WILL PROHIBIT HOT BREAD.

In the course Of the debate on tho
bone-dry bill In the Georgia senate
State Senator Pickett asked this ques-
tion: "Will you say to the people
next that they won't be allowed to
make hot bread because 1t hurts their
digestionT The Atlanta Constitution
made reply in words which constitute
a comprehensive indictment Of the liq-
uor traffic. "Yes, Senator Pickett" 1t
said, when the use OF hot bread be-
comes so general and so abnormal as
to constitute mania; when craving
for II becomes so great that men neg
lect their flresides and starve their
wives and children In order to satisfy
their appetites for 1t; when 1t Is prov
ed that men fill up on hot bread and
go home and beat their wives and chill
dren in hot-bread frenzy; when ruff
ans nerve themselves with hot bread
and under Its influence kill our citl-
zens and desecrate our homes; when
hot bread violates the sanctlty of our
firesldes and debases and debauches
our young sons and pure-minded
daughters; when 1t leagues itself with
and Inspires the lowest and vilest sorts
OF vice; when 1t befuddles the brains
Of our boys so that under Its spells
they sign checks and forge names and
go to the penltentlary; when craving
for II becomes so irresistible that
workmen on Saturday nights cannot
pass bakery on the road home, but
go In and squander the weeks earn
ings In hot bread, when IL should have
been spent In coal, food for the fam
lily, shoes, life insurance; when So
ciety Is taxed to provide policemen
to guard men and women under the
influence Of hot bread; when the city
and state are burdened to support
courts to deal with crime committed
as direct result Of over-lndulgence
In hot bread; when our penltentlaries
and almhouses and insane asylums be-
come filed with criminals and human
derelicts and maniacs-human beings,
once with souls, wrecked upon the
rocks of hot bread; when mothers
hairs are whltened by work through
sleepless nights that fathers and sons
spend carousing In hot bread dives;
when men can no longer find employ
ment on n railroad or In an Industrial
pursuit IL he uses hot bread; when
engineers under the influence Of hot
bread fail to see the signal lights and
wreck their trains and slaughter inno-
cent people; when chauffeurs fill up
on hot bread and drive their cars
like madmen over our highways and
streets, running down Our women and
children, the aged and the cripples,
and killing them; when the use of hot
bread shall reach such pass that 1t
threatens the very safety and sanity
and life of the state-then, the pa
triotlc, decency-loving people will de-
mand that hot bread be prohibited.

PROHIBITION AND WAGES.

From the United States census re-
port:
In ten years in prohibition states
wages increased 103 per cent.
In near-prohibition states, states in
which 80 per cent or more of the popu-
latlon was under prohibition, the in
crease was n per cent.
In partially licensed states, states In
which more than % per cent but less
than so per cent of the population was
under prohibition, the increase was 10
per cent.
IN LICENSED STATES IN WHICH
LESS THAN 20 PER CENT OF THE
POPULATION WAS UNDER PROHI-
BITION. THE INCREASE IN WAGES
WAS BUT 81 PER CENT.
WHICH Is BETTER FRIEND TO La
BOR, LICENSE OR PROHIBITIoN2

ALCOHOL is ALCOHOL.

The alcohol of beer and the alco-
hol of whisky are identical. Whisky
drinking Is dangerous because Of the
alcohol poison which the whisky con-
tains. Beer drinking Is dangerous for
the same reason. Medical men are,
however, pretty well agreed that, on
the whole, apart from the alcoholic
poisoning, beer drinking Is more mis-
chievous than whisky drinking.

POORER ALL AROUND.

1T isn't the saloon that makes
man mlserable-it's his poverty" the
exponent of the saloon is telling the
workngman. This is often true. But
you never heard of saloon that re-.
lleved a workingman Of his poverty.
Every time he comes out Of saloon
he Is poorer than when he went In.

DOOMED TO DESTRUCTION.

There is no agency on earth or In
hell strong enough to deliver the liquoy
institution from its just doom. The only
power that could strike the fast de-
scendlng sword Of retrlbutlon from the
avenglng hand of this republic is the
power of Almighty God. That power

A CANCER IN SOCIETY.

The liquor traffic is cancer In so
ciety, eating out Its vitals and threat
enlng destruction, and all attempts to
regulate 1t will aggravate the evil.
There must be no attempt to regulate

root must be left behind, for until
this is done all classes must continue

FUNERAL OF THE LATE
MRS NANCY PENDLETON


All offices at the Court house were
closed this afternoon between and
3 as token Of respect to the men,
ory Of the late Mrs. Nancy Pendle-
ton and in sympathy for those who
mourn her loss. The Pendleton home
and spacious lawn surrounding it
were far too small to accommodate
the large number who assembled for
the funeral. The impressive service
was conducted by Rev. w. s. Grim
of the First NJ. E. church, where the
deceased had worshiped for many
years. The numerous floral offerings
were unusually beautiful. These
banked and covered the casket. The
casket bearers were the Messrs G.
H. Charlton, Arthur Morris, E. A.
Chubb, J. A. Clark, r. N. Pingrey
and W. A. Reese. Many friends
formed the funeral cortege that wend-
ed its way to Greenmont where the
remains of this kindly woman were
laid to rest.

