We Certainly Do Love Work.

We are prepared to do better
work and more of it than ever.
Why half mix your concrete the
old way? Let us mix your con-
crete the up-to-date way. We
have the best mixer on the mar
ket. Your concrete does not
cost you as much as it did the
old way. Yet it is a hundred
per cent better, because when we
mix it, it's mixed. That's all.

Can Denver Secede From Colorado?

The liquor interests home-rule proposition de
signed to exempt the city OF Denver from the opera
tons of the statewide Prohibition constitutional
amendment adopted by the voters of Colorado, car
ried at a municipal election May 49, Naturally
the saloon element jubant and, anticipating court
action on the part of the drys the validity of
their scheme of secession have announced that in the
event of adverse ruling, they will recall such
decision by the vote OF the citizens of Denver alone
without submitting the proposition to the voters OF the
state generally.
There is more than merely the wet and dry issue
involved in such situation as Denver presents. II
it is possible for city to nullfy provision OF
the state constitution it is possible for others to do
likewise and if it is possible for city to nulfy one
provision of the state constitution. where will the
limit be placed in multiplying such provisions that may
be disp1easing to the "lberal element?
1t appeals to that under such policy no part
of the constitution is binding. People will watch with
interest to see whether Colorado will allow Denver to
secede or not.

Politicians Watching Atlantic City

\ Washington newspaper man Who from his
close association with many congressman, knows how
seriously they consider the temperance ISSUE ventures
the opinion that every present member OF congress-
and every man who hopes to be member OF congress
in the near future will give close attention to what IS
said and done at the Atlantic City Convention of the
Ant-Saloon League
The marvellous advance which Prohibition has
made in the past year, and the announced intention
of the League leaders to oppose the candidacy OF
men for congress who known to favor the liquor
interests will give the deliberations of the delegates
to that convention, hailng from every state in the
Union and representing every political party an I'M
nortance which no man. whatever his position, can
fail to take into consideration
Politicians everywhere, some with tear and
trembling some with great joy, consider the temper
ance issue one to be reckoned with And when the
history of the Atlantic City Convention shall have
been written it undoubtedly will be history OF de
liberation fraught with paramount political import
ance to the nation.

"Call That Third Strike Now"

Oyerconhdence has lost more than one battle IN
this wet ana dry war 1t may be that the Chicago sa-
Ioonkeepers quoted herewith seeking to inspire
the leaders of the dry federation OF that city with
overconfdence Such tactics, however, will prove
nnavane because of any one who knows saloon con-
ditions there knows the size OF the task involved III
overthrowng the license system. The following test1
mony which we quote is corroborated by the figures
from the revenue collectors office, which show the big
slump in beer consumption, by the reduction OF 1nat
ed values OF saloon licenses and by the record dry vote
cast nv the women Therefore, whether the reader
takes the saoonkeepers word at its full face vaue or
not the fact remains that there is more truth than
poetry in it. These saoonkeepers are commenting on
message which Billy Sunday sent to Chicago to the
effect that Batter Booze has three balls and two
strikes called on him..
The Chicago Tribune interviewed some OF the sa-
loon men in the loop, and here is comment IN part
from two Of them:

When Conscience Speaks

Not long ago there appeared i'll one OF the lead
ing magazines in the Query and Answer Department
the following:
employed by manufacturer whose product has
denounced by scientific journal being very
harmful My employer does ask personally to do
anything dishonorabe but that does satisfy DO
think am justified in continuing work for concern
whose business cannot respect?
The magazine in question promises to publish a
reply to this query in early issue. With no thought
of assuming to answer for the magazine reference
is made here to the query merely to emphasize the
fact that men are becoming particular about the
wav IN which they their livelihood. This ap-
plies to both employee and employer. For instance
there may be money in the manufacture and sale of
habit-orming drugs and alcohol but science has pro-
nounced their use injurious and therefore to manufac
ture and sell them for indscrminate is morally
wrong.
The public recognizes this principle to hold true
with reference to any commodity which INJURIES health
This augurs bad for the liquor industry. All of this
suggests that one of the forcibe arguments in
connection with the campaign against liquor is that
having to do with scientific inquiries into the effect of
alcohol on the human body.
