Claims Tobacco Habit
Should Be Abolished
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
My experience has in tho past few
months driven me to some conclu-
sions which will perhaps seem al
together too radical to the public Yet
in considering details and all the in
terests of the youth of America
am ready TO defend them against the
tobacco interests.
When men of politics arc opposed
they rise and defend themselves to
any extent necessary: when men of
business are slurred at and run down.
as the saying is. they go to court
and fight it to a finish. When the
liquor interests were being opposed
they fought, and fought for life and.
I dare say, almost conquered. But
the tobacco interests have as far as
my knowledge goes never publicly
defended themselves.
The time has come when tobacco
Is no longer to be ignored, but is fast
becoming one of the most stupendouS
problems of America. The result
of the liquor was visible on all sides.
but the tobacco weed is deceitfuliy
gnawing at the health of nation. 1t
is a coming, vital, political issue and
can no longer be ignored as d mere
personal liberty"
The highest powers of my being
are aroused against this evil, and |
hereby challenge the tobacco inter
ests, local or otherwise, or any "a
pable speaker who is working for
their interests 10 meet me on thirty
days notice in any large auditorium
which may be secured to debate the
following question which I will af-
firm to the best interests of coming
America:
Resolved. That the use of tobacco is
detrimental to the physical, mental
and spiritual life of our nation; is an
injustice to the public; hence Is I'M
moral and should be abolished.
Yours for "justice to our nation.
