ANTI-CIGaRETTE LAW.

The Kansas anti-cigarette law, which prohibits the sale of cigarettes. Is to be tested before the United States supreme Court.
 Many people do not know that there k n state in the Union. namely Kan sus which makes the sale of cigarettes even to adults, illegal. The law against selling tobacco in any form to minors Is we'll known. But the pro- hibitio against the sale of cigarettes to people of age Is something that goes so far many people doubt that such n prohibition exists.
 Recent raids have been made on alleged vendors in that state. where the law has been in existence for many years. The raids are a direct or in- direct result of the anti-tobacco cru sadc that "reformers'' have started. The result of this law. of course. , is that cigarettes are bought outside the state and sent Or brought into it. Men do smoke them in that state. But a man seen smoking a cigarette in one ! Of the small towns of Kansas is imme- ! diately stamped as a questionable 1 character
 No brief is here held for cigarette smoking. IL certainly does one no good. and may do harm. It is repul- ! sive to many who are compelled to get the smoke second hand. The same may be said about smoking of any kind. The same may be said O. many other habits of men and women.
 In Kansas, the young attorney. for instance. coming to make his way in small city hoping to be the big fish in the small pond" brings with him a habit legal. at least. in other parts of tho country. But he soon learns to abandon the habit in public at least which hurts his honesty if he con- tinues it in private.
 There must come a line on one side of which lies personal liberty; on the other paternalism so strict as tc make life almost unbearable. A man can live without cigarettes. of course. But this Is only the beginning. and unless that line Is firmly and authoritatively drawn by the courts the "reformers'
 may oyerstep it to such a degree that some of the United States will become too oppressive even for the most pa

NEW HEri MN MOVIES" :"

All New Britain people will regret that legitimate plays, presented by the actors in person. no longer come here IL Is to he hoped sincerely that they will come moru often than in the pas'.
 Hut meanwhile there appears t" have been an improvement ih tn" moving pictures and vaudeville shown here. Recently there has beer given Il musical review. atil in progress. In one of the theaters that is especially des irving cf mention. r. contains no musical work that will thrill the critic. Hut there are bits of daintiness included In it's preean ation: much humor and good dancing that places il above tho average and brings mo- nents of real enjoyment for the not tou-critical.
 Last wcCI there was shown the picture of G newspaper story at auoth- CT of the move houses which not only interest ed but instructed in T manner that did not takc from, but rather added to. the enthusiasm which the picture reused.
 Al othar ,nUatcrG also there scems to bc no lack nf ability in obtaining pictures showing the recognized stars" of the film profession. There is no question hut that New Britain has the opportunity of seeing the best of pictures.
 Somehow the impression prevails that the theaters are being conducted in n better manner. The audiences, with. the exception Of the habit of leaving the theatcrs before the pie ture is ended and thus disturbing those who wish to sec il through. are quieter and more inclieed to follow the rules of legitimate houses If this i'm pruvement is made a point of and eontinues, increased patronage, and patronage of better element will re- sult---which will be to the advantage Of all concerned.

politics one of study and thought, however, not one of personal popu- larity and pull is worthy. At this time especially. and the same will be true next year, international relations should be a matter of concern to every man.
