VINO Sells the Cigarettes.

1t is very common thing 10 see
small boys in this town smoking Gig
arettes and giving them to other boys
to smoke. This is done by boys from
six to ten years of age. The question
is where do they get them? There lie a
severe penalty on any one who sells
cigarettes or cigarette papers to any
one under sixteen years of sge. If
those engaged in the traffic are not
selling them TO these boys someone
else is buying them for these boys.
The penaltyin this case would be more
severe than when the merchant sells,
as the merchant has license while
the go-betweeD has not. The matter
should be investigated b.j' the authori-
ties.

Though the battle among Republi-
can brethren for the senatorial toga
that now graces the ample form OF
Nathan Bay Scott is nearly year DIS :
tant. SO far as the actual primaries
and conventions are concerned, the
clans are already lining up for the
fray, which seems de tined to become
fast and furious ere long.
That Scott is going to have the bat
tie of his politi al career there Is not
the slightest doubt, and, as usual,
Ohio county liz to be the scene CT the
hardest fighting. With three Wheel
ing zen after the nomnation--Sco tt
Hubbard and Schenk--a scrap that
would place that historic encounter of
the cats of Kilkenny in the shade can
be readily surmised, And when it is
stated that the toga is to be battled
for by several eminent Republican 8
from other sections of the state, the
size and strenuosity of the coming pc :
litical conflict is easily realized.
According to the latest information
from inside Republican counsels, the
senatorial fight Of 1910 will be featu red
by the largest field In the history of
the state. In addition to the three
Ohio county men; it is alleged that
when entries close it will be found that
the candidates. of the following viii
have been announced: Ex-Governor
Albert 3. White, of Parkersburg; ex-
Governor w. NJ. o. Dawson, of
Charleston, Tor Preston comfy ;Thos.
w. Fleming, of Marion county; FORM
er Supreme Court Judge Joseph M.
Sanders or Isaac T. Mann, Of Mercer
county, and former Tax Commissioner
Charles w. Dillon, of Fayette county.
Some of thee men will enter the SEN
atorial race with the knowledge abso-
lutte that they havn't enc chance in
hundred of winning. Why, then, their
entry into the race? The 'dope' run
meth that all of these candidates will
pose as anti-Scottt and that their fight
will be especially directed to the sell
ection of antl-Scott delegations from
their own and nelghbering counties,
with the hope of the combine securing
sufficient strength to prevent Scott
from sect ring the majority over all
needed to win the nomination, and
that at the wind-up the Scott opposi-
ton will center upon the man showing
the greatest strength. Review.
