Lawyer Argues Booze Law Is Void.

In a brief filed in the State Su
preme Court, Attorney John w. Hell
big contends that the prohibition
amendment to the state constitution
absolutely prohibits the importation
into Colorado of liquor for personal
use after prohibition becomes effec
tive Jan. 1. He therefore asserts
that the prohibition penalty law
passed by the General Assembly is un.
constitutional, because, it provides
regulations permitting and governing
the importation of liquors for per.
sonal use in conflict with the consti.

Court involving the right of the Leg.
islature to insert the safety clause in
the prohibition penalty law to pre-
vent a referendum Of the law to the
people. A referendum petition, signed
by 20,235 electors, was presented to
Secretary of State Ramer, but he de-
clined to accept it on the ground that
the safety clause in the bill prohibits
a referendum.

SALOON AND LABOR PROBLEM.

We make no claim that closed
saloon will settle the labor problem;
we do not believe it will. We do affirm
that there never will be found solu-
ton for the labor problem that ignores
the saloon and allows it to continue.
whether run by the individual or by
the brewer for profit or run by the gov
ernment without profit. Labor cannot
carry 100000 rum shops on its back
and prosper under any system.
The kingdom of labor will not have
come when the door of the saloon is
shut; there will still be industrial
wrongs to right and other economic
problems to solve; but the largest sim
gle immediate contribution toward
that consummation, the swiftest relief
that can be applied, is the abolition OF
the liquor traffic in the United States.
1t is the one thing that as the barrier
to all other reform must be removed.
To every son of toll who is ground
beneath the millstones of low wages
and high cost of living, we have but
one message. "In the name of God and
home and native land, rise up and vote
for prohibition."-Clin Howard.

ALCOHOL AND TUBERCULOSIS.

The following resolution was passed
by the International Congress on Tu-
berculosis, held in Paris, at which
some 1000 medical scientists were
present: THAT in view Of the close
connection between alcoholism and
tuberculosis, this congress strongly
emphasizes the importance of combin-
ing the fight against tuberculosis with
the struggle against alcoholism"
At the International Alcohol Con-
gress at Bremen, Professor Segran, a
distinguished Frenchman, said that
the use of alcohol predisposes the
system to tuberculosis and also pre-
vents cures. The real individual and
social treatment for tuberculosis con-
sists in the strictest total abstinence
from alcoholic liquors.

Edinburgh Hard Hit.
In Edinburgh. where the law courts,
the university and the rich insurance
and investment companies give SO
much employment to highly educated
men. the collapse of investments. the
almost deserted courts and the drop in
the number of students, who prefer
the battle field to the professors lee
lures, have all had an adverse effect.
Life, however. goes on almost as usual.
The theaters and other places of
amusement are crowded, the restaur-
| ants and the tea rooms are always gay
and the streets are filled with military
| men. Prince street is thronged by
the same fashionable crowd.
There are great battle squadrons
keeping their ceaseless vigil off the
coasts. and the naval man finds Edin-
burgh his most convenient city for
relaxation. Admirals who have al
ready won renown can be met with

vid Beatty and his American wife are

There are more than Scotsmen in
the Scottish regiments. The stirring
strain of the pibroch and the swing of
the kilt have brought in a number of
Englishmen. A Manchester lad crossed
into Scotland and enlisted in one of
the Highland regiments. He was To-
Gated for months in Inverness and,
much to his disappointment, he did not
get kilt, but was served out with
"trews." Weeks passed and no kits
came along.
Then word came that the regiment
was to be shifted to the south Of Eng
land preparatory to crossing to France.
Three days leave was given. The
young Englishman was mortified at
the thought of returning to Manches-
ter to bid farewell to his friends. not in
the splendor of the kilt but in every

the sergeants of the regiment. After
great deal of argument the sergeant ar
ranged to lend him,~a kilt for three
days for dollar. He left in the train
in great glee and for couple Of days
staggered about Manchester in all the
glory Of his Highland uniform.

cold that the doctor ordered him to

A NATIONAL CALAMITY.

II have believed in the regulation,
not the prohibition of the liquor traf-
fe," says DR.. Lyman Abbott, "btt the
regulation impossible"
The secretary of the Ohio Temper
ance Union "a liquor organization)
wrote to Doctor Abbott asking for a
letter which could be used in the state
prohibition campaign. Doubtless he
is sorry he did it. The reply came as
an open letter in the Outlook and is
a severe arraignment of the saloon as
a lawbreaker. Its law-defying pro-
pensities have, in the judgment OF
Doctor Abbott, been its undoing. We
quote:
'The American people are charac-
teristically conservative and slow in
coming to conclusion. But they are
coming to the conclusion, though
slowly, that the American saloon is
not only local nuisance but ma
tional calamity and are resolving to
abolish it.
"The question is not, Is beer use

''It is not, Is moderate drinking
wrong?
1T is not, Does the Bible prohibit
or permit moderate drinking?
these questions the people would
prefer to leave each individual free
to determine for himself.
But they are not willing to leave
each Individual to determine for him
self whether the laws enacted by the
community shall be obeyed. That
question the community will decide,
and it will suffer any inconvenience.
any deprivation, which may be neces-
sary to secure such obedience. This
is the meaning of the present prohibi-
tory movement.
But if the people are compelled to
choose between an unregulated and
iawless liquor traffic and the prohibi-
ton of the liquor traffic, I do not
doubt that they will choose prohibit
tion.. II we cannot reform the saloons,
we shall abolish them. And If we can
find no other way to abolish them, we
shall abolish the distillery. the brew
