This is fine figure of speech and sounds well, but
that is the extent of it. Construed logically it have
but meaning and that is that the who govern the
city and mold it's public opinion drunkards who
not in their right minds. Do you believe it?
The next stage of Bishop Spading's argument is the
statement that modern science has proved concusively

his viewpoint He did not call names he did not denounce

Next the Bishop said: Environment exerts ninety
nine per cent of the influences which form character

Bishop spalding's argument that children should

upon the utterly false premise that the taking of

Master Minds Not Abstainers

The best to this broad and unqualified

fact that A GREAT MAJORITY OF THE MEN WHO

This needs only The record in "dry''
states shows less consumption of liquor less drunk

The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1911-06-22

The third step in Bishop spalding's argument was:
That in of the passage of prohibition law it would
be only the liquor interests who would establish bnd
tigers and defy the law.
Liquor Interests Not Lawbreakers
Another fallacy statement not borne out by the
records of any state section that has been voted
In these states and sections the who defy the law and
sell liquor who would be given license to
conduct a legally regulated saloon in any community.
Next, Bishop Spalding declared That laws grow out
of customs and institutions and essentialo the pres
ervation of liberty.

Temperance VS.. Prohibition

Bishop spaldng's first statement to the effect
that everyone believes in temperance and the only ques
ton at issue is how best to attain it.
And from this he logically deduced the conclusion
that prohibition is good thing.
It is admitted that most sober minded well balanced
men and women believe in temperance, but to anyone
with capacity to think it apparent that there is wide
gulf between temperance and prohibition there is
between temperance and the abuse of any food drink
The very meaning of the word Temperance" modera
ton'-t cannot be otherwise construed How unfair to
base prohibition argument upon the efevident declar
alton that temperance is approved by ALL
AS the next step in his argument the Bishop pointed
out that the liquor interest is mpersona like corpora

How Charles W. GODDARD Found hor'

Soon After His Defeat for

One OF the most intimate personal
and political friends in all New York
that Horace Greeley ever had was
Charles w. GODDARD. who was a Repub-
lican OF much influence In Civil war
days. and. under the administration OF
Governor Fenton. captain Of the port
OF New York. In the late sixties OF

candidate for congress, and when Mr..
Greeley was appealed to to address

friend he responded with alacrity.
Moreover. Mr.. GODDARD was probably
the last of the personal friends OF the

The story of that meeting Mr.. GODDARD

OF the most intimate of the friends OF

There are now before the State
Legislature of Colorado three appro-

and important relation to the irriga-

bills were introduced by Senator Car

The first bill is entitled AN act
concerning a division of topographic
surveys, providing for the manage
ment and duties of the same, and for
cooperation by such division with the
United States geological survey, and
making an appropriation therefor"
The appropriation named in the bill
Is $4,000 annually. The nature of a
