The writer reaches the conclusion , thai while there has hepii Increased agltathm and letffMntlvc itctlvlty on the subjcci of tobacco followltiK the succeflH uf th drive for prohlhltlon of liquor the efforU of reformers seek tug to ahollMh tobacco have nu KHiural Hiipport. Thlg opinion Is based on the runulta of (he questionnaires on the subject sent out to newspaper edltom of the couinry hy the 1'reHS Her vice i'oinpuiiy of Nw York City. The queNilons asked were: (1) Io you favor the enactuieut of laws prohibiting the personal use of tobacco hy adults? (2) In your Jutlginent does the Ken- eral sentiment of your community favor such legislation? (3) Is the use of tobacco personal ly objectionable to you? Nu arguments accompanied the ques tions and from their form It whs Im possible for tiny editor to determine the altitude of the questioners. Out of 12, MB editors questioned, 7,8-17 replied according to the summary given. ThfHe. editors, It Is estimated, represent a combined circulation of Sl.870.fM4. Of the 7,847 editors reply ing, 7,30ft, or 05 per cent, represent public sentiment In their communities as opposed to anti-tobacco legislation, Only 2W editors, or B per cent of those replying believed there was any considerable sentiment fii'U'iible tp tobacco prohibition. There were 174, or 2 per cent, in doubt, while 20 fnlted to record their Judgment. Editors' Judgment Unbiased lTt Is of special Interest to note that M0 editors In answering the first question, personally favored such legislation, iiltbough only 200 of them reported that public ojnlon also fa vored the prohibition of tobacco- an Indication of the conscientious effort rrinde by the editors to distinguish pub lic opinion from their own personal opinions," the article continues. "The highest percentage of replies. reporting public plulon favorable to prohibition of tobacco came from Utah, where 42 per cent of the editors thought the public wer for such a movement. Utah Is the only stnte Which has since adopted an anti cigarette law. The result whs fore cast hy several of the editors who stated that the influence nf the Mor mon Church was against atobacro. 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was recently prohibited, but the governor has signed the bill Just passed, In which the prohibitory legislation Is repealed. In this state 89 per cent of the editors estimate sentiment Ik their communities ns against tobro.cn prohibit Inn. which, nevertheless, is C per cent below the .average reported opposition. "The legislature of Tennessee some weeks ago passed and the governor has signed a bill repealing the nntl clgarette law of that state. The ques tionnaire s'..wcd 03 per cent "f Its editors be'rved the public against antl-toha legislation. Tin- legisla ture of Ail iinstm has also passed a bill repealing If antl-clgarette law. In this state 04 per cent, of the editors reported against tobacco prohibition. Arizona's Practical Joke "A bill, Introduced In the current session of the legislature of Arizona to prohibit smoking In public dining roomB and other public places, was. first amended to prohibit the consump tion In public of peanuts, chewing gum, tea and coffee and then defeated hy the senate. The questionnaire returns from that state were 02 per cent 'no. "In Iowa where the 'no's were 95 per cent a hill to repenl the antl cigarette law has been passed and signed by the governor. "A bill to repent the antl-clgarette law In Kansas, with HO per cent 'no's,' Is receiving the Attention of Its legis lature. Last year a petition for a referendum In Oregon to prohihlt the use of tnhiirco failed of suhVlenr big natures to bring the. question to a vote, and 0, per cent of the editors declare their public against legislation. In Oklahoma itn unll-clgarette hilt has been reported uufavurnbly In the house. The editors of Urn! Kittle re ported 04 per e.nt agatnst Its public support. "Outside of I) tub, where Mo mi on Influence predomlnaiHS," the article concludes, "tbo Hiitl-tohacuo move ment appears, at In the case of Ten nessee, Arkansas and Iowa, to ha los ing ground and Is mt to any consid erable client supported by the peo ple." The friends of tobacco feel particu larly elated over this allowing.

I wonder does she care for nie as much as I do for her? I know her eyes, ihey sparkle bright, whenever I am near; But then perhaps they always do, for every friend, you know, And they sparkle most forme, just because I wish it so. I wonder does she know how dear her presence is to me ? And if she does, oh! can she care, and can it ever be That mine shall be as dear to her? My Wose; so rich and rare, My own sweet, precious Kirmes Kose beyond compare. 1 wonder as she reads these lines, 1 wonder if she knew Why the Southern rose was fairest of any rose that grew, And the ruse that gave the rose to me, the Rose 1 loved the best? I wonder if I ever by her dear love shall be blest? SHI:. I wonder does he think of me as much as 1 of him? 1 wonder 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 nie these lines 1 love to read so well ? Or was he thinking 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 with gladness and made it Fondly crave. Another rose more precious still, more sweet, more rich, more rare, The lair rose that gave it to him, the Rose beyond compare, 1 wonder was it some one else, or if that Rose was me? 1 wonder does he love me best, I wonder could it be ? it PLANTED COTTON, n Last year the farmers tilled the soil, They planted, 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. Watching their prospects flourish and boom. They planted cotton. Dreams of future smiled at dawn, lincouraging this good work to go on; They counted 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 fanners all Till summer glided into fall. They planted cotton. Harvest came, cotton futures ran high, Gladden the heart, and dawled the eye; liverything 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. F'ertilizer 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 priie, King Cotton yet may touch the skies; There is no dresses for country lasses, Not even enough to pay the taxes. They planted cotton. Miss Olive Izlar.
