DR. OAIMBREDL’S SPEECH.
Gentlemen. Members of the General
Assembly of Georgia, Ladles and Gen-
tlemen; When I read a few dayB ago
bn a train 'that I. In company with
■my dttlngulshed fellow citizen, Mr.
H1U. had been invited to address the
Georgia legls'Ji'ture In advocacy of a
dispensary bill. I fell to thinking what
I 'had ever done, or what company I
Wad ever been caught In. that could
-lead anybody to believe tout I favored
or could foe Induced to favor o gen
eral dispensory bill, after -the pattern
of one now foremost In the nubile mind
when the word 'dispensary is pronounc
ed. As it was impossible for me to con
vict myself of any special sin, lead
ing tn that direction, 1 supposed 1
all igrew out of a pardonable igno
rance on the part of some well mean
ing persons, and to I hurried on to my
appointment In a remote part of the
state, to And soon after a copy of this
bill forwarded to me for considera
tion. It is a curious and interesting
study how sudh a bill as this should
ever get Into the papers as a dispen
sary bill. J am not Bure that I can
enlighten you on that paint, but my
mind tends strongly toward some words
of holy writ as expiratory. “An ene
my 'hath done this.” For one. having
been much of my life a newspaper man
and even now not -more than half re
formed, I do not think the public ought
to expect papers to Know everything.
But they ought certainly know some
things. They ought to know the right
name for this MCI. That rare genius
who gave to our English tongue Its
chief glory hpd wisest expansion, raised
the ciestloo: “What’s In a name?”
Would not a rose by another name
smell as nweet? No. not If that name
happened to 'be one sssoc'iated with
rank odors, as gourd 'blossom, for In
stance. The old way of naming people
was after some striking peculiarity,
ns Edward Tonrto*'”'*'. or after seme
noects.t work ,# John the Baptist.
This bill must have a name nnd It
ought to be an honest name. Now here
In the presence of this great assem
bly, I will name the child the
ANTI-BARROOM BILL.
That la wibat it Is and let the name
be spelt large, that all the people tmv
know the truth. I have never stopped
In the midst of a speech to make a
request of news piper mm—the clev
erest people In the world, including
•mvself with them—I never made a re
quest of them that was not granted'.
I now reauest that Anti-Barroom BUI
be printed large In the papers. That
Is the right name for it.
After the very lucid discussion of the
measure by Mr. Hill I am sure It can
not bo necessary for me to enter Into
any parttcuars. Your attention Is slm-
plv caked to the fact that the first
section of the bill makes a perpetual
end to barrooms In the rftate of Geor
gia. One sweep of the ferclful hand
of this sovereign state blots out for
ever these institutions, which have de
bauched her citizens, desolated ner
homes, defied, day and night, her laws,
filled her Jails and penitentiary with
criminals and Imperiled all her Insti
tutions. If this bill becomes a law,
after el* months, not one barroom
will remain In Georgia to work mis-
ohlef among ns. It is not truly an
antl-ealonn bill? I warrant you saloon
men know where this measure strikes.
You will hear from them In due time.
Whether there shall ever be a vendor
appointed In Georgia will depend on
local sentiment ana necessities, real
or Imaginary. This bill appoints no
vendor: but ft makes -an everlasting
end to barrooms In righteousness. Af
ter blotting out barrooms it provides
that any county, by a method which
has the sanction of good wage may
choose between prohibition and civil
vendor: But In. any omd an cases the
barroom goes, wot to return.
Now. gentlemen, there Is here made
a eharp. diear and momentous Issue
and it muet be met. The naked Issue
Is, shall Georgia have barren—*
aboil she not? When you oome to vote
under the eyee of your fellow citizens
end under She eve of him who ehsll
Judge us an. you vote for barrooms
or against barrooms. There can be
no Churning. Tou do not necesearlly
vote for total prohibition, for If the
neopte of any county wnnt whisky
for necessary uses, -they oan. In their
local capa«#ty, provide to get It, but
you vote against barrooms.
I am here, gentlemen, by your lnvl-|
fatten, nnd I count It the greatest honor
of my life—I- am here to show cause
mhv this bill should become a taw.
It Is my duty to be perfectly candid
with all who hear me this night. And
certainly mere abuse of a class of our
fellow citizens would III become this
great end solemn occasion. That sa
loon men are. as a rule, not the best
citizen*. must be admitted In all fair
ness. But. sirs, tfcev are men: and
in -their ranks have been my friends
whom I have seen rink to ruin and over
whose graves I have wept. Let me say
that In all hccesty. It muat be admit
