We would like to again vail to your remembrance the law on previously published in this column: Sec. 1, Chap. TO: That any person who shall sell, give or furnish nar-coti.e- s, any eb'ar, cigarette or tobacco in narany form, opium or any cither cotic in any form, to any minor under eighteen years of ago in the be guilty of a misdeinea-noand upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not less than 10. nor more than 100. Notwithstanding this law we have .seen boys from four years upwards smoking in this city. Parents seem to be very negligent witn regard to their children, or they would see that this law was enforter-ritory,sh- all r, in stores in Salt Lake where boys were bu vin' tobacco in its different forms. AVe remonstrated with one merchant and he said he never inquired who they wanted it for but took it for ced. : Repeatedly have we been We ventured to say to him if he knew the poisons in them he would never touch another. Quickly he withdrew, and turning to the woman we asked her how she could sell like that. them to young boys "Oh," she said, "if I don't somebody else will." We had heard the same argument brought forward by at. liquor venders and we looked her with a feeling of shame and sorrow, that for the sake of a paltry-fe- lchiur the counter. w pence she would barter her mother love. If the sale was confined to the tobacco stores on the main streets it would not be so pernicious, but the ward stores have them for sale. Three bvs of one family were smoking cigarettes and when told of the poison they contained said if they had know that they would never have smoked them, and stopped. Thinking their mother would be delighted we told her about it but she was quite indignant, saying her boys never smoked because she had not been able to detect the lightest odor of tobacco ' about them. These boys wen? wiser than their mother, for even boys learn very quickly the different means used to disguise it. I have never talked with but one man who, when honest in his reply, but was sorry he had the tobacco habit, and only one father who was willing his boys should use it. On the contrary, men who use it will advise boys never to touch it. Bovs are 'reat imitators and like to do what father does. Full well |
