MEASURING JUSTICE
IN BROYLES' COURT

Has Recorder Nash Broyles violated the
public drinking cup law?
This question was raised by court at
taches today when the recorder announced
from the bench:

spoon in this court"

marshars office, failed to appear and an
sweT charge preferred against him by
a taNicab driver early this morning.
When Manley offered the driver so cents
for long drive and refused to pay the
full demands of the driver, the latter
drove him to the police station. Judge
Broyles ordered Manley rearrested and
brought to court, remarking:
mo matter If he is city official. he
must appear just like any one else. Every
one must drink out of the same spoon in
this court"

Liquor Men at Sea
Over Effect of Law

say they do not know the result of the
law will he
Mike O'Grady, of the Wakeman Distill-

houses in Chattanooga, gave out the
following interview today:
Il believe the law will result in the re-
peal of the prohibition laws in "a good

bitionist discovers it will cut off his IL
quor. he naturally will vote for the repeal
of the prohibition laws
Personally believe that when prohibi-
ton laws are enacted, they should make
it crime for the fellow who drinks as
much as for the man who sells. SO long
as men persist in drinking, it acts as an
incentive for other men to sell"

Georgia WhirIWind" Sees VIC
tory for Prohibition in Con-
gresS for First Time.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 11.-Mrs Mary
Harris Armor, the Georgia whirwind," J."
is the happiest woman in Washington
today.
Unremitting work on her part for a
year was rewarded by the passage yes
terday through congress of the bill pro-
hibitlng the shipping of liquor for ille-
gal purposes into dry states.
Success came when the senate passed
the Webb bill as a substitute for the
Kenyon Sheppard measure. The bill
now goes to the president for approval.
Mrs. Armor has labored indefatigably
for the passage of such measure. She
has addressed senate and house COM
mittees time and again and has never
cea sed in her effort to convert unwill-
ing congressman to support Of her
cause.
Mrs. Armor said, after the passage of
the bill:
"Georgians must not expect too much
of this measure. 1t simply makes pos
sible a stricter enforcement of our own
laws against the illegal sale of liquor.
If We haven't got the grace, grit and
gumption to enforce those laws, the bill
passed today will not be of much use
to us
But l am so filled with JOY and
could sing Glory Hallelujah, fo It is
the first time congress has helped us to
restrict the sale of liquor, We are
going 70 keep up the fight until this
whole nation is under the temperance
laws and liquor is barred from inter-
state commerce"
Doesn't Affect Personal Use.
Senator Bacon, who made a favora-
bic report from the senate Judiciary
committee on the Kenyon Sheppard bill
of similar import said:
"A great many people have misun-
derstood the functions of this bill. 1t
does not affect any person who de-
sides TO have liquor shipped him for a
legitimate purpose, but is only intended
TO prevent the delivery of liquor intend
ed to be used to break the laws of the
state
1T is states rights bill. 1t simply
gives to each state the right to enforce
its own laws against those who would
violate them"
The Webb bill would prohibit ship
ments of intoxicating liquors from one
state to another when intended to be
received or sold in violation of the law
of the state to which the shipment is
made.
Tennesseean Aids Bill.
Senator Webb, of Tennessee. made
his maiden speech in favor of the bill
Men, cattle and sheep are stopped at
state lines when they threaten to bring
disease with them, so why not stop in
toXicating liquors." he asked.
He said Tennessee, in excluding Ii
quor had followed the example Of SEN
ators and representatives in excluding
the great evil" from the capitol. anG
asked that Tennessee be permitted to
continue its course by the aid Of the

The new senator said it was a proud
day when he could fight with Kansas

Sometimes the automobile spun it's
