PROTEST AGAINST YOUNG.
Washington, April 25.—Secre
tary of the Navy Myer today re
ceived verbal protests against
the government’s acceptance of
a silver service containing the
likeness of Brigham Young, of
the Mormon church, as Utah’s
gift to its battleship namesake.
The protest were from com
mittees, bearing a letter of in
troduction from Cardinal Gibbons
and representing the Daughters
of the American Revolution and
other organizations.
Secretary Meyer said he had
no jurisdiction at present. He
would wait, he added, until the
service Is delivered in July.
Money To Loan.
I am in position now to secure
loans on farm lands and town
property in Montgomery County.
The lender that will hanijle my
business is especially desireable
for parties that want big loan's
on farm lands, and for those who
want to build homes in towns.
Their interest is 6 per cent.
Terms five years, the borrow pay
ing 1-10 each year thereby re
ducing the interest, and princi
pal so the final settlement will be
easy. The money for building
or improving homes 'in towns is
also G per cent, money, and the
loans are arranged so the bor
rower repays monthly for 60
months. You only have to add
a little to the amount you are
paying as rent to own you a
home in a short time. I think
this a good way for a pex*son to
get a home.

WAR ON MEXICO WITHOUT EXCUSE.
9
There is no good reason why
the United States should be drag
i ged or tricked into a war upon
Mexico, even though certain com
mercial interests and discouraged
Republican leaders may so desire,
and even though the Mexican in
surgents and their American al
lies may insist on doing their
fighting along the border with a
view to consequences that will
the more urgently invite inter
vention.
This country is to be congratu
lated upon the fact that its Presi
dent is less excitable and reckless
than his predecessor, that its
Senate is disposed to deliberate
before it acts, and that its House
of Representatives has a Demo
cratic majority shrewd enough
to perceive that a war would
benefit the Republicans by dis
tracting attention from the is
sues of the hour.
What would Americans have
thought if, during our war of
1861-5, England had proposed
armed intervention, including in
vasion, merely in order to pro
tect the investments of English
men and to prevent a few stray
bullets from crossing the inter
national boundary and causing a
scare and perhaps a wound or
two in some Canadian communi
ty?
No more serious reasons for
intervention in Mexico have been
made clear. Yet armed inter
vention for even such trivial rea
sons would lead to actual war
and actual war upon feeble and
inoffending Mexico by the United
States could be reasonably ex
plained only on the ground that
we are a pirate nation bent on
military expeditions for the pur
pose of conquest and territorial
seizure.
Mexico may be justly held ac
countable for damages caused by
firing the l>order, and will
no doubt gladly pay the bill, but
war would be inexcusable. — Ma

MACON IS TESTING
PROHIBITION LAW.
Macon, Ga., April 24. So far
as the sale of liquor is concerned,
MacoiT, for the past two days,
has been as dry as the Sahara
desert, with the near beer em
poriums the only cases.
Determined to enforce the
prohibition statute and the local
locker club ordinance fora time
at least, the police department,
commencing Sunday, shut down
absolutely, clamping the lid on
every place where it was believ
ed that a drink of intoxicating
liquid could by any chance be
sold. Policemen were stationed
at the front and rear entrance of
all locker clubs, and they inter
cepted all persons entering and
leaving these places long enough
to take down their names, resi
dence and business addresses.
'These names will be compared
with the lists of supposed mem
bers furnished the chief of po
lice, pursuant to his demand, by
the locker clubs. Tuesday morn
ing the cases against the locker
clubs will be heard in the re
corder’s court. More than 200
witnesses, many of whom were
secured today, have been sum
moned.
The sit out ion as regards: t he en
forcement of the prohibition law
has reached an acute stage, main
ly because of the strenuous agi
tation led by the church people,
which culminated yesterday in
the preaching of seven special
prohibition sermons. Another
factor was the recent declara
tion of six aldermen in open
council that the law' is being
openly and flagrantly violated.
As a result of all this, Chief
Chapman is successfully giving
Macon its first real taste of the
prohibition law.
‘Phone the news to 'The Moni
tor. When you have a visitor, or
anything else, tell us about it.
We put in a telephone sos that
purpose. Touch the wire when
auythirig happens; and if nothing
happens to happen, get out and
make it happen. Ring number

Jeff Davis counties, showing the
| benefits they had derived as proof
lof his assertions and urged the
necessity of unity of purpose and
unselfiish co-operation. His ad
dress was attentively listened to
and enthusiastically applauded.
At the close of his address,
Mr. H. L. Sears invited every
i body to dinner which had been
I bountifully prepared in a nearby
j grove. In addition to the large
j (inanity of good things brought
jin by the ladies from adjoining
! communities the committee had
; several hundred pounds of ex
leellently barbecued meats and
1 11 uantities of nice bread, making
j a plenty for every one.
| After dinner the time was
! spent by the older folks in talk
ing “New County”, while the
I young people had a very pleasant
jsocial time.
1 A business session was called
jto order at 2:30 by Chairman B.
R. Benton. After hearing the
J reports of the various commit
j tees a resolution was passed and
| funds raised for the purpose of
