an last weeks issue of the Yuma
Times its editor in long, drawn out
article takes occasion to roast the ed
itor of the Republican. We have new
er met the gentleman and we are
handicapped in not knowing his per-
sonal faiiings, however,as he familiar
ly calls us Red" we suppose he must
be well acquainted with US. We have
written him as follows:
Brush, Colorado, March II. l9l7.
editor Yuma County Times. Yuma. Colo.
DEAR SIR-My attention has been
called to the last issue of your paper,
where, under the heading Marrow
ness, Indeed you take occasion to
find fault with the writer and call
han = ..hignt, and othar complainant.
airy things. take no exception to
your views. l have never had the
pleasure Of meeting you and I do not
think you are able to criticize me
without ever having met or expressed
mutual opinions Of each other.
However, as understand that you
are = minister by profession, and tenn
porarily in the newspaper business. I
will give you for your information
the definition of q bigot:
"a person who regards his own faith and
Views In matters of religion as unquestion-
ably right and belief or opinion differing
from them as unreasonable and wicked.
Hence, a per son Indifferent Of opinions con-
fItcting with his own, as In politics or morals;
one constantly and blindIy devoted to his
own church, party, belief or opinion
II have always held that every
man had right to his own opinions.
A Jew, Catholic, Christian, Moham-
modan, Infidel or Mormon looks alike
to me II he is not a hypocrite. II he
is sincere I take no issue with him.
Neither politics nor religion cut any
ice with me IL man Is a man amongst
men and practices what he breaches.
I have friends in every walk in life,
Christian, Jews. Catholics, Mormons,
etc. have helped TO bury the out
cast when the good Christian minis
ters refused to officiate. have spent
money and time to sober up drunk
ards and get them to be respectable
citizens and only later to have them
join the local church and find fault
because / didn't become an active
member of the congregation.
LAS you know there is considerable
controversy amongst the churches
themselves and their members as to
the advisability Of emotional religion
or so called '$-religion.' l have my
own opinion. Yon have yours. As
long As we can discuss our different
beliefs and not get 'bigoted' all right.
But when you launch a campaign or
print a roast against man you have
never seen or exchanged opinions
with I will leave it to the public to
decide who is the biggest 'bigot,' you
or 1.
IAN editor, as you have no doubt
found out, sometimes gets criticised
for what he doesn't say as well as for
what he does say. He is . general
mark for criticism, good or bad, the
same As the minister. He may be
right, he may be wrong. We cannot
please ali. 1 do not try. No man
who knows me will say that 1 am q
hypocrite. am not 'bigot and
trust that the readers Of your paper
can draw their own conclusions as to
the 'bigot' when they read your arti-
Gle and you and will abide by theil
Judgment.
when you are in Brush drop In
and see me and get acquainted.

the office of Secretary of State Jimmie
holland, which is to say that instead
of working two or three hours day
and loafing the rest Of the time, ma
jority of the employees In his office not
only are working full time days, but
are working two and three hours every
night and on Sundays.
This will not continue all of the
time but will be the rule for two or
three months yet. This extra labor is
occasioned because Secretary holland
believes in holding the pay roll down
to the last notch. This means q saving
to the taxpayers at the expense Of ex-
ira work on the clerks, but inasmuch
as the summer months are dull, the
employees haven't any real complaint
to offer.
Secretary of State holland boasts
that he has the best and fastest corps
of stenographers employed In any Of
the bureaus or departments in the
state house. He keeps six of them go
ing steadily and each and every one
Is an expert. This accounts for the
exceedingly neat work turned out by

IN WITHDRAWING ITALY.

