Where are the highways and hedges�此�They are places where men and
women are the most lost。 How can they be compelled to come in�拭�Love
is the only compelling influence。 If no one goes with love�察�how are these
lost ones to know they are loved。 Christ brought love down to us�察�He
came down to do it。 We must take His love to the low places;Condescend
to men of low estate。; I praise my God for opening a door to
me never opened to anyone else。 I find the theatre stocked with boys
of our country。 They are not found in churches。 I have not sought to
get into the so´called ;respectable set; but I have told my managers to
get me into the worst class。 They need me most。 They are as brands
snatched from the burning。

I am not only a reformer on the line of the licensed or unlicensed
saloon�察�but on other evils。 I believe that�察�on the whole�察�tobacco has done
more harm than intoxicating drinks。 The tobacco habit is followed by
thirst for drink。 The face of the smoker has lost the scintillations of
intellect and soul it would have had if not marred by this vice。 The odor
of his person is vile�察�his blood is poisoned�察�his intellect is dulled。

A smoker is never a healthy man�察�either in body or mind�察�for nicotine
is a poison。 Prussic acid is the only poison that is worse。 Nicotine
poisons the blood�察�dulls the brain�察�and is the cause of disease。 The lungs
of the tobacco user are black from poison�察�his heart action is weak�察�and
the worst thing to contemplate in the whole matter is that these tobacco
users transmit nervous diseases�察�epilepsy�察�weakened constitutions�察�depraved
appetites and deformities of all kinds to their offspring。

Deterioration of the race is upon us�察�and unless there is some reform��
idiocy�察�imbecility and extinction will be the legacy of the future
generations。

A man that uses tobacco cannot have the nice moral perceptions on
any point that he should have。 I find him to be dulled and sluggish。 The
Bible says�此 �If thine eye be single�察�thy whole body is full of light。 If
thine eye be evil�察�thy whole body is full of darkness。; The use of tobacco
is a vice�察�and to the extent of that one vice�察�it degrades a mail。 It opens
the gate for other vices�察�for it is the gratification for one form of lust。
It is a filthy habit�察�and I care not how often the smoker changes his
clothes or washes his person�察�he is filthy。 The stench from his breath
indicates that his body repudiates such uncleanliness。

The tobacco user can never be the father of a healthy child。 Therefore
he is dangerous for a woman to have as a husband。 If I were a
young woman�察�I would say to the men who use tobacco and who would
wish to converse with me�此 �Use the telephone�察�come no closer� ─�I
would as soon kiss a spittoon as to kiss such a mouth。 When a man
begins to smoke he is taking his first lessons in drink。 The two habits
travel together。

A man never can attain his majority and use tobacco。 He never can
realize his full capabilities or his possibilities。 He can always attain to a
better standard without nicotine。

There is one objection that�察�from a business standpoint�察�every business
man ought to make to tobacco。 When he employs a man that uses
tobacco he gets only a certain per cent。 of his employee's time and of his
brain�察�because the employee must serve his tobacco master part of his
time and when he is not smoking his mind is preoccupied because he is
thinking of smoking。 Consequently�察�he cannot concentrate his mind upon
his business。

I have heard poor�察�silly�察�empty´headed women say that it is manly
to smoke。 If it is manly to smoke�察�why isn't it womanly to smoke�拭�The
tobacco habit is the reverse of manhood and destroys manhood�察�for manhood
means strength of character�察�not the gratification of lust。

If tobacco is good for men�察�it is also good for women。 I do not
suppose that one could find a man so low and degraded as to walk down
the street with a woman who had a cigarette or cigar in her mouth。
Women should make the same standard for men that men do for women。
Many women would smoke in public if men did not denounce it。 MEN
WOULD QUIT SMOKING IN PUBLIC IF WOMEN DENOUNCED
IT AS MUCH。

I have heard some women say�察 �I like the smell of a good cigar。;
I never smelled a good one。 It is not made。 They are like snakes�察�they
are all bad。 I never knew of but one good use that tobacco was put to��
and that was to kill lice on cows。 My father used it for that purpose on
his farm。 It does kill that kind of germs。

The evil has become so common that whenever you go abroad you
are compelled to breathe the contents of somebody else's month。 It
would be rude of me to take a piece of fruit out of my mouth and throw
it into somebody else's mouth�察�but anyone may throw his poisonous
breath and smoke into my mouth and I have no defense。 Spitting is
forbidden in the cars。 Smoking is a great deal worse�察�but the reason why
it is not denounced is that people can get a revenue from men's smoking��
while they have to clean up after spitters�察�and there is no money in that。

