MT. Cabe1I's last report contains some in- teresting statistics, and shows that cit izens of the United States are now drinking more whiskey, chaw1ng more plug and f1ne-cut and smoking more cigars and cigarettes than at any previous period in the history of the country The period covered is from July to February, and during that time the people of the United States assirnilated 94,0Oo, ,0oO gallons of whiskey, smoked 4,500,0 cigars and s.50O, 900, 900 cigarettes, and used l25O,- GOO 900 pounds of chewing and smok- ing tobacco. All of these figures mark an advance over the ecorresponding pc riod a year ago, and establish high record. Beer consumption, which de- creased for a time. again shows an tn- crease.
 MT. Cabell comes from one of the oldest of Virginia families, and, all though an enthusiastic southerner, is a jealous Republican After gradu- ating from Roanoke College, Prince ion. the University of Virginia and Richmond College he decided that he had sufficient education to go out and face the cruel world, and began the practice of law.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The first English suffragette was probably Elizabeth MalIet founder of the London Daily Courant, the first number of which was isued z11 years ago today. This was the worlds first real daily newspaper Before Eliza beth's venture a daily market report had been issued for short time is Germany, and a daily royal bulletin had been posted on the walls of the palace in China, but neither of these could properly be called newspapers. Perusal of early copies Of the pioneer newspaper the property of the Brit ish Museum, has recently revealed the fact that Elizabeth Ma1let was a staunch advocate of ssworaan's rights The fact that it was a worfl- on who issued the first daily journal has been. as an argument by the suf- fragettes of today. The London Cour-l ant had neither advertisements nor editorials As to the latter, the edi- tor wrote: The editor will not take it upon herself to give any comments or c0njectors of her own, but will relate only matters Of facts, suppos- ing other people to have sense enough to make reflections for themselves , Her masculine successors entertained no such suppositfon, and for a cen tury after the hunblest London re- porter could not write a news story without expressing few personal opinions.

 mand for the adoption of the name of Fisher in honor of the present prime

He became commonwealth minister for trade and customs in 1904, and soon assumed the leadership in the federal parlia- mentary labor party.z He became prime minister in 1908. His party was overthrown in the following year, but returned to power in 1910, when MT. Fisher again assumed the helm as premier.
 Premier Fisher has been prominent in the movement for making Austra- Has new capital a city of beauty and a joy forever. The foremost archi-i tects4of the comm onweaIth have been engaged to lay out the city and plan the government buildings
