Carraway, has Just received from the Church Build ing Society, New York, notice that -1!t hundred dollars will be donated the Episcopal church for their new Parish House, conditional on $2,000 lieing raised locally by the 20th Inst, The American Issue. On October 27, the day before would have become effective without his signature, the President vetoed the dry enforcement code. The report of his action was the most joyous news received in months by the liquor men and a signal for the immediate tilting of the lid in practically all of the larger formerly wet cities. The booze men's joy waa short lived, however, for within three hours after the president disapproved the House had repassed the code by vote of 176 to 56. This established record for quick action by Congress in overriding a presidential veto. When the House action was flashed over the wires reports from the cities where the wets were celebrating in dicate that joy was instantly turned to gloom and bartenders immediately became more wary in their sales of the hard stuff. It was practically con ceded that the Senate would follow the House in overriding the veto inasmuch as it was generally known that the Sen ate is overwhelmingly dry. No great surprise was occasioned, therefore, when, on the following day, October 28, the Senate by a vote of 65 to 20 overrode the veto and the code became effective on the very day it would have become ineffective had the President let it became a law without his sig nature. The code was technically laid be fore President Wilson on the 18th of October. It was then put in the hands of Attorney General Palmer, who studied it with a view to deter mining its constitutionality. Evident ly the Attorney General found it good in every particular, as President Wil son in returning the measure to the House did not raise this question. President Objects to War Act. His objection to it was that it pro vided for the enforcement of war-time Prohibition as well as the enforce ment of constitutional Prohibition, he holding that the emergency existing when the war act was passed by Con gress no longer existed. The Presi dent's position is considered by many to be somewhat remarkable in view of the fact that his signature is at tached to the war-time Prohibition act and the terms of the act are specific as to the period it is to be in force. These terms specify that it is to apply for the duration of the war and until the termination of demobilization, the date of which is to be proclaimed by the President. Ban to Lift With German Peace Rat ification. Just before the Senate finally clinch ed the enactment of the code there came from the White House the an nouncement that the war-time law would be annulled the moment the Senate finally ratified the German treaty. Dry leaders raise the point that this can not "be legally ac complished until the peace treaty with Austria is also ratified. They hold that this country will still be in a state of war with Austria. Close on the action of the Senate the brewers served notice that they would immediately file a suit to test the constitutionality of the code, add ing, however, that they would abide by the terms of the law until they secured a court ruling.. - House Leaders Helpless. The President's veto hit the House like a crack of thunder. Members deserted the leaders who wanted to defer consideration until Thursday so tb round tP all the dry members. Drya swept into the chamber and showed there was an overwhelming sentiment among them to give the goverment the necessary weapons to enforce the war dry act. which has beea flagrantly violated in the larger JUST A FEW OF MY FRIENDS. IHaWajj I (By Jesse Daniel Boone) i 1 LflKVSKlBm There is a young lad named DeVere, Who went to the west, far from here. His mother destested; His father protested; But now they both think him a Dear. There is a fine singer called Stentz, Who made no excuse nor defense ; When they asked him to sing He'd just let it ring; And that's what I call common sense. There is a surveyor named Bob, Who never did a bum job. He makes little rumpus With his glasses and compass, And he's pleasing the- land-owning mob. I know a young lady, Miss B., Who lives between mountains and sea. She edits a paper And cuts quite a caper; And she is some wonder to me. I know a young fellow named "France," Who watched for an opportune chance. He's now in Atlanta, And going a canter That's fast as a wild Dervish dance. I claim as a friend, a Judge Frank, Who now is part "reb" and part "yank ;" But he's A-No.-One On the bench or with gun, And his check is quite good at the bank. Another good friend is a Jew, Who pays all his bills when they're due. He's a good advertiser, And certainly wiser Than most of the vast selling crew. I know a young Miss we call Anna, . Who wins all the folks by her manner. ' ' She speaks and she smiles, And thus she beguiles, And enlists everyone 'neath her banner. . My pastor's a comfort i;o me; And his name stats out with A. V. He's God's man, I think And bids all to drink Of the life-giving waters, so free. But if business drags and 'pickens are slim I hunt Captain H. or Jonathan Jim And tell them my troubles, And then like soap bubbles, They vanish and I have some vim. I also know two little kiddies Who are cute as two chicken biddies. To make it more plain, They're Ruth and Olivejane ; And they often give grandpa the "giddies."

The wrangle began again when Represen tative Walsh, Republican, of Massa chusetts, moved to table the Volstead motion. Most of the members did not seem to know what this meant, but it was evident that Mr. Walsh was try ing to force an immediate vote. Chair man Volstead asked unanimous eon sent, to withdraw his motion, which was granted. There were many mo tions after that and a number of roll calls, until the final vote was taken at 7 -o'clock. Just three hours after the President's message was read.
