Horse Exhibitors Decorate Stalls.
The exhibitors OF horses deserve n
lot OF credit for the handsome manner
In which they decorated the exhibition
stalls. The decorating was done at the
personal expense of the exhibitors and
was quite lavish, resplendant in colors
and abundant in bunting and drap-
erks.
The horses on exhibit were decked
out in ribbons. festooning and paper
flowers and presented handsome ap-
pcarance. The showing was the best
ever made.

Quickly Cured by
WAKEFIELD'S
Blackberry Balsam

wakenelds Blackberry Balsam has
been the surest and safest remedy for
Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera Infan-
tum and Cholera Morbus for u years.
While 1t Is quick and positive in it's
action, 1t is unlike other remedies in
that 1t is harmless and does not con-
stipate. 1t simply checks the trouble
and puts the stomach and bowels In
their natural. regular condition. OF
the millions Of bottles that have been
sold, never has a case been reported
to the manufacturer where cure
was not effected when directions were
followed, even after other remedies
had failed. Every home should have a
bottle or more on hand ready for sud
den attacks. Full size bottle, 40c

Two Goals Are Reached.
AS the two first days Of the. fair
showed attendance and receipts Of rec

hoped to secure a total attendance of

these goals were reached and passed.
Both receipts and attendance figures
were beyond expectations Of the most
optimistic.
Ideal weather. with the exception Of
threat Of rain on the morning OF the

fact that no accidents married the

People at this end of the state are

100000 In the first place, they feel that
NOW is no time for the outlay of such a

MONROE.DOCTRlNE WINS.

After a spirited debate, in which
President Wilson took leading part,
the following amendment to the Con-
stitution of the League of Nations was
adopted:
CIV. The covenant does not affect
'.the validity of international engage
''ments, such as treaties of arbitration
'or regional understandings like the
Monroe Doctrine, for securing the
maintenance of peace.
This amendment was opposed by the
French delegates. They took the posi-
ton that if the League Constitution
forbid European nations from sending
armed forces to the Western Hemis-
phere, the converse might be true, or
at least afford reason for the refusal
of the nations of the New World to
, md armed forces to Europe to help
protect France should that country
q again attacked.

salient, but victory was won then
quickly and our losses were compare
lively small. We had eleven divisions
or about 100000 men, at the Second
Marine, where our men played a de-
cisiye part, but then we were under the
French high command.
The toll that we paid in the Argonne
Forest and along the Mouse was ter
ible, because that was conceded by
n the military leaders, French and
English as we'll as American, to be
ae most difficult part of the German
line, as it was the most vital. The
Germans, aided by the nature of the
country, also accumulated forty-sev-
en- of their best divisions for its de-
tense, and they fought desperately,
knowing that if the Americans got
through the game was up.
Our men went through, but they suf-
fered 1000 casualties, of whom about
10000 were killed.
The Argonne was not as spectacu-
lar as the Second Marine or the break
ing of the Hindenberg line but more
than one-third Of our casualties in
Europe occurred there.

WHAT is A LEGISLATURE

The Constitution OF the United
States provides. that amendments
submitted by two-thirds of both
Houses of Congress shall be valid
when ratified by the Legislatures of
thfee-fourths Of the states. Some
states now have Constitutions which
contain provisions providing for
a sort of appeal from the action
Of their Legislatures; an, when such
an appeal is taken, the law has to
be approved by majority vote of
the electors before it has any bind
ing force or effect.
There is some question about what
constitutes legislature in states
where every elector is given the right
under certain conditions, to vote di-
rectly for or against the effectiveness
of state laws. In such a state does
the legislature consist of house and
senate and all of the voters residing
within it's borders?
The liquor men are contending that
all states that have referendum pro-
visions in their constitutions have a
right to demand the submission of
the prohibition amendment to a popu-
lar vote, and that none of those states
can be counted as having ratified the
prohibition amendment until such a
vote has been taken, and not then I'M
less a majority of the electors vote
in favor of ratification.
The contention Of the liquor men
will fail for two reasons:
First. Because the Supreme Court
will quite likely hold that there is
no state in which all of the voters are
members of the legislature or, properly
speaking, part Of the legislative
body. But even though the court
should hold that all of the voters in
a referendum state were part of the
legislature, for another and very good
reason the court will hold that amend
ments to the Federal Constitution
could not be submitted for ratification
erendum is new thing in this coun
try. When the Federal Constitution
was adopted there was no such thing
as a referendum vote on any state
legislation. The right to amend the
Federal Constitution is based upon
conditions as they existed when il
was adopted, and the people of every
state have the right to say that nc
new way of amending the Federal
Constitution can be resorted to by any
state or any number of states.

COMMITTEE FAVORS IMPEACH.
MENT OF GOVERNOR HARD.
INC

BY a vote of II for to IA against the
House committee has decided to rec
ommend the impeachment of Governor
Harding. Probably before this paper
is in the hands of its readers there
will be two majority and two minority
reports submitted by the committee.
One Of the majority reports will rec
ommend the impeachment Of the Gov
ernor and the other the exoneration of
Attorney General Havner. The minor
ity reports will recommend the CEN
sure Of both the Governor and Attor-
ney General
We have not followed the evidence
closely, but we incline to the opinion
that the minority reports more nearly
approach the right than the majority
reports.
