PROHIBITION OR PROSPERITY.

Does Colorado want immigration
and capital to develop her resources,
or does she want to drive them away
as Kansas and Iowa have done?
Does Colorado want her wise and
tested local option laws repealed and
enforcement of the laws taken from
the hands of the city officials and
placed in those of the state authori-
ties? This will happen If statewide
prohibition Is voted for.
Does Colorado want low tax rate
or heavy burden of taxation which
is inevitable under prohibition?
Does Colorado want decreased
revenue by abolishing the saloon H.
cense without diminishing the sale or
use of liquor? That is what has oc.
CURED in prohibition states. Is there
any reason to suppose Colorado Will
be different from ali the rest?
Is not local option and local self.
government the right way, the best
way, the most practical way, to de-
eide the license issue?

"This first lesson merely consists in
telling the pupils that there are such
things as tiny plants so small that we
icannot see them. They may be in the
air; they may be on our hands, or on
our pencils, or chalk, or desks, or

must be removed from the tumbler for

Miss Gulick does not carry her course
much further than this. Her object is
to teach the children, by actual illus

them to determine for themselves In
what places and under what conditions
they are to be found. She does not
recommend carrying the instruction in
to the difficult processes of identified
itions, cultures and the delicate nsages'

the fact that there are good and bad
