SENTIMENT IS
MORE STRONGLY
FOR EXHIBITION
Confidence Is Expressed That
Manufacturers Will Endorse
Plan at Coming Dinner.

Atlanta manufacturers are ex-
pected, one week from Tuesday,
to give definite answer to the
question:
do you want a permanent
exhibit of your productsY"
The question will be asked and
the answer given at a dinner to
be held on the night Of June "A,
for which it is believed several
hundreds of plates will be taken.
Brooks Morgan will at this
gathering submit several definite
proposals from owners of build
ings. Any of them is attractive,
it is said, and it is only a ques-
ton of location if the manufac-
turers want the exhibit.
1t is hoped to start with not
less than 10000 or $4,000 square
feet of floor space engaged, and
with not fewer than 100 ex-
hibitors.
There is every reason to be-
ieve the plan will be adopted
and carried on to successful
elimination.
So much attention has been direct
ed to ChattanoOga's experience that
another fine example of the benefits
of a permanent exhibit has been over
looked by many OF the men inter-
ested.
New Ravens Experience.
New Haven, Conn. has a perma-
nent display which opened May 10,
1912 II occupies a two-story build
ing fronting several hundred feet on
a principal street.
New Haven, by the 1910 census,
had a population Of 13S,605. some
thing short of Atlanta's population.
But its manufacturers are progress
sive and alert. They determined that
the expense was as nothing, compar-
ed to the benefits of such a display.
So now, In the home OF Eli Whit
ney and Goodyear, there is a show
of seventy odd lines of manufacture,
from rifles Of G famous brand, to
rubber coats, from buttons to door
locks.
Proves Commercial value,
The exhibit was started with a view
70 the civic advantages il promised,
the advertisement of New Haven as
a city Of diversified activity. 1t has
proved its value commercially, how
ever, and now IS regarded as a most
valuable adjunct TO the work Of the
manufacturers.
1t has. they claim, aided greatly in
their sales and In their campaign Of
publicity.
A handsome booklet describes the
exhibit and depicts many Of its eN-
hlbts. The book is being studied
eagerly by Atlantans interested in the

A Good Democratic
Measure

A measure pending in congress and
giving to the states absolute power over
the shipment of liquor is good and ought
10 be enacted into law. II is called the
Kenyon-Sheppard bill and proceeds upon
sound democratic theory. Long ago Mr.
Bryan favored such measure, and in
The Commoner, April p, 1910 he wrote
an editorial, in which he said:
Interstate commerce is used to over,
ride state laws. What democrat is will
ing TO put himself on record against the
proposition that the right Of the people
of state 10 control the liquor traffic is
more sacred than the right OF liquor
dealers TO dispose of their product in dry
territory and in violation of the law9
Mr.. Bryan believes that congress should
pass law recognizing the right Of each
state TO prescribe the conditions upon
which Intoxicating liquors can be trans
ported, sold and used within its borders.
He also believes that the federal govern
ment should dissolve partnership with
law breakefs and no longer issue licenses
for the sale of liquor in communities
where local laws prohibit its sale. If it
is thought unconstitutional to discrimin-
ate, in the issue of licenses between diff
erent communities, the same end can be
reached by reducing the license to anom-
inal figure and requiring the applicant
for a federal license to give written no
tice to the local public of his intention to
apply for a license. Now let those who
oppose these propositions meet them
with arguments. THE Commoner.

STATE TO FIGHT
DAMAGE CLAIMS
ISt. Marys Leader

n. ]. Weiisend, an assistant in the
Attorney-General's S Office, II. w. Mea-
cham, assistant superintendent of public
works, and Chas. II. Nauts, canal super
intendent were in St. Marys Monday
for the purpose OF gathering data to be
used in hearing before q commission
to Rockford on Tuesday in which a num-
Der of land owners of that locality have
filed claims against the state agregating
$50, 900 for damage done to their crops
during July, 1912, by reason of an over
flow of the ST. Marys river, alleged by
the claimants TO have been caused by the
wasting of surplus water from the reser-
voir into the stream. The state is pre-
pairing to present a vigorous defense to
this charge of responsibility for the
flood, basing its case upon the conten-
ton that the flood was the natural result
of an unusually heavy rainfall during
that period and the further claim that
during this particular time the only out
let from the reservoir was through a
thirty inch sewer which supplied scarce
" sufficient water with which to operate
the canal. Reference to rainfall records
in this vicinity, reveal, it is said, that
the precipitation registered six inches
during the food period which the state
claims would have been sufficient to
create flood from natural causes. The
state also attributes the unusual high wa
ter at that time to the dredging of Muddy
Creek and other streams emptying into
the river south of St. Marys.

threats, and by claiming that the deed

Ben Brunswick, living on the Zenz

week via diamond pin route.
He observed two we'll dressed men in
front of his house looking carefully for
something. Brunsewick's curiosity was
aroused and they told him they had lost
a diamond pin worth $1,000.
They continued to search for it, the
farmer assisting, until dark, when they
drove away, telling Mr. Brunswick that
in the event he found the pin they
would give him $500, depositing the
money for him at Celina, to be turned
over to him when he produced the pin.
Next morning hobo showed up at the
Brunswick home asking for hand-out.
Mr.. Brunswick saw the tramp pick up
some object in the road and silly conceal
it in an inside pocket of his ragged coat.
The hobo admitted that he had found
a pin" Brunswick offered the tramp
ten dollars for the pin, but the hobo as
sumed a wise look and refused it.
Brunswick finally offered him 500, and
the tramp" took it, shambling off down
the road. Brunswick went to Celina to
collect his $500, and found no money,
and the pin to be worth about IS cents.
