ABOUT THE MAN WHO SMOKES
He Consumes Much Tobacco, but Not
Nearly as Much as Man
Who Che1s.

We smoke more than three times as
many cigarettes in this country as
cigars, but we burn up twice as much
tobacco in the cigars as in the ciga-
retteS.
pound of tobacco will make nearly
six times as many cigarettes as cigars
So it seems that the man who smokes
only three cigars a day is using the
equivalent of IS cigarettes.
Often we fatter ourselves that the
habit of chewing tobacco is passing
out, it isn't. More tobacco is "chewed''
every day than is smoked in the shape
Of cigars, "Girard' asserts in the Phil
adelphia Record. Indeed, chewing to-
bacco weighs almost as much as the
cigars and cigarettes together
More cigars are made in Philadelphia
than in any other city on earth, and
our manufacturers are swamped with
work. They are many millions OF
cigars behind in filling orders. Oh, yes,
prices are going up in some directions,
so that it costs more than ever before
TO come within the class thus described
by Bulwer-Lytton The man who
smokes thinks like a sage and acts
like a Samaritan"

NEW ROADS BILL PREPARED
Measure Of State Association Is Ready
for MISUNDERSTANDING for
Highway Commi ssion

Topeka-Robert Barr, senator from
Bourbon County, will open the fight
in the senate for a highway commits
sion to have charge of the road and
bridge building in the state. The bill
has been drafted by the legislative
committee of the Kansas Good Roads
Association and the 365-Day Road
Club
The highway commission is to be
composed of the governor, secretary
Of the board of agriculture and the
dean of the engineering department of
the Kansas Agricultural College. They
are to serve without pay, except their
expenses in handling the work of the
department. The commission is to
name a secretary and a chief engin-
eer, and as many clerks and engineers
as required. This commission and it's
engineers will have control of the
highway and bridge work of the state,
including building and maintenance.
1t will have authority to make the ne
cessary contracts with the government
in obtaining federal aid for road build
ing.
Two class of roads are to be rec
ognized. One is the township road,
the other is for county roads, which
are either rural mail routes or the
main travelled highways between towns
and market centers. The counties
must take care of the county roads,
while the local roads are left to the
township boards, under the supervision
of the comfy engineer and the highway
commission.
1t will be required that in building
county roads all grade crossings of
rail lines must be avoided.
After a comfy plans its road system
a map must be sent to the highway
commission for approval before work
may be done on the roads. The com.
mission may require the relocation Of
any county road.
One important feature of the law
is that it separates the road and bridge
funds in the counties. Heretofore it
has been the practice to use most OF
the money on bridge work and let the
roads shift for themselves. The law
will stop this.

HERO OF MANILA BAY is DEAD
End Comes to Admiral Dewey at His
Home in Washington After a
Brief Illness.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Admiral Dew
ey, the Nations Spanish War hero and
by priority of grade the ranking naval
officer of the world, died at his home
here late this afternoon in his eigh-
tieth year. He had not been conscious
since yesterday, when he lapsed into
coma, still believing that in a few
days he would be back at his desk in
the Navy Department.
A general breakdown accompanied
by arterio-scleTosiS was the cause of
death. The disease had been gradual
1y spreading its hold upon the power
full body for year and a half, but the
admiral, proud Of his physical vigor,
had fought it off and even kept its
existence a secret from most of his
intimate friends. Last Wednesday he
was at his office apparently hale and
hearty. The next day he collapsed as
he was preparing to leave the house
and the beginning of the end was at
hand.
The admiral died at 5:56 o'clock.

iels were notified at once and the

orders that all flags be halfmasted.
The President will confer tomorrow
with Secretary Daniels and Rear Ad-
miral Badger and arrange for the fu-
neral, which probably will take place
Saturday. The body will be buried in
Arlington National Cemetery on the
Virginia shore of the Potomac river,
where many of Admiral Dewey's for
mer comrades have been laid to rest.
Only two other men-Farragut and
Porter-have held the rank of the adj
miral of the American Navy, and since
Civil War days no military figure has
held such a place as Dewey in the af-
lection and admiration of the Ameri-
can people.
His death ended sixty-two years of
active service His baptism of fire
came in the Civil War, through which
he served with distinction.
When news of the admiraPs death
was received at the White House,
President Wilson authorized the fol-
lowing statement:
In expressing his grief at the death
Of Admiral Dewey, the President said

PLOTTED TO KILL PRESIDENT?
Anarchists Also Charged With Plan to
Conduct Revolution, in Trial
at San Francisco.

San Francisco, Jan 19--That Pres
ident Wilson's life was threatened by
an anarchistie organization Known as
the "Blasters," OF which Thomas J.
Mooney, on trial here for murder. was
a leader, will be shown by evidence
TO be presented in Moneys trial, As
sistant District Attorney Edward A
Cunha declared today in superior
court in his opening address TO the
jury.
Il will prove" said Cunha, that
these men plotted revolution against
the government l will prove that
they said in an edition of the Blast,
the weathercock in the White House
had better watch out. Suppression of
the voice of the discomfort leads to
assassination.
Cunha outlined the history of the
bomb explosion here last July in which
ten persons lost their lives and in
which it is charged Mooney had
part.
81 will show a motive for MONEYS
participation in this crime and that he
advised and encouraged it." said
Cunha- Il will prove that prior TO
January, 1916, Mooney, Alexander
Berkman, Miss NJ. Z. Fitzgerald and
others entered into a conspiracy to
bring about al uprising against prop
erty owners, the confiscation of pri-
vate property and the destruction of
government and that they called them
selves the B1asters' and publicly an
nounced in the Blast the objects of
their conspiracy. 1 will connect
Mooney with this conspiracy by let
tiers in his own writing and by articles
he wrote in the Blast 1 will show
that they planned to create a preju-
dice against and TO betray the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. 1 will show
that before the parade Mooney de-
clared preparedness must be thrown
back into the teeth of its advocates
and that Mooney declared if the gov
eminent had a large army the revolu-
ton would be nipped in the bud"
Cunha said that Mooney and the
other cOnspirators in their campaign
against preparedness declared that the
first one of them TO be approached by
a recruiting officer should shoot him
