HONORING THE BOYS.

1t has been announced that the
Americas Light Infantry will leave FL
Paso on March 23rd as 1t is COM
pany of the Second regiment, which
together with the Fifth Infantry will
depart from the borderland for bone.
1t is likely that the Second win pro-
coed to Macon and there be mustered
out.
1t was a rousing farewell when the
a. L. l. boys left for the concentration
camp at Macon. They appreciated the
Godspeed and the tears of patriotism
and pride. They have served their
country well, and although the duty
proved more or less monotonous, an
other call would find them eager to
serve the stars and Stripes
The proper organization should I'M
mediately take steps to bid them wei
come. The armory might be decorat-
ed and placed in good condition for
their return. Some form OF entertain
ment should mark the homecoming
the Times Recorder will be glad to re-
'ceive suggestions for publication and
sincerely hopes that some action will
be taken.

1t is virtually assured that the extra
session Of the Georgia general as
sembly to convene on Tuesday, March
Goth. at the cali OF Governor Harris,
will enact the most stringent law pos
sible under the powers outlined
through the webb-Kenyon decision
when the United States supreme court
decided the rights of the state to out
law liquor and it co-partners all
together.
The prohibitionists who enacted the
two quart" law at the extra session
If 1915 should stand firm week after
next In a dry bone" law. Added to
this strength are the promises of leg
.slators who voted against the present
prohibition law. The dry bone' Law
will give Georgia chance to see 4
she wants real prohibition, and the
people of Georgia will be the greatest
factors in determining whether prohi-
bition is a success or not.
In passing their legislation the gem
eral assembly should make the illegal
sale and manufacture Of liquor each
felony. This would offset the Judge
ments OF iuries and the sentences of
court which allow the payment of an
ordinary fine. With liquor outlawed
there should be no excuse for an ord
mary drunk, and the law should take
due cognizanee of this fact. The man
who is found drunk is victim Of con-
traband, made illegal by the laws of
the state.
The beer people desire to see strin-
gent prohibition law, believing that t
will mean.a sIackening Of the law with
in few years. This is doubted.
1t may be better for the people Of
the state to have law enacted at an
extra session, as the complexion of the
new general assembly has not been
definitely ascertained. The chances
are decidedly stronger for dry
bone" law with the general assembly
now living, than the legislature to be
born in June.
The new found allies of prohibition
are under severe watch by the people
of the state The hope of reelection
seems to be tie Juain motive.
Nevertheless. the general assembly
will put strong law ON the statute
books and it is for the people to say
whether it shall stand or not-that is,
stand through enforcement.
