PROGRESS.

That we are ali here through struggle
through the fruits our fathers won,
Makes us brothere strong and worthy in the
course still to'be run
Who shall say the end is useless, or the
mighty labor doneS
Systems still are blown 10 atoms and the
earth will meet its doom,
Ia the eye OF all the heavens man is ever
in his tomb,
But we see the smallest blossom still out
bursting into bloom.
Just alone that man lie noble, just alone
that he have worth,
just alone that he shall ripen what was seed
in him at BIRTH
Is more imperial problem than the end
OF all the earth.
Human progress still points peaceward and
still further from the brute
Let the end be hidden from me, let eternity
be mute,
/ will struggle on and upward as the flower
from the root.

TEST SMOKE LAW
Two Vioiators of Ordinance Ap.
Peal to Supreme Court

For the first time since it's enact
ment the smoke nuisance ordinance,
which is being enforced by Health
Commissioner Ohage, is fairly before
the supreme court of the state, the two
cases argued on appeal from the mu-
nlc1pal court yesterday involving the
right of the city to enact such a meas
ure.
The appeals We're taken by G.. III.
Robbins, fireman at the Endicott build
ing, and by X. Haugbro, fireman at the
Angus flats, Selby and Western, and in
the cases are involved every legal
question that has been brought for
ward in the various trials of cases
heretofore. The defendants were each
lined $25, and from this judgment APP
pealed, and arguments were heard yes
terday.
One Of the principal points at issue
is whether the ordinance sufficiently
dennes dense smoke, and really wheth-
err dense smoke can be declared a nui-
sance, or is an incident of commerce
and manufacture. This involves the
practicability of smoke consumers and
the possibility of the use of coal that
will not make offensive smoke
Dr Ohage is very anxious as to the
outcome of these cases, as a decision
sustaining the ordinance means that he
VIII begin a crusade against the smoke
nuisance, so-called. The facts are ad-
m1tted by both parties to the contest.
and only the legal construction is de-
sired.
