The anti-clgarette law is now in
force, but Its effect in reducing the use
of cigarettes by minors is not yet
apparent. The boys who smoked
them before smoke them still, nor is it
difficult for the smokers to obtain
them. In fact, it doesn't require the
ingenuity of snail to circumvent the
law. No prosecutions have taken
place for selling to minors-none may
take place, but it is idle to expect any
falling off in the use OF ''coffin-nails"
by minors under any such law. If the
smoking of cigarettes is wrong, it is
wrong not because somebody has
conceived prejudice against it for
sentimental reasons, but because it
does injury to those who indulge and
indirectly to others interested in, or
dependent upon, them. IL is not
urged that cigarettes are more harmful
to youths than TO adults who use them
with the same immoderation. II their
sale is a proper subject for adverse
Legislation in the effort to prevent their
use, it is unreasonable and illogical to
forbid the sale to minors, while
permitting it to adults. If cigarettes
are to be put under the ban, it must
be done completely, to old and young
alike, before it will be effective.
it would please us to see
this done, simply because we believe
that the cigarette habit is one of the
most injurious to which our young
men are exposed; we say young men
because the older generation fortu-
nately did not have the opportunity to
acquire the habit. 1t is clear enough, !
though, that the present law is
absolutely dead letter. 1t may do no ..
lirect harm, but it fails to accomplish I
any good.

Proposed TO Use the Home for the
Blind.
BUILDING WAS RECENTLY ABANDONED
Same Representative at the Last ses-
sion introduced Similar Measure,
But the Bill Failed in the General
Collapse-Gives His Ideas.

Des Moines, Dec 7.-Reprcsentativc
j. l.. Warren Of Marion county, while
in Des Moines, gave it out he propos-
ed to push vigorously measure for
the conversion OF the Institution for
the Blind at Knoxville into normal
school,
Mr.. Warren will enter his second
term as member of the house OF rep
resentatives this winter. At the last
session he proved to be one of the ac-
tive members. He brought forward
at that time bill to turn the lnstitu-
ton for the Blind into state normal.
but the measure failed IN the general
collapse that came about of the diff
ferent normal school projects.
While at the Slavery Mr. Warren
evinced much interest in educational
affairs and on the subject of his pro-
posed bill said:
Two years ago | introduced bill
to convert the Institution for the Blind
located at Knoxville, into state nor
NAL school. 1t stirred up quite a hor-
nets nest and the members Of the
house fought several skirmishes over
the matter during the term. The fact
was the state made a good sized
blunder when it first established the
Institution for the Blind 1t was not
self-supporting and lost the state
about $4,000 annually. Following a
discussion of these matters when my
measure was before the legislature,
and also following the recommends
ton of the board of control, the insti-
tuition was abolished and the building
vacated. 1t stands there within one

bones of Fred KrenZee, a farm hand,

fourth man to have been killed by

than pay them their wages. Bastian

similar circumstances. He hung him
