TITIEN a fellow wants to
' bacco satisfaction and finds
liovv he can get it, it's natural
for him to put the other fellows
next to the Real Tobacco Chew,
because a little chew satisfies.
Tobacco satisfaction is what he is
looking for the smaller the chew it
takes, the better it suits him.
A little chew of pure, rich, mellow tohacco seasoned
nil sweetened just enough cuts out so rnucn of the

Is a probability that this assay will win
in the national eenteat, a decision in

"Traffic In aleohollc liquors in IU re
lation to government presents a prob
lem of world-wide importance. Con
sidored in its social, ocoaoaaic and po
liiical aicta, this criminal trade ia
America's must bitter enemy. The sa
loon ia the root of the social evil - Ma
ry K. Regan, chief matron of the Chi
ago police department, says: "Of ail
the tea or twelve thouaand unfortunate
girls and recked women arreatvd ev
ery year ia Chicago, ameng these whe
tell their wo- s to me, ninety-nine out
of one hundred attribute their woes to
the first glass ef wine or shampalgne."
The accuracy of this statement haa
been corroborated time and again by
such authorities as the oir.cial vice in
vestigating committees of Chicago,
Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
"The saloon is the church's most ag
gressive foe. Dr. J. C. Jackson made
a very convincing comparison between
two Ohio citiea. The first had long
been wet. Ten years after it had gone
dry the church membership' had dou
bled in proportion to the population.
The second hsd been dry for years.
After it became wet the church mem
bership decreased one-half during the
first ten yesrs. Mr. Jackadn found
that in aeven wet Ohio towns, of which
the aggregate population was 15,557,
there were only S915 church members,
as compared with a church member
ship of 10,000 in aevea dry towns, of
which the total population was only
12,800.
"In this country rum is at present
the chief promoter of criminality. By
starching the jail records of Massachu
setts it haa been disclosed that in 1911,
out of 31 cities, used ss examples, in
the license citiee there were 78,771
crimes committed becnuse. of drink,
while 34,061 offen-es wetelaid to other
caoses. In the sam yetr there were
9826 orirnes committed in the no-license
plaees of tha list because of drinking,
while 9191 offenses were attributed to
other causes. The city jail records of
Lansing, Miotiigan, show that in 1910,
when the place was dry there were on
ly 206 arrests, in comparison to 10.15 in
1912, when the town was wet. Accord
ing to the court records there were
9950 criminal cases filed in the munici
pal court of Chicago in 1910; in 1913
there were 20,291. Judge Gemmill i
considers this remarkable increase in
crime to be due principally to the sa
loons.
Looked at from a physiological stand
point, alcohol has wrought havoc
throughout our nation, Insurance ta
blea of the United States give 92,794 ss
the total number of deaths resulting
from smallpox, scarlet fever, diphthe-
erate drinker at 20 years of sge and
after, loses 13 years of life and that
the average hard drinker at the age of
20 years and after, loses 29 years. Al
cohol makes the human body more sus
ceptible to disease. Sir Andrew Clark,
physician to Queen Victoria, found that
seven out of ten in the English hospital
warda owed their afflictions to Intoxi
cants. Drink ia largely responsible for
the rapid increase in insanity. Within
a period of 50 years the population of
the United States hss increased 880
per cent. During the same period the
number of inssas has become 950 per
cent lsrger, the latter increase being
due almost entirely to the excessive
use of alcohol and other narcotics, in
one form or another (committee report,
American Medical Association, New
York). Ln 1910 there warm on an av
erage, 118 8 insane to each 103,000 pop
ulation in the dry s'ates. In the wet
states the number of insane averaged
276.6 to each 100,000 population (U. S.
censua 1910.)
"Liquor traffic haa every where proved
a decided hindrance to education. In
Mnine, where prohibition prevails, 83 7
par cent ot the children are enrolled in
the schools. In tha wet state ef Rhode
Island only 66.4 per cent of the child,
rcn of school age attend. In Oklaho
ma, a dry state, 81.6 par cent of the j
youth are being educated. In Nevada, I
quors. The rise in taxea which the
tariff brings about heavily counterbal
ences the amount of revenue it brings
into the treasury. Employing a basis
established from the report of the Mas
sachusetts state board of statistics of
labor and the state auditor'a report, it
was discovered tnat $2 012,419 of the
cost of paopers, criminals and insane
wis due to license for the sale of intox
icants. One-fourth of the appropria
tions of the Oregon 'egislature in 1913
was for those institutions made neces
sary largely by the open saloon.
"Labor and the manufacturing indus
try sre decidedly worsted by booze.
The Oiegon Anti-Saloon League's in
vestigation in 1914 of the 18 breweries
of the itate shows that $2,462,927 was
invested in these plants and that 204
wage earner were employed. By
carelul comparison with the other in
dustries it was shown that if the same
amount were inveated in any other line
it would employ 818 wage earners. The
families of drunkards are forced to
compete in the labor market. This, of
course, greatly lowrrs wages. In Mas
sachusetts the average yearly earnings
of each man and woman living in no li
cense cities amounts to $42.39 more than
the average yearly earnings of each
man and woman living in the wetcities,
an aggregate difference of $4,085,081.-

