INVITED TO DIVORCE TRIAL

Berlin, June S.--The German press
and public usually show little interest
in divorce trials and a Berlin judge
therefore was surprised to find his
courtroom packed with visitors. Coun-
sci for the defendant wife requested
exclusion of the spectators. whereupon
it was revealed that her spouse, the
plaintiff, had sent out 100 formal In
vitations printed on gold bordered
cards which read:
IT have the honor to invite you to
attend my divorce before the civil
court and to listen in on the failings
of my wife"
Immediately upon this disclosure
the Judge cleared the courtroom and
five minutes later sent the marital
litigants on their respective ways, di-
Norced.

NO WET PLATFORM
FOR EITHER PARTY
Georgia Political Leaders Belief
That Prohi Sentiment Will
Continue to Rule In Nation
al Conventions

ATLANTA, Ga, July 19-The idea
that is being earnestly fostered bv in
terested parties in some quarters that
the vets will control the national con
ventions of both parties is not impress
slve to observers of national sentiment
in Atlanta who have discussed the sub
ject i'll hotel Hobbies and capitol cor
ridors
AS pointed out here, this is exactly
the same kind of talk that was heard
this far in advance of the San Fran
CISCO convention of the Democratic
party in 1920 The forecast was
made that the wet sentiment was so
stron that booze plank was sure
to go into this platform. The result
was that the liquor interests were de-
feated decisively lin the resolutions
committee and when they carried the
fight to the floor the defeat was even
more so.
There is no reason to believe. &C
cordlpg to Georgia democrats, the re-
suit will be different if the effort is
made next year The Democratic par
ty, as leaders here assert is not a
wet party, not a liquor party, They
say it is expressive of the sentiment
OF the nation and the sentiment is dry.
Georgia prohibitionists point out
that in the metropolitan centers, es-
peclally in the East, where there are
congeries of large racial groups. wet
sentiment is prevalent, but in the small
er cities and in the great open stretch
es OF the country, the people have not
changed their attitude on prohibition
and more important, they are for law
enforcement.
The prediction, say Georgia prohi-
bitionsts that the wet issue will be
dominant in the next presidential cam
palgn is father to the thought of those
who make it. An effort to make it
such doubtless will be made. If was
made in 1920 with failure as its re-
ward. And failure, it is pointed out
here, will follow the effort next wear.

PARLOR BOLSHEVIKS

We are perfectly willing to de-
nOunce In unmeasured terms the
man who manufactures the bomb,
who occupies the soap box. and who
breathes out his anathemas against
the government. We don't seem to
understand that those characters are
the effects of q cause and of q CON
dition.
The colleges that teach COLLECTIVE
lam, socialism, syndicalism, which
are ali synonymous terms, are the
producers of the bomb maker and
the red mouth, soap box agitator.
Respectable people who open theiR
parlors to the agents Of Russia are
the creators Of the bolshevism that
is moving In the highest circles.
There are many rich, fashionable
women In the different cities of the
country who throw open the doors
Of their palatial homes for drawing
room meetings at which there are
addresses given by designing
agents. Such women encourage law
ie3sness. They are laying the foun-
dations for attacks on this govern
ment. They are enemies Of the gov
ernment, and their parlOrs are the
halls of conspiracy against right
eousness and representative govern
ment. The parlor bolshevik Is an
other name for Satan.
Some Of the rich who have come
into their possessions and whose i'm
tellectual ability and moral stamina
and constitutional morality have not
advanced with the same degree with
which their riches have increased
are the easy prey Of the enemies Of
the government who enter their par.
