The coreless apple has been produc-
ed. according to Sampson Morgan. in
the Nineteenth Century Magazine.
He regards it as the worlds greatest
discovery in horticulture and fruit
growing circles call it the wonder OF
the age. The flavor Of the coreless
apple is beyond question, says Mr..
Morgan, who prophesies that because
it possesses one fourth more solid flesh
than seedy apple of equal proportions
it will revolutionize the commercial
apple industries everywhere. The core
of the new apple is red, dotted with
yellow on the skin. AS with the seed
less orange, so with the seedless apple.

PROHIBITION AND LOCAL OPTION

Iuo PuA W huo AooAS~ -
quasi official document from its ma
tional headquarters which almost
amounts to a declaration of war upon
the local optionists. 1t blames the
latter for the diminished prohibition
vote in the last election, declares that
local option is farce and claims that
wherever it has been adopted by the
electors the Probitionists did the pre-
liminary work which made it possible.
The Prohibition party men never have
been remarkable either for common
sense or for rigorous veraoity. Both
those Lighly admirable qualities are
more or less sacrificed in the above
statements. No we'll Informed person
who calls local option farce can pos
sibly feel that reverence for facts
which is so extremely becoming to a
worker in a good cause. The single
incident that local option has appreci-
ably diminished the Federal revenue
from whisky effectually disposes of all
such wild charges. If local option
we're truly failure, neither the liquor
interests nor the Prohibitionists would
oppose it so bitterly as they do. The
liquor mems sole imaginable reason
for disliking local option is that it
diminished their trade. If it had no
effect upon their sales they would dis
regard it just as they have dis
garded the GOOD Templars' lodge.
Whoever heard of the whisky trust as
sailing that meek and maidenly in
stitution?
. The Prohibitionists oppose local
option because it does in stein reality,
without fuss and feathers, what they
do in vain theory and false pretense.
Local option asks no political office for
anybody. 1t runs counter to no mans
principles and infringes upon nobody's
personal liberty. It represents the
liquor business to the people as an
economic problem demanding solu-
tion and quietly asks "What are You
going to do about it?" It accepts help
from Republicans and Democrats with
equal thankfulness and so conducts its
campaigns that the voter can advance
its cause without hindering other mea-
sures which may interest him stimuli
taneously. This. it seems to the Ore
gonian, is genuine practical wisdom;
and the course of events certainly con-
firms our view of it. What did the
Prohibitionists ever gain for actual
temperance in the palmy days of their
party when they used to make those
preposterous campaigns of vitupera-
tion, reproaoh and hysterioal oratory?
In long series of years they won VIC
tories in two or three states, but how
long did the victories last? Iowa PRE-
sently repudiated prohibition altogeth'
er. Maine kept it up persistently as a
sham thelgh she never had the cou-
rage to make it real. Kansas held to
it in about the same way until the
local optionists became strong enough
to make the law enforceable. Port

"A young woman in Chicago COM
mitted suicide the other day because
she was tired of life. In the note she
left behind she stated that she was
because OF dependency over any af-

not take her own life because she had
been disappointed in some OF her

cause she was tired OF the hum-drum
toll OF daily existence. She was tired
OF the common place drudgery OF life
In a big city and declared that there
were too many cares and too little
music. flowers and laughter.
Seriously speaking. we can under
stand how in Chicago or in fact in any
large city, there is too little OF ma
ture to compensate the heart OF one
who longs for the beautiful. Too little
fresh air, too little grass and too
much of the mechanical. Life in a flat

shape by very little expense and this
should be done by the county commits
sioners.
Nobody OF any consequence In
Canon City has any desire to discrimi-
nate in the least against Florence in
road building. Our interests are iden-
teal. We will both be benefited by
every road that has been suggested.
First of all a good road of even
grade should be built between Canon
City and Florence. The present road
is about the worst in the country.
This should be done at county expense
and it would be money we'll spent II
such a road were built on both sides
Of the river.
That done we should push a good
road west from Canon City to Salida
and from Florence east to Pueblo.
This should receive a good deal Of
, state aid and such a road will have
strong backing in Pueblo and Salida
and west.
yer Creek will show that the road
proposed from Colorado Springs will
reach both towns just as surely and
benefit each place just as greatly as
the roads from Pueblo and Salida-
Florence and Canon City have long
ago out grown the petty animosities
that existed in the earlier days and
we should grow closer together. II
we work together on this good roads
proposition We have much to gain for
both towns. Canon City sent forty
people over to Colorado Springs to
talk good roads. If Florence had sent
! half as many that town would be
alive with active interest in favor Of
