General Assembly
Adjourns Mar. "a

The twenty-tirst general as.
sembly will establish a record
for briefness of session by ad-
Journing sine die on Saturday
night March "a.
Actually this Democratic legis-
lature will only have been in ses-
sion for eighty-one days. In the
past, one hundred or one hundred
twenty-five day sessions have
been called short.
Both house and senate have
passed the resolution to adjourn
on March "a. 1t will now take
unanimous consent of both houses
to continue longer than that date
and such a thing is not likely.
A considerable sum will be
saved to the state through the
shortness of the session. The per
diem of clerks, stenographers,
secretaries and sergeants-at-
arms will be saved. printing bills
will be cut away down and all
other eXpences incidental to a
days session of the legislative
branch will be Topped off. The
senators and representatives are
paid an annual amount each, so
nothing will be saved there, but
thousands will be left in Colora-
dos pocket for other economies.
And the state will lose nothing
by the sessions brevity. All
will have been done that should
have been done. Educational
and other state institutions will
be provided for, probably better
than ever before. All depart.
merits will be cared for financial
ly; there will be provision for en-
larged work by the research de-
partments; ample protection will
be thrown around every legiti-
mate state industry and enter
prise. Having done all this, the
legislature will simply call it a
good day and quit.
One welcome fact looms:
There will not be so many new
laws to muddle, confuse and con-
tradict. OF the Thousand and
more bills introduced every one
that is meritorious enough to
deserve hearing will be heard.
But it is quite evident that
another record will be set in the
small size of book required to
carry the laws of the twenty
first session. The one hundred
law makers now in Denver have
proceeded on the theory that Colo.
RADIO needed a strengthening of
old statues rather than a whole
sale passage of new ones.

Arvada Dramatic
Club P|eases Crowd

UIuu TItdStS UIUWu
Too much praise cannot be
given the Arvada Dramatic club
for its success in producing the
home talent play. 'Unkle Rube"
which they gave before large
audience Tuesday evening. The
play was given for the benefit of
the Presbyterian Aid to assist in
raising enough money for the
piano fnnd.
A great deal of success of the
evening was due to those who
took part between acts IN rend-
ering musical selections. Vocal
solos were given by Irene Muir
Gibson, Hattie Weaver, Madge
4eager and Hazel Il binson, Cor
net solo by w. p. Smith. vocal
duet by Faith Greene and VaIer-
ia Taylor and the quartet proved
themselves very popular with the
audience.
Each actor and actress played
a strong individual part and it
would be difficult to point out the
best.
Cecil Greene in his star role
was a typical "Unkle Rubc." He
was a good naturcd Yankee. but
it anyone was looking for trouble
he was ready to accomod,lte them
The william of the play, Deacon
Smailey, alias Glen Mccormick,
was one worth seeing and Ray
Juchem as Mark, the son of Dea
con Smailey was true to the pro
verb Like father, like son"
Howard Miller played the love-
in true lover fashion and won h.
heart of the pretty school teacher
Willard Wagner. altho one of
those 'idiotic dudes from New
York" could still be scrap
per' when the occasion demand
ed it.
, Fowler Hines. as Ike. carried
out his part to perfection as a
tanned, weather beaten clumsy,
good natlIrcd son of the soil.
Ralph Smith as Bub Greene
was easily the hit of the evening
and Ernest George did well his
character, the country constable.
, Beatrice Goss, as Millicent Loe.
! the attractive and sympathc ic
| school teacher was admired and
loved by all.
One could not blame Uncle
Rube for falling in love with
Maria Burr. the charming widow
which part Hattie Weaver took
very successfully.
Toggs, the slangy, rough and
tumble tenement kid from New
York was portrayed by Patsy
Goss. In her cunning and

and Mrs. Ralph Cotton of Boul.
der and Mr.. and Mrs. M. P.

been a member of the Grand
Lodge.
Many, in fact all of the cabinet
work and pictures belonging to
Arvada Lodge bear the marks of
Mr.. Burton's handy work and
for which he would accept no
pay.
In appreciation of his loyalty
and good fellowship and what he
has been to the lodge since it
was founded the brothers lndivi-
dually created fund for the
celebration of his birthday both
by having a little banquet and
presenting him with token of
their esteem and friendship. A
beautiful silver mounted cane

