Of the ninety eight students
who have been dropped from the
Leland Stanford university on
account of poor scholarship,
ninety-eight of them were
cigarette smokers! Does this
mean anything to the young man
who is trying to get an education
that he may be equipped for the
battle of life? Does it mean any,
thing to you that the great rail-
road corporations absolutely re-
fuse to employ in any clerical or
operative position a young man
who smokes cigaretts? It is the
testimony of every educator that
the cigarette habit ruins the
intellect, and it is the opinion of
business men that the young
fellow who is addicted to
cigarettes is a good chap for his
competitor to employ. The
deadly cigarette weakens the
will, Injuries the general health,
deadens the sensibilities, and
wrecks the nervous system. Of
the annual number of suicides in
this country a great percentage
of them are smokers of cigarettes.
This is not sermon. 1t is just
a passing comment on facts as
they are in matter of fact world.
The conclusion is inevitable. If
you want to do the best for your
self that is possible, if you want
to equip your mind for work, and
to have it backed with a strong
body, cut out the cigarette. Elk.

JUST A LITTLE BASE BALL.

1t may be a little early yet to
begin talking base ball but we
believe in being before hand.
There is going to be something
doing this summer in the base
ball line along the new railroad
and Cottonwood cannot afford to
take a back seat for any town on
the two prairies. We have
plenty of material here for a
winning team this summer and
believe if the matter is taken up
now and properly handled the
boys can begin practicing as
soon as dry weather prevails.
Plenty of practice and proper
management will give US a team
second to none in this part of the
state.

He spoke his love in German
she answered not a word. In
French he tried to woo her-the
maiden never heard. He tried
his luck in English, in Irish-all
in vain; in Greek, Turkish and
Latin, and in the tongue of Spain.
And then an inspiration came to
the anguished youth. The ''un-

the demure maiden and pressed
her to his breast; she understood

This week it was a young
Russian anarchist % years old
who entered the home of Chief
of Police Geo. M. Shippy at
Chicago and was shot and killed
while attempting to kill the police
chief. Shippy's son and butler
were both wounded by the
anarchist, the former being
shot twice. Thus it is that these
murderous attempts of the
anarchists are reported week
after week from all parts of the
country and it is stated that
these people are more numerous
and more dangerous now than
ever before. People raise and
declare themselves against allow
ing any more Chinese or Japan
csc to enter this country but say
nothing when these anarchists
come in by scores from Russia,
Austria and Italy. In our opin-
ion the latter class are much
more to be dreaded than the
yellow peril" and we believe
the exclusion laws of our country
should be amended to include all
of the above named nationalities.

WILL THEY GRASP IT?

A grand opportunity is now
confronting the democratic party
in Idaho-an opportunity of
electing the next governor of
this state-if the party can get
together and adopt platform on
which all members can stand,
and nominate a strong man for
the Office who will meet with the
approval of democrats and re-
publicans alike. It is practically
a certainty that Brady will be
the candidate on the republican
ticket, as he is now conceded to
have a majority of the delega-
tons in his favor. But he will
have some strong opposition at
the polls among the members of
his own party. Brady has been
known for years as the Oregon
Short Line attorney for Idaho
and the fact that he also stands
in with the Mormon leaders of
southeastern Idaho does not
count in his favor. He is also
held responsible by some of his
own party for the failure of the
last state legislature to pass sew
eral laws declared for in the re-
publican platform of 1907. If
Brady lands the nomination for
governor these republicans will
bolt their ticket, providing the
democrats have a candidate
whom they can support. Right
here is where the democratic
party must show it's strength.
If it expects to carry the election
this fall it must put up men for
Office whom any voter regardless
of politics, can conscientiously
support.
And their candidate for gov
ernor should not be Fred T.
Dubois. 1t has been mentioned
that he might be a candidate but
this should not be. We have no
dislike for Mr.. Dubois. We
honor him greatly and are aware
that he has done as much for the
state of Idaho as any man with
in its borders, but in spite of this
fact he would not make a win
ming candidate for governor. He
has many democrats against
him because of his pronounced
anti-Mormon views and would
draw no votes from the republi-
can ranks.
1t is up to the democrats to
put up good, strong candidates
for Office this year and leave the
Mormon polygamy plank out of
their platform. Then, with w.
j. Bryan at the head of the
national ticket, they may hope to
carry Idaho into the democratic
camp. The opportunity is here
and it remains to be seen if it
will be grasped.

iii this new manner, the question Of
expense will also cut large figure.
1t is said that the cost Of construction
is no greater than the construction Of

railroad equipment saved. The cost Of
operating the pneumatic system will
be very slight when compared to the
cost Of operating steam or an electric
line.
The system will undoubtedly be built
in the city Of Chicago, and the Keno
sha extension depends wholly upon the
statistics, which will show the volume
Of business in North Shore towns. In

TAKE OPENING GAME
Kenosha Regulars Defeat MiIwau.
kee Team by Score ofI6toO
OF Gridiron Sunday
WAUKEeAN PLAYER HURT

The foot bali season in Kenosha was
opened on Sunday afternoon at Breen s
park when the Kenosha Regulars went
up against the strong Ripple and
Meyer team of Milwaukee ard de-
feated it by a score of 16 to 0. A
large crowd went out to witness the
game and Mayor Scholey was on hand
to kick off the first ball. The Regu-
lars had the visitors at their mercy
at all times during the game and there
was never a time when the Kenosha
goal was in danger. The game proved
a decidedly rough one and Captain
Beam was so badly injured that he
had TO leave the field at the end of the
first ball ard q substitute was put in
for the remainder Of the game. The
kenosha team, while not as heavy as in
other years, proved to be decidedly
fast and ran away with the Milwaukee
players. The Kenosha team scored a
touchdown and a goal IN the first half
and piled up two more touchdowns in
the second half. O'DonnelI and Cap
tain Beam starred for the Kenosha
team, O'Donnell twice crossing the
Milwaukee goal for a touchdown. The
Kenosha team seems to be the best
amateur team ever representing Keno
sha on the gridiron and some hot
games are promised during the remain
der of the season.

MAY PUT UP WARNINGS

The Kenosha City Council is being
urged to take some steps to place signs
at all roads leading into the city warn
ing automobile drivers against the VIC
lation of the speed laws in driving
cars. At the present time it is claimed
that there is a general belief among
drivers Of automobiles that Kenosha
does not place any limit on speed.
This city is considered sort of hap
Ply speeding ground for the auto driv-
ers and after experiences at Glencoe
and other North Shore towns it is
claimed that they look to Kenosha as
place to make up lost time While
many Kenosha drivers violate the
speed laws daily it is admitted by tile
police that there is more trouble with
cars coming from other cities than with
the local cars.

While the Regulars and the Milwau.
kee team were playing at the Breen
park the Kenosha Centrals locked
horns with the Waukegan Regulars at
the old ball park and the local team
was defeated by score of IL to 7.
The teams each scored a touchbacl1 in
the first half and the battle was par
ticularly grueling one. In the second
half the heavy Waukegan team worked
the Kenosha team down the field for
two touchdowns and ice Clearly saved
the Kenosha boys from rout by car
rying the ball over the W1.IAegan line
for touchdown a few minutes before
time was called.
The play was decidedly rough and
was marred by one bad accident during
the second half. During one Of the
scrlmmages Ross, a Waukegan player,
got under the line and in a scrimmage
he was crushed under the pile sustain
ing fracture of the right collar bone
He was hurried to the hospital where
the fracture was reduced and he re-
turned to Waukegan with his team
The injury was so serious that the
man will be out of the game for the
remainder of the season.
