LAW NOT BEING ENFORCED.

With the raiding of places where il
was thought cigarettes were sold
many thought that it would put an
end to the habit of smoking these
"pills," especially among boys under

just as freely as before the raid. That
it is unlawful for minors to smoke
cigarettes on the street is we'll known,
yet any day small boys may be seen
with "coffin nails" sticking out of their
mouths. The raid was made to pro-
tect the youth from the harmful habit,
and for the benefit of some persons,
we quote the law on the subject, that
they may carry out the work COM
menced:
ut is unlawful for any person I'M
der the age of twenty-one years
to smoke cigarettes on the premises of
another, or on any public road, streets,
alley or park, or other lands used for
public purposes, or in any public
place Of business or amusement, ex-
cept when in company with his parent
or guardian. Any person found guilty
of violating this law shall be punish

The great New York success with
in the Law which comes to the Grand
Theatre, 8 nights, April 3, and 5,
bears the distinction of having OBJ
tanned the longest run ever given
drama in a New York theatre. For
over 400 performances capacity aud
fences were the rule at the Eltinge
Theatre. There are those, doubtless,
who may undertake to prove that
''Within the Law" is problem melo-
drama. It may stand as pitiless ar
raignment against the men who ask
girls to work for them at wages on
which the girls cannot live; it may
stand as an ironic exposure of the way
the law is successfully twisted by ex-
pensive lawyers to fit rich clients
needs; it may stand for something of a
laugh at the expense of the Police
Department. But it is safe to say
that audiences will not see anything in
it but an exciting entertainment of a
most vivid kind in which the sympathy
from first to last is with the shop girl

prison for a crime she has never COM

bile was a practical possibility. It
was my privilege to suggest and later

counties applying Is Travis.
Two counts stand out prominently
In the suits. First. the contention that
the road. now In recelvership. has no
Intangible value: but. II It has. the
amount Is much less than the figure
named by the state tax board and sec.
ond. that local discrimination has oc.
Cured In fixing the valuations for tax.

tion was once decided In the federal
courts. II was only in preliminary in.
junction. and therefore may be raised
again. Mr.. Niekels will devote his time
to that question and the local county
attorneys to defending the charge Of
discrimination In local assessments.
Inasmuch as the international 4
