War-tune prohibition is to he effective
and to be enforced until the President
proclaims the war ended, or demobiliza
tion of the Army completed, and It is
understood he will not do this until the
Senate 'ratifies the Peace Treaty. TWIh
is the status of the situation resulting
from both houses of Congress having
passed the war-time prohibition enforce
ment ImII over the President's veto.
Whether we are to have a brief "wet"
spoil before constitutional prohibition be
comes effective next January 1(1 and the
length of su<fli "wet" spell depends upon
when the Senate ratifies the Peace Treii
iy. The prospects are that upon the
ratification of the Peace Treaty the Pres
ident wiTI proclaim the war ended, which
automatically will end war-time prohi
bition. Hetween then and January 10
the country will be without national pro
liilwtion and the wet places will have
an opportunity to' "clean up," while the
thirsty ones in dry territory will take
advantage of the opportunity to "stock
up" for the long drought that will not
end until the Constitution is again
amended. ? Charlotte < >l?erver.

The consolidation of the "World's

<>ii *l'jnrt h** in one ciRus of colossal size,
(?institutes the amusement surprise of
I lie country. Nothing to approach this
iciganfic. new circus has ever before tour
ed America. It has been formed by merg
ins; the |?i<*k and the cream of all that
was biggest and best in the two famous
Shrew*. It would 1m* folly? to attempt
to enumerate; its many wonders. Some
Idea of the enormous scale upon which
features are presented may -be ftjM when
it is stated tbat a quarter of a million
pounds of elephants take, part in a sin
gle act: in othpr words? six times as
many of the big-eared giants than have
ever before been seen in one main-tent
exhibition. All else to be seen is in pro
portion. The arenic stars embrace all
the world's foremost circus performer^.
There are three hours of novelties and
C>
big seusatioual acts. The roenaferie;
far and away the most colossal en
traveled. Kor instance ? a herd of e^
giraffes are exhibited in place ot tk
two or three shown in the past. H
great tournament which opens the mta
tent program, is the most tiafnifiaa
thing in pageantry yet produced in At
erica. Hundreds nj?on hundreda o(
gpously costumed characters and bent
ful horses take part in it. The tnon
ing street parade is the longest aadnm
brilliant ever given anywhere. It k
stupendous super-circus that baffles t
