What President Harding said about
giving the colored man full recogni-
.tion Of merit, full economic and
political rights doesn't please Sena-
tors Harrison and Watson-fortu-
nately. Watson says it is planting
fatal germs in the minds of the black
race and Harrison says he would give
the black man such rights as he is
entitled to'-Harrison of course to
say just what the black man was en-
titled to--but he would not have it
possible for white woman to work
under a black man, although the
black had demonstrated his capacity
to be an employer. In other words,
they would have one rule for the
whites and another for the blacks.
They would have the blacks denied
opportunity to acquire that which
their brains and character and effort
had earned. This would not be
America if Messrs. Harrison and
Watson were to have their way.

PROSPEROUS BIRMINGHAM

For the benefit of those unaware of
the facts be it known that Birming
ham, where on Wednesday President
Harding made a series Of memorable
speeches in honor of the city semi
centennial is a metropolitan child OF
steel, unique as such down among
the cotton states.
Birmingham is the namesake of the
English city older by more than three
centuries, renowned both on account
of educational and economic i'm
portance, containing intellectual
wealth in college and university and
industrial resources in its many
manufactures, not the least of which
are the brass, iron and general
metallic ware works.
The younger, American BirminG-
ham is primarily an industrial city,
distinct as one Of our most progress
sive among the centers which have
grown up with mushroom like i'm
pulse in a surprisingly brief period of
years. The town which was Incor-
porated in 1871 in 1880 registered a
population of 30S6; in 1890, 26,17S; in
1900, 3S,415. In 1920 1920 were the
figures given for the number of in
habitants in residence. Nor is
Birmingham a boom town. 1t was
builded upon foundation replete
with natural resources and has surety
of continued profitable existence.

SUCCESS TO THE BUILDING
PROJECT

The need of more houses in Au-
gusta has been recognized for sew
eral years. The need increased until
with some the situation seemed des-
perate. Usually such demand
elicits a response. Families needed
homes and were willing in some in
stances to pay more than they could
afford. People having money to in
vest usually see in such a condition
an opportunity to invest on favorable
terms and the need is supplied.
Why has it not been? Or to put it
another way, has there been in the
conditions existing a basis for con-
fidence, were you asked for advice. to
recommend to your friend or business
associate the building Of houses? ?
Would you have thought the building
of houses a profitable venture during
the past two years?
Evidently men of experience have
not thought so, not only in Augusta
but in many other places. In view
Of these well known facts the cor
poration which is endeavoring to re-
lieve this situation somewhat by
building ten houses here this fall de-
serves encouragement, merits finan-
cial success from it's efforts. 1t pos
sesses unusual advantages. Back of
the venture are experience and re-
sources and a record of profitable re-
suits. The managers express the de-
sire to have the work done by Au-
gusta artisans. The undertaking is
to begin Immediately and be pushed
to completion. The plan of the homes
warrants the belief that the new
dwellings will be creditable additions
to the city and afford comfortable at
tractive homes. The concern with
which the contract has been made is
rated high commercially and has
made a financial success of like en-
terprises elsewhere; there is, conse-
quently, good cause to believe this
will be done here. The opportunity
is an attractive one.
Daily Kennebec journal., 1921-10-29

was urged that If Congress wns
! about to prohibit beer as a medicine
there was no purpose to be served by
setting up governmental machinery
which would be rendered useless by
such enactment. But the Willis
Campbell antibeer bill having ap-
parently struck a serious snag in the
Senate, the Secretary of the Treasury
feels no longer justified in withhold
ing the regulations. He says it has
been urged upon the department
that in refusing to issue them it "is
denying to those interested their
clear legal right and thereby impos-
ing serious loss upon them,' and con-
sequently the regulations have been
issued.
A reading of the VoIsteaC act is
sufficient to convince any unpreju-
diced person, lawyer or layman, of
the right of physicians to prescribe
beer and other malt liquors, provided
they hold permits to prescribe
liquors. Section says that mo one
but q physician holding permit to
prescribe liquor shall issue any pres
cription for liquor" Another sec
ton says a person "may purchase
and use liquor for medicinal purpos-
es when prescribed by a physician
as herein provided"
There is nothing in the act to dis
tingush between "hard'' liquors and
beer and wines, and the Attorney
General was bound to decide that the
latter could be prescribed as medi-
cine if the physician "in good faith
believes that the use of such liquor
as a medicine by such person is nee
essary and will afford relief to him
from some known ailment" AS to
spirituous liquors, the act limits the
amount which may be prescribed for
use by the same person to one pint
N neriod of ten days, though there
was no such limitation on fermented
liquors. But the regulations place
a limitation upon them, as clearly
was the intent of the law.
The prohibition forces may be able
to secure passage of the antibeer
bill in the near future and thus ne
cesSitate modification and possibly
the resclndlng OF these regulations,
but until such action is taken and
the Volstead act is amended they
have no reasonable cause for COM
plant against the Treasury Depart
ment or any other branch of the gov
ernmcnt. The law as it now stands
has been construed in a proper man.
ner, and the government actually has
leaned toward the dry side in with
holding the beer regulations pending
further expression by congress. But
there is no justification for longer ig-
noring the plain provisions of the
law. 1t must be administered in
good faith as it stands. If the peo-
pie Of the United States do not wish
to have beer prescribed as medicine.
let them demand legislation to carry
their will into effect
