 { Although debate was limited to five minutes for each member, it ran all the way from the old Fashioned attack on John Barleyoorn'' to poetry, with a few words of near profanity thrown in once by former Speaker Clark to put a little punch in a story he related to show the importance of trial by jury in injunc- ton cases It remained, however, for Representative Goodykoontz, republican. West Virginia to enlighten the House as to the extremes to which some mem bers of the judiciary committee wanted to go in reporting out bill. Mir. Goody- koontz is a member of the committee. and he started out by saving it was composed of three groups, each with different school of thoughts
 "One school, he said, wanted to draw the bill so carelessly that if it were en- acted into law it would carry no force and effect and would be innocuous. Another K school was so extreme that it wanted to E bind the whole thing up so as to put every man in manacles, so that he could E not move in any direction. The bill as brought to us carried provisions to the effect that it was unlawful to manufac- ture or sell grape juice or to manufacture K any of the malt drinks of which there are II hundreds sold under different names, \ and so that it would be illegal to man Bufacture or sell flayoring extracts. And one man, believe, suggested that we |put the preachers under bond for sacra- Hmental wine"

MOMENT OF POWER

For brief moment late in the day the minority, described by the prohibitionisus as the vets, swung into power, only to be thrown out by a demand for tell CTS, which meant an accurate count on a vote to amend the bill so that person charged with violating a liquor selling injunction might demand and obtain a trial by jury.
 This motion, offered by Representative | Gard, democrat, Ohio, and warmly sup- ported by former Speaker Clark had pro- voked all hours debate which was bitter at times. when the House put on the lid and started to vote. There was a noisy shout from the ayes, who appeared to have won. Instantly there was demand for division, and after members had been counted the result was announced ayes 70, nays 6S. The victory was not expected, even by the vets, and they re- alized they could not have won except for the large number of absentees on the other side. While the House was march ing through the center aisle to be counted after demand for tellers had been made, calls were sent out for prohibition members, who came piling in in sufficient numbers to beat the jury trial amend r1ent by two votes-7S to 76.

Washington, July 17.-Pro- hibition forces voted down in the House today every attempt to eliminate drastic provisions of the general enforcement bill, and while in full and absolute control shut off debate at le word of their leader, despite the violent protest of the mi nority.
 When they had raced through the war time enforcement portion of the three part bill and got into the constitutional prohibition measure proper, there were only S members the floor, and so much confusion that a speaker could not make himself heard. It was [ o'clock tonight when the long roll call to ob- Lain quorum was started, and members then haG gone home, after declaring there was no good reason for trying to fierce through d bill to take care of situation that would not arise until Jan uary 1.
 Before the House got into snarl, how ever, the prohibition faction had fought : off every attack on their bill An amend ment to strike out the minimum fine for those convicted of violating the war time act was fought over and defeated, 6S to 57 This was offered by Represen- tative Reavis, republican, Nebraska, prohibition member of the judiciary com- nlttee.
 Chairman Volstead of the judiciary committee and patron of the bill pre- sented an amendment which was adopted without debate, and which made the measure a bit more drastic in that it added the word manufacture" to the many things a man was not to do with licuor in his office or home

GOT NEW IDEA OF RELIGION
Colonel Roosevelt Admitted He Had
Taken to Heart the Simple Faith
Of the oouShboy.

Colonel Roosevelt was a deeply re-
ligious man. and one evening at Oyster
Bay he said to an editor:
How this world war has clarified
our ideas. 1t has clarified my own
ideas about religion.
Before the war ! was inclined to
agree with the philosopher who said !:
Religion Is the experience consti-
tuted by those thoughts, feelings and
actions which spring from mans sense
Of dependence upon power or powers
controlling the universe. and which
have as their center Of interest the
cosmlc fortune Of values
'But how different Ii the definition
Of religion that the doughboy has flung
u from the trenches. and how heartily
II our agreement when he says:
Religion is betting your life on the
existence Of God.'"
