AGAINST THE CIGARETTE.

The Antl-Cigarette League Of Chlca-
go has planned a months vigorous
campaign against the evil OF cigarette
smoking. The campaign includes an
Investigation among school boys to
find out the extent to which the evil
Is practised, and the law violated by
tobacco dealers also special Sunday
evening meetings, the program to con-
sist OF speeches by ministers, aldermen,
judges, and other prominent citizens.
It IL suggested that a similar cam
paign be carried on In every city Of the
country, IN order that the evil OF smok-
ing by boys may be checked as much
as possible.
The seriousness OF this evil Is hardly
realized by the general public, but 1t Is
certain that cigarette smoking IS detri-
mental to both the health and the
morals Of the young boy, An epldem-
ic Of moral insanity" It is well said
is leading large numbers of boys to
the commission OF deeds OF lawlossness
Cigarettes, pernicous literature and
low theaters are the MAN causes of this
disease. An official of the Juvenile
court of Chicago, asserts that so TO I5
per cent OF the odenses today for which
hundreds OF boys are being arrested
are committed to crafty theit over
mastering appetite for Cigarettes And
Sir Brampton Gurdon in his speech In
Parliament on the finance bill took oc-
cas- IN TO declare that the failures Of
the French In heir struggle with the
Germans, and the Spaniards In their
late war, was chiefly due to the cigar
cite. He said IN part:
"The eqil effect Of the growing habit
among Boys OF smoking filthy cigaret-
les could scarcely be exaggerated.
without doubt 1t was a habit which
left the rising generation deterorated
III physique, and the result OF such In
dulgerce could be found in the miser-
able lure of the Spanish forces in
their war with the United states the
superiority of the German over the
French soldiers and even In the Trans
vaal war there could be found the eff
fects OF this perniolous habit If ten
or fifteen years hence we should have
the misfortune TO be engaged in great
war this habit among our youth today
would tell against US"
Whether we fully endorse these views
or not, the campaign against the ci-
garette smoking youth should go on
vigorously 1t Is impossible to be tru-
ly free, and slave TO an unnatural
craving. Freedom and slavery can
not exist together, 1t is impossible to
build w moral character in the dense
fumes OF tobacco. The habit is bad
enough in men grown to maturity; but
in boys It is suicidal.

purpose OF eleoting one justice OF the
peace, and one constable therefor
That law has been since amended
and we have already cited the amend
ments as they appear In the laws OF
1903 But they do not enlarge the
powers of the County Commissioners
IA this particular, but In the title az
well az In the body Of the act
the authority Of those commissioners
to unite the precincts In cities OF the
first class into one, Is limited specih-
ally to THE PURPOSES OF THIS
ACT" which were the election Of
justice OF the peace and a constable.
The county commissioners are county
officers and do not regulate municipal
elections or city affairs
The intention OF the Legislature has
been, all along. to give the bona fde
residents OF each municipal ward or
precinct the right to vote for city coun-
cilmen from that ward or precinct
Whatever dublety there may be as to
the exact meaning Of the several
statutes on city elections should be re-
moved by the next Legislature, so that
there may be no conflict about the
rights OF citizens as TO registration or
to voting and less room be left for eva
sion or nfraction of the laws devised
to maintain the power and purity OF the
elective franchise.

A VOICE FROM MACEDONIA.

ohicially 1t has been announced that

sources of information, II is evident
that such peace as there is, has
been bought at a most terrible cost,
It has been stated repeatedly that
according to an agreement between
Russia and Austria, the Turks would
be given free hand to crush the rebel
lion. What this free hand means,
can best be understood from private
letters that have escaped the censor
and found their way to the outside
world,
A contributor TO the Boston Tran
script has received such letters con-
corning the massacre at Bellt2a, about
which mcagre details were telegraphed
at the time. According 10 the letter.

The polls win not be closed this even

fed citizen should be sure to haze cast
a ballot before the day Is out for the
men to manage the affairs of this city

Workers for the candidates should
not permit their efforts to flag during

Extra vigilance should now be exer-

the boldest efforts are put forth in the

A close watch should be kept on the

attempted TO subyert the will OF the
voters be prevented, so that the an

shall be just and right in the sight
Of earth and heaven.

The black prairie lands from long
years of rotting vegetation were origin
ally rich in humus. much more so than
heavy clay land. But even the prairie
lands, when farmed long without re-
turn of manures. show want of fer
tility in production. The growth OF
clover. cowpean and other legumes
cannot be too strongly urged for the
purpose Of restoring humus on old
lands. Some experiments in New York
are referred to. showing that lands
supplied with nitrates and humus by
such cultivation, resisted drouth much
better than any others. A field was
planted with several different grains,
and varying quantities OF humus were
supplied in different parts Of the field.
Where the humus was most plentiful
the grains were heavier and Of much
darker color, with great vigor OF
growth. and were little affected by
severe dry weather. In portions where
but little humus was supplied the
growth was small, the plants were
light in color and soon succumbed TO
the drouth.--Indianapcl News.
