DEATH OF I. B. GRIFFITH

l. B. Griffith. the well known and pop
ular stockman of New Castle, after suf-
fering for several weeks died Thursday
afternoon in Denver hospital from
rheumatism of the heart.
Mr.. Griffith was so much improved
the first of the week and his condition
seemed SO favorable that Mrs. Griffith,
who up to that time had remained con
stantly at his bedside, felt that she
could safely leave and return to the
ranch where her presence was so badly
needed. She had just barely begun to
set things in order and arrange for the
spring work at the ranch when she re-
ceived telegram apprising her of her
husband 's death.
Mrs. Griffith left for Denver Thursday
evening, accompanied by Mrs. Eva
Trimble. The Post is not advised as tt
the arrangements for the funeral which
it is now understood will be held ii

INTERESTING MEET
OF RIFLE "DRYS''

The Methodist church was packed to
the doors Sunday night by citizens of
Rifle to hear the facts, figures and state
ments of truth which came from the
lips of +. +. Mclaughlin, the state slt
Rev. Mclaughlin began his address
promptly at s O'Clock. and for almost
two hours he turned the light of the
present day fight on the saloon business
until there was nothing left of the traf-
| fic but a few scattering shreds. Tie
facts which he presented We're those
| which the liquor people dare not at.
tempt to refute. They were facts which
have been carefully gathered from
| towns and counties which have been
living under the regime long enough &c
prove that it pays in every instance.
In fact, he left nothing for the liquor
people to put up for an argument ia
| favor of the saloon business.
| He called attention to the fact that
hIue, JHouSh IL udS always pec Id W't
town, is paying the highest rate of tax
alton of any town in the state. He
quoted various rates of taxation OF
towns in different parts of the state
which invariably showed that the dry
towns are paying the lowest taxes.
Mr.. Mclaughlin proved by examples
that those towns which are now dry
and which have been dry for several
years are the towns which are growing
faster in every ease than those which
are wet. This proves conclusively THAI
people from the east are looking for
the clean towns in which to locate and
raise their families, and We can see
where they are right in this matter.
There is no need in going beyond the
limits of our own county to prove the
correctness of this argument. Rifle is
one of the oldest towns in the entire
Estate, and why has it been so backward
in its development, if the saloons are
town builder-Rifle Reveille.

A COMPARISON
A Few Facts Showing the
Great Difference Between

ARRESTS ABOUT THIRD

Eighty-one arrests for drunkenness III
Grand .Iunet on from .Taauary /, 1909,
to March 20, 1905, win saloons.
Thirtvsix arrests for drunkenness in
Grand Junction from Ie9uary ]. 1910,
to March 90, 1910, without snlcons
Evidently according to the fgures,
the voting out of the saloons has accom-
plished something toward ridding Grand
Junction of the drunks, in spite of the
criticism of the old saloon followers and
their newspaper organ that the dry
town is a failure.
AS matter of fact, the showing in
favor of prohibition is much more con
vincing than the above figures would
seem to show. Under the old saloon
administration, which was in office 4
year ago, arrests were made as infr.
quently as possible. The campaign was
on, and the saloon crowd were not par
ticularly anxious to call attention to
the product of their joints. Unless a
man were SO paralyzed with drink that
he could not walk he was not there
fore, molested
On the other hand, it is admitted on
all sides that Mayor Todd, as head of
the police department, aided by Chief
Welch and the present force have no
such qualms against the arrests of
drunks. On the contrary, in their cam
palgn against the bootlegging they ar
rest every man against Legitimate
claim of drunkenness may be made in
the hope of eliciting information from
him that can be used in the prosecution
of bootleggers. OF the thirty-six men
arrested since January l. six were for
bootlegging, leaving only thirty who
were really drunk.
$50 long as there were saloons,'
said one of the commissioners yesterday
a man was allowed to go on ''toot" "
without being arrested. SO long as he
was not actually beastly drunk and
raising such disturbance that he could
not be passed by, he was allowed to go
home with his friends. But it's differ
ent now. If any man is caught now
with anything in his possession in tho
nature of a real jag he is hustled off
to the bat cave to sleep it off, and
tells his story the next morning to thu
police judge. If the arrests made this
year had been made according to last
years standard the number arrested
would not have exceeded 150,'' positive
ly declared the commissioner.-Gran
