In Spain One Mu-tn't
Judge by the
Names

DOLlTlCAL parties in Spain bear the
IL we'll known names of Conservative,
Liberal, Socialist, etc, but the parties in
Spain are so different from those of
other countries that very wrong idea
of Spanish politics would be gathered
from judging by the names only. The
Madrid correspondent Of E'The London
Times" has differentiated and explained
the Spanish political parties. He says:
''The word conservative is an example.
In Spain it stands for q kind of political
thought that has long ceased to exist in
England and corresponds to the period with
us in which rotten boroughs' f1ourished.
politician with the views of modern Eng
lish Conservative would probably call him
self an advanced Libera1 or Reformist in
Spain.
Here the principal active parliamentary
parties taking them from the Left and in
order, are: Socialists, Republicans, Radi-
Gals, Reformists, Liberals, Liberal Conser-
vatives and Conservatives. Within these
are comprised all sorts Of subdivisions, For
in Spanish politics, it is often said, there
are no ideas but only men, and each leader
has his own particular brand of doctrine
Thus the conservatism of Senor Dato differs
as much from that of Senior Maura az the
liberalism of Senior Alba differs from that
of Senor Garcia Prieto.
"But of the main parties cited the Re
formists probably come nearest to average
English political outlook to-day. Practically
everything to the Right of that party, with
the exception of certain enlightened minor
tiles, represents school of political thought
which is obsolete with US. 1t is German
rather than English in inspiration. The
parties to the Left of the Reformists are
to be more aptly compared with French
political groups.
"The fact that the Reformists have not
a larger following in the Cortes Is duo
chiefly to the fact that they represent no
vested interests, grind no ones axe, and
that, being Moderates, they offer no great
prospects of the excitement and gratifica-
tion of political passion. The Spaniard like
the Irishman, dearly loves a row, although
his political blood cools quickly as it
becomes hot. If the Refornists would af-
firm their monarchist faith little moro
definitely and firmly it might help to clear
the political situation, for the King can
hardly be expected to seek counsel in a
crisis from people who are suspected OF
indifference as to the vital issue between
Monarchsts and Republicans.
Whatever may be her aspirations n
future Spain is not ready for the most
advanced form of government OF which the
world has experience. What she needs Ia
enlightened education, honest government
and the continuity which the monarchy
affords. The elements of satisfactory
solution of present difficulties exist in King
Alfonso and the Moderate Left, but the time
available for them to come to an UNDER
standing is limited"
New-York tribune., 1919-02-23

ually but not now" Eventually the pro-
fessor hopes to have tobacco abolished,
but now he is devoting his time to edu-
eating the people to the tremendous
waste" that tobacco causes Neverthe-
less, his hearty cooperation is still at the
service of Dr. Franklin Hall, the national
secretary Of the No Tobacco League Of
the United States, with headquarters at
Butler, Ind, who is projecting a cam
paign from Syracuse. From other quar-
ters also have come the clarion call to
attack. A high official of the Y. M.
c. A., while admitting tobacco may have
had its uses among soldiers under the
stress of battle, deplores the spread of
the habit, and advises an educational
campaign, unobtrusive but emphatic,
against the use of the weed. Thus "The
New York Times" some time ago saw
the Nineteenth Amendment thrusting a
pious nose above the horizon.
Not only the Y M. C. A. but the Y.
W. c. A. has considered the matter. In
England the dispute over the question
to smoke or not to smoke the cigarette
has reached such pitch that a number
of women who disapprove of smoking
in the Y. w. c. A. buildings have
jumped to the Irish association, which
prohibits smoking.
Then there is the news that the ciga-
rette has been expelled from the strong

with this little ditty. Tobacco is an un-
pleasant habit, but, at the same time,
"men who are crude in their use of to-
bacco would be crude without it. They
would chew gum in ones ear or throw pea
nut shucks in ones lap. Smoking is handy
way of hurting ones health and sometimes
bringing discomforts to others, but it is
only one way among many. If DR.. Hall got
rid of smoking he would probably start
crusade to abolish coffee. Coffee, taken in
excess, does harm. It puts ones nerves
on edge, hurts ones liver, and makes one
lie awake nights and plan murder. Pie, too,
is serious evil What New England would
have been without pie one can only con-
lecture, but undoubtedly its Puritanism
would have taken less dyspeptic cast"

WITH the elimination of Turkey
w from the control Of Mesopota-

may be expected in those regions in
which the Bagdad Railway will take a

The London Times" says of the section
Of the railway including the Taurus
tunnels
THE railway between Bozanti, in the
Taurus range, and Aleppo, is, on the whole,
in first class condition. Some excellent
work has been done. The organization near
the Taurus tunnel is extremely interest
ing. Trains can run all the way, but
the tunnels need lining with masonry. This
urgent, otherwise they will fall in after
the heavy rains; indeed, some of the new
cuttings have already fallen. The scenery
Is magnificent in the tunnel area, and there
Is very fine bridge with piers 220 feet
high.
"On the Amanus range the tunnel work
mas been finished, though there are many
oimculties owing to the sinking of the high
banks. The track Is laid and we'll ballasted

Admitting that the practice cannot be
condoned in any part of the world, Edith
C. Johnson, writing in "The Daily Okla
homan," explains in justification of the
British "Y" women that in England
smoking receives certain social sane
ton there that it has never had here"
and concludes:
1.-The cigarette smoking women of the
problem play, the musical comedy and the
Bohemian restaurant is not severe menace
to society. 1t is the good woman smoker
who does the damage; the woman, who,
while taking public stand for the clean
est living and thinking, unblushngly takes
to cigarettes Her very goodness seems TO
sanction smoking. 1t is not the first time
that her indulgence in smoking has caused
dissension. Something of the same sort
happened about three years ago in New
York City when indscriminate smoking
among certain women welfare workers
brought down upon certain civic betterment

assault is that of tobacco. It's use is a
pleasure, therefore may be abused From
the standpoint of the reformer appearances
are against it. For instance, the tobacco
business is we'll organized; the persons en-
ployed in it are prosperous and contented
There is an atmosphere of geniality about a
cigar store, and holders of stock in such en-
terprises are said to receive fair dividends
and to pay substantial taxes. I cannot
smoke, but l notice that when my friends
indulge in cigar they become more reason
able, they are on better terms with them
selves and the world. This unearned felicity
is, of course, wrong. 1t is unethical 1t

sending smokes to the boys abroad should
not be thanked, but severely reprimanded.
