| My love and /.
And life seeemd fair, and life seemed
Ger all the brave blue sky
The mountain tops in grandeur old
Upreared their silent peaks,
| 1t almost seemed they life did hold.
/ Could think and move and speak
| Those golden days-my love and 1
When all the world seemed fair,
| And joyous hope sang in our hearts,
While bird-notes filled the air.
I wandered through the summer fieldt
Alone, my love not there,
| And oh, how barren seemed the earth,
| How changed the summer air.
] Yet still the sun was shining.
And still the birds sang on,
| wondered then if heartaches
With each new day are born.
Each spot and nook we knew so well
A memory held for me,
On every path 1 heard his step.
| His face l seemed to see.
And still the peaks lie silent,
Majestic as of old,
But lifeless now they seem to me.
And silent, far-off, cold.
Yet tho our hearts be heavy,
And bitter still our loss.
There were no flowers blooming
OF old-upon ChriSt'S cross.
And if through every heartache
Our Saviour's face we see,
! We still may feel his handclasp
Through our Gethsemane.

MAYOR STARTS CITY CLEANUP
Moves to Rid VirOqua of Nests of
Iniquity

Mayor Roseland has started an en-
ergetic campaign to clean up the bad
spots of the city's morals. For the
past half month he and his helpers
have been busy night and day gather
ing evidence against liquor violations
and more serious offenses.
Four who have been inbibing too
freely of lemon extract have been
hailed into court and made to pay stiff
fines.
A couple of decidedly unsavory
characters coming here from near
Readstown, were ordered to move on
without delay, and they complied and
departed for parts unknown.
Another couple were discovered at
the cemetery under discriminating cir
cumstances, and the man ordered to
leave town at once. He tarried not.
Last night, after some clever de-
tective work another couple, both mar
ried, were arrested at the home of the
woman and lodged in the county Jail.
They waived examination and were
bound over to the circuit court. The
man gave bonds for appearance, and
the woman still "languishes in durance
vile"
The Censor gives publicity to these
facts with regret. 1t is seldom we
touch upon such things, and we re-
frain from mention of the guilty part
les by name because of consideration
for relatives and friends who feel
keenly the disgrace of it all. Mayor
Roseland tells US this is the beginning
of an effort upon the part of city of
ficials to effect a thorough smoke-out
of vice conditions, and every assistance
should be given them in bringing
about this much desired end.

AMENDMENT IS UPHELD!
is A SWEEPING DECISION FOR
PROHIBITION
Highest Tribunal of Land Holds Fed
eral Prohibition Amendment and
Enforcement Act Constitutional

Both the federal prohibition amend
ment and the enforcement act passed
by congress were held constitutional
by the supreme court.
The court dismissed petitions filed
by the state of Rhode Island to have
federal officials enjoined from enforc-
ing prohibition in that state.
The court also dismissed injunction
proceedings brought by the state of
New Jersey to prevent enforcement of
prohibition within that state.
Injunctions restraining prohibition
officials from interfering with the
Manitowoc Products company, a Wis
consin concern, in the manufacture of
beer containing more than half of one
per cent of alcohol were dissolved by
the court Validity of the prohibition
amendment and portions of the en-
forcement act was involved in seven
separate proceedings before the SUI
preme court.
In all the cases a general attack on
the amendment was made on the
ground that it was revolutionary and
constituted legislation in the guise Of
a constitutional amendment designed
to regulate the private habits of in
dividuals; that it interferred with the
states police powers; that it was in
valid because adopted by two-thirds of
the members of congress present when
the vote was taken and not by two
thirds of the membership, and that the
amendment was not ratified by three
fourths of the states owing to pro-
visions in many state constitutions re-
,quiring that amendments be submit
ted to a referendum.
We rejoice to say that all these con-
tentions were quashed by the supreme
court, and we hope the question is
finally decided, and the liquor forces
will reconcile themselves to the in
evitable.

library at home, under guard, David
bruce having to go to Chicago on bust
ness and his daughter Dora having to
return to college after the holidays,
a family travelling party in David
Druce's private car is made of the
trip. All this falls into the plans of
Denton bruce and Marcia Lamar still
plotting to secure the million in bonds
for themselves and "the Evil Eye"
Denton arranges with the cohorts of
The Evil Eye" that Dora shall be
mysteriously kidnapped from the OBJ
servation platform of her fathers pri-
vate a on the rear Of the Chicago
Express. Marcia Lamor has accom-
panied the Druces. as a close friend
OF Mrs. bruce, and David bruce has
brought Frank Armstrong along as a
guard Of valuable papers he is taking
to Chicago. 1t is Denton brakes plan
that Dora shall be kidnapped and held
in a secret den of The Evil Eye"
until her father will pay the million in
ransom of his daughter. While the
attention of the bruce travelling par
ty is diverted by a clever ruse, Dora
is dragged from the observation plat

Meanwhile, Dora bruce, who has
passes in her car, and notes the riot
on lower Broadw&. Seeing he will
be overpowered. Dora impulsively has
her automobile stopped and endeav.
ors to assist Armstrong. whom she
has met. She aids Armstrong as best
she can, and when Armstrong leaps
out of the melee still holding to the
sstchel of bonds, into a racing car
from which two crooks participating in
the hold-up have jumped, she gets into
the racing car with him, and they
speed away.
Meanwhile at the bruce bank, the
lone hold-up man is overpowered and
is found to be a harmless crank armed
only with a toy pistol. He is taken
TO the police station, just as word
comes telephoned in to the bank by
one of the guards that Armstrong and
the other guards we're attacked in the
street by a gang of crooks following a
sidewalk collision with two blindmen.
The guard also reports over the tele-
phone that at the height of the en-.
counter and struggle Armstrong has
disappeared with the million in bonds.
The police r sent to the scene, but
when they arrive most of those who
participated in the attack on the mes
sengers and guards with the bonds
have disappeared, and the police have
no prisoners to take except the two
or three blind men and the protesting
man in clerical attire.
At the police station, Denton bruce
refused to prosecute the silly crank
who held up the bank with a glass
candy pistol, especially when the bo-
gus clergyman states he will see the
poor half-witted fellow placed under
proper restraint. The bogus clergy
man also testifies and proves the in
nocence Of himself and the poor blind
e As it is evident the real crooks
and robbers have escaped, and as word
has ben received at the bank that Dora
and Armstrong are safe al the bruce

ing has been stolen either at the
bank or in the street, the blind men
as we'll as the hilf-witted Bolshevist
bank-robber are dismissed, and the
oily Holy Joe" the bogus clergyman
receives the thanks of Denton. Out
side the court it is apparent that the
bogus clergyman and the supposed
half-witted Bolshevist who has held
up the bank with a glass pistol are
