MORE FOOL LAWS.

In Wisconsin and Indiana laws have been enacted forbidding the sale, giv- ing away or importing into the State either cigarettes or cigarette material. If we know anything of such matters any brand of smoking tobacco Is 'cig- arctic material" and any kind of tissue paper can be easily converted into wrappers. Do the States propose to prohibit the importation of all pulver- ized tobacco and of all kinds of tissue paper? Do they think it possible to enforce such prohibitions? Are not such laws worse than absurd? The Milwau- kee Free Press evidently thinks so and puts some interesting queries. It wants to know if citizen of Wisconsin has not right, when in another State, to purchase smoking tobacco for his own use? If so. Is he not allowed to bring 1t into Wisconsin? Then 1t adds:
 It was declared the other day when the cigarette measure was up in the Senate, that there is no question about the "constitutionality" of it. If by this 1t Is meant that the law does not con fiict with the federal law, then will re- main the important question, of who is going to see that the new law that makes misdemeanor, punishable by fine or Imprisonment, of owning keep ing, or being in any way concerned in owning or keeping cigarettes or ciga- rette paper, is to be enforced? It cer- tainly will not enforce itself, any more than the present laws governing the sale of cigarettes to minors has been able to enforce itself; and law that | Is not enforced does not beget respect | for law. There is none too much re- | spect for law, anyway, in this free country of ours. That is to say, there
 Is more respect for the lawmaking in dustry than there is for the laws after
 they are made And 1t is not a good thing that this is true.

Tennessee Claims to Have One.

chattanooga I times.
 The Montgomery Advertiser quotes dispatch from Jackson, Mississippi, as saying that ex-Chief Justice Campbell of Mississippi. iS the last surviving member of the Confederate Con- gress." and says: "Ex-Senator James L. Pugh was one of the representatives in that Congress from Alabama during the most of its life at Richmond, and he Is in the enjoyment of excellent health. If we are not mistaken we have in Tennessee an honored and great ly admired survivor of that Congress in the person of the Hon. Joseph B. Heiskell, at one time Attorney General of the State and Supreme Court re- porter, now enjoying a ripe old age at a well appointed country home near Memphis. Judge Heiskell was during the war citizen of Rogersville, nov ing to Memphis in 1888 or 1869.

In its Answers to Correspondents" The Richmond Times Dispatch seems to have muddled things day or two ago. A correspondent said he had a board 12 inches wide and 16 feet long which he wished to saw diago- nally from one corner to the opposite corner at the other end. That would give him two wedge-shaped boards, 18 feet long, 12 inches wide at one end, running to a point at the other. Then he wants to know "how far from the 12 inch end to cut the one-half board across to have 4 feet in each piece so I will have five boards with 4 feet each" Without apparently noticing the ab- surdity of the question, as printed, our contemporary proceeds to a demonstra- tion iof the problem. It does not ap- pear to notice that the man wants to cut two precisely similar pieces of board so as to have five pieces of the same size, nor does 1t see that he wants to get five pieces. each containing 1 feet of lumber. out of a board which origi- nally contained but 16 feet, board measure. If our contemporary's arith- metic can accomplish those feats we shall have learned something.

Iowa has never had Presi- dential candidate Indiana and Ohio have long been favored. That the really dominating interests of the party would, however, prefer MT. Shaw to Mr' Fairbanks is extremely doubtful.
 The old desire to nominate somebody from a close State may fail to be ef- fective as an argument next time; there are no close States now, at least on the basis of the Roosevelt vote, unless, per chance, the Republicans should nomin- ate a man from Missouri in order to hold it's eighteen electoral votes in the Republican column.

Eyesore at City Hall.

A gentleman who attended the Civic Improvement League meeting last night at the City Council Chamber, said after leaving the hall that he was greatly interested in all that was said. It Is in the right direction and is wish, however, that I could have seen pr. Anderson and MT. Sawyer before they spoke so earnestly and sincerely on the matter of cleanliness in public buildings.
 If they had gone with me to a point on the same floor and within less than forty feet of where they spoke feeling of disgust. Just before enter ing the Auditorium, going from the Council Chamber, there Is on the left side an Indecent appurtenance, which should be removed. It is barely con cealed from view. Right on a line with 1t and only few feet off is what appears to be a stairway. No matter tacle of odds and ends that simply makes. a disgraceful sight and almost sickening to a sensitive person.
 This is all within 8 few feet of where hundreds of women and chll- dren have been passing during the day and until late in the evening for sev- eral weeks past.
 If Dr. Anderson and MT. Sawyer had only known of this unslghtly place right in the City Hall and almost at the door of the Council Chamber, moro vim and zest would have been added to their vigorous words. The City Beautiful is all right and will come in thing that little attention: soap and water and vigorous scruoblng will give to us before the primary election comes off"

Cieaninr Covernor,a omce :.

