WETTING DOWN DRY" STATES.
IN "DRY, COLORADO.
From the Denver Post (Prohibition)
April 4, 1916.

Into Denver alone the common carriers
brought 802 liquor packages during January. The
number sWelled to 1858 during February. The
records for March in the office of the county clerk
and recorder will not be closed until Monday eve
ming, when all reports from the carriers must be
in. But from advance information the February
number will be multiplied several times. And in
the opinion of the officials the number will con-
tinue to grow during the next few months, when
the proposition of imports will settle down to a
somewhat stable basis.
Into all of Colorado the carriers brought
3,2O2 liquor packages in January. In February
the number jumped to 1886, with Mesa, Rio
Blancha, Rouft and San Miguel counties not re-
ported. For March, if the percentage of gain
should be maintained the figures will reach 27,155
shipments"

MR.. VOTER, IT'S UP TO YOU.

NH, NOIE Eh, II . W IL 1OO.
The importance of the election this
year cannot be exaggerated. The world
is facing re-adjustment that must come
as soon as the European war is ended
Hhe producers of America will once
more have competition. For over two
years they have been protected by q
wall of war more effectively then they
could have been by any protective
tariff When that wall is down there
must be barrier erected for the food
will come from other countries and
bring American standards, American
ideals, American labor and American
products down to the lower levels. This
is not a reflection on any country or
any people. Ii is merely a statement Of
fact.
The Republican party stands for pro-
lection and preparedness against the
competition that will be unfair to labor
ers and producers The Democratic
party Is against protection and will let
this country go into the commercial war
which must come a. lily prepared to
protect itself as it is for military defense
now. This is question that effects
every man, woman and child, aud is in
the thought of every thinking person.
The Democrats preach universal free
trade and practice it only on the north
ern states. That, MIR South Dakota
voter means that they practice it on
you. They do not practice it in the
solid Democratic states Of the south.
They have taken from our northern pro-
ducts the protection of the tariff, but by
the same token have protected the prin-
cipal products Of the south Ifit is a
good doctrine for we of the north, it
should be also for they of the south. If
the south is to be protected the north
should be also, The doctrine of free
trade must be wrong or it would be
practiced by the Democrats in the home
of democracy, The Solid South"
1t is up to you Mr. Voter to decide
whether this nation shall again drain to
the dregs the cup of panic and poverty
as ii has always done under free trade
policy, and always will.
---a.------------
TWO FAVORITE AMENDMENT
On two proposed amendments to the
constitution which are to be voted on
next month, the voters of this state
should be particularly unanimous. The
first one, No. /, relates to good roads
and is necessary if South Dakota is to
get her share Of the federal appropris-
tion for good roads. Many states have
already availed themselves of this fund
but South Dakota can not until the con-
stitution is amended If this amend
ment should be defeated through neglect'
it would be a most unfortunate thing.
The next, No. 2, relates to irrigation
west Of the river. The people there are
asking that the people of the state give
them the right to bond themselves for
irrigation purposes. The country west
of the river will never develop until it
is able to avail itself of irrigation Once
before the people of the state voted this
down-simply because they did not un-
derstand it. Is it too much TO ask of the
voters that they at least look into this
question before voting against it? We
ask this in the name of the brave people
west OF the Missouri river who are try.
ing to build an empire there and who
will succeed if their hands are not tied
