The butt and end Of a cigarette is
the segregated district of city. To-
bacco, as much as any other form of
narcotics, works upon the habitual
user until 1t deprives him or his func-
tons, weakens his self control, mars
and deforms his intellect and makes
him unfit to be the husband of a good
woman or the father of well devel-
oped, healthy child.
These were some Of the things that
DR.. Lyman b. Sperry, the noted lee
turer, said about users of the weed tc
200 men at the Young Mems Christian
association last night. In a frank and
concise way, he exposed the relations
of the drug to the development of
the nervous system, to the workings
of the mind. to the decentralization of
the moral functions, and to the later
family relationship. He claimed that
a large percentage of divorces in this
country were brought about because
of the nervous condition of the man
because of his continued and incessant
use of the weed
Dr. Sperry classed tobacco in the
same category with cocaine, morphine,
laudanum, hemp and other drugs that
deaden the senses, stimulate for a
while. and give the soothing effect
that the user desires. He said that
tobacco was a drug, that its effects
were narcotic.
Nothing is true because it is tradi-
tional,' said DR.. Sperry. Nothing is
right because 1t is customary. Be
cause the social evil exists for in
stance, is no reason that it ought to
exist The ambition Of the boy of the
present day is not to be a well de-
veloped, full Pledged gentleman, but to
be as good as the average man. He
aims no higher, he reaches no higher
point.
Dope, in the sense that I shall use
it tonight, is not the way that it is
used in newspaper offices. 1t does not
mean copy nor anything else that
goes into the newspaper of today. 1t
means a poison, a narcotic, drug.
There are various forms of it and they
have their different and specific eff
fects upon the senses of the user but
they have the same general effect and
produce the same general results II

drugs are more conspicuous and

NAGE[ MAY GO To
SUPREME COURT
Vacancy May Be Filled BY
Appointment Of Cabinet
Member

Washington. Feb. s-The existing
vacancy on the supreme court bench
tn fifth that has occurred in the
present administration. probably will
be filled by the appointment of Sec
retary Of Commerce and Labor
Charles Nagel of st. Louis.
President Taft is expected to send
the nomination of Mr. Nagel 70 the
senate within few days. United
States Judge William G. Hook OF
Kansas. who until last night was most
prominently mentioned for the va
cancy. is said to have been elinlinat-
ed from further consideration at an
hours session of the cabinet today.
ALI of the lawyers in the cabinet, ex-
cept Mr.. Nagel were present and aft
erward it was learned that the presi-
dent had made clear his intention Of
appointing his secretary of commerce
and labor.
This report was so generally cred
tied today that rumor was busy with
a possible successor to Mr.. Nagel in
the cabinet. Louis Marshall Of New
York and Oscar Rosenwald of Chi
cago were mentioned among those
who would be considered by Pres.
dent Taft.
Judge Hooks name was scratched
from the presidents list today almost
at the eleventh hour. This action
was said to be due to his concur
renee in Jim Grow" law decision
in an Oklahoma railroad case. Both
the president and Attorney General
Wickersham are understood to have
held the opinion that Judge Hook
went too far" in this case and Sec
retary OF State Knox. Secretary Of
War Stimson and Secretary Of Inter-
Tor Fisher. the other lawyers presen.
at the cabinet meeting. evidently
agreed.
Secretary Nagel had been mem
toned among those whom the presi-
dent was considering for the supreme
court place ever since Justice Har.
lan's death last fall. Attorney Gen.
eral Wickersham and Postmaster
General Hitchcock are both known
strongly to have urged his appoint
ment Mr.. Taft's only objection to
the appointment has heen the fact
that Mr.. Nagel is 6s years old and
although a lawyer OF wide practice,
has had no judicial experience.

this direction. In return for the ques-

great statesman Taft did not hesitate
to offer up the farmers of this country
on the altar of his ambition. The
democr tic house and its leaders are
as hostile to our interests as the Taft
