be elected and no legislature can De elected that will favor the modifica- ton of these laws until they have first been put in operation and thoroughly tested. This means, therefore, that the laws which are pronounced uncon- stitutional will stand until 1915, which is good ways ahead. Herein is where the railroads have made a mistake. They should have accepted every law, for the best way to repeal bad law is confessedly found in it's thorough execution. The railroads in Ohio and in several other states have adopted this policy, and the railroads that en- ter Alabama should have done like wise.

lieerqia is Going Dry

The Georgia senate passed last week the amended Hardman bill. This bill provides:
 1. That the act shall go into effect on January 1, 1908.
 2. Prohibits the sale, barter or giv. ing away of intoxicants in any form to induce trade.
 8. Prohibits the manufacture or keeping at any place of business any beverage that will produce intoxica- jon.
 4. Provides as punishment for vio- lation in any particular; that offenders shall be punished as for a misde- meanor as prescribed in section 1898 of the penal code of Georgia.
 5. Permits licensed druggists to sell alcohol only on prescriptions of reputable physicians, who are actually in charge of the patient for whom the alcohol is intended, and who must cer- 1 tify that an actual examination has been made and that the stimulant is necessary. The same punishment for violations as above.
 6. Licensed druggists may sell wood alcohol or denatured alcohol for art, scientific or mechanical purposes, The vote in the senate was 34 yeas and ' nays. and it is believed the vote in the lower house will be equally one- sided. The Hardman bill is more drastic than the orig.nal Maine liquor law or the most stringent law that Kansas has ever had. It will put Geor- gia at the very head of prohibition states. Local option by counties has, however rendered nearly all of the south nearly as "dry" as Georgia will be under the Hardman law.
 Some nice questions will arise un- der the Hardman law in Georgia as to what beverages induce intoxication and what do not. Hopiack and sev- eral other so-called soft" drinks will 1 assllrredly encounter the ordeal of a jury trial.

PROSPERITY TO CONTINUE

, ing the capital outlays to the supply, or from any of the other influences which will probably cause the rate of growth for time to diminish, will be of quite a temporary character. In brief, we look
 for the rate of expansion merely to mod
 crate until after the next presidential
 election. when 1t will probably again be- come as great as 1t has been In recent
 years.
 The prosperity of the railways of the United States has never been greater
 than it is today. Indeed. the railways are
 suffering from an excess of good fortune,
 the growth of their traffic Having ex-
 ceeded the expectations of the most san
 guine, and the volume of their business having leaped beyond the capacity Of
 their facilities. Hence their traffic is in- volving them In excessive operating ex-
 pense. It will, of course be realized that
 the problem of how to find capital with
 which to obtain the needed facilities for
 dealing with the traffic pressed upon them
 is very different one from that of finding traffic with which to provide return
 upon large amount of capital expended
 for railway construction and equipment.
 and we do not doubt that capital will be
 provided either by the people of the
 United States or by the investors of Flu rope, or by both.
 1 Indeed, we look forward to large capi- tai outlays by American railways, and to the provision of facilities which will en- able them to deal economically and ex- peditiously with a volume of traffic which
 in a few years time will greatly exceed the existing volume.
 The only matter in which we are In doubt Is whether 1t is possible for the traffic of the railways of the United States to attain ten years hence to twice the volume of existing traffic, or whether the growth will be nearer to 50 per cent than 100 per cent in the next decade. On the whole, we are inclined
 to favor the view that before another ten years are over the volume of traffic trans portd by the railways of fhe United States will again double just as it has doubled hitherto.
