Popular With Austrian People.
The new ruler is extremely popular
with the Austrian people. His wife
was born May 9, 1892. Their distaste
for imperial red tape in family mat.
tiers was evinced recently when they
we're seen driving to the country from
Vienna with a go-cart strapped to the
rear of their automobile. Arrived in
the country, the two royal children
were bundled into the go-cart and arch.
duke and archduchess took turns
wheeling them about.
Archduke Charles Francis, before
war, was a typical young Austrian Of.
f1cer, gay and popular. He has aged
much during the two years of the war
He is devoted to his wife and was a
favorite with the emperor. His pre-.
dominant characteristics are tact and
graciousness, which explain his popu.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: would say that heartily approve OF
every constructive method and movement
which is in any way beneficial TO the develop
ment Of more harmonious and constructive
consciousness. or thought world. and ~hich
therefore produces more harmony in the eN-
ternal world The modern newspaper cannot
afford 10 do anything less than be the great
est II knows how; neither can II afford 70
have a consciousness which would permit II
10 want to be less great than its greatest
ideal. for il is really the consciousness that
counts rather than the act, for II ls much
easier 10 eliminate the act or objective mani
festation and its effect than II is 20 change
the consciousness or thought back of the act
Because of this fact the start made by a
modern newspaper like The Tribune in eimi-
mating liquor advertisements OF all kinds Is
a good one. but it should be followed up BY
teaching it's readers how to dlspace any
want for liquor or any other destructive thing
which they might have in their consciousness
for only by having this want displaced IN
ones consciousness can the real root OF the
liouor question and every other question be
reached. r W. "hnH''

Cigarettes and Degeneration.

It is to be gathered from paper IN the
current medical Times" that our unhappy
country is dangerously threatened by the
increasing popularity Of the cigarette
The author vows he is no friend OF the
nine. and indeed, it is evident that ne
hates tobacco in all forms; but the cigar
cite is his particular aversion, and he is
satisfied that unless something can DC
done to put stop to it the nation must
infallbly perish.
Every boy has been told that smoking
stunts growth, but for a clear demonstra-
ton of this fact nothing so satisfactory
has ever been seen as the photograph that
adorns the doctors paper. II shows tour
bovs. two of them head and shoulders over
the other two. The big fellows never
smoked and the little fellows had smoked
for long time. ut seems more than
mere coincidence says the doctor.
The cigarette, the doctor thinks, is more
dangerous than strong drink. Englshmen
smoke cigarettes. "The average British
workman" he says, "is a poorly developed
ambitionless subject. Three-fourths of the
applicants for THO army and navy were IN
the past rejected as unfit. Nearly all then
exhibited the stain upon the fingers OF the
cigarette Where he got this curious In
formation about the fingers of the reject
ed he does not tell us, but let us not fattcr
Yourselves that we are better off than the
English. We seem, indeed, 10 be in a
worse case, for the author quotes Mr.
Daniels as having announced that only one
in six Of the applicants for our navy Is
accepted. Examination would doubtless
show cigarette stains on the fingers OF
both hands; yet these applicants, the doc
tor assures US, represented "the best
J America had" To such state has th'
cigarette reduced us to-dayl
But that is not all. Tho list Of disas
ters attributable 10 tobacco is so pro
ldigious that the wonder is how any smoker
manages 10 live at all. The doctor is II
great hopes that steps will be taken TO put
stop 10 cigarettes in public, at least
,l"I do not see" no says, why women anC
innocent little children are compelled e
live in an atmosphere Of cigarette smoke
He docs not think that a clean water sup
ply is by any means so important TO city
as the protection Of the air from cigarette
smoke.
AS 10 the innocent little children, IL Is :
little doubtful whether there will DO any
Of them left in a few years, for it seem;
the declining birthrate whatever people
! may say about birth control) is really a
/, consequence Of tobacco smoking France,

the implication is that this disastrous state
Of affairs is due TO the popularity Of Tho
cigarette.

Beautiful Diction-and Abasement.

! 0 the Editor of The Tribune.
sir: What every red-blooded man likes IN
Colonel Roosevet's statement in yesterday 5
Tribune is the unmistakable evidence that he
believes in energetic, positive action just as
soon as phraseology fails. He's some letter
writer himself. and can turn phrase as we'll
es our Chief Magistrate, but he believes that
when national rights are involved rhetorical
patter. suave lingo and expressions OF panied
surprise will not establish them IN the face
Of ruthless policy like that which decreed
the Lusitania murders.
Had he been Presden. on the eth or last
May there would have been no Lusltania
atrocity, and. while he might have exchanged
courteous notes with BernstorR from time
to time, as world politics demanded, the cor
respondence would have been 20 the point,
and no suspicion would have been enter
tanned at other capitals that the American
notes did not mean what they said and could
be discounted from 95 70 80 per cent with
out serious risk.
In few months we shall have an oppor-
.unity TO express our opinion of this literary
Administration and the products Of its type
writer. Is there any doubt OF the verdict :
Is there any one too proud OF the State De-
partments beautiful diction to feel the
shame of our national humiliation and

Sir: Ihave no quarrel with the liquor in

Universal prohibition may be obtained BY
