the law of the United States cannot be
admitted to citizenship in the court of SUI
perior Judge Lincoln S. Church in Oak

BIG IRON CONCERN DRY
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
Won't Keep Bootleggers or Gus
toners on Payroll

The Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
of Pueblo, which is one of the greatest
industrial companies in the west, has an
nounced a policy of strict law enforcement
SO far as its employees are concerned. No
bootleggers nor bootelggers' patrons will
be retained on the company's payroll.
The Volstead law may be drastic but it
IS not more drastic than the law enforce
ment policy inaugurated by the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company and its affiliated
companies, the Colorado & Wyoming
Railway Company and the Colorado Sup
ply Company.
The following warning was placed in
the pay envelopes of every employee of
these three companies and in addition, the
notice was placed conspicuously about
the company's steel plant in Pueblo,
which plant employs over 5000 men
WARNING
This company is going to get along
in the future without the services Of
BOOTLEGGERS or their custo-
mers.
We class as bootleggers all those
who manufacture, sell or distribute
intoxicants either personally or
through agents or members of their
own families.
Such persons will be discharged on
evidence satisfactory to the manage
mcnt without waiting for conviction
in the courts.
Employees who are customers of
bootleggers or who visit bootleggers'
houses or places of business will be
suspended for first offense and dis
charged for combinations of the Of
Tense.

REAL JOB FOR STAYTON
Los Angeles Times Suggests After
He Gets Rum Back He Might
Move Mountains

The Los Angeles Times grows sarcas-
tic when referring to Captain Stayton of
Baltimore, head of the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment, who
is now in the California city trying to
start something against prohibition and
in favor of booze:
The Times says:
Captain W. H. Stayton has come
among us in order to arouse our ex-
element to fever heat or something.
1t appears that we are expected to
start crusade against the Volstead
Act and restore the DEMON RUM.
After Captain Stayton has restored
the demon rum, he might move
WILSON'S PEAK a few miles over
to the north to sort of balance OLD
BALDY, and after that, he might
shove back the Pacific Ocean to make
room for more beach.
His chances for success in these va
rious enterprises are about equal.
Prohibition is here to stay and in
the whole it has been great benefit.

paign of pledge signing is recommended.
Education OF aliens in the United States is
especially urged, and the media of the
foreign language press and the foreign
speaking pulpits are suggested. This ed
uoation is urged for the double purpose of
fitting aliens to be respectable citizens,
and the spreading, through them, of pro-
hibition propaganda to their kindred in all
the lands of the earth.
Appeal to the Press
The press is urged to do its part in the
maintenance of our national ideals and
the eXaltation of personal sobriety and po-
litical honesty. The council, in its state
ment, looks to the producers of motion
pictures, asking them to remove from
their films every sentiment and thought
that depicts drinking habits in attractive
guise.
Dissemination of the facts needed
through the medium of fairs, exhibits,
posters and other lines is strongly rec
commended.
Finally, the council urges participation
in primaries and elections to the end that
the right sort of officials shall be put into
Office, and that any additional legislation
that may be needed may be brought about.
Among those who had prominent part
in the discussions of the council were
DIR. Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
of the Anti-Saloon League of America;
Miss Anna A. Gordon, president of the
t,opa1 Il
president of the World League Against
Alcoholism; DIR. L. c. Dinwiddie, national
chief tempiar of the |. o. G.. T., and

Better Spirit of Law Observance,
Coupled With Law Enforce
ment, Urged as Necessary
EDUCATION IS HELD NEED
Press and Moving Picture Men Are
Appealed to in Interest of
Civic Program
By ]. II. Larimore

