In the opinion of the Brooklyn Citizen,
when he states that these j^ongs re
vealed the deep thoughts of the partici
pants In the great struggle of GO years
ago. lie contrasts them with .the
songs now In vogue, such as "Yes, We
Have No Bananas," "Take Us to the
Land of Jazz" and "Hall, llall, the
Gang's All'Ilere." "We are living In
a utilitarian age," he says, "and the
spirit that actuated that great war ap
pears to have gone." But to he fair,
the old veteran should contrast the
Civil war songs, hot with the songs of
the present mojpent, hut with those of
the World war. If we had nothing
like "Tenting Tonight" and "The Va
cant Chalp," we at least had "Tack Up
Your Troubles," with Its refrain,
"Smile, Smile, Smile," which animated
our soldier hoys and caused them to
march away singing with light hearts;
"Keep the Home Fires Burning,"
which was sung everywhere here and
abroad, and "There's a Long, Long
Trail," the soldiers' favorite, even
though it whs written a little while be
fore the war broke out.
But It is deeply regrettable that the
seriousness, the high moral tone, which
was felt so deeply not only through
the Civil war but through the World
war, has vanished. There Is a spirit of
levity apparent, as well as a condition
of lawlessness which portends evil for
the republic unless i{ is checked/
Italy Gets Art Treasure
The famous By /.an tine cross which
lias been the subject <>f a law case in
Glasgow, Scotland, has been returned
to the church from which, it has been
missing in Italy.
The cross, which is said to be worth
thousands of dollars, has been in the
possession of an ire cream salesman
for some lime, and was a few years
ago offered for sale in the window of
a shop in Clasgow. The cross having
been recognized as the one missing
from the parish church at Borgo-Colle
fegato, in southern Italy, the church
made a claim for its return, and an
order was made for the cross to be
restored. This was contested, but the
ice cream salesman has now lost the
appeal, so that the cross wiil once
more adorn the church.
It Is a beautiful piece of work, and
is said to have been f<Amd in the ruins
of a castle after the Messina earth
quake.

It will then hi* up to the lP'Jf> legis

Advocates of- thi,< eon ^iruluThal
change argue that it will reduee the
cost of government and thereby light

hull the present cost of legislation, it
is advocatod. I line has been strong
sentiment for this amendment in re
cent years, the most serious oppOsi-1
tio.n yeeming to ha\e. arisen in the
lcgislatuie.
Several am,endmcn7s will go hand
in hand with this one, made necessary
by it and needed for its effectiveness.
One of these provides the levying of
a biennial lax. With biennial ses
sions .the legislature would be -le
quired every other year to levy a tax
for* that year and also for the next
year. The same tax levy would hold,
without possibility of' change 'for two
years.
Other amendments related to the
biennial sessions proposed, provide
for election of constitutional officers
every four years instead of every two
years. These amendment^, several in
number, refer to all officers whose
terms are fixed by the constitution,
such as the lieutenant ' governor, sec
retary of state, treasurer, comptroller
general and adjutant general, and, in
separate amendments, .to governor,
attorney general and state superin
tendent of education.
Another amendment would providv
that two-thirds of the members of
I ' v ' '?
the legislature could cull a special
session wheiv the governor refused
to call *uch ession on the petition of
the. two- thirds ot" the members.
Another amendment would change
