CONCERNING DAWSON

Mrse- y. w. Ritter recently received
a letter from Mrs. Coulter, whom he,
Durango friends will remember ms
MISS Margaret Ramsay, which con.
talns some interesting information In

Coulter are visiting the towns of tho
Pacific coast. The latter says that
| Dawson is the best town thew have
visited so far.

CRUSADE TO KEEP
LIQUOR FROM REDMEN

Denver Republican.
A crusade which will forever end
the practice of selling or trading IL
uuors with Colorado Indians will be
inaugurated by inspectors OF the In
dian department of the federal govern
ment some time this week.
Evidence against liquor dealers near
the reservation in Colorado will be
secured by Jesse e. Flanders and A.
G. Park, inspectors of the department,
and they will lay the result of their
investigations before the next federal
grand jury.
Yesterday they consulted with
United States District Attorney Ward
and will leave for Durango today tc
investigate conditions among the Nav
ajo Indians and to secure evidence, II
possible, against the saloonkeepers
and druggists in that section of the
state who have been supplying the
redmen with liquor recently. Accord
ing to reports received by the officials
Of the Indian department, the Nayajo'
have been enabled TO secure liquor a
any and all times during the past two
years.

that the Indians in Colorado are fas
becoming proficient in agriculture, ant
that they are second to the Indians

TEMPERANCE ""
We notice quite an Interesting arti
o,o Inv Hugo Munsterberg inlthe Au-
,rst McClure's, concerning 'Prohibi-
t,on and Social Psychology-a-r = ..-...4...
ue deals with the fact that public
oninion too often results In hys'erical-
,v evtreme movements. While he ac-
tnowledges the terrible results which
alcoholism has brought about, still he
advances the argument that temper
ance is better than prohibition and
he gives several good reasons for this
opinion.
He brings into the lime light "the
lonely drinker Of the temperance
town" and says that Of all-ferms OF
drinking this is the worst and most
ruinous.
We all know 1t to be fact that al.
cohol in small quantities is not harm
full And we know there, is no harm
in a glass of beer or wine at dinner,
or when fatigued by the cares of busi-
ness or other work. $3.50
He further says that every individ. !.
ual has a craving for emotional excite,
ment and that temperate use OF
alcohol stimulates the brain for time
and gives the other much used brain
cells a rest, as well as satisfying the
craving for excitement. He says that
| IL prohibition is accomplished this
craving for excitement and variety
from the dull monotony of every day
life will result in crimes and other
forms of moral excitement, such as
gambling, sensationalism, burglary
and murder. ..-t.5.r., 4
He says: 1.-THE saloon must disap
pear and can be made to disappear
perhaps by lighter sveegse taxation
and many other meg "i
"The restaurant d Wtthe ho.
tel and the club, Isl 2Se fit public place
where guests sitting at tables may
have beer and wine with their meals
or after meals-and all controlled by
laws which absolutely forbid the sale
of intoxicants to certain groups a.
persons, to children, to inebriates and
so on"
This is a question of vital Import.
ance to the whole United States and
the time is not far distant when soMs
definite move must be made In one di
rection or the other. and an extreme
movement will result disastrously in
either case.
But the question is-will it be pos.
!, sible to SO regulate the sale of liquor
5 and pass such laws upon the question
, that we may have temperance and not
f prohibition?
