Against the cigarette itself there can be the objection of an occasional preju- Against the use of the cigarette by young and growing, howe there must be an emphatic and an effective protest. ‘The law {s supposed to prevent the sale of these insiduous rolls to minors. But the law is notoriously inadequate, for it covers only in the very slightest degree the cu- pidity of dealers, to whom the ages of cus- tomers count for nothing against their pen- nies, nickels and dimes. Pn ‘The local movement to discourage cigar- ette smoking by the young Is well estab- hshed, It seeks to create a strong public sentiment, to enforce a reasonable moral discipline in the schools and to inculcate in the boys of Washington an appreciation of the dangers of persistent smoking. Some of the mosi efficient agents of this propa- ganda be found in the ranks of youth. A sturdy lad, commanding the respect of his companions, may do more good against this bad habit than many lectures by eld- ers. There is something potent in the con- tempt of one boy for another. Too often it s this force that leads a lad to smoke, in order to avoid the reputation of being a weakling, an “apron-string” boy. False ideals and standards are too frequently es- by the stronger minded but lower ys in a group. This New York case might well be used here and now, therefore, to illustrate the horrors of ihe habit when carried to ex- cess, when running to its logical conse- quences. Of course all boys who smoke are not potential murderers, but it should be comparatively easy to show the youth of Washington, through the medium of the present agitation, that there is a grave risk in this form of indulgence, and that it is the course of safety to eschew alto- gether a pleasure which Is at best ques- uonable. ——_~ ++ ___ Bourke Cockran at Montgomery. Tt is reported that Bourke Cockran will visit Montgomery, Ala., this week and de- liver an address before the “Southern So- clety for the Promotion of the Study of Race Conditions and Problems in, the South.” He is expected to take extreme ground on the race question, and to propose outright the repeal of the fifteenth amend- ment to the Constitution. The majority of those who will partici- pate in the meeting at Montgomery, which is to continue three days, are men of south- ern birth and residence and very highly Tespected throughout the country. Hilary A. Herbert of Alabama and Clifton R. Breckinridge of Arkansas are of the num- ber. and men of that stamp ought to be able to contribute much of value to that subject. Their experience in political af- fairs has been large, and they have the ear of the public. And, whether one agrees with them or not, It is to be conceded that are representative men of their sec- . with knowledge gathered at first hand ‘al conditions, and worthy therefore hearing. it is to be doubted if Mr. Cockran anything to contribute to the meeting P: ned oratory. He knows noth- ing of the south or of her problems but from hearsay. He settled in New York when he came over from Ireland, and has resided thers ever since. The negro prob- lem in New York bears no resemblance to the negro problem in the south. In fact, there is no negro problem tn New York. Mr. Cockran and his political friends make play for the negro vote as for the white vote in their local contests, and get a por- tion of it. There are colored Tammany clubs manipulated by Mr. Croker at elec- tion times, and their votes are cast and ecunted. It would seem to be anything but becoming in Mr. Cockran, therefore, while hobnobbing with the negro in election con- tests at home, and soliciting and accepting negto support, to be invading the south, where "the negro’s inclination is to vote against Mr. Cockran’s party, and proposing that the negro be prevented from voting there at all. é The race problem fs not exclusively a southern problem. The whole country {s inter in it, and hopes for a just and workable solution of it. But to the extent that th Montgomery meeting is swayed by addresses of southern men fa- r with their topic, and not by imported jonate orators who know little if any- peting command respectful public atte Better call Mr. Cockran off, or give him a subject with which he has had opportunity to familiarize him oe tor Chandler's idea of allowing no arks to be printed in the Congressional ord unless they are actually delivered has practical advantage. But it is a little rough on the statesmen who are supposed to sit still and listen. ———_~+ += _____ The statement Is made that William Wal- dorf Astor owes the United States $2,000,000 in tax The sultan is waiting to learn if there Is to be any talk in this connection of sending battle ships. +o —____ Mr. Bryan is having the front porch of his home enlarged.