.U-Boat Victims
Were Americans,
Stowell Asserts
Columbia Professor Opposes
State Department IN Cali
fornia Sinking

The three little children OF Mr. and
Mrs. Edward ODonnell, two OF whom,
at least, lost their lives when Ger
man submarine sank the Anchor liner
California of the Irish coast, were
American citizens and entitled 10 the
protection of this government, despite
the fact that neither OF their parents
were naturalized Americans, Professor
Ellery c. Stowell, of Columbia, declared
yesterday.
The statement is directly opposed to
the decision Of the State Department
in the case, which has asserted that
the lost children, despite the fact that
they were born in Philadelphia, could
not be considered American citizens, in
asmuch as their father and mother
were both British subjects.
"In nv opinion, there il no doubt
that children born in the United States
of foreign parents are entitled TO the
protection of our government unless, at
the age of majority. they indicate an
intention not to retain the citizenship
which was theirs at BIRTH Professor
Stowell asserted. This intention would
not necessarily, under international
law. have to be made expressly, but
minors born in the United States-and
not children Of diplomsts-are not able
to throw off American citizenship"
In support of his own view, and
against the decision Of the State De-
partment. Professor Stowell has ar
raved a formidable list of authorities.
He cites a direct statement made by
Secretary of State Marcy in 1854, based
upon the Constitution and covering
similar case, a similar statement from
Acting Secretary of State Robert Bacon
in 1907, along with the official report
of the Citizenship Board and two deci-
sions of the United States Supreme
Court.
In every case il Is clearly and un-
mistakably stated that children born in
the United States, even though their
parents be unnaturaliZed, are American
citizens.
Professor Stowell finds that Marcy
made this statement on June s, 1854. IN
reply 10 an inquiry on the Citizenship
of children:
"In reply to the inquiry as 70 whether
the children of foreign parents born in
the United States, but brought TO the
country of which the father is a sub
ject, are entitled to protection as the
citizens of the United States | have TO
observe that it is presumed that ac-
cording to- common law, any person
born in the United States, unless ne
may be born in one of the foreign lega-
tons therein, may be considered citi-
zen thereof until he formally renounces
his citizenship"
Mr.. Bacon, ffty-three years later.
committed himself much more strongly
on the point. Ip reply to an. inquiry
made from Berlin by Ambassador
Charlemagne Tower regarding a young
man born of German parents in the
United States, Mr.. Bacon said:
"The young man i undoubtedly

OF the United States is sure; the ma
tional honor is safe"
Materialism Dragging Nation Down
The Secretary took for his subject

lege man for his alma mater, he said
ia a sentiment making for patriotism
because 10 is one of the elements oil

terest or selfish motive.
1--WE should rejoice" he continued
that in some things at least We can
be sentimental IN an age when the gen
eral disposition of men IS to reduce
everything TO terms OF utility and when
the standard of excellence is sought in
answering. the question, TO what ma
terial use can 1t be putt That ques-
ton embodies, to my mind, the general
tendency of modern thought toward
the various phases of the relationship
of man 10 man and of man 10 society
"The American people-and / think
they are not different from other peo-
ples-have been growing more and
more unitarian in these later years
their thoughts and acts more and more

teal and less and less by what Is called

benefit is the apparent goal Of Ameri-
can effort.
at is indeed a commentary on the
American people that not few think
ing men have been asking with serious
concern: Have American eyes grown
dim TO the achievements of the past!
Has the blood of patriotism ceased to
throb in American veins? Have we
forgotten that our heritage of liberty
was sealed with the lives OF devoted
men and that it is = sacred trust which
We must hold and transmit unimpalred
to the generations TO come"
81 believe most firmly that every one
of these questions can be answered IN
the negative believe that at heart
the American people are loyal and
patriotic. Put 10 the test. ! do not
fear the outcome. And yet | feel that
the spread of materialism has been a
menace TO our national character, TO
which we should not be Indifferent, a
menace which ought not and must not
continue.
"To preserve in their high place in
the life of the Republic those great I'M
pulses which have made US a virile and
proud nation we must cultivate senti-
ment and emphasize the ideal more than
we have done in recent years. We
must cease measuring accomplishment
bv dollars and cents. Sentiment of
every sort. provided its object is noble,
is worth while"
