two mail bags last week, it was re-

Campers and Smokers
Cause Forest Fires

Of the 22O forest fires which have
occurred in the Rocky Mountain Dis
trict so far this year, 85 are directly
traceable to careless campers and
smokers, according to District For
ester Allen S. Peck of Denver. Smok-
ers form the largest single class of
those responsible for these fires, hav-
ing started to date So fires. This
means that there are a large number
of people who would endanger life
and property, sacrifice it if necessary,
rather than spend the infinitesimal
amount of time and effort to put out
their cigarette, cigar or camp fire.
An expert forest fire organization
is maintained by the government and
is supported by the whole-hearted CO.
operation of volunteer citizens in the
forested regions of the State. This
is our protection against excessive
damage from fires started by light
ming, a cause over which we have no
control. But no fire once started
ear be put out without some loss, re-
CARELESS of the efficiency of the pro-
tective agency. Since these human
caused fires may be prevented, the
only logical time to fight them is
while they are still confined to the
burning end of a cigarette or cigar
stub, the bowl of a pipe or a small
camp fire. Those who allow those
sources of fire to escape to larger pro-
portions are guilty of a crime against
society and deserve the punishment
which is provided for it.

MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ARE APPALLED,
BY RESULTS OF THE PROHIBT0RY LAW
Moral Breakdown Threatens the Great American
Government, Says Writer Reviewing Con-
ditions in the United States

liquor traffic, it is causing that traffic
to spread continuously until it threat
ems to engulf the nation.
Bribery of enforcement officials
and of police is a very common
phase of the revelation. Judges ever
where report that conviction of a
RUNNER by a jury has become a rarity
ever when the evidence is conclusive.
Men of the highest repute report that
in some sections of some big cities
one cannot walk a mile along a re-
sidence street without laying eyes up
on a house in which an outlaw still
is not operated or liquor of some kind
is not sold. The same reports estab-
lish that outlaw distilling is becom-
ing a regular industry among the
farmers in many sections of the u
try.
The record of major crimes in this
country is rapidly distancing that of
any other section of the known world.
| With these things true the members
referred to say emphatically that the
hour has struck when all right-mind-
ed and patriotic citizens must insist,
and accept no denial, that the govern
ment find the remedy. Either use ev-
cry agency of the government to en-
force the law or, that failing, take
the profit out of the traffic in intoxi-

The United States government is
in possession of indubitable evidence
collected from all parts of the country
that prohibition, as now admin
istrated, is a failure; that the govern
ment of the United States is face to
face with a situation without a paral-
lei in all history of modern civili-
cation; that unless immediate steps
are taken for the control of the
liquor traffic, the great American ex-
pertinent in self-government is DOOM
ed to a moral breakdown threatening
the very existence of American free
institution. More than ten times as
many persons are engaged in the liqu-
or traffic in this country today than
ever was the East before prohibition.
Enticed by the enormous profits and
the possibilities of sudden wealth, a
large ~pescentage of the youth of the
land enter this outlaw trade and are
beings debauched physically and
ruined morally.

Outlaws themselves, the dealers in
contraband liquor are the victims of

other outlaws who exort from and
rob and murder them, until we have
the spectacle in every large center OF
population of numerous armed bands
preying upon each other and the list

the successful operations of the boot

city swarms with youths who arm
themselves and rob not only the liqu-
or dealers but also holdup and rob
business houses of all kinds and pc
destrians on the streets, and when
resisted shoot to kill. In no other
country on the globe is there such
an epidemic of murder and robbery
Members of congress who have
studied the evidence are appalled,.
Certain of these members, ardent sup
porters of prohibition and firm be-
levers in the theory of prohibition
frankly place the blame for the pres
ent situation upon the shoulders OF
hypocritical officials of the govern
ment, both Legislative and executive.
They point to the niggardly little
agency in the treasury department
charged with the enforcement of pro-
hibition' when the law should require
the use by the executive end of the
government of every force at its
command. including all the depart
ments and not excepting the army
and navy.
Either this, they say, or the govern
ment itself must undertake to handle
the liquor traffic in a way to take out
of it all chances for private profit,
The present method, they say, simply
can be endured no longer. For, in
