Denver, Colo, July 6-The program
for today for the Democratic conven-
tion includes caucuses of state del
egations, some of them likely to have
mighty influence even on the presi-
dentian nomination ITSELF, and the be-
ginning Of work by the national COM
mittee upon several contests which
will not likely effect the final results,
but might involve an expenditure OF
time sufficient to delay the work of the
convention.
The. principal interest centers on
the caucus of the New York delega-
ton, which takes place at noon, for
the attitude of that delegation and the
delivery of its big bunch of rs votes
will without doubt, have a moral eff
tect to say nothing of its being the
possible balance of power in the con-
vention. The majority of the delega-
ton seems to favor Bryan, but there
is a group Of veteran fighters on the
delegation who are opposed to the Ne
braskan, and they may be able to
swim gthe whole rs votes against him.
Vigorous protest against what they
call the gag rule in the national
House of representatives, will be
made nv tb. committee on resolutions

As TO SUNDAY CLOSING.
The Laredo Times says: Now that
the lid has been placed on tight in
Brownsville there will be much Gu
riosity to note how much more money
the neighboring city of Matamoros
Just across the river in Mexico. will
take in on Sunday than she has been
doing in the past. Let US watch and
see. The increase is hardly percepti-
BILE. yet we're it very large, Browns
vile could well afford to stand it.
The general good that comes to
Brownsville from a strict enforce
ment of the Sunday law is worth
more to her in a single day that could
possibly be the money spent for whis-
key and beer in Matamoros in a
thousand Sundays, even though that
money should go from Brownsville.
The saloon man is in the business
for the money there is in it, and GER
tainly he has no more right than any
other business man to violate the
laws of the land or set public senti-
ment at defiance. The sooner the
saloon man becomes thoroughly i'm
pressed with this idea, the better it
viii be for himself and for the cause
he represents. If people insist on
spending their Sunday money" in
riotous living, it is better for Browns
vile in a thousand ways that they
cross the river and spend it in Mata-
moros. FL Paso, a city on the Rio
Grande far north of here, was the
first Texas city to suppress gamb-
ling. and the first border city to en-
force the Sunday law. certain ele-
ment said these things would ruin FL
Paso, but go to Ell Paso now and ask
the people what they think of the
enforcement of the laws there, and
they viii tell you that the only eff
feet has been the city's good
Brownsville was the last border city
to enforce the Sunday law and, as
it was in Ell Paso. the effect here
will be only for Brownsville's good.
Some people hold money above vir-
tue and decency. but such people look
only to their own selfish interests and
the good of the community never
enters their minds Brownsville has
made a great step forward in enforc-
ing the Sunday law. and Brownsville
cannot afford to go backward.

But make the little journey to Massachusetts,
and one such man or woman is found for every
5SS of the population, the greater part of them
operating with the greatest openness and with

Go on to Rhode Island and we find one such

Why did not Mr. Gilmore take these states into
consideration?
Let us also visit New York, which already has,
so far as the statute can make it, pretty nearly
model license law" The state of New York had
in the Census year, 1900, which must be the basis
of our computation in this state as in other
states population of 7,26s,s94. In the year 1905
the state licensed 26,347 people to sell Intoxicating
liquors. or lawful liquor seller for every 275
of the population of the state
But it may interest Mr. Gilmore to learn that,
in addition to these lawful liquor dealers, licensed
by the state, there were 1881 bootleggers,
rades and fellow workers of those boot1eggers of
Maine, operating in the state of New York, or
one unlawful iquor-sel1er for every 942 of the
population, in addition to the one lawful liquor
seller for every 275 of the population.

By this time may begin to guess that Mr.
Gilmore knows how to build statistical tables to
show what he wants to show.
Mr.. Gilmores philosophical remarks concern
ing prosperity and population interesting and
will doubtless be very convincing to the barroom
loafers who read them.
But what are the facts?
1t is true that Maine, like of the other
eastern states has not grown largely in population
Its natural resources are small, and it has sent
its young men and women by the hundreds of
thousands to settle the great West Today Maine
ranks only thirteenth in population among the
states of the Union, but there are only six states
in the Union that outrank her in the total amount

section of the size of six square miles, there
would be, in addition, an unlawful liquor seller.
To make the illustration little mort tangi-
BILE: If section of the state of Maine five miles
square be taken, there will be found upon that
twenty-five square miles, twenty-five twenty
eghths of one of Names poor, skulking wretches
who try to sell liquor. If section of the same
size of the Empire State be taken. there will be
found upon that twenty-five square miles four
teen defiant liquor-seers glorying in their con-
trbut1on to the revenues of the great state and
with them four bootleggers. In other words,
given section of territory in the state of New
York has four times as many bootleggers as can
be found upon similar section in the state of
Maine, in addition to its army of lawful LIQUOR
sellers.
A comparison between Maine and one other
license state may, perhaps, be proftably made
The state of Ohio might make some claim to have
model license law" In 1905 Ohio had $50
lawful liquor sellers. In addition it had 6,379
bootleggers paying the United States revenue, and
more or less successfully violating the laws of
the state of Ohio.
In other words, on the average five miles square
piece of Ohios territory, there were eight liquor
sellers holding the authorization of the great and
good Buckeye State to poison their fellowmen,
and four "despicabe creatures" poisoning their
fellowmen without the authorization OF the state
Let us now see what can be learned from OBJ
serving Mr.. Gimore's figures with regard to
North Dakota. 1t is true that in the year 1905
one man or woman for every 241 people in the
state of North Dakota enough interested in
an attempt to violate the prohibitory law of that
state to believe it to be worth while to pay the
United States retail liquor dealers tax.
But why does not Mr.. Gilmore tell us that just
across the line, in Montana, where there is no
prohibitory law, with its "pernicious influence"
there was liquor seller paying the United
States tax for every 1Os people in the state while
