When Judge King of Boston re-
fused to find James c.. Mclean guilty
of keeping and exposing liquor for
sale, although still was discovered
in his barn, he explained that he was
not discharging the prisoner to en-
courage the making of moonshine.
The judge further said: "In Boston
are many men, some of whom are
wealthy, who are assisted by their
wives in the manufacture of moon
shine. venture to say that some of
our prominent citizens, who have
their own stills, might be hiding in
the bushes when the police arrive to
seize the Illegal apparatus. If I had
one should probably have done the
same"

THE RAINBOW ROUTE


ber of Commerce, of Gunnison, Colo
RADIO, asking that the Rainbow Route
from Salida to Grand Junction, Colo
RADIO, be designated as the primary
route between said places. Passed
and adopted January 25th, 1922.
Be it Resolved By the Gunnison
Chamber of Commerce that the High
way Advisory Board and Hon. L. d.
Blavaulty State Highway Engineer,
be requested to designate as prima-
ry route from Salida to Grand juno
tion, Colorado. the Rainbow Route,
and as reasons for such designation,
sets forth the following facts:
First: Because the Rainbow Route
between the above points over Mon
arch Pass and the Blue Mesa is 54
miles shorter than any other state
highway. lF
Second: Because the Rainbow Route
can be used by automobiles and mo-
tor traffic for a number of months
longer every. year than any. other
highway, since between Salida and
Gunnison late in the fall and early
in the spring the Cochetopa Pass
can be used. which is the lowest pass
over the Continental Divide.
Third: Because from Gunnison
west, in addition to the main route
over the Blue Mesa to Montrose
there are two other state highways.
the Black Mesa and the Crested
Butte-Somerset road, connecting with
the main route at Delta, which ear
be used at the option of the public.
Fourth: Because the Rainbow
Route between said points has the
easiest grade, the smoothest roadhed
and is the best maintained.
Fifth: Because the patrons of said
road, especially tourists, can secure
better hotel accommodations along
the Rainbow Route than any other.
Sixth: Because filling stations and
repair shops are more accessible and
located at shorter intervals on the
Rainbow Route.
Seventh: Because tourists can take
advantage of the world-renowned
trout fishing of the Gunnison river
and its tributaries along this highway
Eighth: Because camping place.
are located at convenient interval.
along this road, which are all sup
piled with pure mountain water.
Ninth: Because a permanent camp.
ing site, containing 800 acres, owned
by Gunnison and Montrose counties,
located between Sapinero and Cimar-
ron, on the Big and Little Blue riv-
ers with the best trout fishing in
Western Colorado, entirely free to
the public is on this route.
Tenth: Because the Rainbow
Route is the best route and safest for
travel on account of the superior
character of road material from
which it is constructed.
Eleventh: Because the territory
along this particular route is more
thickly settled and is tributary to a
larger tax producing territory and
entitled to the expenditure of more
funds on its highway than any other
route through Western Colorado.
Twelfth: Because the Rainbow
Route extends through Gunnison, the
location of the Colorado State Normal
School, the educational center of the
Western Slope.
Thirteenth: Because the scenery
along the Rainbow Route is superior
to that along any other highway in
this portion of the state.
Fourteenth: Because more second
ary highways are connected with the
Rainbow Route, making it tributary
to larger district chan any other
route in Western Colorado.

German Journals Denounce Former Crown Prince in
 Series of Editorials

BERLIN, Mar. D. (By the Asso- ciated Press)-In the opinion of So- cialist, Democratic and radical news papers, Frederick William, the for mer crown prince, has assumed the mantle Of democracy to promote mon archistic propaganda and to advertise himself for his forthcoming book of memoirs.
 Various Journals recite details Of Frederick Williams history in an at tempt to show that he is no more democratic than his noble father" The publication of letters and tele- grams of the former crown prince, sent by him recently to the Hamburg senate and other bodies, is taken by anti-monarchist circles, which have been greatly exercised by the anti republican propaganda here. to indi- cate simply an attempt to poularize the former royal refugee.
 This monarchist propaganda says the Frankforter Zeitung. has been noticeable for three years, but thus far it has been without the per sonal application. There has been a conspicuous absence of any partic- ular name. This, however, does not mean that the old crown has given up allegiance to Prussian ideals.
 "The burial of the kaiserin wes used to unfurl the banners of the old regime but despite this fact. promi- nent personages remained in the background. Only in the last few months has positive propaganda ap- peared for the return of the Hohen- zollerns. Now comes, not the old kaiser, who is known at home and abrohd as a rabid monarchist. but his son as the idol of monarchist lovers.
 "The publication of the crown princess letter to Professor Dorn was not accidental, but was a we'll con sidered plan of the moderate monar- chists. who are hoping that the crown prince will become popular figure in Germany.
