du ALCOHOL—
THE EDUCATIVE METHOD.
By J. D. CLEATON.
The next meeting of the Atlanta So
ciological Society will have under dls-
.■ussion the subject, "Alcohol,” and pa-
pets will be read and discussed- upon
die various, phases of the subje'et—
prohibition, dispensary, the educative
method, etc.
Being appointed to lead the discus
sion of the paper upon the last sub
ject mentioned, and, as I will, perhaps,
be away from tho city at the tlmo of
the meeting, and itsmy argument upon
the subject would be largely the pre-
•entatlon of dutn collected and com-
ptled, rather than original. production.
1 have thought it not 6ut of place to
devote this space at this time to that
matter.
About two and a half years ago Rev.
Sam Jones, the most pronounced, un
compromising anil conscientiously con
sistent flghtor of the sale of alcoholic
drinks of the country, said, In a, letter
to the press:
-With all due respect to wise and
perhaps good men who differ on how
to handle and hamper and control the
liquor business, I have studied the
question, looked ut the facts nnrt seen
the working of the various methods,
until I have come deliberately to the
conclusion that the only prohibition
Unit will prohibit will be found in the
elevation of manhood, and the re-form*
utioii of character, so that all men
will sec that to drink It is a sin against
Bod, and a crime against the common
brotherhood of man."
Commenting upon those utterances,
Thu Altruist, editorially, had tills to
1 much—aye, Infinitely more than a hur
rying multitude will lake time to In
terpret.
■•;» this inconsistency t Never n bit.
'Js it the nail of a despairing, beaten
leader, preparing his followers for an
acknowledgment of defeat?
••No.
“It la but a call for volunteers to or.
ganize another department of service
—a department of educutlon—In the
same grand army of which he is, and
hss been so long, a conspicuous and
gallant figure, among Its great lead
ers."
But Mr. Jones was not first to pro
mulgate this theory. Medical scleuco
lias, long ago, demonstrated that nlco-
-• All up and down this broad land
sjbi Jones bos gone for the past quar
ter of a century and more, crying
aloud and sparing not, against the
rum traffic. lie has seen victory
perched upon the banner of his cause
on many a sanguinary field; has sel
dom gone down In defeat, and has
never struck his colors In the face of
ihc enemy: and, wo know ho never
will. Then for such a man, in the
interest of such a cause, to publish
auch utterances to the world means
hoi Is a poison, dangerous to the hu
man system. Physicians and scientific
men of renown declare that It has no
place In medicine. And Just now, In
England,' tho sentiment Is growing
stronger doily against Its uso in any
form. Sir Victor Horsley, Dr. Kelly,
nack and other wise and scientific phy
sicians are the leading spirits in fos
tering this sentiment.
Tho Journal of the American Medical
Association, some tlmo ago, after dis
cussing the merits claimed for the
drug, and the dangers attending Its use,
h's this to say;
“If It Is dangerous to the system, Is
followed by reaction and tends to ra
cial and individual degeneration, all
these things ought to be considered
before we think of its advantages.”
Medical associations, sections and
societies all over the country are now
giving the subject of "Alcohol and
Its Effects Upon the Human System”
more thought than ever before. Their
Journals carry a great deal of matter
upon the findings and conclusions of
doctors In every Issue. And these are
mostly against Its use, and In favor of
other remedial agents more accurate,
more reliable and less harmful.
The trouble Is, the laity floes not
read medical journals, and these are
mainly the only sources of information
upon the subject, that touches upon
the educational feature. Then, too, we
are biased. We are not ready to give
up the drug. "It’s a mighty good
medicine,” we heard our grandfathers
say, years ago, nnd. In the light of u
fearful experience of lie havoc wrought,
the evil engendered In many forms,
and with the truth constantly brought
out, clearer and more forceful all the
time, that the evil so far outweighs
the good (if there he any good) that It
has no place In medicine, yet we stick
to what the old patriarch, in his delu
sion, said: "It's a mighty good, medi
cine,”
The American people are regarded
as ap sober nation. We have a good
name abroad. ' The people of Canada
are more active and alert against alco
hol than thoso of this nation. Inebrie
ty Is the theme of much study there.
Its treatment is scientific, asylums and
retreats are maintained and reports of
progress from our Northern neighbors
are encouraging.
It has not been many years since
the suggestion of on inebriate asylum
In Georgia would have beni laughed
out of countenance. It is not so now.
Really, a majority of our leading
thinkers. buslilcHS men and law-makers
are in favor of a large appropriation
for its establishment. But for the
agitation of certain philanthropies, that
some how seemed to have been re
garded as holdihg prior claim, the state
would now liuve been well on the way
In providing this crying need.
No greater work could engage tho
thought of this society than that of se.
curing the necessary legislation for the
establishment of a place of refuge, and
for treatment where the afflicted of
this recognized fearful malady—in
ebriety—may find relief. Georgia has,
upon the statutes, a child labor law.
Every member of this society knows
the weight of tho influence the society
brought to bear to secure Its passage in
its present shape. It should encourage
tiie organization to greater activity In
the interest of wholesome, sociological
1 legislation. And, again I Insist, that no
more Important work demands atten
tion than the rational, scientific care
of the whisky Inebriate.
Men may differ In their views upon
prohibition: about dispensary systems:
about high license, and restricted sale.
