PAS TORS IN
CLASH On
CLUBS

A dispute over one word in a locker
club resolution caused something Of a
sensation at the meeting of the Evan
gelical Ministers Association Monday
when DR.. c. w. Daniel, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, quit the assem-
bage in a huff. claiming that the
chair had ignored his right to recog-
milton.
The dispute came over the adoption
Of a motion by the Rev. H NJ Du-
Bose, pastor of the First NJ E.
Church, approving the resolutions re
Gently passed by the Baptist Minis
ters' Association uphoding the First
Baptist Church in going on. record
against membership in locker clubs
Immediately controversy started
over the word action in the original
resolution. A strong opinion seemed
to prevail in favor of approving the
principle" of the First Baptist
Church movement rather than the
action.
Dr. Wilmer Offers Change,
The idea was that the action should
be left to each congregation individ-
ually.
DR.. c. B, Wilmer, Of St. Luke's
Episcopal Church, moved that the
word principle" be substituted for
the word action" in that part of the
resolutions which referred to the
hearty approval of the action of the
First Baptist Church in its resolution
adopted Marcl 49,"
DR.. Daniel, whose church was one
of the first to take action on the lock
er club question, objected to the sub
stitution of the word principle in
stead of action as contained in the
original resolution and asked for The
vote on the question
Or. Daniel Leaves.
There was no vote taken on this
issue, whereupon DR.. Daniel said he
had been refused recognition from
the -iair, occupied by the Rev. W. c.
Schaeffer, Jr.. and quit the meeting,
saying he would not remain If he
could not have vote on the pro-
posed rearranging Of the resolutions.
Immediately after Dr. Daniels
withdrawal from the hall DR.. Wilmer
withdrew his motion for the subsJi-
tuition Of he word principle" and the
resolutions in fun were unanimously
indorsed by the association.
Dr.. Wilmer in his request had ar
gued that the resolution contained
too concrete form Of expression
relative to the locker questions, and
that the word principle would in
volve the same sentiment and yet rot
infringe on the prerogP tlyes Of each
congregation.

BREWERIES'
FATE Up To
COURT

The appeal case of the Law En-
forcement League of Macon, repre-
sented in the person of ]. R. Howard
against the Acme Brewing Company,
was argued in the Supreme Court
Monday.
This case, if decided adversely 70
the brewery, probably will serve to
put every brewery and near beer
dealer in the State out of business
and it therefore is being watched
with great interest in at least four
of the large cities Atlanta, Macon
Savannah and Augusta.
The case argued Monday is an in
junction appeal from Judge Mat
thews' court in Bibb. Under an
agreed state of facts, the Acme Brew
ing Company manufactures "a malt
) beverage" but not IAN Intoxicating
beverage" Upon this showing. Judge
Matthews refused the injunction.
League Loses in Lower Court.
The Law Enforcement League of
Macon holds, however, that the State
prohibition law expressly prohibits
the manufacture and sale in Georgia
Of all malt liquors, regardless Of
whether they are intoxicating. It
seems that the Court OF Appeals has
decided this point in favor of the
manufacture and sale of non-intoXi-
eating malt liquors in several cases,
but the Supreme Court never has
passed on that question.
1t is admitted that every brewery in
Georgia manufactures malt near
beer, but it is not agreed that their
~roducts are intoxicating within the
legal meaning of the word.
The Acme Brewing Company was
made the object of an injunction pro-
ceeding by the Law Enforcement
League Of Macon, but upon the in
ability of the prosecution to show
that the Macon product was intoxi-
eating, the process was denied. The
league then fell back in appeal upon
the point of the product being matt,
as stated, and that is the question be-
ing thrashed out Monday.
Little Success in Macon.
The Law Enforcement League has
been very active against the near
beer saloons in Macon, but so far has
not been uniformly successful in its
crusades The siuation, legal or IL
legal. as the case may be, remains
about the same in the Central City
that It has been ever since the pro-
hibition law was enacted.
If the Supreme Court, however,
holds that it is illegal in Georgia to
sell a malt product. regardless Of its
intoxicating qualities IT will deal a
staggering and perhaps fatal blow to
every brewery and dealer in near
beer. imitation beer or real beer IN
the state.
The case for the Macon brewery
was argued by Attorney w. d. Nc
Nell and for the Law Enforcement
League by Attorney r. D, Dagan'
both of Macon.

Express Rates Excessive.

There is constant complaint against
the railroads for excessive charges on
freights, and we have no doubt that
these complaints are warranted. but
the only remedy we see for this is for
the several commercial bodies in the
state to employ experts to work up.
and present to the general assembly a
fair and equitable freight rate. But
the greatest robbery the public is suf-
fering from is the rates charged by
the express company. Since the in
ter-state commerce commission and
the postal authorities have interfered
with the interstate rates the express
companies have undertaken to get
even by raising the intra state rates,
thus making the local rate in excess of
the interstate rate. The railroad
commissions if they know their busi-
ness, and are worth their salt should
take this matter up instanter and
not permit this gigantic corporation
to rob the people in the manner they
propose by the recent tariff put in
force. If the railroad commission
will not tackle the express com
panies the legislature should. The
rates charged now are almost pro.
Notwithstanding Times.

'sneering at the $4,000 cattle tick
appropriation" and as man does
not sneer at thing of which he ap-
proves, the conclusion was logical tina,
Prof. Clinkscales did not endorse the
appropriation and would not approve
of similar appropriations. We accept.
ed Prof. Clinkscales' statements, as re-
ported by campaign correspondents
ut their face. and as we were not in
a position to interpret his inmost
thoughts our criticism was fair and
pertinent.
We have not questioned Prof. Clink-
scales motives ut any time, nor do
We doubt his sincerity Of purpose. his
integrity or his patriotism. But we
fear he has been so carried away by
his advocacy of the Statewide COM
pulsory education theory that he has
lost sight Of practical considerations,
and would not be a safe leader. No
man who Is acquainted with condi-
tions In this State would contend that
Statewide compulsory education can
be put into effect or enforced with
Dut a period Of preparation and re-
adjustment, therefore 1t seems to us
to be verging folly to. demand q
enactment Of such a law. If the
legislature Is to be saddled with the
task of devising scheme and fixing
ways and means of making cOmpul-
sorry education effective wherein lies
the craftsmanship or the credit of
candidate advocating 1t without being
prepared to suggest tho ways and
means for surmouning the great OBJ
stacles that stand in the way Of It's
practical operation?
Prof. Clinkscales' honesty, learning
and patriotism are not in question:; We
doubt only tho wisdom of his leader
ship. II this is being unfair to Prof.
Clinkscalcs we have been unfair, but
we cannot see 1t that way and as lie
Is candidate for public Office he Is a
legitimate subject Of criticism. While
wo may regret that Prof. Ciinkscales'
loyal friends resent criticisms ana
feel that to criticise him Is unfair, we
cannot forcgo the privilege Of criti-
cising any candidate on mis- public ut
