I am pleased, therefore, to All -out your blank. "In this connection I desire to ex press my appreciation of your edito rials appearing In your paper, espe dally on the negro problem I trust that you will be successful in both the negro solution and municipal owner •hip." Mr. Boone Is not one of those who has to wait until he sees which way the political wind lies before he spenks out. There are a lot of little politicians who are waiting to set what sort of velocity this municipal ownership gale Is going to take on. When they see I about to overwhelm them they are go Ing to shin up the municipal ownership plank and cry out that they have al ways been for municipal ownership. But the people know who Is for them and who Is against them. The bell weathers are doing the brother rabbit stunt—"layln' low an* sayln* nuthln”’— but they will be crying aloud before very long. 8traightout Municipal Ownership. Aldlne Chambers, an attorney with offices At 226-228 Equitable building, has this to say on the subject: -^’Please place my name on the roll of members of the Municipal Ownership League. I think that the city should own and operate Its light, gAs and heating plants, and Its telephone lines and street car system. 1 believe In the principle of government ownership of all public utilities. For fifteen years * have talked and worked, and since have been voting, have voted as near ly for these principles as the condl tlon* of campaigns would permit. "I trust that you will keep up the fight until It Is won, nnd then we will look for other service utilities to es tablish and other public monopolies to crush.** The Voice of the People. "I heartily approve of your plan,' wrote T. C. Laird, an Insurance man. We are glad, and we might add that there are hundreds of others who ap prove of our plan, but who have not taken the trouble to come out boldly and say so. "The sooner the better for all of our people," wrote C. H. Allen, of 205 Bass street. Mr. Allen Is tight. Dr. Joseph Broughton, a dentist, with offices In the Fourth National Bunk building, writes that he "believes In the city owning gas, electric lights, water, street cars, etc." O. Q.

An Information bureau Is on the main floor and several clerks are tead> to tell the delegates how t«» reach the points of interest about Atlanta and furnish any Information desired. Sev eral local drug and supply firms have prepared pamphlets of Interest, with views of the city and interesting hits of Information. "Where is your city market?" asked one delegate Tuesday morning. "We haven’t one," raid the clerk at the Information bureau. "We abolished ours a short time ago nnd the grocers handl 1 ail the maiket tru • c now." "Well, I’m sorry for that." said the visitor.

Is tha N. A. R. D. a Trust? It Is charged by the attorney general of the I Tilted States that the members of this association are members of a trust. Most of us have always associated the word "trust" with the possession of enormous wealth. We have been accustomed to think of the beneficiaries of trusts ns spending most of their time In traveling In private ears or automobiles, lavishing their wealth on S10.000 bampiets and Monts Car lo gambling diversions, their only labor be ing the clipping of coupons off of bonds or signing receipts for fat dividends. It Is usually understood that while trust magnates nre not addicted to lal*or of any sort they do a great deal of scheming and the main purpose of this scheming la to smnsb the humble competitor who Is try ing to make a living by the sweat of his brow. Are there any such bloated bond holders in the ranks of the N. A. R. D.l Have you ever heard of one there? This Is a fairly representative body. It stands for the hopes, tho aspirations, the facturers to establish n uniform price for fixed quantities so that they can purchase ns cheaply ns the great merchants, and thus compete with them In the retail trade, they have the right to do so, and that no court of equity ought to Interfere nnd restrain them from the exercise of the privilege." That was the opinion of 11 state court. It may be argued that a federal Judge might have taken n contrary view. Fortunately, however, we have the decision of u federal court that goes even farther os to some of the plans we are using than the New York court of appeals. Judge Andrew M. J. Cochran In deciding the ease of S'aimuel II. Hartman vs. John D. Dark A Son Co., lu the I'nltcd States circuit court for the east ern district of Kentucky, says: Judge Cochran's Dscition. "How, then, does the mutter stand upon authority? The whole trend of authority Is favorable to the vnjldlty of the system.

