IS
LIKELY To GET
MILITIA ROW
Nash-0bear Controversy Appar-
emily Not Ended by Stand
Taken by Governor

II is the opinion OF military men
generally that the Nash-O con-
treversy, recently decided in favor
Of General Obear by Governor Sla-
ton. will go before the Georgia Leg
islature for final adjustment.
While neither the Adiutant General
nor the Quartermaster General Will
talk for publication, it may be taken
as settled fact that neitheg regards
the controversy as closed, although
neither will indicate what the next
move is to be.
The inference has been drawn in
the minds of some military men, and
so expressed, that General Nash
would resign in the event the Gov
ernor ruled adversely to him in the
matter lately under consideration, but
General Nash himself never has said
that he would do that.
Holds Stand Is lmpersonal.
On the contrary, he has maintained
all along that his attitude was pure
ly impersonal and prompted solely by
a desire TO bring the military estab-
lishment entirely within the meaning
of the Dick law, the Federal statute
under which it has been organized.
That there are military men who
differ radically with the Governor in
his Interpretation of the law is true.
One of these gentlemen calls atten-
ton to circular No. 10, recently is
sued by the War Department In
Washington, concerning this very
subject, in which the Judge A ocate
General of the United States army
the highest legal authority in the
army, says:
"lnasmuch as. under the Constitu-
ton. Congress has plenary power to
provide for organizing the militia,
there can be no question that
Congressional legislation prescribing
the organization of the militia is the
supreme law of the land upon that
subject. and that State legislation in
conflict with Congressional legislation
upon this subject must yield to the
extent that the two are in conflict.
CHouston VS.. Moore, 8 Wheat, 16, As
49, so; Dunn VS.. The People, "a ILL.,,
100, 1874, 1873, 134)
False Idea Corrected.
ut may perhaps be urged that the
conclusion thus arrived at serves to
make an act of a State Legislature
subordinate to a regulation laid down
by the Secretary of War. This. how
ever, is not the true view. 1t is not
the regulation of the Secretary OF
War, but the operation of a consti-
tutional statute enacted by the Con-
gress of the United States, that
serves to suspend the operation OF
State legislation not in harmony with
the Federal statute"
That the Governor himself realizes
some of the possible difficulties in the
way of maintaining the present sta
tus of affairs in the military estab-
lishment is clearly indicated by two
things: First, his own suggestion OF
legislative inquiry into the matter
and, second. his specific permission
to General Nash to reopen the ques-
ton in the Executive Department
whenever, in the Adjutant Generals
opinion, that may seem advisable.

improved by the engagement of Mar

Laddie Cliff, the English boy come
dian, who had to give up his trip here
because of illness. The bill should
be one of the cleverest of the season,
because it is a variety show from
start to finish. 1t is without a weak
spot, and there is more genuine novel
ty than the average vaudeville show
affords. Plenty of singing, dancing
and comedy will help to make things
interesting, and George AIDE sketch
will be feature Bell Baker, one of
the headliners in vaudeville, and who
is declared to be the foremost singer
