CAPTAINS OF VICTORS
DISCUSS THE RESULT
Will of People,
Says Covington
Hon. W. A. Covington, author of the
bill In the house, and ono of the fore
most lighters for prohibition, said:
"The most Important thing to be said
Is that there never was a vote taken
which more correctly represented the
*111 of the people of Georgia. In other
*ords, the bill can not be charged up
to the prohibitionists of the house and
fenate, but to the sovereign people. It
emanated from them.
"I know all the politicians were per
fectly annoyed by the strength of the
demand when wo came here. The
Georgia Anti-Saloon League, the V om-
un'a Christian Temperance Union, the
various church organizations are all
due Immense credit. Then, too, the
*ced sown by Walter B. Hill, Henry
Crody and Sam P. Jones, as well as
others who are not with us any more,
but 'whose works do follow them,' Is
now in process of harvesting. Well,
the 139 of us who voted for the bill
feel that we have lifted a burden from
the homes of the poor and removed a
menace to the . safety of our Instltu-
tlone; and we are becomingly proud of
the opportunity to have thus served the

said:
•‘Tuesday was a glorious day In my
life. It was the consummation of years
of hope and labor. Since I can remom-
ber friends and advocates of temper
ance have been making war on the le
galized liquor traffle. But they have
worked without system or harmony,
and results were disappointing.
•'Yesterday was different. The friends
of prohibition worked and voted ns one
man. The harmony was delightful. In
dividual Interests and preferences were
waived for the common good. There
was a reason for this. The power and
effectiveness of prayer never had a
clearer or stronger Illustration. In
nearly every church and home In Geor-
g,a yesterday, and »«>r wk. befor.
special prayer was made for the men
who had to vote. Those prayers were
answered Tuesday night. God rules,
and His guidance should be recognized
and His name honored In the glorious
result.”
Pay
All Honor
To Young Men
Hon. Seaborn Wright, leader of the
house prohibitionists, was asked for
statement.
“Yes, I have something to say,” he
said, "and It Is this: The splendid port
played by the young men of the house
In yesterday's debate. With few ex
ceptlons the speeches made for our
sldA were made by the young men of
the house. They demonstrated not only
great ability, but splendid conceptions
of civic righteousness. The entrance of
these young men Into politics means
much to the state. The people of their
counties owe It to them and to the
state to return them to the house. They
have been tried and stood unyielding
in their loyalty to duty and tho right.'

Never WasaLaw
So Beneficial
Senator L. G. Hardman, author
the prohibition bill In the senate, spoke
of tho necessity of tho enforcement of
the law. He said:
"There Is no legislation that has been
enacted In the state of Georgia for
great number of years, and perhaps
ever. If tho exeoutlvos and judicials
as well os the citizens of the state will
have It executed, as I feel sure that
they will do, that will add so much to
the prosperity, happiness and progress
of the state of Georgia as the present
prohibition bill. Just passed.
"Of course, it may bo that there
defects In tho bill. There Is no great
measure that can be perfected In
first enactment There are conditions
that will spring up that would be
brought to light only by the enactment
of the law, and the needs are then
made apparent and the further perfec
tlon of the law can then be accom
plished. For Instance, the school sys.
tern of Georgia has been In existence t
number of years, yet no one will dare
say that it Is perfect, but that it has
deficiencies and Imperfections, and
might say evils, that time and progress
can only remedy.
"Take, for Instance, the uniform text
book law. We will be constantly ren
ovating and perfecting It. Tho same
thing applies to the local taxation
rural district schools. That law Is not
t, and. has Its detects. The sam
might be sold of the laws regu
latlng the Judicial circuits of the state.
They probably need rearranging as the
conditions now are not as they were
when enacted. The splendid work that
Is being done by tho educational sys
tem of Georgia Is one of the great
things that win add to and promote the
prosperity and ....
state, and
dlclal and educational Interest of the
state adds much to the state, and with
out which we could make no progress
and maintain and command respect
and order, and without the executive
and Judicial tho present prohibition law
would accomplish but little, but with
the great executive that wo have at the
head of the state today and the Judlcla.
ry determined to see that tte laws are
y enforced, I believe that pros
and happiness awaits Georgia
how as never before.
Encourage Economy.
"In the prohibition measure we have
not only a measure that will odd
the commercial Interest of the stato
Georgia In the way of providing for tho
sums of money now put Into drink to
degrade and degenerate and produce
crime and expense, but a law that will
encourage economy, sobriety and the
Investment of the thousands of dollars
now thrown away In drink to degrade
and lessen the capacity and ability ti
>roduce wealth, happiness and prosper,
ty. All of the funds, or, at least, the
great bulk that now goes to the liquor
traffic, will be put In substantial lm
provements that will add taxable In
vestments In the state In the rural
districts as well aa the great cities and
commercial centers of the state, which
will give happiness and solid comfort
to the citizens of the state. Not only
does this bill pretend to promote the
commercial progress of this state, but
the greatest of all,- tho Int'e'-est of hu
manlty and of mankind In the way of
promoting moral character and rellg.
ous Influences, without which all gov-
ernments and states must fall sooner
or later. Suppose In the next two dec
ades'tlVt we could reverse conditions
as 1 believe we will do with tho sentl
ment of the people of the great state
of Georgia, and prevent crime, poverty
and degeneracy and disease, produced
by alcoholism, what on Ideal citizen
ship and state Georgia would be.
"Desire of My 8oul.”
"It Is the burning desire of my soul
to see this great reverse In the down
ward tendency to degrade the youth
and sc" ‘ flmm
crimes
In our commonwealth. I am so fixed
In my belief that principles will be
created that will Inevitably bring hap
plness, prosperity and progress of i
nation, that there Is no exception when
applied to this measure. On the other
hand, principles, If I may so call them,
or laws, that. If carried out, tend to
reduce destruction, poverty, pauper
sm. Insanity and disease, are as certain
In their results as the reverse would be,
Then, in the name of God Almighty,
how could we advocate measures that
tend to destroy the character, the mind,
the morality, the happiness and pros-
>erlty of our people today and genera-
Ions yet unborn, because we are told
that the sins are visited to generations
unborn?
"A Happy State. 1
‘Then why not stop and consider and
let the great state of Georgia unite In
one stentorian voice and say. Let the
laws that will bring prosperity, happl
ness, protection and love one for an
other, dominate and be the ruling ele
ment In every soul of the state of
Georgia? I have no doubt In my own
mind If the principles underlying and
on which this measure Is based Is car
ried out we will have the happiest, most
prosperous state In the whole Union.
The business world recognizes the
truthfulness of this, as they do not
want, on the contrary will not have, op
eratives or laborers who Indulge In
Intoxicants. The secret orders of our
great state recognize the great danger
of taking alcoholics and'therefore de
cline to make them members of the
order who Indulge, to say nothing of
the churches, which must be the high
est Institutions of the land. Then, how
earth can anyone advocate the use
such a dangerous substance? I want
every soul In Georgia to unite In this
great movement and see that such a
law Is properly carried out”
