regard to Governor Browns candi-
dacy:
Ex-Governor Brown is local OPP
ZIONIST, and may appear in the race
as new variety of that species, but
not as an effective or protective state
prohibitionist."
In regard to the needs of a straight
prohibition candidate Mr.. Query has
the following to say:
Il have hoped and still hope to be
able to espouse the candidacy of
some state prohibitionist with a rec
ord and with the unshrinking cour-
age of positive convictions. Although
the prospect at present is gloomy
state prohibitionists should reserve
and preserve their solidarity and
strength for close quarters and then
WELD them assuredlY in the right
direction.

From the Macon Telegraph.

The Marietta Journal, edited by
Josiah Carter, private secretary to
Governor Smith while he was gov
ernor and during his second cam
palgn, speaking of the approaching
contest for the uneXpired term which
Smith will leave when he goes to the
senate, says: 1T is estimated that
the legitimate expenses of the cam
paign will run from fifteen to TWEEN
ty-tive thousand dollars"
The salary of the governor is So
600 year, The new governor will
serve about one year or little over.
He will draw for his salary between
five and six thousand dollars. For
this, if Carriers estimate is correct,
he will have to expend ''for the Iegit-
innate expenses of the campaign be-
tween fifteen and twenty-five thous-
and dollars -
If this is true it is time some re-
trenchment or reform was instituted
by the people themselves.
1t is said that the first and second
traces made by Hoke Smith cost him
and his hackers a great deal of mon
ey. Since those days the law requires
a statement to be made and publish
ed of the expense account of candi-
datss. The campaign last year cost
Mr.. Smith, according to his state
ment 1--WE quote from memory
$4,000 in round numbers. 1t cost
| Brown in round numbers $4,000.
Was Brown defeated, therefore, be-
cause he did not have between fiji
teen and twenty-five thousand dol
lars" for Legitimate expenses?"
If all this is true is it not also
true that the high price for the gov
ernorship same with the reform
movement?
The gOyernorship cost neither
Gordon, nor Colquitt, nor Stephens
nor Mcdaniel, nor Northen, nor At
kinson, nor Gambler, nor Terrell any
such figure-nor any other governor
Georgia ever had.
Some of Governor Browns politi
cal opponents have been figuring re

candidate Of course, they have

sought for sinister reasons, because
they believe he is going to be a
candidate when there is a vacancy
announced, and they want to embar-
rass him all they can. One of the
reasons assigned is that he is wait
ing for the appearance of a campaign
fund; and they know that he is
not a rich man and that he contrib
uted out of his own pocket nearly
all of the $4,000 fund last year.
If Gov Smiths late private secre-
tary knows it is fact that it will
take between fifteen and twenty-five
thousand dollars for the Legitimate"
expenses of a short term campaign,
and if this information has been COM
municated to the said ex-secretarys
most distinguished feIlow-citizen
and neighbor, Governor Brown, we
would not wonder that he hesitates
if, in fact, he ever contemplated
making an announcement of his
candidacy before the time when he
will announce.
If Governor Brown runs land he
wild he will rely on the people MAX
ing favorable verdict without a
large money stimulant.
If, on the other hand, it is going
to prove true that it will require four
or five times the amount of the sal
airy to be elected governor in Geor-
gia the whole thing will have to be
abandoned to the rich, and it will
end after while in revolution.

ormation like this movement and
that it will surpass the crusades OF
history. 1t is to differ from all pre-
vious religious crusades in that the
supreme effort will be to take the
church to the people rather than the
people to the church; it will be char
acterized by spirit of broad HUI
mainly and by personal contact OF
the workers with those needing up
lift rather than by mere preaching
of the gospel to thousands.
A dinner given to thirty trained
church workers by James G. Cannon
vice president of the Fourth National
Bank and chairman of the move
ment, marked the beginning of act
ual effort. this week, which is being
furthered by the Men and Religion
Forward Movement. According to
reports of Henry Rood, representa-
tive of the new movement, the cam
paign outlined in the 76 principal
cities and the 1900 smaller places
will reach 100000 church-going
people in the United States and Can
ada. Unlike most religious move
ments the new project will be free
from sectarianism.
Now, with the preliminary plans
practically completed, there are more
than 5000 prominent men in this
country and Canada actively engaged
in the cause, The Men and Relig-
ion Forward Movement Special at
tention is to be given to christianiz-
ing the boyhood of the two countries,
especially those in the lowlier walks
of life who have either started to so
wrong by petty offending or who
merely need guiding hand to keep
them in the right path.
While these gigantic plans are
about to come into being there sits
on the veranda of a sanitarium in
the Adirondacks Harry Arnold lay
man, in whose mind the plan origi-
mated, i'll with lung trouble and una
BILE to take even the smallest part
in the work. Mr.. Arnold conceived
this great religious move while asso-
ciated with the work of the Young
Mems Christian Association and in
furtherance of the plan called sew
eral meetings of the heads of the
organization. All of them discour-
aged the ideas as being so stupen-
dous as to be impracticable, but final
ly he enlisted the aid of Frederick
B. Smith, a religious worker of note,
and through him reached with his
idea practically all of the leaders of
the Protestant faiths in North Amer
lea and work was begun.

