To the Edfofsef The Evening Star:

To the Edfofto1 IneiEVenlug Star:
Strenuous efforts have been made In this
city to abate theI evf effects of burning
bituminous. GOAL. MANY persons have .been
smoke law T be- President has indicated
that In the enforcement of that law ne
favoritism must sbs shown. but that all Of
Tenders private or corporate. ordinary or
official. must be proceeded against. De-
spite the great ehardships and expense this
law has imposed, public sentiment has &C
quiesced in'its necessity. More recently an
edict against expectorating on the side
walk was published. The purpose of abat-
ing disease germs and preventing indecency
was accepted as justifable, and the people
are satisfied. A greater nuisance than
either of these exists in our beautiful city
and meets with the earnest protest Of peo-
pie whose feelings and rights in the prem
ises deserve consideration. refer to the
practice on the part of some persons Of
smoking on street cars and in public places
where all classes are required to congre
gate. The question Is not raised here
whether smoking Is Injurious sinful.
The habit belongs to the individual, and,
so far as our present contention Is con-
cerned may or may not be INDUCED by
him, provided he does not interfere with
the rights of others.
What is claimed is that the smoking of a
pipe. cigar ora cigarette on a street car
especially is an offenSe against the obvious
dictates of good breeding and decency. 1t
ignores the rights and feelings of the large
class of persons who do not indulge the
practice. This large class, which consti-
tutes respectable majority, may be thus
summarized.
l. No lady, old or young, ever smokes on
a street car. 80;
2 No boy or girl under twelve years of
age, or little child. ever smokes on a street
car.
g. No gentleman of any age, approaching
the rights of the previous numerous classes,
ever smokes, on street car
Why, then, should these respectable
classes be annoyed and made to suffer
by the thoughtlessness or recklessness
of very small minority? Why should
not this latter class be required to indulge
their habit or pastime or wha you are
disposed to call it, at some other place and
time? Why do not the officials whose duty
it is to protect the street car passengers
establish and enforce such rules as will
guarantee them their inherent natural
rights?
This is legitimate subject for official ac-
ton. ]. FRAISE RICHARDS.

MANY WANT MILES PLACE.
Board Of Control Has Large Number of
Applicants for Superintendency.

Board Of Control Has Large Number of
Applicants for SUPPLEMENTARY.
Des Moines, June 3.-Exactly one
month intervenes before the state board
OF control will have a vacancy in the
|superintendency Of the industrial school
for boys at Eldora- The resignation OF
Superintendent Miles becomes effective
July 1. The next week or two and
possibly the next day or two are ex-
pected to witness the appointment of
Mr.. Miles successor. There are more
than score of applicants for his place
and as many more for the superintend-.
ency of the Soldiers Orphans home ut
Davenport, which post became vacant
by reason of the death Of M. T. Gass,
who had served as superintendent for
many years.
1T is bigger position than anyone
imangines," said John Cownie of the
state board of control in speaking OF the
SUPPLEMENTARY at Eldora. 1T is need
less to say that the work there has been
satisfactory in the past. 1t has not
been because we haven't had the facili-
ties. We are just about to install the
most important feature there. and
after they are in operation 1t is our be-
lief that no boy will leave that institu-
ton who is not thoroughly equipped to
make manly man. There will, of
course, still be those who go wrong, but
the percentage will be greatly dimin-
ished.
I'VE want a man who is not alone an
educator, but is practical man OF az
fairs as well. man who is familiar
with farm work-there's farm OF 500
acres to operate there-a man who Is
capable of seeing that the boys are
taught all kinds of trades. such as
bricklaying, carpentering, the use or
machinery and tools of all kinds and
equipped with practical knowledge
that will enable him to earn
livelihood when he leaves the In
stitution.
..The recent legislature gave us a
state agent whose duty consists OF fur
nishing employment to all about to be
released from these institutions. His
work will be simplifed fy the fact that
the boys will be taught trade, as are
the girls at Mitchellville
"Most of the applicants" says Mr.
Cownie, ARE school teachers, who feel
that their experience In this line mas
qualified them for the work" He says
1t has not been sufficient unless they
are broad guaged men of affairs, who
are capable Of enthusiastic work in all
lines.
Among the Iowa applicants for the
nos,tion are. Professor F. L. Douglass,
former publisher of a school magazine;
professor venneman, former superin-
tendent Of schools in Boone county, and
professor Hobson, superintendent OF
schools at Sioux City.
The salary at Eldora is $500 per
wear. and includes furnished resi-
dence hoard for entire family, carriage,
coachman, servants, etc.

Mickey this morning granted the APP
plication of the state Of Iowa for the
extradition of Tom Dennison, the
Omaha gambler king, who is wanted
at Logan for receiving stolen property.
Denniscn is in Omaha, but is not under
arrest. so far as is known here. The
granting of the requisition came as
surprise to the attorneys who made
the application. They left the execu-
tive chamber with the idea that the
governor was hostile to them. Neither
Dennisen or his counsel opposed the
writ and the governor says tie only
thing he considered was whether or
not Dennison was really fugitive
from Justice, and whether the allega-
ton that the plot was Matched III Ne
braska and Dennison got the goods IN
Iowa was conclusive proof OF the Juris-
diction of the latter state.
United States Marshal Christian ar
rived III Lincoln this morning and re-
ceived the necessary documents and

served. 1t is believed that Deilnisons
