FELT HER EXALTED POSITION
Empress Theodore, Though Not Born
to the Purple, Was Every Inch
Royal Ruler.

The name Theodore has been borne
by more than one lady of distinction
in Rome and in the Orient. The most
picturesque Of the group was the En-
press Theodore, wife Of Justinian
Byzantine emperor, who lived fourteen.
centuries ago. She was the daughter
Of the keeper of wild beasts and was
an actress in pantomime. ''living
movies" ono might call the perform
ances, for without speaking a word
she could make her audience hold its
sides with laughter. But as soon as
she became empress it was as If the
blood of all the Caesars coursed
through her veins, for none was more
arrogant than fhis housekeeping
daughter Of the people. Here Is one of
her orders to a messenger: IF you fall
in the execution of my commands l
swear by Him that liveth forever that
your skin shall be fiayed from your
body" And the messenger knew that
she meant every word Of 1t.
One may wonder If some of the mon
archs who recently have faded from
their thrones would have gone so read
lily if Theodore had been present.
There was an insurrection in Constan-
tinople and Justinian. and the royal
household were about to escape on
vessels waiting at the stairs of the
palace gardens, communicating with
the sea. Then spoke Theodore: IF
fight were the only means of safety !
should yet disdain to fly. Death Is
the condition of our birth, but they
who have reigned should never survive
the loss Of dignity and dominion.
implore heaven that 1 may never be
seen, not day, without my diadem
and purple" SO she restored the
waning courage Of Justinian and his
generals, and the day was saved.

IContinued from Yesterday

1t is possible that the vets may also
attack the legality Of the action Of
congress. By some the view Is held
that the amendment was not properly
submitted to the states by congress {;
that 1t was adopted by two-thirds Of q
quorum present and voting. whereas
according to the Constitution 1t should
have been adopted by two-thirds Of all
members elected. If the resolution
submitting the amendment were to be
declared unconstitutional it would lead
to much questioning, for virtually ali
Of the amendments to the Constitution
have been adopted by a two-thirds
vote Of the members present rather
than two-thirds vote Of all members
elected to congress.
Amendments Of the Past
The first national prohibition
amendment was proposed by Senator
H. w. Blair Of New Hampshire as
early as 1876. 1t provided for the
prohibition Of the manufacture, sale,
importation and expectation Of spirit.
Gus distilled liquor for beverage pur-
poses. He introduced such bill nine
times between 1876 and 1896; in 1856
he changed it to include all alcoholic
liquors.
Senator John D. Works of Califpr-
MIA introduced into the senate in 1914
bill providing for the prohibition of
spurious liquors, excluding wines and
beers. 1t received no support from
the national prohibition advocates
December 10, 1913, Congressman
Hobson Of Alabama introduced the
famous "Hobson resolution" The
original resolution placed the enforce
ment Of the law in the hands Of the
national government, but it was so
amended as to divide the responsible
ity between the state and federal gov
ernments, in order to secure the sup
port of certain advocates Of states
rights" The original resolution, was
amended eight times by Hobson him |
self and was finally voted on Deem
Der %. 1914, receiving 1877 votes. 258

nouncement Of ratification being merely
a imatter OF form. It Is needless to say
that the vets do not accept this view
and that effort to delay the formal
proceedings Will be made, prelimi-
nary to conteshng the legality Of the
ratification.
At any rate, II is formally an
nounced that such q contest will be
made. It is likely that the vets rely
more on the referendum proposition
than on the question Of votes.
Carrie Nation broke into the lime
light in the fall of 1900 and made her
name household word in newspaper
Offices and most American homes. She
was Mrs. David Nation of Medicine
Lodge, Kan.,r and a member in good
and regular standing of the w. c. T.
y. It is said that her first husband
died of delirium tremens. Anyway,
apparent incentive to use her Ratchet
on saloon furniture. And WELD that
Ratchet she did; it's fame temporarily
eclipsed that of the Father of His
Country.
Carrie Nations Little Ratchet.
Kansas was legally prohibition
state. AS matter of fact prohibition
was but a name and the saloons of the
state were wide open. The general
plan was to fine saloon $50 month
for breaking the law; that solved the
license difficulty. In short, prohibition
in Kansas had broken down complete
~ in the ten years it had been nomi-
nally in force and the state arthori-
ties had not the courage either to
modify the law or enforce it. Carrie
Nation took the situation into her own
har6e
