WOULD 1T BE SINFUL
(From The Cincinnati Enquirer }

(trom the Cincinnati Enqurer)
An effort Is being made to revive the old-tme cus-
tom Of taking snun. And why not? Everybody
takes snuff when the King sneezes" Metaphorically
we are all snun-takers when near the seats Of the
mighty.
On the desk OF the presiding officer OF the Senate
stands an ornate snuff box. Presumably 1t should be
used; to some extent It is used The Vice President
Should the custom become general as once it was
perhaps resourceful manufacturers may be able TO
mpart to II something in OF one-half of one
per cent of something and lend a bit Of cheer to
what fast is becoming a cheeress world
But, then there the reforners. Though snuff
should come to again, and with 1t the lacy shirt
fronts, the jeweed buckles. the satin knickers and
all the frippery and foppery Of the days of Louis the
Magnificent; should it come, pungent and subtly
suggestive of that stately American period when
age, grace and genius nourlshed Wayne B. Wheeler
and his crowd of brands snatched from the burning
would declare the habit to be disgusting, unconstu-
tOnal and immoral!
But doubtless there men living who will remem-

fined to be sinful in these ar-millennial days.

possibility of tho closing for the lack
OF funds Of the evening high school
patronizcd by young Mr.. Singer
|, in my turn, wish TO contradic
Mr.. Green. The idea that education
should be treated like a material
commodity is absurd and entirely
wrong.
Why does the city take pride in
maintaining beautiful public parks
and remarkable public libraries?
Surely there is an enormous amount
OF money consumed by these. Is in
tense aud honest education OF less
importance at the present time or
does my worthy opponent fear that
greater expansion of education will
lead to better times for others at his
expense?
1t is quite true that It is wrong to
demand something FOR nothing" as
our friend puts II. But IN the case Of
education this simple formula does
not hold, A glance back at history
will show us that time and again
men have forfeited their lives In Cdu-
eating others, demanding nothing in
return but the mouthful OF bread.
We do not ask MIR. Green, however,
20 do as much; il is not ncccnnry
Furthermore, the man or woman so
educated will not be- getting some
thing for nothing, but viii hc repay

Again ] say Mr. Green's policy Is
wrong. Let us train our American
to be something more than a mere
public school graduate, and our nat
uralized foreigner TO be something
more than the poor miserable man
that too often he is, our American
must he able To boast Of something
moro than an elementary education:
