PROHIBITION
Poison.

Poison.
A coincidence created a controversy.
AS everyone knows a certain amount OF
spirited celebration goes on between
Christmas and New Years Day. In
New 'ork City alone, 46 deaths due to
alcohL ism were reported during the holi-
days this year; a proportiOnate number
of deaths occurred throughout the land;
the alcoholic wards of hospitals were
full. Then on Jan. l, the new Govern
ment formula for denaturing industrial
ethyl alcohol went into effect. 1t dOu-
bles the amount of poison which manu-
facturers are required to use. The OLD
argument Of whether or not the Govern
ment has the right to use poison to en-
force the Prohibition law ragged.
Wayne B. Wheeler, paid advocate OF
the Anti. Saloon League, at once found
himself the villain of the story. His
statements through the week 1uctuated
between the rabid and the sensible argu-
ments of the Drys. Said he: The
Government is under no obligation to
furnish the people with alcohol that is
drinkable when the Constitution pro-
hibits it. The person who drinks this
industrial alcohol is deliberate suicide.
TO root out a bad habit costs many
lives and long years of effort.
''Some of the bootleg liquor is just
as deadly as denatured alcohol. 1t is
strange logic to insist that if a person
buys bootleg poisoned alcohol and is
killed by using it he is a martyr. But
if he buys carbolic acid and drinks 1t he
is merely a suicide.
In fact, it THE new formula is less
dangerous. The other ingredients in it,
alcohol or pyridine, make it less drink
able and neutralize in part the poison
effect. 1t tastes like the seepage OF a
garbage can favored with overhead
ed oil. One drink will turn a normal
stomach inside out.
AL denatured alcohol containing poi
son is labeled poison. The bootlegger
who takes that label off and substitutes
his fake label is as guilty of murder as
the man who would sell arsenic as sugar.
Prohibition has saved more lives
than any single policy of government.
The drop in the death rate in the first
seven years of prohibition has been
equivalent to the saving of more than
a million lives. Bootleg liquor has kill
ed its hundreds, but licensed liquor kill

DO UNTO OTHERS

Human nature has its weakness, but it also has its strength.
There is much in mans daily record that makes unhappy read
ing, but always somewhere in the report there is a page or a
line that thrills the heart, that is evidence of a vein of latent
goodness beneath the outward appearance of badness, that makes
us suspect that after all the badness is more of an outward ap-
pearance than an ingrained reality.
So it is a pleasure to note that a very large number of men
and women have either broken away from the brazen rule that
reads, "do others" or have never recognized its forces, and are
exemplifying the Golden Rule, "do unto Others" and are doing
1t generously.
The specific thing we have in mind is that phase of the Near
East Relief now firmly established and known as international
Golden Rule Sunday. There are many other examples showing
a healthy growth of the Golden Rule spirit, but this is perhaps
the greatest single example; and it is timely because Golden Rule
Relief, and millions of persons will do unto other children as
they would like others to do unto their children if they had
fallen upon equally evil circumstances.
Such a display of true sentiment, not sentimentaity, is
highly gratifying for many reasons. 1t is one of the things
proving our age not so grossly material as the pessimists would
have US believe it is. 1t is commendabe because in a larger
sense than is found in most charitable enterprises the gift to
Near East Relief is something more and finer than the mere
giving of money; it is entering into the real spirit of the oc-
casion and gieing something of self in addition to the offering
OF money. There is no person who observes the day as it is
meant to be done who will not be better in body and soul be-
cause of the observances.
The simple meal, duplicating SO far as possible the usual
food of the victims of untoward circumstances, will fix in the
mind by its contrast with the common fare of our more favored
people the fact that there are in the Near East tens of thousands
of children and many thousands of adults who are barely living
and the vastly more important fact that if it were not for the
offerings of this day of the Golden Rule all these unfortunate
human beings would suffer great privaton, and many of them
would actually die for lack of food. That is the advantage of
making the day memorable by means of a meal that in many
instances would be in the nature of a hardship, but a meal that
would be considered a feast by the children of misfortune.

