A flat bowlful of nasturtiums on a

sort of arrangement of flowers pro*
Aides a treat to the eyes. The dis

help make up for the lack of drapery
and curtains usual In summer rooms.

DISAPPROVES
STATE-WIDE
PROHIBITION
rORKER PRESIDENT WILLIAM H. TAFT FORCIBLY EX
PRESSES HIS OPINION WHEN HE SAYS:
“Nothing is more foolish than to adopt & law which cannot t
enforced. This is illustrated by the failure of attempts that have
been made to enforce a prohibition law in communities where local
sentiment is opposed to such a policy.’’
The legal mind of former President Taft recognizes the fact that
s law which does not agree with the views of the people to whom it is
intended to apply is uuenforcible except under a monarchical form of
government.
For nearly one hundred and forty years the American people
have been accustomed to govern themselves. It is perfectly natural
that they should res-nt the attempted enforcement of laws with
which they arc not in sympathy, and that they should elect as their
local officials only such men as they are sure will not enforce the
laws to which the people object.
. Of the form of government the revolutionary heroes fought to
adopt a recognized basic principle is that of local self-government as
applied to the smaller voting units of the nation. This was intended
io guard against the kind of fanatical legislation that would permit
the prejudices of one section of a state to be forced upon the people
residing in another.
• Colorado's local option law applies the principle of self-govern
ment in its broadest sense. Under the terms of this law every pre
inet, ward, town and city in the state has the right to settle the
license question in accordance with the views of its people.
STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION WOULD REPEAL
