PROHIBITION
nov A FACT
Senator Sterling Of s. ID. InstruRcst.
nj In Passing Bill Over Presi-
dents Veto

Washington. d. c., Oct. 80. 1919
The enactment of the prohibition law
over the Presidents veto has upset any
possible plans Of the liquor interests
to continue to sell alcoholic liquors.
including beer containing not more
than 2.75 per cent of alcohol.
The Presidents veto came as q sur
prise to members of Congress It wac
generally supposed that the President
would not attempt to force his per-
scnal views in favor of the repeal Of
the wartime prohibition act in the
face of the well-known temper Of the
people in the matter. The Presidents
argument that rehabilitation Of the
army has been accomplished ssd
therefore there is nc need for prohi-
bition enforcement Is especially weak
at this time of widespread industrial
disturbances. 1t is acknowledged by
Law enforcement officers concerned
that II 1t were not for prohibition. the
strike situation would be much more
serious than 1t is. Up to this time the
strike areas have been comparatively
free from the riots usually accompany
ing strikes.
A number Of Democratic Senators
sought to secure the postponement of
q vote on the veto, but Senator Ster-
ling, who was in charge Of the bill,
refused to withdraw his motion and
the vote on the final motion stood So
to 20 in favor of OVERRIDING the Pres
ident's veto. The House had already
passed ii by a vote OF 175 to IS Sew
eral Senators who had heretofore OPP
posed prohibition. now voted for the
bill on the ground that nothing could
be more dangerous to our institutins
at this time than a failure to enforce
teh laws enacted By Congress. Sena-
tor Sterling has been highly compli-
mented on the way he conducted the
fight for prohibition in the Senate.
Senator Sterling has introduced q
bill, which has already been favorably
reported by the Judiciary Committee.

ton Of seditious literature and the use

Red Cross Membership
Drive Opened November z

The big nationwide membership
drive of the Red Cross opened Sunday
November Two, and will continue un.
til Armistice Day, November IL, when
it is hoped to have every man, woman
and child enrolled as a member of thu
Red Cross.
Last year, several people in town,
and some one in each township was
appointed to personally solicit men,
bership for the Red Cross. This year
however, a new mecnod was decided
on. Instead of personally soliciting
everyone, the chairman of the Red
Cross is sending out circular letters
to everyone in the county. asking for
the renewal Of their membership
There are no doubts but that this
membership drive will prove as c
cessful, if not more so, as previous
drives.

GOVT SEXES COAL
IN TRANSIT
Coal In Transit From Great Lakes
Docks May Be Delivered
To COnsignee

Word was received here last week
by local coal dealers hat because OF
the soft coal strike, all sole coal In
transit had beer confiscated by the
government.
Two carloads Of coal had been re-
ceived by the Farmers Equity-U Union
Elevator, but until orders were receiv-
ed. Manager Thomson. could not un-
load the coal. Saturday, however, or
ders were received to the effect that
all coal already shipped from the
docks at the Great Lakes, before Nov
ember first. were lot subject to sein
ure by the government, and could be
unloaded by the consignee. All coal,
however, coming from Wyoming and
Illinois, were still the property of the
government, until further orders.
Manager Thomson states that be-
sides the two carloads of coal which
he unloaded Saturday, another was
received Sunday. He also said that
he had about a half dozen carloads in
transit from the docks, which he
would be allowed to unload. AS long
as coal IAN be secured from this
source, although the supply may run
low. ii may not be quite depleted
Manager J C. Bang of the Light
Plant, said it might become ~necessar,
70 shut down power at the plant, un
less coal was received, as the supply
at the plant was running very low
the present supply being sufficient for
only about four days.
Officials of the country, however, ar
very hopeful that before very Iona,
matters will have been satisfactorily
settled, and the strikers will go back
to work.
Miller is perhaps, more fortunate
than many places, some cities not
having any coal at all.