I can prevent a man spitting into my mouth�察�but I cannot avoid his
smoke。 A man seems to think that he is free to project his stinking
breath in my face on the street�察�in hotels�察�in sleeping cars�察�coachesindeed��
in every public place。 Now I would as soon smell a skunk。 There is
some excuse for a skunk�察�he can't help being one。 But men have become
so rank in their persons from this poisonous odor that they almost knock
me down as they pass me。 And when I say�察 �Man�察�don't throw that awful
stench in my face�察─�he answers�察 �You get away。; I reply�察 �If I smelled
as badly as you do�察�I would be the one to get away。;

Oh�察�the vile cigarette� �What smell can be worse and more poisonous��
I feel outraged at being compelled to smell this poison on the street。
I have the right to take cigars and cigarettes from men's mouths in
self´defense��
and they ought not to be allowed to injure themselves。 ;Liberty
is the largest privilege to do that which is right�察�and the smallest to do
that which is wrong。; Governments are organized to take care of the
governed。 I believe it ought to be a crime to manufacture�察�barter�察�sell
or give away cigars�察�cigarettes and tobacco in any form。

Oh�察�for the success of the Prohibition Party that will bring in reforms
along these linesand this is the only party that will do it� �Tobacco
degenerates body and mind。 Physical and mental culture demand its
discontinuance。

Dr。 Jay W。 Seaver�察�associated physical director of Yale University��
says�此 �Among college students�察�the gain of growth�察�in general�察�is 12 per
cent。 greater among those who do not use tobacco than those who smoke。
It has also proven by tests in the laboratory that the nicotine in a fairly
mild cigar will reduce a man's muscular power from 25 to 40 per cent。;

Were it not for the tobacco habit�察�we would need no smoking car。
Suppose women had a vice that required them a separate apartment from
the men when they travel。 Even in the cars where the women travel
there are rooms fixed up in luxuriant style while poor mothers with their
babies have to sit upright and smell this rank and poisonous odor。 But
of course women have no redress�察�or are made to think they have none。
Shame to you men�察�a decent dog will not bite a female�察�while men the
impulse of protecting their females they are lower than a decent beast。

While I was in New York City last week April the 2nd a Mr。 Thomas
McGuire�察�treasurer of the Fourteenth Ave。�察�Theatre had his tongue cut
out to prevent tobacco cancer from spreading。 This was from smoking
cigars。 General Grants' tongue rotted from the same cause。

This is one of the best poems on the vice I ever read。 Author
unknown。


          HE SMOKES。
     ;In the office�察�in the parlor��
     On the sidewalk�察�on the street��
     In the faces of the passers��
     In the eyes of those he meets��
     In the vestibule�察�the depot��
     At the theatre or ball��
     E'en at funerals and weddings��
     And at christenings and all。

     ;Signs may threaten�察�men may warn him��
     Babies cry and women coax��
     But he cares not one iota��
     For he calmly smokes and smokes。
     Oh�察�he cares not whom he strangles��
     Vexes�察�puts to flight�察�provokes��
     And although they squirm and fidget��
     He just smokes and smokes and smokes。

     ;Not a place is sacred to him��
     Churchyards�察�where the flowers bloom��
     Gardens�察�drives�察�in fact the world is
     Just one mighty smoking room��
     And when once he quits this mundane sphere��
     And takes his outward flight��
     From the world he made a hades��
     Day he's turned to murky night。


     ;When be reaches his destination��
     Finds 'tis not a dream or hoax��
     And the Judge deals out his sentence��

     Then I'll wager that he smokes��
     Oh�察�he'll care then whom he has vexed��
     And their mercy he'll invoke��
     But although he squirms and fidgets��
     They'll just let him smoke and smoke and smoke。;



CHAPTER XXI。

TRIP ON FALL RIVER STEAMBOAT�察�FROM BOSTON TO NEW YORKOFFICERS TRIED
TO LOCK ME IN MY STATE ROOMSEQUEL SATISFACTORY�察�MADE PLEASANT
TRIP AND MANY FRIENDS。


In the summer of 1903 I took a Fall River boat from Boston to New
York。 These boats are said to be the finest in the world。 There was
quite a commotion among the several hundred passengers when I went
aboard�察�and the door was blocked in the women's cabin to get a look at
the Crazy Smasher from Kansas。

Men were smoking pipes�察�cigars and cigarettes。 I said�此 �Men�察�get away
from the door with your smoke�察�you make me sick。; They paid no attention
to me。 I went to the clerk and complained of being compelled to
submit to the outrage of being subject to the poisonous fumes�察�in such
a manner as to attract the attention of all to the matter。 The Clerk told
me to be quiet and sit down。 I said�察 �I will�察�if I have a decent place to
stay�察�why do you not have these men get away from the door�拭─�But
they were men�察�we were only women and children。 Oh�察�the outrage on
poor mothers in delicate condition�察�to be subject to such treatment by
selfish��
dirty men。 I believe every one who smokes' in a public place should
be fined。 If men will smoke or commit nu