"I heard few days ago that Mrs. Jelks told the Governor that he shouldn't go back into his office until 1t was cleaned out thoroughly, said State official yesterday. Well. she seems to have had her way about it and there Is no doubt that her posi- ton is approved by everyone who has a look at the private office of the Governor. Yesterday l noticed that the servants were put to moving eV- cry piece of furniture and fixture and the carpet from the ofice and giving the floor a scrubbing.
 That was the thing badly needed l do not believe in pompous show about the executive office of the State but the appearance of tidiness should certain ly be preserved. Even if there were no bacteria secreted in the old carpets and the inches of the office. neat sur rounding can be counted on to put any body in better spirits and conduce to healthful work.
 "The cleaning of the office will do until the Capitol improvements which are about to begin are started in the Governors office While the details of the interior repairs of the building are not arranged it Is expected that much work will be done in the executive of flee.

Live Stock Convention,

Among the important conventions to be held in Montgomery soon." said a farmer of this County, who was in town yesterday, the one that interests me most is that of the Alabama Live Stock Association, whose annual meet ing will begin at the rooms of the Commercial and Industrial Association next Tuesday morning.
 While we are all striving for 0 re- ductfon in the production of cotton and crying out for diversified crops we may well afford to listen to experienced men who have words of wisdom on the raising of fine stock. This is the pur- pose of the convention and some of the most distinguished agriculturists of the country will attend the meeting.
 The most important out-of-the State speaker will be ex-Senator w. A. Har- ris of Kansas, who will be present on the first day of the convention and will have something to say of raising cat tie and horses. Senator Harris Is per- haps the most prominent raiser of fine stock in the country. At his home in Linwood, Kas., he has vast acres where thoroughbreds of every descrip- ton are raised. Joe Wing, of The Breeders Gazette, a popular live stock periodical, will also attend the meeting and will deliver an address.
 Already Middle Alabama is attract ing attention as a suitable location for raising live stock and I hope our peo- pie will attend the meeting and mani fest a live interest in the subjects to be discussed"

Defends Mra. Reader.

The fact that Mrs. Reader. who is now in the public eye. is an Alabama woman" said a newspaper reader, lis of course interesting to people of this State, but see no good reason why so much surprise should be expressed by the newspapers that she has made sue cess and much money in her business
 "The fact is, this thing of exploiting the ICivate affairs of a woman because she develops money-making propen- sity is tiresome to me. There are wo- men of brains, just like there are men of brains, and l do not think 1t is compliment to the gentler sex to inti- mate that women may not, as a rule, be successful in the business world.
 Mrs, Reader was born of family of intellectual, energetic and success full men and women. She found oppor- tunities and she developed them just as thousands of bright, brainy women might have done. Remember we have Mrs. Hetty Green, the late Mrs. Le- land Stanford and numerous other wo- men of large affairs. Because Mrs. Reader made much money by her own efforts Is no reason to sensationalize about her"

saved would pay for the lumber to
build sheds for shelter. You not only
have your stock in better condition

a good growth on them, so that when

For PuyaIIup Experiment Farm.

The state legislature has been asked
to appropriate money for reopening
and conducting the state experiment
farm at Puyallup, and at this writing
the outlook is good for the appropria-
ton being made. The senate has ap-
proved the matter and it now remains
for the house to let the action taken
by the senate stand. The amount
asked for is $4,000 and this is in
Guided in the general appropriation
bill that has passed the senate.
The entire western half of the state
believes that the Puyallup station
should be reopened, in order that ex-
periments may again be conducted
there and that benefits of the same
nay accrue to the western section,
which is so unlike the eastern section
in most ways that the experiments
being conducted at Pullman are not
at all adapted to conditions here.
