...scratched from every phonograph, mewed through the sinus cavities of every cabaret tenor who could boast a nose, caroled by housewives at their tubs and business men at their shaving. Before the echoes of the blatant dirge had been quite relegated to that mortuary of all songs - the monkey-organ - certain tenors were beginning to thud their chests in the press. To compare many with Caruso is, of course, absurd. But there are, in Manhattan, two Italian gentlemen striving for the place of "leading tenor of the Metropolitan."

Can you imagine the editor of "The Tobacco Journal", house organ of the Chu Rite Tobacco Co., refusing to "support the company"? Picture him publishing an article in his paper that was contributed by the Anti-Tobacco League! Preposterous! He would be fired in a hurry. His paper exists for the purpose of breaking down sales resistance and inspiring languid salesmen. Let the college editor go and do likewise. Let him spend his time puzzling out ways of selling his college...
