Tt is thought that the whisky ele
meat is looking forward to some
radical changes next session of the
Icgisliitiife that will he non favor
able to them, and that they arc
prepared to show that the consump
tion has not appreciably decreased,
and that whiskey is still Iteifig sold
In Georgia, in immense quantities
in direct violation of the law, and
that the state is diriving no revenue
from it.
It is claimed that wherever pub
lic scntinr’nt is against a certain
law it is very difficult to enforce
that law. Grant that the forgoing
is true.
Shall we repeal the law agaii st
carrying concealed weapons because
the law is flagrantly violated?
Shall we repeal the law against mur
der because hardly two per
cent of the murders in Georgia arc
punished? It seem*, to us that the
thing to do b to wip > out tl e n a r
beer saloons, and use every effort
possiblo towards the proper enforce
ment of tin* prohibition laws.
Draw the reins of the law tight
around the violations. Elect men
to office who will enforce the
laws, and you won’t hear so much
about prohibition being a failure in
Oeorgia.
Commander Perry says he select.-
a negro to accompany him on his
last dash to the pole, as he l was
afraid that a white man might
claim a share in the glory.
A man capable of such a narrow
and contcmptable proeeedure as to
rob his comrades of their rightful
.share in the honor and glory that
would naturally he bestowed upon

of a brave and generous people.
If the American people are convin
ce 1 that the North Pole was really
discovered on this expedition, Com
mander Peary, who was in charge
of the expedition would of course be
recognized as the discoverer, but
the fact that lie was unwilling to
share the honor with his faithful
followers who bore equal hardships,
marks him as a man devoid of gen
erosity, jealous in disposition and
unworthy to boar the honors that
should he bestowed upon a great
j dicoverer.
Prohibition in Georgia
About two and a half or three
years ago the prohibition wave
struck this country with the tre
ii.g down the mountain side. It
cairi d everything Ik fore it. r i L
moderate dram drinkei who took
ids three little drinks a day, iht |
man who ordered his jug and imbib
ed regu^irly f r his stomaen’s sake,
the tippler, and even the habitual
drunkard joined forces with the
rock ribbed prohibitionists, and
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee,
North and South Carolina passed
state wide prohibition laws anu
stand today as evidences of the
success or failure of prohibition as
a state wide issue.
Well, what is the record? What
about Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah,
Macon, and other large cities where,
it seems, that the sentiment of the
majority was not in favor of this is
sue. These communities, it seemed,
favored local option. Lot every
community take care of its own lo
cal affairs,” they said; but the
great sovereign state of Georgia,
within whose limits even Atlanta is
located, exerted her sovereignty and,
governed by a majority <>l her rep
resentatives in the legislature, pre
sumed to state that the people of
Georgia would rule and that the
voice of her people sounding forth
all the way from the hills of old
Habersham to the Marshes i f
Glynn, from South Carolina to Al
abama and from Tennessee and
North Carolina to Florida was the
voice of the majority that should
rule in every democratic govern
ment upon the face of the earth.
Is prohibition a failure in Geor
gia lias it lessened the consump
tion of liquor? Is drunkenness
more or less prevalent? Is state
wide prohibition or dispensaries
preferable? Shall we allow bar
rooms to be opened in the commu
nities where they are desiied and
close them in communities that do
not desire them?
And the near beer saloon, that
miserable subterfuge: what shall we
do with it? All of these questions
will agitate the minds of the* peo
ple more and more as the time ap
proaches for the opening of the

The whiskey men claim that pro
hibition in Georgia has been a fail
ure localise the law' has' not been

direct violation of the lav.' and the
