LAW MAY Be REVISED

From Reliable Sources At

There is a possibility, II not q prob

cd down by the last legislature, will
come before the people Of the state
next year as referendum PROPOSE
ton.
II 1t does-and there are some now
considering taking this step--it will
be In an endeavor to meet a condition
which the legislature apparently did
not recognize as existing when the
Peterson bill was voted down.
The present state law is an abso
lutte prohibition against the sale Of
cigarets. Yet at this time in the state
cigarets are being sold freely. Bust.
ness has picked up in this regard 800
per cent in the past year and over
1000 per cent in the past two and q
half years, according to dealers, who
ought to know what they are talking
about.
For instance. in Lincoln-almost di.
rectly under the noses Of the law
makers who turned down the Peterson
bill--cigarets are being sold from q
score or more cigar stands. People
Rcquiesce in 1t because they believe the
present law Is a farce and that to
enforce it would be merely accenting
what is said to he an ill.COnceiyed and
poorly-drawn statute.

Sale Of Junk Nets Cio Sum

Warden Fenton, of the state peni-
Tertiary, has demonstrated the fact
that he possesses quite some ability
as a salesman And because of the
warden's power as conversational
list, the state has realized the neat
sum of $3.50.
This amount represents the worth OF
the Junk which has accumulated at the
prison for years and piled UP in rub
bish back of the south walls. A cam
paign against the rubbish was de-
clared recently and much of II burned.
The money comes from the sale OF
bones, iron, copper and brass.
But the warden had to stand pat to
pull the amount for the junk. For
the iron, a junk man paid SITS, al
though he offered only $40 on his first
bid. The collector offered IS for the
brass and copper. Fenton put the
price at SIS. After considerable dis
cussion the man was induced to give
$l3 for the lot For the bones the
man offered 81. The warden said 81
and four It finally was. For old rags
the warden received $38.

SCHOOLS MUST HAVE FIRE
ESCAPES

School buildings that are not pro-
vided with ample fire exits and fire
escapes must be made safe at once.
State Fire Marshal Hussey intends
to make a special campaign along
that line this summer.
There are a considerable number
of school buildings in the state in
which a fire during school hours
would mean the loss of many lives, in
some cases perhaps disaster as
great as the horrible incident at Pea
body, Mass, last fall, .r
The law is very strict in requiring
fire exits sand fire escapes, and the
fire marshal means to enforce 1t to
the letter.
There are several schools that have
been notified of defects and yet have
not complied with the law. They
must get busy at once. The boards

Il may be said that there is no plane

There ia no form Of vice, crime, debil-

During his campaign for the presi-
dency the late BENJAMIN Harrison ut
tered an epigram which made him the
target of much criticism. He said: "a
cheap coat makes cheap man. and
this statement, which was intended to
epitomize his views on the protective
tariff, was twisted into meaning that
people whose clothes were cheap were
purchasable. This was not true, and
It would be no more true that bad
housing made bad citizens under all
circumstances. But, next to an made

Door housing does stand as the most
deleterious element In our civic life.
Sanitary research shows how import
