SQUIRE fePGEGATt/—Surely This Record of Trespass Won’t Be Held Against Mr. Jinks! BY LOUIS RICH ARB
PROHIBITION TO
BECOME ISSUE
By Hon. A. J. Perryman, New Era. Editor Tal-1 i
botton
There can be no doubting the fact
thut prohibition will again Joom up as
. live issue. The repeal by New
York of , h ., state's prohibition ,»w
oan be seen as an opening wedge for
the great prohibition fight that will
have to be fought all over again unless
ail signs fail. Following on the heels of
Xew York, three mid-western states
are agitating the question of prohibi
tion repeal, in so far as the state law T
is concerned.
The Volstead National law is not as
strict as most state laws, a.s the foi -
mer unless we have slipped a cog, al
lows a beverage to contain alcohol
amounting to half of one per cent,
Georgia probably has the most drast’c
prohibition law of any state in the
union; it is generally regarded so any
wa y
Gov. Smith, of New York, when he
signed the repeal of the prohibition
law of that state couched his reasons
for doing so in beautiful language,
stating that it would mean, there
would be in the future, no conflict be
tween the state law and national law.
Gov. Smith belongs to the wet element
and he obeyed the commands of a
large part of his constituency when
he signed the bill relegating prohibi
tion to the rubbish heap, in so far as
the state law is concerned.
The insidiotis propaganda of the li¬
quor interests can be plainly seen;
they will make a determined fight to
influence the several states in the un¬
ion to repeal their state prohibition
laws on a plea that we have a national
law that will take its place; if they
can succeed in getting a majority or
a goodly portion of the states to follow
the lead of New York, they will then
turn their attention to a repeal of the
Volstead law, using as a weapon, the
argument that the states have regis¬
tered their protest against prohibition
and there is grave danger that our
senators and representatives will fall
for the trap.
The safest thing is for the states to
keep their prohibition laws and refuse
to give an inch else the barroom and
dispensary are inevitable.
A good many of our learned editors
in Georgia, are praising the stand tak¬
en by Gov. Smith in signing the repeal
hill, and go so far as to say that those
who do not think as they do, have a
case of “muddle-headedness”—we are
Playing with fire when we weaken our
Prihibition laws one whit.
Unless we are mistaken, the liquor
interests of Georgia will begin to func¬
tion at the coming legislature in order
to foster sentiment in favor of a re¬
peal of our state prohibition law. Sen¬
sible and law-abiding citizens are try
'ng to uphold the law, and probably
the country will be better off when
the small percentage of law violators
who drink moonshine ‘‘potash” are fin¬
ished and pass from the screen, be¬
cause of the examples they set. As we
view it, the prohibition law should be
amended so as to make the man who
laiys liquor equally as guilty as the
man who sells it—there is no
ence in principle whatever—look out
W the prohibition issue to loom
'a the near future!

U. S. CONTINUES TESTS

ING COTTON
The work of the department of ag
riculture at Tallulah, Louisiana, in de
veloping methods and apparatus for
des.in, cotton HI, the b„,i weevii.
is Iveing continued this summer and
heavier planes are being used. In the
spring three De Havilandand 4B planes
were detailed by the war department
for use in these tests, and competent
engineers and pilots were were also pro
vided.
Previously considerable work on this
problem had been done with light ma
chines, and the use of the larger ones
has made it necessary to modify the
rlistrbuting mechanism. Several types
of dtist hoppers have been made for
me ting the new conditions, but it will
probably require some time to develop
a design which will he satsifactory.
Mr. Coad, who has charge of the boll
weevil labatory for the department
of agriculture, expects to have a
ly satisfactory permanent hopper
stalled in one of the planes for use in
actual control work during the sum
mer.
Several plantations near the landing
field have been mapped and all ar
rangements have been made for dust
ing the cotton with the planes. The
results of the new tests will be await
ed with interests by all those connected
with the cotton industry.
THE TRUTH
Many a girl who takes throe days to
shop for a hat, and who insists on
bringing all the Frenoh(?) models
shown her out on the sidewalk to see
them in daylight, picks her husband in
three minutes—with the lights turned
out in the back parlor.—Ex.
Sunshine and fresh air are the best
tonics for your children. They, like
wise, are the greatest agencies for the
curtailment of doctor bills.
