GHTENING the process of amending the con-| Constitution of the United States is the object! of a joint resolution by Senator Wadsworth, of New i York. The resolntion provides that members of at least one branch of the state legislature ratfying a pro- posed amendment to the federal constitution must. ‘be elected after the amendment has been proposed, ‘and that any state may require confirmation of the| action of its legislature by a popular vote; and that | any state may change its vote until the amendment has been ratified by three-fourths of the states. The proposed change in ratification methods is particularly interesting at this time, when many suggestions are being made for amendments to the Constitution. Representatives from many churches | have just met in Washington to discuss plans by which federal control of motion pictures can be | brought about. At present seven states have motion | P picture censorship Jaws, which are in the main not very satisfactory to either the motion picture indus- try, the picture house managers, or the public. Many ministers believe that national control is a necessity, but legislators as a rule see the proposal as an) infringement of that freedom of the press and speech guaranteed by the constitution. Among the amendments algeady proposed are sey-| eral on the subject of child labor to replace the one declared unconstitutional by the supreme court, and one by the woman member of the house from Illinois| to require a referendum before war can be declared. With so many proposed amendment in the air the fate of the Wadsworth resolution will be watched with interest. Solemn Mysteries. N YSTERIES of advertising are beyond the av- erage editor. The order of things permits him not to comprehend the wherefores of the strange and startling designs he cones across in the advertising pages. There are times, however, when his ineradicable yearning for useful information—a thing far from common curiosity—impels him humbly to seek light on certain phases of the art. He would, for example, like to penetrate the mystery of the very long and narrow woman whose portraits illuminate the fash- ion pages of department store ads. Tall women are numerous in these days of athletics and freedom, but outside of those ads they are not seven or ejght feet or more in height. Nor are they so limited in width as the pictures Indicate. Where did the ar- tists get their models? Where do they find those singularly fascinating faces, with features consist- ing of a straight line and three dots so arranged as to suggest odalisques—or is odalisque the word? At any rate, something Oriental Art? Of course it’s art—high art, at that. It came in simultancously with the long skirts that fashion now decrees for women, but the women who will have to wear those skirts are the same ones who have been arrayed in short ones, and they are not head and shoulders taller than their “men folks,” Nor are all of them lacking in breadth. What, may the humble secker after useful knowledge ask, can a short, stout lady do with one of those long and nar- row gowns that are alleged in the advertisements, no doubt truthfully, to be the last word in stylish attire? isis Arousing the People. 4 FRIEND has written to inquire why the Tri- # pune has so constantly presented the unfavor able side of prohibition enforcement and omits to emphasize the unquestioned good results of a liquor less nation. Our friend does not seem to doubt our ‘| bition situation is inade very plain—it {s more ad Ohe Casner Daily Tribune | The Little Scorpions’ Club. that he is broad enough and philisophical enough and familiar enough with public questions and great reform movements to thoroughly understand and ap- | preciate the task the forces for good have in con- vincing the forces of evil of their error. i] Our friend assumes that the reason for frequent’ | reference to law violations and evasions is because these things are more In the daily news and become | ! subjects of public discussion, whereas law observ- ance being the regular and proper order of things and to be expected does not attract the public at- tention nor receive the consideration and commenda- | tion it should. By a slight paraphrase the prohi:| vertised in the breach than in the observance. Our friend is partially right In his assumption, but only partially so. He knows, or should know if he has followed the Tribune's attitude toward enforce ment of not only the prohibition law but of all law, that there is no stronger advocate of just this thing than the Tribune. This page has presented argu- ment and read lessons on this subject until there seems to be nothing more that could be said. It has done the same on the general subject of prohibi- tion. The Tribune's notion on this subject, briefly | stated, isethat the person who cannot see the bene fits of prohibition to the human family and its neces- | sity and desirability as a national policy is a fool | and devoid of understanding. | There are more ways than one of bringing home| to the general public the merits of an existing sit-| uation, securing support or arousing action. Play- ing up the good to be derived, or that which has al ready been accomplished, and is acknowledged and | unquestioned, is more often less potent in securing | a result, than in presenting in detail the reverse or) evil side, together with the attending violations, humiliations, wrongs, deceits, and outrages against a good public policy. Reactien upon the public mind {s more often ob. tained by the latter course than by the former, for the fighting instinct is aroused through it. The public mind is not the deep thinking mind. The, object lesson is the most powerful factor of all in dealing with the public, when circumstances admit! of its presentation.

Out of the front door of the continent are departing the Americans, essentially European peo- ple, and into the back door are coming the Turks es- sentially an Asiatic people.
