THE TOBACCO HABIT

It is conceded that the cigarette habit is one of the most Gf not the very most pernicious lnt1u- ences over the lives and habits of young boys, and in many large cities this is recognized by efforts to suppress the use of tobacco in this form, at least. But there are other evils which need atten- ton, along with it. In this con- nection, It is well to call the attention to the fact that many of the most prominent weeklies and monthly publications are ex- erting a very damaging influence on the efforts of this reform, not only by carrying large, f1aring advertisements of tobacco, pipes, and other smoking and chewing goods, but the literature, espec- ially the stories, are full of praise of the habit, referring to it as one of the commonest. Few sto- ries do not contain reference to the smoking habits of the he- roes and often the heroines, as if the habit was one to be en- couraged, as being one really at- tractive. The hero is always smoking a pipe or cigar, or ciga ret, whether in the presence of wife. or other women, sweet heart, or children, and the wom- en are usually looking after the tobacco things" ;" seeing that they are at hand when the man wants them and that is about every minute of the day. We hardly see an illustration that does not contain, if there is a man in it. the cigar or pipe as a part of the man. Not all women can bear the smell of tobacco in any form; but they are warned that the husband, brother, lover or father, must not be denied the privilege of smoking, or will he betake himself to congenial re- gions where he indulge in the habit to his hearts content. In crowded street cars women are often compelled to occupy the back seats or stand; yet men are allowed to puff there smoke in peace in these back seats. often times almost strangling the girl or woman who has an idiosyncra- cy against the smell of tobacco. It IS a filthy habit. doing no good to any one, but working ruin to nervous boy or man, sooner or later. A vigorous effort should be made to work reform in this line.

GEORGIA HAS
Faction FIGHT
SENATE VOTES DOWN SHAW
RESOLUTION PROVIDING PRIM-
AIRY FOR SELECTION OF sENA-
ToR-SMITH AND ANTI-SMITH
FACTIONS.
BY Associated Press.

Atlanta, July 7.-Complications have
been injected into the Georgia sena-
torial fight during the past two days
by charges being made that the action
of the Democratic state executive
committee in declining to order a sena-
torial primary may cause a possible
failure in the national congress of d.
rect elections amendments. The sena-
torial situation has resolved itself
practically into Hoke Smith and anti
Smith camps, with latest development
infused by the latter element.
Smiths friends, it is said, regard 1t
as a move to create false sentiment,
and point to the fact that direct cleo
tions amendment is being jeopardized
through the Bristow amendment.
State Senator Shaw's resolution af-
fecting the election of United States
senators was thoroughly squelched
this morning when the senate by a
vote Of 35 to moved to lay it on the
table. This action is taken to mean
that the members of the upper branch
of the legislature propose to go ahead
with the election of a senator in the
good old-fashioned way. The Shew
resolution provided that all senatorial
candidates pledge themselves to re-
sign in the spring If elected and place
their candidacy in the hands of the
voters at primary to be held then.

A NEW TRIAL
IS PROCURED
GOVERNMENT BUREAU OF MINES
BELIEVES 1T HAS DEVELOPED
AFUEL SUPPLY IN RRIoUETTEs
OF LIGNITE-BE OF IMMENSE
VALUE TO THE WEST.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, July I'm briquettes
of Ignite, the government bureau OF
mines believes it has developed a fuel
supply that will be Of immense value
to the west where high grade coal
can be obtained only at excessive cost.
A powerful machine brought from
Germany has solved the difficulty
which heretofore has limited the
manufactures of briquettes.
Ignite is a form of brown -colored
coal found in great abundance in
North and South Dakota, Montana,
Texas and other western states. Its
tendency to slack soon after being
mined makes it troublesome to trans
port, and 1t does not burn readily on
account of the presence of between 80
and 40 per cent moisture. The bureau
of mines conducted the experiments
at Williston, N. D., and developed a
furnace that will burn Ignite satisfac-
torily. Now that the experiments have
gone far enough to indicate that
briquettes can be made successfully,
the bar to transportation of Ignite
seems to have been removed.
Charles E. Wright, Of the board
estimates the cost of briquettes loaded
at the mines at 1881 a ton in Texas,
1888 in North Dakota and 1925 in
California.

SEEKING FOR
LOCATION FOR
TRIAL FLIGHT
AVIATOR NASSR FINDS THAT
GROUNDS ON WHICH MACHINE
is NOW LOCATED ARE NOT EN-
TIRELY SATISFACTORY ON Ac-
COUNT OF SOIL BEING TOO
SOFT TO MAKE GOOD START.

Recent experiments having shown
that the grounds on which his machine
are at present located are unsatisfac-
tory, A. II. Nassr, the aviator, to-
gether with sorle prominent citizens of
the city who have interested them
selves in the progress OF his aeroplane,
will attempt within the next few days
to find a mere suitable location from
which he Will try TO make his initial
flight
Mr.. Nassr stated to a Journal re-
porter yesterday that he had found
that the ground where he is now 10
Gated was entirely too soft for the
satisfactory operation CT his machine.
OF course. in making a fight the start
has to be made from the ground and
the machine has to be started to run
ming on wheels on the ground. Before
leaving the ground the machine should
attain a speed of between fifty and
seventy FIVE miles per hour, and Mr..
Nassr finds that on the soft ground
where his machine is now located he
cannot attain a speed Of more than
twelve to fifteen miles per hour. After
the machine is thoroughly tested, the
matter Of a location will not he so ma
terial as at present. but when the first
fight is rather Of the nature Of an ex-
pertinent, it is essential that every
thing should be just right
Mr. Nassr thinks that a suitable
place can be selected snd that a trial
flight will be made within the next
few days.

CHARGED WITH
ASSAULT ON
4TH OF JULY
AS RESULT OF CAREFUL INVEsTI-
CATION, FOUR NEGROES WERE
ARRESTED YESTERDAY ON Ac-
COUNT OF TROUBLE AT MORO
CASTLE PARK AT INDEPEND-
ENcE DAY PICNIC.

AS the result of an investigation
which has been carried on by Chief
Sanders and the police department ever
since the item of the trouble, Arthur
Candy, negro, was arrested early yes
terday morning by Officer Graham, and
Richard Steen, Raymond Thompson
and Jim Cook. also colored, were later
arrested by Chief Sanders and Detec-
ttves Schmitz and Ray, all of them
being charged with assaulting Ed Lee
colored, on the fourth of July. Lee
was dangerously cut, besides being
beat up with bottles and other weapons
and is now in serious condition at his
home, 312 East Belmont street. Arthur
Candy is charged with cutting him,
while the others are charged with
otherwise assaulting him.
The trouble occurred at fourth of
July picnic at Moro Castle park. Lee
claims that the trouble began on a
street car Just before the park was
reached when some of the negroes who
are now in the city Jail began cursing
in the presence of his wife and he
called them down about 1t. He claims
that they attacked him just as he got
off the car and that he ran inside the
gate for protection, but that they pur-
sued him and beat him UP, and that
Candy cut him in the neck.
The trial of the case will probably
be continued until Ed Lee is able to
appear in court.
