The question OF State police power was
first advanced by Chairman J. J. Jen-

proposed bill would not take away from
the States all power to regulate the

Gave Her Life for Others.

History has presented few ex-
amples of greater heroism than
that of Mrs. S. J, Rookie, the tele-
phone operator of Folsom, N. M,
who, when warned by a resident
of the hills to flee for her life from
the flood speeding to engulf the
valley, rejected the opportunity tv
save herself and employed the
hour that interviewed between the
warming received and her own
death by drowning in calling up
subscribers by telephone and &C..
qualnting them Of their danger.
More than 40 families have al
ready acknowledged their lives
saved through the magnificent
course of one frail woman, whose
lifeless body, with the telephone,
headpiece still adjusted to her
ears, was found IL miles down the
canyon.-Baltimore Sun.

The Cigarette Law is a Farce.

Judge Webb stressed the law
that prohibits the sale of cigar
cites to minors in his charge be-
fore the grand jury, and the citi-
zensh1p ought to take notice of it.
The law is a dead letter, It is
violated with impunity and the
inaction of the officers furnishes
immunity to those who for the
sake of a few cents prey upon the
youth of the State. One single
arrest and conviction of an un.
scrupulous dealer would end the
illegal and immoral practice of
any community. The Judge
spoke true when he said that the
cigarette evil is one of the greatest
that besets both boys and young
men, and that it is far greater
than most people think exing-
ton Dispatch.
