Are statesmen Doomed?

Ernest Wurn was arraigned before
Magistrate Crane in the Jefferson Mar
ket Police Court, charged with the lar
ceny OF S4O0 from the firm of B. Alt
man & Co. When Wurn's case was
called Magistrate Crane asked:
DO you smoke cigarettes?"
Yes" Wurn replied.
Cigarette smoking is the direct
cause of crime" Magistrate Crane said.
1T befuddles the brain"
To the complainant, who repre-
sented the firm, the magistrate said:
THE best thing you can do is to get
up a petition in all the cities of this
country for the United States Govern
ment to prohibit the sale of cigarettes.
Ninety-nine per cent of the criminals
brought before me are cigarette smok-
ers. It weakens the will power. In
thirty years there will be no statesmen
left in the United States if the use of
cigarettes continues" - New York

Cost of Leap Year.

The fact that this is a leap year
carries with it an effect apt to be
overlooked, which is that the annual
expenses of governing the nations will
be considerably increased by the in
clusion of the extra day. This comes
home with the greatest force TO
those Governments which have the
largest armies to feed and provide for.
The French Budget Commission, now
sitting, is met by the fact that the one
day will add to the expenses of the
War Office for 1904 a sum of nearly
500. 900 francs. which will be expend-
ed in rations for the men and forage
for the horses. When all the various
state departments are separately con-
sidered, the total sum runs into sew
eral millions of francs.-London Tit

French Critic cn Wages.

Discussing the American wage ques-
ton after a study Of our last United
States census the EconOmiste Francois
says: On whatever basis they are con-
sidered the conclusion must be that
American wages are the highest in the
world and that even il the movement
Of increase IS just now less rapid than
at other times nevertheless the upward
tendency is still general This high
wage scale fully justiies the economic
theory that the great regulator Of
wages is the productivity Of labor. This
is incoutestably greater in the United
States than anywhere else.
Established thus on the basis Of
highly paid but extremely productive
labor. of bold and progressive capital,
a spirit Of enterprise always awake to
search after better things. and finally
on a natural wealth which is really
colossal. no one need be surprised IL
American industry should become the
most powerful I'm all the wOrld.-New

Grand Island Is Safe. but
Bad Reports Come From
Antioch Farming Districts

STOCKTON, Feb. 2e.-The east bank
of the Sacramento River broke fifteen
miles north of New Hope at o'clock
this morning. Sixty thousand acres
north Of the Mokelumne River were in
undated. The flood waters carried
every levee before them. They poured
into the Mokelumne River. raising that
stream until It burst the banks on the
south side, flooding 1000 acres in the
New Hope district. 1t is the most dis
astrous Hood IN the northwestern part
OF this county since 1881.
While all danger of the food has
passed so far as Stockton is concerned,
the country to the east and northeast
is not so we'll off. The Tyler Island
levees have broken and the water is
pouring through gaps which it will be
impossible to close.
From Ryer Island comes the report
that the water is up to the top Of the
embankment, with prospects of an
overflow at the first high tide. Grand
Island IS considered safe. 1t is not be-
lieved that the Staten Island levees
will hold out the day.

This dispute about heated trolley

incident of a few weeks ago. 1t was
during the first few days of the cold
snap and instead of taking my even
ing eXercise-that is, walk home from
the 'ofIice-I would ride home on the
car.
II sat near the front door of the
car and when l saw the motorman
turn his head from the gust at every
intersecting. street my heart went out
to him in. sympathy-in fact, / ex-
pressed my sympathies to the conduc-
tor, and was surprised at the answer
that he gave me. He said l was suf-
fering more from the cold at that
time than was the motorman, and the
reason was that the motorman had
paper wrapped all about his body,
from his neck to the tip of his toes,
and that this kept him warm .''-Phila-

SACRAMENTO NOT UNEASY.
RIVER Is Falling and Levees Protect
the City.

b1C ivy
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 2s-The Sacra-
mento River is steadily. falling, regis
tering 259 feet at noon to-day. So far
as Sacramento is concerned this fact is
of merely passing interest for there
has never been a time during the pres
ent high water that the. least. fear from:
flood has been felt. The levees about
the city. offer absolute protection.
The back water which has inundated
the country south of the city limits is
falling steadily The water which has
its ultimate outlet into the Mokelumne
River: had been held in check by a nat
ural ridge northeast of :Freeport, which
caused a steady rise between that
point and the Y-street levee for. a cou-
pie of days: This ridge has been topped
and. the: :backwater will not go higher !:
The water which escaped through the
Edwards break reached the vicinity of
New Hope yesterday and last night be-
came troublesome. The flood. plane of
the, Mokelumne was already at its
highest. and the added water from the
Edwards break caused great alarm
special: to. the Bee; from. Walnut
Grove, at NOON states that the. cross
levee on the Crawford-Clark ranch
near there went out at o'clock this
morning. This was due to the pressure
of the backwater from the Edwards
break A telephone message from
Clarksburg early. this afternoon stated
that Grand and Merritt islands were
all right and that the Lisbon district is
safe. The river at the locations named
was falling and the backv ater from
the Yolo Basin is a a standstill
special message to the Bee. from
Rio Vista, at noon was to the effect
that the water in the river at that hour
was an inch higher than il was during
the food period of 1902, but the levees
in that locality were reported to be in

and great uneasiness was felt lest the
rain should be general throughout the
