SHOULD SUBMITTHE CUES
TON.

The struggle that is now being
made to prevent the legislature from
submitting the question of state pro-
hibition to a vote of the people is al
wrong. In the first place the ques-
ton of prohibition is no one that
should be fought out in the legisla
ture. 1t is one which the people of
the state should settle for them
selves. The majority of the demo-
Gratis of Texas have asked that the
question be submitted, and the state
democratic convention actually
adopted resolutions favoring the SUBJ
mission of the question. Many of
those who favored submission. are
opposed to statewide prohibition,
. but they are true democrats and do
not believe in curtailing the right of
the people to petition their legislative
bodies They will vote against pro-
hibition, but they will not condone
an action on the part of the legisla-
ture to prevent the people from vot-
ing on the question. Such a course
would be undemocratic, inconsistent
with the true spirit of democratic
government And worse, the legis-
iature being composed almost entire
Iy of democrats, it would be equiva-
lent to acting in bad faith with the
people who elected the members,
with the party which stands sponsor
for them. should those members,
refuse to submit the amendment in
accordance with the resolutions
adopted by the last democratic state
convention. The Herald admires the
firm stand taken on this question by
Representative Canales of Browns
vile, who, in his speech favOring the
submission of the question, an
nounced that, although his district
had voted against submission, yet the
general election had shown unequivo-
cally that it was the will of the ma
iority of the democratic party of
Texas that the question should be
submitted to vote; that the will of
the democratic party, as expressed
by the majority vote should rule. 1t
would be a shame on the democratic
party in Texas. if the powerful liquor
lobby that is now known to be fight
ing submission at Austin. should sue
coed in inducing the legislature to de-
feat the submission of the question to
the people of the state.

essarily advance the prices. This
is particularly true of lead aud
zinc, the supply of which must
depend on the production of the
mines, as comparatively but little
surplus has accumulated during
the long period of low prices, as
the production ceased from many
mines as soon as the price drop
ped below the cost of production.
1t is only reasonable to expect
that with the revival of business,
prices for lead and zinc must
reach a higher level, as the time
required to produce these metals
is such that a surplus is not like
ly to accumulate during normal
conditions. The general feeling
among the metal dealers is that
higher prices must obtain, estab-
fishing a new higher level, for
all the metals, in accordance with
the higher prices of living and
cost of production, together with
the fact that the lead and zinc
supply must come from low grade
mines, which cost more to pro-
duce a ton of either metals than
when free ore mines were the
main source of supply for the
market. This is only following
the history of other metals, par
ticularly gold and iron, which
markets for years, we're supplied
from the high grade mines, but
today the larger portion is taken
from the low grade mines in both
metals. Likewise it will be with
the lead and zinc supply; their
principal source will be the low
grade mines, which means higher
level of prices. The total amount
of lead and zinc marketed for the
past week from this camp was
zinc ore zoe, $50 pounds, while
but COLO pounds of lead was
turned in, which brought S13,s 77,

make the heart force the blood

it is the fault of the nerves

Commonwealth Of Colorado that 1t is
regarded among things sacred. Many
years ago, when a society formed for
that purpose had under consideration
the matter of designating a state
flower there were two factions. the
"Columbines" and the Mariposas."
The latter faction insisted that the
Mariposa lily, fragrant but fragile
flower. should be accorded the honor.
There followed friendly but spirited
debate on the floor OF the State Scu-

majority in favor of the Columbine

Value; zinc, $2,73o.
The most positive evidence OF
the improving conditions of the
general business throughout this
country is the steady advance in
prices of the metals. Copper has
show n a good advance, while sill
yer, lead and zinc have also par
ticipated in much better prices.
Iron and steel have had a much
better demand, which has put in
to commission IS per cent of the
available capacity of the steel
mills, and as lead and zinc are
used in a relative proportion with
steel. the outlook for a better de-
mand, and a corresponding better
price for both metals must be the
logical result. The past sixty
days have demonstrated this to
a marked degree, as prices for
both metals have shown a sub
stantial advance. During the
week zinc ore prices advanced
from SAL to $43.50 base, top ore
being as high as S45 per ton.
Lead prices were held steady at
S57 to $50, Notwithstanding
higher price was paid for pig
lead, both at st. Louis and New
York. No doubt the better prices
for pig lead will show in next
weeks ore market. With the re-
turn of normal conditions
throughout the country, which
means the revival of new con-
struction, which must follow, the
demand for all the metals, which
so largely enter into modern con-
struction of all kinds, must nee

To Maxwell Owners:
Dear Sir:-As the approach of colo

call attention 10 the matter OF safe
guarding the water system in youi
automobile against freezing. There
lures to be placed In your radiator:
the cheapest and best. however. is
denatured alcohol. A ten per cent So
luton of alcohol will withstand q
temperature OF 15 degrees above zero
A 25 per cent solution will Withstand
temperature OF zero. and n 40 per
cent solution will Withstand a tenn
perature OF 20 degrees below zero,
Generally speaking. however. a rs
per cent solution will be found sum-
Client in this climate, except in the
very coldest weather. As alcohol
evaporates more rapidly than water
any loss should be replaced by equal
parts of alcohol and water.
Trusting you will take precautions
TO prevent any damage to your ma
chine through freezing. we are.
