Does Your Tobacco
SiH Down into the
Stem Of Your Pipe?

Edqeworth Tobacco goes out into
the world to make it's own friends. It
is q good smoking tobacco. We don't
have to make many claims for it.
It makes quite q number OF friends
for itself. Some OF these good friends
write to US. One of them recently sent
us the following suggestion:
Larus & Bro. Co.
Richmond, Va.
Gentlemen:
Being an occasional smoker and
on those occasions usually snok-
ing your tobacco, I am writing to
mention q point which might be
used in your advertising to your
advantage, which to my knowl-
edge has appeared in none OF your
advertisements to date.
Your tobacco possesses the par
ticular quality of not being rub:
bed too fine, As = great many OF
the various brands Of tobacco are,
and this should be a great selling
item, as q smoker invariably ex-
periences q great deal of difficulty
in keeping the stem of his pipe
clear and clean with the average
tobaccos, which practically al
ways are drawn into and block up
the stem. This is merely point
+ which I have noticed and hope
that it may be of use to you.

FIGURES ON RAIL COSTS

lard, president of the Baltimore &
Ohio, to the senate committee on the
total expenses of operating the rail-
roads, show beyond doubt that private
operation has been more expensive.
In 1918, a year of government con-
troll, total operating expenses were
1882 ,O00, 900; in 1919, another gov
eminent control year, they were
$4,399, OOO, 900; in 1920, year of pri-
vate control, they were Sc, 768,O00, 1000.
The difference between 1919 and
1920 is $1,369, 100000. If we deduct
from this a wage increase granted on
July 1, 1920, amounting to $480,000,-
900, there is still balance of $780,
100000 to be accounted for by the
champions of private control.
And we must remember that during
most of the time the government con-
trolled, railroads were handicapped
by the great strain of transporting
soldiers and war supplies; also that
the government was handicapped by
having to retain in it's service railroad
managers anxious to make govern
n1ent control turn out bad.

SIMS "JACKASS" SPEECH =
Secretary of the Navy DENLY has
ordered Admiral Sims to hurry back
from London. The admiral had occa-
sion to address London audience a
few days ago and made what is now
known as the jackass speech.
He referred to American sympa-
thizers with the Irish cause as
jackasses and disturbers of peace and
order. All Irish people who hope for
freedom from English domination
were classed under the head Of the
bad Irish and recommended for stern
punishment. .....
Admiral Sims has been what is
known as an Anglophile, or booster of
things British. During the latter part
of the war and the months following
he created sensation by giving out
an alleged order of his superior to
keep his eye on the British admiralty
as we'll as fight the enemy.
Officers in the army and navy are
not expected to take part in political
or partisan discussions, and hence he
violated this rule by expressing in
public his own views of a serious na-
tional question and perhaps the views
of those who must censure him for
violating the rule. Secretary of the
Navy DENLY once served in the Brit
ish customs service in China. Score
tary of the Treasury Mellon is part
of the j. P. Morgan group, which is
the British financial agency in this
country. a ~.
1t is an open secret here that none
of the conservatives in the govern
ment have any sympathy for Ireland,
but most of them are better politicians
than Sims. Their cue is to keep the
Irish and friends of Irish freedom
living in hope that something will be
done and yet do nothing. Reaction
airy government at home can not pro-
duce progressive foreign policy. And
the Irish, supposed to be the born
politicians, commonly overlook this
simple fact. n

The Tomahawk., 1921-06-30

WASHINGTON, D. c. Govern
mont expenses for the year 1921,
which runs from July 1 this year to
July 1 next year, will be $5,602,0O0,-
900, according to Secretary. of the
Treasury Mellon.
Last year the Democratic secretary
of the treasury announced that the
1921 expenses would be $1,000 ,O00, 900
and the Republicans made the promise
to cut this vigorously one of the chief
points in their campaign.
Before the 1920 election the Repub-
lican congress advertised a. cut to
$3,717 100000, but now we find that
the expenses are actually $500, 100000
more than the Democratic secretary
announced as necessary. This $780,
100000 increase amounts to about Sc
for every person in the United States,
and the total expense to $3.50 per
person, or $266.50 for the average
family of five persons.
Three factors account for these
large expenses:
1. The unparalleled appropriations
for mllltarlSm.
2. Interest and sinking funds for
the war debt.
3. Juggling and wasting of funds
by congressional leaders to keep up
political fences.
While President Harding is making
speeches deploring war, the whisper
ing around the legislative lobbies as
to the administration attitude is just
the opposite. When the senate added
$1OO,0OO,OOO over what the house
voted to the navy bill, it was said at
the time that this was done at the re-
quest of the president.
The Borah resolution for disarma-
ment, which passed the senate by a
unanimous vote three weeks ago, has
been wiped out in the house. and
another resolution substituted which
does not "direct" the president to do
anything.
