TIE cIGaREz'7E Ii ~.

Louisiana newspaper editors are de-
ploring the failure Ct their state o en-
force a law which prohibits the sale OF
cigarettes to minors. The law is drastic
one, and provides that anyone selling
or giving away cigarettes or tobacco to
minors shall be heavily fined. Despite
this prohibition, however, many boys,
young men and women IN Louisiana
have acquired the smoking habit, and,
apparently, have 10 difficulty in getting
all the cigarettes or tobacco they desire.
The editor of the Southern Vindicator,
Hammond, La, believes the prohibition
law is bad, for the reason that it has
not been enforced, and now, that an
effort is to be made TO enforce it, It
leaves only two ways open to get their
cigarettes: to buy them from man OF
legal age, or steal them. "You can't
say to boy" says The Vindieator,
Gin a dictatorial manner, Thou shalt
not smoke, and think that he will obey,
especially if he has been smoking two
or three years. But you can talk and
plead with him to give it up, and he
will, in all probability, try to quit.
Some succeed; the majority fail. Ii
more pleading and urging were done,
at home and at school, instead OF using
the imperative, dictatorial, Thou shalt
not there would be less cigarette
smoking, less wayward, vicious boys to
contend with. less need of juvenile
courts and reform schools and less
criminals in the future, IN this state and
in the United States, without resorHng
to the law prohibiting the sale of
cigarettes to minors.

"FE4R NEH.'

4Bradstreet's is authority for the
men who 60 into business for them
selves are successful. It is safe to as
sumo that the proportion of successes
in other fields, art, music, authorship,
politics, social work ct cetera, is as
small. The failures are made so through
FEAR. Fear of consequences, fear
of the future, fear that we cannot
finish successfully what we begin, fear
|of our opponent, unnecessary, illogical
fear stands between us and success,
and with an apparently impossible arm
bars our PROGRESSES. Those whom fear
rules we call "Fear men," because they
are not really men at all, but men re-
quiring classific4.iol-an apology.
There has hardly been time in Ameri-
can history when men were called on
more to overcome their fear than at the
present time. Moral strength is need
ed in politics more than ever before,
and moral strength is as far superior 10
physical strength as the spiritual is
above the natural. 1t is told of Well
ington that, before the battle Of Water
loo, his knees shook so that he laughed
and called attention to them, saying:
eff they knew where | was going to
carry them, they would shake much
worse" That was moral courage over
coming physical fear, and this is the
courage that men must have now it
America is to go onward and upward.
We must have moral courage to over
come the selfish persuasion Of the
politician, who seeks his own advance
ment regardless of the public good.
Courage is needed to overcome the fear
that organizations and societies and
leagues cause by their tactics of force
and threats in their efforts 20 enforce
morality by law. Moral courage is
necessary to make men follow the die
tates of their own conscience, regard
less of the arguments of politicians,
ministers, leagues or individuals. The
time has come for american men to
throw off the fetters of fear~-to come
out boldly for what they believe, to re-
fuse to follow the selfish, money grasp
ing politician or organization and to
stand strongly for progress, liberty,
decency and social liberty,

CHEER Up

These are dark days for the world.
The shadow of the war is heavier than
ever on all hearts, whatever their
sympathies. There is little e2ultation
now even in victories, for We know at
what a price of blood and pain every
victory is won. But there are many
things besides war IN the world. Ex-
capt for our active imaginations, most
of US would feel life running en- pretty
much as usual. There is the same
sunshine, the same life giving air. the
same autumn eelors in the woods, the
same JOY in bountifnl harvests. There
is the same quiet satisfaction OF soul
that has always come with the fall sea-
son, whether in country OF city. Here,
in our American isolation, we can live
out our lives in spite OF wars and
rumors of wars. There is need, to be
sure. of taking thought for the future.
preparing against the time when war
may bring home to US the wretchedness
that we kneg Aalfa a century ago and that
Europe knows toaas bEs that is 9
mater of calm decision, not for alarm
and fear. We are today the most for