ria, croup, typhoid and cancer. Yet
this is insignificant when we are aware
that intoxication brought about 1G2,-
781 or 69.987 more deatha than did all
six of those diseases combined. Drink
destroys three times as much life every
yesrin America as did the civil war.
'The indirect results of the liquor
evil on mortslity are even more far-
reaching. Dr. J. H. Kellogg, of Bat
tle Creek, calls attention to the fact
that in Bulgaria, where intoxicants are
uaed but very little, ene person out of
every thousand attains the age of 100
years, while in Germany, a nation giv
en to bee drinking, only one oat of
700,000 reachea that age. Insurance
tables indicate that the average mod-
lahoma, but wet, only 68 per cent ara
in school.
"The economic loss occasioned by the
liquor trade is titanic. The last census
report represents ths distillers and
brewers of the nation as having uaed
materials amounting to a little more
than 1 per cent of the value of the raw
products made use of in all manufac
turing. A few simple comparisons will
suffice to illustrate how rum has worked
to the detriment ef the producer.
Whan breweries were in operation in
the state of Oregon they returned enly
two-fifths of the value of their product
to labor and materials, while ether in
dustries returned four-fifths (1914
Campaign Manual, Oregon Anti-Saloon
League.)
In every ease where states have gone
dry the farming communities have been
benefited by the change. Twenty years
sco mortgages were held by eastern
ers on Kansas lands Now, in spite of
repeated droutha, the people of the
state own $67,000,000 worth of such
credits. In Ksnsaa every fifth farmer
owns an automobile; in wet Missouri,
where conditions of climate and soil are
much more favorable to the agricultur
ist, only on farmer in every 100 afford
an automobile.
"The one thing that has given King
Alcohol the grip he now holds on your
gevernaaant is the revenue. let in
1912 we received $31,365,484.81 interna!
revenue from sources other than li-
"The preparation of liquors does not
deserve mention among manufacturing
industries, The vulueof products from
lumbering alone ia more than three
times the value of malt and distilled
liquors, while the vslue of products
from our foundries and machine shops
is nearer four times as much (Abstract
of Census, p. 442.) v
"Liquor traffic adds very little to in.
land commerce and atili less to' oeean
trade. On the other hand it injures
trade the world over by decreasing pro
dactibility. Furthermore, it menaces
the carriers of commerce by inducing
an Irresponsible rondi ion upon the part
of train and ship crews. Business con
ditions will be better in the United
States without booze. So little raw
material ia used, so little labor needed,
to carry on its production, that the
prsfits are enormous. Nothing keeps ,
more money out of circulation than
does the liquor trade. By a conserve -tivc
estimate, our drink bill in 1910 was
$2,430,551,073 58. Other causes not
taken into consideration, this great
economic waste ia sufficient to bring
about stringent financial conditions and
it is well to notice that our financial
panics have always followed a series of
years when fermented liquors boomed.
"As long as the liquor traffic ex'sts
our liberties and institutions are en
dangered. It ia therefore urgently
necessary that this "enemy at home"
be prohibited to continue."
