CREATING NEW CRIMES.

The action of the South Carolina
senate in passing a bill which pro-
hibts smoking in the dining rooms
of hotels and other public places
is a good illustration Of one of the
crying evils of the times-the ten
lency to create new crimes by leg
islative enactmens If the measure
finally reaches the governor it is
to be hoped that he will have the
sense to veto it, not because smok-
ing in public is to be cOndoned, al
though there are comparatively
few persons to whom it is often
Sive, but 10 show disapproVal of
the course of the legislature in
magnifying what is at worst a petty
annoyance into a crime.
The way to deal with trivial Of
lenses of this character is not to
pass laws against them which no
one expects will he constantly and
rigidly enforced. If smoking in
hotel dining rooms is such a nui-
sance as the South Carolina senate
would lead one to suppose it was,
the hotel proprietors have it in
their power to stop if. And if
public sentiment favors the pro-
hihitiOn of smoking in such places
the hotel men will be quick enough
to yield to it, without having TO be
forced by a statute into taking

CHINA REASONABLY WARY.

Japan has announced its readi-
ness to "negotiate" with China for
the retrocession of Shantung to its
rightful owner, but the Chinese
have repulsed their neighbours ad-
vance. Can you blame them? The
Chinese want Shantung and are en-
titled to il, as all the world admits
but, getting the rich province as
japan would hand ii to them, they
might be worse off than they now
are.
For the Japanese it is to be said
that their tender is made in pur-
suance of their pledge to restore
Shantung to China, from whom
the Germans had taken it under
forced lease Of certain parcels in
Territory japanese honor is bound
up in this proceeding. But China
has refused to recognize the au-
thority Of the supreme council at
Paris to award the former German
rights to Japan, as is done in the
peace treaty with Germany, and
has declined to ratify the treaty
IT does not admit that Japan has
any rights in Shantung. In con-
sequence it holds that negotiations
for the return of its property are
not in order Compliance with it's
obligation to the treaty makers by
Japan would be, in Chinese estima-
ton tand in the estimation of a
great many others), simple re-
Iinquishment whereupon Chinese
of the province
would automatically be revived.

itself, and honesty into the bargain.

Their west-side apartment, then

Rhymes Along the Road
THE PLANTERS.
(By Bert Love)

Who plants flower plants hope
In human hearts, to thrive and
bloom
And gather strength wherewith to
cope
With death and doom.
Who grows blossom lights a lamp
TO guide the feet of weary man,
Through leagues of doubt, through
sorrows damp
Nocturnal fen.
Who tends a garden tends therein
The soul of man; for stalks and
grass
Starve out the ugly weeds of sin
Where we must pass.

IARRAZOIO'S PUBLIC LANDS
POLICY.

Governor I.arrazolo has made q
big dent in the dense understand
ing of eastern congressman re
gardng the righteousness Of turn
ing over the public domain to the
states in which it is located. lie
presented the matter most strong
ly from its various standpoints, ana
is confident that not more than
one more session of congress will
pass without favorable action,
The matter is most vital to New
Mexico This state is vast in OK
tent of its area ana limited in pop
ulation. It has no more lands up
on which a homestcader can make
a living, even il he could get two
sections instead Of the one section
now available under certain condi-
tons The public lands of New
Mexico must he dispoaed of in
large tracts, if they are to become
other than n disappointment to any
one attempting to make a living
upon them,
But the unrescrved lands could
be gradually sold off for sums
amounting in the aggregate TO
more than forty million dollars.
If this were in q permanent mnd,
the interest upon which would be
used exclusively for the mainten-
apoo 90 a., ,,rI.1i, .,b ,1l, IL ,r,,111
work a great reduction in the taxes
OF the state. Or if ii were EN-
ployed in road construction and
maintenance, the state would be
spared all taxes for roads and n
great system of public highways
could be constructed and kept in
repair.
As Governor LarraZolo pointed
out TO the congressional commit
tee, the administration of the pub
lie lands involves a dead loss to
the government. There is a de-
ficit every year as between the out
20 for administering and the in
come from sales and leases If the
present policy is continued the
lands will be dissipated-wil be
of no benefit to anybody.
The millions Of acres held open
for demonstrating contribute moth
ing to the support of schools, of
public roads or of police protection,
or for the maintenance Of state
and county administrations They
are n great liability instead of an
asset.
The biggest thing before the
people of this state, the thing that
will do more than anything else for
the states upbuildng, is the possl-
bility of securing the unrcserved
? lands belonging TO the federal gov
ernment for the use of the state.
The school lands OF the north
western states are worth enormous
~ moro than all of the unreserved
lands of this state added to the
school and endowment lands. Each
Of the Dakotas received from the
federal government public lands
worth approximately seventy mil
lion dollars The state of Okla
homa received its school lands and
the sum of six million dollars in
cash when it was admitted to
statehood. Nebraska, Minnesota
and other western states now have
pern1alSnt school funds, from the |
sale Of their school lands, amount
ing to tens of millions of dollars |
each.
But New Mexico has had nothing |
from the federal government cX-
cept a few public buildings and a
little assistance for construction of |
public roads under a bill grant
the union.
Governor Iarra2olo has put the !
public land question squarely up |
TO congress. with hope of favorable !
action.
