CIVILIZED SMOKING


Thirty-one car loads of tobacco went
through Ottawa on a special train yes
terday bound for Frisco and thence
billed to China Thus is the new re-
public taking its first step toward
civilization that it has promised the
rest of the world to undertake.: the
step from opium to tobacco; from the
heathen indulgence to the civilized
manner Of pastime; from a sleepinz
smoke to waking one. There is. Of
course no particular reason why China
should consume tobacco. But If IL win
keep that country from smoking '4dope''
then 1t VIII be at least one step nearer
civilization It has never been clear
why men should crave the habits that
DO them no more good than to keen
their minds and their mouths occupied
for the time being. But the habit-
nave grown remarkably ana If tbsv
must have habits it is better 10 have
the tobacco habit than the hon habit

TO DISAGREE WITH T. r Is Fatal
We discover by means of a letter
published on the editorial page of tbe
Topeka Capital that Justice Burch. of
the supreme court is not to be renom-
mated because he had the temerity 10
differ with Col. Roosevelt on the mes
ton of the recall of judicial decisions.
so FAR as we have heard there has
been no complaint that Judge Burch's
decisions are lacking in fairness or
learning. But he doesn't believe that
a judge should sit on the bench with
rope around his neck and a mob
holding the other end, and Roosevelt
does; therefore, heraus NIT 'iml And
that is as it should be. For the first
time in more than hundred years
we have found a man worthy to be
three times president, and why not
recall every other man who differs
with him on any question ?-Iola Regis

count Of an attempted murder which emphasizes the
need and equity of county option. Benus driver of

up on Pecatonica booze. Returning to his boarding

city prison for los days.
