Ages ago New Mxico was the scene of some of nature's grand operations, when volcanoes poured their fiery contents over the plains. Que old crater Is sltua- ted north If Las Vegas. perhaps thirty miles, and west Of the railroad. In the central part Of the territory there are extensive lava beds, extending about, sixty miles from north to south and one aud half to twelve miles Tn width. The lava seems to have flowed with a broad, heavy current along the valley, till meeting with oh struction, 1t damned up and crustei over, then breaking through, rolled oE, leaving the crust above, which afterva-d broke down, leaving in some places bridges of lava. Two craters are found in this region the largest ofiwhich rises probably one hundred to two hundred feet above the plain and IS about two hundred feet across the top with a deep cavern. About fifteen miles north of the lava beds are the ruins of a place, the date of which k unknown. IL is supposed to have been destroyed at the time of the eruption.

In reading the above carefully it is
difficult to obtain any information
that leads one to conclude in favor Of
prohibition as against high license.
I'm the first place, prohibition has
been tried in Kansas and practically
speaking has proven of no consider
able benefit either to morals OF the
observance of law. "PruhibitiUnist'
admits "A plain violation of the pro.
hibilory law in five of the largest
cities, and if the whole facts were
known or susceptible of proof, we be.
lieve there are not five of the smallest
villages but have their dives where
men can appease the appetite for
strong drink.
We contend that high license will

cense, and make detectives of those
who are able to pay for carrying OH
the saloon business. Another thing
which seriously impedes the progress
of prohibition absolute is the thought
that there are certain inalienable
rights accorded to American citizens
which are sacred and must not he I'M
dcrtrodden, and the right To eat and
drink is by IA large majority consider.
ed one prominent among the number.
IL, as "ProhbitiOnist" claims, the
high.license law in Nebraska is IL
"sham and curse what could be-
expected from law prohibiting the
sale of liquor altogether 7 A disregard
for law would be three-fOld increased,

last legislature, he will not find the
saloon men working nor prtend
ing to work for high-license,
but exactly the contrary. The
temperance people, had there been a
unity of action among their organiza.

and passing high.license law and
making saloon keepers responsible
for crimes committed through the
medium of their traffic. But this
harmony did not exist, and the re.
suit is known. No Improvement in

The reason that saloon-keepers 0p.

fear that whisky or beer cannot be
secured, if they desire it. In the
eyes of the law of course their bust.

quite natural that they should oppose
the passage of a law that would dis.
countenance their occupation. What
we mean by free whisky is simply
this: Men who want 1t will obtain it,
