BEY. BASCOM ANTHONY IS RIGHT. 1
RIGHT.
Today the Times-Recorder pub- i
lishes a very interesting interview \
with Rev. Bascom Anthony, of Sav
annah, on some aspects of the pro- j
hibition fight that have not been gen- «
erally referred to. I
The position of the Times-Recorder t
on this question is well known, but
it may bear repetition. We do not ■»
believe in prohibition, but inasmuch
as we are sadly 1n the minority and i
the law is to he passed we believe I
that it should be as rigidly enforced l
as possible, i.aws are not made mere- <
ly to be'printed. They are made to J
be carried into effect. A law that it <
not enforced speedily sinks into pub- ;
lie contempt 'and creates a feeling I
of contempt for Jaws in general that
is destructive of the foundations on i
which civilized society rests. <
Mr. Anthony does not endorse the 1
idea that seems to be growing in <
popularity with the more rabid prohis, -
that a state detective force should be <
created to assist in the enforcement
of the law in cities where there is
believed to he lack of desire on thF
part of the municipal authorities to
enforce it. It is well known that
this feeling is particularly aimed at
Savannah. The spokesmen of that
city made some had breaks in their
arguments against prohibition, and
one of them was the declaration that
the law could not be enforced in
that city. The day after this appear
ed the Times-Recorder heard an ar
dent prohi say “well, if Savannah’s
government can’t enforce the law the
State government can.’’
Mr. Anthony is right in his view,
nevertheless. It would be folly for
‘ the State to go into the detective busi
ness in any such fashion as some of
our ardent prohi friends think pro
per. The present machinery for the
detection and punishment of violators
of the law is adequate. The munici
' pal machinery, added to the existing
State machinery, the grand juries
and solicitors general, should be relied
l on to make it uncomfortably warm
for the blind tiger. The introduction
of a State force for this especial pur-
pose would do far more to retard than
to advance the cause so dear to the
heart of the prohibitionists, that of
really driving liquor out of Geor
gia.
Whether one agrees with Mr. An
thony in his sentiments and conclu
sions, what that g entleman says
makes good reading. The Times-Re
corder is here to furnish good read
ing matter, on both sides of such
questions and as such it commends
that chat with Bascom Anthony.

THE ACQUITTAL OF HAYWOOD.
Haywood has been acquitted out
in Idaho of the terrible crimes for
which he was indicted.
While Haywood may have been
guilty of some of the offenses charg
ed against him the confessions of
Harry Orchard were sufficient to ac
quit almost any one.
Orchard struck the public mind as
H monumental liar.
Moderation is a good trait even in
a liar. Orchard's confessions gagged
the public. They were a tritie too
lurid to swallow. And then there was
a feeling, even in the Hast, that the
Pinkerton agency, aiid the mine own
ers confederation, were not as white
as snow by any means in this whole
business.
The probable truth of the matter
is that if the Pinkertons, the heads
of the mine owners confederation, and
the chiefs of the miners’ organization
could all be put into a bag and
dumped into the Pacific the people
of Idaho would rise up and call them
selves blessed.

Legend of the Violet.
A Latin poem of the sixteenth cen
tury has a pretty legend of a violet
that, in mythological days, was a
maiden called lantliis, one of Diana’s
nymphs. Shu attracted the attention
of Apollo, whose admiration she did
not return, and. flying from ids pur
suit, she implored Diana to destroy the
beauty which occasioned her so much
trouble. Diana granted her request
and turned her face to a dull purple.
lanthis, however, soon regretted the
loss of her beauty and was pining
away with grief, when the goddess
had pity on her and changed her into
a flower, which still shrinks from Apol
lo (the sun) and hides her modest head
