The legislature which recently closed its work fer the season had a large number of measures before it of more Or less importance, not the least of which was the new Chicago ‘charter to furnish that city, with new“ and exceptional powers made necessary by its growth and .increasing demands for executive government.’ But no measures upon which the legislative assembiy'has given time and thought can compare in importance with those which bear A W lron Home.

Of these the greatest measure is the local option bill which will become law on July l next. This bill gives power to any town. pre- ‘ cinct. city or village to determine the question of saloons within their own domain. The .simple question ”Yes" or “No" on this one issue will settle the question. ' Heretofore there have been many local option votes. but.they were not effective in law. since the council or other governing body could ignore the vote and license or not license saloons as they pleased. Clearly. if it be claimed that the people have a right to a saloon when they desire it. by the same rule they have a right‘to protect themselves against the sa- loon. It is now up to the voters them- selves to decide. although it is quite likely that the liQuor men will test the question in the higher courts so as "to gain a little more time. At the annual meeting of the Anti-Saloon League‘held on June 4th in Chicago the conflict to.-se- cure the. pasSage of the bill was recited by Supt. Shields. and his description scunded like -~ an, ac- count of a siege and a «battle, in which both sides struggled des- perately; but patience and heroic watching and working combined with the spirit of righteousness was ultimately victorious. Arrayed against the Mother-love and the deep anxiety for the boYs; led only by one woman, Miss Lucy Page Gaston, was a tremendous combination of the tobaCCo trust. It is ,strangerhow bitterly and persistently men will contend for the right to invest in, and. profit by. a- vicious »and destructive blisiness. There are men who will invest capital for profit in the vilest traflic on earth and then claim the rights of vested interests as though there was no such thing as a wrong in a brigand or a poi- son vendor. ‘ No one seriously believe that the cigarette is harmless to boys while there is abundant evidence that it has become as deadly as the opium habit of China and about as common among the boys of Ametica as chewing gum is among the giijls. The BEFMiss Gaston has won a ‘i-Cigarette Bill. great triumph. In many states the deadly cigarette is outlawed. but to win a victory over the com- bined forces of the wholesale to- bacca trusts and the retail dealers in her own state was her greatest desire. This she has now achieved and Springfield juniors and mothers have had a celebration. with Mrs. Gaston as the central figure. The bill as passed pro- vides: ' Section 1 prohibits the manufacture, sale or giving away of cigarettes ”con- taining \n dqlctcriuus substance. inâ€" cluding ”gum." under penalty of a maximum fine of 81(1) or xmprisonment for no; mot: :1:an thirgxfiayg m jailn “m” ""‘2' .333 pm "mu in: uic of ci- garettes by minon.