The sensn- tion-niougertng press of the «*ouutry has Befora the passage of the commit tee’s report by council Monday after noon, allow'lhg twenty-nine wholesale and retail liquor dealers to open their places of business, several interesting features came to light. It was stated by several of the coun- cflmen that discrimination was shown, wittingly or unwittingly, by the com mittee. This fell as something of a bomb shell as the reason for revoking the licenses was that no partiality would be shown. The other principal feature of Inter est was the refusal of the council to allow citizens to be heard before the licenses were passed. Another point which might prove of Interest Is the fact that there will be no council meeting Tuesday afternoon, and. therefore, the saloons toot so for tunate as to be In the first considered batch will not be allowed to open their doors until Thursday morning. The twenty-nine liquor dealers given licenses are named as follows: The R. M. Rose Company. The Po.tts-Thompson Company. The Jacobs Pharmacy Company. The Thompson Liquor Company. The Atlanta Brewing and Ice Com pany. Bluthenthal & Birkart. The Lenox Distilling Company. The Carroll & Reid Co. Brannen & Anthony. I. H. Oppenhelm, wholesale, 9 East Alabama street. The Piedmont hotel. The Aragon hotel. The Kimball house. D. W. Kennedy, Peachtree street. Morris Manhelm, corner Peachtree and Walton streets. Fred G. Painter, Empire building. William Wolpert, the Ponce DeLeon, corner Peachtree and Poplar streets. I. H. Oppenhelm, 7 East Alabama street. Harry Silverman, corner Whitehall and Alabama streets. A. Samuels, the Office, Marietta street. Little & McCorkle, corner Marietta and Forsyth streets. Jacob Vogt, corner Marietta and Broad streets. Gray & Condon, South Broad street. A1 Bronk, corner Pryor and Hunter streets. Reid-Gordon Company. H. G. Keeney, West Mitchell street Hayner Distilling Company, Decatur street. Thomas Bradley, manager of Moer- leln Brewing Company. W. L. Brlchvell, manager of Chatta nooga Brewing Company. The licenses were considered at the meeting of the special committee Mon day morning, after having been select ed and advertised since Saturday, the council meeting they were passed In a bunch. Didn’t Hadr From Ministers. Before the vote was called for, Coun cilman Terrell moved that the rules be suspended so as to allow citizens to be heard from. Rev. Dr. John E. Whito nnd several other members of the At lanta Ministerial Association were In the chamber uwaltlng the chance to be heard from. Alderman Key objected, stating that notice had been given through the dally press to all who wished to object to the granting of the licenses and that the objection should have been made to the commit tee. This objection killed the motion. Councilman Martin usked what was the basis of the selections. He stated that he knew of rases where one snloon had been considered by the committee when the next door a saloon of equal repute had not been considered, gave a specific example. Chairman Oldknow, of the special committee, stated thaj It was Impossi ble to consider all the saloons at one time nnd that the committee had at tempted to select the saloons nearest the center of the block In which they were located. The Discriminations. It was stated by councllmen that this plan had not been adhered to. Councilman Martin was asked to pro pose a better arrangement. He sug gested that It would have been better either to consider all the wholesale dealers and allow them to open and then take up the retail men and allow them all to open at the same time, or to consider the saloons by sections and allow all the liquor houses In each sec tion to open simultaneously. x The vote was then called for and the committee report adopted. At the opening of council a petition wns read from the Piedmont lodge, No. 190, Independent tinier of Odd Fel lows, with headquarters at 430 1-2 Ma rietta street, which protested against the granting of licenses to any’ saloons west of Forsyth street. A petition was read from the Fulton lodge of Odd Fellows, which has a hall on Decatur street, asking that certain saloons on that street not be allowed licenses. The saloons mentioned were: M. J. Prlscock, 230 Decatur street: L. M. Porter, 232 Decntur street; M. Rai son, 216 Decatur street; I. SInkovitz, 252 and 254 Decatur street. The peti tion was referred to the police com mittee. Dr. White said, when*asked what ef feet the action of council would have on bringing out a prohibition election: "I have attempted to hold down any radical movement, believing It was for action of council will make It extreme, ly difficult In the future." Dr. George Mack, who was also pres, ent at the meeting, said: "The more they attempt to bottle these matters up In committee, and do not allow dis cussion In open council, he stronger win become the prohibition sentiment.’ AM CONSIDERED After an open meeting lasting about two hours and a long executive ses sion. the special committee which has under consideration the liquor licenses decided to make no report until Wed nesday morning. The committee will hold session at 9 o’clock, when all the aloons which have not come up for discussion will be passed upon and th# report returned to council. The coun cil will hold sesalon at 3 o'clock for the purpose of considering the reports. Although the committee gave out no report. It Is understood that nearly all the saloons considered Tuesday were reported favorably, aa there were but few objections registered. The saloons taken up for considera tion v.ere as follows: D. B.

Clark. 4 Central avenue. W. H. Faith, 17 Marietta. Opposition Dovolopod. Joel Hurt opposed the South Bend Liquor Company, 4 North Broad street, on the grounds that the place Injured his property. Ernest L. Rhodes opposed the Ten nessee Liquor Company. 51 South Broad street, on the ground that It was dis orderly; that drinks were sold both to whites and blacks; that a gambling den was run over the saloon, and that It was III smelling. W. Olln Stamps, o.-W. Walker, Leake Fain, J. D. Mattaford and Anthony Murphy testified In favor of the saloon. It was stated that the H. Jacobs Li quor Company had violated the law by sending out quantities less than quarts last Christmas. It was claimed that Brown, 18 North Broad, had participated In a number of disorderly affairs; that S. S. Moore, owner of'the liquor house at 18, 18 and 20 Wall street, had sold to minors during tho state fair, and that I. C. Clark, 4 Cen tral avenue, has broken the law by selling In pint quantities. Th# Clark concern Is a wholesale establishment. Mr. Clark admitted that he had sold pints and that there were still pints In the store.
