To tho Editor of the Enterprise.
That short paragraph in your last is
sue al,out the insnne man is tn the point.
"A word fifty spoken. how good it is"
We rejoice in the success OF the cam
ming factory. 1t is producing, or rather
utilizing, a healthful product, for which
there is a demand. The mill also, and
the creamery are useful for converting
the fruits Of labor into marketable pro-
ducts for which there is constant de-
mand ut remunerative prices. Our
schools and churches are fitting young
men and women for filling useful posi-
tons in society and responsible and hon.
orable positions in our state and nation.
In all these we rejoice and are glad.
But there are some factories in our
midst that are manufacturing an article
for which there is no present or prospect
i've demand. They are taking the fair
and promising youth and manhood OF
onr country and uniting them for use
fullness in this life as well as causing
them to forfeit the joys OF eternal life.
II is needless to name these factories.
By their fruits they are known and
their products, when only partly finished,
can barely find market and when COM
pletely finished it is worse than useless.
in fact, is a public nuisance and finds
Judgement in our jails and poor houses.
Query: Will the American manhood
and womanhood permit these factories to
continue their destructive work.
SUBURBAN.
Alcohol has been responsible for much
Of the disastrous news chronicled by the
daily papers in the last few days. The
Denver News Of Sunday says: 1.-THE
present Indian troubles in Minnesota are
traceable directly to whiskey." The
same paper heads special from Tellu-
ride as follows: "Dr. .. F. Meter. while
insane from liquor, kills his wife," The
evidence before President McKinley's
commission to investigate the alleged
abuses in the army is that beer is very
largely responsible for the sickness and
deaths at the home camps. But there is
nothing OF a newsy character In such
items, as alcohol has been doing just
such work for years. Our correspondent
suggests the desirability OF stopping the
sale of liquor. This could readily be
done il the question could be readily
done il the question could be separated
from the influence of money. But the
people are bribed by the license money
to permit what they know to be evil and
only evil. The Enterprise, in OCCASION
ally giving the liquor traffic lick, does
not do SO with the intention OF opening
prohibition campaign. Public sentiment
in Rocky Ford is too badly wrong to
make such an attempt practicable. But
it is necessary to tell the truth about the
liquor business once in while or the ga
looms would be claiming responsibility
and that their traffic was sanctioned by
unanimous public sentiment.
