BAN ON CIGARETTES.
Admiral Schroeder Objects to Enlisted
Men Smoking Them.

Washington. June II. Cigarette
smoking by the enlisted men of the
United States navy should be discour-
aged as, much as possible in the opin-
ION Of Rear Admiral Seaton Schroeder
commander in chief of the Atlantic
battleship fleet
Admiral Schroeder desires, to see the
pan placed upon the habit and has
recommended to the secretary of the
navy that no cigarettes be sold at the
snlps store on any of the vessels under
ms command. 1t is probable that Sec
rotary Meyer will take action in ac-
cordance with Admiral Schroeder
recommendation.
Admiral Schroeder began his obser-
Vat1ons as to the effects of cigarette
smoking by the Jackies at different
times while he was executive officer on
several of the ships of the navy. He
peieves that cigarettes impair the
health of the men and do not in any
for duty.

are wondering whether it was just a

Some who have been more dependent
upon taleum than others are especially
worried, for Prof Kahlen told the
blushing ones they would ruin their

the powder practice.

Wheat in Kansas.
Kansas City. Mo-, June 17.-Charles
Lacy Plumb of New York is one of
the large dealers in flour and corn
meal. Before the Patten wheat cor
ner in Chicago Mr.. Plumb purchased
large quantities of flour. He was one
of those who saw what was coming.
He has had -four to sell when others
didn't Mr.. Plumb is in Kansas City
and is going to Kansas to study the
wheat situation.
There is too much alarm over this
wheat situation" Mr.. Plumb said at
the Coats house. Everything centers
around what Kansas will do. The
eyes of the world are now directed
toward the Kansas wheat crop, be-
cause the -four from Kansas wheat
is sold around the world. This is a
time when we want to know what is
doing in Kansas and there isn't any
better means of finding out than Wis
ting the state personally If the Kan
sas wheat crop is short it will drive
the price of flour up. If it isn't short
there isn't any use of this alarm ex-
pressed in all parts of the country"

THEY SELL DIRT.
Potato Deal May Lead to Testing
Weight and Measure Law.

The question of whether or not a
commission man can sell potatoes by
weight under the new weights and
measures law and still have a large
per cent of dirt in the delivery of the
merchandise will likely be tested soon
in the courts, a case in point be1ng
taken before the attorney generals
office by the board of health for an
opinion today. -s .-s
The case was that of Topeka
commission man who sold liz
pounds of potatoes to a Topeka gro
Ger and the latter gathered fourteen
pounds of dirt, actual weight, from
the shipment and then made COM
plant to the board of health auth
critics. The eopinion of the attor-
ney general was to the effect that
this was violation of the weights
and measures law which requires full
weight of the goods sold and deliver
ed and that any, foreign substance
added to the package would have to
be deducted in the amount of its
weight. Now as the foreign substance
in this case was only plain dirt, and
dirt is cheap. a direct violation of the
law is apparent from any ordinary
course of reasoning.
The retail grocerS are demanding
prosecution under the law as this
amount of dirt in a small potato ship
ment would wipe out their profits, as
they would not dare to sell SO much
dirt in their potato deliveries. The
commission man claims that he too,
bought the dirt with his potatoes, but
the consumer looks to his dealer and
the dealer must look to the whole
saIer. The latter could look to the
producer or the car lot shipper.
The board of health, after securing
the attorney generals opinion, will
consider the matter of whether or not

ANTHONY'S COMMENT.
First District Congressman's Views on
Opponents Platform.

. LeaVenWorth. Kan. June 1.-THE
Zines prints the following editorial. as
Congressman D. r. Anthony's comment
on the formal statement by T. A. Nc
Neal in the latter's announcement OF
his candidacy against Mr.. Anthony:
When a man goes before the people
to exhibit his claim to a public office
he is entitled to a hearing. That is
one of the exactions which every man
rlay demand and which the public has
no right to refuse, under our demo-
cratic form of government Therefore
the LeaVenworth Times in common
with the remainder of the daily news
papers of the First congressional dis
trict has printed the platform of T.
this constituency in the house of rep
resentatiyes after the next regular cleo
ton.
Mr.. McNeal says he has been a voter
of the Republican ticket for the last
thirty years. This experience of Mr..
McNeal is not entirely unique. There
are thousands of voters in the First
district not constantly seeking an Of
flee who year in and year out, have
remained steadfastly by the Republican
candidates for longer period than a
score and a half of years, and they
have never asked for a public office.
They simply found a pleasure in their
devotion to the old party's principles,
Mr.. Neal starts out by saying that
he is a protectionist and from that on
most of the remainder reads like the
platforms adopted by Bryan Democrat
ic conventions. An examination of Mr.
MeNeafs personal platform leads tc
the inevitable conclusion that either he
or the Republican party is drifting from
its mornings.
Mr.. McNeal says he is a. protec-
zionist. SO are we all. However, that
political element with which Mr. Nc
Neal has allied himself, has chosen
strange ways to prove it's republican
ism, as proved by their peculiar de-
Tense of the tenets of protection. His
belief and that of his crowd would
place him clearly in the list of DEM
ocrats who, pandering to what they
believe to exist as a popular preju-
dice against any tariff schedule which
would affect the price of the commo-
dities which they consume, declare
for no tariff at all, and accordingly no
protection for the American working
man, which is beyond all and above
all the justification for the protective
tariff.
Mr.. McNeal says that he favors
getting rid of the Philippines as soon
as possible. He uses-practically the
same language that Bryan did in his
campaign on Imperialism when the
Nebraskan was so overwhelmingly de-
feated by Roosevelt. Only a few days
ago a Democratic senator. Mr.. Stone
of Missouri. offered a resolution to
carry out the ideas of Mr.. McNeal on
the Philippines and the Republicans
in Washington without regard to fac
ton voted solidly against it. Mr.. Nc
Meals position here is directly at va
