After the clerk read the resolution
senator Walters moved that IL tempo
rsriiy lie on the table Immediately
senator James A. Foley, leader Of the
minority. offered a similar resolution,
and amid laughter asked that his meas
are take the same course.
Like scenes were enacted in the As,
femoiy. There Simon l.. Adler, Repub-

resolution and was followed by
Charles D. Donohue. minority leader.
Win like resolution.

The HOOUer
Vacuum Cleaner

is the vacuum cleaner we
have put into our new Eff
cheney Kitchen because the
way this cleaner gets every
little particle of dirt out of
the house is simply wonder
full.
To begin with, it's tried,
true and tested Robbins &
Meyer motor is enclosed and
does not revolve too fast and
get all heated up and worn
out. 1t is steady and re-
liable.
The brush is connected bv a
belt to the motor. The suction
lifts the dust from the carpet
and the brush beats it into the
dust receptacle. While all this
is going on the carpet is really
receiving at the same time a
good, sound beating.
The attachments, too. are as
practical as they are fascinating.
With them one can clean uphol-
stored furniture, brush the cob
webs off the wall"-get all the
dirt out of pillows and mattress
es, blow the dust out of stray
corners (for instance, from radi
atorl, get the dust off pictures,
mouldings, draperies and hang
lngs. And all this is really
'gettlng the dust" for the dirt
is sucked into the dust recep-
tacle and not brushed off one
place to land in another. Really.
the dusting in a house where the
vacuum cleaner is used must be
very light in comparison to the
oldfashioned swept home. Then.
too, think of the hard, strenu-
Gus work saved. All one does
is stand around and guide the

There's a great difference be-
tween wants and needs.
The wages of your husband
or yourself may continue. Do
not spend them too hastily, for
big wages will not go on forever
unless some way is discovered to
earn them by more rapid or su-
perior workmanship.
While high wages will exist
so long as scarcity exists, it is
best to save all the money you
can and try to put it into one
of the several good savings
funds.
Do not let it be tricked
away from you by half-price
sales or fake investing COM
panies.
We shall always endeavor to
have on hand the largest stocks
of our qualities of merchandise,
and all of it is for sale. Ere
quently we think it to be our
duty to caution you not to let
your money 60 too easily.
Half-price sales anywhere are
almost always where the goods
were overmarked at first and
reduced to be temptingly ad-
vertised. When we for any
reason obtain goods at half
price we so advertise them
and not otherwise.
Keep your heads and feet these
days.

PEACE BY EDICT.
call a halt

A fine little forecast of how the projected World Fed
Grafton may be expected 70 work is found in the response
Of various ambitious little nations TO the warning given
by the Peace Conference against further aggression.
The Poles have been invading German Poland. The
czecho-Sloyaks have been invading GaIcia. The Rou
nanisns have been trying to Gust the Czecho-SIovaks
from Galicia. The J~ugo-Slavs and Italians have been
scrapping in Dalmatia. The italians and Greeks have
had trouble in Epirus. The Serbians have been disput-
ing with the Roumanians the province of Banat, north
Of the Danube. Newly awakened nationalities in Aus
trhaHungary have sought to extend their borders. There
has been similar trouble in Russia and in Turkey. Al
most every small nation involved in the war seems to
have gone on the supposition that it would be allowed
to hold any territory of which 1t could gain possession
Aaore the Peace Conference completed its plans for re-
rranging tn eworld.
Given a solemn warning that no nation will be
1hoFed TO keep territory taken forcibly since the arms
Zee was signed. nearly all the t-rouble-makers have re
hctantly subsidized. Nearly all of them are ready to &C
gHiesce in the decision of the Conference. Those who
persist in defying its edict can, OF course. be dubbed
hto submission; and knowledge of this very fact will
scbably make the clubbing unnecessary.

SHOULD BE

The Lower House Of THE Legislature has accepted
the report Of the Committee on Public Morals recon
mending the passage Of certain of the Wright amend
ments to the state prohibition law. While some Of the
most drastic of Brother Wrights notions as to .regula
ton were stricken out. there still remain those forbid
ding one to have liquor in his residence or to make wine
for the family use.
Under the operation of such a law as these amend
ments would impose. poor old grandma would become an
outlaw the moment she made UP a batch Of that most
unpalatable Of all concoctions euphoniously known as
"~dandelion wine" Moreover. the good old lady could not
only be pinched and fined for baking the stuff but could
be still further penalized for having it about the house.
The same condign fate could be visited upon those who
make e%lderberry wine, currant wine. blackberry cordial.
or any of those other beverages which housewives by the
thousand have been accustomed to put up each year for
sickness" and occasional delectation.
The proposal is about as wildly asinine as anything
that was ever advanced and its natural tendency ~ To
bring the whole prohibition law into disfavor, disrepute
and ridicule. It is carrying the crusade to an extreme
which arouses resentment and leads 10 a revulsion Of
public feeling.
This paper does not know Mr.. Wright and really
never heard of the gentleman before the present session.
but it very readily pereeiyes from his legislative offer
ings that he is either a very foolish good man or a very
slick bad one. He is doing the very thing the wise old
boys in the liquor business want done and in just the
sort of a way that would please them. He ought to be or
their pay roll.
This gentleman and those standing with him in his
fight are those who apparently are imbued with the idea
that we can't have too much OF a good thing. II one
tenth Of a grain OF s%trychnine may be of relief to a sick
man, they cannot see why a couple of grains would moi
make him entirely well and possibly restore his lost
youth-or manhood. There are fools Of that variety pref
ty generally scattered over the earth's surface and they
are the most pestiferous Of our mischief makers.
Personally the management of this paper is contem-
plating no deprivation. Il has no h%ankering for dande.
lion wine, e~lderberry wine, or even the good old home
made grape wine" Neither has blackberry cordial any
especial lure even during those periods for which some
regard il as a remedy OF God given efficacy.
But il is realized just the same that the people who
make this stuff do not abuse it. that they do not allow
others to abuse it, and would bitterly resent being
classed with bootleggers and blind tiger keepers as
Brother Wright and his fellow zealots would class them
The whole movement is a bit of arrant nonsense ana
IS sincerely 10 be hoped that the Legislature viii have
the GOOD sense 10 squelch it promptly and effectually.

becomes a veritable boomerang-Fort WAYNE News.
