Tobacco Day.

On account Of the many days that

day? Perhaps because II Is the natal
day Of a saint that took the soothing
weed under his protection. the day
that COLUMBUS discovered tobacco.
that Sir WALTER RALEIGH smoked his
first pipeful or that JEAN NICor intro
duced the weed to the French. At any
rate. It is the day that every person
connected with the industry recog-
nizes, when the dealer mellows and
may sell you that quarter cigar for n
dime. and when the poor Of the public
institutions may, perhaps. smoke on
the bounty Of the manufacturer.
Our contemporary Tobacco in n fine
number Of some 200 quarto pages cele-
brates the day by telling some inter.
estlng things about the industry. We
did not smoke less. but we imported
100000 fewer cigars last year than
We did ten years before. We got
fewer cigars. too, from our Philippine
possessions last year. but there was
after all a gain, because "the principal,
In fact. practically all. shipments were
cigars Of a higher grade" The Philip
pines, by the way, made according to
the last count more than three hun.
dred million cigars and fifty million
cigarettes. 90 per cent. Of the latter
going to China.
The oldest tobacco business in this
country traces Its ancestry direct to
the old stone SNUFF mill erected by
p. and G. ToRIIIARp on the Bronx in
176O. The best library Of tobacco liter
allure Is owned by GEORGE ARENTs, Jr..
Of this city.
The worst cigars In the world are
made in Burma: in Siam they say.

The Pennsylvania Judge who held
that tobacco Is Essential to solace and

be deprived Of It on any day" may
have hit the nail on the head. The

trsfion. I impeach the Chief Executive
Of my country for the tragedy Of Mex
Soo In the name OF humanity. l impeach
him for the suffering to which the
helpless women and children Of that
unhappy land have been and are now
cruelty subjected: for the murder and
robbery Of d~efenceless natives and for
eigners; for the failure to respond to
the cry for help from our fellow coun-
trysnen resident there; for the unre-
scented indignities and the unpublished
outrases upon our soldiers, sailors and
o6icials; for the insults to our flag,
which a policy of v~acillation has in
vited; for the Quixotic invasion Of
Vera Cruz, and the sacrifices 1t in
volved, and for the abuse Of the execu-
tive prerogative in lifting the embargo
on munitions of war to be used by
one set Of revolutionists and bandits
for the determination Of others.

W to the moral obligation OF the Mon
roe Doctrine. In that. while not per-
hitting other nations to intervene for

critics OF their subjects, he has not

RELIGION IN THE SCHOOLS.
A Rabbi Urges Precautions Against
an Obvious Danger.

To II EpIroR OF THE SuN-Sir: The
Gary system. which couples the public
school system with religious instruction,
is decidedly un-Anerican and fraugat
with grave danger to the harmonious
relations of the different races and de-
nominations constituting the American
people.
Hitherto the public schools were the
common ground on which the children Of
various parentage met on a basis of per-
feet unity OF interest and learned to
understand and tolerate each other.
Under the Gary system the priests OF a
score or more different creeds with
hearts full OF centuries OF prejudice
toward one another will walt at the
door Of every public school ready to
segregate the children into as many d.
visions.
The rivalry between the representa-
tives OF the different creeds and the
methods which will be employed to out
distance one another In the hunt for
souls may easily be imagined.
II may also be taken for granted that
this will prove an entering wedge by
which religion will be introduced into the
public schools Themselves, with all the
concomitant race feuds that such prac-
tice has produced In European countries.
Far seeing people who are Jealous for
American liberties should do their ut
most to ward off this peril.
Meetings of protest should be held
throughout the city and the Mayor and
the BOARD of Education should be ap-
prised in no uncertain terms that re-
dictionary policies which have time and
again been beaten off when advanced
In the open cannot be struggled in
through a back door.
II necessary, n powerful organization
should be created to fight this peril by
legal means on constitutional grounds.

from the experiences Of democratic
England in Increasing her army and
properly equipping her lighting men
after the declaration Of war. Recently
the Naroi and Auttorv Record had an
impressive commentary upon the state
Of British opinion just before the war
and also when hostllities were we'll
under way and the worst was known:
"0n the eve Of war . widespread
campaign was being conducted aealnst
the cost involved in the maintenance Of
the army and navy. Those who supplied
the needs Of tho two services were de-
scribed a. war traders and held up to
public condemnation. When at last war
had been declared the majority Of the
nation rushed to the c0nclusion mat the
great thing Wal to enlist svSry man Of
military age in che new armisa . .
At last realisation came Of the charac.
ter OF the war being waged on the Con-
tinent, and q cry was raised for more
munitions. Instantly those who q few
months before had denounced navy and
army alike. and had then LED an intern.
perate and inconsdderats movement IN
favor Of recruiting. swung round and
expressed amusement and contempt be-
cause our suppiy Of munitions Of all
kinds was not superior to that possessed
by the enemy. Those who will take the
trouble to review the cours q sventA.
political. military and industrial. during
the past twelve months viii reAhxe the
full extent Of the folhes which have
been committed under the influence OF
an uninstructed public opinion led In
the main by ignorant politicians"
In short. the British people behaved
before and after war began very much
as our own people would behave un.
der the same circumstances. We, too,
have our short sighted critics Of army
and navy expenditures In time Of
peace; We also rush to extremes when
confronted with war and rail incon-
sistently at what has not been done
to prepare the country; and We also
have our ignorant politicians and our
demagogues.
1t would be q calamity for America
