A Municipal Smoke Consumer.

one of the Santa Barbara papers
prints a commendatory article regard
ing the recent action of the council
Of that city which has adopted a res
olution forbidding smoking in the
council chamber while the body is in
session. 1t has been called to the at
tention of The Republican that it
might be a good thing if similar
ordinance were adopted i'm Phoenix.
II is pointed out that while smoking
is said by some authorities To be con-
ducive to thought it has never been
claimed that it helps the mental ma
chinery of the other fellow. If it
helps anybody at all it helps the fell
low who does the smoking; the men
who get the smoke second hand can
hardly De said to derive any benefit.
There may be good deal of merit
i'm this suggestion The city council
is delibcrative body and is supposed
To- be a dignified body. 1t is hardly
a club, ana altogether there may be
a good many who attend the meetings
of the council to whom tobacco smoke
is offensive Anyway. cigars as a
first aid To municipal legislation are
not Indispensable. and there is a
strong probability that the usual prac-
tice Of our councilmanic body could
be dispensed with and nobody be the
worse for the innovation.
The council might think about it,
anyway 1t might consider whether
it is not worth while To pass resolu-
ton similar To that in effect in Santa
Barbara. And if it does, and if ii
then finds that the wheels of thought
VIII not revolve without the aid of
nicotine. il will be the easiest thing
in the world to repeal the resolution
SO that everybody who 50 desires
may light up as preliminary to each
sessions work.
