THE CIGARETTE EVIL.

= HANKS LARGELY to the fnteIIf-
gent efforts Of DIR. Willis Brown.
some progress is being made against
the cigarette evil in Salt Lake City.
More than 1000 boys of all ages. from
to Is years, heard d talk by Dr.
Brown i'm the Tabernacle OF Friday
night. They listened also to other
speakers who told in forcible words of
the inevitable harm that comes from
smoking cigarettes. The meeting was
at times disorderly, for boys will be
boys wherever they are. but. in the
main, it is well worth while.
\ distinct disappointment, however,
was the sparse attendance of parents
1t is estimated that there were hardly
200 adults in the building. If this is
an indication that the parents of Salt
Lake children do not care whether
or not their youngsters acquire the
cigarette habit. it is high time a mass
meeting Of srown-ups Was organized.
That it is necessary to argue with any
sane individual against cigarettes is
not to be believed.
The only possible theory is that par

in Salt Lake after school hours. and
carly i'm the evening. viii convince the
most skeptical. Boys of all ages and
sizes will be found on street corners
putting away at cigarettes. They are
running their health, impairing their
minds, destroying their possibilities for
usefulness. If the parents of all of
these ounSsteTs are satisfied with such
conditions they are not worthy TO be
parents.
We know that all fathers and moth
ers believe their boys are perfection.
They take it for granted that their sons
will not smoke cigarettes. forgetting
all about the dangers of example. the
desire to emulate other boys who are
doing what they think is manly. When
the habit has been almost irrevoca bly,
fixed the revelation comes. We believe
there should be a senior as well as Il
junior anti-ciEarette league.
And We believe the senior league
should make it it's business to prose
cute and punish every dealer who sells
cigarettes ana tobacco to children in
violation of the law.

That is, sixty men know a secret. Two
hundred newspaper men are after that

sixty senators is under obligations to

BATTLESHIPS.

n IN INTERVIEW in New York
L yesterday Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford was quoted as saying that
the battleship must settle the ulti-
mate issue in war, no matter what
we build" And Admiral Beresford add
ed: "Battleships are cheaper than war.
They are a sort of insurance. if we
have them sufficient and efficient. for
peace" The consensus of opinion
seems to be with the admiral One of
those who agree with him is the com
mander Of the Russian battIeship Sc
VastOpOl, the last of Russia's big fight
ing machines to succumb to the Jap
anese bombardment of Port Arthur.
He says:
one lesson that ! have learned from the
war is that the battleship is above all

by both mines and tOTpedOCs, and battered

Tins but the battleships stood up to their
work month afters month.
Those who are looking for expert tes-
timouy are not likely to turn their
eyes toward Russia these days. but
there is something in what the Sevas-
topol commander says. This in spite
of the fact that the great Petropav-
lovsk was sunk by a submarine mine.
and sunk to quickly that there was no
time to save the officers or the crew.
1t was in this disaster that Admiral
Makaroff, and the Russian painter.

BeresfOrd was careful to say that bat
tIeships must be efficient.
We have an admirable type of the
efficient battIeship in our Oregon. No
history of the war with Spain will be
complete without the story of the run
of this magnificent lighting machine
down the west coast of South America
around the Horn and up into Cuban
waters, where she bore n most gallant
part in the conflict with Cervera. The
Oregon was honestly built and eff

as useless as so much junk.
Admiral Beresford said another sig
nificant thing in his interview 1t was
IF we two nations, the Americans and
the British, get together, there is no
doubt that we Will control the peace
! Of the world" What a fine thing il
would be if these two nations would
/ combine to keep all the world at peace

Standard Oil Profits.

stock. This S496. 0S5,000 i conSidera bly,
more than one-fifth Of all the money

States.
The 496.O65.O00 hitherto distributed does
not represent the total profits of the oil
combine. What it's surplus and undivided
profits are no one outside of the inner
most hierarchy of the oil kings knows
Nor is there any means of knowing how
much is spent each year in lobbying and
in influencing legislation, in crushing
competition and strengthening the grip
of the combine on its monopoly.
BY far the larger part of the Standard
Oil profits have been accumulated in the
last nine and a quarter years. Prior TO
1896 the total dividends paid amounted TO
less than Sl30. 600 COO Since that date the
profits have been on such a scale that the
total is astounding. The annual figures

EXECUTIVE SESSIONS.

THE SENATE has about come to the
conclusion that the secret, or ex-
ecUtive, session is secret in name only.
II has taken a long time for the MEM

a discussion of the matter on Friday
Senator Cullom said he had often
thought it would be a good thing to
abandon executive sessions.

news OF these secret sessions than they
ever did before" he continued. Sena-
tor Cullom is right. And the executive
