Georsia's Cry For Factories.

There Is no more radical advocate of free
trade in the South Atlantic states than
the Atlanta Constitution. Although it
only, involving an income tax for the sup
port Of the government, is as near as we
may now approach to free trade, still the
Constitution has described that doctrine
as GLORIOUS" because it is British.
Unconsciously, the same newspaper has
suddenly reversed its attitude In double
loaded editorial 1t calls upon every citizen
of Atlanta to attend a mass meeting for
the increase of manufactures, and says:
The future of Atlanta depends in very
large degree upon manufactures. How we
can best encourage enterprise of this sort
is question which should enlist the best
thought of our people.
This sounds more like Pennsylvania
than Georgia. The Constitution goes on
to recommend the formation of a CO opera
tive industrial association, with stock dis
tributed among thousands of small hold
ers. The resulting increase Of manufac-
lures would, il predicts, bring to Atlanta
capital skilled labor and large increase
Of population. This, doubtless, is all true,
and we wish Atlanta and its manufactures
all the prosperity which will result from
protection to American industry and cap
ital, protection equal In Georgia and in
every New England and Middle state. But
tariff for revenue only and an income tax
will not aid the development Of manufact-
ures In Atlanta when the mere threat of
these Democratic schemes discourages in
dustries in the north. BY all means distri-
butte stock in the proposed industrial asso-
citation among as many thousands of the
citizens Of Georgia Ms can pay for 1t. Hold
ers of that stock will not vote for free
trade.

MAY NOT GET A DECISION
Rumor That Supreme Court viii mol
Consider House Questions
FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
The 'Rumor Fills the Democrats with
Anguish-Counsei on Both sides Have
Prepared voIuminous Briefs Which
VIII be Filed on Friday.

By mutual agreement OF the counsel
representing the governor aud senate on
one side, and the house on the other, the
supreme court will be asked to reserve
until August 12 its decision regarding the
constitutionality of the act of the senate
In refusing to 40 into grand committee
and the prorogatioa or the assembly by
the governor.
This request is based upon the fact that
n majority Of the members Of the General
Asse N bly, are away from home at present
and desire that the opinion of the court
be not given until they get together
again.
Arthur L. Brown, representing the house
and Benjamin M. Bosworth, for the gov
ernor and senate. have prepared vol
luminous briefs, setting for h the argu-
ments of their respective sides, which
will be presented to the supreme cour
next Friday.
An Interesting Rumor.
There is we'll authenticated rumor
afioat emanating from certain members
of the bar who claim t., stand very close
20 the court, that the nigh tribunal will
refuse to interfere in the struggle and
will allow the General Assembly to fight
it out among It's own members.
This action ofthe court, It Is said is
due to the fact that the court does not
believe that it's jurisdiction extends to
such questions.
The result OF such decision would be
a permanent hold.ov for Governor
Brown since the house would be power
less to whip the Senate into grand COM
mittee.
The Democrats are aware that their
only hope lies in getting the court to
consider the case and for that reason the
mere possibility that the court may
refuse to do so fills them with anguish
and despair.
