NO BACKWARD STEPS.

Judge Tully Scott Of Colorado's su.
preme court, speaking to the toast
"Domocracy's Opportunity" at a Demo-
cratic banquet made this statement:
"ln my opinion constitutional prohi.
bltion will never be repealed in Colo
RADIO. believe It to be as firmly es-
tablished as the provision for equal
suffrage. and believe we all agree
that any effort to repeal the grant OF
pqual suffrage in this state would
prove as futile as an attempt to repeal
the natural law OF gravitation."

NEW TEMPERANCE GOSPEL.

Temperance work today is very
practical as compared with the senti.
mental exhortations OF Yesterday"
pertinently remarks an exchange. "In
these davs. when efficiency is so gen.
eral n watchword in the world OF busi-
ness md labor, we are finding not so
directly that a man is a knave who
drinks to excess, or even as all. as that
he Is a fool. A runner who ties a
weight about his leg is no greater
Ounce than the workingman or the
merchant who puts n dram OF liouor
into his digestion or his brain. It Is
capable OF proof hv figures and dla-
grams that the drinker OF even an
occasional glass Of wine or beer or
whisky Injuries the work OF both his
hands and his mind, while the habit
ual drinker sews up his mental and
manual machinery permanently. This
is the gospel Of the new temperance
movement"
