Colorado voted for prohibition last
fall and the measure carried, now let
Our present legislature pass such laws
in conformity to the act as will make
the state what the act intended 1t
to be. We have always contended
that prohibition in states adopting
it does not prohibit. and divides tte
people into. two classes, the one that
is able to purchase intoxicants at
drug stores through subterfuge and
the other that is unable to obtain it
from the druggist through want of
confidence. Let the peoples will be
strictly carried out without fear or
favor. and prohibit its use in any
manner or form. be 1t social or sacra-
mental and within the next two
years we may be able to rightly Judge
of whether we want prohibition or
not. Gentlemen of the Goth general
assembly, certain elements In this
state have been clamoring for years
for prohibition, and II Is your duty
to frame such laws as have no strings
attached i'm the way of favcring the
few as against the many.

It has been known that some mate
rails are better conductors of elec.
tricity than others. and now Professor
KamerlIngh-Onnes of Leyden has dis
covered that at certain very low tenn
peratures many metals which are con
ductors Of electricity lose every trace
of resistance to the current and be.
come what he calls "superconductors. "
The finest wires of tin and lead do not
become heated under the highest cur
rents. 1t IS strange that when the
critical temperature is lowered even
slightly the superconductivity ceases
and the metal behaves as at other low

According to the 1910 census re-
turns six states showed a decrease
in their rural population. Agricul-
tural investigators at once started to
work to explain this loss. 1t was
nothing new, nothing unheard of be-
fore. This depletion of rural sections
started in New England thirty years
ago. Since then it has gradually
spread westward as far as Iowa. One
popularity of the census report is
that while six states report a loss in
rural population, in five of them the
growth Of the cities more than made
UP for the loss, leaving the states will
a gain for the ten year period. Iowa
was the only state to report an act

REPUBLICAN CHiCANERY

The Republicans in our upper house
of congress, as well as the leading
financiers of the country, who have
waxed wealthy under the protecting
hand of unholy protection laws, have
ever tried to thwart the successful
operation CT laws recently enacted
by a Democratic congress and a just
president, the like of which this re-
public has never known and by so
obstructing. cast "a stigma upon the
party now in power, in the vain hope
that they may befool the people and
once more ride into power. The pan
ic of 1907, known in history as the
Roosevelt panic that has continued
ever since, came as a thunderbolt
from cloudless sky, and at time
when our graneries and elevators
were bending under the weight of the
most bountiful crops this republic has
ever known. This panic was brought
about through the chicanery of these
self.same financiers who had amassed
their wealth under the unjust wing
of protective tariff" The electors
of the country, like the early reform
ers of Switzerland, seeing their be-
loved country, the most enlightened
nation OF the earth, drifting from
bad to worse through the duplicity
of the party then in power. girded

swoop un.o :sed them l o and brs nch

They placed at the head of govern

and strengthened his power by a
congress of like ideals, giant of

heart is in sympathy with all classes
without regard to fear or favor. Their
method of equal distribution so en-
ragged the classes of special priv
elege that dire vengeance was pro-
nounced upon the administration and
every obstacle placed in the way
to prevent a successful termination.
President Wilson's policies have been
>combatted in every way possible by
these "Napolecns of finance" who
sought to bring them into disrepute
by Withholding their wealth from en-
tering the marts of trade. thus per-
alyEing for many months all industry.
Notwithstanding all these drawbacks,
the new financial law is working for
the benefit of the people and for
ever places a ban upon financial pan
les.
TIE whole country is just now en-
tering upon one of the greatest sea-
sons of prosperity the world has
ever known, in which the rich and
the poor will share without distinc-
tion. Statistics frcm nearly all tie
gold producing countries of the world
show that gold, tie only unit Of
standard value, is decreasing in pro-
duct:on in every country except in
the United States and Alaska and
the world is\now looking to tie AM
erican continent for an increase of
that metal. The European nations
now at war are piling up millions of
dollars of war debt calling for their
payment in gold, and it to the
gold fields of America they look for
aid. The coming season will un-
doubtedly see greater influx of cap

Battles Won by Tobacco.

London Tit-Blts.
 D Tho value of tobacco in active ser
 ..a ;s now so well esteemed by the ,a;l;tarv authorities that today one soos the British Government doing what it had never done before-sup- nlrinc free tobacco to the troops. 0nlv within comparatively recent .imss however, has this necessity been oHicially recognized. Wellington condemned the practice of smoking as heinz "a species of intoxication occa.. stoned by the fumes of tobacco" Offi- cial efforts to discourage the use of tobacco were completely negatived in the Crimean War. The privations suffered then by the troops resulted in officers and men taking to the pan scea adopted by their French and Tur- kisb allies, and by it's aid their discom.. forts were so alleviated that ever since the practice of smoking in active ser vice has been codntenanced by those in command. In consequence tobac- co has played notable and benef- cial part in the wars of the past cen tury-in fact, from Waterloo to South Africa. Probably its solacing and insnirinp qualities were never so strongly manifested as in the Franco German war of 1870. It might be said, indeed, that the crushing defeat inflicted on the French was due large y to the soldiers lack of tobacco, added, as it was, to the breakdown of the commissariat, whereas on the Ger man side the authorities did all they could to insure the troops being plen tfuly supplied with the weed
