Carrie Nation, fresh from a fourhour argument with a bottle stopper salesman on a train from Columbus, 0., stopped off a few moments in the union station at Indianapolis Tuesday night, en route to Peoria, 111., where she is to lecture. She had time enough to give a reporter a fierce lecture on cigarette smoking, in a high-pitched rasping voice. “Go way from me, you cigarette ’fiend,’* she shouted. “You smell bad. I won’t talk to a reporter that smokes cigarettes. You ought to he ashamed of yourself, a great big fellbw like you. You call yourself a man, but you’re nothing but a two-legged fiend. You tell your editor that he’s hard up for brains, when he hires you!” But when the smoker picked up her luggage and carried it to her car she subsided, and confided in him that Indianapolis will be a hell as long as there are saloons in it. “But cigarettes—l’d rather have a boy of mine drink than smoke.” Whereupon she beamed and regretted that she had sold her last hatchet, because sh& would have liked to give the reporter one for a Souvenir.

How Weed Law Violators Are Treated In Canada.

There are some admirable things in the Canadian laws, and some of the best laws in this country are paterned after the laws of that land. C. W. Duvall brought a Nanton, Canada, paper into our office today that showed how the weed nuisance is treated there. Every property owner is responsible for the cutting and destruction of noxious weeds, and recently several property owners were haled into court and fined, one large concern that had considerable vacant property being fined S4O and costs for failure to cut the weeds. Out of twen-ty-five arrests there were twentythree convictions. Sam Duvall, a former resident of this city and a brother of C. W., is successfully engaged in the piano and organ business at Nanton. Rensselaer needs an ordinance that will require property owners, whether resident or not, to keep all the weeds cut and then it needs the law-8 enforced. The people who take pride in their property and keep it clean are at the mercy of the careless, thoughtless and indiffeVent ones who do not. Let us have a general demand for such a law and let the vacant lot owners be required to help keep the city clean. These lots are held for speculation and the owners should maintain them properly even if it does cost something to do it. Now is the time to cut the weeds, and it should not be done at general expense. Each property should take care of its own weed cutting.
