The country the one that has
made the control of tobacco it's ulti-
mate object has been least exploited
The beef trust has been stripped of its
last semblanco of dignity and paradcd
both in private and in public. The oil
monopoly has been made odious in
every corner OF the inhabited globe.
Even the comparatively innocuous pic
trust has been shorn of its appearance
of hygienic rectitude. 1t is the so
called American tobacco trust that has
escaped tho attention of the Ida Tar
bells of the present moment
II is evident that. theoretically at
least. the American public Is not
friendly to anything that masquerades
under the name of trust. Nowadays it
lis not the fashion to discriminate be-
tween good and bad trusts There are,
OF course, few liberal minded and
ultra conservative folk who are so set
i'm their way that they refuse 10 be led

and his frank avowal of the fact has
added tremendously TO his reputation.

Among the reasons why a crusade !
against the tobacco monopoly has not |

be rcckoned the fact that tobacco is /
not an article of universal consump- (
lion. There still remain many per
sons who are utterly Indifferent to the .
controversy IN any form. No single
phase of the discussion appeals to
them. According to their opinion, the
tobacco business is not legitimate
industry and anything that is likely to
curtail its influence is salutary.
Reduced to a working basis the case
NJ the American Tobacco company is
NOT far different from that of the other
trusts Practically it is not possible TO
separate its responsibility in the mat

membcred that the cultivation of the
plant is business conducted
in good faith by large number of ex-
cellent American citizens and that
anything which interferes with their

the whole country
1t is chiefly for this reason. perhaps,
that the tobacco trust has escaped the
