TO PROHIBITION CLAUSE.
Special Election Nullified and "Wets"
Must Accept Decision Made by
Rest Of State, and Close
All Saloons Jan. 1.

Denver, Dec. 7.-Denver must be-
come "dry" on Jan. /, according to
the ruling of the Supreme Court in
its decision in the home rule liquor
case rendered Monday morning
The decieion was rendered en- banc
by the court, the opinion having been
written by Chief Justice Gabbert.
The court held that the Denver
charter, drawn under provisions of the
twentieth, or home rule, amendment
to the state constitution, does not
serve to exempt this city from the
scope of the statewide prohibition
amendment adopted by vote of the
people Nov. 8. 1914. and the prohibit
tion-enforcement st" 20 passed by the
Legislature last winter in conformity.
The case was taken to the Supreme
Court by agreement between the at
torney general and the city attorney
to determine the legality of the ac-
tion of the Denver city council in
granting liquor licenses extending be-
yond Jan. l, 1916, when the statewide
tive.
The city council granted the H.
censes in accordance with the amend
ment to the city charter adopted nj
the municipal election last spring,
known as the home-rule for liquor
amendment Upon petition of the at
torney general and city attorney the
Supreme Court in September agreed
to take original Jurisdiction in the
case on the ground that the issue In.
volved was Of great public interest
and should be determined before the
first OF the year.
A writ OF certiorari was issued by
the court directing the city to show
cause why 1t should not be ordered to
cancel the liquor licenses issued by 1t
and extending beyond that date.
The contention Of the attorneys TO-
the city WIS that the home rule
amendment to the constitution gives
Denver and other cities similarly or.
sanized exclusive right to regulate
their local and municipal affairs. This
right was not abridged or repealed
with regard to the regulation OF the
liquor traffic by the prohibition amend.
ment, II was contended.
The state took the position that the
regulation of the sale OF liquor is n
police power and that the exercise OF
| police power is vested within the state
/ alone and cannot be delegated to any
unit OF government within the state
| Such right as that claimed by Den
yer. the states attorneys argued
would be recognizing the authority OF
a state within the state. which is pro
hibited by the federal constitution.
II was aisy contended by the state
that the .epealing clause of the pro
hibition amendment repealed anything
In the twentieth. or home rule. amend
ment which might be construed tc
give this authority to Denver or other
home rule cities In Colorado.
In the decision all liquor licenses ex
tending into 1916 are determined g

MORE ABOUT MUSIC

Editor Star: We were wondering If
the recent arrest of a certain Ger
man at Tallahassee, who most likely
was collecting local color for Ger
man opera, has caused the musical
reminiscence in Ocala. We have heard
that his score was a rather strange
composition hitherto unheard, even
in Mr.. Smiths musical education. But
we must agree with the Stars editor
that correctly interpreted rag has
place in music, and the mutilation of
classic music, especially by amateur
performers, will strengthen this as
scrtion. You may call it trash, but
there must be something in music to
have it sung, played and loved by the
public. Altho the United States is
only in its infancy from a grand
opera standpoint, we notice in the
European trenches they lock for in
| spiration from "It's a Long Way to
| Tipperary," rather than the classics

Europe. If the Bulgarians join the
allies and attack the Turks, COnstan-
tinople must fall in few weeks, and
allied men and munitions will go
pouring into Russia. Also Roumanla
would almost certainly join against
the Teutons. If Bulgaria throws her
sword into the other side of the
scale, the Teutons will stand a good
chance of breaking thru Servia and the
allies would have to retire from the
Dardanelles. This might decide the
war. At any rate, it would make 1t
doubly hard for the allies to win, un-
less Greece and Roumania joined
them. Tho both are more powerful
nations than Bulgaria, the allies
would probably rather have the helI
of Bulgaria than of both.
AS long as the war goes on witt
its present combatants, in spite Of
Teuton victories, the allies more thar
hold their own. Vast Russia is no
hurt in proportion to the damage sh'
| inficts on her assailant. France i
stronger than ever, and Britain grow
stronger every day. Italy is no
wasting her strength. The Teutoni
allies are making a tremendous strug
gle, but they are doing it as a fearfu
cost, and unless they obtain more a.

they must succumb in the end.
