MANUFACTURING SEETI-
MENT AGAINST NEW
PROH| BIT|ON LAW
(By Frank {. Gilreath)

Atlanta, Ca, March 26.-Politics is
game and the prohibition advocates
have been accused OF -keeping the SUBJ
ject of politics, but hereafter it will be
kept in politics by the interests OPP
posed to prohibition and the purpose
of their game will be to make it ap-
pear that public sentiment in Geor-
gia does not favor the drastic provis-
ions of the bone dry law"
This already is@as plainly apparent
as if the anti-prohibition interests had
advertised their plans. The dome of
the state capitol .silhoutted against
the afternoon sky is no palmer than
the game which is planning to be
played against the bone dry prohibi-
ton law. And the interesting and re-
markable thing is that already some
genuine prohibition members who will
vote for the bill are beginning to fall
for" the talk.
To assert that the law is too dras-
tic for the sentiment OF the people,
| that no law can be enforced unless it
has the backing of public sentiment,
that juries will not convict for viola
tons, that the law is doomed to be-
come dead letter and that the pen
dulum wiA>certainly swing Backward
that is the talk of the: anti-prohibition
interests, and they are handing it out
in every conversation where the talks
drifts round to prohibition. They are
circulstiHg~it with such industry and
such a sameness of phraseology that
ones mind soon perceived that it all
has common source and a common
purpose.
Of course if the people who want
genuine prohibition and whose de-
nland has crystallized in the bill
which the legislature is now about to
pass should allow it to be dinned into
their ears that they don't know their
own mind. and should finally permit
themselves ite be. convinced that they
don't, then the liquor interests will
have accomplished their purposes
which is to manufacture a sentiment
against the law
But the legislature at least is going
to give the believers in prohibition an
opportunity to practice their profes.
sions. The legislature is going to
pass the governors bone dry bill, and
it is just as dry as the liquorites say
it is. And there will be no further
possibility of putting prohibition ir
politics, except by the game of manu-
featuring public sentiment against the
law.

LEAKING TRUNK DISCOVERED
BY CITY MARSHAL AT TRAF

M'RAE, Ga, Oct. 13.-McRae's city
marshal discovered leadink trunk at
the station yesterday and in fe"
minutes had dozen quarts OF whisky
as we'll as the trunk, in the council
chamber for safe keeping. He was UNI
able to locate the owner of the trunk,
which was shipped here on one of the
trains from wet" point.
All was we'll until this morning, OF
that is what the marshal thought. He
was still keeping on the lookout think
ing, perhaps the owner of the missing
trunk would make some inquiries. He
happened to go to the council chamber
and found that the trunk of whisky
had ben opened during the night and
every bottle of the liquor stolen. The
trunk is all the officer has and so far
the owner has failed to call for it.
