THE MAN and MS JOB
By Herbert ]. Hapgood.

We have heard good deal OF tall
not only lately but for years past
about the cigarette fend. He ID point
ed out to us as horrible example
for the rising generation. and a al
synonym for failure itself.
Everybody knows that too many
cigarettes are bad for . man. They
decrease his physical efficiency, less
en- his capability, and tend to lower
the standard of his moral ideals
Strange to say. however. We have
centered our attacks on the "cigar-
ette" rather than upon the ''fiend.'
As a matter Of fact. II man is a
cigarette fiend the chances are If
cigarettes some miracle
were eliminated, we would hnd him
some other kind Of a hend., A man can
do himself Just as much harm eat
ing too many cream puffs or choco-
late eclaires, as he can by smoking
too many cigarettes. It seems to me
that the evil lies not so much In the
use of cigarettes. as in the abuse Of
the habit by carrying 1t to excess.
Aside from the virtue or vice which
lies inherently in the cigarette habit,
there are certain obligations expect
ed from every man on the assumption
that he is a gentleman. If cigarettes
are offensive to the people with whom
he would associate. it is no more han
courtesy to resist the desire to smoke.
II your employer objects to It. 1t is
only discreet that you give up the hab-
it.
Cigarette smoking. like everything
else, resolves itself into question OF
common sense and courtesy. By the
application Of one. and persistent
striving after the other, you will ind
that all of these problems will solve
themselves.

The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-01-30
SENATOR CLAWS LETTER.

Washington, D. c., Jan. IA, 1908.
Hon. Thos. E. Watson, Thomson, Ga.
Dear Tom: I have your favor. Bailey and
myself had discussed the question Of deposit
ing the treasury notes in banks and agreed to
treat all banks alike both state and nation
al I can see the manifest injustice of al
lowing national banks to receive deposits and
depriving state banks of the same right.
don't believe in the theory that banks ought
to furnish the people money. I do not wish
to become committed to financial system au-
thorizing money to be deposited in banks from
the treasury of the Government to loan to the
people. I do not believe that we ought to
raise by taxation any more money than is
needed to pay the expenses of the Government
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-01-30
THE JEFFERSONIAN.

honestly and economically administered I
think it vicious principle to allow large
amount of money surplus to accumulate in
the treasury, to be deposited in banks to be
loaned to the people. This bill, introduced
by me, was crudely drawn to meet the pres
ent situation. I believe in gold and silver
and paper currency issued by the Govern
ment based upon the faith and credit of the
Government. Of conrse, the quantity Of paper
money must be limited to the needs of the
country and I believe that such paper cur
rency can be kept as good as gold and sill
yer, so long as our country is on sound
financial basis. Of course, in time Of war if
the Government was seriously imperilled,
treasury notes might depreciate. If we could
issue notes and pay off part Of the indebted
ness of the Government, then the treasury
notes would find their way into the different
channels Of trade and assist materially in
carrying on the business of the country. I
believe our present indebtedness could have
been foated by the issue Of treasury notes
instead of bonds and these notes could have
been kept as good as gold and silver. Now
we would have some difficulty in going into
the market and buying our bonds with treas
ury notes because they are payable in gold.
This was mistake. Every step we have TAX
en- in our finances, in my judgment, has been
wrong and vicious in principle. When we
provided for the construction Of the Panama
Canal, instead Of issuing interest-bearing
bonds to pay for its construction, we could
have issued treasury notes and paid for it
and saved the interest on these bonds to the
American people and the notes SO issued would
have been valuable in carrying on the business
Of the country. We are now paying about
twenty-four millions Of dollars per year in
terest on our bonded Indebtedness We are
only floating three hundred and forty-six
millions Of non-interest bearing notes and
these notes are just as good as gold and sill
yer and believe we could easily float seven
or eight hundred millions Of treasury notes or
probably more, and keep them good. At the
beginning of the Spanish-American war, we
only owed about five hundred millions Of dol
