The MON has the face of a man with

WILL NOT IN TER Any CIHUSG
President Pembroke Jones. of the Ma
tiOnaI Rice Milling Company. 40 De-
cIares.

(New York Commercial and Financial
WorId)
There have of late been rumors and
reports in regard to nearly every line
of business that is represented in this
country, to the effect that representa-
tive concerns had entered or would en-
ter trusts or combinations or CONSOLE
dations, very often without any basis
whatever for such stories. Only the
other day Mr.. Edwin Gould, authorized
a denial of the report to the effect that
he contemplated entering a match
trust, and the Pillsbury- Washburn
Flour Milling Company lave found 1t
necessary to issue similar denials in
regard to a flour trust.
And now, it is learned, the rumor
mOngers have been busy with the Ma
tional Rice Milling Company, and
statements have been printed to the eff
feet that there was in process OF forma-
ton a rice milling trust, of which that
company would be the most conspicu-
Gus figure. But it now appears, on the
authority of Mr.. Pembroke Jones, the
president, of the company in question,
that there is not a word of truth in
any such stories. He says that the
National Rice Milling Company has
not entered and win not under any cir
cumstances enter into any consolida-
ton or combination or trust. Not only
so, but it will greatly enlarge the scope
Of its business upon an entirely indie
pendent basis. Mr.. Henry Kahn, the
vice president of the company, who has
headquarters in New Orleans, recently
| came to New York to consult with the
president in regard to this intended ex-
tension of the business, and this visit
seems to nave been seized upon by
those who are interested in spreading
the stories about a trust and used 10
give color thereto. But, as we nave
said, no trust will ever embrace the
National Rice Milling Company with
in its scope and a rice trust without
that company will resemble nothing in
the world so much Is the play of Ham
| let with the part OF Hamlet omitted
| In point of fact, We do not see how
| any rice trust can De formed without
this company, and under the circum-
! stances, the whole project nay as well
be dismissed as being unworthy Of at
tention. -
1t is not out of place to d the state
ment that the National Rice Milling
Company is doing remarkably well
nowadays. and that there is a better
outlook for the future than yer be-
fore. The company is one Of the
soundest and best managed business
undertakings in the country at the
present day.

THE PROGRESS OF ras rrEsD.

That the deadly cigarette is constant
ly getting in its work of death Is too
plain for denial. We recently saw a
case mentioned of death from its use.
But why note particular cases where
there must be thousands scattered all
through our country. The exa-nina-
lions of surgeons of soldiers In the
Spanish war are proof strong as Holy
Writ" OF those examined for entrance
into the army thousands were rejected
on account of the cigarette habit. A
great many at discharge were found TO
have tobacco hearts," and were in a
serious condition. In yesterdays Mes
senger it was reported that before the
National Convention OF Charities and
Correction, Mr. George Terrence, sup
erintendent of the Illinois State Re-
formatory, gave it as the result Of his
large observation and experience that
the deadly cigarette is destroying and
making NOR criminals of the youth
that the saloons. That is fearful re-
proach. Think of anything on earth
beating the saloons is destroying life
| and making criminals. In one insti-
tuition the figures given were indeed
most startling. Mr.. Terrence said that
"of s~ixty-three, averaging II years of
age, fifty-eight were cigarette smokers.
OF 1873, averaging IA years of age, 125
were cigaretCe smokers. OF eighty-two,
averaging Is years, seventy-three were
cigarette smokers.
"This demonstrates that 90 per cent
| of the whole number were cigarette
| fiends at the time Of committing crimes
for which they were committed to the
reformatory."
What is to be the future of boys with
such a record? How about this coun-
try? And yet the deadly cigarette is
popular, is winked at, is fostered and
and scattered broadcast. The law max
| ers sit serene and self-contained not
| seeing or caring.