ted that this liquor business Is a per-
pCexiov problem. The man who does
not -think so has not studied It. There
Is no easv way to settle It, andj-oalv.
like every other evil. It may "never
Wave a. final settlement till the great
dav. I do not believe Ibis bill or any
bl'.l will put a complete end to She
evtis of liquor drinking, lust ns no law
will end stealing or murd»r. The prac
tical law maker never legislates with
any expectatlooi that laws wil cure hu
man deorivity. Laws, at most, re
press, discourage crime and give to
the -lsr.--abiding the vantage ground.
In the struggles whlen go oa from
generation to generation.
Tuts bill unaer voneidoiUUon was
peutl3 Mi IlNlUgfbS knife above the
necks of all the saloons lu Georgia. If
on should loC It drop their heads go
off. It is death to a business, now and
for a long time carried on under the
sanction of taw, nay, more, in partner
ship with the state. It will Inconvenl-
eace some norm and destroy same prop
erty. It wilt cut off the revenues of
some municipalities and of the state,
tco. But upon A fair consideration
ought It to be done? That is the ques
tion, and I shall urge an affirmative
a f shut, not by invective, but fur the
following coukldcratiou set oral In plain
language.
1. The barrooms greatly augment the
amount of liquor drunk. fUc that very
purpose do they exltn. It Is, indeed,
foolish to oiy an at -whoa -men engaged
In an enormous trade, with tile largest
profits known to any business have
tirade their plans, used their utmost
tact, employed all possiblo Induce
ments, that all these count for nothing.
Unless saloons, with what goes with
them, Increase the consumption of
kquor, liquor men from distillers
down are the biggest fools on earth.
TDey may be something else objec
tionable, but they are oat fools. That
beverage drinkiug Is an evH ith* whole
world knows and couifesses. To> deny
tt Is the Impudence of a ooiossal com
bine of wickedness. The bright lights,
the warm rooms, the dazzling fixings,
the artful mixers the oonvivlallty. the
sociability, the music, the free lunches
and, as we have Just had it In Macon,
bhe 'barmaids—all those ace powerful
seductions to firail humanity. That is
vicious leglslaitlcn which encourages
vice, and the saloon. Is the most pow
erful stimulater of the drinking vice.
2. The At loon never pays back in
license money a tithe of Its own waste
and expense to toe public. Tho police
service, the court expenses, the pau
per bills, eta, far overbalance nil reve
nues from the saloon. There never
was such an idiotic way of collecting
public revenues as this.
3. The saloon la radically and tnernd-
icably bad. It cannot be reformed ex
cept temporarily. Some years ugo,
when helping to deliver my then state
from tho curse of the penitentiary
leading system,. I watohod with deep
interest the struggle Ithen going on In
this state. That gallant soMler, Gen.
John B. Gordon, was Governor, in a
sentence he ■'struck oft the situation.
Speaking of the leasing system aod not
of the men engaged In It, ho said: "The
Ineradicable trouble is it puts the cu
pidity of one set of men against the
humanity of another eek of men." He
uttered a/ great truth, which goes to
'the heart of that monster evil. If ever
any system deserved to die under tho
condemnation of an enlightened Chris
tian sentiment, the leasing system is
that one. And for the same reason,
augmented to the lhnt-r. of human con
ception, the saloon system of dealing
■with too liquor traffic ought to die. It
puts the cupidity of one set of men
agoilnsb humanity, not criminal human
ity simply, but all humanity—tho man
with inherited or cultivated appftatie,
the roclal rpam, the daredevil, uusus-
peattog boy. and nil these Involved
with the community at large, with
mothers, wives, children, etc. With
this In-bred evil In the saloon system.
It cannot be anything but bid, it nev
er will be. Men In every business seek
to Increase their gains, and in the sa
loon business humanity Is the prico of
success.
For this rraron, gentlemen, every
e !* or t to raise the federal average of
character of saloooJ.tts hue been a grim
failure. The law In Mississippi with all
solemnity, requires that saloonlsts shall
be men.-of good moral churanteh, duly
so certified, and whxtt iraa the result?
There are bad and worse, hut, you
know, taken as a class. If the whole
land were searched out a more grace
less set could not be found. No mnn
ran live above his business, rnnd t/lxls
is a business than which none Is worse.
You cannot elevate It any more than
you can sanctify sin. If this has not
been demonstrated nothing has ever
been, and when demonstrations nre
reached -theories mu«i: yield. Look
where you will, and you see this dem
onstration. It Is useless to vilify tho