PATCH FROM ROYsTON.
J. Pope Brown Was Recently

p,obibition Advocate Now.


=. Local Option, and Is Only Mild
Prohibition Advocate Now.
MACON. Ga.-Asserting that the
scratches out of Royston, published
rarious papers, quoting from let
:. no wrote to a friend there, anent
no state political situation, partic-
,lorIv in regard to his possible can
,iaocv misquoted him to a great
rtort DUPONT Guerry has given
.oios of the original letter to the
press
The Royston dispatch went on to
..v that Mr.. Query referred to the
u,nnnfngness of the Whiskey spider, "
os evident in the present campaign
and that he referred to Joseph NJ.
Brown as the probable candidate of
an "unholy alliance.
He made no such reference to Gov.
prown. but hes says he doubts J Pope
BROWN being a sincere prohibitionist,
and refers to the time in recent years
when that gentleman was candi-
date for governor as local optionist
and afterwards supported another
1ocal option candidate.
The main point brought out in his
letter is that the prohibitionists of
reorgfa are in need Of a candidate
for governor; that not any of the
candidates in the field now are the
ones to be supported by the voters
gbo wish to see the prohibition law
enforced.
Pope Brown a Local Optionist.
In this connection Mr. Guerry
says:
ut is my recollection that when
vas candidate in 1902 on state
Prohibition platform the Hon. Pope
Brown was a candidate on a local
option platform, and that when he
retired from the race he supported
Colonel Estill of Savannah, although
the latter was an outspoken local
optiOnist.
Recently he declined to declare
one way or the other on the question
Of state prohibition until Judge Rus
sell declared for local option, and
then according to the newspapers)
saying in effect and somewhat COM
DLiningly that Judge Russell had
forced the issue and he therefore de-
cared for state prohibition.
In view of his record and pres
fnt attitude ! fear he cannot make
us as strong and positive a champion
ot state prohibition, either in the
campaign or in office, as the situation
demands"

Justice Harlan Raps
 Again Supreme Court
 In Standard Oil Case
(contiued from Page 1.)

Summing up, Harland declared that the court should have immediately fn- structed attorneys who argued the reasonable" construction in the Stan dard Oil case, that such a construc- ton was not open to argument, hav- cisions and that they would have to 20 to Congress for any change.
 "But,'' he said, "my breathren. in their wisdom, have deemed it best to pursue a different course. They have now said to those who condemn our former decisions and who object to all legislative prohibition of contracts in restraint of commerce, You may now restrain such commerce, provided you are reasonable about it. Despite the contrary views of the defendants have strong conviction that the dis position of the case will throw the business of the country into confusion and invite litigation, the injurious eff fects of which will be felt for many years to come.
 .'I said at the outset that the action of the court in this case might well alarm thoughtful men who revere the constitution. I meant by this that many things are intimated and said in the courts opinion which will not be regarded otherwise than as sane tioning an invasion by the judiciary of
  -an attempt by interpretation to soften or modify what some regard as a harsh public policy.
 "The courts have nothing to do with the wisdom or policy of an act of Congress. They have no function to declare a public policy nor to amend legislative enactments. Nevertheless, if I do not misapprehend its opinion. the court has now read into the act of Congress words which are not to be found there and has thereby done that which it adjudged, in 1896 and 1898. could not be done without violating the constitution.
 After many years of public ser vice at the national capitol and after a somewhat close observation of the conduct of public affairs, I am in- pelled to say that there is abroad in our land 8 most harmful tendency to bring about the amending of constitu- tions and legislative enactments by means alone of judicial construction.
 1.-The supreme law of the land. which is binding alike upon all, upon Pres idents, Congresses, the courts and the people--gives to Congress, and to Con- gress alone, authority to regulate in terstate commerce and when Congress forbids ANY restraint of such com merce in any form, all must obey it's mandate. To overreach the action of Congress merely by judicial construc- tion, that is, by indirection, is a blow at the integrity of our governmental system and in the end will prove most dangerous to all."

Again Seeks To
 Move Saloon To
 Railroad Avenue
Burns Undismayed by One Buffet from Court Ap- plies Again for Same Building.

Although the superior court held that the location at $50 Railroad ave- nue is unsuitable for a saloon, John J. Burns has just filed an application for the transfer of a license to 834 Railroad avenue, which is in the same building with $50. Manufacturers and large property owners in the West End today filed a remonstrance with the county commissioners. They are indignant at Burns persistent efforts to locate a saloon in that vicinity.
 Among those who have signed the remonStrance are the Bridgeport Co.,, the Bridgeport Deoxi- dized Bronze Co.,, the Berkshire Fer tilizer Co.,, N. Palmer & Co., and the Barnum estate. James A. Turner and William R. Haberlin, who represent property owners in the neighborhood, are also objecting. Judge Frank L.. Wilder represents the renonstrants.
 Burns is at present doing business at Railroad avenue and Garden street. He sought permission to transfer the license to $50 Railroad avenue and the county commissioners grant, ed it. Thereupon the remonstrants appealed to the superior court and Judge Reed after inspecting the premises decided the location unsuit- able.
