The Punishment of Crime. When we consider tho question of the trlsl and couvlctlott of criminals, tho record Is. perhaps, still morn discouraging, because failure here in failure of the best people, not of the worst. Well theu. what Is our record in that respect? In the year 18S5. there was one execution for seventeen hom icides; lu 1994. one execution for seventy* three homicide*. If this meant an Im provement In the penology of the country.

So tho mayor hoa vetoed, as many people believed he would do, the fa mous bill passed by tho famous council of Atlanta. Of course, this will go down In history, nnd moke Interesting reading for a long time to come. Did the mayor do right? That’s the question. On this proposition many people t differ. Hundreds, yea, thou sands, agreed with the mayor; some good persons and some bad, while many declare him very wicked for doing so heartless a thing. Some declared that exalted privilege of sending men to the bottomless pit through /ihc cheaper route. Tell me which system, the low li cense or the high license, will bo the most comforting to the mother when her boy Alls n drunkard’s grave.

WILLINGHAM & CO., 542 WHITEHALL STREET. mayor It would certainly bring on a prohibition election, while others de clared with equal emphasis, that if the mayor vetoed tho measure the election would be provoked. The mayor gives his unqualified In dorsement to low license, such as has obtained In Atlanta for nlnotcen years. Maybe the mayor think* that the high license system will land a fellow in hell Just as effectually and Just as promptly as the low license system. If that be so, and the present plan Is working very beautifully, why not let well enough alone? Tho mayor says: > "1 know what Is just und what Is right, and this whole quostlon should never have been agi tated." Now If the mayor knows—and he says ho knows—then u large com pany of pretty respectable people nnd some not so respectable, don’t know, nnd so this trouble Is brought on us for nothing—all on account of the Igno rance of "folks." O, the Ignorance, the stupidity of Atlanta cltlsens! I know the mayor must feel ashamed of them. Surely their notions In this matter must be humiliating to his honor. Why disturb Atlanta?- Why break up the peace and harmony of the whole liquor fraternity? Why put such a premium on a mother's boy when he can slide so easily Into hell, and tor such a small sum? Of course the soul of a boy Is not worth 13,000. Don't be extrava gant: be very economical. Put Just values on man and beast. Learn the rules of equity. Pay 13,000, 13,000, If necessary, for n race horse, but to pay more than J350 or $500 for a boy—he may be the finest on earth—Is unpar donable extravagance. Then, too, tl deprives the little rum sellers of the ly secure under Its provisions. 1 Atlanta has prospered for the last 19 years and during the low license reign, but not "under it," or on account of It, simply In spite of It. If Atlanta has prospered during the nineteen years— and sht has—while liquor was blight ing and damning everything It touched, God only knows the prosperity and peace that might have crowned her, this fair city of the South, had the liquor curse been removed. And everybody la not "secure,” nor "felt secure," either—not by a good deal. Truth Is, no man nor set of men has a right to break a woman's heart nor damn a mother's hoy for pecuniary gain. Let the price be tl or $10,000. And If the licensed saloon Is not In the wrecking business then nothing wrecks. Whether the mayor approves or ve toes, whether men clamor for high li cense or low license, some of us are unalterably and eternally opposed to selling human beings to the rum devil. The whole llcehse system Is wrong, cruelly wrong. No government, no mu nicipality, has any moral right to II- rense the hurt of any living man, I don't care what the compensation Is. The queen of Madagascar says she will not license any buslnoss lu her kingdom that would do harm (o her subjects, so there are no licensed sa loons In Madagascar. Let the muyor of Atlanta learn a lesson from the heathen queen. Let patriotic citizens from every section of old Fulton rise up end say, Down with the liquor shops! Let every Christian gentleman from the greatest man In the pulpit to the humblest man In the pew, do mr> duty. The war Is on. Line up. Stand for the- tempted boy and the endanger ed home. No time for halting. No lime for Inaction, Why wait longer when the enemy Is on the field; when the fair flower of the country Is going down beneath the tires of rum? Gentlemen, sign the petition nnd let the election be called. The licensed system will not, cannot, settle the prob lem. To abolish the rum traffic alone, Is to settle It. A compromise Is a sin and a crime. C. SOLOMON. By M. D. GLEA80N, Thore Is an unusually large num ber of fraternal men living In Atlanta at present, who Joined tho various or- deis elsewhere before moving In At lnntn, nnd still retain their member ship In these orders, but continue to keep their name on the roll of the subordinate lodge they flrst Joined. Why should not theso members transfer their membership where It Is practicable to an Atlanta lodge of the same order? There Is no doubt a great many who aro permanently located here and many more so situated that they will probably never go back to live in the towns and cities where they became a member of their chosen order. If such be tho case, why havo they delayed so long? They certainly must bo aware that the local lodges of the several dlf. ferent orders In Atlanta are equal. If not superior, to others In the same orders throughout the country. They are residents of our fair city, exercising tho privilege of voting In municipal elections, und mako their living with us. Such being the case, It doe* not seem wl*e nor patriotic to boast of, nor pay dues nnd send money that they earn In Atlanta to other cities, and In some cases to Can ada, when they can Just as well trans fer their membership to an Atlanta lodge of the saino order. Again, there Is another side of the matter that will be benefited more by having the membership In a local lodge than In one a hundred ar a thousand miles away. It Is true every visiting member receives a hearty welcome when he arrives In Atlanta and visits any of the local lodges, hut after that member Is a resident of Atlanta ten or fifteen years he can hardly expect to be shown the same courtesies that he flrst received. While It Is true any member In good standing can visit most any lodge *! his order, yet he can take part In only a limited way In their deliberations. Probably some of our members might advance it sentimental reason why they would rather not transfer. Bentlment Is all right In Its place, but suppose they get slrk or flic, they nor their families can possibly receive the ben efits they are Justly entitled to ns quick as If the membership was In an Atlanta lodge. Frequently some good order l« criti cised because It did not visit some member who was In sickness or dis tress, or was not properly represented at a member's funeral, when In real ity tt was that member or hi* family's fault In hot properly, notifying the proper officials of the order of which he was a member.
