would go to one of the half dozen Others
mentioned. Secretary Long was called

statement of his attitude on the ques-
tion. He seemed disinclined to enter in
to any general discussion of the matter,
however, preferring Ito let 1t rest with
what he has already said on the subject,
believing that the vice presidency is an
honor of such a character. that no man
could we'll refuse to accept it. The sec
retary, however, is not an aVOWed candi-
date seeking the place, but the belief is
general that if the nomination is offered
to him he will accept.

Ban on Cigarettes.

Chicago, April 13.-Chicago business
houses are putting a ban on cigarette
smoking by employees, saying the habit
is incompatible with efficient service.
Absolute prohibition has been declared
by three large firms and one railroad,
and others are expected to follow this
initiative. Aside from effects on the
mind it is claimed that nicotine is doing
such physical injury to clerks and office
boys as to cause loss to employees. One
firm has started fund to be subscribed
to by twenty business houses, who are
asked to join in a crusade against the
use of the cigarette by the employees oi
all of the large department stores and
the factories in Chicago. By the pro
hibitions already enforced 100 en-
ployers are affected. Of these 80 percent
are boys under Is years old. OF these
boys it is estimated that 600 who now
are abstaining from cigarette smoking
formerly were smokers.

Willis j. Abbott, head of the democratic
literature bureau. This Il n most
gratifying fact. 1t indicates that should
the democratic party, after mature de-
liberation, deny the admiral the nomin-

count on his hearty cooperation and his
influence in behalf of it's efforts to end
the evils OF Mckinleyism by ending the
reign OF Emperor William" Comment
ing on the purpose of his article, Mr..
Abbott says: "We are naturally de-
lighted at the prospect of such a distin-
gulshed addition to our ranks as Adj
mlral Dewey, but, of course, we expect
the admiral TO play fair and accept the
good old democratic doctrine and abide
oy the result OF an honest democratic
convention"

STILL another y az

Recently the APPEAL published a
scheme whereby in cG72 q 3aok rob-
berry the people IN the bart could give
= silent alarm to the people On the cut
SIDE. There IS still another way which
We think would be quite as effective.
Let the bank reople take their sworn
statements to the Assessor, print them
on dura Die card board and post them
up IA conspicuous places. The mem
oera OF the burglars industry would
only have TO read them once to dis
cover that there was not enough cash
on hand to warrant raid, and they
would leave the institution severely
alone.
! We recon- mend this scheme to the
banks IN Nevada and believe it viii
work well and save the banks large
sums Of money which might other
wise be stolen.
