6 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOUENAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1913. ^OUAITRY bjOME TIMED' TOPICS CW)CTEI> BT .FIRS. IT. H-JELLTO/I . Away out in Seattle, state of Washing ton, there is a Presbyterian church which has a congregation of members and bap tize^ children of 7,160 persons as adhe- rants. This church raised for all purposes in 1912 nearly $700,000. They received as new members nearly 600. I take especial pride in the pastor of that great Seattle church, because its pastor was born and raised in Georgia, and began to preach at Calhoun, Gordon county, where I be came acquainted with him. Away back in the ’80s I was invited to speak for temperance in the Good Templars’ hall in Atlanta, when saloons were thick in the city and it took some courgae to stand before a packed audience and tell the story of motherhood’s wrongs and difficulties to numbers of people who had no sympathy for any w$man who ven tured to speak in public. This dear young preacher, he who in the providence of God is now leading in the greatest wogk of Presbyterianism in the United States, was there on that evening when the house, was so crowded that the reporter got his seat under the small table on which I laid my manu script and almost on my very toes, while I did my utmost by appeal, by the use of ridicule and sarcasm, to abate the saloon evil. Rev. Mr. Matthews was present, as he reminds me in a letter just received from far away Seattle, and he made the ad dress in the same building and on the same subject the next night. His earnest face, his conservatism and his zeal won my confidence, and when I know that this same handsome and gifted young preach er is now the pastor of the largest Pro- LIFE’S STRUGGLE WITH ILLNESS Mrs. Stewart Tells How She Suffered from 16 to 45 years old—How Finally Cured. Euphemia, Ohio.—“"Because of total ignorance of how to care for myself when verging into womanhood, and from taking cold when going to school, 1 suf fered from a displacement, and each month I had severe pains and nausea which always meant a lay-off from work for two to four days from' the time I was 16 years old. “I went to Kansas to live with my sis ter and while there a doctor told me of the Pinkham remedies but I did not use them then as my faith in patent medi cines was limited. After my sister died I came home to Ohio to live and that has been my home for the last 18 years. “TheChange of Life came when I was '47 years old and about this time I saw my physical condition plainly described in one of your advertisements. Then I began using Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg etable Compound- and I cannot tell you relief it -gave me in the first three months. It put me right where I need not lay off every month and during the last 18 years I have not paid out two dollars to a doctor, and have been blest with excellent health for a wo- woman of my age and I can thank Lydia E. Pinkham’sV egetable Compound for it. “ Since the Change of Life is over I have been a maternity nurse and being wholly self-supporting I cannot over estimate the value of good health. I have now earned a comfortable little home just by sewing and nursing since I was 52 years old. I have recommended the Compound to many with good re sults, as it is excellent to take before and after childbirth.”—Miss Evelyn Adelia Stewart, Euphemia, Onio.

I remember an occasion which no doubt you have forgotten, namely, when we started the temperance fight in Geor gia you spoke in the Good Templars’ hall one night, and I followed you and spoke on next night on same subject. That was about twenty or twenty-five years ago. How time flies. I think you and I had something to do with be ginning that fight. And the old state is dry today, etc. M. A. MATTHEWS.

How glad I shall be if God spare me to see him, and talk for a minute of another of those good old days, when he and I rode eight miles together on a rainy day to speak to a picnic crowd in Gordon county.

