FOR PROHIBITION NOW.
Mr. Alexander Nesblt has been ahep
iff of Denver for 12 years and a
didn't vote for prohibition. Here ar
some of the many things he said about
the good efTocts of the lav in ah In
terview published lu the Pueblo Cniof
tain: "The habitual loafer has disan
peared. Tho crowds that used to baag
around the lower end of the city at
free lunch counters have gone. Where,
I haven't the least Idea. Like laat
summer's flies, they just disappeared.
Again, the wine rooms are no more
and tho 'after the theater' dinners are
over. There Is no place to go except
to the picture shows, and then for a.
light lunch and then home, unless
they go to the pool halls. You know
It doesn't take long to grit a lnnnh
after the theater now. Few people
say Tiave another' on a glass of water.
And tho old slogan, 'Let's have an
other' is a misnomer in Denver.
Neither do very many people gay:
'Let's have another lunch' and they
get through and go home. . . .
"We haven't had a case of murder
Blnce the first of the year. Our sui
cides are falling off to a great extent;
tho mileage of tho ambulance and pa
trol wagon is less than 60 per cent of
what It formerly was; our officers on
the beats are trcatod more courteous
ly; there Is a better air morally
around the city; the places where
crime was formerly hatched are gon
and the city Is better off In every way
so far as Its police department and
their work Is concerned. . . .
"Let me tell you another thing, the
can-rusher, the old soak who came
home with a quarter In his pocket and
sent bis eight-year-old, ragged, bare
footed girl to the saloon for a can of
beer and then tossod her a cniBt of
bread while he swigged the beer and
snarled at her through his drunken
ness, is no longer a resident of Den
ver. You can't get a photograph of
one of these fellows In the city."
DIVORCE LABOR FROM LIQUOR.
"The sooner the labor movement
and tho labor rress divorces Itself
from tho liquor business, tho quicker
real organization will becomo possi
ble," says the Galesburg (111.) Labor
News. "Our movement advocates the
education, the elevation of our mem
bership, the securing of better condi
tions and wages for our membership.
We cannot secure them by affiliating
with the greatest power against them."
Another labor paper expresses Itself
In much the same strain. It says In
part:
"Many trade-union Journals and
dozens of the best-known labor lead
ers in America have come out openly
for prohibition. According to the
Flumbors' Journnl, the liquor Interests
are finding out that 'a lot of men who
drink whisky won't vote for it.' The
locomotive engineers, 70.000 strong,
have gono on record for the abolition
of the liquor trafllc."
Mr. E. J. Koenan, president of an or
ganization of dry labor union men hi
Ohio, says that with tho exception of
tho brewery workers and bartenders
every labor union In Cincinnati is
l'ned up for prohibition. The follow
ing pledge Is used by Mr. Keenan:
"Wo believe the labor movement
will not develop and grow as It should
until tho Influence of tho liquor trafflo
Is removed."
DISARMING THE BODY.
We may point out that alcohol, as
far as the digestive organs are con
cerned, not only Interferes with their
normal digestive functions, but also
destroys their natural powers of pro
tecting the body from disease. A per
son who Is suffering from alcoholic
dissipation, mild or severe, is less able
to destroy the microbes of disease
which may be taken In with the food,
and is, therefore, far more susceptible
to typhoid fever, cholera, and similar
diseases. The vital resistance to both
beat and cold Is also diminished, as
well as resistance to Infection, and the
body Is thus disarmed to a large ex
tent of Its natural resistive and fight
ing forces, and thus becomes a more
easy prey to slcknoss, dlscaso and
death A. B. Olsen, M. D., D. P.

BEER AND BALL PLAYING.
It Is stated that the Baseball Play
ers' Fraternity Is to prohibit beer
drinking among Us members. Ed.
Ruelhach, pitcher of the BoBton
Braves, says: "I have seen many
stars whose careers were cut short
by their Intemperate habits. Con
served energy la the only thing which
will prolong a diamond career. Tem
perance among tho players will add
years to their time on the playing
field."
BEEF INSTEAD OF WHISKY.
"My husband used to bring home
a bottle of whisky on Saturday night
If I gave him the money for it Last
week he brought home a rib roast
and he earned the money that bougtt
it" These words of a washerwoman
of Denver, Colo., sums up the prohi
bition situation in that city, says the
Denver Post.

to be invited to speak to the echoot

COMMON SENSE.
If a good workman who is sober as
well as industrious is an asset to
the firm that hires him, he is also an
asset to himself. There Is no econom
ic slavery in that It Is only a ques
tion of common sense. Indianapolis
