The market reports assert that none but
the packers appear to purchase cattle and
hogs at the stockyards. Why should others,
who have not the facilities for slaughtering
and shipping meat, go into the markets to
bid against those who have? The con-
trolling of the large packers will not
change the conditions so that lot of small
concerns will go into the business. 1t

A New York paper suggests that New
England abandoned farms be utilized for
cattle raising. thus enabling that region
70 be less at the mercy OF Western beef
dealers. The idea would be n good one
but for the unfortunate fact that cattle
require good grass crop. and good grass
requires soil OF reasonable depth and
richness. Just now New York is agitated
because OF the discovery that the soil of
Central Park is too thin for the trees and
shrubbery. Central Park is OF the same
rocky formation as a large part of New
England. Is there any reason to suppose
that land which won't raise trees will raise
cattle?

LOCAL OPTION.
IL Makes Good Showing as Com
pared with Prohibition.


Atlanta Constitution
In the political columns Of the Constitu-
ton this morning appears a card from
Colonei g r. Pringle president OF the
Georgia Prohibition Association, in which
the nomination of one aspirant for the
governorship OF the State is urged on the
ground that lit means forward movement
for prohibition" while his defeat would
mean more barrooms. more crimes and
murders, more ruined boys and more bro
ken-hearted mothers"

The issue as presented to the people
of Georgia in the present campaign is
clear and unmistakable. 1t is whether
they will adopt the political policy of an
attempt at total prohibition of the liquor
traffic by state legislative Fundamentally

communities that do not want the law
and will be averse to it's enforcement
or will adhere to the present policy of local
option, whereunder the traffic may be pro-
hibited and the prohibition forced by the
local ma jority.
On that proposition Colonel Pringle states
conclusions that are not tenable The issue
is really the very reverse Of his statement

lamentable opposite For il is the defeat OF

Looking at those figures, no sane man
needs a labored argument 10 convince him
that local option in Georgia has achieved
better results by far than state prohibition
istent. And If state prohibition should
serve Georgia as IL serves Maine and Kan
sas IL would give us three and four times
more barrooms' OF the blind tiger breed in
Georgia than we now have.
There is unbroken and unimpea enable
testimony in statistics and official history
that state prohibition brings in its train

of officials, frauds and hypocrisies innu-

crime and poverty.
