RESULTS OF THE
CIGARETTE HABIT

The opponent OF the cigarette
should secure and reproduce in every
way the experience OF the recruiting
officers on the gunboat Wasp, at
Newburg. They have not been able
to secure recruits because the young
men who applied were not 1T to make
sailors OF. OF the fret 100 applicants
only six were accepted. or the other
ninety-four, almost every one had
both a weak heart and fiat fetal
though II there Is any connection be-
tween these two disabilities the sur
geons have not made IL plain. Out
OF another batch of twenty young
men, nineteen were rejected because
OF weak hearts caused by cigarette
smoking.
There Is a lesson for every school
principal in the city. Nineteen boys
out OF twenty had weak hearts, and
all were cigarette smokers. The
fact ought to be driven into the con-
sciousness of schoolboys in those
callow years when the cigarette
seems alluring and manly" Most
Americans have a pretty healthy con-
tempt for the misunderstanding Pa
risians, who unfit themselves for any
useful purpose In the world. But
unless We can stop our boys from
rotting themselves with cigarettes
before they have ripened into man
hood. We cannot assume any airs of
superior virtue over the Parisians.
What mature man smokes is his
own business. II he has a weak
heart and still smokes cigarettes, he
Is a fool; but when a man insists up
on his right to be fool II he
chooses, his neighbor cannot well
oontrovert the position. But when
a half-grown boy contracts a vice
which is almost certain to stunt his
physical development and to UNIT
him for harl or useful work, II is
time for elders who maintain any re-
lation to him whatever to try their
best to break up the practice

THE PRUSSIANIZATION
OF POLAND

Apparently lntimldated by the op-
position which It's original PROPOSE
tlon instentaneously provoked, the
Prusslan Government has modified
It's plan for the Prusslanization OF
Poland through the elimination OF
the native land owners. II asked,
in the first instance. for an approprl-
alton of OO.0OO.O 900 to be expended
for this purpose, but IL has now sig
nlhed It's readiness 20 be satisfied
with no moro than 100000, 900. As
the Conservatives. who control the
Diet by a large majority. thanks to
the fragrant inequlty OF an electoral
system which practically disfranch-
lses the masses of the population
through the inordinate representa-
ton accorded TO the land own rs,
have announced their willingness to
accept the principle OF appropriation
when It's application Is thus restrict
ed, another effort 20 Prussianize Po'
land by main force will presently be
made.
One would like 10 think that II
will prove as much OF failure as
every such previous attempt Any
thing more fiagrantly more nn-
rlghteously. more tyrennically op-
.presslyo Is with difficulty imaginable,
To use the power of the Govern
ment 10 dispossess the Poles OF their
lands and OF their homes in order
that Prussians may be settled there
Is an infamous outrage more worthy
of the Dark Ages than OF the nine
teenth century. II Is strange that so
Intelligent a man and so generally
enlightened a ruler as the King OF
Prussia. better known as the German
Kaiser, should assent 10 so reaction
ary and violent a course. II Is not
by such means as these that Poland
can be placated and It's people b.

THE SCHMIIZ CASE
CONTINUED from page one)

bis alleged immunity bath, the court
has the following to say:
THE ruling In regard to this cross
examination was erroneous. and
highly prejudlclal to the defendant.
The defendant could not have been
convicted upon the testimony of Ruef
without corroborative evidence. and
Il was not fair to the defendant 10
refuse 10 allow him to investigate
the motive Of the witness"
Indictment was Defective.
Taking up the question in rela-
ton oihe validity of the Indictment
which perhaps, Is the most important
portion OF the decision. the court alb
solutely knocks out all contentious
made IN regard 10 the validity OF the
Indictment II not only holds that
the Indictment Is insufficient, upou
the ground that 4 did not show the
specific injury threatened was an un-
lawful injury but also that the in
dlctment does not state a public Of
isnse.
The judgment and order OF con-
yieiion are hereby reversed and the
trial court is directed to sustain the
demurrer 10 the indictment, and dis
charge the defendant upon this in
dleIment," are the closing words OF
the decision, which was written by
Presiding Judge Cooper and con
cured in by Associate Justices Hall
and Eerrlgan.
Decision Peleases Ruef.
Frank J. Murphy. who was attor-
ney Tor Ruef during the latter's trial,
declares that the plea of guilty en-
tered by Ruef will not in any way f.
teet his rights in regard to taking
an appeal, now that the appellate
court has decided that the act to
which he plead was not a criminal Of
Tense.

court In the case of People VS.. Ell

Is OF no consequence. and no SEN
