FLOOD OF LETTERS CALLING
FOR "BONE Dry PROHIBITION

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 25.-A flood Of
letters is pouring into Governor Har-
ris' office on the subject of calling an
extra session of the legislature for the
purpose of enacting bone dry" pro-
hibition law against the importation
of any intoxicants Of any kind into
Georgia, pursuant to the recent decis-
ion of the United States supreme
court upholding the Webb-Kenyon law
in which it was held that state has
authority to prohibit liquor ship
ments from other states.
Some of the letters urge the gov
ernor to call the extra session, while
others advise him to leave the matter
to the incoming legislature and adj
ministration, which will take charge
in June.
One of the principal arguments be-
ing used by friends of the governor
who oppose an extra session is to this
effect: That he made possible the
present laws by including prohibition
in his call for the extra session of
1915, and that he can well afford to
leave future legislation to the ad-
ministration of his successor, Hugh M.
Dorsey.
There are numbers of real prohibit
tionists, however, who, recalling Dor
sey's platform pledges and campaign
speeches, who urge the converting Of
the legislature in special session. Dor
sey having specifically stated in his
campaign that he would veto any pro-
posed change in Georgia's present pro-
hibitien laws that did not carry with it
a provision referring the proposed
change to direct vote of the people be-
fore becoming effective. These con-
tend that unless "dry bone laws are
passed at an extra session of the pres
ent legislature, then Georgia's oppor-
tunity to embrace "bone dry prohibit
ton must wait two full years, or
until Dorsey goes out of Office as
governor.

To such great eyes as hers.
o, little child of long ago,
God grant the news untrue!
Except for the on strong selfish
thought
That l may come to you.
And sit beside you in the dark
And, as is Paradise
/ gave you all my breaking heart,
Now bring to you-my eyes.
