ONOER "a AAFG euilSyl'd-
MIA has just emerged from
~ one of the most drastic
periods Of legislative re-
form in years, the outstanding feat
ure Of which was the enactment Of
a new charter for the municipality
Of Philadelphia code designed to
curb and end opportunity for the
activities Of INSCRIPTIONS public
men. The new charter came out
above partisan bias to be welcomed
by the citizenship of the state as
big step progressively.
The results of the 1919 session
Of the Legislature have been gener-
ally characterized as the most far
reaching since the founding Of the
state, the Philadelphia charter re-
form being the most significantly
important from a viewpoint Of mu-
nicipal government, The entire fut~
nre OF the commonwealth, also, it is
conceded, has been altered in the
sense Of 1aw-mora11y, economically
and politically.
The political storm incident to the
Wholesale revision OF state measures,
CT abo1ishnent and substitution,
centred in the metropolis. The
Legislature occupied most OF its
tine~-an unusually long session.
With a discussion and adoption Of
the new charter. Yet aside from
this, Revolutionary" strides were
made, Endorsed by ali parties or
factions, among them being the
Da}&Brady election bills TO purify
the political atmosphere Of the

President Wilson came home Tuesday
after seven months spent in Europe
except for brief visit to America
at the beginning Of March. In
speech at Carnegie Hall he said the
peace drawn at Versatile was just

The George Washington, carrying the
President, was met thirty miles out at

cant movement" and continues
"The smaller council, based on ma
jority rule, is something the city ought
to have whether it accomplishes all
the reforms expected of it or not. The
exclusion Of policemen and firemen
from active participation in politics,
the institution of the budget system in
our city finances, the right given to
the city government to ignore con-
tractors and do its own work, are the
essential feature of the reform that
has succeeded in the face Of powerful
and heretofore invincible influence

Baltimore reports great falling
off in the number Of arrests for dis
orderly conduct in connection with
liquor sales and drunkenness. The
first dry Saturday in that city

to so, all kinds Of lawlessness taken
into consideration. Police court

Bars Along Border

If present conditions continue the
border may be marked by nearly
continuous row of bars on the Mexi-
can side from Brownsville to beyond
Ell Paso. The one Mexican border
state to pass up the opportunity for
revenue is Sonora, where strict drv
laws are in force.
The change meant a great deal. a
very great deal, in the life of San
Francisco" optimistically remarks
THE San Francisco Chronicles:
unlike the cities of dreadful night.
this has always been a city of cheerful
night, and the ordeal of going Try was
one yet to be faced. But it was faced
in phiiosophic spirit, everybody believ-
ing that somehow and in some way the
Paris of America would always be gay.
ut was never the drink which dis
tinguished the gayety of San Francisco
from the gloom of the home Of. the
chemically pure. We were not Joyous
because we drank; we drank because
we were joyous, and had the heart to
spend the money. And we will con-
tinue to be joyous because joy is Of
the essence of our nature
"a people who could smile amid tho
smoking ruins of their city are not
likely to be downhearted because they
are denied the privilege of taking
drink. We could do without drink in
the days of the fire, and surely we will
manage somehow to get along without
one now"
"The Fargo Courier-News," Of
North Dakota, Nonpartisan League
organ of considerable proportions, is
glad prohibition has come, and sees
in it significance of particular i'm
port to labor:
Zone result which probably was not
counted on by most advocates Of pro-
hibition will undoubtedly be that labor
will be made much more self-assertive
Liquor has injured no class so much
as labor. Once it gets it's head clear
it will both realize more clearly the in
justice of present social conditions and
discover more certainly the means for
correcting these injustices.
"As a parting thought, we should
like to give tip to our men of wealth.
Nothing will so exasperate a vast num-
Der of labor men as the knowledge that.
while they cannot have their drinks,
men Of wealth have in their cellars wet
goods sufficient to last lifetime. II
these men Of wealth were wise they
would pour all their liquors into the
gutter and place themselves on an
equality with their working brothers"

paired and the engines were over
hauled preparatory to the return
flight, but the wind continued so
high that 500 men had to be kept
constantly at hand to drag on the
mooring ropes and prevent the es
cape of the dirigible.
Major J. E. M. Pritchard, of the Brit
ish Air Force, said the R-34 was al
ready obsolete and that England had
airships building that were twice
as big and twenty-five miles an hour
faster. Army, navy and civilian
aeronautic experts in this country,
however, favored the government
buying the R-34 as a model. Mem
bers of the Flying Club of America
said the trip of the R-34 was a far
more practical air voyage across the
ocean than the aeroplane flights and
paved the way for regular trans-
atlantic blimp line.