How gracious ly and manfully he exhorted after T got through with my red-hot discourse, where I remember saying that “Georgia took blood money into her palm when she sold liquor licenses to debauch and brutalize her sons, and that it was no worse to take money from brothels to ruin a girl’s innocence than it was to sell permits to bestialize her boys with strong drink.” The politicians looked at me like I was crazy, but Mr. Matthews exhorted for me and he made the welkin ring with apnlause. T sometimes wonder now how I dared to do it. and that was when few other women in Oeoreda dared to face great crowds and hurl defiance in the face of fashionable legalized saloons. “How time flies!” May the good Lord help ns to avail ourselves of present benefits and be grateful! SENATOR J J IMMORTAL POEM John James Ingalls once was a sena tor from the wonderful state of Kansas. He it was who said “Purity in politics is an iridescent dream,” but times change and men keep going forward and purity in politics is fast becoming a possibility. All good dreams come true sooner or later. Had Senator Ingalls chosen literature as a lifework, he might have shined with the immortals. Some of his writ ings. notably his essay on “Blue Grass,” will bear comparison with the finest product of our language. One day he wrote a sonnet. Now son nets are difficult to write,—that is, good sonnets. And as was to be expected, the senator wrote a good one—from the standpoint of rhyme, meter and form. “Opportunity” is the title of that son net, and it has been passed along from and to land until now it girdles the earth. You may know it by heart. If you do not, here it is: Master of human destinies am I! Fame, Lo\ r e and Fortune* on my foot steps wait. Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and, passing by Hovel and mart and palace, soon or late I knock unbidden once at every gate! If sleeping, wake—if feasting rise before I turn away. It is the hour of fate, And they who follow me gain every state Mortals desire, and conquer every foe Save death; but those who doubt or hesitate, Condemned to failure, penury and woe, Seek me in vain, and uselessly implore I answer not and I return no more.

There were many alarming rumors today concerning the condition of the levee at Fitlers landing, where new work was more or less damaged by re cent heavy rains. Major Woodruff has dispatched a steamer to that point with Assistant Engineer Tolllnger aboard for an inspection. Major Wood ruff today said that results at Fitlers depended entirely upon how high the river rose. Twin Evils Which Are Doomed By {Bishop W. A. Candler GLEANS THE HAIR AND MAKES IF LOOK BEAUTIFUL AT 0NCE-2S PER CENT 1ANDERINE" The press dispatches inform us that Secretary MacVeagh has asked the Fed eral Congress for an appropriation of $25,000 to aid the Treasury Depart ment and the Department of Justice in the international work of eradicating the opium evil. It is to be hoped the appropriation will be granted. The Christian nations (so-called) are largely responsible for the continuance of the opium trafflek, England being the chief offender and all the rest being more or less acces sory to the crime. China has set about its utter eradication in that land, and success has crowned the efforts of those pagan people to put away the accursed thing. It is a burning shame to cristen- dom that the Chinese have been forced to endure it so long. It is to the hon our of China that she has dealt with the evil so vigorously and effectively during the last few years, and it is to the discredit of the Christian powers that they have moved in the matter so hesitatingly and ineffectively. By all means let this appropriation, for which Secretary MaeVeagh has asked, be made, and let it be used with wisdom and promptness. Opium is a medicine, having its le gitimate uses within comparatively narrow limits. It should be-' held to those limits in order that it may serve its proper ends and that it may not be perverted to injurious purposes. Prop erly employed it may be a blessing; but when improperly used it Is an unspeak able curse. Such is the case also with alcoholic liquors; within narrow limits they have a certain value for medicinal and other uses; beyond those limits they work immeasurable evil. No words can over state the direful consequences of using alcoholic stimulants as beverages. They ought to be confined by law within the limits of their usefulness; they ought to be put on precisely the same basis in trade as that on which opium and other like drugs are placed. But if Secretary MacVeagh should ask for an appropriation of $25,000 to aid the Treasury Department and the Department of Justice in the work of eradicating the liquor evil, his proposal would be answered with a howl from the brewers, distillers, and saloon-keepers all over the land. Their friends in Congress and outside of Congress would be called upon to resist any such meas ure, even as they have been rallied in an effort to defeat the Kenyon Bill—a measure which proposes to prohibit the interstate shipping of intoxicating liquors into “dry areas” covered by State statutes. But why should not the liquor evil be extirpated as well as the opium evil? In our country at least it is far more wide-spread'and destructive than is the opium evil; thousands perish by the im proper use of alcoholic beverages as compared with hundreds who su^er from the illegitimate use of opium. Why should the less evil be attacked and the larger evil escape the destruction which it so well deserves? Well, the liquor evil will be extir pated. The spread of prohibition dur ing the last twenty-five years has been a surprise even to the friends of the cause. The most hopeful temperance re former, who lived and laboured a quar ter of a century ago, did not dream of the progress the reform has now made. The progress of temperance has been nothing less than a