CIGARETTES ARE
j BAD FOR WOMEN
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson Has De
cided. Views on Subject.
CONFUSION OF NAMES
Wife of Democratic Candidate Gives
Out Letter Taking Strong Stand on
Smoking Habit.
Now York.—For the first time since
Woodrow Wilson became the Demo
cratic presidential candidate has Mrs.
Wilson appeared. She attended In
person her husband’s dally conference
with reporters, although heretofore
she has made special requests that
Bhe be not quoted nor written about
In the papers.
That Mrs. Wilson wished to have
fully understood was that if she be
comes the first lady of the land she
will not, as has been said in a widely
i distributed Interview, have packages
of cigarettes In her personal desk at
the White House and Indulge In smok
ing them with her callers.
Through Governor Wilson, Mrs. Wil
son asked that publicity he given to a
letter she had .written to the editor of
the State Journal at Columbus, 0., re
pudiating an nlleged Interview with
her In which she defended cigarette
smoking for women. The Interview
had come to her in a letter signed
“American Citizen," which said:
’"“Dear Madam—l can scarcely think
of any greater calamity to the young
women of the nation than to read such
a preachment as your interview offers
them. I am a workingman, 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?”
The "Interview" wus 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 s!fc» agreed with Ger
trude Atherton’s opinion of the amok
ing of cigarettes by women. She smil
ingly exhibited three cigarette boxes
piled In the corner of her desk, all but
•inpty.
“ ‘Why shouldn’t a woman smoke If
she enjoys It?" she queried.
“ ‘Why hasn’t she Just as 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 wnys 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 tho 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 hts 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 she prepared:
"Dear Sir—l have Just received a
copy of the Journal with your editorial
entitled ‘Smoking Women,’ and I beg
leave to Indignantly deny the state
ment that I 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 feeling on the
subject that my real danger lies In be
ing unjust and unkind in my Judgment
of thoso who differ with me In this
respect.
“But certainly no woman in our
household ever has 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 Wilson, 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 wns 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
j views on the matter of women who
I smoke are different from those held
In the household of the Democratic
candidate.
It Is reported that papers which are
i supporting the bull mooser have or
dered extra fonts of ’Ts." And they
will be needed when Teddy gets to
talking.
Wonder how the colonel likee being
an outcast?