saToonlsts. Tho state puts the tempta
tion before them to this greht evil, nnd
they are Just what the state makes
4. Now, again, the saloon ought to go
because It Is lawless. It Is lawless In
cplrtt aod in deed. It Is a favorite the
ory of some to reeulat* soloons. It Is
reccnmlzeri everywhere tbit there is
need of regulation. How do wo get on
with It? Everywhere "he *a)<w, »»,■>«.»*
its anarchistic character. It evades law.
breaks tow, teaches lawlessness end
practices tt. It despises the Sibbath
snd constantly brenlos the Sunday
ltlws. It sells to drunkards constantly
and to minors. It is an enemy to law,
and we all know It.
6.The saloon Is the chief corrupter
of our politics, municipal, state nnd
national. It work* for Itself and buys
Its way to noltHml control wherever It
ran. It Is now the chief neHl to civil
government In America. There Is hard
ly n cMv of-m,ooo or more inhsMta'T*
In America that (s trot r..,w< h v *h*
ro.Vion. and It rules for Us own hose
rr.de. Every Irt'ormed mnn knows this.
It la onen to the world. The short cut
to mrurjclpal reform and good rovern-
ment In Georgia 1s to pass tints bill, nnd
wl'hrirnw from these erwoih, *r r-A
and men nnd good govemmeolt tho
shield of the state’s protection.
6. Saloons are school* of vine. In
the»e school* boys and men and wo
men. too, as we have It now. le.im to
bMspheme, to lie. to debaurih them
selves to swear false!V tee-shield Ule
au-tbor o* their ruin ire— r q —.
of anarchy are Insidiously Inculcated.
Here gambling and nameless crimes
are encouraged, and here murdsr Is
Inhaled with the very atmosphere tit
the place, (Sirs, this Is n very Isms
description of a very fearful state of
things, and the public - know It. You
know that, ksken on on average, sa
loons are schools of vice. The supreme
court of the United Stale* has de
clared -that no government can bir-
ter noray public morals, for bo protect
public morals U the end of govern
ment. Whalt could be olein** then
duty to make nn end of these schools
of vlee?
7. Ratoons ore dangerous to tho com
munity -where they exL-f. Gentlemen,
your statute books nre burdened with
laws Intended to protect the public
against tbe evil* of the saloon. But
they count fer nothing. Those resorts
are the storm centers of society. Here
murder and every form of evil are
hntohed. Our Jails are crowded with
orlmlnal* carried there by the saloons.
Nn one can be Ignorant of this. Here
then, Is an Institution m*tamiv breed-
inr trouble. 'What mitft't to b* bi*
with rt? If tt were a. doe we vreuld rev
cut oft it* tall—close ud to the ears,
and most is what you. In all good con
science. ought t# do with the saloons
of Georgia: pita thl* bill and decap-
ttate them.
8. I must not be tedious, but. gentle
men. you ought to pass Uhls bill now.
for reasons of the vodchtlest character.
Heir -me: Ttie lluoor business ha# come
to bn tho mightiest combine «m the
continent. It Is also the moat out-
ragem-i monopoly. The spirit ot free
dom nbhoro wallop!lea and yet our
present laws have made 'the greatest
monopoly. One hundred men or so in
Aarinta coocrol this vast business.
These are combined here and have
their connections over the country.
This Is She richest and vilest and most
dangerous monopoly In America. There
la a strong war now going on against
combines. We are all enlisted in the
war, are we notT Gentlemen, the knife
Is In your hand; pass this bill and you
will cut the throat of the vilest mo
nopoly that Over plotted against hu
manity. Why udt do It?
But there ore other reasons, very
urgent, why this measure should Piss
now. We are entering upon «• n<, . w
era. There Is a great chance now to
bring new people to Georgia. We
want more people, provided they ore
good people. Let me call youp atten
tion to the foot that the liquor busi
ness has fallen -nearly entirely Into the
hands of foreigners. It you doubt this
read the names over fhe noons a.«
you waC-k the streets. You won spell
them, hut It would give you the lock
jaw to pronounce -them. Well, -what
of this? Why, sirs. It means that
our American cities axe being graded
down to the level of slum* of the
old world. These same gentlemen ot
unpronounoeble names run our city
politics now with the help of the ne
groes. If I know my heart I have
no prejudtoes against foreigners or ne
groes. I was raised with the latter
and -have some good friends among the
former. But whto I have no projudlca
t do ‘hove * few -notions which one can
have without charge. One Is. that the
only reason why anybody can do well
by leaving the old world for America
Is thia't this oountry Is not like the
slufos of Europe. I am unwilling it
should ever be. If foreigners oome
here to degrade our cities rhey cop
fjin-nlv «H.11l'/5 not An IL. ..

