an’ a friendly natural-tobacco. Keep yo’ put
on airs an’ “sauced-up” tobaccos for the fellow
that likes nut sundaes better than home made
pie—
So says a friend of ours named Velvet Joe.
And he just about hits the nail on the head.
Velvet is made for men who think there’s
no smoke like real tobacco. If you are that
sort of man, listen:
Velvet was born in old Kentucky, where
mbre than one good thing comes from. It was
raised as carefully as any other Kentucky
thoroughbred. But the real secret of Velvet’s
friendly qualities is its slow natural ageing in
wooden hogsheads. Ageing in the wood
never hurt anything—and least of all, tobacco.
And so we say, Velvet is good tobacco—
nothing more or less. It runs second to
none.
The picture of the pipe on the tin needn’t
keep you from rolling a jim-dandy cigarette

DEMOCRATS ARE SPLIT
ON TRAINING ISSUE
Return to Opposition to Preparedness
Policy Pursued Before the War.
Washington, February 24.—Further
differences -between President Wilson
and his fellow Democrats in Congress
have developd on the issue of univer
sal military training, the President
contending that the isssue should be
1 nonpartisan and the House members
going on record against such training
by an overwhelming majority of 106
to 17.
This is beileved hero to be in line
with the entire history of the party
during the past ■ averal years.
“Watchful waiting” i.as been the
policy in regard to the turbulent con
ditions in Mexico during the seven
years of Mr. Wilson’s tenure of of
fice. Before the war with Germany
Theodore Roosevelt and other apos
tles in Republican ranks of prepared
ness were scoffed by the Democratic
■' «mi ' i ■'I —mtmm^faagBBfc
leaders then in control of both Sehate
and House. Finally, it will be remem
bered, Representative Julius Kahn, a
Republican, led the fight for conscrip
tion against the opposition of Chair
man Dent, of the Military Affairs
Committee.
Thrust into the war by actual con
ditions which made necessary the re
pudiation of a specious campaign
promise to keep the United States
out of it, President Wilson and his
party had the united support of the
Republicans during those trying
times. Afterwards he penned a letter
ascribing to his opponents less patriot
ism than the Democrats. The people
answered with a Republican House
and Senate. Now, in the opinion of
observers here, the Democratic party
has returned to its former policy of
pacifism, the House members declar
ing that “it is the sense of this caucus
that no measure should be pased by
this Congress providing for universal
compulsory military service or train
ing.”
Many Republican members believe
that'there should be no such training
at present, mainly because of the ex
pense involved at a time when they
are striving to reduce appropriations,
but no leader has suggested that the
Republicans as a whole in the House
take action against preparation for
any conflict in the future.
The President in his letter urging
the caucus not to take action did not
declare himself either in favor of or
opposed to universal military train
ing. With the same caution as shown
by him in his Mexican policy,he asked
that the whole question be soft-pedal
led until after the national convention.
But the House Democrats saw too
good a chance to appeal to the paci
fist vote. Having won the women over
in 1916 by the slogan, “thank God for
Wilson—he kept ub out of war,” they
took action which would assist the wo
men in 1920 to decide to support the
party which will not send anybody’s
son to war—as indicated by the war
with Germany.
If the overwhelming majority
arnoung the House Democrats against
military preparedness is not sufficient
proof to the voters that there are to
be no further wars, the President
reiterates his statement that the
league of nations, if adopted in the
exact form in which he gave it to the
Senate, will prevent any further con
flict throughout the wide world. With
Japan increasing its power on the
Pacific and Great Britain dominating
the Atlantic, the Democrats in Con
grass have gone on record against
any general training of American
youth in the future.
