RETAIL DRUGGISTS OF AMERICA HOLD FIRST BUSINESS MEETING DISCRIMINATION SHOWN IN OPENING SALOONS; OTHERS ARE KICKING MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP GIVEN GREAT IMPETUS Continued from Page Ons. I am pleased, therefore, to fill out your blank. "In this connection I desire to ex press my appreciation of your edito rials appearing In your paper, espe cially on the negro problem I trust that you will be successful tn both the negro solution and municipal owner ship." Air. Boone Is not one of those who has to. wait until he sees which way the political wind lies before ho speaks out. There are a lot of little politicians who are waiting to sec whnt sort of velocity this municipal ownership gats Is going to take on. When they see It •bout to overwhelm them they are go ing to shin up the municipal ownership plank and cry out that they have al ways been for municipal ownership. But the people know who Is for them and who la against them. The belt weathers are doing the brother rabbit stunt—"layln' low an' sayln’ nuthln' but they will be crying aloud before very long. Straightout Municipal Ownership, Aldlne Chambers, an attorney with offices at 225-228 Equitable building, has this to say on the subject: "Please place my name on the roll of members of the Municipal Ownership League. I think that the city should own and operate Its light, gas and heating plants, and Its telephone lines and street car system. 1 believe In the principle of government ownership of oil public utilities. For fifteen years I have talked and worked, und since I have been voting, have voted ns near ly for these principles as the condi tions of campaigns would permit. "1 trust that you will keep up the fight until it Is won. and then we will look for other service utilities to es tablish and other public monopolies to crush." The Voles of ths People. "I heartily approve of your plan," wrote T. C. Laird, an Insurance man. We are glad, and we might add that there are hundreds of others who ap prove of our plan, but who have not taken the trouble to come out boldly and say so. "The sooner the better for all of our poople," wrote C. H. Allen, of 205 Ilnss street. Mr. Allen Is tight. Dr. Joseph Broughton, a dentist, with offices In the Fourth National Bank building, writes that he "believes In the city owning gas, electric llglfts, water, street cars, etc," O. Q. Baredeld, of 909 Fourth Na tional Bank building, says: "It Is a good thing: push It along.” Wo made some remarks Monday afternoon rela tive to "pushing it along." W. N. Reeves, n bookkeeper, with offices In the Fourth National Bank building, wants "the grafters put out of business.” “Ons and electric lights and all other public utilities," writes A. I,. Wlsbcy, an accountant, who resides at 328 Whltehnll street. R. H. McDougall, of 25 Peters street, says: "It Is badly needed here." A. C. Belcher, of 520 Peters build ing, writes that he "favors the plan." O. W. Seidell, an attorney, of 18 West Ellis street, says: "Let mu nicipal ownership of gas and electric lights COME AT ONCE.” J. E. Loveless, a correspondent for the S. S. White Dental Company, says he believes In municipal ownership "because it Is our only hope of re lief." Many Othsr Msmbsrs. Others who sent In applications for membership Tuesday morning were: J. M. Baldwin, a drummer, who re sides at 295 South Pryor street; H. S.

Greer, stenographer, of 909 Fourth National Bank building; J. N. T. Catnhcrn, a builder, who resides at 44 Ponders ave nue, and E. H. Day, who has offices In the Fourth National Bank building. The people are speaking up. Tho Georgian wants the peopls to speak up. Ws want the people to do some think ing on local conditions. There are plenty of reforms to be worked out right here In Atlanta, without giving entire attention tn the Cuban situation or the probability of a bomb kllllnr the esar of Russia. We ask that the peo ple make up their minds and then ACT. Bend In your application for membership in the Municipal owner ship League. Send It AT ONCE. There is no use for the advocates of this movement to hold u meeting with slim attendance. The opposition would cry it out of existence. The people must assert themselves ns ONE MAN, and make the corporations realize that the people are going to have what they lire entitled to. League of ths People. The Georgian Is going to call this mass meeting Just as soon as a suffi cient numbfr of members have been enrolled. And when the call Is Issued The Georgian wants every man who has sent in his application to make It a point to attend, others who have not sent In applications are Invited to at tend. but they will be requested to sign the application blanks, so that they may receive literature which will be sent out when the organization of the league has been perfected. An application blank will be found In every Issue of The Georgian. Cut it out, sign It and send tn this office. When the league Is organised It 1s go- tng to be turned over to the people.

