THE TOBACCO CRUSADE

Tobacco is next on the pro-
hibitive list. Absolutely! For
some months the Anti-Tobacco
League has been organizing
througout the country after the
plan of the Anti-Saloon League,
with the frankly announced in
tention of securing by constitu-
tional amendment the prohibition
of the production, sale and use
of tobacco in this country.
Just a few days ago applica-
ton was made to the court in
Pittsburg for a charter for the
'No-Tobacco Corporation the
purpose of which is thus set
forth: TO educate the public,
especially the children before
they have formed the tobacco
habit, to a knowledge of the
evils of the use OF tobacco and
for the purpose of securing by
law the prohibition of the cul-
ture, sale or use of tobacco. /"
So this is the next reform to
be undertaken following closely
upon the heels of alcoholic pro-
hibition. Why not? Why should
MT the country be saved from
the siren nicotine as well as from
the demon rum?. We know that
tobacco is a narcotic; the book
says so. We know that it is a
curse wished upon US by the
American Indian through the
medium of Sir Walter Raleigh.
We see all about us evidences OF
its baleful effects.
Uncle Joe" Cannon might
hope to live to a ripe old age if
he had eschewed tobacco in his
younger days, and the same could
be said of Ohauncey Depew.
Gaze upon the shrunken, emacia-
ted form of Boise Penrose. 1t is
no secret that 1t was tobacco that
stunted his growth, and anyone
who has smoked one of his fav-,
orite brand of cigars will not
wonder at it. If the late j.
Pierpoint Morgan had cut out
$1.25 cigars. he might have laid
By something for a rainy day.
BY the same token Caruso might
have learned to sing if he had
not been addicted to cigarettes.
On every hand are the evil
dences of this curse which the
reformers propose to remove.
There is not the slightest doubt
that it was tobacco which made
the American army so ineffective
in this war. 1t is also common
gossip that tobacco is responsible
for warping the mentality of
such men as Elihu Root, Henry
Cabot Lodge. Philander C.. Knox.
Knute Nelson, John Sharp Will
Jams and A. Mitchell Palmer and
that cigarettes ruined Bob Lam
sing and Newt Baker.
BY alHmeans let it be cut out;
but why make two bites of a
