Japan assumes sovereign rights

Dubuque, July 17--tHaving achieved
national prohibition. the woman's S
Christian Temperance Union now will
devote its activities to banishing to-
bacco in all it's forms from the United
States. declared Mrs. L. D.-Carhart, OF
Marion. CORRESPONDING secretary of the
w. G. T. U.aofS Iowa, before the Du-
buque county convention OF the organ
ization opened here yesterday. "The
smoker buys tobacco first and gro
ceries last. making the family liable
to want for nourishment," she added.
1T takes $4,000. 100000 ten-cent
loaves of bread to pay the annual to-
bacco bill of the United States. and
every bushel of the Kansas wheat crop
to pay the annual cigarette bill. The
use of tobacco robs the user of his
health and a heavy smoker is usually
diseased. The money that is used in
the purchase Of tobacco could be saved
and used to buy household needs. 1t
has also been proven that the man or
young boy who smokes does not do his
work as efficiently as the one who is
not user of tobacco, and that the
cigarette f1end is not studious and in
time falls back in his studies. and,
ambition and the result is that he fin
ally loses good position"
"Now that the United States is
saloonless and dry" continues Mrs.
Carhart, 1T will not be long before
prohibition will reign over the entire
world. The w. c. T.U.. which has
spent forty three years fighting liquor,
will now turn to a war on tobacco,
which is an ally of liquor"
Concerning the drive for a million
members which is being conducted by
the W. C. T. u, Mrs. Carhart said:
"The national drive of the associa-
tion was held this spring from March
until July for million dollars and the
quota was oversubscrlbed. Now the w.
C. +. u Is conducting drive for a
million members which they hope to
secure before the latter part Of Sept
ember.
"The state of Iowa has now 1900
members and each one has been re-
quested to secure five more interested
in the cause. t1'
'SThe liquor men Of this country are
|-endeavoring to establish breweries in
China and the people Of that country
are pleading and begging the United
States to- prevent this" she continued
"The &c. T. U will not devote all
their time to educate the young men
and boys Of this country not to start
using tobacco and for those who have
started to discontinue its use"
Mrs. Carhart has been member Of
the w. c. T. U. for forty three years
and during this time has held every
office In the organization from presi-
dent to superintendent Of various
branches. For the past eleven years
she has been editor Of the state paper
| She was president for ten years.
