Wants Tax off Leaf Tobacco.

Tn discussing the tax on leaf tobac-
co and the efforts to have it removed
in the pending Tariff bill, Secretary
Franklin Weems, of Maryland
Tobacco Growers Association, said:
This association has requested Sena-
tors Rayner and Smith to endeaVor t.
have the present tax of cents pounG
taken off all tobacco in the natural Leaf
40 that leaf tobacco, like corn or po-
tatoes. may be sold untaxed TO comsum-
ora who nrefer the natural leaf to the
manufactured article.
Both Senators have said the pro-
oosition is of much interest to them
and Senator Smith has sug-
gested that the tobacco growers OF
MARYLAND Unite with those of other
States in order to obtain concert in
action and perhaps effective result"
This has now been done. Representa-
tive A. O. Stanley, of Kentucky, calls,
upon our Maryland growers to join
aa2ds with those of other States to have
th,s unjust tax repealed. To that end,
.heref IRE. our Senators are requested
t, let us know how they stand on this
proposition, and it possible to voice
their opinions GA the floor of the
Senate when the matter comes MP.
The Stanley amendment was by
unanimous consent made part OF the
Psvne bill lately passed by the House
of Representatives, but it has been
stricken out Ia the Senate
Our Maryland growers should bear
in mind that our tobacco is used mostly
for pc smoking and the manufacture
of snuff. As the rust controls 70 per

Another Broken Spine.

Saturday furnished another tragic arsu-
ment for the reform Of the foot ball
rules. Joseph Pickering, aged seventeen,
suffered a fracture of the spine in the
course of a game between Cazenovia

at Hamilton. y. Y. An operation was
later performed with the possible result
Of the recovery of the boy In a state of
partial paralysis for life.
1t may be expected that every Saturday
until the end of the season will supply
similar demonstrations. The question
today before the people of this country.
the fathers and mothers as well as the
heads OF educational establishments, is
whether anything IL gained toward the
evolution OF American youth physically or
mentally by these frequent sacrifices.
Every game of foot ball played under
the present rules menaces the life OF
every participant. There is no certainty
OF immunity. Under the rules today the
strongest and most skillful player may
at any time be thrown in a tackle or In
a mass play in such a manner as TO cost
him his life or at least to injure him
severely. possibly 10 his permanent dis

permit the resumption of the sport with
out threatening the Disagreement or death

The 1910 Aero Meet and Funds.

Soon after the first suggestion of Wash
ington as an appropriate place for the
international aviation meet of 1910 the
hope was expressed in behalf of the capt.
tai that the enterprise would not be put
on the basis Of financial competition. but
that the most appropriate city would he
chosen for this purpose regardless of its
ability to raise funds II was then
pointed out In behalf of the National
Capital. that for obvious reasons the first
tors should occur at the seat of govern
ment. where the initial American tests
were held. II is believed that at the next
meet the hcavier-thar-air machines will
be proved to have been brought to the
stage of practical utility. and it is highly
desirable. from the historical point of
view. that this demonstration should be
known hereafter as the Washington meet.
But already there is evidence that the
1910 meet may be put up at auction. 10
be awarded to the highest bidder. Mr..
Cortlandt Field Bishop. president of the
Aero Club of America, was quoted in
dispatch printed in yesterdays Star as
saying that the city obtaining the event
must guarantee at least 100000 for
prizes and expenses. and he expects that
the successful city will offer S2O0,UO.
This is no less than an Invitation to the
cities which are DESTROYS of entertaining
the aviators of the world next year to
hustle for funds. On competitive basis
II is probable that even Mr.. Bishops
highest figure will be easily overtopped
by the larger cities, such as New York,
Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago.
The men who are conducting the chief
experiments in aviation will not require
rich array of prizes to bring them to
America for the 1910 meet. OF course
there must be a sufficient offering of re-
wards to enable those who are taking the
professional view of their pursuit to I'M
dertake the journey with fair show of
compensation. But probably if every
competitor were in advance guaranteed
his expenses, regardless of prizes. there
would be a large representative gather
ing of cir pilots. The honors awaiting
them in America incidental TO their dem
onstration of skill would amply repay
them for their sacrifice Of time.
The proper method OF arranging the
1910 meet will be to ascertain the amount
that will surely be required to finance 1t
In such a manner as to insure the at
tendance OF the leading aviatofs of the
world. This sum being fixed In advance,
the Aero Club of America. as the organiza-
ton In charge, should search the country
for the most suitable place. viewed
physically and historically. On that
basis practically every city in the United
States would have a chance financially.
Washington could easily raise the amount
that is reasonably necessary for such an
occasion. 1t could not. however. hope to
succeed in a financial competition with
New York, Chicago, Boston or Phila-
de1phia.
