MUST STOP DRINKING

Down in Colorado Springs, our only
rival in the west as resort town, the
authorities are taking hold of every
point to make the town dry. The drug
store saloons have been refused the
right to sell booze, and now comes the
city attorney with a proposed ordin'
ance that will prevent drinking in all
public places. The ordinance as it
will be presented to the Colorado
Springs couneilmen, reads as follows
An ordinance relating to the drink
ing of intoxicating liquors:
Be it ordained by the city council
of the City of Colorado Springs:
Section l. No person shall drink
any Intoxicating liquors upon any
street, avenue, alley, park, vacant lot,
or grounds, or in any public building
or in any public or open stairway, or
in any dining room, corridor, office or
halls of any hotel, or in any public
place within the jurisdiction of this
city.
Sec. 2. The words Intoxicating
| liquors. as used in this ordinance
shall mean all distilled, spirituous, vim
GUS. fernented or malt liquors.
Sec. 3. Any person violating any of
| the provisions of this ordinance shall
be fined not less than 500 nor more
that $500 for each offense.
Since Colorado Springs is resort
town, the peope of Glenwood would dc
well to watch the outcome of the fight
being made there against the liquor
traffic. If colorado Springs keeps oE
her present lick, she will be far in the
lead for total prohibition.

P1TTsBuRa GREATLY EXERCISED

John Reed Scott, until recently a
member of a prominent law firm of
Pittburg, Pa, has set the tongues of
Pittsburg smoke breathers to wagging
rs never before and all, so it is said,
because he had the nerve to get be
hind 4 novel that portrayed the social
lfe in the eastern city.
1t is said the novel deals with the
subject in manner that leaves no
doubt as to the fact that the writer
left his gloves outside his study, in
fact, there are some who claim. he took
long toothed curry-comb instead.
According to press reports, the book
has disclosed the hiding places of u
II mber of Pittsburg's social skele-
tons and brought them before public
.ew in such way that no one dares
controvert what he says. AS resn,t
tho Pittsburg people are up and COM
ing. and have demanded that their
book sellers refuse to handle the "ter
rlDie DOok, tne pook that SHOWS ~pH'e
of the high-flyers in their true light.
1t will be remembered that the little
eastern smoky city has had several
revelations during the past two or
three years, but this last one is said
to have capped the climax. Be that
as it may, it is deplorable that social
conditions in any town or city should
reach such standard that the society
leaders should dash under cover every
time some writer asks them few
questions. The wonder is that such
conditions are permitted in city that
is so close to Boston, the so-called hub
of the universe.

A FRIEND TO COLORADO

Colorado certainly has 4 true friend
in Washington in the person of Sen
ator Guggenheim, and if some of those
who have criticised our junior senator
would get some of their statesmen TO
line up in Colorado s behalf as Gug-
genheim is doing, it would not be nee
ess;Iry for the Grand Junction cham
Der of commerce to send a committee
to Washington to intercede in behalf
of the fulfillment of the High Line
contract, which had already been sign
ed by Secretary Garfield.
The people of the western slope have
taken steps in earnest to secure the
construction of the High Line canal
by government aid, and have met ev.
cry requirement insisted on by an cx-
acting department, even to the extent
of putting their good money against
the dollars of Uncle Sam, to tide over
temporary shortage.
And yet the matter is held up-no
one knows exactly why, although an
ancient specimen of tottering states
manship, who has held almost life
lease of a soft snap at the hands CT
Colorado's legislative voters, has been
accused of playing false to those who
were but yesterday his constituents.
Be that as it may, it can be said
that in the darkness incident to an ap-
parently broken contract, Senator SIM
on Guggenheim was about tho only
man of influence in Washington 10
throw himself into tho breach, and pull
| for right and justice to the people OF
the western slope. We shall certainly
appreciate all the help that may come
from democrat or republican in the a.
tempt of the western slopers to secure
their rights in this matter, but we can
never forget that Senaor Guggenhe1r
was the first to the rescue.

DIG THEIR POLITICAL GRAVES

On Thursday of last week seventeen
democrats in the United States senate
took up their shovels and made deeper
their political graves and by so doing
made the hopes of democracy ever be-
ing n strong factor in governmental
affairs far less than it has ever been
The lower house of congress had vot-
ed to allow iron ore to he admitted
free of duty. This step was taken
that the great steel trust might be
forced to give the American people the
game prices that it makes to the for
eign buyers. But seventeen democrat
ic senators thought the iron ore should
have duty of twenty-five per cent.
placed on it.
The democrats, who thus voted for
the steel trust, and threw cold water
in the faces of the people who want
the trusts to play square with the peo-
pie, were Bacon, Bailey, Chamberlain,
Clay, Daniel, Fletcher, Foster, Frazier,
Johnson, of Alabama; McEnery, Mar
tin, Paynter, Simmons, Stone, Taliafer-
ro, Taylor and Tillman.
How like the Colorado legislature are
the democrats in Washington. As
matter of fact, the democrats all over
the country are hammering at the corn.
mon people every time they get
chance, and are working solely for the
trusts of the country. Just how the
old-time free traders can stand for
such work is a mystery, but the trusts
have complete control of the demo-
Gratis of the land, and do with them as
they see fit.
Why, even here in Glenwood, we are
told that certain democrats who have
always posed as opposed TO trusts and
corporations, are now trying to get "A
handsome income from the city coun-
ell. The local democrats ask for a
franchise and then want the city to
rent the plant to be built and pay the
democrats a rental of SO of the total
indebtedness of the company Surely
the democrats are showing their hands
and are not as much aaginst trusts and
get rich quick schemes as they would
have us believe.
In speaking of the democratic con-
gressmen who favor protective tariff,
the Colorado Springs Telegraph says in
part:
More and more it develops, as the
tariff fight goes on, that it is largely
a local issue. Some men are inquiring
whether there is democratic party,
in the Light Of recent events and votes.

