FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS OF
THE ALBANY HOTEL

Of Denver to meet the constant
growing demand for rooms with bath.
The Albany Hotel of Denver, during
the year of 1912, has expended S163-
600 in improvements, all to give the
Albanys many patrons improved ac-
commodations at popular price. The
business of the Albany since these i'm.
provements have been made has sur.
passed the most sanguine expecta.
tions of the owners.
The constant demand for room with
bath at a popular price is steadily
increasing, and to meet these require.
ments The Albany Hotel has set aside
a large sum to eNpend in the next
few weeks in Improvements and to
give the Albany still a larger mum
ber of rooms with bath, at s1.5O and
$500 per day.
One hundred and sixty-three thous
and dollars for improvements is a 10,
of money to be expended by one hoteI
in single year, but the Albany man.
agement has found this expenditure OF
money was wisely made. as the con
stant increase of patronage justifies
further expenditure to fill the Ions
felt want, that of sufficient room.
with bath at $3.50 and $500 per day
Further Improvements are alsC
contemplated on the ground floo
which will add to the Albany's alread,

DID THE WOMEN DEFEAT THE
PROHIBITION AMENDMENT
Communicated

Communicated
Injustice is being heaped upon the
women of Colorado in connection with
the prohibition amendment, but that
does not arouse our Indignation so
much as the readiness with which
the people accept the idea
1t is true some women did work at
the polls against the amendment, and
many men did the same thing. There
were organizations of women in Den
YER and Colorado Springs for local op-
ton as opposed to statewide prohi.
bition. and why not
If the liquor interests can so para
lyze the conscience that many busi.
ness and professional men will allow
their names to be used as opposing
prohibition and hire ar army of men
at five or ten dollars a day to put
forth every effort to defeat the
measure is it not logical that sis.
ters. wives and daughters with the
same environment will take the same
position
Citizenship like morals should be
measured by the same standard for
both sexes.
The injustice of the denunciation
is farther emphasized by the fact that
the last census shows that there are
5S,223 more voting men than voting
women in the state. Women are not
only handicapped by lack of numbers
but they do not control any political
party, pulpit or platform or press OF
the state.
By a careful canvass in some of the
larger towns it was found that moi
one vi nan in a hundred would vote
against prohibition but were decided
in their stand for the measure while
their husbands gave enasive answer.
or were oppenly opposed.
Election returns, if correct. prove
that majority of men, even some
Christian men voted with the whisky
folks and the responsibility for tht
defeat Of the amendment as well a.
the continuation of the traffic mus
rest upon them.
What the women did do will be tbs
