The Georgian from the first headline

HOW FAR WILL THE WAVE OF REFORM REACH?
It Is hut the repetition of an axiom to say that all great movements
afTectlng the welfare of the human race progress In waves and cycles.
Reforms serious In purpose and momentous In results ofttimes have their
origin In almost hopeless and inslgnlflcant Incident and Incentive. The
theories of the dreamers of.today become the fixed principles of the
practical men and women of tomorrow.
The advancement of the world In all things which make the upward
trend of humanity Is made upon the cycles of reform which arouse and
startle the thoughtless by the apparent suddenness of the moral awak
ening. wldch Is Its primary manifestation. Men wonder whence these
things come. They may woll question, whence are they tending?
Such a cycle of moral regeneration seems to have found recent ex
pression, so potent and profound, that the ear of the nation Is alert to
Its meaning and Import. The question of temperance discussed In Its
various phases Is far from a novel Issue. In many states. In different
forms. laws have been enacted looking to the restriction. If not the
abolishment of the liquor traffic. Some of these statutes have proven
helpful; others Inadequate and almost futile. Still men and women
concerned for the salvation of the victims of strong drink have contin
ued to contend for the reclamation of their weaker fellowmen.
With surprising suddenness, the action of both houses of the Geor
gia legislature has arrested the attention of the entire country, and
awakened an Interest Intense and universal.
Almost imperceptibly the wave of temperance reform had been
gathering strength for years throughout Georgia; It had found Its subtle
way Into many of the strongholds of Its opponents; It sometimes re
ceded like the tide, but also like the tldo It seemed only to gather force
for Its Inevitable goal, and at last, upon the rocks of opposition It broke
with majestic power, carrying everything before It In Its magnificent
triumph. Now that matters are readjusting themselves with tlje genius
of American adaptability, men are taking note of the effect of this Geor
gia tidal wave upon the country at large.
Many significant Incidents, like the proverbial straw, Indicate the
present condition of the public mind, concerning the future of prohibi
tion as It may affect other states.
Two press dispatches In Thursday's Journals are worthy of more
than passing comment.
One comes from Chicago and reports tho utterances of Charles R.
Jones, chairman of the national prohibition committee, regarding the
present status of the temperance Issue. Mr. Jones Is quoted ns saying;
"Every state In the Union will, at a comparatively early date, be
free from legalized liquor traffic.
"Winning of the battle for prohibition In Georgia Is the opening gun
of the final assault on the liquor traffic In all America," said Mr. Jones.
"It Is the direct result ot the persistent and Intelligent educational
campaign throughout tho nation." \
The other Incident relates to the report of an Interview sent out
from Nashville, In which Lieutenant Governor Henry B. Gray, of Ala
bama, a man of keen observation, who keeps In close touch with the
sentiment of the peopte of hla state. Is quoted as saying that "In two
years Alabama will go for prohibition.” These are coincident expres-
alons of seriously minded men In sections of the country romoto from
each other and divergent upon many questions of public policy. As no
man can sound the depths of the ocean, or measure the volume of Its
waters, so no man can yet say how far the tidal wave of last Tuesday
shall reach In Its marvelous Influence and In Ita stupendous 'power.
GEORGIA’S STUDENT OF THE PHILIPPINE PROBLEM.
It may not be generally known, but It Is undoubtedly true, that
a Georgia lawyer has attained and continues to hold a position among
. the foremost, If not the foremost, thinkers upon tho Philippine problem
of our government.
The Georgian some months ago had occasion to call attention to the
most admirable article of Col. James H. Blount, of Macon, contributed to
.The North American Review.
This thoughtful discussion founded u|>on several years of study In the
Philippines as judge advocate of Its courts and upon later reflection at
home, enlisted more of general attention and of general approval than
anything which hns yet been written or spoken upon this Important ques
tion. Mr. Carnegie and IBs friends were so much Impressed with It that
50,000 copies were printed and distributed under the direction of the
groat philanthropist throughout the country. Public men In nnd out of
congress, Including the president of the United States, gave very serious
attention and very high commendation to the views and suggestions of
our Georgia student of this question. Mr. Henry Watterson has just
written at great length In The Courier-Journal an elaborate and approv
