A MENACE TO VELVET JOE.

Some wise guy has said that no newspaper worthy the name
was ever made without the assistance of tobacco. The newspaper
however, holds no monopoly on this assistance, for the popular
conception of the environment necessary for the contamination of
big business includes a smoke-clouded atmosphere to give it the
right perspective. Wherever men foregather for either pleasure
prominent part of the scenery. But, hush! we are getting jealous
of the privilege. We object to passing a good thing along.
Not long ago, certain police authorities tried to stop women
from smoking IN pubfic places and perhaps in retaliation the
women. or some of them at least, with the assistance of a few male
creatures, are to inaugurate a campaign against King Tobacco.
In some colleges even now students caught smoking are penahzed.
In a neighboring state the passengers on the railroads are not al
lowed to buy cigarettes until their train has passed the state line.
This movement against tobacco is not to be taken lightly for it
is either a serious menace or a needed reform, one of the two.
We have already put over one great reform, or rather, we
are struggling with it. 1t has proved a pretty costly problem, and
the expense account promises to continue indefinitely. 1t has
added both to the burden of taxation and to unemployment,
though the latter has been greatly reduced in the past few months.
Conservative figures place our liquor prohibition costs at more
than four hundred million dollars annually, and that in excess of
the soft-drink taxes and the fines and confiscatons made by the
government in its course of enforcement. Regardless of the truth
or falsity of this estimate it would appear good Judgment to give
form right away. at least. We have heard it stated that the anti
tobacco advocates intend to make it a national issue at the earliest
Tobacco is within the reach of the poor man or the rich man
alike. We got it from the red man, but we did not rob him of il,
although we trimmed him of about everything else that he had.
The farm value of the tobacco raised in this country reaches an
average of half a billion dollars annually, and manufactured into
various products multipEes its value several times. More than
half a million people are dependent upon the tobacco and allied
general consumption make it one of the great industries of the
and to make its use illegal would be a step that calls for
very careful consideration. From our viewpoint, there should be
no haste.

OLD FRIEND EXTENDS WELCOME.

The following letter from G. M. Moss. editor of the Whitefsh
Pilot is self explanatory and the clipping of which he speaks fol-
lows:
Dear Remington:
Your letter and the Remington version of the Belt Valley
Times at hand. 1t is a very creditable publication.
Personally, and as president of the Montana State Press As
ISOLATION. | am glad to welcome you into the fold. You will not
be able to make more money than Henry Ford or John d. Rookie
Teller but you will have more fun in two years than they have had
in all their lives. | am enclosing a clipping from a recent issue
of the Pilot giving the needed editorial qualifications" Please
commit this to memory as you will have much need for it. lob
serve your journal is a member of the state association-that is,
carried in the name of the paper and not personal.
As a member of the executive committee of the National Ed
itorial Association | invite you this is personal not publication
membership to become a member of that organization. The
monthly bulletin and year book are worth more than the annual
dues. | enclose membership blank-just sign on the dotted line
and mail with check for $500 to H. c. Hotaling, executive secre-
tary at the address given.
Also put the Pilot on your exchange list and | will put the
Times on the Pilot list. Of course unless business gets worse, VOC
viii get the Pilot twice a week while the Times only ticks once a
week-but perhaps it will be a fair trade-two for one.
In case you make more money than you can find use for send
over and I'll buy Whitefish lake water with it.
I'm sure you will enjoy your enterprise, and should do well
If you should happen to get into Jail over any thing
you write. let me know and will use my little personal influence
to get you out.
Cordially,
G. MI. Moss.

is satisfied whatever the result, for he has the sense to realize
that even his own judgment is not altogether infalhble- 1t Is per-
fectly safe to assume that we have elected no supermen to office
this year and neither have we elected any neutrality-suspicious.
During the campaign just closed we have heard a great deal
about economy in the conduct of our overnment-nationa state
and county-from all parties. Everyone is aware of the fact that
our government is too costly, even the politicians have heard the
news, and we have been solemnly promised by every candidate
who ran for office, that his or her whole heart and soul responded
to that idea. This being so, we are justified in the expectation
that hereafter our county, state and national payrolls are to be
trimmed to conform to these promises. We expect from our newly
elected officials the same energy. the same conscienhousness and
the same ability in their official capacity as they would give to
their own business. We are not exceeding our privilege in this
matter and shall retain the right to criticize as we see fit.
And now that the election is past we can turn our attention
to the future. We might at this time name use of the old wheeze
get in and boost"-but it don't quite convey our idea, in fact,
we think there has been too much of the boost" and not enough
the real thing. Anybody can yell loud and long, but that don't
get us anywhere. Our experience is that we can't expect much
the other fellow. Co-oeration has its limitations, so it seems
TO us that the whole thing is up to the individual. 1t only takes
one good, old-fashioned word to explain our meaning, and that is,
work"
