LEAGUE OPPONENTS
READY FOR FIGHT

Definite announcement by Secre-
tary Tumulty, in New York. that
President Wilson would PRESENT. the
peace treaty to the Senate Thursday
acted as a spur today to leaders Of
the pro-league and anti-league
parties in the upper house. Although
the launching of the covenant cam
paign is still more than four days
distant, there was a noticeable hur-
rying of final plans for the tight for
and against the society OF nations
plan.
Senator Borah. one OF the chiefs
OF the anti-league forces. was pre-
pairing to intensity the assault by
issuing a statement against another
feature OF the peace settlement
the proposed treaty whereby. the
United States and Great Britain
pledge aid to France in event Of an
unprovoked German attack. Borah
opposes this on the ground that II
is really q treaty of war, but pre-
tends to be an agreement for pres
ervation of peace.
Senator Hitchcock, administration
spokesman, predicted the peace treaty
would remain before the Foreign Re-
Iations Committee for some time be-
fore ii actually goes before the SEN
ate.
b, President Wilson. upon arriving at
New York Notwithstanding to the
present outlook-will make his first
speech to. American auditors since
his Metropolitan Opera House address,
in which he said he wouldn't come
back until it was over over there" "
After this speech. in Carnegie Hall
Tuesday afternoon, he will start for
Washington.
Wednesday will probably be de-
voted to signing the many important
bills awaiting his signature, and in
putting the finishing touches on his
address to the Senate.
Shortly after the Senate address
he will start his nationwide tour in
behalf OF the league of nations.

P|NHOPESON
1856 RULING
r TO BEAT DRY
LAW NCOURT

When the whole prohibition issue,
involving both the Constitutions
amendment and the acts Of Congress,
come up before the United States
Supreme Court, the opponents Of ma
tional prohibition will base their at
tack largely on the text Of ie-
cision of the New York State court
Of appeals in 1856, in the Wyne-
hamer case.
In this case the justices Of the
New York court declared void and
unconstitutional q prohibition law
passed by the New York State iegis-
lature, which, according to. the
opponents Of prohibition, was very
similar in its provisions TO the eight
senth amendment to the Constitution
which goes into effect in January.
-. Many Cases DHc.
It Is recognized that the Supreme
Court when it convenes in October
viii have on its hands a series of
eases bearing on prohibition, and
that ii viii have to decide the issue.
Before il will come all the test eases

land case which legalized per cent
beer in the face Of national prohibi--
ton; the Ohio case where an cleo
ton on the wet and dry issue has
been directed, and the California
case of the grape growers raising
the Question OF conhscation Of prop
erty.
The Association Opposed to Nation
Al Prohibition says that il is certain
that the Wynehamer case will be cited
in the arguments against prohibition
before the Supreme Court. In this
case each justice rendered a separate
opinion, going fully into the merits
Of the issue. Five Of the six justices
took the ground that the, dry law was
Constitutional. --.s
According to review Of the
case the injustice ruled with prac-
tical unanimity that a distinction
ought to have been made between al
coholic beverages which were al
ready in possession of persons when
the law took effect and those which
might be manufactured after that
date.
Chief Justice Denis Of the Court
Of Appeals said in summing up the
Wynehaper case:

CONGRESS MAY KILL BEER
AND LIGHT WINES WHEN
ACTION IS. FORCED SOON

Prohibition enforcement legislation
will be the aIl-absorbing topic on
Capitol Hill this week until the Presi-
dent presents the peace treaty to the
Senate Thursday.
Whether Congress will deal beer
and wines a speedy knockout blow
depends largely on the action Of. the
House judiciary Committee tomor-
row. Should a separate enforcement
bill for wartime prohibition be re-
ported out, as many drys are urging
il would mean that the sale Of beer
and wines could be stopped within 3
short time, providing the President
does not veto the bill Leaders say
this bill could be passed in week.
No Law Before August IL.
Should the judiciary Committed
stand by its combined bill for both
wartime and constitutional prohibl'
lion previously reported out, it is
probable no prohibition legislation
could be in force before August J. be-
cause OF the long debate expected on
the drastic provisions OF the consti-
tutional enforcement section.

BOARD OF HEALTH WORK

AS mentioned before in the Star,
DR.. w. H. Cox, state health officer,
will meet with the city council tonight
to present to that body some health
measures which he hopes to inaugur.
ate both in Ocala and throughout
Marion county. Health is a commu-
nity's best asset and the spirit of the
age is the prevention of disease by
sanitation, and the use of those
scientific measures that have been
tried out and found efficacious.
We are glad to have DIR. Cox visit
our city and confer with the author
tiles upon these important subjects,
and bespeak for him the consideration
Ct our council and a thoughtful hear
ing along lines of public health.
DIR. Cox is certainly most active
ard practical in his endeavors to give
Florida IT'S chance to rank among the
first in matters pertaining to preven-
ton of disease. The Star wishes to
commend the method proposed of
bringing the men in authority in
+, ch with the people through clinics
held in the counties where all those
afflicted and not able to go even as
far as Jacksonville for diagnosis and
treatment can come in touch with
specialists from the board of health.
All this is free of cost to the af-
fiicted and is literally bringing the
state board of health to the people.

LET THERE BE LIGHT"

We noticed with much satisfaction
that the street lights were turned on
last evening, and Ocala looked more
like Ocala than Baldwin.
Let's have an end of that moon
light schedule nuisance. There are
about five nights in the month when
the moon is at its best when it can
halfway take the place of the lights.
Even thens not so well, if there are
clouds. Ocala is a town full of trees.
All the streets are shaded with them.
The moon at its best will not shine
thru them in many places. And in
many places the sidewalks are badly
broken. There are several decidedly
dangerous breaks and holes. If some
person sustains a fall at such a place,
and suffers injuries, he or she has
good grounds for suit against the
city.
Lightless lights and following the
moon were all right during war. Now
they are danger and darned nuis-
ance. Let's have an end to them.
