THE DRAFTED MANS PRAYER.

Lord we know you can forgive,
But do lot let the Kaiser live.
Send him down where he ought to
have been
Before the U. S. lost so many men.
Now. oh Lord, if it is your will,
Wen try Il best the Kaiser to kill,
And break up this horny war
And keep us from the Germans claw.
Troop trains running every day,
Taking us from our wives so gay
In some distant land to roam,
To protect our U. S. home.
J. Bennett is still the U. S. friend;
He tried to cheer the drafted men.
He had flags from wheel to wheel
In his big Overland automobile.
To call their names
He drove his car from east to west
To call their names I'll do my best.
He gave them a big parade
And stopped to drink with Annie
Wade.
Arthur Williford and ode Grow,
John Bradford and Joe Shannon
/ Will be there when the whistles blow
To help fire the cannon
The ladies of the city
Came to the hurry call,
Gave the boys a banquet
In the big Masonic hall.
Some women cried, some fell out,
You know it was so sad
To see the train pull off from her
And carry all she had.
A soldier boy composed some cards.
And could have COMPOSED these.
Before another three months
He'll be going back across the seas.
Now Wife, Mother. Sweetheart. all,
Cheer VI, don't look so sad,
For Uncle's ships are coming home
And bring your loving Dad.

Conclude Debate
On Prohibition

Washington, July 12.-General de-
bate on the prohibition enforce.
ment bill-twelve hours Of twas
concluded late today in the House
and advocates and opponents Of the
measure made ready for the real
battle that will begin Monday when
it is taken up. paragraph by para
graph, for amendment.
Prohibition leaders admitted to-
night that it was doubtful whether a
vote would be reached before Satur-
day.
There will be a fight in every line
Of the printed text" they said. first
of which will be over an attempt to
split the three-part bill so as TO take
up separately a straight measure for
enforcement of the wartime Law.
Representative Igoe, Democrat, of
Missouri. put life into the dreary pro-
ceedings near the end Of the debate
and startled some Of the prohibition
advocates by suggesting that they
raise a point Of order against a pro-
posal to let the House vote on an
amendment to repeal the wartime
Law.
It was just what some of them had
been looking for. and half a dozen
were known 10 be ready with the
contention that such an amendmen.
was not in order.
Mr.. lgoe, in charge Of the minor
ity attack on the bill, reported out
by the judiciary committee, OF which
ne is a member, seemed to sense the
desire Of the prohibitionists to step
forward and crush any such move.
He went, therefore, to headquarters
and asked Chairman Volstead of the
judiciary committee. in charge Of the
bill. to use his influence among pro-
hibltion members SO as to let the
question be placed before the House
for decision.
In view Of that fact" said Mr..
Igoe, that the prohibitionists con-
tend the majority Of the people are
il favor Of the enforcement OF war
time prohibition, will you not give
the House q chance to vote on a
straight-out repeal?"
That is a question I cannot an
swer," Mr.. Nolstead replied. Il
haven't had time TO consider il or
10 take the matter up with those
who would have 10 be consulted"
That was all that was said on the
subject. But it was enough, oppon-
ents Of the bill said, to show that
the repeal motion would have nc
. chance in the House.
