The value of chewing tobacco as help to ruminative habits that lead 10 good statesmanship was one of the things that Woodrow Wilson, presi- dent of Princeton University, touched upon in his lecture yesterday at Co., lumbia University on "The Senate of the United States" says the New York ShR. Dr. Wilson was pointing out the fact that the Western Sem ator as a rule Is more valuable than the Eastern man, because he comes from part of the country that is productive of thought. In the Fast according to Dr. Wilson. men have no opinions because they do not have time to think.
 II you live in a place. said the president of Princeton, where vou can sit around stove in A country store and spit tobacco juice into 2 sa"auSt box you are much more likely 10 have opinions than if vou live Tn New York. Whatever vo,, may think of the habit of chew;no tobacco, l want to suggest that chewing something leads to rp1;nN ative habits.
