the President as the one man who
could save us from war. After the
public mind had been thoroughly
aroused as to the gravity of the situs-
tion, we had the announcement that
the administration had won a "diplo-
matte victory" In each instance,
however, the situation continued to re-
main as it was before we had the
"crisis" and the "victory." Huerta
did not salute the flag; Germany and
Austria continued to sink neutral
ships bearing American citizens.
The effort to picture President
Wilson as the one man upon whom
success depended. was illustrated again
when the announcement was made Of
the Presidents position nuon the
question Of equal suffrage. The peo-
were held in suspense as to the Pres
ident's attitude and thus he was kept
in the spotlight for the attention of
all those who We're deeply interested
in the equal suffrage question. The
announcement of his attitude was fin
ally given to the public in a manner
and tone that indicated the impress
sion that when President Wilson
made known his views, the result of
the elections would be determined.
Here again the administration suffer
ed by the over-playing of the hand,
for the count of votes in New Jersey
and in other states demonstrated that
President Wilson's announcement was
injurious rather than beneficial.
The preparedness fiasco is another
Illustration of poor publicity work.
AS everybody knows, President VIII
son was a belated convert to the pre-
paredness policy. Long before the
official announcement of his conver-
sion, there were intimations Of his
change of heart and an effort was

WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS.
Patented Process Is Responsible for
Its International Popularity.

Smokers much appreciate the
flavor and coolness and aroma of
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette to-
bacco that they often marvel that this
one brand could be so different from
all others. 's
The answer to this question is to be
found on the reverse side of every
Prince Albert package, where you will
read: process Patented July 30th,
1907" That tells the whole story.
Prince Albert is made by a patented
process that cuts out the bite and
parch, which makes the tobacco so
mighty agreeable and satisfying to
men of every taste of every civilized
nation of the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years
continuous work and study and a
fortune in money to perfect. But the
result has proven to be worth all that
was expended upon it, because it has
set free men who believed they never
could enjoy a pipe or a makin's Gig
arctic.
Prince Albert makes it possible for
every man to smoke pipe or to roll
his own cigarettes. And, no matter
how tender the tongue, Prince Albert
cannot bite or parch. That is cut out
by the patented process, leaving for
the smoker only the joys of the frag-
rant tobacco.
It is a fact that since Prince Al
bert arrived" just about six years
ago, it has made three men smoke
pipes where one smoked pipe be-
fore!
