gone step farther and refused all recog-
milton fashioned from gold and conferred
by royalty and had found all recompense
in the grateful hearts of the people
whom she succored.
To a native born American, no royal
recognition for services done in human
ity's name can add one jot or little, and
while we are proud of Mrs. James W..
Gerard, wife of the American ambassa-
dor, the medals. the Kaiser and the whole
ceremony does not add to or detract from
our admiration.
We feel that she has done just what
we would have expected any true Amer
lean woman to do under the circum-
stances, in relieving suffering near at
hand.

From Another Point of VielO

Lew Dockstader in his T. R. imperson-
alton. deplores the fact that the automo-
bile is driving us all to the poor house,
the road house and the bug house.
In Detroit, he might add, to the cold
narrow house.
But never to the prison house.
It is easier to hold banquet than a
law-breaker.
We learn from the Paris divorce bulle-
tins that Eugene Plumon no longer cares
to hold Maggie Teyte.
Always calm and self-contained, that
T. r.! He's letting the country know
now just what he's going to DO TO wilson
in January magazine.
Seems as if he might have waited until
after the ceremony.
That New York hotel that reports two
more suicides must be a great place 10
stop.
Frederick Palmer, war correspondent,
comes back to tell us we ought to have
one of the nice little armies and navies
they are using over there.
Mr.. Wilson would like to hear from
any Republican who is disposed to be a
defender of his defense ideas.
Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman review
ed the Wilson administration at Milwau-
kee Thursday night.
Senator Sherman has been mentioned
for the Republican nomination for presi-
dent.
Altogether now, in unison: Did the
senator approve or disapprove OF the Will
son administration?
"Mr. Roosevelt has been brought into
the New York, New Haven & Hartford
trial" AS an authority on smash-ups!

WAR ON THE CIGARETTE
Nv William A. McKeever, Professor and Head Of
Department Of Child Welfare In the
University Of Kansas

Ont here In Kansas, where every state officer
Is a total abstainer from alcohol, where practical
ly all county and city officers are in the same
class. where the liquor traffic is confined to a
few transient toughs and their local consorts.
where prohibition Is well established an in
stitution as the Church-out here in Kansas we
are becoming convinced that the fight on John
BarIeycorn must lead ultimately TO conflict
with the duke Of Nicotine. One Of the biggest
and most craven trusts ever organized in Amer
lea is now carrying on a countrywide campaign
to enthrall the American boy in the habit OF ciga
rette-smoking.
NV correspondence comes from all parts OF
the United States. Also. during the course OF
my lecture trips. visit practically every state
In the Union. All this brings me unmistakable
evidence that cgarette-smoking is increasing
aarmingly among growing youths and the young
er men. or several points We may be certain:
That the boys and youths who take up the use
Of tobacco will. as a rule. smoke and inhale ciga
rettes that these will thus take a positive step
toward the use of alcohol, toward sexual per
yersi on and tendency to be sterile, sexually;
that ninety per cent Of these youths, when they
become men. will be either Indifferent or OPP
posed to US in our night against alcohol.
Big standard magazines which five years ago
would nave been offended at the suggestion OF
their accepting cigarette advertisements are now
receiving thousands OF dollars per issue for such
patronage They give as an excuse the state
ment that they need the money. Even THE Out
look, dear old Or. Abbotts magazine, has gone
over TO the enemy Of the boy and his perplexed
mother--for the sake Of the profits.
We are trying desperately here in Kansas 10

Of the towns and communities have thus far kept

my words: a successful fight against alcohol
must mean. later. desperate battle
against the cigarette-the greatest evil that ever
attacked the heart OF the American boy.

THE HAZARD OF BUSINESS.

We. often hear that s5 per cent of
the men who engage in business fall
by the wayside, leaving only 5 per cent
to succeed. These are estimates made
by the great credit rating agencies
which compile statistics as to business
failures. But we have not been aware
OF the great business mortality which
exists among corporations.
The report of the commissioner Of
internal revenue for 1913 shows that
out of SD, s0e corporations in the Unit
ed states only 1886 reported any
taxa Bile income, thus leaving 1908
corporations without taxable income
for 1913. Nearly one half made no
profits at all or actually lost money.
Il also appears from the report that
the average net income of the corpor-
atoms of the country was only 4.3 per
cent upon capital stock. bonded and
other Indebtedness. This news should
be carefully digested by the average
preacher who struggles with hazard
Gus corporate stocks il vain effort
TO make his meager savings yield
more than Per cent. Some corpora
ton investments pay big but all in all
business is still q gamble.
Even the shrewdest of business men
do not always win as for example some
OF the securities turned over 10 the
foundation are said 10 have
proved worthless.

FAVORABLE TO COSSON.
Nevada Representattye.1

Attorney-General George Cosson has
followed Senator Allen in announcing
his candidacy for the republican nomi-
nation for governor. The announce
ment is about what would naturally be
expected of Mr.. Cosson. He is out
spoken for good morals, law enforce
ment good roads, the maintenance Of
the state institutions and generally for
those things which are Of the most
moment next to the people themselves,
in the development and prosperity Of
the state. Mr.. Cosson is a man in
stinctively on the right side Of things,
and in their support he is both able
and Industrious. A man Of that type
is not universally popular. but II he
shall be nominated he will be elected.
and if he shall be elected he will be a
governor that the state will be proud
of. In the general debate that has
been going on some OF the very numer-
GUS friends Of Mr.. Cosson have mani
tested more or less Of feeling that
in some way Senator Allen by becom-
ing a candidate was trespassing on Mr..
Cosson's preserves. Such feeling Mr..
Cosson is at some pains to disavow,
and he indicates that II the majority
Of the people want him for governor
they will probably be able to find him.
regardless Of how many candidates
there may be for the nomination. We
think that under the existing circum-
stances some such intin,Ation was
called for from Mr.. Cosson, and its
frank expression may have the effect of
smoothing some differences which,
while they in no wise involved the
merit Of the contest for governor, were
liable to have some influence upon It's
