town is quiet The company made
no effort whatever to operate cars TO-
day, though it had been promised po-
lice protection both in the city and

An unexpected development in the
situation today was the resignation

been in the service fer many years.

Hayes had been assigned to go. on
one Of the cars to be operated By the

Effort to Sidestep Question of
Veto
PARTISAN FIGHT (
NJ HOUSE
Most Hotly Contested Parlia-
mentary Mixup in Years Re-
suits in House Discussion

Washington, July 13.-Consldera-
ton in the house today Of the sundry
civil appropriation bill as remodeled
to meet the objections raised by the
president in vetoting it preclpitated a
partisan battle which finally prevent
ed further progress on the measure
and ended only when the Republicans
forced through q, motion to adjourn.
Leaders on both sides admitted 1t was
the most bitterly contested parlIa-
mentary mixup in years.
The discussion began when the
rules committee brought in q special
rule for the immediate consideration
Of the appropriation measure changed :
to provide s12,000,000 for the rehabi-
litation of wounded soldiers and sail
ors, instead of s6,o00,000 as original
~ carried.
Democrats opposed the resolution
declaring that if it were adopted and
the sundry civil bill passed, it would
enable the Republicans to evade plac-
ing themselves on record as being OPP
posed to the presidents veto, and
therefore opposed to an increase IN
the appropriation for the vocatlonai
training board. They contended that
presidents veto, according to the
constitution, would have to be re-,
iecred or accepted by record yoie:s
Republicans argued however, that
such course was backed by prace-
| dent and would expedite action oa the
| measure. Speaker Gillett everruled
a point of order raised by Minority
Leader Champ Clark and the rese7a-
! ton was adopted by substantial ma
jority. - So
Debate on the appropriation bill IT
self resulted By attempts of Democrats
and Representative Madden, RepubH-
can, Illinois, to increase the vocational
training appropriation Thsasnd-
lments were opposed by Gam
Good of the appropriations commit
| tee.
The first amendment to be voted on,
increasing the amount to s18,c90,9e0
was supported by practically every
Democrat and several Republicans and
it passed, 120 to 119. Later votes,
however, reversed the result. Nearly
every Republican who had voted for
the increase changed sides as other
amendments were brought up and they
were defeated by increasing najorities
( the votes being almost entirely along
barty lines.
Efforts of Democrats to send the
bill backco, -coInmi5.ee~ with instruc-
tons to increase the amount resulted
in increased confusion at the compile
ton of the reading Of the bill for
amendment A complicated par1ia-
mentary tangle resulted in which
storms of protests arose from one
side or the other. and members be-
sieged the speaker with points OF
order and parliamentary inquiries.
Democrats made it plan that what
they desired was that the majority
party should go on record as opposing
an increase in the appropriation and
when Mr. Good, by mistake, made q
motion which apparently made this
possible. they were insistent that a
roll call should be taken. Before q
decision on the matter was reached.
a motion to adjourn was made and
passed 1913 to 100, the vote being,
strictly along party lines. Republi-
can leaders tonight were confident
that final vote would be taken to-
morrow on the measure.

Little change in the cotton crop

ed JUL 10, sent in by correspondents
of The Commercial Appeal, the COM
parison being made with the end
June period.
Temperatures and weather con-
ditions generally have been mostly
favorable during the past three
weeks. Good progress has been made
in killing grass, but stands have been
somewhat broken in the process.
Backsets, due to other causes, have
about, cr little more han, offset
the advantage gained BY cleaner
fields. Boil weevil is very numerous,
active and becoming more destructive
as the plant begins to show squares.
Compared with our estimate rs
of June 90, which placed the condi-
ton as Of that date at 1872 per cent
of normal, we now believe that a
condition as of July 10 would DE some
thing between - and IS per cent of
normal. Definite figures will be
issued by US on July %, as f July
90.
The crop seems to be in good shape
for rapid Improvement from this
time forward, which It must do with