Thomas Voegll, of Minneapolis, re sponded to Governor Terrell's address. He dwelt upon tho reputed hoHpItulity of the South nnd the pleaAure of the druggists In coming to Georgia and especially to Atlanta. Ram I). Jones, president of the cham ber of commerce, welcohied the dele- gate« In behalf of the business men of the city. Ills sparkling tvneodotes nnd his description of a genuine Georgia welcome brought him furloua applause nnd he was forced to bow his acknowl edgments several times'. Frank If. Freericks, of Cincinnati, de livered a short but interesting talk In which he expressed the delight of the visitors from the middle west In com ing to Atlanta. W. B. Freeman, of Atlanta, president of tho Georgia Pharmaceutical Asso ciation, welcomed the visitors In nn ad dress which was given hearty ap plause. \V. S. Elkin, president of the Atlanta Druggists' Association, delivered nn address of welcome, closing by present ing President llreslln with a silver- mounted gavel made from Georgia pine by H. M. Beutel.

Tfto funeral of Burt Stout waa held at Hllbum A Holland's undertaking establishment Tuesday at 12 o'clock, and the Interment took place at West- view cemetery. Mr. Stout was an old cltixen of Atlanta. He had for the past several years been In the Mllledge. vtlle sanitarium, where he died Mon day. He was for ten years an em ployee at the Atlanta postoffice, and waa generally and favorably known. Mr. Stout was about 60 years old. His brother. Thomas Stout, works with the ulhtrn Express Company. IN THE CORRIDORS WITH DRUGGISTS Every kind, of tooth powder, every variety of artificial complexion, every new Idea in druggist wares, will bo on exhibition In the display rooms on the second floor. Tho exhibit was opened Tuesday morning nnd Ih rapidly till ing. t3us II. Bbteser, of Ht. Louis, Is here with enough rouge nnd complex ion powder to supply the chorus girls of t lie season, one manufacturer has a keg or two of root beer on tap. But the ladles have not formed a bargain counter rush yet, for the cosmetic rounter has a placard saying "No sam ples today.” "Why not?" on n big blue button, excited the curiosity of the visitors Monday, but the symbol was explained Tuesday when ribbons were added bearing an invitation to Join a co operative insurance organization. Every delegate is wearing the button. Chicago nnd Denver are lighting f*»r the convention of 1907. Every Chicago man wears a badge a foot long with the words "Chicago, 1907," ami they are all hustling for supporters like ward healers on election day. The Denver men are not so numerous, but they are mighty busy. The choice of the convention city will tie left to the executive committee Instead of a pop ular vote, as at most conventions. Copies of the president’s address and the report of the executive conunltt were printed and distributed among the delegates, who read them as they were read from the rostrum anti were thus more easily able t«» absorb their true value. This did not reduce the Influ ence of chairman Simon Jones' el juenco, however, and he was greet with rounds of applause as he scored the opponents of the organized drug trade. The nnnunl nddress of President M. T. Br«*slln, of New Orleans, to the National Association of Hetnll Druggists was In part ns follows: During the past year the Hnuth. the new South, lilts been doubly honored by the N. A. U. I)., first, by selecting Atlanta ns the place for Its nnnunl convention, and sci'oudly, l»y honoring a member from New Orleans with the distinguished office of president. 1 take this occasion to thank you In tnjr own behalf and In behalf of the prosperous section of this glorious I molt which 1 have tin* honor to represent. In speaking of the New Mouth, Its splen did achievements anil still more spieuiltd future, I cannot refrain from paving trib ute to the great innn who coined that phrase, the man who wielded so powerful an Influence In the development of the South's resources, the man who did **» much to bring the North nnd the Mouth to a better understanding, nnd cement the bonds of a brotherhood loosened by the "ivll war. No niun can estimate what this ountry. North and Mouth, East and West, owes to the lofty sonl nnd magnetic Judg ment one of the greatest orators, one of tlie noblest patriots, this blessed country has ever produced. , Standing as I do In the presence of hun dreds 4»f Gtwglans, whose muidtleent hos- iltnllty we are enjoying, who hnnotvd und Grmly living, and yever- I beg to s monument side 1 tell you that the pltflUty we loved Henry W once him dead, wreath upon It with yours nnd , of Henry Grady Is one of the proudest posM4‘Hstons not only of Atlanta a ml Geor gia, and the New Mouth he did so much to make posMIde, hut »»f the entire conn- try, from Maine to tie to the Pacific. An efficient registration bureau und a private telephone bus been Installed on the second floor. Every delegate registering is provided with a badge and nn aluminum inounteil program. An Information bureau Is on the main r and several clerks are ready to tell the delegates how to reach the points of Interest about Atlanta and furnish any information desired. Sev eral local drug and supply firms have prepared pamphlets of Interest, with lews of the city and Interesting bits f information. "Where is your city market?" asked one delegate Tuesday morning. We haven’t one," said the clerk at the information bureau. "We abolished ours a short time ago and the grocers handl? all the matket tru • * now.” "Well, I'm sorry for that.*' said the isitor. "I’ve found In ttaveling around that one can find more different types of pemle at a public market than any- re In a city. I've visited the old French maikct ct New odeum:, the ed of I lie future of the Month!

