know what the president intends doing
with the measure, but inasmuch as he
has ten days in which to decide, the
longer he puts off signing it, the better
the veto bet grows.
He is being besieged in both direc-
| tions, SO it is said-vehemently and vo-
ctferously III one, quietly and in Il re-
pressed fashion in the other
If the president signs the bill, it will
go to the supreme court eventually for
interpretation. Its enemies in congress
argue that it is unconstitutional. It's
friends commended that if congress had
the right TO stop the interstate traffic in
lottery tickets, it has the right to stop
the interstate liquor traffic.
The answer to the last is that con-
gress, by it's revenue laws. distinctly
and Enthusiastically recognizes the liquor
traffic as legitimate, whereas it never
has extended such recognition to the
lottery business.
These anti Webbites put liquor, so
far as the governments attitude to-
ward the traffic therein is concerned, in
TIE same CLASS as lODdttO.
Georgia prohibitionists have long
contended that the protecting hand Of
the Federal government alone stands
between them and a perfect enforce
ment of the state prohibition laws.
They holland with u show OF logic
and fairness hard to dispute-that the
prohibition law, so long as 1t is the
law, is entitled to q square deal and an
opportunity to show what it can ac-
complish.
Therefore, their demand that the
Federal government keep hands off for
time, in order that prohibition may
have its complete opportunity, i'm
presses many people as reasonable and
right
1t is evident enough, however, that
the law will go to the supreme court,
unless President Taft disposes of 1t
within the next few days by vetoing it,
Senator Hoke Smith will undertake.
in the next congress, to procure an
amendment to the national banking
laws, permitting national banks to loan
money on real estate.
The senator already has introduced
such an amendment in the present con-
gress, but will make no attempt to get
action upon it until the next congress
has been assembled
Bankers generally approve of this
measure, and ordinary citizens never
have understood clearly what purpose
the government had in mind when the
prohibition against real estate loans
originally was set up.
The only reason given is that ma
tional banks We're not designed to ac-
cept collateral that could not be imme-
diately realized upon in case of for
feiture-and that real estate collateral
did not come within the purpose of the
act, for that reason.
Nowadays, however. real estate
loans may be made with perfect safety,
so far as the quick conversion of the
collateral into money is concerned
and many national banks particularly
in the South, where real estate loans
are most numerous. evade the law in
one way and another and make real
estate loans. anyway.
Senator Smith thinks his bill will
pass congress with little difficulty. and

Editor Pleasant A. Stovall, of Sa-

Wilson, and complimentary notices and
suggestions of cabinet preference un-
der President Wilson.
The inside cover displays a hand
some and engaging likeness Of Mr.. Sto-
VAIL which is equally as convincing as
the reading matter.
With respect to the cabinet sugges-
tons therein contained, the book is elo-
quently silent as TO Mr. StOvalTs own
views. Presumably, however, the idea
is that 'Barllis is willing"
And, for that matter, why should not

The recorder of the city recently has

mination to send all others convicted
before him the same way.
Rome has insisted upon the rigid en-
forcement of the laws against tigers
so persistently that there now are no
tigers in Rome's midst-and Way

road
After all, perhaps, "the way to en-