NJ. Steel of the Denver Tourist
Bureau, visited the Mesa Verde Ma
tional Park last week, passing thru
Pueblo, the best commercial and
manufacturing city in the west, 60
ing and returning. The head of the
national park service, at the conelus-
ion of his visit, expressed his un-
qualified amazement concerning the
remarkable points of interest connec-
ted with lost prehistoric race, and
demonstrated his faith in the future
of the region, by putting under way
important improvements and announc-
ing his purpose of recommending
large expenditures in the war of af-
fording facilities for the constantly
expanding army Of tourists and stu
dents of history, who are visiting
the park each succeeding year. Pro-
vision will be made for a museum to
house the remarkable collection of
pottery articles, of utility and enjoy
ment, that are being gathered from
these ancient ruins. Additional ac-
commodations for the comfort and
convenience of visitors are to be pro-
vided, including seats where points
of interest can be viewed at leisure,
the construction of a garage, more
sleeping room, increased water sup
ply. Mr.. Albright will recommend
that signs be placed thruout the park,
designating the various ruins and
their particular features, and along
the automobile highway. This high
way is to be reconstructed along an
easier grade and eliminating unne .es-
slry distance.

Mr.. Albright's enthusiasm concern

OUR DUTY TO CIVILIZATION.

When, more than 1000 years ago,
the men who fell and died and were
forgotten, dreamed not that the SUI
preme sacrifice of their lives was to
pave the way for civilizations prog
ress. They fought for their person.
al liberties, and unknowingly they
laid the foundation for the greatest Of
all ideals-freedom and liberty.
When the Greek slaves, scourged
and despised by Roman masters, were
forced to teach to Roman children
the art, literature and PHILOSOPHERS of
the early Greek masters, they un-
knowingly bequeathed to posterity the
culture that their forefathers had
gained thry years of toll and sacri-
flee.
When later, at the Battle of Water
loo, the hand of destiny intervened
and the undefeated legions of the Lit
tie Corporal were hurled to their death
against the lances of the British
Grenadiers, the world looked ON
amazed-but it took years to realize
the full purport of the Clash that
rocked the very foundations of Euro
pean politics.
The Puritan settlers, laboring and
sacrificing that their children might
enjoy the liberties that had been de-
MED them, had no vision of the ma
ton that was to grow and develop as
result of their efforts. The vet
Grams of 81, who enlisted for a three
months service in suppressing seces-
sion, had little idea that the cause
for which they fought was to remove
from the face of the earth the great
est menace to liberty and freedom

TABERNACLE ADDS 5o4
CONVERTS TO DATE

"You boys 60 out as the soldiers
or democracy" said Rev. Lockhart
last night. "You are going forth in
an m,selfish conflict. We do not ask
indemnity. We do not ask for any
territory. America shall never wage
war for any material advantage. We
never have. Our wars have always
been wars for equal rights and for
liberty. Our Revolutionary war was
fought that here, on this great con-
tinent, new form of government
might be tested out in the interest of
human rights. The Civil war was
fought to maintain that republic, for
which our revolutionary fathers had
died. The Spanish-American war was
fought to free Cuba, and we asked
for nothing but the privilege Of serv-
ing another. When we marched with
other nations into Peking, and China
agreed to pay an indemnity to all the
nations, America was the only one to
refuse to accept it. We said, Use
this money TO send young Chinese
men to American schools, to learn
the lesson of democracy China did
this, and already these young men
returning to China, have done much
toward the making Of China repub-
lie.
80, in this war, we are fighting
that autocracy be overthrow, and
people be given chance thruout this
whole world to govern themselves"
Following the patriotic meeting.
Evangelist Lockhart gave his amuse-
.ment sermon, which was a mastery
effort. He held that young men
could not be kept from harmful
amusements and bad company until
clean, healthful amusements and good
company were provided and said that

SHOULD HAVE A
LIvESTOCK ExHIBIT

While the minds of all are yet on
the fair of last week, we desire to
urge upon all interested that the fair
association should make an extra eff
fort to induce farmers TO bring to
the fair grounds in the future the
best that they have in the way Of fine
horses, cattle, hogs, sheep and other
animals. There may have been some
excuse for the discarding Of that par
ticular feature Of the fair this year
but it is to be hoped that it will not
be necessary next year. 1t was our
lot to hear several criticisms, be-
cause they were unable to see any
livestock at the fair grounds. In
practically all places, livestock is one
of the essential features of the fair.
1t is not justice to the farming in
terests for the farmers to neglect
that part of their business, and it will
pay well to take just a little time to
bring in some Of the representative
animals produced in this section. Not
to have animals on exhibition is to
cause many to believe that we do not
produce good stock in this San Juan
country. In going over the county
and others of the San Juan one will
see as fine stock as he will see in any
other section of the country. Let
liberal premiums be offered for priz-
animals and then let there be fine
itock exhibit.
