ISSUED TODAY
TOBACCO TRUST DISCLA1Ms RE-
POSSIBILITY FOR RAIDS.
None of Its Product Purchased in
Affected Territory--Not Opposed
to Farmers Associations.

IA NEW YORK. January 3O-Relatiye to
the recent disturbances in Kentucky, the
American Tobacco Company has issued
the following statement: I'm Kentucky
there are several distinct types of to-
bacco Srown-burley tobacco Green river
tobacco and dark fired tobacco. The
American Tobacco Company is large
buyer of hurley tobacco. using approxi-
nlately 60 per cent Of the total production
1t uses also large quantities of Green
river tobacco. taking. perhaps, a third
OF the total production. OF the dark fired
tobacco the American Tobacco Com
pany uses substantially none. but the
American Snuff Company, in which COM
pany the American Tobacco Company
owns stock. uses about Ii per cent of the
total production.
There has been no disorder in Ken
ton: there has been very little disorder
in the Green river section. but the dis
order has been in the dark fired section
Of Kentucky and Tennessee-at Hopkins
vile. Rus-ellville. Clarksville and other
points. This dark fired tobacco is bought
principally by buyers representing the
tobacco manufacturing government mo-
nopolies OF Italy. France and Spain. but
to some extent by the American Snuff Com
pany and to some extent by the Imperial
Tobacco Company of Great Britain. The
affairs of the American Tobacco Com
pany. the Imperial Tobacco Company and
the American Snuff Company have been

American Tobacco Company or American
Snuff Company and the Imperial Tobacco
Company. or between any of these COM
panies and any government or other pur-
chaser.
1T is simply .and wholly untrue that
there is any contest between the tobacco
growers or tobacco dealers in Kentucky
and the so-called tobacco trust. Where
disorder has occurred the So-called to-
bacco trust is the smallest factor in the
purchase of tobacco. Where the so-called
tobacco trust is the largest purchaser of
tobacco there has been no disorder or
lawleSSneSS.
Tobacco Prices Higher Now.
GAS matter of fact also. the prices
now being paid for leaf tobacco grown
in Kentucky and elsewhere are very much
higher than they were ten years ago, and
their trend has been constantly upward
since the so-called tobacco trust was or
ganized. 4 & So
''The land on which; tobacco is grown
can be used to grow other crops: hurley
tobacco is grown on the famous blue
grass lands, the Virginia leaf is largely
grown on land well adapted to the
growth of cotton. 1t is uncomfortable that
the se-called tobacco trust (even IL 1t had
q monopoly in the purchase of tobacco.
which 1t has not. not being the purchaser
directly or indirectly of half the tobacco
produced in the United States) would at
tempt to depress the price of leaf and
thus drive the farmers to these other
crops.
"'rhe so-called tobacco trust is con-
stantIy buying t6bacco in Kentucky and
elsewhere and is always ready to pur-
chase tobacco from any one. whether an
individual or association, that has 1t for
sale 1t has never thrown any obstacle in
the way of the organization or success of
any OF the so-called farmers associa-

cHEApENING OUR STANDARDS

Now that it has become necessary
for the great hotels, rail and steam
ship lines, of the country, and other
concerns directly in touch with the
American public, to brand their ar
ticles Of virtu ana utility with the
craven charge that this or that ar
ticle has been Stolen from the -"
in order to shame and deter the SOU
venir- hunter, it is time for us to look
ourselves in the face and reckon with
our consciences and Our standards
This is a notorious fact The GUS
tom is spreading everywhere and is
serving its end admirably. But it
does not sound normal, nor comfort
ing. The fashionable faddist, or the
unfas shionable for the matter of that,
has no call to steal the things that
may be bought. Polite petty-larceny
les as inexcusable and as amenable to
penalty as the grosser and coarser
act of theft, and the man or woman
guilty of it has no claim to immunity
that does not apply to the down
right thief. The women are pecul-
iarly to blame for the growth OF the
silly crime of stealing souvenirs; they
have gone from bad to worse in the
vain and prohtless pursuit until, de-
spite their culture, style, place, and
all the concessions admittedly theirs.
they are making themselves and their
country contemplate at home and
abroad, and no better proof is needed
than the inexorable rule now in
vogue at all points of travel and re-
sort to bring them to their senses.

CUBE ROOT.
Do You Know the Method Of Extract
ina Il Without Pain?