ta-inly should not have the support of

our laws Should be such as to make
Georgia a disagreeable state for men
of law. eelllsh, grovelling 1-nstlcts.
Gqnd mws will attract good people
and bad laws bad people. Pass Ibis
bill and the lager beer and wh-lsky

want money money more thru tho good

■this bill and you end foretgn-nefro

am not Ignorant of the plena whloh

'And' you will he told thud every city

A RARE CASE.
A Young Man "Who I* Minus Twc»
Aims arid a Leg.
There 1* a young, man now In SU
Louis who possesses great Interest fa
the medlc&l fraternity for the reason:
tont -he -has disabilities which are aa
rare that only threo or four cnees era
recorded In toe medical works. Hl»
name 1» L. L. Lovelace, and he is
minus two arms and one .<*•
One hot July ■afternoon In 18S7 Mr.,
Lovelace crawled in
a sidetracked railroad car at Frl*co«
Mo., to read a newspaper. He tod
Idea there was tlhe elltfhtest chanca
of the car belmc disturbed, but a oosv*
structlon «trailn backed In. and -whew
the unfortunate man we* picked up
an enartne -and six cars had pass**®
over -him. He wfla so magled up %'nat
the Frlsoo authorities sent film to this
olty for treatment. *T*he cane lha.p*
pened to fall to Dr. A. V. h. Brokaw.
When iranirrene eet Jn, Dr. Brokawi
was compelled to relieve Mr. Lovelac*
of h!s tnvo arms and one left, the op
eration 'being absolutely necessary in
order to save ‘his patient*! life.
By chance Mr. Brokaw ran across
Mr. Lovelace Monday. Lovelace Us
dependent on Clrarlty and 1* Krea*tiy 4ro
need of money to buy blmseCf artificial
limbs. Without them he Is absolutely!
(helpless. He (has to be fed. like on in«
farvt. He Is n. bright and Intelligent
young min and bears hU hard lot
philosophically. He looks healthy and!
«aya he feel* so.
"I know hla Is a very worthy case,'*
•aid Dr. Brokaw. "If Ldvel-ace weref
provided with artificial Wmbs hecouldf
do certain kinds of work and be ot
some u*e to himself. As tt Is now he Is
as heOpless a* a babe, and the knowl*
edge of hlB helpless condition Is enough!
to arouse the nympathles of any hu
man being. I can say, without tho
slightest hesitation, that 1t Is one oq
the ow^dest casej I have ever han*
dled."~^>t. Louis Po*t-Dlopatcfh.
