 If democracy means that any man may help who can, that school and university will give every man and woman the fairest chance. the most generous inducement to help, to do the thing he can best do under the best conditions, then, yes but if democracy means getting up a riot and boycott among the stupid and lazy and lllit- crate whenever anything is doing, then I say no III.

NO PROHIBITION FOR TOBACCO.

A professor in Syracuse University
is said to have organized a Tobacco
Lea que OF America, not, as the name
might sug5e.sI to make. everybody
smoke, but to obtain a national pro-
hibit;on to sop everybody from smok-
ing. The president of the w. c. 7. L.
in Cleveland is quoted as saying that
her organization is planning to con-
duct an active antinarcotic campaign
in the county this year
Such acts and utterances naturally
tend to arouse Indignation in the
hearts Of smokers. Possibly too much
IS being made CT them. Some ten per-
aace workers charge that this wave OF
a1ti-tobacco publicity is a deliberate
attempt on tho part of the liquor men
to discredit prohibition.
DR.. Clarence r. Wilson, general Sec
rotary Of the board Of temperance,
prohibition and public morale of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, takes
this view. He condemns 'the desper-
ate effort Of the out!awed liquor traf-
&c to make credulous people believc
that victorious prohibitio1lists will now
demand a constitutional amendment
against tobacco, not to mention dane
ing and failure to attend "Wednesday
evening prayer meeting"
While insisting that the tobacco
habit is a bad cne, particularly. for
young people, and that its evtt. effects
should be brought home to the
youth Of the nation, he discl2iras all
desire to prohibi. it. because tobacco
is not SO bad IN its effects az alcohol,
and the tobacco business has not
corrupted politics, bought journalism,
tried to renlake the country in the
image OF Germany or allied itself with
prostitution and gambling as the beer
business did
1t is well that this assurance is
given. \ time nay come. and may
eyen be ardentiy desired. when tobac-
60 will go the way Of booze. But r1an-
kind is not yet evolved to the re-
ouis!te stage Of enlightenment and
self-sa crjfice.

the money for the work can now be

Real estate men say, too, that it is
safe TO put money into buildings now

boy may stay on the safe side of the

the home letter must be interesting
must be cheerful, free from either
mawkish sympathy which shall make
him sorry for himself and from de-
tailed accounts Of family distresses
which may tempt him to desert.
Parting With sons and husbands

to the boy bored with static duty,

finer courage to withhold that word
perhaps than it took to speak the
one which sent the soldier on his way,
but it must be withheld. Better death
than life without honor. Better the
almost intolerable boredom Of bar
rack life than the truly intolerabIe
