opposEo 70 AMENDMENT.

The ST Louis Real Estate Exchange
has entered the field in opposition to
the proposed constitutional amend
ment prohibiting the sale and manu-
facture Of liquors in Missouri At a
meeting of its directors a resolution
was passed unanimously declaring
against the move for statewide prohb-
ition, and authorizing the appointment
of committee to go to Jefferson City
TO lobby against that project. The
resolution declares that submission
OF the question would mean the utter
annihilation Of the largest single
business interest in the city of st.
Louis and wholesale destruction Of
property values there and in Kansas
City, st. Joseph and other important
business centers. The real estate in
terests of st. Louis pay fully rs per
cent of all taxes levied in that city
for the support of the city and state
governments. and they appeal to the
good, sound business sense OF the
members of the state senate to ter
pose their votes again submission OF
the constitutional amendment. 1t is
claimed that the brewery interest,
commercially speaking, is the means
OF distributing more actual money in
the city Of St. Louis and the state of
Missouri for wages to its employees and
the employees of allied interests, and
for malt barley and hops raise by
the farmers of that and other states,
than any other single commercial in
terest in that community. 1t is further
claimed that this interest together
with others allied with It, gives en-
ployment TO fully 10000 individuals,
furnishing the means of support and
livelihood to probably 100000 persons
in the city of st. Louis.

A Law that Goes Far.

Cedar Rapids Republican: After
the fourth of July next any boy seen
smoking a cigarette can be arrested.
That is new step in drastic legisla-
ton. Heretofore we have confined
ourselves to the prevention of the sale
of cigarettes. We have dealt with the
man who sold the stuff But under
the new law we are going farther, we
are going to deal with the man who
That in the enforcement of the law
we will meet with difficulties is an
easy prediction. The new law will be
practically uncomfortable. No one
except an officer of the law would
think of making an arrest and there
lookout in every place where boys
congregate The officers can not look
into every barn, every garnet, every
nook and corner A cigarette is easily
dropped when the approach of an Of
+ ficer is noted After a boy has been
4 arrested it will be hard to prove that
B he was actually smoking, after it has
/ been proved that he is not of age.
/ And if boy should be convicted, it
4 is going to be hard to put him in jail.
+ His parents and friends will protest
that he should not be acquainted with
the inside of jail for SO slight an
/ offense
( We are afraid that the new law
shows a disposition to go too far. We
are afraid that it will be dead let
4 ter on the statute books. We are sim
ply adding one more to the laws that
will not be enforced, because it can
not be enforced and We will be null
tiplying the number Of law breakers.
+ BOYS who break this one law may get
the habit and break other laws.
In short, we must doubt the wisdom
4 of regulating personal habits to such
an extent When we have forbidden
the sale of cigarettes, or cigarette pa
pers, the laws, 1t would seem. have
gone as far as they can well go. To
attempt the impossible will result in
multiplying contempt for laws, not
only for this one law, but for other
laws.

The possibility of operating all
classes of steam railway service by
electricity has been demonstrated be
yond question, declares Prof. j. H.
Whitehead in Popular Science.
Heavier trains may BE- hauled at high
er speeds and with greater comfort
to passengers, and electric locomotives
may be built which surpass in power
any steam locomotive which may be
constructed. Two of the most i'm

York City are now operated entirely
by electricity for distances between
twenty and thirty miles from Grand

number of farmers in the yicin-
ity of Sturgeon. Mo. have gone about
an important matter in the right way.
They have organized a Brotherhood
of Road Draggersp and assumed the
obligation Of keeping certain stretch
of road in good condition for one year.
A number of those who attended the
meeting, as an object lesson in the
utility of the road drag, attached drags
to their wagons and smoothed the
highways on their way to town, and
on the return trip One man brought
butter and eggs to market in an auto
mobile with road drag attached and
demonstrated that ne could do his
part of the program without extra eff
fort and while engaged in his other
work The Sturgeon plan might be
tried in other communities without
much trouble or expense

Although widely known in Europe.
the publication Of water by ozone has
made little headway in this country
on account of the cost of operation.

produced by the action of high ten

New Kind Of "Proaresslve.y

Sioux City Journal: n. B. Thomp-
son, an enterprising citizen of Des
Moines, aged eighty-two. nine months
ago was divorced from his wife, aged
seventy Feeling the need Of personal
care, he has just taken another wife
whose age is fifty. Without other in
formation on the subject it seems safe
to estimate Mr. Thompson as a pro

Hikinu.

Hiking.
Oh, Castro went to Paris and he also
tried Berlin.
They gave him but the coolest nod,
and neither said Come in"
Though he brought lots of bullion,
too, with which to pay his way,
The coppers watched so closely that
he never could get gay;
But everywhere he ventured people
treated him alike;
The burden Of their message was:
"Oh, Castro, take hike"
He thought of Venezuela, and he said,
No place beats home;
I'll hasten there by steamer, for it
costs too much to roam
But Gomez wouldn't let him, so he
struck for Trinidad,
Which seemed the one and only
chance for landing that he had;
But at a nearer port he reached there
galloped down the pike
A courier, calling out aloud: Skip
Trinidad and hike.
Oh, Castro, he was angry, and hi talk
was something fierce;
He pinned to grasp shining sword, his
enemies to pierce,
I'D like to know" he Numbered. "if
they think that l can fly.
III summon all my cohorts; we'll
knock Uncle Sam to pi!"
But Uncle Sam and Johnny Bull said
Castro, take hike
An airship, auto or walk, but anyhow
you hike."

A New York judge has given notice
that promiscuous shooting of husbands
must stop. In binding over a woman
VINO was disarmed while attempting
to murder the partner of her joys and
sorrows he said-and not moment
too soon:
This promiscuous shooting of hus-
bands must stop. There is too much
of reliance placed upon the unwritten
law. 1t won't go in this court.
The husband should be protected
just as any game. Fish, birds and
deer are all given certain seasons of
tie year in which to mind their own
business without being shot at and
peppered with bullets.
Now declare the season on hus
bands closed"
Irate wives with murder in thei
hearts would do well to take notice
and govern themselves accordingly.
