Mayor Woodward practically placed himself squarely In the race for re- election Thursday when he told of re ports of sinister effort* to oppose him. I have been informed from several good sources that the Destructor Company of New York, the hullderb of the crematory, and the Okonite Company of New York, the builders of the new Are alarm system, don't Intend to try to make any settlement with the city during my administra tion, but are endeavoring to get out some other candidate who would ap prove the contracts. "Then, when my administration is over, they would get their contracts approved without friction. His Advice to Companies. "I have not said whether I would ,4»r would not run for Mayor. I can tell those companies, though, that if they will use the money it would take to beat me with a candidate who would approve their contracts, in re ducing their prices I will approve the purchase of their plants at once, and everything would be settled without further worry of taking any chances." Mayor Wo<dward said that while the last crematory contract had been approved, no effort had been made by the Destructor Company to get a final settlement with the city. He said the plant wan not coming up to speci fications and it would do no good to apply to him for money until it did. The plant is completed and has been burning garbage for several month* Likely To Be Big Issues. Mayor Woodward has refused to recognize the $106,000 moral obliga tion contract for the Are alarm sys tem. He has intimated that he would pay a lump sum of $85,000 for the system, but the OKonlte Company refuses to make a greater reduction than 2 per cent. Unless these two contracts are set tled before the next election they un doubtedly will be important Issues in the Mayoralty election, without re gard to the report* beard by Mayor Woodward.

This position will be nut, ba the extreme agitator avith the declaration that tax money and trade funds which come directlv and indirectly through the opera tion of locker clubs and like in stitutions of pleasurable inter course is neither desired nor de sirable. Such a view is initially and finally wrong. It has not even a crutch on which to rest the weakened leg of debate. Shut up the locker clubs and pleasure resorts of Atlanta an! Georgia and you will take from the asylums and public schools of the State a valued and needed source of income. Press down the lid of puritanical reform, and you will send the hip-pocket blind tiger through the shopping d«s tricts of every city, and the back alleys of every home. Nail tight ly the doors of all these places that now operate under the eyes of the law, amenable to our courts, and you will open subter ranean passages from one of the States to ’ the other, through which will flow the vilest concoc tions that ever parched a throat ot poisoned a stomach. Aside from the great crime of turning neighbor against neigh bor in unchristian war of opin ion, the threatened fight on locker clubs is endangering the business life of our city and State. There is not a bauk, a mercantile establishment or a factory that will not be affected by any radical change in the ex isting condition. Ami it may he said in truth there is not an in stitution of charity which does not rely in a measure cn this much condemned habit of drink which men now indulge through licensed sale. One writer forcefully said, in one of our papers a few days ago: “A large share of every dollar the saloon keeper takes in goes to help pay the cost of run ning our prisons, police forces, courts, hospitals, asylums ami almshouses, all of which are sup ported by revenues from the liquor business ” The last general compilation of governmental expenditures is contained in the census report of 1902. This shows that the en tire annual expenses of the State and local governments for chan ties, insane and penal institutions were then a trifle more than $100,000,000. The total receipts from liquor licenses were $55,- 000,000, and the Federal internal and customs revenue from liquors $200,000,000 additional. Thus the revenues from the liquor business would pay all the expenses of our penal and public charitable institutions and leave $155,000,000 for other uses. The entire expenditures of States ami localities for courts, military and police, for the year 1902 were not quite $100,000,000. Adding all this to the expenses already gi v en, makes a total of $200,000,000 The revenue from the liquor traf fic would pay this, too, and leave a balance of $50,000,000 for other purposes. In thi§ day of demagogic judi cial display it seems that a coura geous press should wield vigor ous pens in behalf of that sanity which makes for stable conserva tism in government. The intent of the law and the welfare of o |jr institutions suggest no interfer ence with the reasonably con ducted locker club, and common justice cries out against the re cent raiding of down-town cl ms whereas the authorities seem to be blinded as to the existent- > j I such up-town clubs as the Cap* City and the Athletic. The J id?' j who will allow the law to be *■’ j unrighteously enforced ag a ' n ” the poor man, himself is a hre- 1 er of that classism that means anarchy. FAXRPL- a * J Advt.
