DAFFODiL TIME.

It is daffodil time. the robins cry,
For the suns big daffodil UP in the sky! 80
And when down the midnight the owl calls "towhoo!
Why then the round is daffodil too.
Now sheer to the bough-top the sap starts TO chmo
So merry my masters, it's daffodil time!
1t is time the song: it is time for the sonnet
It is time for Belinda to have new bonnet
fashioned and furnished with things that are 1alr
To rest like a crown her daffodil hair
Love beats in the heart like the pulse Of rhyme,
So merry my masters, it's daffodn time
1t is time when the hills and the wales cry Away!
Come Join In the Joy of the daffodil day.
For somewhere waits, with glow on her race
With her daffodil smile, and her daffodil grace.
There's Tilt in the air, there's cheer there's chime
So merry my masters, it's daffodil time!

Public DUTY.

Washington Press: Governor Clarke
in a speech before the heads OF the
state institutions recently coined a
slogan for men in public office. II
consists of three words: FITNESS
fidelity, firmness" 1t is a slogan
which all men who are filling public
trusts would do we'll to consider and
accept as theirs. The governor said
in the course OF his address:
when one Is dealing for himself
and only hisS individual affairs are
involved he may consider only him
self and may pass by infractions OF
duty or violations of obligations to
just such an extent as he may please
But a public relation is an entirely
different thing. A public duty may
not be ignored. A violation of public
trust cannot be excused"
A great deal depends upon the char
acter of the community, as to what the
community demands as high stand
ard, and the man who seeks Office will
not dare ask the support of the COM
munity without making an effort to
uphold those standards.

road. Permission was granted him to
tap ten of them, which he caught In

DENVER POLITICS
ALVA. A. SWAIN.

From some unknown source there
are being spread throughout the state
stories to the effect that the Ii ,uor
laws are being violated in the most ali
normal way throughout the great cen,
tsrs OF population The circai ton OF
hese stories began about three weeks
ago. They have started with no ap-
parent cause. and have Travelled so
rapidly that the people of the state,
even some of the friends of the pro.
hibition law, are beginning to get the
idea that Denver. Trinidad, PuetIo,.
Cripple Creek and some of the other
population cenrers are actually wit
Messing abnormal violations, of the
law
The truth is. the exact reverse wonld.
represent the conditions in the state
There is some violation of the law,
which is but natural. but those who
have gone throu the change from
wet to dry In other states say that
Colorado has handled the situation bet
ter than any other state in the Unil u
so. far.
There is an object in the circulation
OF these stories. The object is pclit-
ical. A few weeks ago petitions were
put on the streets of Denver the OBJ
ject of which was to change that city's
government from the commission to
the mayor form of government. These
petitions are backed by the csemies
of the Republican party and by the
friends of the vets. The real object
is TO elect Bob Speer mayor of Den.
yer and to again install in power
that element that controlled the city
for so long for the heneft Of the vets,
the gamblers and similar classes or
people. The friends OF the vets have
taken advantage of the dissatisfaction
that exists in Denver over the extra
ordinary amount OF expense connected
with the commission form of govern
ment and have submitted the petitions
with the hope that the form OF govern
ment viii lie changed and that the oil l
crowd viii asnin control the city's
af11irs
At the same time the leaders who
are backing the change Of govatnntent
in Denver began to form a general
plan that viii first capture Democ.
raey and then turn the state govern
ment over to the same crowd. The
fight will first be made in the ranks
of Democracy, II It is possible. the
wet element and those opposed tn

whether the change is warranted OF
not.
AS to the endorsements of tie law
Practically every bit of the ma ohinery
of the state sovernment has been as
work rigidly enforcing its every pro
vision. So far the police department.
OF the city OF Denver Has worked in
harmony with the s4ate officials ,rud
that der rartment is doing its duty in
law enforcement. The faboratc ri -s Of
the state, universities have been used
during the Tast ten weeks TO deter
mine those soft drinks that cary in.
toxicatsng liquors and every sor1 drink
on the market has been analysed anil
