CIGARETTES ARE
BAD FOR WOMEN
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson Has De-
cided Views on Subject.
A CONFUSION OF NAMES
Wife of Democratic Candidate Gives
Out Letter Taking Strong Stand on
Smoking Habit.

New York.-For the first time since
Woodrow Wilson became the Demo
cratic presidential candidate has Mrs.
Wilson appeared. She attended in
person her husbands daily conference
with reporters, although heretofore
she has made special requests that
she be not quoted nor written about
in the papers.
That Mrs. Wilson wished to have
fully understood was that If she be-
comes the first lady of the land she
will not, as has been said in widely
distributed interview, have packages
Of cigarettes in her personal desk at
the White House and indulge in smok-
ing them with her callers.
Through Governor Wilson, Mrs. Will
son asked that publicity be given to
letter she had written to the editor Of
the State Journal at Columbus, o., re-
pudiating an alleged interview with
her in which she defended cigarette
smoking for women. The interview
had come to her in letter signed
American Citizen" which said:
Dear Madam can scarcely think
Of any greater calamity to the young
women Of the nation than to read such
preachment as your interview offers
them. / am workingman, and / see

work by the use Of the cigarette. II
smoking does this for strong men
what will 1t do for girls and women?"
The interview" was indeed cor
dial Endorsement of the woman smok-
er. Here are some Of it's assuring
phrases, all credited to Mrs. Wilson:
"A woman writer for a syndicate of
Sunday newspapers asked Mrs. Wood
row Wilson If she agreed with Ger
trude Atherton's opinion of the smok-
ing Of cigarettes by women. She smil-
ingly exhibited three cigarette boxes
piled in the corner Of her desk, all but
empty.
"'Why shouldn't woman smoke II
she enjoys it," she Queried.
"'Why hasn't she just as much right
to q cigarette as man? Certainly !

upon seeing to 1t that the people In
general are partners Of the govern
ment, as l was trying to show the
other day. And the Democratic party
is now placed under a peculiar respon-
sibility. 1t has to prove that it is
the worthy instrument of that zeal on
the part of the people of the United
States. If it does not prove it now 1t
will never be given another chance to
prove it. No party that proves un-
faithful to that ideal will ever again
be trusted by the people of America.
And therefore we are standing at a
turning point in our politics. We must
make good or go out of business. In
the vernacular, it is case Of put up
or shut up because words are going
to be discounted Nothing will be hon
ored except the actual carrying out of
such programs as sensible men may
unite in for the common benefit"

an editorial In which he called for the
defeat Of Governor Wilson or a repu-
diation from his wife. II there was no
mistake about 1t, he wrote, Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson shouldn't be mis-
tress of the White House"
If the Ohio editor was emphatic,
Mrs. Wilson was certainly not less so.
After the reporters had said they
would gladly publish her letter to the
Ohio editor she asked for an hours
time in which to write one. This was
what she prepared:
Dear Sir-I have Just received a
copy of the Journal with your editorial
entitled Smoking Women and l beg
leave to Indignantly deny the state
ment that approve Of women smok-
ing cigarettes. The Interview upon
which your editorial was based is a
pure invention. intensely dislike the
cigarette smoking habit for women
in fact, so strong is my feeling on the
subject that my real danger lies in be-
ing unjust and unkind in my Judgment
of those who differ with me In this
respect.
But certainly no woman in our
! household ever has or ever will smoke.
Quite apart from the bad taste Of it, l
believe with you that it has an ex-
