exports now include various factory products re

The Massachusetts legislature is considering
a bill to prohibit smoking in public in public
parks, on the public streets, in waiting rooms, in
any part of hotels open to the public or in public

$25 and imprisonment for not less than ten days.
The late Senator Hoar, in his devotion to Massa

by the enemies of the Puritans, and were a slander

founded. But the purification bug seems to have
struck the Massachusetts legislature so hard that
it would make the Puritans wonder if the Blue
Laws were anything to be ashamed of in the light
of modern development.

HISTORY BUILDERS.
An Actor Who Was Always Himself.
By DR. E. J. EDWARDS.
One morning In 1S3I, at a time when
Richard Mansfield was making his first
great success as an actor In a play en
titled "Beau Brummell," I breakfasted
with him and afterward scent the fore
noon In his company at his apartments.
These were the entire top floor of an
apartment house which stood directly op
posite Delmonlco's restaurant in Broad
way which was some years ago torn
down to make room for a great offtre
building Mr. Mansfield showed me his

The question I can't answer. But the accuracy
of the statements made by the father we can our

they love it because they arc boys or because they
are encouraged to think it is right for boys to
love it' I believe that the love is due, at the start,
at any rate, to encouragement. If girls received
the same encouragement they would react, most
of them, in the same way. But girls are en
couraged to develop other kinds of interest, con

There is the joker 111 this bill. It discriminates
in favor of a peculiar class rather than in favor of
a particular product. There has of late been

comes law, maj be the foreword to prepare the
way for thc restoration of this aristocracy which
once claimed a monopoly on baked beans. Beans
having been classed as a universal, cheap food
product by the Department of Agriculture, must
give way to some luxury, and tobacco is to be
prohibited to the man who has no private study.
There is, however, danger in such legislation.
It will be remembered that William the Testy,
when governor of New York 111 the early days of
the colony, made a law against smoking, and the
old Dutch burgers loaded their biggest pipes with
their strongest tobacco, and smoked him into a
compromise, bv which he confined the prohibition
to the long pipes of the auter Van Twiller
regime. We have thc authority of the Knicker
bocker History of Xew York, that this compro
mise developed thc great pipe plot, and the di
vision of the people into political parties. There
were the Long Pipes, or aristocratic stand
patters, the Short Pipes, or democrats, and the
Quids, who were thc first mugwumps, who took
a middle ground and chewed
So may the people of Massachusetts be further
divided in their politics, nd another Boston party
headed by former Mayor Fitzgerald dump this
prohibition into the bay. There are so many
short pipes in Boston that it is a serious question
whether thc town can ever again be made ex
clusive, bv trying to prohibit smoking in public

blunder a war with the United Stres of Amer

Thc Herald refers to Germany and "Germany's
attempt to terrorize neutral commerce going to
F.ngland " It justihcs its warning by recalling
that the signal for our civil war was the firing on
thc Star of the West, laden with supplies for
Fort Sumter, and that war with Spain was made
inevitable bv thc sinking of the Maine. Suppose,
asks the Herald, German submarines "ran amuck
l.kc a mad Malay and destroyed the ships and
crews ot ,an neutral, would Germany not then
have lo reckon with that neutral as an enemy'"
Remember thc Star of thc West' Remember the
Maine'
The warning well may startle the people- of
this country out of their dozing in fancied security
from thc strife of Kurope, but it is for Germany
to hcid it. Let any one call it premature if he
wills. It is well to be premature; it will be too
late when an American ship or a ship with Ameri
cans on board is sunk. It is well for the Ameri
can people and those whom they have placed at thc
head of their government to be aroused to the
truth at last that we arc not immune from war.

Toledo. Ohio. Feb 9 The German
Better Leave It to the President
About thc time that President Wilson was ex
plaining cstcrday that action by Congress could
not control the use of the American flag by foreign
ships, and that restrictions on such practices would
have to come through international agreement,
Representative Martin, of South Dakpta, introduced
a bill in thc House intended to do the very thing
President Wilson says cannot be done by legisla
tion. Mr. Martin's measure would make it unlawful
for ships of foreign nations to fly thc American flag
"for the purpose of disguising the nationality of the
vessel or for the purpose of making it appear to be
a vessel of the United States or of LInited States
register." It proposes a fine of from $10,000 to $100,
000 and confiscation of the ship as a penalty. Just
now it would be well for ambitious statesmen to
leave such matters to the President and his
advisers.
Addressing John D. Rockefeller, jr.'s Sunday
school class in New York Andrew Carnegie said:
"The Lord won't punish us for the little pecca
dilloes which we call sins. Hell take them and
rub them out I'm doing that Jike 'Billy' Sunday.
I have seen his pictures. I have not been to hear
him and I don't want to go." Evidently Mr.
Carnegie doesn't want to hear Sunday's opinion
of his peccadilloes.

Albert B. Weimer, who is an excellent lawyer,
assures me that no sale or bargain can take away
from thc Kaiser his right to seize many of those
interned German ships. It doesn't matter who
thc owner may be.
' Thc ships were partly paid for by the German
government with thc express privilege of seizing
flicin at any time for its own use. No German
company can, therefore, give a Itgal title to the
boats. , . ...

A Solid Basis for Optimism.
Optimism has been in the air in the past few
weeks. The Pennsylvania's financing is a sign of
better times not "in the air," but in substance. In
1908 the Pennsylvania sold $40,000,000 forty-year
4 per cent bonds secured by this same consoli
dated mortgage, and shattered the apparently in
destructible pall that was confining American
finance. By so doing the Pennsylvania started the
ball of prosperity rolling for three mighty good
years. The consolidated 4 sold'in 1008 were many
times oversubscribed at 96, at which price the in
vestor got a yield of approximately 4-20 P" cent.
If the present issue of Vs had been sold to give
the same yield the offering price Would have
been about 106. In 1008 a simultaneous offering
was made in the United States and in England.
At that time the New York Central and the Lake
Shore were financing theirjiceds with short-terra
note. Today the new cttisolidated New York
Central Railroad is planning permanent financing.
