TOBACCO FOES ARE LOSING GROUND Canvass of 7,847 Editors Shows 7,393 Communities Against Abolishing Weed. ANTIS LA)SE THmE STATI'ES Utah, Under Mormon Influence, Only Commonwealth to Adopt Proltibi tion Measure )uring Year. "Is tobacco going to have its scalp added to tt-.e belt of the prohibitionist beside tha tof the lamented but. as yet rot altogether late alcohol?" is the question asked by Garret Smith in an article in the current issue of Leslie's Magazine." The Writ' retches the o(ncitlusin that while there has been increased agitation and legislative activity on the subject o ftobacco following the success of the drive for prohibition of liquor the efforts of reformers seek ing to abolish tobacco have no general support. This opinlioll is based on the result of tho onestionnaires on the subject sent. out to iewsiaper eiitors of the country by the Press Service Company of New York City. The questions askea were: (1) Do you favor the enactment, of laws prohibiting the personal use of tobacco by adults ? (2) In your judgment does the gen eral sentiment of your community favor such legislation? (3) Is the use of tobacco personal ly objectionable to you? No arguments accompanied thc clues tions and from their form it was imb possible for any editor to determine the attiude of the questioners. Out of 12,518 editors questioned, 7,847 replied according to the sum mary given. These elitors, it is esti mated, represent a combined circula tion of 21,870,046. Of the 7,847 editors replying, 7,393, or 95 per cent, repre sent public sentiment in their coni munities as opposed to anti-tobacco legislation. Only 269 editors, or 3 per cent of those replying believed there was any considerable sentiment favorable to tobacco prohibition. There were 174, or 2 per cent, in doubt, while 20 failed to record their judgment. FAitors' Judgment Unbiased "It is of special interest to tiote that 569 editors in answering the first question, personally favored such legislation, although only 260 of them reported that. public opinion also fa vored the prohibition of tobacco-an indication of the conscientious effort made by the editors to distinguish pub lie opinion from their own personal opinions." the article continues. "The highest percentage of replies reporting public opinion favorable to prohibition of tobacco came from Utah where 42 per cent of the editors thought the public were for such a movement. Utah is the only state which Has since adopted an anti cigarette law. The result was fore cast by several of the editors who stated, that the influence of the Mor mon church was against tobacco. The Mormon church is also strong in Idaho which is the other state where the use of tobacco was recently prohibited, but the governor has sighed the bill just passed, in which the prohibitory legislation is repealed. In this state 89 per cent of the edlitors estimate sentiment in their communities as against tobacco prohibition, which, nevertheless, is 6 per cent below the average reported opposition. "The legislature of Tennessee some weeks ago passed al the governor has signed a 1bill repealing the anti Cigarette law of that state. The ques. tionnaire showed 93 per cent of its anti-tobacco legislation. The legisla ture of Arkansas has also passeI a bill repealing its anti-cigarette law.

C. -0 FEED THE CHILD Let no dunce despair, seems to be the working principle of modern ed ication. If a child seems lazy, it may be found, upon scientific inquiry, o be .merely ill or hungry. Feed it or cure it, and you give it energy Wd zest for life. If the schoolboy :ippears to be indolent or stupid, don't Lommit the folly of supposing him so, but study him. You may find that tLhere is just some little thing awry in his brain or throat or stomach. Remove the source of his mental or p~hys ical trouble, and you may dis over a Sir Walter Scott, a Byron, an Ibsen, or a Tolstoi. '"The .i iner intl ividual qualities,'' says Etdgar .James Swift in the .Jan nary Iliarper's, "are often late in re v'ealing themselves. It is the older rac ial tendencies that rule in child hood.

Were it neces sary, the list might be indefinitely extended by adding Newton, Byron, Ibsen, Walter PaLer, Pier'e Curie, and others. Sometimes seeming stupidity is due to interest in subjects outside the little circle round wlich the teth ered children are allowed to graze. Fulton Watt, and Sir Humphry Davy, in early childhood, were already busy with the experiments which were to be told to children after the teachers who called them stupid were forgotten." So let the teacher beware, lest a genius esaepe him. Tolstoi, Goethe, and Dean Swift failed in their univers ity exatniitions; anl "Justus von Liebig whose father was compelled to remove him from the gvmnasium because of his wretched work, at tributed his failure in the school to his utter lack of auditory memory. le could remember little that he heard. Yet his teachers never dis covered this."
