That the wave Of opposition through,

seems to be receding was the key
note of the reports from the various
State organizations made today at
the closing Of the sess on OF the Ma
tional Liquor League.
The concensus OF opinion expressed
at the convention was that the best
interests OF the liquor trade would
be conserved by having the number
Of saloons limited according to pOpu'
lation.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
that THE industry has been over
legislated, over-abused and over-taxed
in the furthersnce Of creed of cult
that is basIcally un-American and al
absolute variance with every princi'
pie of liberty. civic righteousness

Anti saloon League is a menace to

The FLORENCE OF TODAY.

The CITY If Florence is in an en-
yiable condition at the present time
when compared with other Colorado
cities of like size. Some years ago
this was much doomed town.
Values of all kinds were inflated an
Fictitious. Rents were abnormally
high and intrinsic values of property
were not seriously considered when
deals were made. Like all other
booms this one collapsed and Flo ence
began to gradually settled back to
her true position. 1t is human
nature for the mind of man to dwell
upon future greatness and strive
for greater and still greater attain

level plane of earnest work .a-day life.
So it has been of Florence A few
years ago, when the boom had sub
sided, there were those who felt
that prosperity would never again
come this way.
That this sentiment was not we'll
founded is proven by conditions of
today. Florence is on the very bed
rock of stability and is enjoying
more good fortune than almost any
town in the state. Quietly. grad
ually, but steadily, she is making
real advancement, both as a city and
as individuals Business men and
merchants, as we'll AS mechanics and
laborers are doing as we'll here, and

in most Cases better, than men in like
callings elsewhere.
When one looks about him and
notes the many improvements going
steadily forward, when he stops to
compare this with other places or
hears the statements Of those who
frequently visit other towns, and
when he bears in mind that there are
very few men iule and that no where
do people have more money for pleas
u1e trims or the theater and other
expenses, he knows these things are
true and that citizens are prosperous.
Nowhere in Colorado are there
more wealth Producing resources, no
climate, no where better water, no
where better schools or churches, no
where q more moral or law abiding
population. We have everything a
country city can have to make it a
desirable place to live. 1t is very
true we are still improving and that
there is yet great opportunities for
more Improvement. This is not
perfect city nor will it or any other
IL ,lop hn hnf
about as near perfection as we can
expect to find until for us the pearly
gates swing wide ajar.
What we need to do to help mako
it better is to cut out the kicking and
pulling apart; cut out the discomfort
and the brooding and the complaining
of the way the other fellow conducts
his business. and Q down to doing
our own work the very best we know
how to do it and every time we have
an opportunity give helping hand
to our neighbor. Just boost-and not
blame the other fellow for doing
we ourselves would do; nor
condemn him for not accomplishing
that which we could not do as we'll
as he has done.
There is no way in which we can
serve our own interest better OF make
ourselves more happy. Life is pretty
much what we make it and the world
is very ready to value us at our in.
trinsic value.