N the house when the measure wa,

In the house when the measure was
under consideration, thirty-five MEM
bcrs of the Democratic party voted in
favor of duty upon hides. These thir-
ty-live included the three democratic
members from Colorado, who evidently
ucted with the idea that they were aid
ing their cattle growing constituents
by protec ting hides. More than likely,
however, they were aiding the beef
trust in Chicago.
On another vote, some thirty five
members of the democratic party voted
against free lumber. In view of the at
titude of old time democrats upon the
subject of free trade, and particularly
of free lumber and hides, this vote is
significant, and in some respects re-
markable.
And it was only yesterday that var
ious other senators departed from their
party program upon the subject of pig
lead. The finance committee made the
duty two and one-eighth cents, but a
number of republicans voted with the
democrats for a lower duty. And two
senators, Hughes of Colorado, and Nc
Emery of Louisiana, voted with the
republican majority, for the purpose
of protecting 4 state industry.

THE FACTS IN THE CASE

Under the above caption some one
who evidently does not care to make
known his identity, but prefers to hide
behind the nom de plume of Stock
holder" in recent issue of the Av'
alanche, takes the Post to task in re-
gard to its account of the recent in
iunctive suit brought by few of the
stockholders of the Farmers Irriga-
tion company against the board of di-
rectors thereof to prevent the latter
from disposing of half of the stock Of
the company to the Autlers Orchard
Development company, under certain
contract.
Our critic accuses the Post of try
ing to persuade the people ITO sell their
interest in their water system at a
sacrifice, something we would not
think of doing, and says that they
have twice before had better offers
than the Devereux people have made.
We believe that statement is true, but
the writer forgets to state that these
offers were simply wind, there being
no financial guarantee whatever be,
hind them. He further forgets to
state that at one time the stockholders
voted to give the entire unissued am.
cunt of stock of the company, amount
ing to sl3s shares, to a company which
would take up the indebtedness of the
company, which at that time was only
abont 700. To bN snre. in this ar
rangement the old stockhoaders were to
retain the priority right, the new COM
pany to take a subsequent priority,
but to have the right to fix the ditch
and reservoir to s,sit themselves.

~, taking seven wears to repair the

ers taking seven wears to repair the
old dam, but it is admitted by almost
everyone who knows anything about 1t
that much labor and money was thus
wasted because of a lack of concen-
tra.ed effort to say nothing about sev-
era! crops that have been lost owing
to the lack of water, this being due
not to any shortage in the stream but
to lack of carrying capacity in tho
ditch, and storage capacity in the res
ervoir.
AS to the present Indebtedness of
$l5. 900 and the statement that it is
not due and the company can take
care of it when necessary we beg to
state that the money was borrowed for
ninety days and that one of the notes
has already matured, and a new note
has been given. and further, that the
parties who were instrumental in Sc.
curing this temporary loan are among
the heaviest stockholders in the com
pany, and these are the people Who
| are anxious to secure the co-operat ION
of the Anrlers Orchard Development
| COMPANY, or some other company,
which, instead of dividing the water
rights of old-timers, as stockholder'
seems to fear, will increase the avail
able supply of water several fold ~
that the present stockholders, at prac-
tically no cost to themselves, will hive
greater supply of water than at pres
ent. while there would be enough left
for the company to irrigate all the rest
of .he rich and beautiful mesa.
The Post knows that it is only Il
matter of supplying greater ditch ca
pacity, and greater storage capacity,
and this the Antlers company proposed
TO do. Our only interest in the matter
| is to see that whole mesa q waving

NOT aERMANE TO THE QUESTION

The decision of Judge Wellborn, of
Los Angeles, in the forestry case. where
in he holds that criminal proceedings
will not lie against those who Craze
stock on forest reserves without having Z
secured government permission will be
paraded all over the country as souni-
ing the death knell of so-called Pin
chotism, whereas there Is nothing to it
which should discourage Mr.. Pinchot in
the least.
Already the Avalanche has attempted
to write up the decision as something
wonderful under flashy headlines 90 Pin
chotiHn Rebuked in California; when
as matter of fact. Mr.. Pinchot and
his department long since gave up the
idea, if they ever had such an idea, OF
convicting people under the criminal
code for grazing on forest reserves with
out permit.
The fact that a man, under this de.
crsion, may not be convicted of crime
and sent to prison, if found grazing un-
permitted stock on forest reserve, by
no means alters the situation in Colo
RADIO where no attempt in this direction
has been made, at least not in recent
years.
The fact is that in Colorado we do
not of late hear much of the bombastic
talk about defying the government and
threats to Craze Uncle Sans reserves
without asking Uncle s permission to
do 50.
That spirit of rebellion has pretty
much died away, and now more stock
men than ever before feel friendly tt
the forestry system. and those who dc
not like it are doing just like some Of
those who don't like some of the regu
LDtions by the postoffice department OF
the general land office. They are re
specting the regulations and complying

Those in this section who have here
tofore shown some defiance toward tn,
government, and who have formerly de
MED the government the right to con
tro1 its own land have all shown thei
good sense this spring by taking ou
their permits.
The Post has not heard of one stock
man int ending to Craze cattle on the re
serves this year who has refused to ap
ply for a permit, and we assert that i
would take a mighty smooth agitato

The stockmen are wiser than the'
once were and they will not be deceiv

that only holds against the criminal o

going to jail-but nevertheless the,