morai revolu tion; and this benign revolution has just begun; it will not turn back. The temperance instruction given in the public schools from the scientific stand-point is making for total abstin ence and prohibition. The railway and insurance companies for business rea sons are enjoining temperance. Com merce is thus joining with education and religion to put down the open sa loon; and the thing wil lbe done far sooner than many now suppose. Just the other day there appeared in the Charlotte Observer the following striking editorial under the caption of “A Doomed Institution”: “It is significant of the changing conditions of the country that one .of the New-York newspapers—Col liers—has begun to discuss the question as to what occupation Shall be provided for the saloon keeper when the present-day saloon goes, as go it must. Even in the larg-e cities of the country the hand writing is seen on the wall. The open saloon is disappearing from the land, and the time is not far away when it will be unknown In the United States. The dispen sation of whiskey through the open saloon is a species of traffic that is destined for final disappearance. Whiskey will for a time after the disappearance of the saloon be ob tainable in some way, but it is not reasonable to suppose that if will survive ^any great length of time, for the traffic in it will be made unprofitable, and it is peddled now mainly for the money that is in the business. The process of the elim- nation of the saloon will be -slow, that of the ridding the country of liquor will be still slower, but no two ends are more certain of final accomplishment. It is certain we shall never again see the open sa loon in North Carolina. It is equal ly certain that in time this institu tion will be searched for in vain iii any State in the Uinon.” All this I steadfastly believe. The -sa loon is most truly “a doomed institu tion.” Men now living can remember when drinking was quite respectable. The de canter was on every side-board, and men of all classes imbibed freely. It did not greatly discredit a business man Wilson’s Ban on Ball Creates Furore Among Washington’s Elite BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—To the indi vidual on the outside looking in, the hue and cry generated by Governor Wil son’s decree against the affair which by courtesy is called the inaugural ball, brings thoughts of comic opera fussing and fuming. This man Wilson is courting ruin fof' his administration, if one oelieved all that is bawled and muttered in the ho tels, clubs, street cars and local news papers. If the merchants and bankers of the capital prevail in influencing public opinion, Wilson will be the most unpopular president that ever graced the White House. However, when all that is being said is boiled down and analyzed, it is dis closed that the clamor is being raised by one element and that element is the element whose sole object is to make the so-called ball a rtiatter of profit for the commercial interests of Washing ton. Many members of the inaugural com mittee make no effort to conceal their disgust over Mr. Wilson’s ideas of sim plicity and economy. Business men, who have an iron in the fire; are giving out caustic interviews, some self-appointed, alleged social leaders are outspoken in their criticisms and It all adds to the fury over the governor’s unheard-of action. If it is any comfort to the president elect to know it, it can be stated on the best of authority that at least one of the ornaments of Washington’s society approves of his action. This brave per son is Preston Gibson, who, according to the legend on his office door, is a playwright. He is also a cotillion lead er, too, and because he is such, his declaration that the ball is no ball at all is getting considerable publicity. That part of Washington which has no mercenary commercial or social in terest in the inauguration ceremony are heartily in accord with the governor and praise his initiative. Marshalls Will Do Very Little Entertaining (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 24—Vice Presi dent Thomas R. Marshall and Mrs. Mar shall, it was announced today have de termined not to take a house in Wash ington. but will live in a hotel during their four years’ residence here. Accommodations were engaged in a hotel within three blocks of the White House. The decision of Governor and VOTES FOR WOMEN BEFORE THE HOUSE OF COMMONS Alfred Lyttleton Calls Up the Amendment on Friday, Debate Follows (By Associated Press.) .LONDON, Jan. 24.—The critical stage was reached this afternoon in the for ty-five years’ struggle to obtain votes for women, started in the house of com mons by John Stuart Mill in 1867. Alfred Lyttleton, immediately after “question time,” moved the amendment to- eliminate the word “male” from the franchise reform bill. His arguments were along familiar lines urging that the trend of recent legislation was to call women into the counsels of the na tion. Lewis Harcourt, secretary of state for the colonies, who has not forgotten the attempt made some months ago by suffragettes to burn down his anoes- tral home at Nuneham Park, bitterly as sailed woman’s suffrage and his col leagues in the cabinet, especially Sir Edward Grey and David Lloyd-George. “The adoption of methods of vio lence,” he urged, “is an indication oi the type of mental balance we may ex pect from women if they get the vote.” ■ , t- Women Will Aid Farmers to Break High Food Prices (By Associated Press.) MOBILE, Ala., Jan. 25.—Nineteen so ciety women of Mobile, most of whom are members of the Home Economic club, have volunteered to act as agents for Mobile county farmers in the mar keting of country produce, including vetegables, eggs and butter. Each of these women will sell among her neighbors the produce at cost. The crates are valued at 50 cents each plus 25 cents to cover the cost of mailing by parcel post.

