f SHOULD ABIDE BA THE JUW,
i
The Times-Recorder Is opposed to
State prohibition. But it is equally as
strongly opposed to lawlessness of any
kind. The State having gone dry by
legislative enactment it is the duty
of every law abiding citizen to bow to ,
the law, no matter how unnecessary ,
and unwise it may seem to him, and re- f
fuse to become a party, either directly ]
I or indirectly, to its violation. - |
I it is openly asserted in some cities ,
and towns that the law cannot and
• will not be enforced. The law is ,
- -
on the statute books, or soon will be
as tilings now look, and it should be
enforced like any other law. The
mere fact that many citizens are op
posed to it is no justification for a
failure to enforce it vigorously. Other
laws are enforced that people are
not in favor of. So should the prohi
bition law be.
The law is a drastic one. It appears
to us to grossly infringe on the rights
of man. Much is claimed for it. The
1 y way to test its virtues is to eu
ro r<>- it in every community without
fear aiul*wiNy>ut favor. That is the
best way to make it odious, if it is an
unjust and unnecessary law. That
is the best way to demonstrate that
it is a wise law, if it ’-?ally is a wise (
law, if it really is wh lV- Ag promoters ;
claim for it. .|
When January 1 ai nves and prohi- i
bition goes into effect there should be i
an immediate, ceaseless relentless ]
warfare on the blind tiger. it is up :
to the State and the local authorities
to enforce this law, just like any other i
law. We hope that this view will be i
taken of the situation and that we
will have a practical demonstration as
• to what prohibition really means when
, it really prohibits as far as State ,
enactments can do it.

Visit the great Pabst Brewery at Milwaukee, and you will
g marvel at its immaculate cleanliness. Pabst believes that pure H a a Bps
8 I beer demanc * s a clean brewery, and Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer has H I if I
■ been recognized for years as the standard of purity in beers. 11l H if If ipl
I ft- You demand that your home be clean, and especially your wn|S| ® B||||

insure perfect cleanliness in the best of all beers—

W From the time the barley goes into the Pabst malt
■ ' £|S|A houses, and the hops into the Pabst brewery, no ingredient I
f used in Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer comes in contact with
V / human hands. Even the air in which the malt is grown,
ky the famous Pabst Eight-Day Malting Process, is
f Is®“ ~ washed and filtered; every kettle, pipe and tank is regu
f larl Y and thoroughly cleaned and sterilized.
£ HI After the beer is brewed the atmosphere never touches it. It is
| a & e d in air-tight tanks, it is filtered, bottled and pasteurized; it is a I
; ; jg clean beer, just as it is a pure beer—and cleanliness and purity make |
it a good beer for you to drink.
Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is rich in the food values of perfect malt I
f Q^ l ' 1 and the tonic properties of choicest hops, with a very low percentage
a^co^lo^ —^ ess than 3/4 %—strictly a temperance beverage.

(Savannah Press.)
President Hanson of the Central °
railway in his address before the rail
road and judiciary committees of the
general assembly up outhe Central 0
railroad presented some interesting
facts for the consideration of the law
makers. I
There is probably no man in Geor
gia better qualified to give the rail
road’s side of the question than Pies- 1
Hanson. He declared that the road is
not over capitalized and stated with
emphasis that the property cost more 1
than its capitalization and is worth 1
more.
Among other things President Han
son said: ]
“We are not now earning a fair <
return upon the value of our prop
erty. Our earnings are not sufficient
to enable us to get the additional '
funds which we absolutely need to
provide the service which the public
demands; and yet, it is proposed that
this legislature shall make the situa
tion worse by further decreasing our
rates, by largely increasing our lia
bilities for personal injuries and dam-
ages, including the addition of severe
penalties, and by giving to the rail
road commission, which already has
the power to decrease our rates, the
further power to increase our ser
ving, regulate our schedules —in other
words,, to spend all of our money for
us. Tlris must result in a further de
crease in net income, and a fuuher
loss of credit and therefore greater
inability to provide necessary funds
for the improvement and development
ot the property.”
Haven of Rest.
It Is desirable that each sex should
occasionally escape from the other. It
is restful to the nerves to do so; it Is
good for men to be with men only and
for women to be alone with women
now and then, and the club is essen
tially the place for each sex to find
rest from the other and enjoy its own
society.—London Lady’s Pictorial.
Welcome Home.
Peddler Wouldn’t you like some
mottoes for your house, mum? It’s
very cheering to .a husband to see a
nice motto on the wall when he comes
home. Mrs. Dagg—You might sell me
one if you’ve got one that says, “Bet
ter late than never.”
A Mean Trick.
Smith—You say you write dunning
letters to yourself and sign them with
fictitious names. What do you do that
for? Jones—You see, my wife is al
ways after me for money, and when
she reads those letters she becomes
discouraged.
A Fresh Clerk.
Customer—What hdve you got that
Is strictly fresh? Grocer—One mo
