(Atanta Constitution)
 Great Britain has completed ratification of the treaty and league of nations covenant.
 France has done the same thing.
 So has Italy,
 One after another other nations directly concerned will ratfy the treaty but regardless of the others sealed and delivered the compact, which that the peace treaty and the league of nations pro mulgated Versailles is accomplished fact, for the document becomes effective upon its rtifcation by three of the big four allied parties to the peace conference.
 The United States of America should have been one of the first three to sign but thus far petty political and personal spite has kept out of it.
 This country is in the attitude of saying to its former allies that what good enough to fight iorto sacrifice thousands of valuable lives and bill lions of treasure foris not good enough of suf- ficent importance to hold in line with allies until we the thing through!

Enforcing Dry Laws
(Springfield Republican, ]

Springfield Republican,
 The prOhibitfonst leaders at Washington in vting trouble if, in combination with the cheaper politicians in Congsess they persist in the effort exempt from the regulations of the Civil Service act the field agents and inspectors to be appointed to enforce prohibition. Such exemption would tend to discredit the Internal Revenue Service and to weaken the Government in the eyes of the public One the one hand would be the danger that political appOintees would connive at infractions of the law and upon the other hand that the law might be made to serve cloak for blackmail It is part of the history of the Internal Revenue Service that more money was collected at less expense when certain collectors placed under Civil Service than was the case under the patronage system. One of the arguments of prohibition has been the desrability of getting the liquor interests out of politics It is also desirable that there should be politics in en- forcing the prohibition law but that 1t should bh administered fairly and equitaby by field force free from political influence. allB0 HE

COURT HAS BIG CALENDAR
Fall Term of Circuit Tribunal at Mil
waukee Opens With Divorce Cases
Leading the List-Many Ap-
pIications From Yanks.

Milwaukee, Oct. 7.-When the cir
cult judges of Milwaukee resumed
their sessions on Monday they faced
the heaviest court calendar in the his
tory of Milwaukee county. One OF the
reasons given for the heavy calendar
is the termination of the war and the
rapid return of Milwaukeeans to peace
activities. Hundreds of MilWaukeeans
who battled on the firing line are pre-
pared again to ensue in a struggle,
only this time Sit will be in court
room. Under the soldiers and sailors
relief act men in military service were
not required to appear in court, and
because of this hundreds Of cases set
for trial at the beginning of the war
were adjourned. These cases compose
heavy part of the fall calendar. Di-
vorces, as in the past, form the heav1-
est part Of the cases. Where there
were approximately 800 cases on the
past calendar there are more than l.
200 divorces listed at present. More
than one hundred of the divorce appli-
cations are from parties married short
ly before or during the war. Many
men in their complaints allege that
their wives proved untrue while they
were on the battlefield, while many OF
the women claim their husbands have
failed to support them since they re
turned from service.