Recommendations to tie American pub
lie, for finishing the job of American pro-
hibtion and holding the success of the
prohibition experiment up to the rest of
the world TO follow, were made by the
National Temperance Council, in session
in Washington, d. &, December 1912.
The program is ample and includes APP
proaches to the prohibition problem from
every angle. The council is made up of
representatives of more than twenty ma
uonal temperance organizations.
During part OF the three days covered
by the gathering of the council, that body
adjourned for certain periods, during
which the national legislative conference
met and considered pending and proposed
legislation TO make enforcement stronger.
The latter organization held executive
meetings and did not make its findings
public. To large extent the member
ship in both organizations is identical, or,
at least. overlapping. Both organizations
reelected their corps of officers.
Comprehensive Program
In lengthy deliverance the council sets
forth rs suggested program, to be carried
home for the constituent organizations to
consider, and for all persons whether
members or not to be informed upon.
Briefly, the recommendations call attcn-
ton to the continued lawlessneSs of the
liquor traffic and the persistent efforts of
its friends TO destroy prohibition; point
out great progress in enforcement and law
observance; point the need of education
and publicity. urge the practice and teach
ing of abstinence; urge continued CO.
operation of the churches, and declare for
. policy of going forward.
'Sobriety, decency, the heath and well
fare of our people, the very security of
constitutional government are at stake"
so long as the Eighteenth Amendment
and state and federal laws are flouted, the
statement says. The position of those
who oppose and nullify the prohibition
law is declared to be essentially the posi-
ton of the traitor" and TO carry more
than suggestion of treason" The STRAIT
egg and tactics of the nullihers are de-
clared to violate the basic principles of
constitutional, representative government
The council recognizes evidence of in
creased betterment in enforcement, and
the growth of a spirit of reverence for
law. 1t also sees steady gain in the atti-
tude of an influential part of the public
press toward the civic duty of obeying
and enforcing the law and of maintaining
the Constitution.
All educators are appealed to to give
the youth of America practical instruc-
ton in the benefits of total abstinence and
the dangers of alcoholic use I'VE sug-
gest," the statement reads, that civics and
history properly acquaint youth with the
development of the United States policy
in dealing with the liquor traffic and the
patriotic obligations of citizens toward
these and all laws"
Church schools are urged to make sure
that adequate temperance training is given
10 all the pupils. A widespread cam

FAKE APPEALS MADE
FOR VETERANS" RELIEF

Another flood of letters and mer-
chandise has been sent from some
eastern firm or firms to local bust
ness and professional men under
guise of relief appeals for World
War veterans. They are for the most
part out and out fakes.
In some instances a few pencils
are sent with request for dollar,
the profit to go, it is glibly claimed,
into funds for disabled veterans.
Sometimes it is batch of neckties,
claimed to have been made by wound
ed soldiers, and others have reported
receiving appeals for cash donations
for special assistance in securing
needed disqualification, ETC., for vet
Grams.
All of these are no doubt cleverly
worded to avoid the consequence of
legal action, but nevertheless tLey
are in intent attempts to secure
money by playing upon the patro-
itism of those to whom the letters
ere mailed, and no organization for
the relief Of World War veterans is
receiving cent Of the money sent in
response to these appeals.
These fake appeals hinder the real
work of soldier relief organizations,
and should be ignored. The auther-
ticy Of veteran relief appeals may be
ascertained by inquiry of American
Legion officers in each community
where there is an American Legion
Post.

MANY SHOT AT DOE
in NORTHERN WOODS

Will G. Hyatt, who returned from
the north country with a splendid
buck last Friday, informs The Jour-
nal that it is a crime the way I'M
sportsmenlike hunters shot female
deer against the law, merely for the
sake of killing or wounding some
thing.
He and one of his companions.
just before they left for home, ran
across a badly wounded doe which
had dragged itself a long distance to
the shelter of the roots of an over
turned tree, there to die of its wounds
CT of starvation.
Mr.. Hyatt stated that many hunt
ers would station themselves on a
ridge or some other convenient To-
cation and shoot at every four-legged
creature that came into their line Of
vision. If they happened to down a
buck they were fortunate, as they
could take it home, but as for their
idea of sport, buck or doe was all the
same to them, so long as they had
something to shoot at.

DOES MEANEST NAN
LIVE AROUND HERE

Harold Green, hunting in the woods
just north of this city last week ran
across evidence of stark depravity
or record meanness.
Hearing a slight connection in the
brush, Harold advanced stealthily
upon what he supposed might turn
out to be game. He was dumbfound-
ed to discover a plain gunny-sack
humping and rolling around on the
frozen ground.
When he opened the sack a tiny,
half-starved collie pup tumbled out,
and Immediately tried, in a weak,
pitiful manner to show appreciation
of its rescue. Harold took it home,
and is looking for someone who
wants it, and who will give it good
care.
Before finding the puppy Harold
noted several other similar sacks
lying about on the ground in that
neighborhood, but, as they were
quiet, he did not investigate. Per-
haps they also had contained pup
pies left in this cruel, inhuman ma
ner to die a horrible, lingering,
death from cold and hunger. If so,
death had already brought welcome
relief.
