He Is probably ready to come home BIRMINGHAM’S BATTLE A SIGNIFICANT ONE. And bo Hirmlngham has floated its vdjite ribbon to the breeze of this reforming year and takes its stand among the moral cities of tho republic. Thai rote In Jefferson* county was astonishing to all participants in the campaign which closed on Monday. It was regarded as a doubtful battle with probabilities .balanced between both sides and with both sides anxious and in doubt. . And 2,000 majority In a single county Is not a bad record for pro hibition even In this year of tidal wares of temperance. It Is doubtful after the result In Birmingham If any city In the South has any reason to be discouraged over the result of a faithful and earnest fight for prohibition. There Is not a city which cannot win and wear the white ribbon If It will only organize and fight as Birmingham did, and Anniston. Wo are quite sure that Chattanooga and JacltsdnvIIIe. whoso Jug trade will menace Georgia on Its northern and southern borders, w lit fol low fast in tho line of Birmingham's achievement If they only go at .it with unfailing courage and with vigorous hope. For Birmingham was not a city naturally expected to go for prohibi tion. It Is a etty of mills and furnaces, a city of work and Industry- Its population was largely born and largoly recruited from the foreign ele ments of our own American population. It was a population which one would have expected to favor the continental Sabbath and to remember the beer gardens of Europo and the anti-prohibition sentiment of tho old world. Hut that E»s!e.v, tho first industrial city of tho South In pro portion to Its size, should give a sweeping majority for prohibition, tells a tale blazing with hope that the foreign element. Itself has como to realize that saving and thrift and happy homes and moral uplift follows tiyc line of prohibition to tho dethronement of tho liquor traffic. Birmingham Is a strong strategic redoubt which has been captured In the enemy's country. The results of Its Monday's battlo will have a far- reaching effect throughout tho Industrial an well as tho agricultural South. And we arc quite sure that the moral people of Jefferson county will have something more then selfish or personal cause of congratula tion In the splondld battle which they have fought and won for them selves and for this Southern country. A PINE “TIP” FOR OUR FUTURE CONVENTIONS. One of the most beautiful. If not tho most beautiful, Impromptu tribute that Atlanta and the South have ever received, was spoken Saturday evening at tho Pledmout Driving Club. > The speaker was Charles Hart, the newly eleoted president of the International League of Presfi Clubs, and tho audience was a large con tingent of the press people of other sections and a half hundred Indies and gentlemen of Atlanta. ' It was not only the charming manner and tho silver speech of the Press Loaguo president that made notable his response to a brief and un pretentious address of welcome, but It was what he said and the sug- gcstlvcneas of what he said. The Pros* League had just come from Birmingham and that city with its usual hospitality had ontortalned its people well and kindly. They had been banqueted and excurted to every portion of Its city and its environment. There was no lack or complaint of hospitality in the Iron City of the South. But the Press League delegates went away from Atlanta feeling and saying that they had each had the time 'of their lives, and that their brief day In tile capital city of Dixie had been worth more In pleasure and Inspiration than all they had received since they hod crossed tho line of the Potomac and tho Ohio. There Was no booming done for Atlanta in the welcome accorded to Its newspaper guests. There was very' lit tle of boasting and that of a purely casual nature, but tho guests were made to feel at homo and they woro regaled with sentiment private and public which dealt with affairs of hospitality and wclcomo of patriot ism and of tho genuine gallantry toward their women and our own gracious women. ■ ■'Wo have been fed full, oven to satiety," said President Hart, “with the hospitality of Birmingham and Alabama. We appreciate all of our hosts, but that Is not what wo came South to aee. We knew that the South was prosperous, and if we had not known It, wo could have bad the fact told us In a dozen lines and our eyes could have caught It at a single glance. But wo ourselves came out of tho smoko and dust of rooking mills and booming Industrlca and we don’t come South to hear or seo any more of them. What every man north and eaat of the river comes South to see and to hoar is tho touch of the South Itself, whBt we have heard of It, what we have dreamed of It—Its gallantry. Its graco and Ita chiv alry, lta charming courtoslos. Its beautiful women and the reverence and chivalry In which they are cherished by the gallant gentlemen of tho South. We come here to seo soft skies, bright suns and tender moons and moonlight on torraoo*, and to hear of love and to sep that breath ing graco of courtesy which la famous all over the world. And when wc fall to seo or hear those things no material exhibit of your throb bing, hustling, steaming prosperity satisfies the Northern visitor to this beautiful laud of romance and of song." Along this lino tho speaker talked for ton minutes In » strain of surpassing sweetness and naturalness reinforced by a manner and a silver elocution that mado tho speech a charm to all who heard It. But It was something better than a charm, it was a revelation to the South along the lines of Its futurs hospitality. It showed from the Ups of an almost Inspired visitor that any hospitality I* mistaken and Inadequate In this Southern country that does not give to our visitor! a touch of the things which make the South tho dream and aspiration of all other parts of onr American world. Lot us take a cue from President Hart of the International Preta Club, and hereafter when our vlsltora como to Atlanta, from whatever part of the country or of the world they coma, let us treat them as tha press committee treated the Press League. Let us give them a breath of ourselves, a suggestion of our civilisation, a sight of our women, tho charm of our chivalry and that unbought grace of living which has made the most charming and delightful peoplo of the world. The world thinks this of us, the world rca^s these things about us, and when the world comes to see us It comes as ipuch or more to see the people as to seo their factories or their fields. And so with a gracious acknowledgment of tho really exqulaite and inspiring trlbuto which President Hart of the Press Club has paid us, let us gather In true Southern tact tho lesson which his lips hare borne us and let u* remember that while wo parade our achievements and hlszou our prosperity, the thing of all things most charming to the people of other section* and of other lands Is the exhibition of the South of chivalry, of the South of romance, of tho 8outh of our beautiful women, and of patriotic sentlmont. * President Hart has given Atlanta the cue by which It can make Its future hospitality transcend all othor expressions of hospitality even as the oac bright day In Atlanta was worth to the Press people four solid days of mnterjjil splendor In Birmingham. A RESPECTFUL SUGGESTION TO BARTOW. In the Interest of a sentiment that will be felt throughout the state. The Georgian desires to make a suggestion—to prefer. Indeed, a respectful request to the good people of Bartow county. Perhaps It Is not necessary to do so. Possibly—indeed probably— the thought has already suggested Itself to that community, rndeed, we doubt not that that splendid people havei already fait bow generoua and gracious a tribute It would bo to the memory of au honored and well loved aon of Bartow, If her peoplo should voluntarily lay upon the shoulders of Paul Akin the tega so worthily worn and so honorably and spotlessly laid aside by the late senator from the Forty-second. Wc make the suggestion, not In any spirit of meddling or pre sumption—with no Impulse to Interfere In the local concerns of any countv: but as a citizen of Georgia, claiming a share In the pride which Georgia feele In the stainless memory of the high-minded gentleman whom Bartow gave to the state. Not' only do we. In common with all good citizens, claim a share In that memory, hut wo claim also a portion itt the affectionate grief that the state, as well as hla native county, feela far his untimely cutting off, and so me desire that generous testimony should bo borne to the loving regard and respect In which the late president of the senste was held by all the people. , In this spirit. In respectful deference to the political rights of his native county. The Georgian earnestly hopes that the good people of Bartow will join with us In tha sentiment, that no more gentle tribute could be paid to John Akin's memory than by a voluntary and spon taneous tender of bis unexpired term, and without u dissenting voice, to his younger brother and law partner. Nor Indeed. In point of worthiness, would it he an easy matter to find a man more suitable to represent the district. Reared in large measure under the tutelage of hla lamented brother; Imbued with tho stainless personal spirit and high civic purposes of that clean-minded gen tleman; and partaking with him of tho same splendid heritage of patriotic blood, It would be easy to go far and find no more promising successor. Above all things. It seems to us that It would be a peculiarly gra cious and appropriate thing. If the succession should bo voluntarily offered with no discordant voice. There are times when things like this arc not merely generous and beautiful, but become a sort of civic duty. States and communities are elevated by acts of generous courtesy. This Is pe culiarly an appropriate occasion for such an action, and John Akin s friends throughout tho state (and they are legion) would accept It aa an act very grateful to tholr feelings. There are many of them In Geor gia who would wish that there he no contest for hla seat, but that the peoplo whom he loved and cherished most should select his succes sor In some way that would zoom a tribute paid to him. And how could our good friends In Bartow do more signal honor to the memory of a well loved son than by voluntarily selecting his brother as their spokesman In hin stead? Of a certainty the people of the state would hall It as a very gracious act. It would bo well pleasing to tho spirit of a generous people.

