pretty small proportion Of the number
Of these ",sticks of blazes" produced

bacco and the match business would
be shot to pieces.
But the match business is only one
of a dozen or more allied industries
which derive large revenues directly
or Indirectly from the tobacco trade
and would suffer heavily if national
prohibition of tobacco were to go into
effect as some of our reformers would
have it. The annual sales of tobacco
products, based on retail prices, is es-
timated at $1,937 100000 of the cost
of producing and selling this quantity
of cigars, cigarettes and other forms

dollars are paid out for other things
than the raw tobacco and labor of

For example, the tobacco trade con-
sumes each year $4,000, 900 pounds of

OFFICIALS WHO BREAK
CONSTITUTION SCORED

At meeting of lawyers at Portland
Ore, held on Constitution day, Cir
cult Judge Morrow struck a .discor-
dant note in the song FOR observance
of the constitution.
: The judge declared for the Con-
stitution, and insisted that public Of
ficials show by their actions that they
respect the organic law of the land.
by what right" he asked, docs
any district attorney of any country
summon prisoner before him for an
interview when probably no charge
has been filed against him?
Even though a charge is pending,
magistrate is the only person who
legally may tnterrogate him. BY
what right does the chief Of police
assert that so-and-so shall be held in
what they CARL incommunicado'? That
is a term which harks back to the
Spanish inquistion.
POSSIBLY by the filing or repeated
petitions for writs of habeas corpus,
a solution may be found to the prob
lem. But this is often expensive and
prisoners cannot always afford it,
Commenting on this speech, Edi-
tor Rynerson, Of the Oregon Labor
Press; pays this tribute to Judge Nor
row.

methods and an fnsistence Of obedi-
ence Of the law Of public officials in

GETTING GOLD FEET.

No military legislation will be
brought before the house Of represen.
tatives during the remainder Of the ex.
ira session Chairman Kahn Of the
military affairs committee has washed
his hands Of the house for this session
and if that body does not mend its
ways the military affairs committee
simply won't play. They have decided
that the house is in no mental state to
give serious consideration to important
military legislation.
The information is to be cleaned
from the Army and Navy Journal in its
current issue. That redoubtable sup.
porter Of the armed forces Of the nation
goes on to point out as evidence Of the
impossible state Of mind Of the house
of representatives, its action in defeat
ing the bill for maintaining West Point
at it's authorized strength. When that
measure came up tor discussion what
did that misguided body do but suggest
that the passage Of the bill would DO
