THOSE PROHIBITION VOTES

Support of the Anti-Saloon league is
asked for the national, state and local
candidates of the Prohibition party in
an open letter to Purley A. Baker. ma
tional superintendent of the society.
The appeal is issued by Oliver W.
Stewart, campaign chairman of the
Prohibition organization. Instances
are cited where Republicans or Demo
Gratis have been indorsed in direct op-
position to Prohibition candidates. But
is it the success of the Prohibition
party rather than victory for the
prohibition cause that is sought? 1t
would seem, in situation like that in
Colorado. that party is being placed
above principle in this appeal for
votes for Prohibition candidates. If
there ever has been an organization
that has done effective work for the
cause of total abstinence it is the Re-
publican party of this state. In fact.
the opposition to the denomination of
Governor Carlson came in a considera-
BILE measure from forces opposed to his
effective administration of the pFohib-
itory law. So far as Colorado II con-
cerned, therefore, no Prohibitionist
conscientiously can support any other
than the party that has given it the
reform that it had sought so long in
vain. 1t is hard to believe that these
Prohibitionists will fail to support
their champion on the Republican tick
ct in the coming election.-Colorado

KILLING BEAVER
BRINGS HEAVY FINE

Fred Mench of Canon City, charged
with violation of the state game laws,
was convicted on September 81 before
the county court of Westcliffe, SEN
fenced to fifteen days in the county
jail and fined $50 and costs, the latter
amounting to 1886.
Meneh was apprehended by forest
officers with the beheaded and de-
tailed carcass of beaver in his camp
on Middle creek, within the San Isabel
national forest, on August II and upon
charges preferred by the forest service
was tried before the justice of the
peace at Beulah, where the case re-
suited in mis-trial. Upon further
evidence, the case was again brought
up before the Custer county court and
conviction secured by a jury.
In his testimony the defendant, plead
ing Ignorance as to the kind of animal
found in his possession, contended
that he had found the carcass in MID
die creek and had intended feeding it
to his dog. Director Higgins of the
Colorado Museum of Natural History
was summoned as an expert witness
and identified the carcass as that Of a
beaver.

FROSTY indeed was the Democratic
meeting held at the Odeon theater last
Friday evening. The people sat and
listened attentively to the speakers
with becoming courtesy such as is u.s.
ual with Glenwood audience. But
to one the least bit accustomed to sens
ing the temper of an audience it was
very evident that the people were not
much in sympathy with the speakers
of the evening. The only proof of this
statement lies in the fact that scarcely
ripple of APPLAUSE was heard during
the whole evening except that which
greeted Senator Shafroth Is prediction
that by the time another presidential
campaign was on, both parties would
declare for nationwide prohibition Of
the liquor traffic. A leading and very
noticeable feature of Senator Shat.
roth's address was the strong play he
made for the Progressive. vote. OF
course this was but the part of wisdom
on his part from Democratic viewpoint
for the reason that without the vote
which went to Roosevelt four years ago
the Democrats will be in sorry plight
when the electoral college meets for
business. The truth of the matter il,
however that the Progressives of four
wears ago were Progressives almost en-
tirely because of their faith in Teddy

THERE is much encouragement to
Republicans from the fact that from all
over the county are heard words of
praise and confidence in our candidates
for county commissioners. Wherever
one may go he hears that the people
have taken stock and that they have
made up their minds to place the gov
ernmental affairs of this county in the
hands of Republican board for the
coming term. Coulter and Henrickson
are running like real winners, say the
people, but We predict that they have
not started to run yet and that they
will come under the wire and across
the home plate on November many
laps ahead of their opponents. They
are good fellows with an eye to bust
ness and in every sense worthy of the
support of the voters of this county.

WHY IS THE PROHIBITION
PARTY?

