The Topeka Capital of today says:
1.-THE Emporia Gazette takes notice
that the tobacco business is following
the fatal road of the whisky interest
in it's dealings with public sentiment.
and the Gazette gives its kindly and
timely warning which it may or may
not have the sense to accept. 1t is
first rate business advice. The to-
bacco trust is following at present bad
advice, bidding for business by fnde-
cent advertising and ignoring the SEN
timent represented by anti-cigarette
laws.
1.-The other day. the Gazette says,
the manufacturers of q tobacco sent
q half page advertisement to the Ca
xette-which was rejected advertis-
ing to give away stickpins containing
q bas-relief Of the famous picture
September Morn The stickpins are
crude, ugly and impossible, except as
they excite hideOus thoughts in the
young and ignorant"
This is another Illustration OF the To-
peka Capitals hypocrisy in saying one
thing and doing another; of condemn
ing premiums yet giving them away;
of opposing cigarette advertising and
at the same time carrying it.
The above half page advertisement to
which the Emporia Gazette refers, and
which the Capital itself calls indecent.
was offered to the State Journal and re-
jected just as the Gazette rejected it,
but the Topeka Capital printed it in all
of it's hideousness, including three large
pictures of the stick pin and the
cigarette portion of the advertisement.
