came to US and said that smoking is being praetieed

smoke there is usually FIRE and the interesting thing
is, where does the fire or the desire to smoke come
'FRONT.'
when we come right down to individual rights.
women have Just as much warrant for smoking as
hive the men and the smoking habit is probably the
psychological result Of the new freedom they are en-
joying after centuries of suppressed individuality.
But there is no reason why girls should smoke any
more than men can justify the habit, But men like
to think of girls as being free from habits Of this kind
their sense of chivalry hates TO think of a girl whose
breath smells Of cigarettes, whose fingers are stained
with nicotine, and whose salow complexion denotes
familiarity with the tobacco weed True, men who
smoke have all of these symptoms, but as a rule, man
is a homely brute, anyway, and was never intended
for facial beauty. But a girls strength is in her
beauty, and the ciga~rette-smoking girl loses her charm
about as quickly as from anything she can do. If an
older woman decides that she wants to smoke, that is
her own business, but for young girls to take up the
habit before they are capable of forming their own
judgments, it is a pity. If the information that comes
to US is correct, some of our parents might well do a
little investigating. If they find their young daughter
hanging around the schoolhouse at night or around
the dask corners Of our streets putting away on a vile
smelling cigarette, it is time to apply the family slip

obtained"

Gillette is the county seat of Campbell county. 1t

importance and its people who visit away from home
pick up habits and customs they find to exist in other
and larger centers. For many years the COW men in
and about Gillette rolled their OWE and nothing was

THE t

The Lander Post discusses the largest city question
and removal of the state capital in the same breath,
and its conclusions are perfectly right and proper as
to each proposition. The Post says:
"Both Casper and Cheyenne, the state capital, claim
TO be the largest city in Wyoming. Ask a Casper man
which is the states largest city and he will tell you at
once that Casper leads in population and everything
else. Put the same question to a resident of the
states capital and he will at once tell you that Chey-
enne is the largest city in Wyoming and refer to the
latest census figures. But when it comes to a matter
of comparative growth of the two cities, the Cheyenne
citizen is as silent as an oyster.
"f Casper isn't the largest city in the state just
now it will be in a mighty short time. Following that
will come an effort to remove the capital to the more
central and convenient location at Casper and every
body in these mountains will be found in favor of
that move"
