According to Warden Tynan of the Colorado Penitentiary, 96 per cent. of
the prisoners are brought there because they use alcohol. It is also
well known that moral lapses are most common when the will is weakened
through the use of liquor. Those who have the welfare of the race at
heart are therefore compelled to give considerable thought to this

legislate sobriety into the people. Education and industrialism are the
factors which it seems to me will be most potent in solving the alcohol

thereby reduce the earning capacity and enjoyment of life.
