Is It a P less Quejs*
Thr I 1 .... ■ ..... ■. , . ,

oi Commerce
■•‘><l yesterday with re-
. rhe prohibition issue. While we
concede the a B lom of neutral action on the
.Bart of the Chamber of Commerce as a
body in thU mailer, or, better still, while
i*< a knit the unaiMum of the action taken
on Saturday bust, w< do not agree with the
prohibition membeni of that ixxly that the
i -uc in strictly a political and not a busi
n<* :• question, and we think we can prove
our position by the various contentions
of the prohibitionists thomsdlves.
in the first i>Lue, if it is a political
qm-'ion, th'-n, it sci-rns to ue, the various
« hurcln s tlmt have endorsed prohibition
in their confer* nces, or tnat have actually
Jn tie it an article of faith, so to apeak,
are taking a most advanced step in the
way of church dictation in politics. But we
do not < are t > m.ik« a point on the Churches
except to show the inconsistency of those
churchmen who contend that the prohUbi
tlon istsue Is a political one when it is be
fore ti>e Chamber of ■Commerce, but not a
j.»ldi<ai one- when it Is before their
Church conferences.
But in another way our prohibition
fr.vnds are on record as opitosed to the
idea that then- is pulitk* in their move
ment. W< re-member quite well that the
■j-oint was made by a certain local faction
that there was more politic*) in the move
ment than anything else, and wo recall
that this charge w-as strenuously denied
by the friends of the movement.
Again, we 11 member having seen some
very elaborate and 'ntiesting arguments in
favor of the theory that the enactment of
prohl iltion Would promote t‘ho business in
terests of the community; tn fact, that
prohibition itself was offered for the wel
fare of our city and county—not from a
r- iigious and a political utaislpoint, but
, nobly from a moral ami business stand
ilHjlnt. We have been told how the* city
avoul-I grow and prosper under prohibition,
uml if prohibition is all that is claimed for
lit tn t'hi.- connection, it tdiould receive the
< ndorsomem of t very busness man in thi
community.
•>'> it m i nts, after all. that our friends
do. at times, com-ide the question to be a
ibiitdmone, therefore their point that the
■Chamber of Commerce was dabbling in
polities, contrary to its constitution, doen
not seem to lie well taken; to say nothing
of its utter inconsistency when viewed in
connection Kith file Chamber's action at
on-' time on certain charter changes. Here
thin honorable body divided almost on
«d>.-i 'factional lines In an effort to defeat
cerialn ehangen proposed by the "ins.”
Now, however, they claim that a vastly
»nore niHvrlant matter ami one most vital
ly affecting the 'business interests of the
■community is not a btudness matter, but
.i strictly political one. While in their
churches. (which are supposed to keep out
of |xdit lee,) they declare it is not a po
litical lusue. So much for their consis
•’ll<-y.
tow- •ver. we heartily concur in the view
I Lwholly unnecessary and unu
■ .unfortunate for the Chamber of
to take action on the issue at
> i, ami we heartily endorsed the recon
nd. rat ion of Saturday s action, which
jtave such offense to the prohibition mem
ftvers of the Chamber. Wo do not mean by
this, however, to concede that prohibition
5s not a buslnctss issue. On the contrary,
tit is very much a business issue.
LAs we have said. if it will
♦Io ail that is claimed for it, it deserves
the endorsement of our entire business
community, trnspeetive of membership in
lbe chamber of Commerce. Hut if. as we
believe, it will operate to close nearly a
hundred of the business houses of • this
community and to give Macon a black eye
commercially, then it is certainly a "bus
iness question. ’ and one demanding the
notions consideration of every business
tuan in this community. *
Inasmuch, however, as the Chamber of
t'onumree has. very properly we think,
under the circumstances, refused to con
sider the issue before us, it behooves every
■mar., old and young, who has business in
ieresis in Macon, whether he be employer
or employe, to consider it well and weigh
It carefully for himself.
i< t hote was ever a question involving
the business community, we might almost
way the prosperity of Macon itself, that
question is now -before us; and. disguise
it as we may. the business feature of the
issue constantly stares us all in the face.
•AW an in duty bound to consider the bus
iness application of .this burning question.
M ill prohibition benefit Macon, or merely
H few hard drinkers? Will it open up new
stores and find tenants for those made va- I
by the enactment of such a measure?
"‘1 furnish employment to those who
11 '> ■ irownout by these new conditions?
And w ill it adjust the tremendous discrep
ancy must necessarily be shown in
the public revenues? All of these are !
business questions of the most vital im-
Ivat.ance, and they deserve rhe careful i
consideration of every man who makes his
living in Macon.
They are business questions of (ar great
er moment than <a few charter changes, on
which the Chamber of Commerce at one
time saw t't to act. They are questions
.nat cannot be answered by the action of
y . rca ..zed body; they must be thought
ci. and applied by the individual himself.
We insist again that the business issue
it volve d in this proposed experiment deal- i
1 c with rhe hquor traffic is equal to if
not paramount to any other issue. If a
try town'’ means a dead town, as the i
♦ ’.ci ■ i of so many other places demon- •
< then the issue involves the future ’
of Macon, and is one that should be voted '
with these things well in mind.
’>'r th. action or non-action of the i
C- ml- - ' •
Wi ‘ vommerce on the issue, we '
fc naught. It is, after all has been said, |
4 teinese problem that can best be ap- j
. ® individual. And in this con- |
nection let us say that the cltisen of Ma
con who doesn’t consider it strongly
enough to cast a vote either one way or
the other, is doing nothing either to ben
efit or protect his community—a duty that
every Maconite ow<* to his town and him
self. whatever may be his views as to
prohibition itself.
