Washington, May 27.-The Re . publican peace resolution was vetoed to-day hy President Wilson. Such a method of making peace ? with Germany, the President said, 1 would "place an ineffaceable stain . upon the gallantry and honor of the " United States." 1 Without announcing his intention regarding the treaty of Versailles tho Presiden) declared that Hie trea 1 j ty embodied the important things 'omitted hy the resolution, and said that by rejecting the treaty the Uni ted Slates had declared in effect that it wished "lo draw apart and pursue objects and interests of our own." Tho Message. The President's message follows: "To the House of Representatives: 'I return herewilh, without my signature, House Joint Resolution :t27, intended to repeal the joint res olution of April ti, lill 7. declaring a state of war to exist between tho United States and Germany, and the Joint resolution of December 7, 1917, declaring a state of war to exist be tween the United States and the Aus tro-IIungarlan government, and to declare a state of peace. "1 have not felt at liberty to sign this joint resolution because I can not bring myself to become a party to an action which would place an Ineffaceable slain upon the gallantry and honor of the United States. The resolution socks to establish peace with the German empire without ex acting from the German government any action by way of setting right tho Infintie wrongs which it did to the pooples whom lt attacked, and whom we professed it our purpose to assist when we entered the war. Have wo sacrificed the lives of more than 1 00,000 Americans and ruined the lives of thousands of others and brought upon thousands of Ameri can families an unhappiness that can never end. for purposes which we do not now care to state or take further steps to attain? The attainment of iheso purposes is provided for in the treaty of Versailles by terms deemed adequate by the leading statesmen and experts of all the great peoples who wero associated in thc- war against Germany. Do we now not care to join in the effort to secure them ? "'We entered tho war most reluct antly, Our people were profoundly j disinclined to take part in a Euro I pean war, and at last did so only j because they became convinced that it could not in truth be regarded as only a European war, but must be regarded as a war in which civiliza tion itself was Involved and human rights of every kind as against a belligerent government. Moreover, when wo entered the war we set forth very definitely the purpose for which we entered, partly because we did not wish to be considered a morely taking part in a Europea contest. "This joint, resolution which I n turn does not seek to accomplish ar of these objects, bat in effect imrk< a complete surrender of the rights of the United States so far as the German government is concerned. A treaty of peace was signed,, at Ver sailles on the twenty-eighth of .lune last which did seek lo accomplish the objects which we had declared to bo In our minds, because all the great governments and peoples which united against Germany had adopted our declarations of purpose as their own and had in solemn form em bodied them in communications lo the German government preliminary to the armistice of November 11, ISIS. Mut the treaty as signed at Versailles has been rejected by the Senate of the United States, though it has been ratified by Germany. Ry that rejection, and by its methods, we have in effect declared that we wish to draw apart and pursue ob jects and interests of our own. un hampered by thc connections of in terests or of purpose with other gov ernments and peoples. "Notwithstanding tho fact that upon our entrance into tho war we professed to be seeking to assist in the maintenance of common inter ests, nothing is said in this resolu tion about Hie freedom of navigation upon the seas, or the reduction of armaments, or the vindication of the rights of Belgium, or the rectifica tion of wrongs done to France, or tho release of the Christian popula tions of the Ottoman empire from tho Intolerable subjugation which they have bad for so many genera tions to endure, or tho establishment of an independent Polish stale, or tho Continued maintenance of any kind of understanding among the great powers of the world which would be calculated to prevent In tho future such outrages as Germany attempted, and in part consummat ed. "Wo have now in effect declared Hint wo do not care to lake any fur ther risks or to assume any further responsibilities with regard to the freedom of the nations or the sa credness of international obliga tions, or the safety ol' independent peoples, sucli a pence with Germany 0 pefice in which none of Hie es sential interests which we bad at heart when we entered the war is safeguarded-is, or ought lo ho, in conceivable, is inconsistent with the dignity of the United States, with tho rights and liberties of ber citi zens, and with the very freedom con ditions of civilization. "I hope that in these statements I have sufficiently set forth the rea sons why I have felt it incumbent upon me to withhold my signature. "Woodrow Wilson." "White 'louse, May 27, 1920."

Austin, Texas, May 27.-Warning thai Texas will face "a country-wide quarantine" if the State attempts "half-way measures" in dealing with tho pink boll worm pest was served on tlie Legislature to-day by Secre tary Meredith, of the Department of Agriculture, in a letter read in the opening of a special session called to ratify a recent agreement between the national government and Texas and Louisiana representatives. Immediate needs. Mr. Meredith said in his letter to Governor Hobby, after expressing regret that he could not address the session in porson, was the declaration of "non-cotton /.ones for-the infested area of Texas I and the plowing up of holds already j planted in such areas." "It should be borne in mind that! as the quarantine lias already been | taken by several other States, the! modification or abandonment of, which, I understand, is contingent upon action Kken by Texas io carry out the program outlined, would ro sult in effect in a country-wide quar antine of Texas, entirely independent of any Federal action.

Barbed Wire Fent e Doesn't Keep tho Mexican Liquor Out. (Popular Mechanics Magazine.) Prohibition is the least of the wor ries of Americans living along the Mexican border. An American has but to sally up to one of tho fences thal separate the United States and Mexico. The ?OV-| eminent has erected heavy barbed wire structures on the line at all the ports of entry, but they do not com-] pletely close the border by any man ner of means. A Mexican on the! lookout for this kind of business pro duces the desired bottle, holds it close to the fence and hands the American a straw. The straw is again passed through the fence, but j this time the end that is in Mexico I goes into the neck of the bottle and I the end that is in the United States ' goes into the American's mouth. The ! rules of the game are that the Amer ican exhales before going Into ac tion, then he shuts his eyes and sucks as much liquor as he is able to swallow without taking another breath. For sanitary reasons many Americans carry their own rubber tubes for this form of prohibition dodging, but the Mexicans limit the size that may be used to one-eighth of an inch interior damcter. --*.>.> A Dig Tire Contract. Probably (he biggest Uro contract ever awarded in the State of North Dakota \v;is recently given to Ibo Fisk (lubber Co., of Chicopee Falls, Mass. The contract was awarded through the Massachusetts Compa ny's Bismarck llrnnch by tho State highway commission, and it called for equipment for SOO military trucks and 50 louring cars, which tho commission has borrowed for rood work in the state, A few of tho trucks, (he majority of which are of tho four-wheel drive type, and which range from one and a half lo five-ton capacities, will bo equipped with solid tires, but a considerable number will bo mounted on heavy pneumatics. These trucks are distributed by districts and are used for hauling materials, patrol work mid upkeep. They enter into the maintenance of tho roads already constructed, each of the larger trucks being capable, of keeping in good condition a size able stretch of highway. Fisk tires were chosen because of tho wonderful results being obtained all over the United States by tho well-known Fisk truck tires. We generally think of tho wooden shoes as being typical of Holland, but shoes with wooden soles aro very common in Spain. ELLISON SMITH WINS HONOR. University Freshman Takes TAMKI in Literary Society Contest. Tho Courier is in receipt of the following account of tho recent ora tors' contest at the University of South Carolina, in which very high praise is bestowed upon one of our Oconee young men: "The regular annual orator's con test of the Clarlosophic Literary So ciety, at the University of South Carolina, was held in the society hall on Saturday night, May 22d.
