High license or prohibition appears
to be rapidly becoming an issue in At
Ianta. The city council passed an
ordinance fixing a whiskey license at
81. 600 and a beer license at $500, and
Mayor Woodward vetoed it. The or
dinance also provides for restricting
thenumber of licenses that may be is
sued, the restriction being in accord
aace with the number of inhabitants
The reasons the mayor gives for his
veto are that the wiser plan is to let
we'll enough alone, that if the high
license system is adopted the retail
liquor business will pass into the
hands of a few wealthy whiskey men,
that if that condition of affairs comes
about all of the small whiskey deal
ers and their patrons and friends will
Join the prohibitionists in demanding
a prohibition election, and that the
chances are that Atlanta would De-
come a prohibition town
There is, of course, force in the ar
gument that the mayor advances, Out
if the high license ordinance were
adopted would the prohibitionists in
sist upon a prohibition election That
is a question on which there seems
TO be a difference of opinion. NO
doubt some of the prohibitiOnists,
those of the radical type, thinking that
having gained so much they could
gain everything for which they con-
tend, would demand absolute prohibi-
ton, but it is doubtful if they could
get the assistance of the conservative
element in the prohibition ranks The
conservatives would prefer to see
what advantage accrued to the city
from high license before demanding
anything further in the direction OF
prohibition
The mayor is positive in his belief
that the saloons had nothing what
ever TO do with bringing about the
September riot, and he seems to think
that the law-abiding part OF the COM
munity have no ground for complaint
against the saloons as they are oper-
ated under the existing law. There
is, of course, a difference of opinion
in respect to that matter; besides,
there are many citizens against the
present ordinance. and in favor OF
the ordinance that has been vetoed,
because they are afraid that a pro
hibition election will be forced on the
city unless the vetoed ordinance is
adopted
The charge which the mayor has
made against certain members of the
council, the charge that they accepted
fees from liquor men to represent
them before the license committee,
complexities the situation, but doesn't
change the issue in any respect 1t
really looks as If the vetoed ordinance
W0Uld no 2d0ntod pvonfuaIIv and that
the $4,000 license would be given
trial before there is a genuine attempt
to make Atlanta a dry" town.

It's attempts at Cancellation, the French
government might have dealt a little
more gently with the great, historic
institution which has been bound I'D
so much with the national life of the
French people. 1t might have been
possible to have negotiated more di-
rectly with the Vatican in the matter
And yet the real issue is not whether
the church shall or shall not accept
certain form of organization in its
purely material affairs. The form
to which it now objects in France is
practically the same as that which
ii has long accepted, and that under
which it has enjoyed and is enjoying
today great freedom and prosperity
in other lands. The real question is
whether in France, where the church
was long superior to the state, the
church shall now be subject to the
civil power. Some years ago very
much the same issue was fought out
between the state and the army. 1t
was a bitter fight, and it threatened
the stability of the republic, but in
the end the republic won, and won

whether the authority at Rome, which

PENSACOLA Is
AFTER FRANCHISE
IN THE COTTON STATES LEAGUE
ACCORDING TO STORY FROM
MOBILE.

According to parties who visited
Mobile from this city. Pensacola is
after a franchise in the Cotton States
League The Mobile papers of re-
cent date contained articles relative
to what was being done in Pensacola
towards securing a franchise in the
league, but If there is any effort be-
ing made here towards this end 1t is
not known among baseball enthus-
lasts.
The Mobile Item OF recent date con-
tanned the following on this subject:
From an interview with a Pensa-
cola business man, formerly OF Mo-
bile and visiting here for the holidays,
it is learned that a strong effort Is
under way to secure a Cotton States
League franchise for that city.
While Pensacola has for a number
of years been without representation
in any league, the desire for a good
team has not died out and today is
stronger than ever and with a fair
prospect of the repeal of the a5horred
Sunday baseball law at this session OF
the Florida legislature, the advocates
of the great American pastlme have
taken new courage and are deternin-
team to properly represent their rap
idly growing city.
"A stock company with ample CAPT.
tai is now in process of formation and
application will be promptly made for
the Cotton States League franchise
as soon as the preliminary details are
sufficiently advanced
They will have representatives
with the strongest of credentials in
attendance at the next meeting of the
league, which holds in Mobile in Feb
ruary, and expect TO make such a
showing as will force the recognition
of the merits Of their city.
The geographical location of Pen
sacola in connection with the public
support available should make il a
desirable and more than ordinarily
strong member of the league

THE LEGALITY OF
AN INCOME TAX
Birmingham Age-Herald.
@@@&@@& &&&@&@ q

President Roosevelts proposal of an
income tax has been singularly well
received in both parties, among the
rich as well as the poor 1t is remark
ably popular, and fully 80 per cent OF
the people in the country stand ready
to endorse it.
But would such tax be declared
Observation-Disclosures the rub.
When the law of 1Sy- came before
the United States supreme court, Chief
Justice Fuller and Justices Brewer,
Gray and Field voted to declare it IN
constitutional, while Justices Harlan,
White, Brown and ShiTas voted the
other way. Justice Jackson of Nash
vile was ill. The case was reheard
when Justice Jackson was well enough
to take his seat, and he voted to de-
clare the law constitutional, but in
the meanwhile Justice Shiras had gone
over to the capitalistic side, and the
vote of the court stood five to four
in favor of unconstitutionality. OF the
nine members of the court that time
four remain-Chief Justice Fuller and
Justice Brewer. who said the law Was
unconstitutional, and Justices Harlan
and White who said it was cOnstitu-
tional. The new members of the
court are Justices Peckham. McKen-
ma, Holmes, Day and Moody. The
chances are fTst-rate that at least
three of the five would vote in favor
of the constitutionality of an income
tax-possibly all five, because public
sentiment leans strongly that way at
present. A retrial of the question
seems desirable at any rate.
Up to the five-by-four decision the
supreme court had held, all the way
from 1894, that the phrase direct
taxes" in the constitution was con-
fined to poll taxes and direct taxes
on land, building and personal estate
Until Shiras whipped over to the other
side no one had considered an income
tax a direct tax. The income tax of
the civil war period was not consid-
cred a direct tax. The Shiras fop
changed the course of the decisions.
In order to inspire respect in the SUI
preme court another decision on this
question is needed-one in which
public sentiment will have weight as
well as 1.-The interests" Outside of
the presidents proposal the general
situation calls for anothed review of
the problem by the highest court in
the land.

Teddy's Anaora Cats.

The president stood at the barnyard
fence,
And called to the neighbours brats,
And his voice was tense with an an
Xious tone;
Has anybody seen our cats?
I hear that pussies are friendly
beasts,
And go for neighborly chats,
And therefore I'm moved to come and
ask,
Has anybody seen our cats?
They said that Angora kittens were
Accustomed to live in flats;
But now that these brutes have run
away
HAS anybody seen our cats2
Don't talk of troubles-Ive had 'em
all,
From congress to diplomats;
And talk about Christmas presents
please
Has ANYBODY seen our cats2'

port will be cannot be forecasted.

ginning, and if followed I'D in tie

knowledge. which is good deal bet

In view of the fact that the Wash

the governor was right in the asser-
tons he made during the recent cam
