Now we do not suppose there is a man or wo* man In the state ol Georgia but what admits that strong drink is a fearful curse, and would like to see it wiped entirely out of the country; but the question is, can this desirable end be accomplished by legislative enact* ment? While we believe In throwing every restraint possible around the dealer—as is now doue in Georgia—at rendu two the same time we do not believe yoti can .legislate tomperance into a people any more then you can morality and religion. For a time you may perhaps eheek the evil, but a reaction is sure to come, which is far more demoralising In its efiects than had the teat never heengi*de. Human nature la a per* Ihlsjp -and we Americans are Very jealous of our individual rights and privileges. When you forbid a man doing a thing bis first inclina tion is to attempt it, especially whon be feels it as an infringement upon his private rights. This is the way with whlskeydriuking. Let the leg islature tnrldd its sule within a pre scribed territory, and if a man has ever beeu addicted to its use ho will huve it at all hazards, and probably drink more than he would otherwise have doue. We have now in our mind a number of counties and towns in Georgia where prohibition has been thoroughly tested, but after a very short time each lias glveu up the ex periment and again opened their bar rooms. Strong driuk is a wily and mighty monster and there are but two ways by which it can be successfully com bated. First, educate the coming gen- oration to look upon It as something degrading and to l-e despised. Tlie la dles can accomplish a great deal by posltively refusing to receive or asso ciate with any young man who pat ronizes tipiing shops. Let the good and virtuous people of the country frown down upon drunkenness, and show a man that lie loses caste every time he indulges in public intoxica tion. We believe that the legislature could even go so far, with good effect, as to pas* a law punishing drunkards, A man has no more right to muke u public display of himself while Intox icated than he lnut to oommit any oth er crime against the pe tee and good order of the land. An example mode of a few of these cases woqld have a most sanitary effect up on others, ft would place the drunk ard on the same level with any other 'Criminal, and causp every man wild naa any self-resjiect to place a check upon his appetite. We belt- ve that this is the most effective nay that li quor can he attacked. Educate tem perance into the people, pluce the trafic upon the same footing with any* other business, and theu see that* man does not abuse It. We are not one of those who believe the world is degenerating in this respect. J?ve* within the scope of our short life we oan remember when it was nut an un common ihtug to see our rural vil lages, on public days, filled with spec-table citizens rendered wild by drink. Now it is rather an uncom mon tiling to see a man beastly drunk upon the street, and this indulgence is generally confined to a very low grade of society. A gentleman would feel that he had degraded himself by this display. No; our country is ini* proving in this respect, and in a few more decades we look to see whisky confined almost to Its legitimate chan nels. But if we wish at uue stroke to sweep the cursed stuff from tlie land there is only one power that can ac- complish it—the general government. Let our rulers in Washington take the matter iu baud and have it only sold through certain channels and for specified purposes. I sit the govern ment control the stills and iwpurta* tions aud have depots of supply estab lished Where necessary. This is the only power that oan crush it. Partial or aectlonul prohibition amounts to naught. Look at tlie history of Maine and other states that eugagvdiu tlie gi gantic task, and see the failures they have made. No; strong driuk is a demon too mighty to be attacked by any one state, oounty or corpora tion. You may waliu the monster for a time, but he will quickly raise him self and prove still more deadly In bia ravages upon the human race. We believe in the legislature throw ing every restraint around the liquor dealers aud exteud the hand of pro tection to tlie slaves of strong driuk, butftirtber than this they cannot go with safety. A law, unless it is back ed by the sympathy of a majority ol the people, will prove a dead letter— and we are convinced that a largo ma jority of the citizens of Georgia believe in free liquor.