ing review of Mr. Blount's view of the Philippine question.
And In a recent letter to The New York Times Judge Blount Writes an
other and most Intelligent article explaining just how he thinks his
plan may be workod out to the best advantage.
Ills Idea Is to create at once In the Island of Luzon two or three
autonomous territories, to hold the samo relation to the United States as
New Mexico does now. He suggests Luzon, because he says the poople
there are better equipped for self-government than tlioso In other parts
of the archipelago. He firmly l«dlevcs that such action on this country’s
part, with an Immediate disclaimer of any Intention to exercise perma
nent sovereignty and a declaration that other arena are to be organized
Into similar territories when they are deemod fit for tho change, would be
"a beacon light of promise” to nil tho people of tho Islnnds. He says the
first territorial government organized would aervo as a model for other*
to learn from, and continues;
The whole scheme also contemplates that these various
territories are to be Informed that whenever all'are tit the
whole are to be organized Into a United 8tates of the Philip
pines and turned loose as a free and Independent state, but
not until then Is the government of the archipelago to he
turned over to its people, according to this submitted plan.
Furthermore, beforo their Independence they should bo duly
protected from the great powers of the world by a neutrali
zation treaty, guaranteeing their territorial Integrity.
Judgo Blount goes on to say that It is foolish to talk about the dan
ger of nnarchy In the event the Filipinos were given local self-government
right away, nnd absolute Independence within a few years. "It Is Idle to
say that they would kilt more of each other than we have killed of them,”
he pointedly observes.
As we said the other day. Judge Blount’s recommendations ought to
be weighed very seriously by our statesmen. There nro two propositions
In this Philippine problem that are Belf-evldent to mewt thinkers. One Is
that the sooner we get out of the Philippines the better It will bo tor us
front both financial and political standpoints. The other Is that we must
not leave them dishonorably—we must not scuttle.
FRATERNAL ORDERS ARE GOOD SPENDERS.
It ts difficult to estimate the amount of money which Is let loose
from year to year by the great fraternal and secret organizations of the
country.
Among the forces which distribute their revenues and put Into circu
lation much more the accumulations of Individuals. It Is doubtful If any
arc more effective than the fraternal orders and tho secret societies.
Take for Instance the recent vacation trip of the Elks In Philadelphia.
The mathematical minds of tho brotherhood are wrestling with the ques
tion as to what that big week's convention cost the Elks. It Is Impossi
ble to be absolutely accurate, but a summary of tho most obvious ex
penses based upon the minimum, and the moat conservative estimates ob
tainable makes the following exhibit of the cost to the order of Elks on
ther vacation trip to Philadelphia;
Railroad fares g 250,004
Hotel Mils, meals en route and sleeping car fares 1,000,000
Incidental expenses In Philadelphia and on side trips 500,000
Sacrifice In salaries and business fioo'odo
Total cost of trip, excluding badges, costumes, etc.$2,250,000
This, the reader will understand, cornea from the Individual contri
butions of the Elks throughout the. country. And so much money having
been In circulation Is simply taken up In one lump and put tn circula
tion again. There may not be any general distribution of profit from
such expenditures, but there Is a world of happiness and good cheer, an£
after all the money gets back Into the avenues of trhde.
Meanwhile, however, we would take the liberty here and now to sug
gest to the Elks and other great orders that tb* heated term of the sum
mer Is not the time for a great convention of Individuals.
The sunstrokes fh the City of Brotherly Love and tho mortality ta
bles that followed the steaming heat made more Intense by the 200.00)
members of tills fraternal order. Is a thunder note of warning against hold-
log great conventions at to late and heated a season of the siuntner.
THE GEORGIAN IS VOTED
BEST PAPER IN GEORGIA
My Dear Mr. Seely;
I want to be one of the women of Georgia to thank you for the great
work you did through The Georgian and News In the fight for prohibi
tion. The great victory we have wor. is surely partly due to the stand
your paper has taken on the side of right.
I returned from Catoosa Springs yesterday where I spent a month
trying to rest and recuperate, and while there was gratified to hear
many words of commendation of The Georgian and News. It Is easily
voted the best paper In Georgia. May God ever bless you for your fear
less stand against tire whisky question .and I am sure He will.
With best wishes, I am, Youri sincerely,
MRS. SAM JONES.

