The piece contrasts Prohibition with a rising crime wave as trains carry tales of robberies and murders. It cites Winslow and Phoenix papers on double murder and bootleg violence, then envisions a future where science and industry shape a more advanced civilization. It invokes Faraday and the National Research Council to argue progress will transform society and living plans across Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico.
