CONGRESS OVERRIDES
PRESIDENTS VETO OF PROHIBITION
ENFORCEMENT BILL

President Wilson on October 27, unex-
pectedly vetoed the prohibition enforcement
bill. Within three hours, the House of Re-
presentatives had repassed it over his veto
by vote of 176 to S., this being more than
the two-thirds majority needed for pas
sage.
The following day, the Senate passed
the act over the Presidents veto, the vote
standing o5 to 20 = eight more than the
necessary two-thirds majority.
The President refused to sign the bill
because it included the enforcement of war
time prohibition. He held that it would be
difficult for Congress to deal separately with
the two issues. He did not oppose the
measure; on the contrary, he regarded it as
step toward a great reform, but urged
that in all matters having to do with
the personal habits and customs of large
numbers of Our people we must be certain
that the established processes of legal
change are followed" The House. how
ever declared that as Attorney General
Palmer had declared the measure constitu-
t1onal, this was sufficient
A Washington dispatch of October %
reads:
Before congress at 3 40 o'clock finally
cllnched enactment of the enforcement law.
despite presidential objection to linking
war time and constitution prohibition acts,
there came from the White House the an
nouncement that the war time law-which
was put into effect after the cessation of
hostilities - would be annulled the moment
the senate formally ratified the German
peace treaty.

A TRAVELLING SALESMAN'S
TESTIMONY
&C. B. W.

The following article, which appeared in
a trade magazine published by one of the
largest wholesale shoe concerns in America,
will be of interest to our readers:
cat one time a great many Zion pencils
manufactured in Zion City, Illinois, were
used in this office; so the following letter
from our salesman, Mr. J. A. Jackson, one
of The Best in the World boys in the
field, will be interesting:
"'I left this morning bright and early for
Zion City = city where lives religious
sect founded by John Alexander Dowie and
now headed by Wilbur Glenn Voliva 1t is
busy city, and as you pass through the
gates and enter into Zion you are con-
fronted with a sign that reads, "No Pro-
family, No Smoking, No Splitting" and not
a drug store in the city. They have de-
partment store there block long.
AS was selling their shoe buyer today,
the clock struck 9 and Immediately all work
was suspended and a minute was spent in
silent prayer. This occurs every day at 9
a. m. and p. m., and | was struck forcibly
by the solemnity of the occasion. The
thought occurred to me, what grand and
wonderful thing it was that, in this busy
city, all labor was suspended for that mo-
ment and each and every soul bowed their
heads and offered up their prayers to God.
Surely this should be lesson to us all and
speaks volumes for these wonderful peo-
pie, for their devotion, industry, clean1i-
ness and good habits"

Clean hands under all conditions of life
are greatly to be desired. This advice
should be followed by school children or
other persons carrying a noon lunch. Do
not let us get slack on the use of Individual
napkins, towels and drinking cups, but use
them wherever it is possible to do so in our
Institutions and Industries.
In relation to what the General Over
seer recently said concerning the fact that
chewing gum is mixed with dirt and poison
of different kinds, we might also add that
there is physiological reason why it
should not even be taken into the mouth
That is, that the saliva that is secreted by
the salivary glands is not only an important
factor in mastication but also in Digestion
Now with tobacco and gum chewers, these
glands practically are paralyzed and cease
to perform their natural function, and thus
the stomach is robbed of this necessary
secretion. Tobacco chewers usually have
poor indigestion and gum chewers must
suffer the same penalty.
The alleys in the rear of some homes are
kept clean and orderly but in some places
the backyards are quite unsanitary, being
filled with ashes, brush and Junk. It is the
business of the Health Department to see
that these backyards are sanitary also.

A Safety First" sign at the top of the
stalrWays in our homes, as we'll as in our
Institutions and Industries, might prevent
some accidents that take place. The same
sign posted near the seat of every automo-
bile driver would be sensible.

