Anf.T0bQccO LQW Void

The supreme court of Illinois has held invalid the
city ordinance Of Zion City %forbiddiag the use OF
tobacco in any form within the sacred precincts CT
that municipality. 4 provision Of the long leases
under which property is held i'll the city of Dowie-
ism interdicted tobacco, along with pork and oysters.
Only one kind of worship was to be permitted. But
after the financial calamities threw some of lions
industries into the hands of outsiders various work
men disregarded ordinances and admonitions. Meet
ings were held by Dowies successor to pray over the
unregenerate smokers. When prayers were ineffect-
ual physical force was employed and many people
were injured in the clashes. The religious monopoly
was dissolved and services are held by various fac
lions and there is even a Methodist church in the
town now.
The anti.tobacco ordinance is upheld by the Dow.
ieites, again In control of municipal affairs, after a
bitter contest. But the decision of the supreme
court gives victory to the Independents on a subject
of vital importance--in-z Zion City. The papers-liave
not given the grounds on which the ordinance was
held void. There must have been some defect in
the manner in which the ordinance was enacted.
Certainly the police powers of a municipality ought
to- extend to tile prohibition of smoking. since they
are ample to regulate TO the point of prohibition
practically everything else. There is precedent for
the antitobacco crusade. Christian ". of Denmark
ordered tobacco users to be whipped and fined. Ono
.of<the >shahs< of Persia had them put to: death. Anu
ratti- Nv. condemned them to be beaten in a mortar.
One of the cars of Russia executed smokers and
cut OH the noses of snufftakers. For a hundred
years, ending In 1774, any person was cxcommunicat-
ed who took tobacco in any form to church. James
J.. wrote a book against the nauseous weed, but as
William s. Walsh, that collector of queer information,
points out. the soldiers of Cromwell took their re-
vense by putting smoke into the face of Charles l.,
who had inherited a disgust for the thing from his
father.
sit is not strange, when the powers of the earth
were unable to stamp out the use of tobacco when
they had unrestricted sway over the conduct of men,
that a community in Illinois could not succeed with
puny ordinances declaring the use of tobacco a mis-
denleanor. Since even this restraint has been lifted
BY the supreme court there will be weeping and wall
ing and crashing Of teeth among loyal Zionites. Not
the least element in their misery will be the ~impudent
Haunting in their faces of pipe and cigar and perhaps
even that exasperating invention of the devil. tic
cigarette, by the wicked independents.

Croker and MurDhu

The discovery that Richard Croker has two voices
need not surprise anybody. Many politicians are So
equipped. AS a matter Of fact, two voices have been
known to help a political leader very much. or
course, he must learn how and when to use them.
Mr.. Croker said in an interview, April Z, 1912: "ln
my opinion, Mr.. Murphy has shown great ability. He
has proved himself a leader of real power"
Note the date. At that time a Murphy man was iii
the mayors chair in Greater New York, another
Muddy man was in the governors chair at Albany,
ano MT: Murphy was preparing to head the New
York delegation to the Democratic national conven-
uon anu vote 1t as he pleased. Was not MI. Croker's
compliment justified? Had not Mr.. Murphy proved
himself . leader of real power? He had certainly
done more as leader of Tammany Hall than Mr..
Croker before him. ~ ~ CHI
In q private letter to an old friend in New York,
written after McCalls defeat for mayor, Mi. Croker
sald: Murphy was a big handicap on Mccall. Tho
nan wall never win under Murphy's management"
Note the date. Mr.. Murphy had lost his latest
oattle. me battles he had won were not forgotten.
me leadership he had shown and been praised for
was forgotten. Kicking the under dog was the occu-
patton OF the hour. Mr.. Croker joined in. He let
ny with the rest, though probably without thought
OF ln)uring Mr.. Murphy with the public. He did not
ask that his letter be published.
Wnat sort OF management would Mr.. Croker rec.
ommend for Tammany?; We all know the sort under
which 1t has achieved its successes in the past twenty
years. The Croker sort was very effective on a NUN.
Der OF occasions. T%ammany did a good deal of bust.
ness while Mr.. Croker showed how; and the organ.
izauon still honors the memory of his performances.
The Murphy sort-as like the Croker sort as can
oe-das been very effective. 1t has made Tammany
Z. state power, has sent one of its members to tho
United States Senate, and is preparing to send hals
q dozen members to the next House, That record
certainly suggests capable management after the
.Tammany fashion.
" course, MI. Croker is not going to be consulted
about changes in Tammany Hall. The Murphyltes

ments they not only became useless members -
society but an added burden upon the rest OF t lnM
people. These people have been and now are lorceu
to go to the white man for a market for the smeasef
productions still permitted them, and they receive
therefore an average OF about Is per cent. OF 'le
amount received from the consumer, while for tue
necessaries Of life which they now must buy OF the
white man, they are forced to pay from four to ten
times the cost Of production. The consequence
natural one-is, they are disappearing from the face
Of the earth through starvation and the ravases OF
those diseases peculiar to mankind whenever he Is
robbed Of that before mentioned heart and courage,
which nature and natures laws have ever decreed
that man must have in order to thrive and prosper.
Those people have certainly been hard hit by "the
disease of nations" Is any man 50 foolish as to
believe that simple education would or could work
q remedy therefor? The same is also true OF the
American Indian, and these arguments might be
carried much further did sound argument so require.
History and fact plainly tells us that the Ameri-
can farmer Of today. .is$ the most able and efficient
farmer that the world has ever known. They also
clearly teach us that in the matter Of education, In
the accepted sense of the term, the average Ameri.
can farmer is not only better equipped than his
~forefatler farmer was at any time from Abel to the
present day, and us well or better educated than
are the men Of other callfngs in his own country;
but lie is as well educated rs the great Napoleon
was when he began his wordconquering career.
Aleut is an EsGuinlo word which means other
people. And strange as it may seem, present con
ditons and tendencies clearly indicate. that the
farmer, upon whose prosperity and c%oltentment
everything in this country and government is SO very
dependent, is rapidly being forced into the position
Of being an sAleut in this, his own country.
How about 1t, worthy citizen? Can you find any
flaw III my arguments, or any error in my state
ment of facts? These are your affairs presented
!. for your consideration and ! am merely sounding
q timely warning by pointing out facts which,
whether, Intentionally or otherwise, have not been
