Appomattox Day,

Thirty-eight years ago today General Lee
surrendered at Appomattox to General
Grant and put an end definitely to the strug-
gle between the states. The period follow
ing AppOmattox has been marked by WON
derful changes in the political as well as
the material aspect of the country. The
sections which then seemed riven beyond
reunion, despite the failure of the secession
movement, are now close together thanks
to the breadth of view taken by the leaders
on both sides and the wholesome develop
ment of public sentiment. The chief figures
at AppomattoX on that 9th day of April
1865, We're inspirations to both the victors
and the vanquished. The magnanimity of
Grant and the philosophy of Lee afforded
helpful examples to their own followers.
Each recurring anniversary of Appomattox
day should contribute to q close under
standing between the sections. The line of
former division is growing fainter Party
politics and some present day problems
serve to mark it. but migra ton in both di-
rections and travel and reading and educa-
ton and cooperation in military and COM
mercial warfare against foreign foe are
doing their work and contributing steadily
toward mutually of understanding. A few
more years and the celebration OF Apo
mattox day may be marked by the complete
obhteraton- of all traces of. the conflict
General Grant breathed the sentiment
which should obtain on this day, LET US
have peace" l--f.,. -.s

cite habit because the specific poison of
the nicotine which their blood abSorbS
through inhalation of the smoke into the
lungs stunts their growth and checks their
general development A study of street
conditions will convince the observer that
the boys OF Washington are smoking ex-
cessvely, and. Furthermore, that ma
jority of those who smoke make their own
cigarettes. They buy the tobacco by the
bag and cheap papers by the package, so
that their smoking costs them much less
than 1t would if they bought the manufac-
tured cigarettes. Some believe that this
form of smoking is not especially delete
riOus. the tobacco being purer and free
from all suspicion of the doping or treat
ment with drugs which it is alleged is
practiced by the manufacturers to increase
the consumption. But the nicotine poison
ing continues just the same, drugs or no
drugs. Thus. any anti-cigarette law to be
effective must prohibit the manufacture of
papers from which cigarettes may be made
by the smokers, well the manufacture
and sale of the completed cigarettes them
selves.
The United States will watch Canada's
course in this respect with keen interest,
for there Is growing sentiment on this
side of the dine that some more severe legis-
lation is needed to check growing evil.

Canada's Anti Cigarette Crusade.

Canada s house of commons the other day
passed by a very large majority resolu-
ton in the following language:
That the object of good government is
to promote the general welfare of tine pep
pie by n careful encouragement and prOtec-
ton of whatever makes for the public good
and by an, equally careful encouragement
and suppression o. whatever tends to the
public disadvantage.
That :he smoking OF cigarettes has been
proved by overwhelming testimony to te
productive OF sertoGs physical and moral
injCr" 10 young people: iuapairing health.
arrestng development weakening intel
lectual power, and thus constituting a
social and national evil
The legislation licensing and restricting
the sale of cigarettes has not proven suffi-
Gent to prevent these evils, which will con-
tinue ,wAile the public sale of the cause of
the mischief is permitted to so on
That this house is OF the opinion for the
reasons hereinbefore set forth, that the
right and most effectual legislative remedy
for these evils Is to be found I'm the enact
ment and Enforcement of a law prohibiting
the importation. man1faeure and sale OF
cigarettes"
THIS enactment is merely declaration of
opinion. 1t makes no law. nor contributes,
save by. the creation of sentiment toward
iaw-creation. But it is a suggestive index
of public opinion. The prohibition of
cigarettes has often been preached In this
country by reformers. but the idea .has
been rejected as impractical. The furthest
Congress ever went was to prohibit the
Offering of any form Of premiums In the
sale of cigarettes. and the war revenue law
of 1888 placed an additional tax upon this
form of tobacco manufacture. Statistics
are to be had showing both a decrease
and an increase in the. Consumption OF
cigarettes. Certainly the amount consumed
Is increasing from year to year. but whether
the Individual consumption is going up is a
question. 1t is Illegal today in this country
for tobacconist to sesl cigarettes to mi
rors. but that law 10 fiagranay violated.

Ohio.

Asked for an expression as to the result
in Cincinnati Mr.. ingalls, is quoted as fol-
lows: - 10. .-.a
There Is nothing to say. The reports
show for themselves. When the people
read the returns from the sixth. eighth and
pened and how it was accomplished. Our
fellows have done noble work. The
logical candidate for governor of Ohio is
Tom Johnson, and l am for him If he is
the democratic nominee"
The world likes a good loser. and in this
brief utterance Mr.. Ingalls, shows himself
to be one. He confesses to the thorough
ness of what was done to him. and shows
thankfulness for what was done for him.
Pity that so true philosopher should be
lost to our politics.! Poor losers are SO
numerous. They whine so, and take up so
much space explaining how it was done,
and yet make nothing plain but the bare
fact of their disappointment.
But maybe the wisdom of the reference
to Tom Johnson is open to question If
MIR. johnson runs for governor of Ohio he
must have a platform. and that platform
must deal with larger questions than
street-car fares 1t must handle questions
indeed. with some bearing ON national af-
fairs. And it must fit the candidate. On
national questions Mr. Johnson holds some
radical views. He Is a free trader to begin
with, and a single taxer to end with. AL
though he calls himself a democrat, he is
a disciple of Henry George rather than of
Thomas Jefferson. We should have a high
daddy of a time if Mr.. Johnsons views
were written on the country's statute
books.
Now If. as the result of his reelection
as mayor of Cleveland. Mr. Johnson is
nominated for governor of Ohio on plat
form embodying, if only in part. the prin
Ciples for which he stands, will Mr.. ingalls,
really find it possible to support him? Mr..
Bryan was the partys candidate for Presi
dent in 1896 and 1900 as the representative
of principles to which Mr. Ingalls, did not
subscribe, and the result was bolt. Mr..
ingalls, would not support his party's can
didate when, in his opinion, he did not rep
resent democratic doctrine. And yet Mr..
Bryan. advocating free silver at 16 to /,
was not then and is not now, half so far
away from the tenets of sound democracy
is Mr.. Johnson advocating the policy of
the single tax
OF course, Mr.. Johnson, If he runs for
governor next fall, will not ask for the in
sertion of single tax plank or for free
trade plank in the platform. Nevertheless,
he believes in those policies, and would be
glad to see them put into operation. And
this is something for everybody to consider
who for any reason shall favor increasing
Mr.. JOhnson's prestige political leader
and his power as a public official. Mr.. In
gals as sound money democrat and prac-
teal man of affairs would look strangely
out of place as a supporter of Tom John
son for governor of Ohio, with next years
presidential nomination a part of the pro-
gram.
