On Wednesday last Gov. Brown sent
to the Senate the name of Hon. W. A.

Newnan, and just before adjournment
either with or without order of the
court, and may take samples there
from for analysis and evidence.
10. Any citizen may make affidavit
that he believes alcoholic liquor is be
ing illegally sold in a place, in which
case the Judge must order the sheriff
to examine the place and take samples,
and the sheriff must obey. If licensee
refuses permission for examination his
license becomes void by reason of the
fact.
11. Everything sold must carry a
printed label giving the exact chemi
cal analysis, showing contents and
name of manufacturer.
12. All violations of the law work a
forfeiture of license, and disqualify to
hold license again or to be employed by
any other person holding license.
13. To violate any provision of the
act is a misdemeanor and punishable

On Fiday afternoon last, by a vote
of 23 to 18, the Senate adopted a reso
lution sustaining former Clov. Smith’s
action in suspending Hon. S. G. Mc
Lendon as a member of the Railroad
Commission. Yesterday afternoon the
House, by a vote of 121 to 17, concur-
ed in the Senate resolution. This ac
tion on the part of the General Assem-
ily vacates the office formerly held by
Mr. McLendon, and Gov. Brown will
have to appoint a successor, which he
will probably do before the Legisla
ture adjourns. On the adoption of the
resolution Senator McCollum voted
no,” and Messrs. Kirby and Couch
voted ‘‘aye.”

TRYING TO l‘CT N EAR-PEER
OUT OF BUSINESS.
Mr. Alexander, of lieKalb, not only
had incorporated in the tax act in the
House a provision increasing the li
cense to sell near-beer from $200 to
$500 per annum, but has also introduced
a bill prescribing regulations under
which licenses may be obtained, delin
ing the character of tipple that may be
sold as near-beer, and providing certain
penalties and forfeitures in ease of vi
olations.
In brief the provisions of the Alex
ander bill are as follows:
1. Retail license fixed at $500.
2. Healer must apply every quarter
for renewal of license.
3. Ordinary has absolute discretion
«f refusal.
4. Cannot grant license without writ
ten consent of every adjoining land
owner.
5. Applicant must swear that lie lias
not during preceding quarter sold any
beverage in violation of the prohibition
law, ai d will not during the quarter
applied for.
t). Applications must be advertised
two weeks before being granted.
7. Applicant must give bond in the
sum of $5,000, to be forfeited in full if
he violates law.
8. Before getting license applicant
must sign a receipt for same, agreeing
that the license shall be revokable at
the pleasure of State, with no money
refunded if license is revoked.
9. Must agree that sheriff or deputy
yiay inspect his place at any time.
The Removal of McLendon.
nericua Times-Record or.
While the General Assembly will
have turned McLendon out for good, it
will not be accurate to say that it has
lone so on the grounds set forth by ex-
Gov. Smith in his message, giving his
reasons for the suspension. The Legis
lature is not removing McLendon from
office because he failed to vote for
‘port rates,” nor is it removing him
from office because be rode on a special
car while inspecting a railroad. Rublie
sentiment, generally speaking, indorsed
the Commissioner’s position in the first
instance, and the latter charge has been
looked upon as almost too frivolous to
be worthy of consideration.
So far as Gov. Smith’s reasons went
it can be safely said that, outside of
the bitter partisan followers of that
leader in the Legislature, no one would
have been found willing to indorse the
Governor’s position and vote for the re
moval of McLendon. What really
brings about McLendon’s dismissal from
the State’s service by the Legislature
is bis unfortunate dealing in the bonds
f the Athens street railway company.
Although no crime may have been com
mitted, although technically he may
have been guilty of no violation of the
law or his oath of office, public senti
ment was, beyond question, outraged
by the fact, that the chairman of its
Railroad Commission had become an in
termediary between a street car corpo
ration and bond investors North, and
liad profited personally to the extent of
nearly $2,ooo on the deal. Sentiment,
too, was further outraged by his persist
ent silence on this matter until forced
to an exposure of the transaction by
the legislative investigating committee.
It is not possible to say whether the
Legislature would have acted different
ly if McLendon had boldly told the full
truth at the beginning. It is quite pos
sible that it would have done so; that
it would then have accepted his state
ment that there was no intention of
wrong-doing, and that at the most he
had been merely guilty of an indiscre
tion in an effort to promote the political
interests of Gov. Smith. But his seem
ing attempt at concealment, his con
tinued disinclination to have the facts
come out, his failure to tell the whole
truth at the very outset, his evident de
sire to protect himself from the results
of his indiscretion, told heavily against
him. He prejudiced his own case by
his manner of conducting it. If he was
advised to do as he did he was certainly
misled. The only course for him to
have pursued was, immediately after
the suspension was made—or as quickly
thereafter as possible—to have taken
the whole public into his confidence and
withheld not a single jot of evidence
that bore upon his official career.
We feel sorry for McLendon. \V
feel sorry for any one who puts himself,
wittingly or unwittingly, into a position
to he humiliated as he has been. Yet it
cannot be said that he is blameless. His
conduct has not been without reproach
If it had been, there would have been
nothing for him to fear. Polities or no
politics, the public would not have tol-

ated his punishment in this way if he
had been guiltless of even the appear
ance of wrong-doing. But the public is
jealous, and very properly so, of the
conduct of those whom it has entrusted
with high office. It is jealous of the
honor of the State. It is jealous of its
own rights. And it feels—and there is
no use denying the fact—that McLen
don was unfortunate enough to allow
himself to be led into a position where
all these things were in a measure jeop
ardized.
The moral of the McLendon case to
every officeholder in Georgia is this
Avoid the appearance of evil, and don’t
do things for political purposes that
you would he ashamed to do openly,
with the eyes of all men upon you.