Keeping the Body in Repair Nature intended that the body should do its own repairing—and it would do so were it not for the fact that most of us live other than a natural life. Nature didn’t intend that we should wear corsets, tight collars or shoes, nor live in badly ventilated and draughty houses, nor eat and drink some of the things that we do, nor ride in street cars when we should walk. The consequence is that the body when it gets out of order must look for out side help to make the necessary repairs.

Except among the extremes of society—some of the opulent who feel that they can defy public opinion and some of the indigent who feel that they have fallen below public opinion—no man dares now to livfi after that fashion. The decayed and degraded extremities of society may tolerate it, but the great whole some-minded middle class will not en dure it for a moment. Sober-minded business men have no place for topers or tipplers in their commercial enter prises. Some old people can recall also that the business of keeping a bar-room was not accounted very bad some years ago; but now saloon-keeping is no longer respectable. More and more the busi ness is driven into the hands of the disreputable. As it is forced into deeper and deeper disrepute it descends to worse and worse methods; and this fact increases the shame of having anything to do with it. It is thus shut up to run a rapid course to utter de struction. No business whatsoever can withstand for long the forces which are now operating for the over throw of th e saloon. Any man who is engaged in it and who has two eyes in his head can see the hand-writing of judgement oil the wal lagainst it. If any man chooses to continue ni a business so manifestly doomed, he will have no one but him self to blam e for the losses he is sure to incur. Any bank, or other lender of money, who makes loans on liquor stocks, must get ready to lose also. The institution is doomed. Nothing can stay its fall. The movement for its de struction is running with a daily accel erated motion; and the temperance re formation of the future is going to come more speedily than anything which has come in the past; and it is going to be more overwhelming. The politician who trifles with this matter is going to be retired in shame and disgrace. Some have been sur prised by what has already come to pass, but greater surprises are in store for the advocates and apologists of the open saloon. Some cities are going to suffer dam age on account of the disposition of their authorities to nullify laws passed to promote temperance and overthrow the saloon. Our increasingly prosper ous and powerful agricultural classes are not going to endure patiently the demoralization of industry and the im periling of their families by the send ing of liquors from certain urban com munities into the rural districts. That city in Georga whch is last to yield to our prohibition laws will in the end pay a heavy bli of damages for the wick edness of undertaking to nullify the laws of the state and profit by a nefa rious business. Its citizens may take such a statement as a most visionary and preposterous expression of opin ion; but they will find themselves mis taken; they mistake the echoes of their own local utterances as the voice of the sovereign State of Georgia. It is tim© that they listened to some one other iuan themselves. The sa.oon in Georgia is “a doomed i: stitution,” whether it now hides in u. mountain or lingers by the sea. As the Charlotte Observer truly Observes “in tim e this institution will be Sv. arched for in vain in any State in th^ Union.” The opium evil and the liquor evil, twin monsters which often feed on the same life, must go. They are doomed. Atlantain’s Mother May Live to Read a Notice of Own Death (By Associated Press.) RICHMOND, Va., Jan. 25.—Mrs. A. W. Bethel, mother of L. L.
