of clgara, clKarettea and other forma
of the weed, aoiue hundreda of million
dollars are paid oat for other things
than the raw tobacco and labor of
making It up.
129,000,000 a Year for Boxea
For example, the tobaoco trade con
umee each year 4fl.000.000 pounda of
(Icorlce, BO.lajO.uOO pounds of sugar,
both used In flavoring tobacco, and
8.VUXIO tons of coal. It la eatimated
that the value of wooden cigar boxea
used Is r.000,000 a year, quite an
Item to the lumber business and to
manufacturers of the boxea
In making these boxea fl.VI.OOO
pounds of nails are emplojed. Other
large Items used In making and pre
paring toheivo for aale are tin and
lead foil, paper for bags and cigarette
wrapper, cloth for tobacco bags, la
beta, coupons, etc., Involving the print
ing trade exiennlvely.
Then bulliling contractor and manu
facturers of machinery are largely In
terested. Investments In plants and
macbliiury employed In Manufacture
'ng tobacco are estimated at $102,000,
000. Replacement, up keep aud Inter
est on the Investment tnnke no email
sum annually.
And let realty men note there are
approximately 025,000 tobacco farm
In the country, with a total eatimated
valuation of $1fl0,000,0t Of further In
terest to real estnta men Is the fact
that there nre 7XV) retail eatabllsh
menta selling tobacco. Involving a total
rental and up keep Impossible to esti
mate, besides the large amount of of-fli-e
space occupied by administrative
branches of the general hualiiesa.
The Insurance men, too, have their
share of the pb kings. The tobacco
business pays out annually $7,000,000
In premiums In the United Stales.
And there are the railroads who reap
revenue from 2,210.000 tons of tobacco
products every year,
As for the advertising business,
here again It 1 Impossible to form
any estimate of the enormous annual
outlay.
The prohibition of tobacco would also
knock a good sized hole In the receipt
of the fnlteil States government.
The Internal i"venue receipts from
tobacco for tin- fiscal year lli'.'O amount
ed to $aw,Roi..t.'fl 44. Customs dutlea
provided an additional $2.lkl.000 In
round figures, making the total revenue
return to the government $320,011,000.
Influence on Popular Sentiment
It la this Interlocking of the tobacco
business with so many other Interest
and the vast amount of financial los
that would lie Involved In the abolition
of tobacco that la ono of the most se
rious aspects of the proposal to pro
hibit the aale of tobacco, a proposal,
however, which haa little support by
public sentiment If the newspaper edl
tors of the country are correct tn their
estimate of that sentiment.
In a poll of the editors made recently
by the Tobacco Merchants' Association
of the United Stales, through the I'resa
Service Company of New York City,
Do per cent of Ihe 7847 edltora who
replied expressed Ihe opinion that the
people of their commun'tles were op
posed to any law against tobacco Aa
theae edltora represent some so.tssi.iaxl
readers Ihe results form u pretty gen
eral teat of national opinion
Iu their remarks accompanying their
replies many of the edltora express!
It as their opinion that the oppos tlon
of their couiiiiuultlea to the abolltlua
of tobacco wua based to some exieiit at
least on the damage such a change
would do to the business Interests of
the community. This was particularly
true In the tobacco growing states and
center where there were lerge tobacco
plants.
But when the extent of the bualnese
Involved In the allied Interest of the
tobacco trade 1 rcnsldered, a above
briefly outlined, It Is clear that there
I hardly a aectlon of the country that
would not be affected directly er In
directly by abolishing tobacco.

She was re.idy to sleep and she lay on my arm,
In her little frilled cap so line,
Willi her gulden hair Tailing out at the edge,
Like a circle of the noon sunshine.
And I hummed the old tune of "Bambury Cross,"
And""Three men who put out to sea."
When she sleepily said, as she closed her blue eyes :
Papa, whai would you take for me?
And I answered, "A dollar, dear little heart,"
And she slept, baby weary with play,
Hut I held her warm in my loving, strong arms
And 1 rocked her and rocked her away.
Oh, ihe dollar meant all the world to me,
The land and the sea and the sky,
The lowest depth of the lowest place,
The highest of all that's high.
All the cities, with streets and palaces,
Wilh their people and stores of an,
I would not take for one low, soft throb
Of my little one's loving heart,
Nor all the gold thai was ever found,
In the busy wealth finding past,
Would I take lor a smile of my darling's face
Did 1 know ii would be the last.
So I ro,cked my baby and rocked away,
A I (At such a sweet content,
For the words of the song expressed more lo me
Than they ever before had meant,
And ihe night crept on, and I slept and dreamed,
Of things far too gladsome to be,
And I waken'd with lips saying in my ear,
Papa, what would you lake for me ?
FALSE
Why exult in earthly treasure
That blooms, and blossoms for a day,
Why count your gold with pleasure
The fickle god soon fades away?
Why behold with anxious vision
The things of others not your own,
But guard against such earthly weakness
Ignoble ideas, leave alone.
Should some flower of gorgeous beauty
Suddenly make your paihway bright,
When around you seemed disasier
And your way as dark as night:
Would you deem such flower an open
All for good, your gloom dispel,
Or would facy quickly leach you
No false god could do so well ?
Be not deceived, in giving tribute
Homage pay no earthly shrine,
All gods are false, save Christ Jehovah
Seek thai God that's Divine.
The hour must come when all false ideas
Will vanish, if we the race would win,
Nothing short of truth from Heaven
Can make us fit to live with Him.
Allurements strong the world is placing
In man's paihway to beguile,
Many fall while least suspecting
Heaping all that's low, and vile.
Look well comrades 10 your laurels
Evasion will not count, or do,
None at "Roll-Call'! gives your answer
Bear in mind it must be you.
