STATEWIDE PROHIBITION.

Some persons cannot understand
why we have not expressed ourselves
on the question of statewide prohi-
tition. We have received numerous
lette S. always from the "drys," evil
dently taking the stand that since we
publish a church paper we must nee
essarily be for prohibition. These
people have been led to take this
stand by the fact that The Regis
ter has come out in the past not only
for temperance, but even for total
abstinence. But between these and
prohibition there is wide difference.
We are against prohibition firstly be-
cause it does not prohibit.
The writer has lived in Maine.
Maine is a dry state-on the stat
ute books. If you want drin's,
though, you don't have 10 20 te a
spigot to get it. The writer does not
drink, and never has. But he knows
something about conditions in Maine.
Most of the saloons in this state
are so superior to the "hlind tigers"
that will inevitably spring up in a
"dry" tourist state that there is abso-
lutely no comparison.
We are opposed to prohibition sec
ondly on ethical grounds. If a man
wants to drink temperately in his own
home, why should we deny him the
right? 1t is the abuse, not the use
of liquor, that is sinful. Christ Him.
self once changed water into wine.
We would favor national prohibi-
ton with the government dispensing
such liquors as men wished to use
temperately in their homes. But we
disapprove of the proposed Colorado
law.
Abuses in the liquor traffic of Colo
rado can be solved by the local op-
ton law mad by proper enforcement
Of our other legislation now on the
statute books. If such course will
not do the work as it should be done
other laws can be passed.-CatholiC
Register, Denver.
The above article is the best argu-
ment on the prohibition issue that
has to our mind been published, and
it is unfortunate that it can't be read
by every voter in Colorado.

TO THE VOTERS or THE
STATE OF COLORADO

Note what the five railway organ
izations have to say relative to what
Senator C. S. Thomas has done to-
wards the labor organization.
l have watched the voting of our
United States senators and congress-
men. United States Senator Thomas
has turned the working man down.
Congressman Seldomridge is NOT
FAIR.
Now for the voters Of La Plata
county see that Senator Thomas and
Congressman Seldomridge are not on
their ticket, as they are both profess
sional politicians, and are not worthy
Of the votes Of the working man.
There are several proposed changes
to be made in the state of Colorado.
Voters please read up on these
changes and familiarize themselves
with conditions therein, and vote for
the man that will look out for your
interest, and not for the PROFESS

Please note both of these men are
on the Democratic ticket.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 31.-A
few minutes after midnight tonight
Katy passenger train No. 26 from the
south will pull into the new Union
station and Kansas City will begin
the use Of the third largest railway

Proper celebration of the event be-
gun yesterday with reception of
railway officials, governors, congress-

ner by Fred Havey's force at the
station, closing with a grand mask
ball at the station, fireworks and the
burning in effigy Of the old union sta
ton, responsible for giving thousands
of travellers poor impression of the
Chicago Of the southwest"
Today the station is open to the
public for inspection, while the old
station in "the bottoms" is jammed

the voters tosa-tayer heat.
y AS a writer for leading Republi-
can paper expressed it today, There
is a general DeLef that the major
ity OF the now soiId Democratic dele
CATION and Senator Shiveiy will be
returned, due largely TO the activity
of the Progressives--so why should
anyone be excited! The politicians
have used every device to stir up ex-
citement, but the voters have con-
tinued much more interested in Eu-
ropean affairs.
Even less interest has been shown
in the constitutional convention issue
than in the various tickets. The Re-
publican and Progressive parties ia
vored constitutional convention in
their platforms and the Democratic
legislature passed resolution putting
it up to the people at this election
| whether they desired such conven-
ton. The legislature added the clause
/ that a majority of all voting at the
election is necessary to carry the con-
vention election. That having been
done, every peaker that took the
stump quietly ignored the constitu-
tional convention leaving that issue
to the Anti-Saloon league and the
suffrage advocates.
In three congressional districts the
Democratic congressman faced par
ticularly strong opposition. In the
second district VIM. A. Cullop was
said to be opposed by an element in
his own party. This element favor
ed Charles I. Hunt for the nomina-
ton and Cullop won by scant 2e
votes. He has served four terms
Oscar E. Bland, of Linton, Republican
candidate, appeared to be making a
strong race.
Ebert Russell, professor of biblical
literature in Earlham college, has
made a strong fight on the Progress
sive ticket against Finly II. Gray OF
wedding gift fame. Representative
John 3. Peterson is said to face a
more closely united Republican party
in the tenth, or will show big slump
but this is denied by the Progressives.
Betting Of the past two weeks has
been even money that Senator B. F.
Shively will be returned over Bev-
eridge and Huge 7. Miller, Republi-
can, by majority of $4,000.

French Say Germans VIII be Forced
Off French Soil

The political fight this year has
been directed against the two posi-
tions of governor and senator. Very
little has been said about any of the
other candidates. 1t has been taken
for granted that the voters would
support the rest of the ticket with
the men of the party for whom they
chose for these two positions. How
ever. we wont to stop long enough
to urge the people of the state to
support John Ramer for secretary Of
state. The other two candidates are
Edwin V. Brake and Mrs. Agnes Rid
die. There is no need discussing Ed
Brake. He II the man who, ~ labor
commissioner, sent one Of his dspu-
ties to Wyoming to organize and arm
msn to fght the government Of the
state, and he, himself, did the same
thing at Alamosa. Hence, there Ii no
need discussing Mr.. Brake. Mrs. Rid
die, the Progressive candidate, is one
Of the best women in the state, per-
sonally, but her chances for election
are so meagre that it is impossible
for her to be elected. Therefore, we
appeal to the people to take no
chances and to vote for Mr.. Ramer.
He Is well known throughout the
state, is as honest as u government
bond, has had years Of experience ~
deputy secretary of state, and, II
elected, will certainly elevate the po-
sition above the poitn it now occupies
where its employees can furnish arms
and ammunition to be used against
the state government without being
discharged. We feel that an appeal
of this kind is hardly necessary but
for fear there might be some one who
does not understand the situation, we
make this appeal for Mr.. Ramer.
