Cigarette Habit Growing.

The tobacco statistics Of the past
year, just issued, shows i marked in.
crease in the number of cigarettes cor:
sumed in this country. The total out
put of cigarettes in 1906 was q, 1868, 729. :
OBS, or about go for every man, woman
and child in the United States, and an
increase of thr,e quarters of million
over 1905. This increase came in the
face of almost ferocious efforts to crush
the cigarette habit in many states and
the consequent statutory restrictions
enacted by legislatures which thought
1t bad enough to be restricted, at least.
And there is another phase. With the
growth of smoking in general, there
has come a rgeat increase in the num-
Der Of smokers who make there their
own cigarettes as they use them, be-
cause it is cheaper, or better, or both,
and the quantity of smoke-sticks they
consumed and which were not included
IN the figures must have been enor-
nous. The grand total can be little
short of appalling to those who know
the injury that lies in cigarettes.
1t is more than peculiar that with
the war against cigarettes stronger
than ever, and despite the warnings
generally uttered, the trade has grown
so tremendously. What caused this
Increase? Is it possible that the cigar
cite has taken on attractive qualities
simply because it is the subject of Sc
called sumptuary legislation? 1t seems
to be case of prohibition that does
not prohibit. and it is quite possible
that the moral of it may be applied in
other directions.

Schools. North and South.

Newspaper discussion regarding tt
disposition of the income of the S3l
900, 900 that John D. Rockefeller r.
Gently gave to the General Educatione
Board has brought out some very il
teresting facts regarding schools, North
and South. While the income of this
immense fund is to be devoted 70 high
er education, needs Of the comm on
schools in some sections OF the country,
especially in the South, have have come
into prominence. Some of the exhibit
are especially interesting. Among
them is comparison of the expendi
ture per capita for the year 10000 be-
tween five Northern states and five
Southern, as follows: Massachusetts.
SIS. ~; New York, $5.63; New Jersey,
$4.29; Illinois, S4.18; North Dakota,
Sc. 25-Louisiana, $1.O6; South Carolina,
S.84; Alabama, $.64; Georgia, S.96;
Virginia, Sill. In fairness it should
be stated, however, that in proportion
to their material resources the South
eln states have provided most gener-
ously for their common schools, the ex-
pense per capita having more than
doubled since 1880.
But, perhaps, the most astonishing
comparison is that instituted by an
educational paper which, in effect, is.
that New York city alone spends more
money on public schools than is spent
IN all Pennsylvania /; and more than in
the Ia states from Delaware to Louisi-
ana inclusive. New York City cen
tains about one-half as many people as
the State of Pennsylvania, and about
one-fifth as many as the states men
toned; yet New York city's resources
for school taxation purposes are not
half so great as those of Pennsylvania,
nor one-third as much as those of the
ID states 1t would seem, therefore,
that schools in the North are better
supported in proportion to resources
than schools of the South. notwith-
standing the progress made in the
South during the last 25 years. Bet
ter public schools in the South may yet
solve some of its perpiexing problems.

Pertinent and interesting Facts Con-
corning the Big Exposition.

1Ouisyille's business section will be
bravely Illuminated every night during
the Greater Louisville Exposition.
The hotel keepers of Louisville, rec
ognizing warm friends and old friends
in all Kentuckians, have announced
that NO advance in their rates viii be
made during the exposition period.
They, as well az all other citizens of
Louisville, are strongly for Louisville,
and for Kentucky all the time.
Ingenious Kentuckians, will find
much to please them in the display OF
inventions, which is now almost com
pfete, in the Greater Louisville Expo
Sition. Every inventor in Louisville.
has been asked to exhibit the offspring
OF his ingenuity, and the result will
be a remarkable showing. 1t may be
that some visitors will be able to get
illuminating ideas from this display.
1t has long been known that as a
center of literary effort Louisville has
considerable renown Her authors
have written everything from theology
to short stories for children, and The
Division of Literature of the exposi-
ton is busy gathering together the
works OF all of these authors of every
form, in order to make complete dis
play. It is held that no city Of It's size
can rival Louisville in the matter Of