All of these plans may havo their ad
herents and differences exist. But,
upon the study of alcohol and Its rela
tion to science, ail are agreed. And It
Is this fact, coupled with the further
fact that sentiment against its use is
growing just In proportion to tho study
given the subject, that Justifies the very
strong hope, if not the claim, that the
educative method Is yet to prove the
mortal enemy that Is to dethrone King
Alcohol.

To the Editor of The Georgian:
ongratulate The Georgian on the
position it takes touching the beet-
garden Mrs. Mary Grant Dickaon hopes
to establish on Piedmont avenue. It Is
always refreshing to see a great rlty
.vspaper apeak out on great moral
questions, nnd condemn the liquor evil.
The Georgian Is a great and good dally
and by Ita refusal to publish liquor ad
vertisements and Its courageous stand
for civic righteouanc**, it commends
Itself to all right-thinking Georgians
everywhere.
Of course Mrs. Dixon Is a fine lady
and cultured, and though it may be
her Intention to conduct a beer garden
on ft very "high plane/ and divested of
all unclean and obnoxious features, yet,
In the very nature of things a beer gar
den, a dram shop, u place where in
toxicating drink* are sold, cannot be a
clean Institution.
With all my respect for womanhood
and all the chivalrous feeling'which I
entertain for the fair sex, I am forced
to conclude that no good thing can
come out of a beer garden—no more
on Piedmont avenue than on Decatur
street. Beer Is Intoxicating, and If men
drink enoygh of It they will certainly
get druhk. and I have no doubt that a
sufficient amount will be consumed.
It Is contended that the best people
of Atlanta will attend this fashionable
beer garden. I have no hesitancy in
denying this statement. The fashion
able, the rich, the worldly-minded, may
patronize such a resort, but the best
lure, nnd the moral sensibilities of our
people will be blunted; home life will
be saddened, and churches debauched.
Piety would bleed In our streets; de
cency would rail In tho mire; tho
American Sabbath .would stagger with
assault; and Atlanta, beautiful Atlanta,
would ere long be a wide-open town,
a by-word and a hissing for all good
men. The thought Is simply horrible;
It Ih nn outrage. God keep us from
such a doom; God save us from a beer
garden! J. C. SOLOMON,
Secretary Anti-Saloon League.
strong Argument.
Editor Georgian.
Dear Sir: A few days ago 1 was urgiug the claims of The
Georgian to the consideration of a gentleman who has charge of
the advertising for a film in the city. I claimed that if the papers
being read on the street cars, late in the evening, when people are
going home were counted, The Georgian would be found in the
lead. Tlie gentleman was inclined to question the proposition,
and finally we bet two theater tickets on the result of a count. He
selected the line on which I travel, the new Marietta car line, as
those cars hold the most people. We took the car leaving town
at 5:30 p. m. The result was: Georgians, 11; , 3; 0.
He acknowledged himself beaten, but of course I could not
take the tickets as it was really a sure thing for me, for I had
been noticing it for some tim?. Still I was billing to take any
car line in the city. The new Marietta line was his choice against
my protest.
He agreed to my informing you of the fact provided I did
not mention his name, his reason being that "the boss will say I
ought to have found that out long ago.” I believe if you would
invite the advertising men to count tne papers as they Vide home
at night it would open their eyes. Also call their attention to the
class of people who buy The Georgian, and last, but not least, let
them remember that the man they see with The Georgian is tak
ing it home for his family to read. It is not going to the office
to be chucked into the waste paper basket'as soon as glanced
over.
Hoping you will have long continued success, I remain
Very Truly Yours,
Atlanta, Ga. ’ W. S. MTNTYRE.
Mr. Advertiser
—Have you tried this?
Ti. tho Editor of The Georgian:
fn your Isaui) of October 5# there ap
pears it comment concerning college
fraternities, the general trend of which
Ih In their favor. Believing that not
all of the evidence In connection with
the preeent phaae of the matter wae
submitted, we think It only Just lo the
non-fraternity clement that a few ad
ditional word" be sold with reference to
the prevailing Influence of these or-
gaulxetlon* In our college., today. In
order to form a Jyst and proper eztl-
matc of thla Influence It la well to leave
out of consideration the purpoae for!
sphere of fraternity action promotes
a selfish rather than a broad-minded,
tolerant spirit, nnd tends to bias the
inlnd and produce clannlehne.-a.”
Such objection* ns the»e are based
upon considerations of tho general wel
fare, but probably the most harmful
Influence of fraternities, under existing
conditions. Is that exerted upon the In
dividual members themselves. If the
purpose of a liberal education Is to lay
a firm and broad foundation for the
successful conduct of life, then tho fra
ternity spirit as It Is being manifested
In our colleges today tends to defeat
the very object of education itself. A
young man. Just In the midst of tho
formative period of life, finds himself a
member of a limited and exclusive set
—a net bound together by mere arti
ficial ties—and such a state of affairs
1*'conducive to u narrow view of hu
man life and a misconception of human
friendships. Without regard to what
ever uncongenlalltles that tnay exist
between ono eiemher and another, these
men must be friends and companions,
an.l In this way one's friends nre made
for and not by him. Thus, no opportu
nity is given a member to appeal to his
own Inclinations and desires; his value
of his friendships Is sure to be lowered,
and hta views of love contracted.