Prof. Leonardo Bianchi, an author
ity on alcoholism in Italy, agrees with
Lambroso and Ferri concerning the
degeneration caused by the wine
drinking customs Of his country. He
says:
II know from my experience that
deep melancholy, persecutional mania,
jealousy leading to the assassination
Of the suspected Individual can, in
many cases, be directly traced to over
indulgence in the gift of Bacchus.
Most Of our great criminals were hard
drinkers before starting on their ca
reer Of crime, or are sons Of hard
drinkers. The headquarters Of the
Mano Nera and other associations Of
malefactors Is the wineshop. We can
easily become master Of cholera and
diphtheria, Of typhoid fever and ma
laria. The grave problem before US is
the prevention of the insidious alcohol
ization of the nation. The degrading
poverty of the lower classes in certain
sections Of the country, our lazzaroni.
the passion for gambling, the terrible
infant mortality-for all this, and
more yet, the special form of our al
coholism is mainly responsible"

DECREASE IN CONSUMPTION.

The per capita consumption Of spiD-
ituous. vinous and malt liquors during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1915.
was. according to the final government
report, 1910 gallons. This Is the small
est figure since 1902.
While the Withdrawal for consump-
ton" Of distilled liquors was greater in
1915 than in 1915, it was less than in
any year between 1902 and 1915. The
slight increase was chiefly due, says
the commissioner Of internal revenue
to "the effective enforcement of the in
ternal revenue tax on distilled spirits"
1t should be remembered that the
withdrawal for consumption" does not
mean that the liquor all went down
the threats Of American citizens.
Much of IT is forced out u the gov
eminent warehouses by the expiration
Of the bonded period. When liquor Is
taken out Of bond the tax is paid and
it Is officially recorded as CONSUMED"
As matter of fact a large part Of 1t
is merely transferred to private ware
houses to await market demands. The
fact that large quantities remain in
bond until forced out by the time limit
is sufficient proof that actual consump-
ton of splrituous liquors Is decreas-
ing.

tive destroyer of the larvae Is kero-

every eight quarts of manure will kill
the maggOts.
So far as the dwelling house is con-
cerned there are a number of effective
ways of destroying flies. CarbolIc
acid Is one Twenty drops of this on
n heated shovel or anything of the
kind will kill the insects by It's vapor.
But as this Is dangerous thing to
have In the house where young chill
dren are. 1t would be better to get
something harmless and yet effective.
Euy one dram of bichromate of
potash ut a drug store. Dissolve 1t in
two ounces Of water. add little sugar.
and place the mixture In shallow
dishes about the house.
Another good remedy is formalln or
formaldehyde. A spoonful Of this in
quarter Of pint Of water will kill
all the flies. AS this is poison. it
must be placed where children cannot
rench it.
When a room is found full of flies
they may be Immediately destroyed by
the use Of pyrethrum powder. Close
the doors and windows and pull down
all the shades except one, which leave
up about a foot. Take into the room a
tablespoonful of the powder on a hot
shovel. The fumes will drive the flies
In their death struggle toward the foot
Of light ut the window. There they
will fall dead and may easily be swept
out.
There are various kinds of sticky fly
paper, traps, etc. The papers should be
burned when they have done their
work.
Screen every window and door Of
your house and keep the screens on
till you start up your furnace.
Have separate screen covers for
food which must be exposed in pantry
and kitchen.

yet more cleanliness be your motto all

ate regions where domestic animals
are reared. In regions bordering on
the tropics the flies are Of Importance
throughout the entire year. In the ex-
IRENE southern part of our country
there is no month during the year In
which flies are not annoying to horses
and cattle. In the Northern states,
the dy Is particularly injurious and
abundant In the late summer and
fall.
Investigations made during recent
years showed clearly that the vast ma
jorlty Of stable flies bred in straw
stacks. 1t was also shown that while
the fly breeds In pure horse manure, 1t
favOrs a mixture of this substance
with straw.
The fly was found to be breeding in
much greater abundance In oat straw
than In wheat straw. Rice straw was
also found to furnish Suitable breed
Ing conditions and there Is little doubt
that barley and rye also serve us food
for the Immature stages Of the insect.
The development of this insect Is
somewhat slower than that of the
hOusefly and 1t is therefore quite nee
essary that the eggs be deposited In
rather large quantities of material for
1t to breed out successfully.
As with most insects, the destruc-
ton of this one when 1t is actually
doing, the injury Is what is most de-
sired by those concerned. With this
species, as with many others, this is
