Committee, leading the fight for It's
enactlon, the Senate Committee on
Banking and Currency to-day began
hearings on the Owen bill to prohibit
the use of mails, telephone or tele-
graph for furtherance of "unlawful'
stock exchange transactions. The
bill, which calls for a sweeping reor-
ganization of Wall street methods,
was opposed by a number of repre-
sentatives of brokers.
MIR. Untermyer, the chief witness
in the advocacy OF the bill, cited nu-
merous court opinions and recon-
mendations of the House committee
which favorably reported a similar
bill in the Sixty second Congress.

The death of Colonel Charles r,
on the State Democratic Executive
Committee that must be filled by ap-
pointment at the hands OF the chair
man, william ]. Harris.
The committee, moreover, will meet
within the next six weeks to pro-
vide for general primary for Gov
ernor and Statehouse officers later
along, ard 1t Is necessary that this
vacancy be filled at once in order that
the new member may be on hand
when the committee assemblies to
participate 10 the deliberations OF the
same. The forthcoming meeting Of
the committee will be most impor-
taRt one, as there are a number OF
things that must be settled, upon
which there Is considerable division OF
opinion
In the matter OF appointing sue
cessor to Colonel Pendleton there are
some people who keep pretty close
tab on things political in this State
VINO think it would be both a grace
full and a sensible thing for Chairman
Harris TO name Colonel Pat" Gam
brell. of The Macon Telegraph, as
Colonel Pendleton's successor on the
committee. and this suggestion likely
will be made to the chairman.
Mr. Gambrell was associated for
years with Colonel Pendleton in the
management of The Telegraph, was
very close to the dead man PERSONAL
ly, and might be depended upon to
reflect the Pendleton ideals more
surely than any other man in the
state, perhaps. Besides that, he knows
the political game thoroughly, and
his advice and counsel in the COM
mittee work would be sound and
carefully considered. To name him
to che unexpired term OF Colonel Pen
dleton would be deserved compli-
ment to Gambrell. decided advan+
tage to the committee and no doubt
would be the very appointment Colo
mel Pendleton himself would advise,
were 1t possible for him now to make
known his ideas in the matter.
Those who have the idea Of Gam
brelFs appointment In mind feel sure
the suggestion will appeal instantly
to Chairman Harris--and 1t seems
likely, therefore that he will fall heir
to the dead mans position on the
State Committee. Indeed, 1t is
thought that there will be no further
suggestions made, once this one is
registered with the chairman.
In. these more or less parlous times
for the Demon Rum, II Is regarded as
rather remarkable when a man in
public life in Georgia ventures to sug
gest a doubt publicly as to the COM
plete and full efficiency of the pres
ent State wide prohibition law-and
yet now and then one more candid
and outspoken soul undertakes to get
away with 1t, nevertheless.
Judge II. d. D. Twiggs, for in
stance. speaking recently In Savan-
nah before the Boosters Club of that
municipality. said:
None of the prohibition laws
that have been passed has been
enforced; they never have pro-
hibited, and never will prohibit.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-02-05

Legislation has almost been ex-
hausted, but to no avail.
My observation has been that
IL you don't allow men to drink
alcoholic liquor they will find a
substitute which is great deal
worse.
Beer is the greatest temper
ance agent there is. Go into
saloon and you will find 30 per
cent of the people in there drink
ing beer, and the other 10 per
cent whisky. Let people have
what they want to drink and they
will choose beer, which Is not
harmful in any sense of the
word.
People are bound to have
stimulants, and IL they are not
permitted to have liquor a great
many of them viii resort to drugs.
This is one of the serious results
of attempting to enforce prohi-
btion laws"
Those who disagree with Judge
Twiggs will disagree violently, and
those who do agree viii agree vocif-
erously-and that is about ell one
would care to say Of the matter, per-
haps, by way of comment!
The election OF Thomas Converse
Jr, to the Mayoralty Of Valdosta, and
by q handsome and conclusive ma
jority, while not particularly surpris-
ing, will be a matter of pleasing In
terest not only to South Georgia, but
to the State generally.
Mr.. Converse is a most successful
and popular young man, and Is very
strong politically In his section of the
State. It is said by his friends that
higher honors still are in store for
him.
The Mayor elect, by the way, Is a
nephew of State Senator w. L. Con-
verse, who Is candidate for Con-
gress against Representative Ran
dali Walker, and a good deal of the
credit for the younger mans victory
is being given the Senator. on &C
count of the quiet. but highly effect
i've support he gave his nephew.
Senator Converse is making an ear
nest and, so the ''dops" runs, most
formidable campaign for Congress,
and it looks now as IL the race has
about narrowed down to Converse
and Walker, with plenty of root
ing" going on both ways.
Bob" Adamson, formerly of Geor-
gia and Atlanta, has a high opinion
OF the efficiency OF women in poiti-
cal work, no less than along other
lines, and in recent Interview said:
! have found that women, in
any work involving the welfare
and safety of the public are most
Jealous and energetic, and | have
also found that women display a
very high grade of ability for the
salaries paid I think the preju-
dice against the employment of
women in these and other posi-
lions which they can fill as well
as men can All them is dying out.
Since he left Georgia a good many
years ago, Mr.. Adamson has been
most successful in the field of New
York City politics, and what he says
of women workers In public affairs
will be accepted by many as a true
and just statement of fact.
