No ai'KUiiieiiti ncconipanled the ques
tions and from their form It was tin
posalhle fur any editor to ih'toruitna
the altitude of the questioners.
Out of li.MS editors questioned,
T.S-17 replied according to the summary

represent a combined circulation of
81,8711,040. (If the 7,947 eilllors reply

Only 2i editors, or R ier cent of
those replying believed thpie was any
considerable sentiment fni'inihle tp
tobacco prohibition. There were 174,
or li per cent, In doubt, while L'u failed
to record tlml r Judgment.
Editors' Judgment Unbiased
"It Is of special Interest to note
that Mil editors In answering the first
question, personally favored mich
legislation, itlthough only UIVI of them
reported tlml public (tnlon also fa
vored the prohibition of tnhncco- an
Indlcutlon nf the conscientious effort
made by th Iltors to distinguish pub
lic opinion from their own personal
opinions." the article continues.
"The highest pcrceninue of replies
reporting public opinion favorable to
prohibition of tobacco came from I'tah,
where 41! per cent of the editors
thought the public wer for such a
movement. I'tah Is the only state
which has since adopted an antl
clgarette law. Tho result was fore
cast by Keeral of the editors who
fated that the Influence of the Mor
mon (,'hilrch was against 4oburco. The
Mormon Church Is also strung In Idaho,
which la tl ther state where the use
of tobacco was recently prohibited,
but the governor has signed the bill
Just passed, In which the prohibitory
legislation Is repealed. In this state
SO per cent of the editors estimate
sentiment In their communities as
Against tobrucu prohibition, which,
nevertheless Ib 0 per cent below the
.average reported opposition.
"The legislature of Teiine.' some
wecVs nRo passed and the governor
baa signed a bill regaling the antl
clgarette law of that state. The ques
tionnaire s' nwed !W per rent of Its
editors bp'Vved the public against
anti-tobio i legislation. The legisla
ture of Ail.ansas has also passed a
bill repealing lis nntl-clgarette law. In
this stale PI per rent, of the editors
reported against tobacco prohibition.
Arizona's Practical Joke
"A hilt. Introduced In the current
session of the legislature of Arizona
to prohibit smoking In public dining
rooms and other public plnccs, was
first amended to prohibit the consump
tion In public of peanuts, chewing
gum, tea and coffee and then defeated
by the senate. The questionnaire
returns from that slate were K per
cent 'no.'
"In Iowa where the 'no's wen 95
per cent a hill to repeal the antl
cigarette law has been passed nnd
signed by the governor.
"A hill to reienl the antl-clgarette
law In Kansas, with SO per cent 'no's,'
la receiving the attention of Its legis
lature. I.ust year a petition for a
referendum In Oregon to prohibit the
use of lobniT" failed of sulllclent nlg-
PHMre to bring the qneslton to fi
vote, and W per ceni of tho editors
declare their puhllc against legislation.
In Oklahoma an anll clgsrette hill has
been reported unfavorably In the
house. The editors of that stale re
ported 94 per cent against Its public
auppuft.
"Outside of Utah, where i. nun
Influence predominates," tha ai. ,le
concludes, "the antl-toliaoco move
ment appears, as In the case of Ten
nessee, Arkansas and lowa, to ba los
ing ground and Is not to any consid
erable eitont supported by the peo
ple." The friends of tobacco feel particu
larly elated over this showing. Inas

I wonder docs she care for me as much as I do for her?
I know her eyes, they sparkle bright, whenever I am near;
Bin then perhaps they always do, for every friend, you know,
And they sparkle most forme, just because 1 wish it so.
I wonder does she know how dear her presence is to me ?
Ami if she does, oh! can she care, and can it ever be
That mine shall be as dear to her? My Hose; so rich and rare,
My own sweet, precious Kirincs Rose beyond compare.
I wonder as she reads these lines, I wonder if she knew
Why the Southern rose was fairest of any rose that grew,
And the rose that gave the rose to me, the Nose I loved the best?
I wonder if I ever by her dear love shall be blest?
Shi-:.
1 wonder does he think of me as much as I of him?
I w onder does his heart grow warm, whenever I come in?
I wonder does he love me best? Ah! would that I could tell;
And did he write to me these lines I love to read so well ?
Ur was he ihinking fondly of some other fair-haired girl,
Whose eyes are dark as mine are, whose teeth are white as pearl,
When he wrote these tender lines on the rose that some one gave,
That tilled all his heart wiih gladness and made it fondly crave.
Another rose more precious still, more sweet, more rich, more
The fair rose that gave it to him, the Rose beyond compare,
1 wonder was it some one else, or if that Rose was me?
I wonder does he love me best, I wonder could it be ?

"PLANTED COTTON."
Last year the farmers tilled the soil,
They plained, hoed and how they toiled.
liven took in land they had forgotten.
Just to plant their precious cotton.
They planted cotton.
They worked on in sun and rain,
Forgot the fields of waving grain;
Smiled and boasted together at noon,
Waiching their prospects nourish and boom.
They planted cotton.
Ureams of future smiled at dawn,
Fncouraging this good work to go on;
They coumed their hopes of endless gain.
They planted cotton.
Some did ride and wear neckties,
Others walked and dined on pies
They surely were happy, these farmers all
Till summer glided into fall.
They planted cotton.
I larvest came, cotton futures ran high,
(iladden the heart, and dazzled the eye;
Fverything forgotten, bill unpaid,
While they talked of cotton grade.
They planted cotton.
But now, alas! Such dreadful fate,
For the Farmers' anxious hearts did wait; .
Cotton went down, as never before
Bankers, merchants, planters were sore.
They planted cotton.
Bankers tore their hair and swore.
Fertilizer men wanted all, and more;
And creditors shouted pay, pay, pay,
Till farmers are distracted and dismayed.
They planted cotton.
They must plant their precious prize.
King Cotton yet may touch the skies;
There is no dresses for country lasses,
Not even enough to pay the taxes.
They planted cotton.
