The Greeley tribune., 1907-05-30

The Highlandlake country IN
southwestern Weld county is the
prettiest country that you can imag-
inc. Coming into the locality by
way of the Colorado Il Southern and
from Highland switch across country
by wagon road as you view the
country from some vantage point on
the route it will take a sordid mind
that will not be struck with the
richness of the view on every hand.
1t is strikingly beautiful both from
utilitarian and picturesque point
of view, for the farms are solid
green with the promise of being
transformed by the alchemy OF Colo
RADIO irrigation and iridescence into
the LONG green OF commercial
transaction at the latter end OF the
season. But banishing all thought
Of trade, the prospect that greets
the eye is delightful. There are
the graceful .undulations Of surface,
the lakes in the valley, mere ribbons
of simmer against the darker back
grounds, the fields like cultivated
gardens, the homes with comfort
and repose suggested, and all in an
effect to make one glad he is alive
and with faculties keen to appre-
ciate the beauties which nature and
art together scatter with such a
prodigal hand. Then always there
are the mountains in never-ending
restful effect in the back ground, so
soothing and uplifting that to live
within view of their stately repose
must add to the exaltation of the
life.
Then as you progress toward the
lake the climax appears. Highland
lake, beautiful body of water o
sufficient volume to be fine for boat
ing and fishing, is surrounded b.
trees for almost the entire circuit
and has on its banks some beautiful
homes and the church and schoo
building of the locality. Highland
lake people are justly proud of thei
locality and have built homes tina
would be credit to any residenc
portion of town. Shade trees
fruits, shrubs, flowers, with finel.
kept lawns, all add to the effect
II the interurban comes througl
this section, which Is among tn
probabilities of the near future, J
oil open up possibility for one o
the most attractive summer resort
in northern Colorado. But as 1t !
the lake Is surrounded by = wonder

homes In the county.

hibition. When God Almighty estab-
lished the moral law he decreed pro-
hibition, and when our forefathers
established this government they Or
dained prohibition, and the thing
we have been adopting thruout the
country is not prohibition, but the sa-
loon. "
Judge Artman turned his attention
to the present attitude of the liquor
men that license is prohibition in
that it allows certain men to keep sa-
looms and not Others. He held up
the claim to ridicule because the sa-
loonkeepers thus declare themselves
to be the original, simon pure prohib-
itionists. The temperance people
have also changed their views and
have come to the conclusion that
liquor having been adjudged an arti-
Gle of menace to society, the business
does not rise TO the plane of calling,
but is curse; that the giving of a H.
cense is to create right which does
not exist, and to do what is declared
dangerous. The courts have held
that a saloon does not exist by any
legal right, but by the tolerance of
the people. When a license is given
for any business which is unlawful,
the effect of a license is to create
right which does not exist. We can't
regulate rights, but we can regulate
wrongs. An outlaw should be dealt
according to law. The saloon is an
outlaw. .-.
FLAG PROTECTS HOME.
"How bad must thing be to be
prohibited? Before it can be prohib-
tied it must be inherently dangerous
and destructive of the purposes for
which the government was organized.
The saloon is nuisance in. itself and
the government can't legalize nuis-
ances. An attempt of the state to IL
cense saloons is an attempt of the
state to commit suicide. The flag
cannot legally be the emblem of pro-
lection to the American saloon and
the American home at the same time.
If it is recognized as the emblem of
safety to the home it must be recog-
nized as an emblem of destruction TO
that damnable and Ubiquitous thing
known as the saloon z"

The Harrisburg Journal In speak
ing Of old timers pays Phil Dewitt q
well deserved compliment and refers
to our departed friend and c0mrade-
r. w. Norton tenderly and kindly,
and no tribute to his memory can ex-
tol too highly the splendid character
of our dead friend. The Journal says:
"Phh Dewitt Of Lynn Township was
up in these parts last week. We en-
joyed a pleasant social chat with him,
and he recalled many Incidents Of
pioneer days, notably, he referred to
Ed. Norton, a former neighbor OF his,
now deceased. Everybody remembers
Mr.. Norton and his genial kindness
will be remembered long after the
last pioneer has been gathered to his
fathers, and Mr.. Dewitt is not wit
behind him in deeds of generosity"

Geo. Schlosser of Sioux Falls,
one of the directors of the Child
ren's Home in that city, has been
investigating an institution known
as st. Joseph's Home in Kansas
City, for which solicitors have been
working in this state. The find
ings are not verv compliment
airy to the institution Or it's mana
ger, Mrs. Anna Baker. The report
says that Mrs. Baker makes no ac-
counting of funds, there are only a
few inmates and those admitted
complain of bad treatment. Mrs.
Baker was arrested in Wisconsin
for obtaining money under false
pretenses, c nyicted and fined $500.

visited Scotland it will be we'll for
our citizens to give them a cool re-
ception in future.

The appeals that are being sent

strike is an evidence of weakness
in our industrial system. Appeals
to the president for help every time
there is a strike, OF whenever,

is slump in stocks on Wall St.

stroys the spirit of independence

The North Dakota legislature
passed law requiring the railroads
to issue family mileage books, good
for all members of a family, to be
sold for 2 cents a mile, but the
railroads refuse to conform to the
law. A similar bill was introduced
by Representative Trumbo in the
South Dakota legislature but was
defeated. Tickets of this kind are
sold by eastern roads and are a
great convenience, but it is per-
haps just as well to let North Da-
kota test the validity of such law
before we attempt it.

The attempts that are being
made to shift the responsibility for
the defeat Of the 2-cent passenger
rate bill onto the wicked "stalwarts "
in the last legislature are amusing.
the facts are that the bill was in
troduced in both houses. Then
Mr.. Glass, the leader iof the tre-
form" element, and now candi-
date for congress, asked unanimous
consent to withdraw the bill, claim
ing that after investigation he had
concluded that it was unconstitu-
tional. Consent was given and the
bill died. Realizing that for poll
tical capital some action on the
rate question was necessary bill
was then introduced authorizing
the railroad commissioners to make
an Investigation and if they
thought it expedient to order a re-
duction Of passenger fares to o
cents per mile. This bill was pass
ed and is now the law that the ere
formers are pointing to with
pride. The effect of this law is
simply to restrict the powers that
the board previously possessed.
Section 432 of the revised code
gave the board unrestricted author
ity to fix both freight and passen-
ger rates, and the new law simply
limits the minimum passenger rate
to p cents.
