Liquor Men Awakening.

Denver.-A joint meeting Of the
liquor organizations in Denver was
held at the Albany hotel Monday
night, some 200 members of the vari-
Gus associations being represented.
Among those present were members Of
the Retail Liquor Dealers Associa-
tion. Wholesale 4 Retail Association,
Saloonkeepers' Union No. /. and many
of the local brewers. a. NJ. Eppsteln
presided over the meeting, announcing
the various numbers on the program.
This was the first active meeting OF
the liquor interests since the present
campaign began. There has been
much agitation in favor Of temperance
and up to Monday night no particular
interest has been taken in the cam
paign by the liquor men. From
speeches made there they apparently
believe they have hard fight on their
hands and are prepared to meet 1t in
the best possible way.
Among the speakers. aside from the
POSTMASTER. were George Beechcrer,
president OF the Saloonkecpers' union;
Adolph Zang, Harry w. Snyder, Har.
vey Il. Garman, W. Il. Welch and
others.
Mr.. Garman put the issue plainly be
fore the liquor men. He said that not
only two or three wards are in danger
from the dry wave. but many others
may be affected II some active effort is
not made to save them.
Some OF the wards who think they
are immune are In just as much dan
ger as Others that are known to be In
danger" he said. III any liquor dealer
In Denver fancies that his interests
are not In danger he should not sleep
upon any sweet dream like that"

UNPR0FITABLE DREAMS.

He does not care for common things,
Like doing simple chores,
But how his fancy takes on wings
And with what ease it scars
AS he sits by the kitchen stove
When daylight is near spent
And tells how things would start to move
II he were president.
The barn needs shingIing, since 1t leaks
With every shower of rain.
FOR axle grease the wagon squeaks,
And tons OF hay have lain
Through half dozen showers or SO
The while his dreams are bent
On how the trusts would have to go
If he were president.
His fences from neglect are down,
The cows are in his corn
He saw them, with an angry frown,
A week from yestermorn-
and yet to making some repair
No useful aid he's lent.
He's thinking how the rogues would fare
II he were president
lie started out to milk the COW
A half an hour ago
And met neighbor with his plow,
So sat right down TO show
How evil are the times and what
This vice Of grating meant
And what would be ard what would not
IL he were president.
The pump Is out Of order quite
And will but wheeze and squeak,
And so his willing wife at night
Bears water from the creek
Because he must have time to think
Not how to pay the rent
But how he'd make the neighbors blink
II he were president
and you, my friend, does your barn leak
Your fences need repair?
Does your pump never wheeze and squeak
From lack of little care?
Or do you sometimes shirk your chores
And is your fancy bent
On healing economic sores
With you as president.
