What ails Dr. Wiley? Has he been misquoted, or did he really speak as intemperately about smokers as the papers lately said? He spoke as one of the incorporators of the Non- Smokers’ Protective League of America, which was refused a certificate by Judge Giegerich in New York on July 6. He said, as reported : A man has not the shadow of right to in- flict unwholesome smoke and_his vile breath on the community at large. There should be a Jaw. strictly enforced by the authorities prohibiting smoking and chewing in public places or on cars where other persons are obliged to be, That is all right, except the absurdity of the suggestion that the breath of the smoker is necessarily vile, but Wiley talks like a fanatic when he says: A man, may smoke his lungs to a frazzle and spit his head off provided he does it at home or out in the woods or meadows, but he must not do it where there are other bu- man beings. And when he tells how College students, a brand of animal that is not noted for daintiness or regard for the feelings of others, will crawl beneath a grand stand to take a’ pull from the bottle that curses, Dr. Wiley’s work is too important, and too much of it is good, for him to dis- charge his mind in any such intemperate fashion as that. Tobacco habits in American communi- ties need amendment. We wish success to the Non-Smokers’ Protective League in all efforts to train smokers to consid- crate manners, and restrain them from smoking where they have no right to smoke. A smoker has no right to bring his lighted cigar or cigarette into any public vehicle or public or private room or office in which smoking is not ex- pressly allowed. Smokers should, espe- cially, be ruthlessly driven off of the plat- forms of street cars, where they are a nuisance, It is not smoking that is the trouble; it is the violation of the rights
