Non-Smokers
Protective
League.

According to recent information
d Government Chemist, by name
OF DR.. Harvey w. Riley is one of
the incorporators in movement
to prevent smoking in public
places in New York.
The DR.. claims protection under
the constitution to have an abun-
dance of pure fresh air to breath
and holds that;
The right of every person to
breath fresh and pure air, uncon-
taminated by unhealthful and
disagreeable oudors and fumes is
a natural right and one of the
inalienable rights guaranteed by
the Declaration of independence
and the Constitution.
Tobacco smoking in public and
seml-public places is direct and
posivite invasion of this right !;
it is dangerous to public health
and comfort, offensive and annoy
ing to individuals and an intoler-
able evil in ITSELF
Mr.. Riley makes further COM
ment on the poisonous constlt-
uents in tobacco and the evil
effects of its use, and presents
what seems to us a clear case OF
the infringement of ones rights
by those who either willfully or
or thoughtlessly poisens the air
for all who surround him by the
fumes of tobacco
We have no desire to say what
men shall use or not use so far as
their rights extend but we concur
with the DR.. in saying that the
fresh air is polluted by the use of
this weed, and that we further
desire to see it's use curtailed for
the greater benefit TO be desired
by those who will cease it's use.
Every day we can see men who
otherwise are examples of hon
esty, and ability destroying their
usefulness and strength by the
constant use of tobacco.
If the practice of using hotels
particularly as a smoke stack
would cease 1T would afford much
more pleasure to those for whom
this gentleman already have great
respect, and they themselves. if
they really get any pleasure out
OF smoking, could secure it by
going into the open air where the
fumes would not become so dense
that the brain of those unaccust-
omedl to such practices becomes
dull and clouded.
This is a good question for u.s.
ers of the weed to consider before
Government Chemists may bring
this important matter to the att
entlon of law makers for action.

age OF 9 per cent is being paid by
Farmers to secure money for dew
elopment work on their lands.
The movement by the Board to

The West has been paving large
revenues to Eastern Capitalists
in lnterect alone for many wears,
and we may have todoconsider-
able OF it in the future, but when
we have money of our own to use
we should keep it here and get as
much more as possible in the
West, for development and other
revenue purposes and thereby
support ourselves as rapidly as
consistent with our conditions.

warranted the full sentence of 80
years, but the court regarded the

the courts mercy that the sentence
be cut in two. The court replied that
it would reduce the sentence to 10
years at hard labor in the State PEN

a little over eight years. The court

Cox and Tom Groom, charging them
with an assault on Police Officer, A.

Officer Cox was arrested this morn

ance at trial Monday, Sheriff S. P.
Cowan becoming security, but Officer
Groom had not been arrested UP to
tonight.
Two very different versions of the
affair are given, but whatever may be
the facts in the case, Officer Newton
was pretty roughly used in the melee
and as a result his mouth was so
badly swollen that he could not tell
the story of the affair and it was re-

1t is claimed that Officer Cox struck
Policeman Newton on one side of the
mouth and blow en~the other side
was dealt by Groom.
