Editor Chieftain:
8otuc time ago 1 read in the Chief-
tain an article entitled "A Short Talk
on Credit" by the proprietor of Ex-
celsior Laundry.
This industry evidently finds it's
books crowded with uncollectable bills
and is forced to "weed out" as much
aa possible the dead beat. To ex-
terminate him would be impossible.
The laundry realizes this but with
the help of representatives are trying
to reduce him to the minimum.
It 1b no uncommon thing to see a
young man with "a champagne appe-
tite and a beer salary" and the ques-
tion arises whither doth the modern
tendency of the rising generation of
these men lead?
' Is It along ascending pathways of
intellectual achievement?
Is It through careful observance of
temperance in "all things" to physical
perfection? Or is it by assimilation
of the lofty courage and sentiments
of the world's best and greatest states-
man to wielding of a clean fearless
powerful democracy?
None of these.
More's the pity!
A disregard for the rights of others
and demand for self gratification
marks some of the young men of to-
day. False standards Impel him to be so-
cially "correct" on the surface and
permit him to be any thing he wills
beneath.
He does not "take" to work unless
It be very genteel for his motto reads
"Better is It to four-flush on stray
oolna extracted from dad (or someone
else) than to pay up on wages for
menial labor."
He goes merrily on from one debt
to another until the maze becomes un-
bearable and then "accepts" a lucra-
tive position elsewhere and Is up and
away.
The laundryinan soda fountain pro-
prietor uaber dasher liveryman aye
the tailor would gladly combine
against this common nuisance but the
boy you know is of a very goct
"family" and the hammer brigade
would get busy on the merchant who
might take legal steps to collect from
one of these "paper collar" sports.
How to relieve the business firms
of this sort of a pest is a mystery.
The tendency towards self-gratification
regardless of who pays the bills
Is a deplorable one leadiHg the young
man into the black list.

CIGARETTES ARE
BAD FOR WOMEN
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson Has De-
cided Views on Subject
t CONFUSION OF NAMES
Wife of Demoeratlo Candidate Gives
Out Litter Tklng Strang Stand on
Smoking Habit. f
New Tork. for the first tint since
Woodrow Wilson became the Demo-
eratlo presidential candidate haa Mrs.
Wilson appeared. She tveo44 In
person her husband's dally conference
with reporters although heretofore
she has made special requests that
he be not quoted nor written about
in the papers.
That Mrs. Wilson wished to hare
fully understood wai that if she be
"Ames the first lady of the land she
will not at haa been said in a widely
distributed Interview have packages
of cigarettes in her personal deck at
the White House and Indulge in amok
ing then with her callers.
Through Governor Wilson. Mrs. W1V
eon asked that publicity be given to a
letter she bed written to the editor of
the State Journal at Columbus O. re-
pudiating an alleged interview with
her in which she defended cigarette
smoking for women. The interview
had come to her in a letter signed
"American Oitlcen" which said:
""Dear Madam I can scarcely think
of any greater calamity to the young
women of the nation than to read such
a preachment aa your interview offers
them. I am a worklngman and I see
men lose their Jobs almost every day
because they are Incapacitated for
work by the use of the cigarette. If
smoking does this for strong men
what will it do for girls and women?"
ThiP'lntorvlew" was Indeed a cor-
dial Indorsement of the woman smok-
er. Here are some of Its assuring
phrases all credited to Mrs. Wilson:
"A woman writer for a syndicate of
Sunday newspapers asked Mrs. Wood-
row Wilson If she agreed with Ger-
trude Atherton's opinion of the smok-
ing of cigarettes by women. She smil-
ingly exhibited three cigarette boxes
piled in the corner of her desk all but
empty.
" 'Why shouldn't a woman smoke If
ahe enjoys it?" she queried.
" 'Why hasn't she just aa much right
to a cigarette as a man? Certainly I
agree with Mrs. Atherton that any
existing prejudice against women
smoking is to the last silly and ab-
surd. " 'Smoking cigarettes Is a question
of manners not morals. It promotes
good fellowship.
