-Anti-prohibitionists have ,
at
tacked the legality of the prohibi
on law, adopted two weeks ago by
the voters of the State in the
special election provided for by
the State Legislature in special
session.
It is alleged that the passage of
the prohibition law was effected
in a radical and revolutionary
manner ; creates a ref erendurrTand
is in violation of the presen f orm
of government. Grounds of ille
gality alleged against the laws are
that the extra session of the Legis
lature had no power to ligislate on
any subject except railroad rates
and that the other subjeot was not
provided for in the Governor's call,
whereas the constitution provides
that the Governor shall specify
for what 'purpose he calls the
Legislature togttfctr. If the Leg
islature oimnot b oosirolld ia
its action by the govern, says
the anti-prohibitionists, the law
is illegal.
""Its going into effect, '-says the
bill of domplamt, "was made con
ditional on the approval by voters
of North Carolina and that meas
tire is not a legislative law, be
cause the Legislature has no power
to delegate its powers and leave to
another the right to say whether
a measure shall become a law, but
if it is a law at all, it must be
constructed as one passed directly
by -the people in the nature of a
referendum, and the constitution
of North Carolina makes.no pro
visions for this system of law
making."
Judge Coolev is Quoted to the
Wisf Georgia Politicians.
Governoriloke Smith, of Geor
gia, naa been in omce a little less
than a year, and he is already in
the midst of a rather hot fight for
re-election. The Governor is
elected for a term of two years in
Georgia ; but he is brdihally given
a second term without a contest;
a fight for re-election is a very un
usual thins indeed. Governor
Smith was elected by a most
overwhelming majority, carrying
125 counties out of 145, and there
fore the opposition which he has
encountered is doubly remarkable.
His opponent is Joseph M. Brown,
whose father was Governor during
the civil war. and also represent
ed the state in the senate, Mr.
Brown was a member of the State
Railway Commission, and was re
moved from office by governor
Saith because their ideas about
reforming we railroads were not
tfca sjttte. They are both reform
era. And they are both prohibi
tiomsts. It is very hard to find a
politician in Georgia these days
wno is not a reiormer ana a pro
hibitionist. When you do find
one he isn't in office. Don Mar
quis, in Uncle Remus's The
Home Magazine for June.
As every one knows, Smith was
badly defeated, and, of course,
Brown was elected. Various reas
ons are assigned for this great
change, but nothing seems to be
certain except the fact that Smith
was defeated.

A dispatch to the St. Louis

"Solicitor N. A. Sinclair return
ed last -night i torn Savannah; Ga. j
where he attended the funeral of

the train with Sinclair was Secre
tary Taf t and three attendants,
two whiCe men and a negro. The
secretary and his party boarded
the train at Charleston, S. C,
having returned from a trip to
Panama j andvbeing then on their
way to Washington. The secre
tary ordered four covers laid on
his table for dinner. On account
of the considerable bulk of the
secretary, it was found necessary
to extend the table, which usually
accommodated .four people, in sr
derthat the party might find seats
about it. As the big man andhis
three companions appeared in the
dining car and were preparing to
take their seats, when the conduct
or of the train qu:etly informed
Mr. Taft that in South Carolina,
wnere tne "Jim urow laws are
stringent, colored people are re
quired to wait until all the whites
on the train have completedtheir
meal before they are allowed to
eat. The negro companion of the
secretary was forced to retire, in
spite of the. protests of Mr. Taft
This is considered to be a rather
high bid on the part of the secre
tary for the southern negro Vote
The incident is being considerably
discussed among the southern
people.
