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.

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. A COLLEGE MAN.