" 'Come women feel that a cigarette
calms their nerves and helps their
brains Into working order. Personally
smoking diffuses my thoughts instead
of concentrating them. I enjoy It as I
enjoy after-dinner coffee. Both are
pleasant ways of ending and finishing
off; both add to conviviality and good
fellowship.' "
The editor of the Ohio State Jour-
nal it was clear had been much in
censed at the apologies for the cigar-
ette habit among women attributed to
Mrs. Wilson so he wrote on Aug. 10
an editorial In which he called for the
defeat of Governor Wilson or a repu-
diation from his wife. If there was no
mistake about It he wrote "Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson shouldn't be mis-
tress of the White House."
If the Ohio editor was emphatic
Mrs. Wilson was certainly not less so.
After the reporters had said they
would gladly publish her letter to the
Ohio editor she asked for an hour's
time in which to write one. This was
what Sue prepared:
"Dear Sir I have Just received a
copy of the Journal with your editorial
entitled 'Smo'Wug Women' and I beg
leave to Indignantly deny the state-
ment that 1 approve of women smok-
ing cigarettes. The interview upon
which your editorial was based Is a
pure invention. I Intensely dislike the
cigarette smoking habit for women
in fact so strong is my feeing on the
subject that my real danger Ilea in be-
ing unjust and unkind in my Judgment
of those who differ with me In this
respect.
"But certainly no woman In our
household ever his or ever will smoke.
Quite apart from the bad taste of It I
believe with you that It has an ex-
tremely Injurious effect on the nerves.
"ELLEN A WILSON.
("Mrs. Woodrow Wilson ")
Governor WJlson In approving the
letter sent out by Mrs. Wilson offered
what he thought might prove an ex-
planation for the Interview.
"I do not think It was maliciously
Invented" he said. "There Is a rather
well known writer who signs herself
Mrs. Wilson Woodrow and she no
doubt has been confused with Mrs.
Wilson."
Mrs. Wilson Woodrow was formerly
married to a relative of Governor Wil-
son and it Is understood that her
views on the matter of women who
smoke are different from those held
in the household of the Democratic
candidate.
It Is reported that papers which are
supporting the bull mooter have or-
dered extra fonts of "I's." And they
will be needed when Teddy get to
talking.
Wonder bow the colonel likes being
in outcast?
A Bute for Each Day.
About the sanest philosophy any
woman can hare Is to aim to make the
moat of each day as It comes along
and not borrow trouble from the fu-
ture or bemoan the regretful past. Go
through each day with a determina-
tion to make it just as useful helpful
and cheerful as possible. If you live
out this belief your life cannot help
but be successful.
Terrifying Threat.
Two Georgia darkies were quarrel
ing on a railroad platform. "You bet-
ter go 'way from me nigger!" said
the larger of the two; "'cause ef 1
starts in on you about this time day
after tomorrow the sexton of the col-
ored ' cemetery Is gwlne to be pattin'
you In the face with a spade!" Satur-
day Evening Post.
A Tub Secret
Filling the bath tub sometimes
makes more noise than we like es-
pecially late at night or early in the
morning. To prevent noise attach a
piece of rubber hose to the faucet
long enough to reach to the bottom of
the tub. There will be no noise of
spattering of water.
A Novel Idea.
A foreign Idea Is to'have the place
card at table held in the beak of a
small wooden bird or the mouth of a
small animal that is balanced on the
edge of the tumbler. These cunning
little Imported birds have the gayest
of plumage.
He la Truly Great
It is easy In this world to live after
the world's opinion; it is eaay In sol-
itude to live after one's own; but the
great man Is he who In the midst of
the crowd keeps with perfect sweet-
ness the Independence of solitude.
Emerson.
He Cannot Be Found.
1 have known many cautious and
persevering men" said the Office Cyn-
ic "but I have never known one who
waa so cautious and persevering that
he took the time to read all the fine
print in a lease."
Inducement
"Did dat man offer any Inducements
to git you to buy dat mule?" "Tassln-
deed" replied Mr. Erastus Plnkley.
"He gave me his membership In a
'soclatlon dat pervldes a han'some fu-
neral for anybody dat belongs to it."
