Editorials by the People.

A Seventeen-Year-oids Shall Lead Them.
To the Editor OF The Times: wish
to express, through your columns, my
opinion in regard to the cigarette and
liquor proposals recently passed upon
by the constitutional convention. am
IL years OF age, and constant reader
of the Detroit Times. 1 take q great
deal of interest IN the Peoples Editor
ial Department -'ss-.a-
I think that if every member OF the
"con-con" had Justly represented the
welfare of the people. the cigarette and
liquor proposals would have passed BY
unanimous vote. / cannot see wherein
those members who voted against
those proposals. could find Justincation
in doing so. But those members who
voted for those proposals represented
the welfare OF the people and should
be highly honored for the position they
took.
The manufacture and sale of cigar
cites should have been prohibited. be-
cause the use or those coffin malls" Is
the cause OF the downfall and ruin OF
the majority OF men whose paths Of
life lead them to drunkards graves. It
seems an outrage that the sale OF those
cause the downfall of SO many young
men, deprive them OF their manly prin-
ciples and lead them to the use OF
liquor. the~ cigarettes co-partner in
moral destruction--should be permit
ted. 1t seems that men amply quali-
NED Tor the important duty OF framing
constitution, to be submitted to the
people. should not believe In the use
or cigarettes and LIQUOR. 49,
The sale OF liquor should be proaib-
tied because liquor Is the most deadly
agent OF moral destruction that con-
fronts humanity Prohibition would
vastly uiminish the number of desti-
tute families kept so by the use OF
liquor. A great many men spend their
earnings IN the saloons. when their
families at home have not sufficient
food for their next meal. Intoxication
Is the cause OF more crimes than all
the other causes combined, because men
under the influence OF liquor, have less
respect fer their fetfowmeu than tie
widest jungle beast. 1 think that II
Diogenes were searching for a man."
at present, the first question he would
ask, would be: Do you use lfQuore and
IL informed that the person did, he
would feel assured that he had not
found the object of his search.
The history OF our nation for the
next century or more, depends upon the
young men of today. Should they, by
the use OF cigarettes and liquor. dwarf
their physical and mental ability. and
moral influence. or should they refrain
from the use of them and allow their
minds and bodies to fully Develop III
young men should not use them the
sale OF cigarettes and liquor must be
prohibited. for long as their sale 10
permitted. some will use them.

Morley made tour OF his cousins

the sight OF an oil painting which was
evidently old and probably quite val
liable.
Great Scott he exclaimed. where
In the world did he get that?"
He took the painting down to look
at It more closely and the result seem

his hands were trembling and his face
was flushed as he hung 1t up again
and intruded once more upon the lone

Quisite taste. There was an elderly
lady close by. but she was quite an
unimportant detail in the young mans
eyes.
Probably 1t was because he was so
occupied in watching mis- pretty neigh

prevent a serious accident. The bag

A BRAHMS ANEcDoTE.
The Man Who Spoiled an Evening For
the Great Composer.

The Man Who Spoiled an Evening For
the Great Composer.
Among the Brahms anecdotes which
are popular in Germany this one was
contributed by Frau Luise Pohl
Brahms liked Baden-Baden and took as
much pleasure In winter visit to the
place as in the crowded summer time.
The residents knew this when they in.
vtted him in 1876 to come and direct
some of his works. After the con.
cert the friends Of the master assem-
bled at Goldemen Kranz by invitation
OF the oberburgermeister gamer to
Shrink glass Of wine" The session
lasted long, but gradually the company
grew smaller. Presently they had all
gone except Brahms and Cornelius
Rubner. After awhile even Brahms
suggested home, and his young COM
panion eagerly agreed to adjourn the
session. On the way home Brahms
asked his companion, whose name he
had not heard, by the way, do you
know this young director Rubner?'
"Are you interested in him?" he ask
ed by way of answer.
Certainly. Adolf Jensen thinks he
is not only great, but genial. Don't you
know him?''
II know him very well. He is an ar
rogant, conceited fellow, who can do
nothing and knows nothing"
The pleasure of the evening was
| spoiled by this harsh opinion as to
man whom Brahms had made up his
mind to like. The next morning he at
tended, with some others, breakfast
at Jensen's, where he told the story.
He had hardly finished when the door
opened and Rubner walked in.
THAT'S the man who slandered your
friend" said Brahms, and when ev.
erybody laughed he suspected what
was told to him as soon as the first
man recovered.

Using the Fire Buckets.

In many business Offices fire buckets
are placed, filed with water, in readi-
ness for an emergency. 1t is seldom,
says the Scientific American, that in
structions for use are pinned near the
supply. The wrong way to tackle an
incipient fire is USUALLY to hurl the
whole contents Of bucket on the spot.
Most Of the water is wasted by this
means. A heavy sprinkling is more
effective. The water may be splashed
on the blaze by hand, but a more use
full sprinkler is hong haired white
wash brush. One of these should hang
beside every nest Of fire buckets.
