TREASURY
CANNOT BORROW
ATTY.oEN. BIRD DECLARES CON-
sTiTuTIoN FoRe,ps LOANS
SUCH AS ARE DESIRED.

LANSING. Mich, Nov. 12.--Atty..
Gen. Bird In substance has declared
unconstitutional the proposed bor-
rowing from Detroit banks to meet
current demands OF the state treas
ury until the annual taxes, due Dec. /,
pour into the treasury.
1t Is said that the required amount
may reach s1.000.O00.
While large sums were borrowed
In 1898 and 1894 under identically the
same conditions, no objection was
raised. But the fact remains that OBJ
lection could have been raised.
A particularly interesting phase of
the case az 1t stands Is that special
session OF the legislature could afford
no relief. A special session between
now and New Year, when the old
legislature goes out OF business, would
have no more constitutional right to
borrow the money needed than has
the state y treasurer. Neither would
a special session have a constitutional
right TO authorize the state treasures
to make loan for the purposes for
which the money Is now needed
A plan reported to have been sug.
gested Is for the auditor general TO
continue as usual Issuing warrants
on the state treasurer TO all persons
who present undisputed vouchers
Then let the persons receiving such
warrants present them to any one OF
the banks with which an arrangement
has been made and receive the face
value.
The banks would not be taking the
least risk. because the warrants would
be as good as gilt edge bonds. The
banks could deposit the warrants In
the state treasury and receive their
cash In January.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 12.-Before
the Indiana Bankers association,
Henry Clews. the New York banker,
declared In favor Of tariff revision.
The gist OF his argument was that
judicious lowering Of the tariff to
one OF only moderate protection,
would give American manufacturers
cheaper foreign raw materials and so
enable them to sell their products at
home and abroad lower than they
can now, as they could then compete
I'm South America and the orient with

Search in Babes 'Tummy"
For Unclasped Safety Pin
Reveals Buttons. Prune Pits

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Unexpected
complications disclosed while they
were combating menace critical In
itself. have amazed physicians who
are striving to save the life OF Angus
ia Peterson, aged two. She Is the
daughter OF T. Bon Peterson, a pri-
vate detective. living in Nostrand-
ave., Brooklyn.
Mrs. Peterson is seriously Ill, and
to cheer her the nurses led little Aug
usta to her bedside. Mrs. Peterson
saw that Augusta had a safety pin,
unclasped, in her mouth, and scream
ed. Instantly the child swallowed the
pin, and subsequent efforts to dislodge
IL were unavailing. Four experts
were summoned, and they have been
following the course Of the pin with
X-rays. They located Ii In the pit OF
the child's stomach. But the X-rays
also disclosed FIVE hard substances be-
meath the pin. which proved to be
three bone buttons and two pruhe
pits, which she had swallowed and
which apparently had given her little
II any Inconvenience.
Because of the fact that the pin Is
unclasped and attaches itself to the
intestinal tract, the physicians said
there Is little chance OF removing II
except by an operation.

reads:

of the sneers of the small men who would de-

When the returns were being received last

least interested of all in the result. After

could have stood, with steady nerve and with
cheerful heart, he was still ready to face with
the news of his defeat.

The Enemies of Prohibition

The anti prohibitionists In Geor-
gia are active in their efforts to
break and discredit our present
state prohibition law. They are
tireless, slsspless, ever on the alert
to find a weak spot and exploit it
as an Indication that the law in it's
entirety is weak and cannot be
made to stand the test OF time.
By every argument possible, by
every means that comes to their
hands, they are engaged in prosely-
ting men to their cause. In this
work they have the backing and
encouragement of practically all
the daily papers of the state.
These enemies of prohibition
would destroy the quiet, good or
der and feeling of safety on the
part of the people in what is called
the rural counties in order that
whiskey dealers might ply their
trade AMI the cities get the benefit
of license fees.
Sifted down to it's last analysis,
they offer no other argument but
that there is money in the business
for dealers and slight relief from
taxes on property held in incorpo
rated cities.
The best friends of our prOhibi
ton law never claimed that it was
perfect, but at the time of it's enact
ment it was the best that could b.
had. In spite of it's open violation
in Savannah and the other large
cities of the state, and the misera
BILE blind tigers in some of thu
counties, the law is providing
great blessing to our people. Tn