A further sugar famine would be good for
those who have weak stomachs and kidney
trouble.
An Ordinance was adopted at an ad-
Journed meeting of the city council last
Tuesday evening, for the opening of a
sewer on Twenty-ninth street, extending
east under the C. & N. w. Railway tracks
opening into the Twenty-ninth street
ditch.
From sanitary point of view, this is
very proper and necessary Improvement
as the septic tanks which have heretofore
been drained over Edna bluff will all be
detected into this main artery.
The Improvement also includes sewer sys-
TENS in the allies between Edna boulevard
and Elizabeth avenue, and between Eliza
beth and Elm avenues, both north and
south of Twenty-ninth street for two
blocks each way.
1t is proposed that much of the work be
done yet this year.

MARIETTA FIRMS PAID
FARMERS $4,000 IN A
SINGLE DAY FOR COTTON
Holding Cotton For 35c
Paid Farmers
Reeeipts Of Cotton From Farms 10
Almost Equal to Midseason Re-
cords and the Banks are All Busy
With Rush of Business.

For some weeks the price of cotton
has been advancing and having
reached a reasonable price the far
mers who were wise enough to hold
on to it are now selling.
We have known all along that
many farmers were holding it but it
was not until last Friday that we
realized the extent of their holdings.
On that date the local market was
above So cents, and the purchases
from wagons by four Marietta firms
was 399 bales for that day.
As the average price paid was
S175.0O per bale it will readily be
seen that on that day alone practi-
cally $4,000 was paid for cotton
in Marietta.
In a hurried inquiry We were not
able to get a fair estimate of the
sales for the past few weeks, but we
do know that great many thousands
of dollars have been paid to the far
mers of Cobb and nearby counties.

GERMAN ASSEMBLY
To RATIFY TREATY
Lloyd George Says That Kaiser VIII
Be Tried Before a London
Court of Justice

London, July 3.-The former Ger
man emperor will soon be placed on
trial, Premier Lloyd George, an
nounced in the house of commons to-
day in his report on the peace ne
gotiations.
The German army, the premier
said, was at present inadequate to
disturb the peace of the feeblest OF
the neighbors of Germany.
The premier declared that the tri-
bunal which would try the former
emperor would sit in London.
The terms of the treaty with Ger
many in some respects were terri
BILE, the premier said, but terrible
were the deeds which justified it and
still more terrible would have been
the consequences if Germany had
succeeded.
German officers who had committed
appalling infamies, the premier add
ed, would also be placed on trial.
Mr.. Lloyd George declared that
the British delegation has taken a
stand resolutely opposing any at
tempt to put a predominantly Ger
man population under Polish rule.
The German general assembly il
is said will ratify the peace treaty
on Saturday, a majority being al
ready pledged for this purpose.

WAR OFFICIALLY ENDED
AT 4P. M. SATURDAY
ON SIGNING OF TREATY
Chinese the Only Nation
Not Signing
Germans Still Hope They VIII Not
Be Required to Give up Kaiser
For Trial. After the Germans,
Wilson Signed, to be Followed by
England, France and Italy.

In the same room of the Palace of
Mirrors in Versailles, France, that
the Germans in 1871 dictated the
treaty terms of peace to the people
of France, another scene was enacted
on Saturday.
Instead of the mailed fist of the
German conqueror and war lord ar
rogantly pointing the delegates of a
bleeding France to the dotted line,
Clemenceau, the Tiger of France,
placed the treaty before the German
agents and said, II invite you to
sign,
And this time in the circle drawn
about the table were the represen-
tatives of those countries whose peo-
Piles had waged the battle for the
liberty of mankind and the rights of
every nation, be it great Or small
Of the greater nations of the earth
only China was unrepresented in the
circle, as the German signature was
affixed TO the promise of restitution.
The next to sign was Woodrow Will
son, followed by Lord George, then
France, Italy, Japan and the smaller
powers.
Following the signing Mr.. Wilson
declared that the treaty is q great
charter for the new order of affairs.
The German delegates later gave out
a press statement as follows:
I'VE are signing without mental
reservation. What we are signing
will be carried out. We believe the
entente will, in its own interest,
change some of the terms or they
will see that the treaty is impossible
of execution. We believe the entente
will not insist upon the delivery of
the kaiser and other high officers.
The central governments will not as
sist in an attack on Poland.
Germany will make every effort
20 prove herself worthy to enter the
league of nations"
The news of the signing of the
treaty was received by congress in
silence, no demonstration whatever
being made.
