I House Bepasseg Dry Enforcement BN1 within Three Hours After President had Unexpectedly Vetoed It. IV. t Spell for Christmas Now Unlikely. 'Washington, Oct. 27.—^President Wilson unexpectedly vetoed the^rohi- bition enforcement bill today and within three hours the house repassecP it over his veto by a vote of 176 to 55. The total vote was barely more than rniaj6‘flTy p ''tlf~ Clie entire membwsbtpr Tfrg foMowtngig-tfae-fOBtep of-ea—» / ^ "\ ately began laying plans to repass the bill there. They expect to ask unani mous consent for its consideration to morrow, claiming enough votes to put it through. They expect to act on it by Wednesday at the latest. The president refused io sign the bill because it included the enforce ment of war time prohibition. The objects of war time prohibition, the President said in his veto, had been .satisfied, and “sound public pol- s icy makes clear the reason and neces sity for its repeal." It would not be deflcult, the Presi dent held, for congress to deal sep arately with the two issues. The veto hit congress unexpectedly. The house, getting on its feet again, deserted its leaders, who wanted to defer consideration until Thursday so as to round up all the dry members. But the drys swept into the chamber 'and showed there was overwhelming sentiment among them to give the government ample weapons for deal ing with the liquor traffic. , Nobody had really professed to know the President would veto the bill.. Republicans and Democrats alike, and the countless multitude that had sorrowfully watched the passing of the bars, thought it would become a law without his signature. . Attorney General Palmer, it was said, deelwcad it unconstitutional. But the President, propped up in bed, dictated and then signed a veto message and sent it along to con gress, without worrying, apparently, what congress might do. With repassage of the law by the house and the prospect of the same thing happening in the senate, hope of the big “wet" spell that would run over the Christmas season vanished. Prohibition leaders predicted refus al of the house to accept the Presi dent’s veto meant that the sale of li quor would not be permitted again in this and many other generations. The reasons for vetoing the act were set forth by the President in the fol ' lowing message to congress: To the House of Representatives: I am returning; without my signs ture, H. R. 6810, “An act to prohibit intoxicating beverages, and to regu late the manufacture, production, use ^and sale of high proof spirits for other than beverage purposes, and to insure an ample supply of alcohol and promote its use in scientific research and in the development of fuel, dye and other lawful industries." The subject matter treated in this measure deals with two distinct phases of the prohibition legislation. One part of the act under consideration seeks to enforce war time prohibition. The other provides for the enforce ment which was made necessary by the adoption of the constitutional amendment. I object to and cannot approve that part of this legislation with reference to war time prohibi tion. “It has to do with the enforcement of an act which was passed by reason of the emergencies of the war and whose objects have been satisfied in the demobilization of the army and navy and whose repeal I have already sought at the hands wpf congress. Where the purpose of particular legis lation arising out of war emergency have been satisfied, sound public pol icy makes clear the reason and neces sity for repeal. It will not be difficult for congress in considering this important matter to separate these two questions and effectively legislate regarding them; making the proper distinction between temporary causes which arose out of war time emergencies and those like the constitutional amendment of pro hibition which is now part of the fun damental laws of the country. In all matters having to do with the personal habits and customs of larg£ numbers of our people, we must be certain that the established pro- ot»sses\of legal change are followed; la m dtber way can the salutary ,ob- CONTENES MONDAY Only Equity Cases will be Heard First Week of Term.

When wool was 30 cents a pound, allowing four pounds for a suit of clothes, the farmer received, for the product $1.25. Figuring the cost of a suit of clothes at $20, 12 days’ labor at $1.50 paid for a suit. Today wool is 65 cents a pound, four pounds bring ing $2.60, the amount received by the farmer. The same suit of clothes is now $40, and the laborer can obtain a suit by eight days of labor at $5 a day. The eomirarison will hold with every farm product. In view of these facts, if agriculture is to be preserved and the world fed, an economic adjustment must he made. May we call the attention of the city dweller to two facts: The farmer does not have to strike; he can not he discharged. No farmer ever did strike. The statement that the Dairymen’s league went on a strike is not true. Not a man quit his job; every man milked his cow and the milk went into food as usual. No, we do not strike. We want to state here, in all fair ness, just what will be done if our president, with the cabinet cooperating with leaders of ^labor organizations, continues to tell us we are not of equal importance, but are to serve their pur poses: we will take a summer vacation (something we have never had) until the time when we can all come to gether and be fair to each other. We are asking for no favors. We will feed all but feel that we must be on the same level with others. May we begin now by a cost accounting of farm products and a wage scale for labor, the base of which shall be its earning potters? V Again Permitted*!© Transact Home Public Business. One of Best Nights Since Illness. Washington, Oct. 2^.-^President Wilson was permitted again today to transact some public business. After what his physicians described as one of the best nights he has had since his illness began, he signed the amend ments to the food controf act provid ing penalties for hoarding and proflt- ee r ing In food and clothing and three more measures of minor importance.

He was accompanied by Dr. H. A. Fowler. ■Doctors Young and Fowler, it was said tonight at the White House, were well satisfied with the prostatlc con dition of the president. Dr. Grayson supplemened his night bulletin with the information that the patient’s condition was as good as could be expected. The increased ac tivity of the president was not an in dication of any decided improvement in his condition, Dr. Grayson said, adding that It was thought that per- New Dining Room and Kit chen at Orphanage Thrown Open First Time on Friday.

FRENCH SPY PAYS PRICE FOR CHIME Pierre Lenoir Executed at Prison Yes terday Morning for Dealing with Enemy. Third Execution. Paris, Oct. 24.—Pierre Lenoir, con victed on a charge of having held In telligence with the enemy, was execut ed at Sante prison at 7 o'clock this morning. Lenoir, who had been ill for some time, suffering from paralysis of both' legs, had to be carried to the place of execution. His attorney, M. Mo- lene, asked early today that the pris oner be examined mentally and phys ically. “It is an impossible thing to execute a sick man,” the attorney claimed. The officials decided, however, to proceed with the execution regardless of this protest. Lenoir was able to sign the register of the prison, but was unable to take a step; The guards carried him out, his attorney crying, “It is a shame to carry a man in this way to his exe cution." Pieyre Lenoir was the third person to be executed on charges arising out of attempts made by German agents to conduct a “defeatist" campaign in France in 1915 and 1916. The others who met their death as a result of revelations made against them were Bolo Pasha, executed April 17, 1918, and M. Duval, who faced the firing squad July 17, 1918. Both were direc tors of the Germanophile newspaper Bonnet Rouge. Lenoir, who, as a young man, had led an idle and dissolute life, came into public notice early in 1918, when the arrest of Senator Humbert, owner of the Paris Journal, was followed by buikjmg by members of the senior class and matrons, after which re- freshments were served.
