MORE ABOUT DENVER.

Writing of Denver's experience,
Harry w. NewcOmb, president Of the
Newcomb Realty company and once
m opponent of prohibition, says:
ut was said that the tourists would
not come here on account of prohibi-
tiOn. We have had more tourists in
Denver since we had prohibition than
ever before in the history Of the city.
All of the hotels are filled, the apart
ment houses are well rented and condi.
tlons are far better than they were
formerly. The credit of the merchants
in the city is greatly increased, as
they have been able to collect their
bills and in turn pay others in other
cities great deal faster than they
ever did before. All of the brewerics
in Colorado have changed their equip
ment and are making near beer, malt.
ed milk, pottery, etc, and the loss pre-
dicted by people leaving the state on
account of not having employment
has proved n matter of mere readjust-
ment. There are just as many people
employed by these breweries now as
there were heretofore, and most of the
saloon men found legitimate business
which they could engage in and are
now strong advocates of prohibition

minimum. 1T Is amazing writes Mr..
0dell, how the desire has almost died
out with the abolition Of temptation
This Is, think, the answer to critics
who alleged that restrictive laws are
evaded. To some extent they may be,
but the necessity for evasion limits
consumption TO the few-the reckless.
The mass of the people are loyal In
this as in other matters, and It Is the
mass that counts.
