WOULD BAR
CIGARETTES.

TRENTON, Feb. 19:-There was
introduced in the house of assembly
at last nights session, a measure
that is likely to cause deep concern
among q certain class of small boys
and will probably be greeted with a
storm of protest as an infringement
upon their rights. Incidentally, its
passage would materially reduce the
sale of cigarettes in this state.
The bill was introduced by Assem-
blyman Jess, of Camden, and seeks to
abolish the cigarette habit among the
youth of New Jersey. AS means to
this end, its provisions are stringent,
as it fixes the. penalty for selling the
"coffin nails" or the presentation of
them to any person under eighteen
years of age at $50 fine or three
months in the county Jail, or both, at
the discretion of the court. The bill
was given its initial reading and re-
ferred to the Judiciary committee.
A number of petitions were sub
mitted protesting against the repeal
of the bishops act. A round of ap-
plause greeted a resolution presented
ny Mr.. Corish, of Essex, congratulate
ing Speaker Lethbridge upon his
forty-first birthday anniversary.
At the suggestion of Mr. Riordan,
of Hudson, house bill No. 1876, con-
cerning the Improvement of stone
roads which comprise the boundary
line between counties, was recommit-
ted.
Bills on Second Reading.
These bills were given a second
reading: Provides that judges of the
court of common pleas hereafter
shall be attorneys-at-law to be elig-
ible; H. 81, authorizes second-class
cities to appoint an inspector of coal,
ice, ETC.; H. 80, provides a penalty
for selling articles of merchandise at
short weight; II. 76, the Hendrickson
school teachers tenure of Office bill;
H. 205, amends the act respecting
conveyances; joint resolution No. l,
provides for the purchase of portraits
of former governors of New Jersey;
H. 43, appropriates 100000 for the
Princeton battle monument; H. 81,
the Brady water bond bill; H. 178,
prohibits sewering into the Passaic

Commenting on this, the Princeton
Union asserts that this means that
the firm cannot compete at its old
prices with reputable dealers with
out adulterating its goods. 1t means
that with the prohibition of adulter-
ants the profits would be removed.
And it also demonstrates that the

ly of no avail so far as the proven
ton of adulterated goods by foreign

THE TRUANT PROBLEM.

State Supt. Olsen's recommends

providing for nonresident truant

some efficient legislation against
truancy is. very much needed. It

ever, whether the appolntive pow

be increased to the extent of giving
any governor an unlimited number
of retainers and henchmen. But a
way can certainly be found for
better enforcing our truancy laws.

that every official should be placed

three New Ulm men in Jail under
sentence for selling liquor to minors.
According to the statement of the
News of that city, the prisoners are
enjoying all the comforts of home
anyway, and are not suffering any
great hardship. A largely signed
petition of New Ulm citizens was
presented to the pardon board by
attorney Eckstein, but Judge Start
disposed of his plea that the punish
ment was too severe for a first
offense by saying. ''The purpose of
law is to prevent such occurrences
and the punishment ought to serve
as warning to others. 1t may be
that these men have been punished
sufficiently to keep them from
offending again, but the punish
ment will fail of its object of warn
ing others"

Our California and Washington
readers need not think for a minute
that they are having all of the nice
weather. Last Christmas day was
one of the most beautiful DAYS in
this part of Minnesota ever seen
anywhere. The air was filled with
sunshine and the temperature just
mild enough to make walking a
pleasure. Every one who was able
was strolling about during the day,
except the younger people who were
skating on the lake. And this fine
weather was prevailing during the
balance of the week. 0, Minnesota
is good enough for a whole lot of
us yet. Well admit what Mr.. Her
riott wrote last week, that for per
sons past middle age and for inva-
lids, Southern California is an easier
proposition than Minnesota for a
few months of the year, but there
is one product in which Minnesota
outshines them all, and that is,
strong, healthy boys and girls.