SPIRIT OF AGE DEMANDS EFFICIENT SERVICE

The country has prospered amazingly by the Coolidge
common-sense economy program. Judicious expenditures of
tax funds is not mere political expediency, it is a vital attri-
butte of sane government. The country should prosper as
greatly during another four years of od-fashioned persistent
economy. Honest government means as much to the laborer
as 1t does to the millionaire; it is his protection in his job,
lis nome, his taxes, his sierra bills, everything that he has.
The Coolidge personality is not essential; the Coolidge at
tltude towards his job and his responsibility is vital in a
public servant.
, It is not uns..ss that Coolidge will be the next president;
hut any candidate of whatever party with lower ideals of un-
selfish service will be a bad investment.

INTERESTING aADs"

we have Been reading proofs Of the Christmas shopping
lads" of Cody stores that will appear in the Enterprise today.
They are as interesting as anything That one may peruse
these days, for they. speak not only of the approaching yuletide
with all that means. but they illustrate as well the rapid growth
of the city and it's development.
Sometimes we are apt to think of the modern city in terms
only of population and of public mprovements-street paving,
marks. public Fairgrounds and a dozen other items of the kind.
But the real ear1mark of the progressive city is its stores.
The real badge of prosperity is the type of retail stores a
city boasts.
The advertising columns of the newspaper of today demon
strate the fact that Cody has stores of which any city may be
proud and as metropolitan as those of many boastng larger
population. And the stores themselves are as interesting as
the lads"

why Do They DENY?

Both the city officials of Billings
and those of Sheridan deny the
statements that they are "winking''
at violations of the prohibitory
laws. The charge at Billings was
made by one of the eminent judges
of that city while that at Sheridan
was made by an evangelist holding
meetings there. In both instances
the officials deny the charges that
the cities which they represent are
receiving fine money for the toll
erance of places of business where
sard drinks are sold and where
gambling is permitted. Why the
denial? Surely a set Of councilmen
will not stand for conditions as
this and still be ashamed of their
acts. Yet 1t is generally known
that like conditions do exist, at
least In many Wyoming town.

West End of
City Growing

The extreme west end of Main
street has experienced considerable
commercial development in the past
two years caused in great measure
by the building of the new court
house and the scarcity of building
sites in the older established busiu-
,ss portion of the city.
Several firms have erected new
places of business in this vicinity
and at least two more are pending
at the present time.
This section of the city is consider
ed very desirable for business houses,
being in n quite place, yet on the
main business artery of the city.
The fact that Main street is wider
al this point than further east IS
another condition considered desir-
able as it permits auto parking with
out the congestion that is experience
ed in other sections.
y rapidly growing residential dis
.trict in the west end ON either side
Of Main street is also noted and il
~ believed by business leaders of
the city that elimination of the
Eighth street ditch, which is now
an assured fact, will stimulate both
business and residential baiIding i'll

500 Block Still
Center of City
Business World

TwO wears ago. when removal of
on west Main street, made consider
able store space in the 600 block on
Main street available, the latter was
quickly snapped up by various firms.
and II was thought in many quarters
that the westward trend of business
would have a detrimental effect IN
business in the 500 block.
This has not been the case, ac-
eording to NJ O. King. of the NJ. O.
King Company, VINO has been III
business in the 800 block for the
PAST decade or more.
1.-The removal of the courthouse,
instead of handicapping business in
eur block. has only served to in
crease the business of the entire
city Mr.. King states, "bv making
room for additional firms. Several
rev firms came into the city 30
take over the room vacated bv the
courthouse, and space vacated by
merchants who moved from the 800
to the 600 block was in turn taken
hv other new firms.
There has been no apprcciablc
decrease in the activity % the $40
block because Of these changes. In
my opinion the 800 block will con-
tinue to be the center of the citv 3
business district for many years.
