ed upon this week to do is tina. ~
naming man to take care of tn.
Fairgrounds OF the city.
For several years the children q,
Richmond have been given much Mt.
tention. Fairgrounds and recreation
places have been prepared for them.
and they have profited much.
Commissioner Hirschberg has bean
active in this work. He has as =
member of the administrative board
devoted much Of his time TO the pro-
motion of what may prove profitable
to the coming generations He hasI
taken special interest In the PLAY
ground problem, and has done much
perfecting the system
During the week some time tha
board will name successor to Mr..
Jones. who did so well in the posi-
ton OF superintendent OF the play-
grounds. He retired in order to taks
up his school work.
In naming his successor, the board
feels that a mar who has some ex.
perience with children, who know.
their wishes and their ways, should
be given the place Of training up the
miscellaneous crowd of children
which go a long way toward making
up the population OF Richmond. There
are a number OF applicants for the
position.

With the State Press
That Crusade vs.. Tobacco.

Just now the newspapers that oppose State
wide prohibition are sending thrills down the
backs of lovers of tobacco by telling them that
those who favor just a little broader applica-
ton Of that overworked phrase, local option"
are soon to wage vigorous TO prohibit
ne use Of the weed. Some OF our sane conten-
peraries have allowed themselves 10 grow des-
pondent over this latest attempt to throttle the
fights Of the free horn Virgnan. The Gazette
has the pleasure of the acquaintance and
friendship Of number of these members of the
fourth estate. and cannot help but think
that they are joking. If il is not a joke then
their chdike simplicity is amazing II these
edltors were simple easy going countrymen like
the writer. would be inclined to attribute
their fright to baokwoods environments
We note that some OF contemporaries
printed freak bill offered in the Louisiana
}egI8latu re to suppress the use OF tobacco About
he time these contemporaries printed the shock
ing Louisiana anti-tohacco bin. along came the
whsiSey league with thousands Of circular fac
SMILES of the newspaper articles. The same
hing was printed advertisements in this and
hundreds of other papers to put the lovers of
I ne we~d on their guard. Wonderful coincidence
was this
For twenty years the people OF Virginia have
FRED To have laws enacted against the use Of
tobacco in the form OF cigarettes All sorts of
bilIs have been introduced and a few passed
IN an attempt to regulate the ~afe Of cigarettes
IN an attempt 70 regulate the sale Of cigarettes
to children under sixteen years Of ago But
never before IN our quarter or century OF
newspaper work has the Gazette heard these
same contemporaries fighting the cigarette or
any other anti-tobacco laws
Ihe Gazette has many readers who hit the
pipe" We would reassure them hhst their
rastttme is in no Immediate danger from those
who are striving to wipe out the open saloon
