The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1902-11-20

The Cigarnmkers' Official Journal
contains the text OF an address to re-
tail and wholesale dealers regarding
the operations of the American To-
bacco company, which is and has for
long time past been engaged in an et-
fort 10 secure for itself monopoly of
the business The circular points out
that the tobacco trust is notoriously
unfair, in that it refuses to employ
union labor. BY employing child labor
it seeks to produce its wares al SO low
cost that it can successfully under
sall other manufacturers, and In this
manner drive them ont Of business or
compel them to sell their plants to the
trust. Its efforts 10 destroy the union
have been persistent. The cigarmaS-
ers' union points cut that the only
hope Of combating the eucroachment
OF this grasping monopoly lies in the
general refusal of all fairminded rc-
tailers and wholesalers to handle any
brand Of tobacco or cigars that does
not bear the union labaL In conclu- |
sion the circular contains this intelli-
gent appeal 10 the dealers whom il
seeks to enlist in its righteous cause,
we ask YOU. in the name Of good, |
sound business policy, and in the name
of humanity as well, to lend us your
moral assistance, to purchase and |
handle nothing but union blue label |
cigars. In doing so you not only as
sist a worthy cause. bur do what is
Of infinitely more vital Importance to
and preserve your
own business interests"

THE WORD SYSTEM

The word system" of spelling that
is now being employed in the public
schools is coming in for severe con-
demnation from the press of the en-
tire northwest. The oregonian precipi-
tated the discussion when it quoted
letters from high school graduates
who had submitted applications for
positions. The Post-Intenigencer and
Tacoma Ledger have brought out the
fault. which lies in the word SYSTEM
above referred to. The Ledger char
acterizes it as intrinsically and wholly
had. and adds that it is the essence
NJ stupidity. In spelling book pre-
pared for pupils the WORD system is
exemplitied BY the following lines:
sAlfed Ten-i-sun woz poet;
Hi rote about king named Arthur
The naits wer Oliver kaind, and TUX
car of the sic and ov the pur."
On the opposite page appears the
English OF this idiocy. The Ledger
maintains that such production, plac-
ed before the youth who is at school
for the purpose of learning, is an out
rage. 1t points out that there is no
reason for filling the mind of child
with nonsense and expecting that in
later years it win sift this out for itself,
The Ledger's indignation runs into
sarcasm when it denounces the method
