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.