He hnu given the subject the practical con
sideration which might he expected from a
mnn of his excellent bunluc** nunllflctitlons.
He has tried vnrlotiN forms of advertising*
giving n fair trial to the mediums through
which the mnn who has something to Hell

public. In 1«$3 he begAti to Advertise iu

me In continuing. I withdrew my adver
tisement from tuitfutlues. but Inter on tried
the experiment again Once more I took
out my Advertisements, aud since then I
have used only newspapers to bring my
goods before the public eye." This In the
testimony of a putmifncturrr who spends
$200,000 *n year In Advertising, aud Judges
the value of the Advertising medium by the
simple test of results. lie 1ms found that
newspapers produce nhunduut results. Mag
azine advertising did not swell the volume
of hi* sales to sijrli an extent that It was
rirolltftble nnd. therefore, good business pol
icy to sallclt business through this me
dium. The reasons which this successful
manufacturer gives for preferring the dAlly
newspaper to the monthly inn gasifies are
practical nnd eonelntdvo. He says:
"A newspaper ndvorflwuicut strikes the
eye tho moment the nheet Is opened. The
same advertisement would He hidden among
tba pages of a magazine .until the reader
found Ills way to It, If he ewer did.
•‘Practically every mnn reads n newspa
per. Even.’ limn does not read magazines.
Take n village, for instance, where the one
locut newspaper hns perhaps rentiers. If
I puf an iKivertlseuient In that paper, 200
people are going to see It. No one tungn-
sine, nor, for that matter, all the maga
zines combined, will circulate 2M copies in
that same town. The reasoning Is tery
simple. \
"Another excellent reason for the supe
riority of newspaper over magazine adver
tising rests In the fact that In those same
local pnpers the render aee* tha "ad" every
day of his IlfA, while ho sees It. at t»c§t,
only once n month In a magazine."
It would be difficult to explain the philos
ophy ot advertising more lucidly and con-
vinclngly than In the language of this clear
headed nnd practical New England manu
facturer. As he Is absolutely disinterested,
his words carry great weight. Ills expe
rience Is probably that of every large ad
vertiser. The supremacy of tho dally news
paper ns nn advertising medium cjin no!
be challenged successfully. In the very na
ture of the case, as this New England man
ufacturer shows. It Is the best medium, be
cause It has nn luflueiire in Its own commu
nity and a hold apoir Its readers which no
magazine published elsewhere and appear
ing at Intervals of thirty days can possibly
acquire. The dally newspaper In a record
not only of happenings In all parts of the
world, but It gives special attention to Its
owu field—to' the events In the city In
which It la published. It voices tho senti
ment of tho community In which It Is an
Influence. It spreads before Its readers
every 24 hours a complete record of the life
of that community. It Is rend heenuse It Ik
n necessity. Intelligent tnen nnd women
can not do without It. When, In addition,
It posseiyieg influence aud high standing,
those qualities give spcclul value to Its ad
vertisements. For this reason It la the most
desirable of advertising mediums. The mag
azine Is In n sense a necessity. It Is a lux
ury. The advertising columns of a news
paper of thigh character are Immeasurably
superior for purposes of publicity to nny
other form of advertising. And In these
days, when newspaper advertisement* ara
considered In u certain sense a part of tho
news, when they are rend more widely
than ever before, the merchant who pre-
selits the "news" .of Ids business every
day In the advertising columns of a first-
class newspaper has nn Immense advantage
over the magazine advertiser.
The newspaper reader wants • dally ac
count of the world’s happenings.. He also
wants to know every day what the mer
chant nnd manufacturer are offering to
Sell to the nubile. The "news" In the nd
vnrtlslng columns of a great newspaper re.
fleets the commercial nud Industrial life of
immunity. Such now* Is rend eagerly
by the class which the merchant and tho
manufacturer desire to ranch. It Is rend
iverv day, nnd the public Is guided by It In
nnklng purchases. The magazine, nn the
contrary with its advertisement* reaching
the nubile nt thirty-day intcrml* nnd cir
culating among a comparatively sinnlt class
in any community, cun not produce the re
sults which the dally newspaper produces.
It has as ti rule no local Interest or weight.

NOBLER WORK AHEAD.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
In Tuesday’s Issue of The Georgian
there appeared an article under the
caption. "Old DeKnlb Was Pioneer In
Prohibition Movement; Asked for the
Law In 1882." If this be true, ull honor
to the good county of DeKalb. But If
I am not mistaken. McDuffie county Is
entitled to this distinction, having
asked for the enactment of a pro-
hlbttlon law in 1879 or 1880. I think
that Hon. Henry C. Roney represented
McDuffie county In the legislature at
that time, and secured the passage of
the act for his county. I am not posi
tive about this.
The peopte of Georgia have cause
for rejoicing over the victory Just won.
It will shape for good the destinies of
generations yet unborn, and help to
brighten and bless the Jives of men
and women In the ages to come.
To the 139 "faithful” who so valiant.
Iy supported the btU. we say * "well
done." Fbr the gentlemen who hon
estly opposed Its passage, let us have
naught but the kindest feelings. Life
le too short, and itc issues and re
sponsibilities- too momentous, and far-
reaching, for us to Indulge bitter and
unkind sentiments. There’s nobler
wort, ahead.

COULDN’T DO WITHOUT IT
To the Editor of The Georgian:
I have been rending your valuable paper since It was first published.
My' time expired on July 25. I was reading so many different papers
that I thought I could get along without it, and would not renew my sub
scription. But during the few days that X have been without 1t, X have
missed It so much nnd have been so lost without It, that I have decided
If It becomes necessary, to deny myself of some other comforts and en
joyments of life, in order to pay for The Georgian. I think more of It
than AH the other papers combined. Your paper is great, intellectually
and patriotically, but above all, I value It for the noble and manly fight
which It has made Against the great demon, alcohol, with which our
land and our people have so long been cursed. Thank God, %ve are stand
ing today In the dawn of better times. All honor to our noble repre
sentatives who have stood shoulder to shoulder In 4hlt» great fight which
has been waged for God, for country and for home.
