Want OIL Law Amended.

Washington.-Upon the petition Of
nearly 200 citizens of Denver and Colo
RADIO Springs, an effort will be made
to secure an important amendment to
the oil land act of June 25, 1910, of
great interest to the West. The petit
TONERS are those who had initiated
rights to coal lands in Routt county.
Colorado. prior to the withdrawal act
-expending from 500 to $3.50 on each
claim. They seek an amendment Of
the oil act to save to them the same
rights as extended to oil prospectors
under that measure, and such a bill
will be introduced soon. The act of
June 25, 1910. expressly recognized
the initiated rights of oil prospectors,
whose titles were not affected by the
new law. The coal locators now plead
for the same protection. One Colo
RADIO case was taken to the secretary
OF the interior on appeal. but met with
an adverse decision both here and at
the local land office.

Protest from Eagle County.

Washington. - Representative Tay-
lor called on Secretary Fisher to file
protest forwarded to him by the
commissioners of Eagle county, re-
garding power site Withdrawals. The
secretary has taken the matter under
advisement, but there is little hope for
any modification of the executive or
der. The petition and protest from
Eagle county recites that about all of
the land fit for agricultural develop
ment in that portion OF Colorado is
along Eagle and Grand rivers and
that this immense area has been with
drawn by the Interior Department for
power site purposes. The result has
been to stop all agricultural devel-
opment, as the withdrawal Of all
available agricultural lands prevents
settlement and deprives the state of
taxes 1t would receive were these
lands open to settlement.

There can be no circumstances justi-
flying the anonymous letter. If one
is afraid to own what he writes he
should not write. 1t is amazing to
us that men land sometimes women)
will resort to this lowfung practice
to crafty their spleen without ex-
posing their bones. No person who

onymous letter. We make this state
ment without reservation. It is i'm
possible for a gentleman to think of
such thing and Of course no lady
will do what a gentleman would
shrink from with horror. If ever
under any circumstances you have
been tempted to give "piece of

signing your name to it, let us i'm
plore you, good friend, to resist the
devil, for it is a temptation that
comes straight from the pit. A sober
second thought will convince you of
the infamy of such proceeding,
and if you have spark of manhood,
it will mantle your cheeks with

It's Not a New Theory.

That prohibition is not a new
theory but is as old as the use Of
liquor is verified by history. 1t is
said that eleven hundred years be-
fore Christ a Chinese emperor de-
creed that all grape-vines be pulled
up by the roots and burnt to ashes,
and that China has been sober ma
ton ever since. 1t is also fact that
Lycurgus did the same thing in
Greece, that Draco in his laws made
drunkenness capital offence, and
that the Carthaginians prohibited
drinking in their army three hundred
years before the Christian era. The
testimony of history is that prohibi-
ton has made people more virtuous
and nations more illustrious. From
