Says Governor Carlson About Fight
to Keep Denver Wet

During the visit of Gov. Carlson last
Friday he was interviewed by delega-
tion from the local w. C. 7. U. upon
the stand he proposed taking in the
Denver liquor fight and in no uncertain
terms he stated that the prohibition
law passed by the last legislature would
be enforced in Denver as well as thru
out the state.
President Norris of the w. C. T. U.
addressed the governor as follows:
ave come as committee representing
the w. C. T. u. of Rocky Ford, re-
memberinR the very emphatic way in
which you declared yourself in favor of
the amendment which carried last fall,
placing Colorado in the dry column, and
being very much interested in the strict
enforcement of the law. not only in
the rural districts. but in the cities of
our state as well, we come to ask you
to express yourself as to your attitude
regarding the enforcement Of this same
amendment.
We would respectfully ask il. as govern
or our state, it is your intention to make
the law as applicable to the city Of
Denver as to the other portions of the
state?"
The governor replied as follows:
Ladies | am glad to meet you and you
know where | stand on the dry question.
am behind the dry element, and we are
going to lick .em. | realize the brewers
have lots of money and the influence of
some of the prominent citizens of Denver.
and they are going to put up stiff fight
and do all in their power against the en-
forcement of the amendment.
"In other words. they are like drown
ing men-all trying to hold themselves up.
We are planning every day to fight this
element, but remember. we are going to

If you see a man leaning over the
railing of bridge intently watching
the river, with telephone receiver at
his ear do not think that the man is
trying to talk to the fishes or to a
diver below the surface. He is prob
ably one of the governments engi-
neers measuring the amount of water
passing under the bridge. This is
done by lowering an instrument,
known as a current meter. into the
water at several points under the
bridge to determine the speed of the
water and by measuring the depths
of the water at the same points.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation is now in the midst OF
a controversy as to how best to pro-
mote universal peace. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth.
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled "gas bombs
at Industry; thrust bayonets into bus
mess enterprises and bombarded ag-
riculture with indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken dip
lomatic relations with industry; sent
political aviators spying through the
affairs of business, and political sub
marines have sent torpedoes crushing
into the destiny of commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter of century we
have fought many a duel with prog
ress, permitted many politicians to
carry on guerrilla warfare against
civilization and point pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise.
No man should be permitted to cry
out for universal peace until his rec
ord has been searched for explosives,
for no vessel armed or laden with
munitions of war should be given a
clearance to sail for the port OF Uni
versal Peace. Let us by all means
have peace, but peace. like charity
should begin at home.

Levy Court Fears Criticism
If Work Is Not Finished
Promptly
NEED 100000 TO
FURNISH BUILDING

City Solicitor Daniel o. Hastings
will confer with the members of the
Levy Court and Frank L. Speakman,
attorney for that body, this afternoon
regarding the widening of King street
and Market street by the Street and
Sewer Department.
The Levy Court cannot see at this
time how the county can occupy the
new Court House within two years.
Members of the Levy Court have been
informed that the Public Building
Commission will have no funds with
which 10 furnish the county building
for a long time after the building is
finished This means that the county
must get authority from the next
Legislature to borrow 100000 with
which to furnish its portion of the
building The present furniture in
the Court House will not be used in
the new building. Several months
ago the members of the Levy Court
we're informed that the money will
be needed.
The members of the Levy Court do
not object to the widening of the
streets eventually, but believe that
the widening of the streets at this
time while it is impossible to complete
the work within six months or year
would cause criticism of the court.
City Solicitor Hastings will find out
all possible information today in or
der that he may be able TO place the
matter squarely before the Levy
Court.

of the campaign to create a gigantic

BY The United Press.


LONDON. July 13.-The govern
ment today took its most drastic step
in the campaign TO speed up the pro-
duction of war munitions. In an Off
cial proclamation dealing with the
South Wales coal mining dispute, the
government announced that it will
not countenance strikes or lockouts
that interfere with the production of
ammunition.
Announcement of the governments
course was made in the House Of
Commons by President Walter Run
ciman of the Board Of Trade. Runci-
man said that the dispute threatened
to result in nearly $4,000 miners
quitting work at q time when the
government was using every endeav-
or to hasten the output of war muni-
tions. The government. ne said, had
therefore decided to invoke the pow
ers conferred by the new munitions
act and CONF ell arbitration.
Severe measures, he intimated
would be taken against miners who
quit work or against employers who
ordered a lockout.
