BEST WAY IS TO PROHIBIT
People Never Go Right Until They
Have Tried All the Ways of Going
Wrong, Says Spencer.

Herbert Spencer once said, People
never go right until they have tried
all the ways of going wrong" ! think
this truism is more perceptibly shown
in the various methods men have tried
in dealing with the liquor problem
than in any other way. They have
tried the unrestricted sale, and the
regulated sale. They have tried low
license, and high license. They have
tried the segregation of the sale to
restricted areas. They have tried the
dispensary. They have tried every
thing in the hope of making the sa-
loon acceptable to the better class of
people. And now, they are trying to
reform 1t!
We Of the southland, along with
thousands of the best people north and
west and east, decided long ago that
the best method of dealing with the
liquor traffic is to prohibit it, just as
we believe that the best method of
dealing with theft and arson and MUIR
der is to prohibit these evils.-Silena

SPECIAL SESSION
Of! LEG|SLL AZURE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY CoNvENES ON
SEPTEMBER 8.
Bars Down For Bills-15O Local Bills
and Fifty of General Nature,
Liquor Bills Will Face
Big Fight.

Nashville,-The general assembly will
meet in extra session Monday, Sept. 8,
at p. m, Gov Hooper having issued
his call.
The call includes some $50 local bills
and upward of fifty general bills, break
ing all records for the mass of legisla.
tion to be considered by special ses-
sion. In fact, the bars have practically
been let down on the scope of legisla-
ton except that matters of nature to
bring on bitter fight have in the main
been omitted.
Among the general bills included in
the call are; Appropriation bills, six
measures to bring about enforcement
of the prohibition laws, anti-pass bill,
to provite state laboratory, to amend
the assessment law by reducing tho
grounds of back assessment, and four
general enabling bills, empowering towns
to adopt commission government, use
abutting property, issue municipal i'm.
provement bonds, and counties to issue

tive authority, and bill to authorize
each county to have an attorney to APP
pear in ex parte divorce cases.
The governor sidestepped the assess
ment bill, not including it in the call,
but he suggested certain amendments to
the back tax and assessment laws. He
also left out the Memphis crossing bills
and the Chattanooga Broad street exten-
sion bill. In fact, he omitted all legis-
lation that would in any way affect the
railroads.
The large number of measures includ-
ed in the call indicates that 80 much
time will be spent upon them that the
law enforcement bills will have hard
shedding.