Think OF the inestimable value OF
knowing how 10 extract cube root! All,
there Is the priceless boon! Knowing
that has saved US money many and
many time. to say nothing OF the
social blunders 1t has assisted us to
avoid. Do | know yet how 1t was
done? Certainly. know 1t just as
well as II II were yesterday that stud.
led 1t. You take the number whose
cube root is paining 1t so that nothing
but extraction can relieve 1t, put 1t
down on piece Of paper or on your
slate and divide 1t of into periods Of
three figures each. Write 4-11-44 to
the left, multiply that by 300, divide It
by something. then pour some red Ink
on your handkerchief. tell teacher you
have the nosebeed and 60 home.
That's the way | usually did It, No
doubt 1t is done much the same way
by the ingenious youth Of the present
generation. -
Is thefe successful man living to-
day and holding up his head among
other successful men who cannot pain
lessly extract the cube root without
giving the number an anaesthetic? II
so, he should he ashamed Of himself.
He is freak, and he attained distinc-
tion by n fuke. Some day the muck
rakers will get to probing around, and
when they discover that he can't eX-
tract the cube root of anything his
career will be ended and his gray hairs
will sink In sorrow to dishonored,
1imson grown grave. The jalls and
asylums are filed with vacant faced
and craven hearted wretches who
never learned the way to remove
cube root, no matter If the number con-
tanning it was threatened with blood
poison. They don't know whether to
run a horsehair loop down its throat,
as in the case OF gapes, or whether to
use tweeZers.
Let us try togimpress upon our chill
dren-by precept-the Importance Of
cube root extraction, but let us have
business elsewhere in case they ask
us to show them how.-Strickland w.

TAME POLITICS.

So far there seems TO be no partic.
ular snap in the national political
game now afoot. Schedules and
platitudes and formalities have the
first call and there is no immediate
promise OF an old-fashioned, red-hot,
vituperative and absorbing campaign,
Even the issues that have been set
up TO be knocked down are tame and
unappea!ing, and it looks as if there
was to be woful lack OF ginger this
year, unless Brer' Theodore shall
manage to inject some snaps and
snarls that will make things worth
while, later on.
This negative condition is due in a
great measure to the thorough and
ceaseless coaching the people have
had of late years at the hands OF the
President and his official stalwarts.
Their incumbency OF the great posts
at Washington has been characteriz-
ed by the broadest Of detailed candor
in all public matters; great and live
questions have been put squarely be-
fore the masses for discussion, diges-
ton and disposal, that few years
ago were religiously withheld from
wide and popular knowledge, let
alone public action and determina-
ton: and we believe it the best pol.
icy ever followed. This is no pau
perized, stupid, tradition-ridden, sub
merged people, to be harnessed to
the chariot wheels OF the bosses" of
the land, and the development of pub
lie interest and concern and knowl-
edge of national affairs, OF late years
has had a sharp tendency to minimize
what of that curse we have known in
the past and to set up blazoned bar
riers against its further domination.
We hope the campaign will unotld
some principles for trenchant thought
and rational action by the whole peo-
pie in order that we may not get out
Of the habit of thinking for ourselves,
which as living and moving doc
trine that will serve us all with
nearer honesty and intensity the
public sense of responsibility in all
governmental matters OF moment.
We have left government too much
to the interested few in the past and
it is time we were taking up our
birth-right in earnest and using it as
it was devised and bequeathed by the
fathers Of the land.

ECONOMY: CITIES AND MEN,

There is a widespread commercial
and industrial lull sweeping over this
country from East to West, and the
fore-taste of it is upon this marge
now. There is a notable allegiance in
all kinds OF development and business
is tagging and sagging on account OF
it, everywhere. 1t is not essential
that it shall go to point of panic
conditions; il is but the reaction Of
the presidential period, and will, we
believe, pass with the ides of No
vember because of the renewed con-
fdence that will spring from the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Taft.
But all the same it behooves men
TO go slowly and draw upon their re-
serve source of patience; and cities,
likewise and draw upon their reserve
sources of patience; and cities, like
wise. 1t is one of those periods that
inspires care and deliberation in pub
lie and private expenditure; when the
resources of the country are care
fully husbanded and people look ask
ance upon unnecessary outlay of all
kinds; not with spirit of denial and
depreciation OF the things essential
and desired, but upon the cautious
basis Of meeting exigencies and pla-
eating dubious conditions. 1t is not
necessary to hypothecate the future
in any way; that will take care of it
self; it always does; there comes the
season of uplift and cheer and pros
perity, on the heels of just such
spells as this. We are up, and down,
since there is no stable level to
which we can cling and advance, un-
der the rule Of human action Of to-
day. 1t is simply question of "cut-
ting our cloth" and making the best
of a season we have every right, in
the light of history and experience,
to look for every four years. There
is nothing abnormal about it.