Northern Mexico, so when the great

transition, the smallest number of
arrests for drunkenness on a Satur-

Great Boon, Is Nearing

"Never were there wider and richer
opportunities than to-day for Georgia's
advancement. Never did the times
ring forth finer inspiration for the
generous co-working Of all her people.
There is prosperity enough and glory
enough for every town from the noun
tains to the sea without one thought
of envy or one snarl of i'll will But
we shall not reap these goodly harvests
if we fall to fighting one another.
We cannot promote our individual in
terests if we destroy our collective
interests. We cannot upbuild our own
town by seeking to injure our neigh
bors. We cannot be true to our own
community if we are false to the high
est good of the commonwealth.
"Not by pickering and strife such
as a capital removal election would
inevitably bring on, but by good will
and cooperation can the interests Of
Georgia and her cities one and all be
advanced. We have too many fertile
acres to drain and clear, too many
streams to dredge and harness for
water power, too many mines to open,
too many industries to develop, too
many reckoning fields Of trade to ex-
plorc, too many highways to build, too
many children to educate to waste one
day or ono dollar in warning over
question that was settled permanently
and satisfactorily forty-two years ago.
To raise this issue now is to raise it
against the peace and prosperity Of
Georgia.
"Atlanta may be depended upon to
withstand with all the vigor of her
being the fight which has been
launched against her interests. But
the case of Macon versus Atlanta is
Of scant concern to the Legislature and
to the people at large as compared
with the case Of Macon versus the
state. That far-reaching issue touches
the interests of all Georgians, and
touches them perilously. In justice
to the state, the Legislature should
rule decisively against extravaganza
and strife"

for business there, and with reports
to the police that social clubs are
selling all kinds of liquor and that
many speak-easies are operating, the
situation with respect to enforce
ment has led to numerous con-
ferences between Federal and city
authorities. At the same time it be-
came known that the breach between
the retail liquor dealers and the
brewers was widening. Additional
arrests were expected.

NW O weeks of wartime pro-
hibition have passed with no
definite solution Of the per-

definite solution Of the per-
picking situation revolving
about enforcement and definition in
sight. The American public gen.
orally has shown only a passive in
terest in the debate of those pro and
anti. Only a small percentage of
the retail liquor establishments the
country over have closed shop, and
the rest confne sales to near-beer
and diluted wines-with exceptions.
Almost all of the saloons remain
ing open await early "demobili-
zaation" which will allow them to
resume the sale Of the old favor
ties, and they are operating under
license, although paying dearly for
the privilege of dispensing "kicN-
less" drinks in the interim.
The "wets' in the lower house Of
Congress, led by five members of the
House Judiciary Committee, sub
mitted minority report on the pro-
hibition enforcement bill Of Repre-
sentative Volstead, declaring for re-
peal by Congress of the emergency
prohibition law, or at least for a
modification of the act in so far as
light wines and beer are concerned.

4 TLANTA is considerably
~ agitated over the proposal
4 ~ of certain legislators and
citizens Of Georgia, includ-
ing the populace Of Macon, to move
the state capital to the last named
city. Atlanta business men are in
d;gnant the proposition has gained
such Roadway. Numerous meetings
have been held and protests have
been plentiful of an official and I'M
official character.
The seriousness of the plan, Geo.
nomically and to Atlanta, in point of
prestige and pride, is reflected in an
editorial Of "The Atlanta Journal"
headed "Macon Versus the State"
which follows:
atlanta Voices Protest
"'This Is not a fight between
Macon and Atlanta. It ought to be
entitled the City Of Macon versus the
State If Georgia. Black
Of tho Citizens Committee.
"That puts the issue precisely. If 1t
were merely question Of one town or
another getting the capital, the state
at large might look neutrally on save
for q natural wish that the community
whose established rights were attacked
should be indicated against aggressive
coveteousness. But more than this is
at Enthusiastically more. There are
only some forty-six thousand people in
Macon, and only some one hundred and
ninety thousand in Atlanta. But in
Georgia there are between two and q
half and three million. Shall the inter
ests Of those millions be sacrificed to
the ambition of q few? That is the
question. Shall the taxpayers of this
entire commonwealth, burdened as they
already are, be saddled with yet heavier
loads simply that small group of pro-
motors may profit? Shall the conven-
fence of all whom business or pro-
fessonal duties call to the capital be
disregarded simply to satisfy local
whim Shall the concord and coopera-
ton in which Gcorgians now are work
ing for their great common interests

pass them on, therefore, with re-

The first relates to an occasion
when, on hearing of a fine cook in
Lille, he ordered her to cook din
ner for him. Not content with this
he insisted that she should sit at the
table with him afterward and help
him eat it
The incident is worthy of the ira
ditions of King Ludwig, but one
must confess it reads oddly.
The other story is more credible
one. The scene again is Lille. A
German officer named Pericles en-
tered the museum, had a look round,
and carried away some of the OBJ
jects which appealed to him. When
the director protested, the officer re-
torted that Lille was now German
town, but he did not explain how
that fact gave him the right to in
dulge his individual fancies.
Then the director went to Prince
Rupprecht in despair. The prince
promised to look into the matter,
and visited the museum few days
afterward, taking back some of the
stolen objects.
"You won't hear much more Of
Pericles," he said significantly
