"OUR PAPER" published at the Concord juno
tion Mass. Reformatory, in it's issue Of July 21st,
contained canny, capricious article against prison
ers being allowed tobacco. Some people must de-
rive considerable pleasure when seated in up
hostered chair, with fifteen cent cigar caught be-
tween their jeweled fingers and with pen and per-
fumed paper write lengthy screed against the use
of tobacco. What heaps of satisfaction it must be
to them to know they have succeeded in depriving
another of an article which they themselves have no
objection to using. These reformers are mere hum
bugs. Who would think of wearing one trouser leg
just because fool fanatic persisted in appearing
in that form? If Mr. Torpedo enjoys the Of
tobacco Mr. Fanatic has no more business of trying
to deprive him Of it than he has of trying to stop
farmer from putting china eggs under his hens. Ye
gods! Just think what pert angels they trying
to make out of us prisoners. It is simply outra-
geous. If the members of prison board per-
sonay total abstaners that fact hardly justfes them
in depriving their helpless charges of the of the
weed l am unable to ascertain in what precise
manner the nonuse of tobacco will act toward re-
forming prisoners unless it be through the mag
tive powers. Personally of tobacco
and shall continue to use it as long as the pesky
microbes persist in prancing around abundantly
as they do at present.