It is reported from Chicago that the po- Utical supporters of Admiral Dewey are watching the receptions accorded him on his present trip with great tnterest. Na- than Strauss of New York, who for 2 jeng time trained with the Cleveland wor- shipers, but seems now to have transferred his affections to the admiral, traveled alf the way to the windy city to note the charac and effect of the demonstration there, and said afterward, In reply to a question: ‘As an old friend and admirer of the admiral I was naturally interested in seeing how he would be recelved by Chica- I must say I was pleased with the ‘dial welcome given him and the enthu- sm shown wherever he appeared.” But will it be safe for these politicians to all of this enthusiasm to Admiral “s political account? As The Star pointed out before the admiral started, It is not possible to separate the cheering be- stowed upon the hero from that bestowed upon the candidate for the presidency. Is it not likely, however, that In the section where he now Is visiting the admiral is stronger as hero than as candidate? It is his first appearance there since he became a hero, and naturally the people, who are proud of his achievement at Manila, are testifying with warmth to their apprecia- tion of his wonderful victory. If he were to extend his trip clear across the conti- nent, and step en route at Mr. Bryan's own town of Lincoln, he would everywhere meet with evidences of admiration and good will. Sull, litle as a trained politician should be misled on this score, it is altogether Wkely that Admiral Dewey himself will be. He is the center of attraction. He ts filling ai every place the center of the stage. He has become a little accustomed to the cbaracter of hero, but as a candidate he Is new even to himself. It is safe to say, too, that he is thinking more about the presidency just now than about Manila bay. He is anxious to believe that the people want him for President, and hence when he sees them line up by the thou- sands, and hears them cheer him heartily as his carriage goes by, nothing is more natural than that he should put that con- siruction on their interest and aitention which is most agreeable to his wishes and desires. Admiral Dewey will probably return to Washington, therefore, with his visions of the presidency mastering him more com- pletely than ever. The prolonged roar of enthusiastic acclaim will still be ringing in his ears, and the politician, now fully aroused in him, will be flattered and gulled by great @xpectations. —__ — + « = —___ There are several ambitious democrats who, in their secret hearts, regard Mr. Bryan as a good man for second choice. —__—~ «= —____ Oom Paul must be credited with keeping his temper better than some of the em- inent Englishmen who are after him. —___~+ ¢ =—____ SHOOTING STARS. Doubtfal. “These Boers are an agricultural people,” sald the man who wears knickerbockers and smokes a short pipe. “Yes,” answered Mr. Corntossel. “I don't purtend to know much about international politics, but I must say I began to feel kind o' skittish about them fellers’ chances as soon as I found out they was a farmers’ al- lance.” A Reliance on Words.

Would you mind telling me just how much time you consider a moment?” “Why, I couldn't say precisely.” “Something less than half a minute?” “I should think so.” “Well, I wish you'd figure it out. If you can write all those words in less than half a minute I'd like to dispense with my corps of stenographers and employ you at a fab- ulous salary.” Regrets. “Many a man has found that a hasty re- mark cost him a great deal.” “That's right,” answered Senater Sor- ghum. “I once got in & hurry and said ‘five hundred dollars’ when I could have gotten the Influence the man had for a hun- dred and fifty."

But The Star people made a contract with the George A. Fuller Company, with the most carefully guarded provisions, and it called for the erection, in the best manner, of the struc- ture designed by the architects to be com- pleted for occupation in a year. The year is not up, but the building was up long ago, and it is a fine specimen of the French Renaissance in architecture, 51 fect front, ten stories in height, 127 feet deep, the steel frame hidden behind a facing of white marble. There fs much of delicate carving for ornamentation, the business of- fice is embellished with Pavanozza marble and bronze, the floors are of terra cotta, and all the necessary and decorative fea- tures have been supplied within the time and at not above the cost stipulated in the contract. About everything that cannot be said of the government building opposite, as to its quality and the expedition with which it has been erected, can be sald of the new home of The Sta’ ———__ ¢ = —_______ Saving the Birds in New York. From the New York Herald. When Gov. Roosevelt signed the Hallock bill, which makes it a misdemeanor to sell or have for sale the plumage of wild and song birds, a distinct triumph was achieved by the Audubon societies. They should now help to secure the passage of the bill now before the United States Senate which pro- hibits interstate commerce in birds killed in violation of local laws. —_+ + —___ A Failare as a Candidate. From the New York Tribune. Admiral Dewey has been making his long contemplated visit to the west. He has been received with open arms in Chicago and St. Louis. Thousands of men have paraded in his honor, the flags have been flying, the club houses have been opened and he has been given dinners and toasts. But these honors were tendered to him, not as a presidential candidate, but as the ad- miral of the navy, the man who fought the battle of Manila bay. Political questions have not entered Into the reception. The admiral must know by this time that as a candidate for the presidency he ts a failure. and incredib! power of thi constructi —— ee Use of Shrubbery and Vines, From the Indianapolls Press. There ts in motion now a considerable re- vival of landscape gardening in America. It is finding its greatest expression in the Institution of the formal garden, modeled after those of Italy and France. Though the formal garden {s never likely to flourish much here, the movement will accomplish much if it calls general attention to. the fact that much beauty be gained at comparatively small expense in the use of shrubbery and vines. ———_ ee _____ Enforce the Oleo Regulations, From the Pittsburg Commercial-Gusette. Justice to the dairying interests, as well as consumers-of either butter or oleo, de- mands that the regulations be enforced to the letter. If they are, time will probably show that the vexgtlous oleomargarine problem has been happily solved. The trouble has been heretofore that the pos- sibility of profit was so great as to be a constant temptation to dishonesty. The substitute for butter may be every bit as geod and wholesome as genuine butter, but it is not butter and should have no place upon the market disguised as that article. This is the principle which the law recog- nizes; it is sound, and the public will wel- come every effort to carry it into effect. —_+ «= —____ Its Recent Numbers Are Spicy Enough.
