Yesterday afternoon by a vote OF
more lhgn three TO one the Senate con-
CURED with the House I'm overriding
the Presidential veto. The Nolslead
bill is thus enacted in disregard Of the
perfectly sound and valid objection
presented IN Mr.. Wilson's message.
Whether the result Of this eXtraor-
binary legislation In advance Of the
life Of the constitutional amendment
is TO make the country bone dry for
the eighty days or so before January
i6 depends on two things First, the
possible action OF the Supreme Court
as 10 the constitutionallty OF this part
OF the Nolstead law, and. secondly, the
vigor Of the Executives enforcement
OF a measure which the President has
denounced and dlscredited. As TO the
FIRST consideration. the time is too
short for much chance of interference
by the Judiciary. As TO the second, it
is scarcely conceivable that the Presi-
dent. in the absence OF directions from
the Supreme Court, will attempt by
languid action TO nullify what is clearly
The law Of the land, good law or bad.
So our best guess is that between now
and the middle Of January there will
not be much OF an open season. We
must wait and see Meanwhile every
body may be happy, OF at least every
body can try to be happy.
The ingenuity Of the veto message
Is typical. The President puts again
upon Congress whatever onus there
may be for the strict enforcement Of
the war time prohibition act, for whose
origin the Administration was respon-
slble. Tie has declined TO end war time
prohibition by a proclamation, for the
act is effective until the conclusion
of the present war as well as until
the termination of mobilization

When Will The War End?
lFrom the New York Tribune.l

When will the war end? That is a
conundrum 20 which many confusing
answers are being given in Washington.
The war prohibition provisions Of the
agricultural bin OF 1918 We're TO remain
in effect until the termination Of the war
and the completion Of rehabilitation
Congress thought that rehabilitation
would not be effected until after peace
was made-a natural supposition. But
France, Great Britain and the United
States dsbanded their armies without
waiting for formal peace.
In his message yet0ing the NOlstcad
enforcement bill President Wilson said
that its objects were satisfied in the
demobilization OF the army and navy"
He is opposed. therefore, 10 conceding
that the wartime prohibition provisions
are still applicable and TO passing legis-
laiiOn 10 enforce them. Yet the Ad-
mlnistration has failed so far TO issue
a proclamation declaring the state Of
war with Germany or with Austria
hungary ended.
Furthermore. in his statement re-
garding the coal strike, issued last
saturday. the President reminded the
fOnicnters Of the strike that they had
signed an agreement which was TO hold
during The continuance of the war. ="
though not beyond April !. 1920. He
said further that the war itself Is still
a fact" Plainly. then. the objects Of
the contract, which was made with the
concurrence Of The Federal Fuel Admin
islralion, were not satisfied by demob-
ilization.

patches from Washington, II was said

President would issue a proclamation
declaring the war ended Immediately
after the senate ratifles the German
peace treaty" The senate, technically
speaking. doesn't ratify q treaty. II
advises and consents TO ratification by
the President Peace with Germany
cannot come automatically the moment
the Senate votes to advise and consent.
The President has several times sug-
gested that he might consider advice
and consent with reservations, as
equivalent TO rejection. Under the terms
of the treaty It cannot become eff
fective between Germany and the
United States until our ratification is
deposited in Paris.
There are other complications. We
declared war on Austria-iungary. Our
peace delegates at Paris have signed
a treaty with Austria. But no treaty
has been concluded with Hungary. How
can be return TO a peace status until
we make peace with Hungary?
Our delegates at Paris have taken
part in the negotiations OF a peace
treaty with Bulgaria. although we were
never at war with that power. Must
our imaginary war with Bulgaria also
be ended before legislation conditioned
on the existence Of a state OF war
ceases 10 be operative? our delegates
are also going TO make peace with
Turkey. Does that action presuppose
another real or fictitious condition Of

soon the restrictions Of legislation im-
posed for the duration Of the war can

Congress Eagerly Takes fhe
Resuons biiify Shed by the President
From the Ne W York SUM-

gress for not repeating the law.
But Is President justified in at
tempting TO withhold the enforcement
of law merely because he believes 1t
should be repealed? On this point the
dexterily Of Mr.. Wilson's pen is useful.
Il enables him 10 divert attention from
the bald question and 10 insist that war
time prohibition and prohibition by
amendment Of the Constitution should
not be coupled
ut will not be difflcult for Con-
gress, In considering this important
matter. to separate these two ques-
tions and effectively to legislate re-
garding them, making the proper
distinction between temporary
causes which arose out Of war time
emergencies and those like the con-
stitutional amendment Of prOhibi-
tion, which Is now part OF the
fundamental law OF the country
This is perfectly clear. The Presi-
dent made il plain that. for good or
IN. Congress keeps the lid on at a time
when the law, which was wOrded by
somebody who never dreamed that de.
mobilization might precede "the con-
clusion of the present war" did not
contemplate the need Of prohibition.
This may satisfy the Vets in their at
titude toward Mr. Wilson. As for pro-
hibitiOn by amendment OF the Consti-
ttion, none can say that the President
had anything to do with il, one way
or the other.
The House, while undoubtedly rejOic-
ing at this documentary evidence OF
the Presidents dialectic activity. show
ed no hestancy in passing the bill over
Mr.. Wilson's veto. The Senate followed
with the same manifestation Of un-
qualified willingness. Congress evi-
IDENTIFY is glad to take the responsibility
for keeping the law Of November 81,
1918. on the books and adding teeth to
it. With the sixteenth Of January in
mind the Congress quotes to the weak

MYSTIC SHRINE AND

"BILLY FLORENCE.
I From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
To the Editor Of The Bulletin.
Sir: Win you inform me who was the
one who originated the order Of the
Mystic Shriners? Did not the Shriners
in a body escort the body OF William
J. Florence, the actor, who died at the
Continental Hotel. Wasn't Florence
considered a great comedian?
C.. l.. c.
Your questions involve a bit OF inter-
esting history which has not been told,
at least in print, for many years. VIII
liam ]. Florence, universally known as
billy" was one of the foremost COM
edians OF his time, and one Of the few
known to theatre patrons OF a genera
tion ago as "Of the old school," Of
whom there are now none remaining.
He was also a great practical joker.
once. when travelling in Arabia, he
found that the authorities were help
less TO bring criminals TO justice. and
for the purpose OF enforcing a SEM
blance OF law and order. secret society
had been formed. Florence was so
much impressed by this that he was
Initiated into il.
Returning TO the United states. he
told Of his experiences TO a few con-
genial souls, among whom were VIII
liam 5. Patterson and DR.. Walter NJ.
Fleming. Of New York All three were
thirty-third degree Masons. one Of the
group suggested that a new secret So
ciety be organized on the lines OF the
original in Arabia. although instead Of
having a serious purpose, its chief OBJ
iect was TO be genial companionslip
and a god time. So the society was or
ganized under the imposing title OF the
Ancient Arabic order, Mobiles OF the
Mystic Shrine, and Mecca Temple was
established in New York. Fourteen
other temples were organized before the
Shrine reached Philadelphia, then Lu
Lu Temple was instituted December 81,
1888. This temple now has more than
10000 members. Membership in the
shrine was limited TO Masons Of the
Scottish Rite or Knight Templar de