Creates apprehension.
Arkansas, North and South Car
olina, Tennessee and Oklahoma, 1t Is
indicated, have made distinct I'M
provement during the past three
weeks. Louisiana has gone back
woefully, and Alabama has deterlor-
ated very slightly. Georgia, Missis-
sippi and Texas are about unchanged
as to the general condition as COM
pared with a normal.
Large areas in Texas are still in
the grass. and others in the same
State are just getting out. Louisiana
is grass-ridden and Arkansas not
much better Off Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi. Tennessee and Oklahoma
have had about equal success in hight
ing grass, but the work is far fcon
done The Carolinas are clean.
Boil weevil has appeared in all
States excepting North Carolina and
Tennessee, and has become numerous
and active everywhere found exceH--
ing in South Carolina, where the visi-
tation seems to be confined to one
county, and in Oklahoma.
This report is based upon reports
from 7S2 counties in the 10 principal
cotton growing States These reports
make out that boil weevil has ap-
peared in $50 counties, and that IN
the remaining 393 counties has not
been found. Of the $50 counties IN
which boil wcevil has been found ii
report no damage, 1S7 little damage
27 moderate damage, 81 considerable
damage, and 81 serious to great dam

A total OF 3sS counties report clean

Flint he would deceive those who relied
upon his assertions because, being consti-
tutionally unable to see more than one
side of the shield, he would himself be
deceived.
The world is full of people whose cos
mos contains no grays whatever; every
thing to them is either pure white or
solid black. 1t is people of such single
ness of vision who move mountains and
put through prohibition laws, among
other things. One must derive much hap
piness, or at least great dissatisfaction,
from this ability to classify everything
and everybody as either sheep or coats.
But those who have travelled both up
and down the road of life, and so have
learned that the Sign of the Pig and
Whistle has a reverse that is not at all
like the diverse, are seldom concerned
with pointing out the discrepancy to their
fellow travellers. To do so would be to
take half the humOr out of the human
comedy. 1t is so much more fun to
watch the other fellow get fooled, just as

you were once fooled yourself. BY and
large it's better for the other fellow
who wouldn't believe you, anyway.
The truth about alcohol is the truth
about everything else; neither those who
see it as all black, like the prohibitionists,
nor those who can discern no speck TO
mar its glittering whiteness, like the. au-
thor of this book, can by any means be
right. The only persons qualified to
write the whole truth about alcohol are
neither the moderate drinkers nor the
total abstainers, but those who have
travelled the whole road and (at least Oc-
casionally) have beaten back far enough
to see the other side of the shield. AS a
polemic against prohibition, Mr.. Flints
book lacks the moderation essential to the
making of converts, and with Federal
prohibition an accomplished and consti-
tutional fact the volume lacks even the
element of timeliness

6(VTT HAT model of condensation"

readers first thought as he notes the
modest size (277 pages of George Elliot
Flint's The Whole Truth About Alcohol.
To tell the whole truth about anything
in a single volume presupposes a genius
as the author To boil down all that has
been written about alcohol, Of which a
considerable modicum must be admitted
to be true, into PIT pages, would indeed
be a triumph of compression, and the re-
siduum worthy of preservation as a tech
meal achievement of rare sort.
Unfortunately, however, Mr.. Fhnt's
book is nothing like that. There is no
doubt that Omar told good deal of truth
about alcohol, and so did Father Ma
thew. Bobbie Burns may be regarded as
an authority, but so none the less was the
late John B. Cough. And surely none
in this generation will challenge the right
of Old Sam Blythe to speak with knowl-
edge whereof he discOurses when the
subject of his discourse is John Barley
corn.
One may learn a great deal of truth
about alcohol from Jack London's classic
confession; likewise from the OdeS of
one Q. Horatius Flaccus. One of the
best informed men on the subject of al
cohol ever knew is high official of the
Anti-Saloon League, yet we should be
highly suspicious of anything he put on
paper purporting to be the whole truth
about alcohol. He might be perfectly
honest, as we have no doubt Mr.. Flint is,
