It does not signify much that the

of an introduction anywhere else.
Simplifying the calendar is not

such a troublesome matter that the

twice in two thousand years, and

THE CIGARETTE BILL.
Many people have been opposing
the McLeod cigarette bill, now pend
ing iu the Nebraska legislature, ap
parently in (lie belief that the pro-
IM)sed act would make it easier for
boys to obtain cigarettes.
A certain amount of misrepresen
tation by some of the legislative
opponents of the bill is largely re
sponsible for such an impression.
They have intimated that the Mc
Leod bill will be less restrictive
than the existing law, so far as cig
arette using by boys is concerned.
As a matttr of fact, the McLeod
bill prohibits the sale or giving
away or cigarettes to any person
under 21, fixes a high license fee for
all dealers and provides severe pen
alties for violation of the act includ
ing loss of the license.
The proposed act is enforceable.
It will have public sentiment be
hind it. It will remove frm the
class of law breakers the adult cig
arette users and will make it for
more difficult for a boy to obtain
cigarettes.
The passage of the McLeod bill
will place a workable, enforceable.

stead of the present law, which is
