Bow Smokers,

One of the most distressing sights to
be witnessed In any city is the spectacle
of a small boy smoking a cigarette. 1t
is common sight SO common that many
people pass it unquestiOning, no longer
noting the discrepancy of years and
habit. Physicians have constantly taught
the noXious effects of tobacco on the
growing lad, IT'S stunting. dwarfng, semi
paralyzing influence, its tendency to lower
the vitality and to exaggerate the vicious
traits. That is physical fact, easily
demonstrated by hundreds of closely OBJ
served cases Parents have not lacked
warnings, and have in the main under
taken to correct their children. But the
force of adult example has proved too
strong for the lads to resist in SO many
cases that a shockingly large number of
youngsters are slaves of the tobacco habit
and are suffering physically and morally
in consequence.
At present the law fOrbids. under
penalty, the sale of tobacco to any person
under sixteen years of age. 1t Is unques-
tionably violated constantly. Boys have
little or no trouble in securing cigarettes
When they cannot find a dealer who will
sell TO them directly, in fragrant violation
of the law. they use an intermediary. The
use of loose tobacco and tissue papers
has become common among the young
sters, and in the course of an hours walk
through the downtown streets of Wash

! tinctly contraband to them. but which
are as easily secured as candy.

Lessons Not Learned.
IN the New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune.
That element of uncertainty which gives
attractions to the stock market and the
racetrack seems to have certain charm
for nearly all members of the human
family, or else it must be assumed that
the memory Of the average individual is
shorter than the proverbiaf June bug
tail. How else can We account for the
persistent disregard which individuals and
nations show for the lessons of the past?
In volcanic countries we find the peasants
erecting their huts and planting their
vineyards up to the very submits of the
cones which are likely at any time to
burst forth in eruption. and in those local
tiles where floods are of periodic occur
renee. resulting in great loss of life and
property, no sooner do the waters return
to their accustomed channel than the
ploughman goes forth to turn the soil,
seemingly obliviOus to the fact that as
sure as the sun rises and the seasons
succeed one another the banks will again
overflow and crops be ruined. perhaps
not next year nor the year after. but
eventually.

The japanese Ambassador.

Baron Takahira expresses pleasure on
returning to America. and he may be
sure the pleasure is mutual. The memory
Of his services at this capital is fresh and
everybody shares in the appreciation of
both the man and the official. At very
trying time here-during the war between
Japan and Russia-he carried himself as
his country's representative with bal
ance that commanded the highest re-
spect.
1t was situation of great difficulty for
him. Ordinarily. in a contest between
European and an Asiatic power. Ameri-
can sympathy might have beene counted
from the outset. with the former. In this
case. however. it was most pronouncedly
with the latter. We were all for Japan, and
rejoiced in all her victories. We then
helped her make peace
But this did not render the mission of
Baron Takahira one of ease. 1t required
rather extra caution and capacity on his
part, that what had come to his country
at our hands should be nourished by
whatever it might be in his power 10 do.
He met the emergency fully. At all times
alert he was yet at all times discreet,
and the close of the chapter found him
departure from the country was sincerely
regretted
We have today an altered situation. 1t
is not one of gravity. but one of delicacy.
America and Japan are still friends, but
busybodies. foreign and domestic. political
jirgoes and stockholders. have been try
ing TO disturb their friendly relations
Facts have been distorted and inventions
put in circulation with the object of set
ting the two powers by the ears. The
world has been asked to believe that
both America and Japan are rushing ar
rangements with the view of early hos
tilities and that they may open any day.
In an interview which appears today
Baron Takahira shows that he has not
been msled in the slightest degree by
the racket of the jingoes and the stock
jobbers. He sees nothing but peace be
tween his country and America, and has
come. of course. to labor for a continual
tior. of the cordiality which now character
ICES the official intercourse of the two
governments. In that aim he will be
gladly assisted and encouraged and his
presence here again will make largely for
success. He knows the lay of the land.
and we know him. and everything is bet
ter for his resumption of duty.

Force and Peace.

Gen. John w. Foster-in a letter The
Star was happy to print-differs with
this newspaper on the subject of Mr.
Justice Brewers recent Lincoln anniyer-
sary speech. Judge Brewers assertion
was that mo peace born of force can pos
sibly endure The Star cited the supreme
exercise Of force by Mr.. Lincoln and the
peace. now forty-three years old, which
followed it, Gen. Foster confesses the
point made. but explains the peace as one
of justice. Turning the matter around, he
asks what would have happened if the
other side had triumphed. Instead of
peace, he believes we should have had
anarchy. or two hostile camps with re-
curing wars"
That is matter of opinion. The GER
tain thing is that the triumph of the
Southern Confederaey would have put an
end to the old Union. Two governments.
al least. would have resulted; and as one
would have had slave labor for it's corner
stone and the other free labor. they could
never have become one. They might not
have fought. The appalling four years
of conflict might have taught each the
advisability of respecting the other.
But the question is the possession OF
force, and the dispaS<0s to employ it,

always of course in the cause of justice
successful war of justice is reasonably
certain to be followed by peace OF
justice.
Let us suppose that. instead of a spine
less chief executive. some such man as
Andrew Jackson had occupied the White
House between November, 1860. and
March. 1861. That is to assume. with en-
civil war, at least at the time it broke
upon the country. Gen. Jackson be-
lieved in force. and in the exercise of it.
He believed in being prepared for emer-
gencies. And he possessed the prescience
of Lis spirit. He would have known what
was up. and. with threats of destroying
the Union filling the land. would not have
been straining his ears for angel voices, or
balancing like a casuist or a lawyer the
question of whether the Union possessed
the power to preserve itself. He was a
nationalist to the marrow. and would have
been vigilant in preventing. by force if
necessary. organizations for the disrup-
ton of the government

ering the re-establishment of serviceable
sea ornaments. Does that impose no duty
upon US? Are we not a great power, with
a long coast line on each of the two great
oceans, and as such can we afford to be-
come stale or backward on the water?
The Star favors more ships. 1t believes
in being prepared for every possible emer-
gercy 1t holds its ground midway be-
tween the lingo. who wants prepara-
tons made in the hope of war. and the
millennialist, who fancies that proclama-
tons for peace will keep off enemies.
Force and preparedness are the law of
great nations. They explain all the peace
the world has ever had that was worth
having and all that it has today, and the
better prepared We are for war the like
lier we are to enjoy peace.
