An Unfortunate DELAY

The delay in forwarding the work of flood protection
for Pueblo is arousing much unfavorabe among
those who familiar with the facts There doubt
that there has been needless delay and there is doubt
that this citys interests greatly endangered by any
postponement of measures that vitality necessary
But is easy TO place the blame where it Justly
belongs.
The Committee of Twelve, which has been preparing
the Conservancy law, has forwarded its work with all
possible speed The law has been completed for
than month"; and while it is not, and could not be free
from all grounds of criticism in all its details, it
with the unanimous approval of all who desire effective
flood prevention for Pueblo The Committee of Twelve
therefore cannot be held responsible for this unfortunate
delay
1t is the general understanding among the members
of the committee and Others that given
by Governor Shoup that the would be called
without needless delay the committee had
prepared the Consevancy law There is no good reason
to think that the Governor has changed his purpose
and this faith in the Governors sincerity is the
obvious because it is not reasonable to suppose that
state official any county city in Colorado, any
considerable number of individuals would deny to the
flood stricken city of Pueblo the legal relief necessary
enable them to proceed at its expense to safeguard
the city against another similar catastrophe.
Neither is there, according to reliable information.
any ground for the thought that the Moffat tunnel
boosters responsible for the delay 1t is stated upon
good authority that those who desire law permitting
the organization of tunnel districts upon lines similar
to those OF the proposed flood conscrvancy law are
ready for the extra session
What seems probable is that Governor Shoup, who
ha. been absent from the for weeks or some
Of his advisers has failed to appreciate the Importance
of prompt action for Pueblo's interests.
The extra session OF the legislature is the next
necessary step in the way of Pueblos flood protection
md oofh, r-n1scr he ~,
In the adoption of emergency legislation to meet
the emergency that has developed here there should be
neither delay qubbng upon details of the pro-
posed law.

RHYME OR FREE VERSE
Epitaphs were correct style and
everybody had them. Those individ-
uals whose outstanding deeds and
characteristics could not be squeezed
into rhymed couplets were Eloriusly
immortalized in free verse. Lady o.
Looney's epitaph is a good example,:
Here lies the body of
Lady O'Looncy,
Great niece of Burke, commonly
Called the sublime.
She was
Bland. passionate. and deeply religi-
GUS;
Also. painted in water-colors,
And sent several pictures to the Ex-
hlbition.
She was first cousin to Lady Jones.
And of such is the kingdom OF heaven.
But those days are gone. Poets no
longer specialize in epitaphs Hem
pecked husbands get even by some
verses to go on tombstones. The cpl
taph, which started off well In this
country in the graveyards OF Massa-
chusetts, is practically detunct.

Personal Liberty and the Booze Business

1t is to the advantage of any discussion OF prohib
ton TO keep clearly in mind tile distinction between the
personal consumption of alcoholic liquors and the bus-
ness Of distributing poison for profit.
Prohibition became effective as an economic and
not as moral measure The organized and aggressive
business OF booze caused revulson of public sentiment
and final political action just the organized and
ressve business of slave trading and not the Of
Shareholders brought about emancipation of the negroes
in the United States.

BY FREDERIC ]. HAsKIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., March A.
Censorship is now being carried to the
very grave. The latest thing in cen
sors, according to a serious minded
trade journal which keeps up with
tombstone news, Ia a censor of cpl
taphs. This official has been appoint
ed in an unnamed English village and
entrusted with tho job OF seeing that
graveyard solemnity is not violated
by flippant quips and epigrams on the
| tombstones.
| English Wears for n number of
years have supervised to some extent
tombstone sentiments. 1t may seem
strange that now, when epitaphs are
no longer INDUCED In by poets or poet
asters, there should be any great need
for a special guardian of tombstone
dignity. But the dangers, it seems.
are in the epitaphs which have been
perpetrated in the past. Graved on
old, moss-grown, tottering stones the
verses of century or two ago often
times express sentiments regarding
death and the dead that are fiippant,
irreverent, and in short. unsuited for
public perusal in this highly regulated
age.
Our attitude toward tombstones un-
doubtedly has changed. 1t is not SO
much that we think more solemnly Of
death: but rather that We think less Of
1t The churchyard is seldom the
graveyard any longer. Few people
, think of visiting the cemeteries out
side the city when they set out for
Sunday afternoon stroll. Decidedly,
the dead are not so much with us as
they were q few centuries, or even
few generations, back.
TOMBSTONES TOPICS OF TALK
Then, tombstones were live topic.
man expected to have an epitaph
written about him, and IL there was
any fear in his mind that his relatives
would not make n good Job OF 1t, he
wrote the label for his stone himself
or hired a professional to write one.
Ben Johnson, Milton. and Pope wrote
epitaphs. Shakespeare wrote his own
epitaph in a four-line verse OF warn
ing to any who might wish to disturb
his bones. To dash off a witty cpl
taph for n friend or enemy was par
loi trick with which kings and cour-
tiers whiled away a dull afternoon.
Thus when Charles II casually asked
Rochester to write his epitaph. the
courticr thought n minute and pro-
duced the following now famous lines
Here lies our mutton-eating king,
Whose word no man relied on;
Who never said a foolish thing,
And never did wise one.
The king took no offense, but set his
brains to work and composed a second
stanza:
]. death could speak. the king would
say.
In Justice to his crown,
HE acts they were the minister's.
Ills words they were his own.
Even II man was inadvertently
misplaced. he had to have tomb
stone and an epitaph, as is shown by
the following in an English church
yard:
