Growing Menace Of Tobacco" using the
different names Of cigarettes as object
lessons OF what tobacco is doing to
America and what II is trying TO do to
the already dow4rrOdden China. He said
he had been told that the difference be-
tween a trust company and a corpora
ton was that the trust company did not
have a soul while the corporation did.
and using this definition, he said that
surely the American Tobacco corpora

part:
II learned when a child that booze
should be locked up instead Of the
drlnker. The wonder Is that people have
stood for it as long as they did. The
vets do not need to think that we are
going to lay down our arms now, for
the fight VIII keep up until the liquor
men surrender. The vets are trying to
tell US now that we took snap judg-
ment on them, but it doesn't look like

years with such great leaders as Neal
Dow and Francis Willard, who gave their
lives for the cause, and with our prohibi-
ton campaign on IN twenty-three coun-
tries, we haven't time TO be discouraged.
II the people do not want to stand by
our Constitution let them go back to
the land they came from. America never
would have fed the world during the late
war il the country hadn't been dry. Our
membership campaign is. or and we will
match the anti-prohibition organization.
