and We expect the smoker to be one
OF the most popular places Of the in
stitution."
As matter OF fact it was a thought
full and generous mind that conceived
the idea that such provision should
be made for the peace and comfort
OF these old women. Let us hope that
the Uplifters of Minnesota win stay
the many-fngered hand Of protest:
let US trust even that the legislature

anyhow? The story or tobacco is an
interesting thing. Up TO a few decades
ago men used snuff, and the practice
was regarded as altogether proper
OF course, smoking, from the time OF
Sir Walter Raleigh, was a practice
which grew in popularity among the
whites as IL had done for many years
among their fOrerunners. the Indians.
Later snuff was tabooed among men.
but women continued its use for q
longer period-in fact the snuff trade
is III one of the most profitable in
dustriees in America; the figures on
snuff consumption in Alabama as well
as other states would no doubt sur
prise many people.
in remote parts Of the average
American state, old women still sling
10 their clay pipes, or their cob pipes
as the case may be. These women
are not in disgrace. Their practice is
amusing. of course, but they may bet
ter afford, from the standpoint of pub
lie opinion, to smoke a pipe than a
cigarette. Either of these old women
would be Mortified at sight of a we'll
dressed young woman of today sitting
under the palms putting a cigarette
and yet, the cigarette for all of its
responsiveness in the mouth Of a wom-
an, is coming more into use among
women. Is it a part of the equal
rights program 1t is an odd fact
that this type of old-fashioned woman
feels less ashamed smoking her clay
pipe in the sitting room of a depot
than would a modern young woman
in smoking a cigarette-indeed the
modern woman is more or less cir
cumspect in her smoking as com
pared with the old lady who sees no
harm in smoking a pipe
Undoubtedly popular sentiment to-
day disapprOves of the use of tobac-
co by women. We seem to see signs
of a slow-moving sentiment against
the Us OF tobacco among men. What
will be the end of it all? VIII the
time come when the use of tobacco
in any form by anybody will be look
ed upon and derided as we now de-
vide the ancient use of snuff by men?

AUTHOR OF CARPET-BAGGER.
Mobile Register.

1t is learned from the Richmond
News-Leader that the Philadelphia
Public Ledger credits the late DR..
Kelway, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle,
with originating the term carpet
baggers" in politics, applying il to the
ravenOus horde OF northern men who
descended upon the south to prey up
on it during the reconstruction days.
The News-Leader says its impress
sion" is that the term was first used
in the old Richmond Enquirer, Cap
tain Parr being the originator. The
Springfield Republican takes the cues
ton up at this point and wags its head
over it, saying, after many wise lucu-
brations. that the question of author
ship will doubtless last as long as
the English language is spoken" Next
enters the Vicksburg Herald. with no
information as 10 the main issue but
an entirely new proposal that the
''preying'' was not done so much by
office-seeking northerners as by Of
ficers and soldiers who were stationed
in the south at the close o. the war:
nine out Of ten being far better ac-
cuainted with knapsacks than carpet
bags"
Before the debate gets out Of hand.
let The Register recite that the author
Of the phrase. the late Colonel Joseph
Hodgson, editor of The Register for
many years. left a record of how the
particular use happened TO suggest
itself. He said he recalled to mind the
amusing spectacle of the entrance into
Washington, after Mr.. LincOln's cleo
ton of troops of hungry politicians,
with empty carpet-bags; and when he
told this story at a conference of
prominent citizens held in the Daily
Mail office in Montgomery, the word
"carpet-bagger was at the colOneps
suggestion adopted as applicable to a
class then infesting the south. After
its appearance in the Mail it was taken
up by the press both north and south.
as designating the adventures. 1t
has since become of more general use,
and has appeared in a London review

British politics.
The term was deliberately sought
for and the conference was held for
the specific purpose. 1t was cOnsid-
cred important at that time for south
erners not 10 antsgonize the national
republican party, for the effort about

TAFT AND SUNDAY.

NBelllnRnt1Hl
There can be no question of the
particular evangelist meant by former
Pres't Taft in his address before the
national Unitarian conference at san
Francisco yesterday. Mr.. Tatts
structures were meant for one William
SUNDAY. styled baseball evangelist"
Notwithstanding that the speaker
made no direct reference to Rev.
Sunday in person.
Mr. Taft considers the evangelist
methods and results as IAN ephemerai
manifestation Of religious excite
ment," and expressed the opinion
that the good accomplished by MS
methods is "neutralized by the detri-
mental attacks ne delivers against
ministers Of all faiths. Nor" he con-
tinued. "can a coarsenesS of speech,
a vulgarity of illustration, shocking
irreverence. be justified as neces-
sary means of reaching the hearts
and fastening the attention or an au-
dience of persons, however untutored
or unrefined."
Contrasting Sundays methods Mr..
Taft obser' ed that the late Dwight
Moody "PIade effective appeal to the
plain people in the language or the
Psalmist and the prophets"
This arraignment Of the baseball
evangelist-though il is to be remem-
bered that Mr.. Taft's delicacy did not
permit him to name the subject of his
criticism-probably comes from a
higher source than any that has yet
been delivered against the Sunday
methods. 1t is clear, however. that
Mr.. Taft desired TO engage in no con-
troversy with Rev. Sunday, for he ad-
mitted that "in mere epithetical as
sault we (meaning the Unitarian
church, have restraints that would
put US at great disadvantage
Billy Sunday undoubtedly is the
foremost evangelist of America today
and he has millions Of friends and
millions ONO. not enemies, but
critics who do not approve Of his
swashbuckling religious methods.

United States has taken milder

will concede snap judgment and snap

SPEEDING AT sPRINGBRooK.

Now they are to have motor races
at Springbrook park; races at night
if YOU please, when everybody. or
nearly everybody can go and watch
the speeders under the glare of the
moon. the searchlight, or whatsoever
shines.
1t is perfectly right and proper that
South Bend should have opportunity
TO see as many new things as possible
at the rejuvenated park. Possibly the
sight of a few speed devils blowing
their way around the race track, too,
will have a salutary effect in other
ways. Let it be hoped that it Will
bring shame TO the faces of those who
would use the city's streets for a
speedway; teach them how insignii-
cant and silly they are. and have the
effect OF reducing the public dangers
from violations Of the speed limit
We are entertaining hopes that il
will be no detriment to the race track
TO hold these automobile races. Some
seem 10 be OF the opinion that il will
be. but we assume that the associa-
ton management has looked into that
matter and satisfied itself that no
harm will be done-to the track
before making their announcement. 1t
Will DE an interesting event and really
new TO a great many people. and here
is hoping that il will prove a success