Why Not?
The suggestion has been made that a
monster meeting of the business men of
this community be held at the Academy of
Music tonight to discuss the vital issue
now before us, and which is to be settled
on Thursday next.
This is in line with a motion offered by
Mr George A. Smith at the Cham' r of
I Commerce meeting last nigh While
agreeing that for the sake of riy -bd
for the preservation of ” • Ch it .cr of
Commerce, Mr. Smith bought j’ x.i,_ and
proper that all th* . : r. of the
(ommunlty. lr-- -p- • live <,r their member
ship in the - .»l>e, ; of • mmerce, consid-
er this !“su< or .ffecting the business
into* .♦ .nmunity, and, if they
resolutions touching upon
' -• there can be no objection to such
i i • eting. If. as many believe, the issue
.oes involve the business interests of Ma
con, then why haven't the business men of
the community a right to discuss it among
themselvta and to act on it. Why isn't it
their duty to do so?
What matters it that the election is to
lie held on the following day? When was
there ever an issue before the public that
did not permit of such discussion and
consideration as is proposed by the busi
ness men of Macon? These business men,
• ven the Chamber of Commerce itself, has
never hesitasvd to consider and act on
other issues, the tariff and financial ques
tions for instance, even though they were
toon to be settled at the polls.
If prohibition is either a political or a
busimss issue, then it is an issue that de
mands tin attention of every business man
in this community. And it must be one
r the other, even though it be claimed
that it is also a moral issue.
For these reasons we assert that it is
but right and pro[>er for the business men
of this community, no matter what may
be th, ir views on the issue before us, to
meet and discuss this vital question. We
hope both sides will be present in force at
the Academy of Musi.- tonight in order
that she business phase of the prohibition
question may be fully brought out.
Macon's New Watchword.
"Harmony!”
That is the magic word which is on the
lips o’ every citizen of Macon today.
It was first hoard when the Carnival As
sociation undertook to celebrate magniti
•er.tly the siventy-fifth anniversary of the
founding of the city. In that enterprise ail
the people joined hands and put then
shoulders together. All were filled wi'th
the spirit of the common interest. The
good of the city was the one thought.
Th< beneficent results of this communal
solidarity were made manifest to everyone,
and the lesson has not been forgotten. If
the year now running to its close had
brought nothing more to the people than
this demonstration of the potency of har
monious and united citizenship, it would
stand as a red-letter year in the history o c
the city. •
The first, effect was shown when the pro
liibition campaign opened directly upon
the 'heels of the carnival. Mayor Price
came forward with what was in its essence
i pica for harmony. Ho deprecated th’
interjection of the issue at the present
time, because he was afraid that his fel
low citizens w'ho had become seized with
the no-operation spirit might again be
forced apart.
The same idea controlled the action of
the -Chamber of Comereet last night when
the question as to reconsidering the action
of Saturday relative to the anti-prohibi
tion resolutions was brought before the or
ganization. There was -a very large at
tendance and much feeling, but the very
first, speaker began with the assertion fha
he did not desire to say anything that
would disturb the existing personal friend
ships or the harmonious character of the
chamber Itself. All the resolutions struck
the same note. The result' was a recon
sideration of the -action land When the ad
journment occurred everybody was in a
good humor and there was*general -and re
ciprocal felicitation. *
The man who loves Macon, who would
see het prosper and rise to a high estate
cannot fail to rejoice that this condition
exists and that it is now possible even
upon the most acute and vital issue for
our citizens to engage jn its discussion
without h ird words or personal bitterness
Macon is safe enough and will continue
to progress eo long as this happy 'state
shall obtain.
Order at the Polls.
There has been a good deal of talk about
pos»sible disorder at the polls on Thursday,
and a great many people profess to fear
•serious trouble. The prohibitionists on
their part, fear “-crowding” by the work
ers of the other side, 'aud the antis fear
trouble growing out of the presence of the
ladies at the polls.
We must confess that we do not share
to any extent the soars of either side, yet
we 'are frank to say that neither of the
things -complained of are right, and for the
sake of hiannony and quietude at the polls
•should be -avoided.
The antis should realize that their op
ponents have as much right as anyone
else to vote their convictions, and any in
terference with this right might result
seriously. As already stated, 'however, we
have no idea that any such interference
will be attempted; certainly by none of the
responsible heads of the anti-prohibition
side and without their approval.
We are equally loth to believe that the
proh i bit ion is t§ will have ladies at the
polls. Not that any lady would not grace
and deignify any polling place -by her
presence, but because it is a dangerous ex
periment to try at this time, and because,
too. it is so utterly foreign to our customs.
It is hard to believe that there are women
in Macon, a city of culture and a Southern
city, where respect for women amounts al
most to reverence, who will place them
selves in a position to invite possible dis
respect, or even to be brought in direct
contact with the scenes unfortunately com
mon at the polls the world over.
If woman is God’s noblest work, surely
her place is not at the polls. Amid the
i turbulent scenes incident to any hotly con
j tested election as the coming one promises
I to be. let it not be said that our noble wo
men were allowed to participate therein.
The world has much more respect for
the min who stands up for 'his convic
tions than for the man who pretends to
have oonvictiops and yet lacks the moral
, courage to express them.
So far our people have shown remarka
ble good temper over the present, prohibi
tion contest. With but two more days be
fore us let us hope that this same spirit of
harmony and good feeling will character
ize our actions to the end.
Whatever may be your convictions on t
the question before us. vote them. Tk>n t ■
contribute, by your silence, to the injury ,
of your community.

Most watches do, but few do so correctly. A
