An Honor to the State

For number of years to the name of this

flame of battle in which the liberties of the world arc
stakcd, it may be only in the defence lines
of civilization and of national independence that the
flag of the supcrdreadnaught Colorado will testify 10
all men the spirit of America and as part of that
spirit the thoughts and the feelings of the men and
women of this commonwealth of the mountains.
1t has never been the lot of battle ship to hold

We cannot hope for any other fate for this latest

The Validity Of Prohibition

Ever since the prohibition amendment to the fed
cral constitution passed its opponents have been
striving to discover technical ground upon which
they might defeat the manifest will of the people.
Among the points of possible attack the provision
that the amendment must be ratified within seven
Such provision it claimed, is unconstitutional be-
cause there is no constitutional warrant for such
Limitation of the power of the states to rafy the pro-
posed amendment.
The fact that the amendment attacked upon
other grounds and that the year clause
ed over sufficient proof that thS antiprohibition
lawyers did have very good opinion of this par
tcular point and if at this late day, attack is to be
made upon the prohibition amendment because of this
provision, the friends of prohibition need not feel any
serious alarm.
The supreme court of the United States in all such
matters, has inclined toward forwarding the manifest
will of the people, instead of e1asgeratins techncaties
in order to defeat that will In the present the
ratification has been accomplished within the
year PERIOD and while there might be good reason
hold the limitation invalid because of lack of constu-
tiona warrant for it, it would absurd to argue
that the whole amendment is invalid because of super
fluous limitation that has never been made effective
1t is for the supreme court, and not for any one
else, to make the decision in such matter but there
good for expressing the opinion that this be-
lated attack upon prohibition is not serious danger.

Aside from the fact that publishers

PURIFIED POPULAR SONGS

song is written when 1t will be on sale
in the five and ten cent stores.
In other words. popular songs cannot
be forced upon the public like prohi-
, bition. or specified types OF moving
pictures. because tho public has a
share in their making. 1t sings them.
Moreover, singing them is a purely
spontaneous act. which is not apt TO
be governed by arbitrary regulations.
You can give people any number OF
pure and innocent ballads as you can
lead "A horse to water. but you cannot
make them sing such ballads unless
they happen to be in the mood for
them.
Tho publishers, OF course, know this
better than anybody else. They
would probably go right on publishing
rsque songs, despite reform opposi-
ton" declared the song writer, IF they
were not jolly well surc the people
were tired OF them. You sec, tho
wicked lyric had a tremendous vogue
shortly after tho war, so that a re-
action was only to be expected. Now
wevc got TO turn out sweet, clean dit
ties OF a soothing rather than n
stimulating nature. We've got to fol-
low the popular mood.
Now what is the popular mood at
prescnt-a little sober, cautious and
chastcnod, is 1t not? Tho rcstlcssncss
have greatly subsidcd. We have quit
being extravagant and have settled
down 10 sober economy. We have n
plain, sedate man OF the most conser-
vativc tendencies for President. We
arc depressed. as VIC never wcrc dur
ing the war, by the gloomy prevalence
of unemployment. Hence. what are
We beginning to sing? Rather plain
tive songs about tho peace and security
of tho home. tho dignity of true love,
and the folly of wickcdncss.
I'm tho vaudeville theatcrs. tho
change is strikingly evident For the
past decade most vaudeville sketches
have boon simply n patchwork of slurs
on the sacred state of matrimony Now.
in the better houses, these havo ceased
abruptly and the domestic hearth Is
again surrounded by a lavender halo. -
A Conservative Reaction
This sudden change of mood may
have been facilitated by reform pro-
paganda. Our song writer does not
deny that. But in his opinion-and he
has watched and studied the whims of
the public for ycsrs-tho pendulum was
duo to swing back to the realm of con-
servatism anyway. That the music
publishers did not anticipate its so
rapid occurrence is shown by tho fact
that tho popular song market is now
aarmingly dull. Tho seasons usual
crop of song is not taking hold as it
should. Instead, tho old melodies. pop
ular 20 years ago. arc being resurrect-
cd and played everywhere. Melodies
of old-timc tunes arc played and
