The Result of The s'TObacco
War; in Kentucky.

The "Nnight Riders" of Kentucky
have succeeded in forcing the Amer ican
Tobacco Company to abandon its bust
ness in that State. 1t is announced tina.
the company will move its headquarter.
to Cincinnati. 1t is also stated that the
tobacco growers of Kentucky, Ohio,
Tennessee, Indiana and Wisconsin have
organized the Union Tobacco Society,
incorporated it under the laws of Ken
lucky and will maintain headquarters
in Louisville. The object Of the so
ciety, it is said, "to pool the crops
its members and to secure remunerative
prices
So far as we are advised, there is no
legal objection to combinations of far
mers to secure satisfactory prices for
their products. If the organization in
corporated in Kentucky has 100000
members, as is stated, in five States, it
ought to be factor in controlling the
tobacco market, subject, of course, to
the inflexible law of supply and de-
msnd. But suppose there are also 1000,
900 tobacco growers, in these five States
who will not join the organization OF
pIantters-who prefer to sell their pro-
ducts independently to any purchaser
who offers satisfactory prices. Will
they be protected in their right to do
as they plsase with their crops in SO far
as the sale of them is concerned?
The 'tobacco war" in Kentucky grew
out of the conviction of the planters
that they were at the mercy of a trust
and that they had no remedy in the law.
But the manner in which the war" was
conducted was demoralizing in the law
lessness which it engendered, in the
coercion of planters who had business
relations with the alleged Tobacco
Trust and in the denial of the citizen to
dispose of his property as he chose,
subject to the laws of Kentucky. The
Kentucky authorities have been either
unable or unwilling to deal with the
situation effectively, to suppress law
lessness, to protect planters and to pro-
serve valuable property from destruc-
ton. The trusts monopoly may have
been Objectionable in the highest de-
gree. The planter may have been de-
prived by trust methods of the oppor-
tunty to make fair profit on his to-
bacco crop. But it seems to drought
full men that the resources of the law
ought to be exhausted before there il
resort to coercion. If the State of Ken
lucky is not able to protect the property
of its citizens-and that is the con-
clusion which will be drawn from its
impotence in dealing with the "Night
Riders" who have terrorized the State
foreign capital may not be willing to
risk investment in Kentucky. Thus the
Blue Grass State may suffer materially
for the violent methods employed by
certain elements of it's population to
break the power of an alleged monopoly
On the other other hand, the monopoly
may not be deprived by lawlessness Of
the advantages which it has enjoyed to
the detriment Of the tobacco growers,
Grievances are most effectually redress
ed by the law. Why should not the
planters of Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio,
Tennessee and Kentucky seek remedy
in the law. They would harm no man
then and they would be assured Of pub
lie ympathy.-Baltino ore Sun.

WORLDS SKATING RECORDS.
New Figures for 1,soo and 500 Metres
Mado at Dawes.

Two worlds records at skating saw
the Hight in the recent championships
Of the world held at Davos, Switzer
land. Four events comprised the
meet-5oO 5000, $500 and 1860
netres-and these attracted the besi
skaters in the word.
Oscar Mathiesen. OF Christiania, cap
tured the title, as he won three out
Of the four. In the 1900 metres the
Norwegian won by about three sec
onds. his time being 2 minutes 20 Is
seconds. and 1t was new mark for
the world, beating the old one Of 2
minutes 20 3-5 seconds by Poestlund
at Davos in February, 1900. Mathie-
sen maintained speed of about 11.6
yards a second. The distance was
100 metres short of a mile. and a.
lowing that the skater would slow
down for the remaining distance be
would at the worst do the mile in
2 minutes 80 seconds, figures which
easily would eclipse anything yet
made on skates on a circular track.
Mathiesen's time for 5000 metres
was 8 minutes So 3-5 seconds. VI

miscellaneous charities received $751;

THE QUESTION OF MANNERS.

411E QOEcIVON Of MANNERS.
The question has been much de-
bated whether manners die or mere
ly change. With Mr.. Adolphus vane
Tempest, who writes in the Nine
teenth Century and After, there Is
no such question.
Mr.. Tempest Is sure that with the
Frenchmen who smiled and fiicked
their handkerchiefs and stepped with
proud grace to the guillotine lies
buried "the secret of manners in their
most perfect FORM" Chivalry, cour-
age and courtesy have always been
among the virtues of British gentle
man. but they were never expressed
In the elaborate style of the Versailles
courtier; and something of their mani
festation has departed with the pass
ing of satin, velvsts and ruffles, the
hat of graceful shape and the ready
rapier.
With the coming of the period of
the swallow-tail coat and high stock
manners become moribund, thinks
Mr.. Tempest. But If it had not been
so the first steam engine would have
killed them. People soon learned af
ter that invention that they had no
time for fine courtesies. The age
of rush had begun.
Hurry and bridge have now killed
the art of polite conversation. The
typewriter has taken the grace from
correspondence. Oratory has disap-
peared, classic turns of speech and
the poetlcal spirit giving way to
good, sound, businesslike argu-
ments." The last thing cultivated is
repose, which sis the essence OF good
manners" Even woman has con-
tributed to the general relaxation by
making concessions to the other sex
as to the use of tobacco and as to
certain informalities Of dress and ad-
dress; for there must be a certain
amount of formality in all good man
ners."
What Mr.. Tempest deplores most
vehemeutly Is, after all, the shaving
Of veneer. II the gallantry of the
French aristocracy as a body had
gone to the heart instead of pausing
at fine clothes. an airy demeanor and
the code of honor, there need have
been no Revolution and no Ticking
Of SNUFF at the guillotine.
AS for today's conditions, the great
majority of people in the majority
Of lands are minding their own af-
fairs; duty is being pretty well done
in many places. high and low; the
everyday hero is so inevitably on
hand for an emergency that we be-
gin to think every man is he. These
things surely AFFORD some foundation
of manners. May they not some day
work out an outward manifestation of
courtesy quite as effective as the
grand air." now relegated to the ac-
tors Of the historic drama New

Smaller classes, more industrial
training, better equipped schools, and
special classes for the unruly pupils
are proposed by the Public Education
Association as aids to discipline. The
association urges the immediate
adoption of these methods, notes the
New York Globe, as a substitute for
corporal punishment, and adds that
failure to act upon them will result
in the demand for corporal punish
