The Constitutional Convention

Among the propositions to be presented to the voters
of Colorado at the general state election next fall Is one
authorizing the assembly Of convention to revise the
constitution of this state. The proposition is made with
sincere purpose to the public interests and 1t
should receive the approval Of the voters in this election
Colorado s constitution is badly patched instrument
Of government Originally framed at the time the state
was admitted to the union, it justly regarded as
model of what such charter Of state government ought
to be.
In the course Of nearly half century some amend
snts found to be necessary to At changing condi
ons and needs and other changes made to suit the
passing fanccs OF radical rcformers to the
poses Of designing politicians.
In particular, it found when the budget system
introduced under Governor Shoupand general
effort made to put the state govempent system
of business efficiency and economy, that there
overload of commissions and bureaus that could not be
abolished because they enrenched behind eonsu.
tonal provisions Some of these probably estab-
hed with sincere purpose to serve the public interests
Others appear to have been the outgrowth of deliberate
plan of political machine building continued in the state
government for several years.
These obstacles might be removed by constitutional
amendment but it has seemed better to clear the stua
on by constitutional convention, by of which
the constitution be made coherent and consistent
instrument thruout
The only apparent danger in such proposition is
that it gives opportunity for schcmcrs and cranks to
work against the public interests.
Originally, Colorado's constitution considered
o be of tho LIBERAL rather than the conservative type.
The reservations Of public power and the safeguard Of
public liberties broad and comprehensive. It
abshed government strong enough to protect the pub
lie interests, and at the time secured the rights of
the people against any form of tyranny.
Unfortunately there time in the history of the
state when the government fell into the control of selfish
interests. Politics became very largely contest be-
tween two groups of corporations and the judicial de-
partment we'll the legislative and the executive,
too greatly influenced by those whose main purpose
not the general welfare.
There is much in Colorado constitution today that
If the result of reaction of public sentiment against
corporation control of government Such provisions as
the initiative and the referendum, the direct primary
the socaled recall of judicial decisions home rule for
cities, and the recall of elected officials owe their exist
the popular belief that the original safeguards
cf the constitution had become perverted from their
intent inadequate to safeguard free government

Pueblo and the San Juan

According to Denver newspaper, three counties Of
the San Juan region will be "ost Colorado if the
direct railroad connection between Durango and Los
Angeles is established.
Pueblo has selfish purpose Of development that
conflicts with the development Of the great that
lies southwest Of this city. If the commercial and indus
trial possibilities Of Durango and the Juan such
will be best served by the opening of connecting nf
with the southwestern railroad system, tho that
link built the better it will be for Pueblo It may
loss of business in the immediate future but the
final result will be Of much greater benefit
Some day, undoubtedly, there will be direct, broad
guage line from Pueblo to Durango That road will be
link in Of the main transcontnenta lines and it will
bring Pueblo into direct touch with Los Angeles Tho
Durango gets the commercial and industrial dcve
opment it deserves, the Pueblo will get from
Durango and the San Juan and the great southwest all
that this city is fairly entitled to expect from them.

COURTESY
Frederick A. Hatch


1t is when one travels that he is brought into
contact and experience with that somewhat rare
virtue of courtesy. 1t is something far deeper
than politeness. A small boy has just come down
the aisle Of the car swinging himself along on the
arms of each seat, and before he does so he asked
each occupant if it will trouble him should he
swing along in that fashion. Well brought up,
and yet the sincerity of the voice there is indica
tion that he is in daily contact with such inherent
courtesy that it is as natural for him to consider
others as it is for him to consider himself.
The idea Of the word, is to practice what ono
has learned Mt court in the presence of royalty
and the upper ranks Of life. But many man and
woman are courteous who never broke bread at
sny table more unusual than where the common
wayfarers gather. Their contact with fine minds
In their reading, their native repulsion by the
vulgar and the selfish, and their recognition OF
the inner rights of others, contribute to that
manner and demeanor which is termed courteous.
1t grace Of soul which must be real before grace
Of physical carriage is genuine.
And who should be most evident as to
audiences with the real digntaries Of life but those
who are supposed to be in close relation to the
"ilfe which is life ndeed1' Church members too
frequently forget that they giving false
impression of the meaning and privilege Of being
professed Christian by their lack of that finess
of social relations which thinketh evil and re-
joiceth not in niquity-Courtesy implies clean
liness of body and raiment, and just truly
cleanliness of soul and spirit. If we at homo in
the Court with those who have gone into the pres
ence of the King, will manifest it in daily
contact and criticism and service. And then folks
cannot help but like us. That means unselfish
friendship.

Advice to Girls
: By AfRHE LAURIE

DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:
am a girl still in my "teens."
and I want some advice.
I have been going with young
man about two years my senior.
He is tall and very popular among
many girls. Last winter he attended
the same school I did, but this year
he is attending another school
He was very devoted 70 me last
winter and summer. but this winter
IL seems 10 me he has not been as
devoted as he should be. although
he says he still loves me-
What can I do 10 find out whether
he loves me or not? What can I do
10 win his love back
There is another young man who
loves me dearly. l Went with him
for one year. He told me he loved
me. and a short time ago when ]
was with him he said he still loves
me and never can forget me.