to battle, and there viii be many from
all parts OF this state who will see
what their. fathers before them faced.
and they, as a rule, are themselves
ready to face in defense of the flag.
These exhibits will be shipped to Nor
folk for the Jamestown Exposition as
soon as the Greater Louisville EXPOSE
ton closes. IB every respect the War
Department treated the Greater Louis
vills Exposition officials with the same
courtesy and attention that they have
accorded to officials of other great
eKpositionS in the past.
The Postofice Department consent
ed to the request OF the Greater Louis
Vile Exposition officials to establish in
the Exposition Building a model sub
station postoffce, which will show
throughout the exposition period the
handling of United States mails. AS
a decorative feature in the postofice,
exhibits from the dead letter Office will
be shown. 1t is said by many who
have seen this dead letter exhibit that
it is among the most interesting ex-
amPles OF the work done by the Post
Office Department that can be found
anywhere. When the exposition
closes, the exposition postoffice will be
put in use az Louisville substation.
Besides the other exhibits of the
Treasury Department, it was at first
proposed by the officials of the exposi-
ton to borrow from the Treasury De
partment coin stamping machine
upon which to make the exposition
souvenirs. When it was found that
diemaker in Louisville uses an exact
replica Of the treasury machine in the
prosecution OF his business, it was de-
cided that the souvenir coins of the
exposition could be better made by
this Louisville concern, and this plan
was adopted SO that the exposition,
even to the matter OF stamped SOU
venirs, will be truly Everything made
in Louisville

exhibits for the big Louisville event,
it is now assured that Louisville will
be able to offer to her visitors, from
March 18 TO so, an opportunity Of
seeing the most novel collection of
government exhibits ever shown in
any great exposition. President Roose-
welt has graCiously agreed to press the
button which will officially set the ex-
position in motion. and has instructed
Secretary Loeb to make the necessary
arrangementscfort the ceremony, which
will take place in his Office March Is.
The government exhibits are now IN
process OF packing. it Is understood,
and they will soon be on their way to-
Louisville, where they VIII be Seen by
countless Kentuckians and other
Southerness, as we'll as the people IN
broad strip OF Indiana and scattered
delegations from nearly all. the large
cities I'm the United States where the
Greater Louisville Exposition is about
to be initiated; The arrangements
which were begun during the month OF
dent of the Exposition Company, were
recently completed by Fredi Levy. its
Vice President both of whom made
lengthy trips to Washington, being
greatly assisted there by Kentucky
congressman aud government officials.
According to. the latest plans, there
will be sent TO Louisville from the
Treasury Department complete extiib-
its of the currency of tie UTnited
States, and the various issues of inter
nal revenue stamps which have been
used at different periods Of our ma
tioHaf life. Both OF these exhibits, are
very valuable, and heavy bond wars re

exhibits are attractively framed, with
the view of allowing the closest pos
sibFe inspection without handing.
They will be under the direct super
war department, who, it is supposed
at present, win be sent to, Louisville
to have general supervision over all
government exhibits. Besides the
stamps and currency notes, the Treas
ury Department has consented to send
to Louisville frame containing all
the medals which have been voted to
individuals by congress since che first
one, which was voted to George Wash
ington. These medals have~a value III
historical and memorial ways. They
commemorate various. deeds OF hero
ism and statecraft, and should be
viewed with intense interest by all
who see them.
The Navy Department viii send to
Louisville a model of the battleship
kentucky, which will show in every
detail the lines OF that great fighting
machine. The model will be twelve
feet long, and wilh occupy the place OF
honor in the great marble lobby in the
Exposition Building. 1t will be placed
where all who enter the building will
see it, and viii have an opportunity
TO study its appearance. AS the peo-
pie of Kentucky gave a magnificent
silver service to be used on this bat
tleship, it will be interesting to see
what manner of vessel it is. as there
is hardly community in the state
which did not contribute TO the fund
which was raised for the purchase of
/ the silver service. Besides the beauti-