That wits the opinion of a state court. It may he argued thnt n federal Judge might have taken a contrary view. Fortunately, however, we htfVe the decision of a federal court thnt goes even farther as to some of the plans we are using thnn the New York court of npnimls. Judge Andrew M. J.

It was stated by several of the coun- climen that discrimination was shown, wittingly or unwittingly, by the com mittee. This fell as something of a bomb shell as the reason for revoking the licenses was that no partiality would be shown. . The other principal feature of inter est was the refusal of the council to allow citizens to be heard before the licenses were passed. Another point which might prove of Interest Is the fact that there will be council meeting Tuesday afternoon, and, therefore, the saloons not so for tunate as to be in the first considered batch will not be allowed to open their doors until Thursday morning. The twenty-nine liquor dealers given licenses are named as follows: The R. M. Rose Company. The Potts-Thompson Company. The Jacobs Pharmacy Company. The Thompson Liquor Company. The Atlanta Brewing and Ice Com pany. Bluthenthal & Bickart. The Lenox Distilling Company. The Carroll & Reid Co. Brannen A Anthony. I. H.

The licenses were considered at the meeting of the special committee Mon day morning, after having been select ed and advertised since Saturday. At thfe council meeting they were passed in a bunch. Didn't Hear From Ministers. Before the vote wns called for, Coun cilman Terrell moved that the rules be suspended so as to allow citizens to be heard from. Rev. Dr. John E. Whlto nnd several other members of the At lanta Ministerial Association were In the chamber awaiting tha chance to be heard from. Alderman Key objected, stating that notice had been given through the daily press to all who wished to object to the granting of the licenses nnd that the objection should have been made to the commit tee. This objection killed the motion. Councilman Martin asked what was the basis of the selections. He stated that he knew of cases where one saloon had been considered by the committee when the next door a saloon of equal repute had not been considered, gave a specific example. Chairman OIdknow, of the special committee, stated that it was impossl hie to consider all the saloons at on time and that the committee had at tempted to select tho saloons nearest the center of the block In which they were located. The Discriminations. It wns stated by councllmen that this plan had not been adhered to. Councilman Martin was asked to pro pose a better arrangement. He sug gested that It would have been better either to consider all the wholesale dealers and allow them to open nnd then take up the retail men nnd allow them all to open at the same time, or to consider the saloons by sections and allow all the liquor houses in each sec tion to open simultaneously. The vote wns then called for and the committee report adopted. At the opening of council a petition was rend from the Piedmont lodge, No. 199, Independent Order of Odd Fel lows, with headquarters at 430 1-2 Ma rietta street, which protested against the granting of llcqrses to any saloons west of Forsyth street. A petition was read from the Fulton lodge of Odd Fellows, which has a hall on Decatur street, asking that certain saloons on that street not be allowed licenses. The saloons mentioned were: M. J. Prlscock, 230 Decatur street; L. M. Porter. 232 Decatur street; M. Rai son, 24G Decatur street; 1. Sinkovitz, 252 and 234 Decatur street. The peti tion was referred to the police com mittee. Dr. White said, when Asked what ef fect the action of council would have on bringing *>ut a prohibition election: "I have attempte*! to hold down any radical movement, believing it was for the betterment of the cause; but the Dr. Qeorge Mack, who waa aiao pres ent at the meeting, said: "The more they attempt to bottle these matters up in committee, and do not allow dig cuaslon in open council, he stronger will become the prohibition sentiment r ARE CONSIDERED After an open meeting lasting about two hours and a long executive ses sion, the special committee which has under consideration the liquor licenses decided to make no report until Wed nesday morning. The committee will hold session at 9 o'clock, when all the saloons which have not come up for discussion will be passed upon and the report returned to council. The coun cil will hold session at 3 o'clock for (ho purpose of considering the reports. Although the committee gave out no report. It is understood that nearly all the saloons considered Tuesday were reported favorably, aa there were but few objections registered. The saloons taken up for considera tion were as follows: D. ii.'
