BOOSTER FOR THE PRESS

Evidently III. N. Burhans of the
Denver Motor club has a kindly feel
ing for the newspapers, as he expressed
himself along that line quite freely at
the good roads meeting Tuesday even
ing He stated that the papers in Fort
Collins were entitled to a great deal
of praise for the work they are doing
in boosting this city and Larimer coun-
ty. He said the papers should be given
the heartiest support of every citizen
and receive preference over everything
else. The columns are always open for
any project and much space is given
to the boosting of the community. He
said this county has many advantages
and that the newspapers We're telling
outsiders about it. The city is up to
date and the newspapers We're largely
responsible for this condition. The
speaker was very earnest in his re-
marks and he gave his audience to un-
derstand that the local papers were en-
titled to first consideration at all times
and should be encouraged in the work
being done.-Fort Collins Courier.

LIQUOR BUSINESS
SUFFERS BIG LOSS

Moving picture shows are declared by
revenue agents to be responsible, with
the high cost of living, for the start
ling decrease in the amount of beer
and other liquor consumed in Colorado
and Wyoming during the past year.
Frank w. Howbert, internal revenue
collector for the Colorado Wyoming dis
trict, reports for the fiscal year begin
ming June 80, 1911 and ending last
Sunday, not only a aecreue -, ,Un-
sumption of liquor, but big falling
off in number of cigars and cigarettes
smoked in the two STATES.
The report shows 1,441 ,554.25 fewer
gallons of beer, 299, ,5O6 fewer gallons
of whisky and other spirits, and about
100000 fewer cigars and cigarettes
paid taxes during the year than in the
previous one.
The revenues from beer tax were
$404,646, decrease of SAG, ,50l,75. The
revenue from spirits was $ll5,77S.50,
or $9,66l.5O less than last year.
From cigarettes and cigars the col
lections Were So, 1885, decrease of
$9,672.53.
"The man with little money" said
a revenue agent yesterday, "used to
spend most of his spare nickels ON
beer. Now his wife and children sp-nd
them on moving pictures. He too goes
frequently and finds that the "moy-
ies' are more amusing as loafng
place than the corner saoons.'

PRoGRESSIVES HAVE
NEW SCHEMBE

Denver, July 17.-As explained by
some of the progressives who attended
the conference at Colorado Springs,
their plan is to allow the republican
assembly toy go ahead,=and. nominate
Taft electors and submit candidates
for the primary election for state of
fcers. The progressives will then peti-
tion to get on the republican primary
ballot, and will only petition for such
officers as may be provided for in the
primary laws. If they get on the pri-
mary ballot and are successful at the
primary election, they will then run on
the republican ticket under the Taft
electors and will themselves scratch
for Mr.. Roosevelt. This is their latest
plan. In other words, they want the
strength of Mr.. Taft for themselves
with the privilege of voting for Mr..
Roosevelt.
"That is our plan and we expect to
carry it out if we can possibly do so, -
said one of the men today.
The Glenwood post., 1912-07-20

their owners are, as rule, fair, intelli
gent men and can be reasoned with. If
the social and political leaders want
better conditions generally, let them
appeal. not to the hundred million
known as the people, but to the few
thousand known as the newspaper boys.
Don't hire lawyer, or man to pray;
hire press agent.
Newspaper influence is the only
great influence that is steadily improv-
ing in morals. Politics is as disreputa
BILE as it ever was, and l believe worse.
Preachers of the different denomina-
tions are not only losing ground among
the people, but they are not as strong
morally and intellectually as they were
100 years ago. Women are dissipatins
their moral strength by engaging IL
suffragette movements, and in business;
+ believe no one will pretend that wo-
men are as great moral force today
as they were years ago. But the news
papers are not only increasing rapidly
in power, but they are rapidly becom-
ing stronger morally. The dishonest
newspaper is soon whipped into hon
esty; the newspaper business has set
tied beyond doubt that honesty is the
best policy.
The newspaper boys are noted be-
cause of their dislike of preachers and
churches, but they are saving them
selves without prayer; contact with the
world has convinced them that dishon-
esty will not do. Peter Bartlett Lee,
the old tramp printer, who had no rep
utatiOn except as a drunkard, has been
succeeded by gentlemen who operate
linotype machines. The od-time re
porters who were leeches on bartend-
ers and saloon patrons, are being sue
ceeded by better class. And the i'm
provements may be remarked among
managing editors editorial writers,
special writer's and newspaper owners
No other class of workers are SO con-
tinually in the limelight as newspaper
workers; no other class so generally
recognizes the Importance of fairness.
Thirty years ago there were many
newspaper "organs. There are few
"organs" now; instead of prominent
men controlling the newspapers, the
