MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
GIVEN GREAT IMPETUS
Continued from Page Ons.
I am pleased, therefore, to fill out your
blank.
"In this connection I desire to ex
press my appreciation of your edito
rials appearing In your paper, espe
cially on the negro problem I trust
that you will be successful tn both the
negro solution and municipal owner
ship."
Air. Boone Is not one of those who
has to. wait until he sees which way
the political wind lies before ho speaks
out. There are a lot of little politicians
who are waiting to sec whnt sort of
velocity this municipal ownership gats
Is going to take on. When they see It
•bout 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 la against them. The belt
weathers are doing the brother rabbit
stunt—"layln' low an' sayln’ nuthln'
but they will be crying aloud before
very long.
Straightout Municipal Ownership,
Aldlne Chambers, an attorney with
offices at 225-228 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
oil public utilities. For fifteen years I
have talked and worked, und since I
have been voting, have voted ns near
ly for these principles as the condi
tions of campaigns would permit.
"1 trust that you will keep up the
fight until it Is won. and then we will
look for other service utilities to es
tablish and other public monopolies to
crush."
The Voles of ths 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
poople," wrote C. H. Allen, of 205 Ilnss
street. Mr. Allen Is tight.
Dr. Joseph Broughton, a dentist, with
offices In the Fourth National Bank
building, writes that he "believes In the
city owning gas, electric llglfts, water,
street cars, etc,"
O. Q. Baredeld, of 909 Fourth Na
tional Bank building, says: "It Is a
good thing: push It along.” Wo made
some remarks Monday afternoon rela
tive to "pushing it along."
W. N. Reeves, n bookkeeper, with
offices In the Fourth National Bank
building, wants "the grafters put out
of business.”
“Ons and electric lights and all other
public utilities," writes A. I,. Wlsbcy,
an accountant, who resides at 328
Whltehnll street.
R. H. McDougall, of 25 Peters street,
says: "It Is badly needed here."
A. C. Belcher, of 520 Peters build
ing, writes that he "favors the plan."
O. W. Seidell, an attorney, of 18
West Ellis street, says: "Let mu
nicipal ownership of gas and electric
lights COME AT ONCE.”
J. E. Loveless, a correspondent for
the S. S. White Dental Company, says
he believes In municipal ownership
"because it Is our only hope of re
lief."

The people are speaking up. Tho

is no use for the advocates of this

IN THE CORRIDORS
WITH DRUGGISTS
Every kind, of tooth powder, every
variety of artificial complexion, every
new Idea in druggist wares, will bo on
exhibition In the display rooms on the
second floor. Tho exhibit was opened
Tuesday morning nnd Ih rapidly till
ing. t3us II. Bbteser, of Ht. Louis, Is
here with enough rouge nnd complex
ion powder to supply the chorus girls
of t lie season, one manufacturer has
a keg or two of root beer on tap. But
the ladles have not formed a bargain
counter rush yet, for the cosmetic
rounter has a placard saying "No sam
ples today.”
"Why not?" on n big blue button,
excited the curiosity of the visitors
Monday, but the symbol was explained
Tuesday when ribbons were added
bearing an invitation to Join a co
operative insurance organization.
Every delegate is wearing the button.
Chicago nnd Denver are lighting f*»r
the convention of 1907. Every Chicago
man wears a badge a foot long with
the words "Chicago, 1907," ami they
are all hustling for supporters like
ward healers on election day. The
Denver men are not so numerous, but
they are mighty busy. The choice of
the convention city will tie left to the
executive committee Instead of a pop
ular vote, as at most conventions.
Copies of the president’s address and
the report of the executive conunltt
were printed and distributed among the
delegates, who read them as they were
read from the rostrum anti were thus
more easily able t«» absorb their true
value. This did not reduce the Influ
ence of chairman Simon Jones' el
juenco, however, and he was greet
with rounds of applause as he scored
the opponents of the organized drug
trade.
The nnnunl nddress of President M. T.
Br«*slln, of New Orleans, to the National
Association of Hetnll Druggists was In
part ns follows:
During the past year the Hnuth. the new
South, lilts been doubly honored by the
N. A. U. I)., first, by selecting Atlanta ns
the place for Its nnnunl convention, and
sci'oudly, l»y honoring a member from New
Orleans with the distinguished office of
president. 1 take this occasion to thank
you In tnjr own behalf and In behalf of
the prosperous section of this glorious
I molt which 1 have tin* honor to represent.
In speaking of the New Mouth, Its splen
did achievements anil still more spieuiltd
future, I cannot refrain from paving trib
ute to the great innn who coined that
phrase, the man who wielded so powerful
an Influence In the development of the
South's resources, the man who did **»
much to bring the North nnd the Mouth to
a better understanding, nnd cement the
bonds of a brotherhood loosened by the
"ivll war. No niun can estimate what this
ountry. North and Mouth, East and West,
owes to the lofty sonl nnd magnetic Judg
ment one of the greatest orators, one of
tlie noblest patriots, this blessed country
has ever produced.

An efficient registration bureau und
a private telephone bus been Installed
on the second floor. Every delegate
registering is provided with a badge
and nn aluminum inounteil program.
An Information bureau Is on the main
r and several clerks are ready to
tell the delegates how to 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
lews of the city and Interesting bits
f information.
"Where is your city market?" asked
one delegate Tuesday morning.
We haven’t one," said the clerk at
the information bureau. "We abolished
ours a short time ago and the grocers
handl? all the matket tru • * now.”
"Well, I'm sorry for that.*' said the

Before the passage of the commit
tee's report by council Monday after
noon, allowing 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-
climen 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
council meeting Tuesday afternoon,
and, therefore, the saloons not 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:

Didn't Hear From Ministers.
Before the vote wns called for, Coun
cilman Terrell moved that the rules
be suspended so as to allow citizens to
be heard from. Rev. Dr. John E. Whlto
nnd several other members of the At
lanta Ministerial Association were In
the chamber awaiting tha chance to be
heard from. Alderman Key objected,
stating that notice had been given
through the daily press to all who
wished to object to the granting of
the licenses nnd that the objection
should have been made to the commit
tee. This objection killed the motion.
Councilman Martin asked what was
the basis of the selections. He stated
that he knew of cases where one saloon
had been considered by the committee
when the next door a saloon of equal
repute had not been considered,
gave a specific example.
Chairman OIdknow, of the special
committee, stated that it was impossl
hie to consider all the saloons at on
time and that the committee had at
tempted to select tho saloons nearest
the center of the block In which they
were located.
The Discriminations.
It wns 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 nnd then
take up the retail men nnd 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.
The vote wns then called for and the
committee report adopted.
At the opening of council a petition
was rend from the Piedmont lodge, No.
199, Independent Order of Odd Fel
lows, with headquarters at 430 1-2 Ma
rietta street, which protested against
the granting of llcqrses 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 Decatur street; M. Rai
son, 24G Decatur street; 1. Sinkovitz,
252 and 234 Decatur street. The peti
tion was referred to the police com
mittee.
Dr. White said, when Asked what ef
fect the action of council would have
on bringing *>ut a prohibition election:
"I have attempte*! to hold down any
radical movement, believing it was for
the betterment of the cause; but the
Dr. Qeorge Mack, who waa aiao pres
ent at the meeting, said: "The more
they attempt to bottle these matters
up in committee, and do not allow dig
cuaslon in open council, he stronger
will become the prohibition sentiment r
