Sicklv sentimentalisni is running away with ilr. Aryan's 'coinmoii sense. Personally he is a good fighter and quite a robust indiv idual when it comes to a sera) of any kind or in protecting his or the people's rights, lie has given many demonstrations of courage, lint he is act ing under false premises in this instance. Americans do not favor participation in the European war, under European monarchs, in settlement of European quarrels. If war conies, it will be to uphold American rights, trampled upon by (iermany, and not as an ally of the entente allies to aid their quarrel. The dispute with (.iermany has no connection with the allies' dispute with Germany. Mr. Piryan is wrong when he would have the nation adopt a peace-al-aiiv-pricc doctrine for peace is not worth while if purchased at too great a sacrifice and American citizenship is not worth while if not worth fight ing for. America has nothing in common with te lust of Euro pean monarchs for aggression and power tit the expense of humanity. "When these monarchs, in pursuance of this lust, attempt to deprive Americans of their own rights, it is not the part of a self-respecting nation to meekly submit to the aggression, which would only be the forerunner of future tyranny. Xo one has tried harder or more sincerely to keep the nation out of war than the president. No one hopes more fervently that (.Iermany will not declare war by further overt acts than lie. Hut if war comes, it is the patriotic duty of every one to support the president, Mr. liryan along with the rest. Feudalism rules Europe. Piarbarism is still rampant. The golden rule remains only a beautiful theory. Brute force controls tire world ami the mailed fist is still the mightiest. Out of Armageddcn may come I'topia with its internationalism when Mr. I'ryan's theories may be prac ticalbut we are living in the age of nationalism with all the penalties and handicaps it imposes including the right of self-protection. " THE CIGARETTE BILL RElMfKSKXTATIVE SWEENEY of Josephine county, who. from the number and character of the bills he has introduced in the legislature, seems ambitious to regu late the universe, has amongst his other measures a bill making it a crime to smoke cigarettes. This measure is an infringement of the constitutional rights of the individual and wherever tried has proved im possible of enforcement. Sale of cigarettes to minors is already forbidden, and this is as far as either practical or desirable. Cigarette smoking cannot possibly injure any one but the individual, and is not in any sense a public nuisance unless we class both cigar and pipe smokers as nuisances. In Washington such a law was in existence for four years, during which the actual consumption of cigarettes increased IHM) percent. The bill was finally repealed be cause it was found impossible to enforce it. The only result was that the local dealers lost their commissions and the money went out of the state for their purchases. If we bar the cigarette, the next step wil' lie to bar tobacco. If we deprive people of indulgence ;n the sn all vices we drive them to indulging in the bigger ones. Human nature will stand just so much repression, and then comes the reaction which sweeps away barriers and goes the other extreme. ( Yoniwcll and the Puritans only prepared the way for the orgy of sin under the restorative as the pendulum swung the other way. l!y the law of nature, moderation is virtue, excess i crime. The only harm in the use of cigarettes is when they are used iinnioilcrat ely--and the individual luusi reg ulate that himself. The person who finds smoking an in jury must cut it out but that is no reason for dcpi ivir.c his fellow man of a harmless consolation.
