A Ii says. IN conclusion. that CASES of Sc
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1905-09-20

we're although mysterious diseases and
ill.heatth have existed In which smoking
was finally demonstrated to be the source
OF the mischief, after nll other theories
and tilagonoscs Ind been proved false.
The whole subject needs 4 vigorously
scientific Investigation. In the meantime
busy physicians should DO constantly on
guard not to overlook tobacco as MI UNI
suspected cause Of great mischief
There are those that say that tobacco
Ia tho product OF the devil and that 1t Is
Injurious to body nina and morals. we
have always believed, however, that to-
bacco was put here for the enjoyment
OF man, Just ms other good NfnEs were
given BY d benefcent Providence, but 1t
was given TO us to be used and not
abused On ono occasion a fanatic occu-
pied the pulpit Of Mr.. spurgoon's church
and delivered great TRADE ngninst to-
bacco. When the discourse closed Mr.,
Spurgeon arose and said that every man
was entitled to his own opinion on that
subject, but that tobacco to him was q
great luxury, and that before he retired
that night he would smoke at least one
fragrant cigar to the glory OF God. II
The fact Is, no hard and fast rule can
be laid down. Some mel, smoke all their
lives without any apparent injury to
mind or body. whereas Ii, other cases
even a moderate use of the weed is more
or less injurious. The philosophy Of II
all is that each and every smoker should
every now and then have an honest reck-
oning with .hlmself and determine
whether or not tobacco Is hurtful. II he
is d sufferer from any nervous trouble,
he should by all means discon tlnnc his
tobacco for Il time, and see whether or
i.ot there be Improvement. Ile should
make the experiment fairly anG honestly,
and If he finds that smoking is injurious,
lie should have the moral courage to give
it up.
But happy Is the man, especially the
man Of middle age or old age. who can
smoke without hurt, There Is a >solace
In tobacco which Eothing else can givn.s
Apart from the physical enjoyment OF
smoking, there Is something delightful IN
the association Of a cigar. It forms a
part of the social life. When you visit
a friend an important feature Of the
evenings enjoyment is the cigar after
dinner. When you so home upon Win
ter's, evening, and slippers and gown and
easy chair are provided by affectfondre
the part of the evenings
enjoyment to the wife as we'll as to
husband is the cigar which the man
smokes. At the seashore In the summer
time, or at the mountain resort, the stroll
after the evening meal is, with many a
man incomplete without his puff, and his
smoking becomes after awhile almost as
enjoyable to his wife as to himself. And
so the cigar becomes associated with the
sweetest experience OF life. and its smoke
has the fragrance of our most sacred
joys

Monument Avenue.

We should like to see a large and en-
thusastic mass-meetins In tho interest
4 of an Improvement demanded in thu
western section of the city. We refer ~
the cnlng1@ofasAtonulnent Avenue.
This splendid Is already
5ornamented midway by the Lee Monu
ment, which a distinguished German
scholar and art connosseur, recently
visiting Richmond, declared to be the
most beautiful figure he had seen u.
all America. The pedestal for the Stuart
monument is now being erected at tho
entrance OF the avenue; beyond tho
Lee Monument ground has been broken
for the Jefferson Davis Monument, aril
st Is an open secret that the monument
proposed 10 be erected to the memory
Of General Fitzhush Lee will be placed
&rcar the western end of the avenue.
When all these works of art are In
place. with the further ornament Of
grass, trees and flowers, Monument Ave
nue. will be In all probability the most
beautiful street in the South-provdec.
however that it Is broadened so as to
make 1t of uniform width from LON
hardy street to the Boulevard.
ME1y residences have pccn ercclcl.
on the wider portion, but only one has
thus far been built on tho narrow cx-
tension, and the property can now be
acquired one way or another at sma.,
cost, with only one house TO be con
demncd. !
Alderman A. Bcirne Blair has taken
n lively and commendable interest IN
this work and has been cndeavoring to
induce the property owners on either
side TO donate enough of their lots to
provide for tlrA contemplated improve
mcnts, These lots are now one hundred
and fifty feet deep. running from the ave.
nue. back TO a twenty foot alley. Mr..
Blair has proposed to the owners to
donate % feet in front and then taAo
off llvc feet from the alley, which would
make each lot Just twenty feet shorter
than II now is, Some of this property
Is held in trust for minors ana Mr..
Blair has asked the City Attorney fo'
an opinion as TO whether or not the
guardians would be allowed by the court
10 make the donation on behalf Of their
wards. That question has not yet becll
scttled, but Mr.. Blair has approachc !
many adult owners and has found them
more or less responsive to his request
Far be II from us to advise any prop
crty holder on n subject like this, but as
d business proposition 1t seems TO US
clearly In Che interest OF every lot hold
cr 10 have this Improvement made, 10
say nothing of the public spirit In
volyed, Richmonders have tho repula
ton abroad of being the most bigoted
people In the world, which really means
that they are exceptionally loyal to
their own well-beoved City. We havs
never seen greater loyalty among the
citizens OF any city. and II Is usually
equal 10 any demand that may be made
upon It. Many men take pride and
n pleasure IN contributing something tu
the public good, and We doubt not that
many of the lot holders on this ave
nue. are moved by that desire. But
whether or not tho property can b.
acquired by gracious gift 1t should be
.laanired, iand the avenue broata,ned
before another house is built along its
lines, /, would be public shame. almos
a public crime. for the city to fall &c
make this Improvement.

Senator Martin hnd three Items each

his assessment. The rent of his head

spend large sums of money In bringing his
claims prominently and directly 10 the at