Others who read the document, the last will and testament of Charles Lounr- bury. who died Insane In the Cook County Asylum, nt Dunning, lit., were disposed to agree with him. Here It Is: "I, Charles Lounsbury. being of sound mind and disposing memory, do hereby make and publish this, my last will and testament. In order as justly as may be to distribute my Interest In the world among succeeding men. "That part of my Interest which le known In law and recognized In the sheep-bound volumes as my property, being Inconsiderable and of no account, I make no disposal of In this, my will. "My right to live, being but a life estate, Is not at my disposal, but these things excepted all else In tho world I now proceed to devise nnd bequeath: "Item—I give to good fathers and mothers.

And I leave the children the long, long days to be merry In.

Temple, Go. ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW WITH CHURCH AND STATE. To the Editor of The Georgian: There will never come a time w hen the knowledge of how to distill or brew alcoholic aplrlta will h* loaf among men, and piwbnbly should not be. There In nothing equal to It as a medicine In a, general way, confined In legitimate; channels, but If we are going to have] prohibition, let'* have prohibition thst prohibit*, anil not let prahlbltluu, feed th» court house more than open 'bar room*. Moral suasion among the churches for their respective member ship to "render unto t’nesnr the ihlt)g» that are Caesar's" is the only thing In th|* connection to keep this subject ogt of.politics. A* far us I am concerned, t have no compunction* of conscience over taking a drink at whisky or get-vr ting intoxicated, provided no temporal! Inconvenience result*, I suppose, hop-i ever, a man might, sear his conscience along any line: i ; This is one time and prohibition I* one law whose virtual enforcement Is as much In thn hands of the church as It Is In the hand* of the etate. Thi spirit of Bacchus Is n deceptive spirit, but while It flows you'll often notice more liberality nnd law In o barroom than you will In a dead church. , It le up to the preachers to tell tlttlr congregations to obey the law, whet?" It involve* s question of morality uot. An honest ttifTeranca of oplnl about making and drinking whisky I existed from nwav back. Law, to law, must have the mural support of, censorship last It be worse than no nnd become a plaything for Jack-leg lawyers. The fathers of the prohibition law must raise Its children. I heard a man preaching on the etreets of Atlan ta the other night- He said ne traiuu»«" to no church, but w4s the enemy of no church. He «sld he was preaching to reclaim and save chureh members. » the church membership In Georgia_were to agree to a man to abide by and en force any law, It would be so complete thst ere long the law’s necessity would be forgotten. The American people grew so big before they Americanised that they will hsve to appoint a eser some day until they catch up with their growth. CLYDE PARKS COUSINS. J-vUrtb-WN ri,
