COMMENT & DISCOMMENT
In our litany for today r.nist he in
cluded a prayer to be delivered from
pcientifie fools, especially the ones who
have hyKiene on the bruin. The lat
ent representative of this type to come
within our ken is Dr. Joseph French
Johnson, dean of New York univer
sity, who has decided that if women
must smoke, they should smoke pipes.
"I certainly think a pipe iR the most
fensible thin a woman can smoke,"
the dean is quoted as saying to the
reporters who had an ear out to catch
pvery word of wisdom the great man
was uttering. Ami then the dean pro
ceeds to give n lot of smoking in
formation that interests us strangely.
The pipe is the least injurious way
of using tobacco, Joseph tells the
girls. The smoker inhales loss nico
tine, he continues. He hints that he
rather prefers that women shouldn't
rise Uie filthy weed at all. "1 might
be a little grieved myself to see a pipe
stuck l)otween the lips of a pretty
girl, but it's her own affair if she
cares to do it."
The dean may rot be exactly posted
as to the comparative effects of the
Iipe, c'grrette and cigar, but he cer
tainly knows the way to make a hit
with the co-eds. He tells them it's
their own affair, by which he shows
that he is a deep student of psychol
ogy and knows that if the dear crea
tures want to smoke, nothing he can
say will slop them. He stipulates,
however, that he would prefer that
they smoke clay pipes, changing to
a fresh one each day, for that will be
much more hygienic.
Of course, the attitude of the pro
fessor has startled New York city, or
that portion of it which reads the
newspapers, and pipe manufacturers
are already preparing a fancy line of
pipes to appeal to the feminine smok
ers who will adopt the hygienic sug--estior..
Some of the.e days we'll see
the vanity cases made even larger,
with room for a pipe und a can of
"Tu" next to the powder pulT nnd
the lip stick. It'll le most convenient
for the young man who wants to bor
row a match or the makin's.
There seems to be a regular con
spiracy on the part of some of the
intellectual elite to make the path
way easier for the women who want
to smoke and there's more of them
than you have any idea exist. Dr.
Aristine Munn-Recht, dean of women
in the same university which Joseph
adorns, disagrees with the pipe the
ory, but adds quite naively: "Eth
ically the women have the same right
to smoke as the men."

Dr. Aristine is a woman and has an
uncommonly pretty name, if we may
he allowed to say so. She talks some
thing like a sprinkling can, but this
may be excused in a pretty woman.
We hope that she answers this de
scription, and it is our sincere belief
that she does, for only a pretty woman
could get away with such nonsense and
continue as dean of women.
The SeottsblufT council is all exer
cised because that city has not been
drawing interest on funds on deposit
in the local banks. We are surprised
that a city of that juze, which is one
of the few places in these western
wilds to "appreciate big business,"
can be so far behind the times. Alli
ance has been drawing interest on
city funds for years.
Miss Lucy Page Gaston may be out
of a job, but her soul goes marching
on. Miss Lucy is the dear old soul
who has been warring against the
deadly cigarette for years and years-
in fact, just about as long as there
has been any money in the reform
business. She discovered this particu
lar graft in Kansas, and has worked
it for all it was worth, beginning her
activities after Carrie Nation had
pre-empted the saloon field and had
secured a patent on a hatchet for
smashing bar fixtures.
Miss Lucy was, to put it vulgarly,
canned from her own ler-gue a few
short weeks ago. It seems that she
took in too much territory. Had she
confined her efforts to Kansas, she
would still be drawing a salary. But
things looked too prod for Lucy. Shf
couldn't stand prosperity. She figured
it all out: If the people of Kansas
could contribute enowvh to keep Jiei
living pretty well and pay her travel
ing expense;-, th whole nation wou'd
come acvo-s with crcn more. So fie
formed branches of her league in va
rious other state-., nnd her ambition,
like Cue-ar's, proved her undoing.
It seems that the league and Miss
Lucy published a mairaz'ne, known s
Coffin Nails, tlio sale of which swelled
the league's coffers. This magazine
has been published at Chicago, and
MI.-s Lucy has been editing it from
her home town of Topeka. She de
cided she wanted it nearer home, but
the league wanted it left in the Windy
City. They won the battle, and in tl i
controversy that followed, Lucy found
herself gently shoved out of a job.
The league that she had raised from
a mere baby to a grown man turned
her out in the cold in the middle of
a hard winter.