The appearance in Pueblo of the
candidate for president of the Prohibi
tion party suggests consideration OF
ent place in national politics.
Why should anyone vote for Mr.
Hanly?
The mere fact that there has been a
Prohibition candidate in each election
for many years does not answer the
question. Neither is it answered by
the further fact that a number of men
and women in Colorado this wear will
vote the Prohibition ticket. Four years
ago the Prohibition candidate for pres
ident received 5,O63 cotes in Colorado.
and this year the Prohibition vote will
not exceed that number Why should
there be any Prohibition vote at all?
Colorado is a prohibition state. Tt
has n constitutional prohibition amend
rcnt; it has an effective statute of pro-
hibition; the prohibition law is effect
ivelv enforced.
These results came through and by
The Republican party, and the one man
who above all others is entitled to
credit for these results is Governor
George A. Carlson who is the Republi-
can candidate for reelection as govern
or.
If nationwide prohibition becomes
effective it will not come through the
Prohibition party, and it will not come
through the Democratic party

GOVERNOR Carlson last week made
visit to Oak Creek although he had
not intended to stop at that coal min
ing camp. He did so on the invitation
of some of the best citizens who want
ed to have him see the conditions that
existed in that part of the country.
The governor did not mince words, ac-
cording to Mayor Thorson, but told
the bootleggers that it was high time
for them to play quits and if they did
not do so and if the district attorney
had no backbone and no sense of his
duty under his oath of office he would
take hand in the matter himself and
see to it that the attorney general be-
gun an action in the name of the state
against those violating the law. Is not
that a fine endorsement for the present
district attorney

JUDGE Noonan has been given splen-
did encouragement in his campaign in
the northwest counties of the district
in his canvass for district attorney, Ia
some places the Democrats have ex.
pressed themselves as very much dis
satisfied and disgusted with the pres
ent incumbent of the office and have
openly declared that they will not sup.
port him in the coming election. That
MIR. Delaney has not made good in the
conduct of his office and that he has
not made proper effort to enforce the
law is plain to the most casual obsery-
er. In some paris of the district the
prohibition law is shamelessly violated
APPARENTLY without an attempt on Mr.
Delaney's part at enforcement And
this recalls the meeting held in Glcu-
wood last spring with the district az
torney. at the request of Mayor Thor
son, and which meeting was attended
by the mayor and the aldermen, police
and city attorney and the
peace officers of the city and county.
Mr.. Delaney was asked to explain the
new prohibitory law and the meaning
of certain sections. and those who at.
tended that meeting will recall how
they came away with the shameful
that the district attorney
instead of being an alert and fearless
upholder of the law,was only too ready to
eriticise the law and point out its weak
points and hold them up as bugaboos to
he officers. And this he did rather than
to promise them assistance in the en-
forcement of the law as is his duty.
And this is the man who is Judge Moo
mans opponent for district attorney.

WHEN asked what would be

WHEN asked what would be her
program in case of her election as
county superintendent of schools Mrs.
Bessie Weber said she did not believe
candidate should promise too much
but that she had no hesitancy in saying
That she would pay especial attention
to the rural schools, not in any manner
neglecting those in the cities. 1t Is
not so easy to keep in close touch with
the country schools. 1t is much easier
to remain at the county seat and at
tend to the wants of the rural schools
by correspondence and this is too often
done. But Mrs. Weber's idea is that
the country teachers need the counsel,
sympathy and guidance which the
county superintendent should give, to a
far greater extent than do the city
teachers. The idea is certainly good
one and we are pleased to know that
Mrs, Weber takes this view of the
duties of this most important officer.

from which he escaped. He was later
located in Chicago, where a woman
bySthe name Mrs. Pitkin had laid
cl(im to hinlsks her son. The case
then became of'national interest when
the woman later disclaimed him" as
her offspring and came with him to
Dickinson and made claim for him to
the fortune which Jay Allen Caldwell
left when he disappeared, stating that
he was the missing man.
Woman Leaves for Parts Unknown
The woman was bluff and when
her hand was called she left for parts
unknown. But despite her work there
are several who still believe that the
man of mystery" is iay, although
records of the case seem to contra
dict this. Records, it is said, show
that 81 c. r. was picked up at
Waseca, Mimi, before Jay Allen Cald-
we'll disappeared. The man picked
up at Waseca had no visible marks
or scars. The u. c. r." Of today had
a deep depression on the left side OF
his forehead, caused evidently by
some blunt instrument, which in de-
pressing the skull, caused the unfor-
tunate mans loss of speech.
