WOMEN AND SMOKING

One venturesome New York res
tauranter issued an order that wo-
men should be permitted to smoke
during meals in his establishment.
Other dining rooms have declined to
follow the lead and the number of
smoking women in the restaurant
open to them is said to be small.
Now comes the welcome news that
the board of aldermen will probably
pass an ordinance forbidding women
to smoke in public places, even though
there seems to be considerable doubt
of it's constitutionality
In European cities the custom of
women smoking in public places is
recognized and that is the argument
used by the restaurant keepers who
do not object to the innovation. To
copy the vices of the Old World is in
no wise creditable, especially one
which degrades a woman. If there
are any good things abroad, by all
uCduS COpy IhCLl, Dut WACh OAiJ IAO
filthy things are brought over, it is
time to call for a halt
The discussion in New York of the
move shows that that the moral sense
of the American people, even in it's
most foreign city, is not entirely dead.
Womanhood is still held in respect
and the cheapening of the sex is
frowned upon by the powers that be.
In the South a certain class of
women smoke, but decent women
have tabooed such practices Such
offenders against public decency SEN
timent in the South are fortunately
not admitted to the hotels and have
no effect On the moulding of senti-
ment.
Almost anything is countenanced
by some part of the smart set in New
York. The danger is that their de-
graded standards may mislead some
one into the belief that they repre-
sent public sentiment. If women are
determined to smoke in New York, let
them be restricted to their own homes
where their example will not be very
far-reaching.

DRAWING BEGINS.
Woman Gets First Choice of the Rose
bud Claims.

Dallas, S. D.. Oct. 19.-Very few of
the $4,000 persons who registered at
this place were present when the
drawing of the Trip county Rosebud
lands began this morning in the big
tent. The drawing began shortly after
10 o'clock. The nineteen large iron
cans were opened and the contents
spread out on the front of the plat
form. Ex-Congressman Gale of Fair
banks, Alaska, made a short address.
He was the second delegate from the
territory He came here to the open
ing from Alaska in the interest of his
sons, who desire to draw a claim.
After the preliminary arrangements
of emptying the iron cans which con-
tanned the applications of the 114,769
persons who had registered the draw
ing began. Judge James w. Witten
made the announcement of the first
name drawn.
The winner of the first number in
the Tripp county opening was Miss
May A Melser of Kennebec, S. D. She
is 80 years of age. She lives with her
parents on a farm about four miles
from town. Her application was mall
ed from Presho, S. D., and her affi-
davit was sworn to before a notary at
Presho. Kennebec, S. D., is a town of
800 inhabitants and is 80 miles west
of Chamberlain.
The next names drawn were:
Peter Swift of Ponca. Neb, second,
and E. H. Hannen of Meadow Grove,
Neb., third.
The opening of the heavy iron cans
was quickly done.
After Thomas w. Gale had finished
speaking the little girls, Dema Rose
and Virginia Wagner, were introduced
by Judge Witten. They were heartily
cheered
Just 25 minutes after the cans were
opened and thoroughly stirred, Dema
Rose was carried to the front of the
platform by Judge Witten and told to
walk any where she pleased and pick
up an envelope from behind her back.
The little miss, who is only four years
old was frightened and about ready to
cry. She walked to the middle of the
pile of envelopes and rached down and
picked up the winning. envelope.
Following the first drawings the two
little girls acter as ushers. Little Miss
Rose is the daughter of G. NJ. Rose,
mayor of Dallas. The cans had been
enclosed with solder near the top and
this was pried loose allowing the tops
to be lifted off The empty cans later
were lifted off the platform at one side.
One man evidently looking for a souve-
mir, took one of the first cans out of
the railing. Judge Witten saw him and
Immediately went over and jerked the
can back from the man. Some of the
applications might have been clinging
to the side of it. The drawing was
fairly and openly conducted and the
crowd of 1000 persons cheered the pro-
cedure of the drawing as it took place.

tion to Empire State.
Bryan and Leading Orators Will
Swing Through State.
MACK is CHEERFUL.
Says Democratic Landslide Is
Coming.
Encouraged by Poll in Ohio and
New York

New York. Oct. 19.-Massing all the
forces Of the militant Democracy in
the final struggle of the campaign to
capture the empire state, Norman E.
Mack, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, bearing prophe-
cies of victory, came from the west
today to take personal charge of what
he declares will be the hardest fought
finish of any presidential campaign in
this state. Not only Mr.. Bryan but
other Democratic speakers of note, in
Guiding several United States senators,
will swing through the state in an ef-
fort to capture New York's electoral
vote for the Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Mack held several conferences
today with eastern leaders looking to
a devisement of plans for the final on
slaught. The national chairman as
serts that Bryan will be elected by a
landslide and in support of this
declaration made public today on his
arrival here some results which he
had obtained from precinct polls made
in many of the socalled doubtful
places.
Mr.. Mack said: 'T am firmly con-
vinced that William ]. Bryan will be
elected by a landslide. Within the last
two weeks have caused a careful poll
to be made by captains in hundreds of
precincts in New York, Indiana and
Ohio for the purpose of obtaining the
percentage OF RepuDncan loss over
four years ago. The results OF that
poll were amazing. In no instance
have the reports made me shown the
percentage of Republican loss in this
state to be less than % per cent. and
in Erie county the losses to the Re-
publicans ran as high as 40 per cent.
Equally large loss to the Republicans
were shown, not only in Ohio and In
diana, but in the twelve other states,
which the two parties are contesting.
These figures mean oily one thing
-Bryan's election by tremendous
pluralities, That these figures are cor
rect and based on a careful poll is
shown. from the fact that 1 directed
the precinct captains to submit with
their reports the names of the Re-
publicans with their addresses, who
intended to vote for Mr.. Bryan"
