We not among those who believe there is
something in names; that is, imposed upon
helpless babes by foolish young parents Helen and
Louise are both nice names though neither

But as we have observed neither was responsible
for her name, but if it is Helen states that
Louise changed her name to Lulu, the latter must
assume responsibility for that name. And WHO ever

have seen plumbers bills which the recipients re-
garded as "lulus."

Il Is the Law

The Los Angeles Times has taken an attitude on
prohibition enforcement which should conlmendit to-
all law abiding citizens The Times recognizes some
thing that msny abiding citizens fail torecosne,
and that is That prohibition is no longer an issue;
that any further discussion of il is as improper as
it iseunprofitabe AS issue it is as dead as the
abolition of human slavery the discussions d Il
is foolish a revival of the arguments for and
against slavery.
While prohibition an issue the Times along
with many other newspapers opposed it. 1t was
consistent opponent Of it only when the resehl-
on before congress, and later when it Was be-r
fore the for ratification when required
majority Of the states made the amendment part of
the constitution the Times accepted it as a part Of
the constitution which must be upheld in all Of its
parts constitution in its entirety or in any of
its parts is to stand
The governor OF a great state a man who was
aspiring to the presidency, years ago declared
against prohibition, threatening make his state
'as wet the Atlantic ocean The governor of
Mississippi at the same time might have declared
with equal propriety, that Mississippi would be made
slave state again. The Times calls upon all
law abiding citizens. whatever they used to think
about prohibition. stand for the enforcement of
prohibition and Of every law which has the sane
tion of the people
We have said that prohibition as an issue is
dead. But 1t may be revived by the process
employed to make it an issue. That may. be done by
agitation to amend the constitution again. either
by repeating the Eighteenth Amendment or by modi-
flying it, We hardly think that that will be seriously
attempted but If it should be attempted, the sub
iect will be reopened for discussion when the pro-
ceedings have reached proper stage In the mean
time though, all really law abiding citizens like the
Times, win stand for the constitution "as isl
Day before yesterday the board of Chicago alder
men by vote.of 52ito adopted resolution calling
upon congress to amend the Volstead That
an entirely proper and orderly proceeding as
would have been involving the repeal of the prohi-
btion amendment. It is proper for any individual
organization, for city council state Legislature,
by resolution petition ask for any federal iegis
lation. But in the meantime the existing legislation
must stand.
The course of the Chicago Board of Aldermen is
in contrast to that of large number of American
citizens who, protesting satisfaction with the law,
fout secretly and encourage the violation of it,
by making light of it bring it into disrepute and
encourage others to disregard it.

NEGRO SONGS
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1921, by Frank Crane)

The Negro problem in the United States is usually
considered in one of three aspects.
First, as labor question His competition with
the whites resented for the old reason that his scale
of living is lower
Second, as political question: The injection of
mass of ex-saves into the voting population brought
its inevitable confusion.
Third as social problem THE Negro cannot be
argued or egslaed out of his status of human being
and as such he has to get along in some way with
white human beings.
There is another aspect of the Negro question:
however which has been neglected and that is the
tistic and aesthetic aspect.
While the Negro is inferior to the Anglo-SaXon in
the rougher and more practical activities OF civilization
there are certain regions of sentiment where ne is su
perior
In one realm of feeling the Negro is distinctly SUI
perior and that is music.
The only entirely original music produced in the
United States, and perhaps in the world, IN recent
times has been the Negro melodies They the pro-
ducts of pure and vigorous creative imagination
Natalie Curtis Burn recently got out series of
four pamphlets of Negro folk songs, wherein there is
presented to u.s. in striking way, the musical genius
of the Negro.
The black man produced his music, as all true
music is produced as byproduct of his work. his play
and his passion.
He is primarily the creator of the work song The
pamphlets referred to contain interesting examples
For instance there is the "PeanutPckn Song" which
grew out of the times when the slaves of all ages gath
cred round the open bonfire and picked the harvested
peanuts from their stems:
II kin fill dis baskit if choose,
Den Massa gwine give me Christmas shoes,
Two red hank'chiefs an walkin cane
Den rs gwine strut down de Big House lane"
There was the "Hammern' Song" which comes
from the mines of Virginia, where the Worknen
chanted simple refrain and were lead by "headerD
or leader who received extra pay for his ability in i'm
provisaton.
Besides these there is "Chicka 'hanka" used by
workers on the railroad initiating the putting of loco
Y10ti Ionn nf fho
vised for dances; the CottonPickin Song the Corn
Shuckn' Song" and others.
And no mention has been made of the largest field
of ALL which is that of the spiritual songs and religious
melodies But the point of it all is that the Negro un-
consciously thinks musicaly To the white man. music
is a luxury. TO the negro it is life itself.

the king pay a debt owed to Admiral
Penn int American land, the king
agreed .r ,.
Before Penn left England he had
an amusing conversation with King

Penn.

experiment IS that for nearly CEN
tury it actually worked. The Quakers
established themselves in the belief
that the Indians were by nature
trusting and friendly, and according
to the histories they were justified.
The indians were used to promises
of, justice from the white men, but
they were not used to the promises
being kept. Penn became known
among the Indians as the one white
chief who kept faith with the red
men, 1t is recorded that the Indian
tribes became so friendly with
Penn's settlers that children who got
lost in the woods around Philadel-
phia were commonly directed to their
homes by the Indians.
The old story Of the latchstring,
told in many Quaker chronicles, is
illustrated in one OF Miss Oakley's
mural paintings. The latchstring was
LETT outside at night by Friends as a
sign of welcome TO anyone who might
be passing on one occasion a band
of Indians on the warpath stopped
at a Quaker home and finding the
door unfasteneo and the Quaker and
his wife standing with smiles and a
greeting inside; they retreated
quietly.
Penn's Arbitration System
Penn settled disputes between the
white settlers and the Indians by a
Jury of six settlers and six Indians
which proved satisfactory to all con.
cerned. All through the years. when
the Quaker government was in ef-
feet there is record Of only three
Friends being injured in the con-
flicts between the white men and
the Indians. 1t is recorded that these
three. woman and two men. lost
their faith and sought the protection
e forts and arms.
The Quaker colonists proved equal
TO the high standard OF peace seek
ing set by Penn. But outsiders who
came int the settlement brought
we lpons and trickery. They had
trouble with the Indians. Penn did
not attempt to limit his peaceful
community to Quakers and the num-
Der of outsiders grew. When there
were more Of the outsiders than
Quakers, and ideals of the Friends
were no longer a dominant force in
the community, the control was then
turned oVe' TO the majority element.
Swords and guns came into general
use. The holy experiment was over.
To most OF us who remember VIII
liam Penn vaguely as a dignified old
man who made friends with the In
di ms, it is interesting to recall that
he was one os the most daring and
far. seeing pioneers i'm our history.
To Benjamin Franklin is generally
accorded the honor of being the first

colonies. But Penn's writings set
e 'th this proposal-then a radical
one.

to suggest a parl ament of nations

portfolio, beautifully hand printed

of her paintings on the capitol walls
accompany the notes. This valuable
portfolio Miss Oakley loaned by re-
quest to the Library of Congress.
where it has been displayed. Now she
has taken ii back 10 her studio at

est at this time because of the holy
experiment. in disarmament which
William Penn made in Pennsylvania.
It. has been suggested that. copies
OF the portfolio be. presented to. the
delegates at the conference, and this
may be done. 1t is pointed out by ad-
vocates of disarmament that the pic

of disarmament.
