MACON, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 18, 1908 DAILY, $7M A YEAR. I Resume of Atlanta’s Experi ence Indicates Unsatis factory Conditions ATLANTA. Ga., Oct. 17.—An In- tercstlng controversy has been on for the past two weeks between Mayor W. R. Joyner and the ministers of Atlanta, over the effect of Ole pro hibition law here. In an address be fore the American League of Munici palities, Mayor Joyner declared that the law has not proved as success ful and as beneficent as its enthusi astic friends claimed would be the result. He declared that there has continued to be practically as much drinking, much of wtoloh is of a more jdangerous character; that is encour ages drinking among the young men of the better classes and doe* not prevent it among others. He ad vanced the conclusion that the way has been paved for a successful so lution of the liquor problem by means of package whisky mouses and legal ised beer saloons. Ministers Spurn the "Solution.” Tho mlnistera deny many of tho mayor’s statements of fact, holding that prohibition has not failed, but admitting that the near-beer problem has detracted somewhat from Its suc cessful operation. They call attention to tho decreased number of cases tried before the recorder this year as compared to last, particularly the large decrease In “drunks;” and argue that better conditions have prevailed In substantial business circles, and that there has been much less drink ing. They spurn the mayor’s “ablu tion.” All must admit that In Atlanta the prohibition law v has been and Is be ing given a fair and impartial test. An honest effort has been made by state and city officials here to en force It, and tho effort has been bare of fanaticism. There havo been no spasmodic crusades, but a regular, even and consistent endeavor to cany out the tenets of the statute. It has not been placed In any class by It self, upon which to-center the forces of the law, but has received the same honest attention as other laws. The prohibitionists have been well organ ised here, better probably than In ary other city of the state, and they have not only brought enthusiasm, but In telligent endeavor In their Independent efforts, to aid the officials and make prohibition go. These facts and the peculiar conditions prevailing here before and since prohibition produce a situation that is probably an aver age one for the atate. What effect has prohibition really fore able to exhibit »o clean a bill of moral health. The “necessary evils** used to be kopt in model restraint. But this baa re laxed. Whether or not it is due to prohibition cannot be told, but the two seem to have come together. Parti culars need not be given. No calm verdict on prohibition In Atlanta can bp made until the first shock incident to the violent change Is over, which Is not yet the case. No satisfactory working basis has been reached. The law has been problem atical and Is still so. nnd until tho courts fix a definite standard of en forcement It cannot be given a thor ough test. While present conditions are per haps superior to those co-incident with the open barroom, the experience of the past nine months Is convincing to the impartial observer that cut and dried prohibition will never work with success in the Gate City. COTTON Oil IN TO GATHER IN ATLANTA TOMORROW WILL BE CRUSHERS' DAY AT THE FAIR—OVER 500 EXPECTED. had on Atlanta? Real Effect* In Atlanta, In tho first placo It has not mate rially Injured' business. Real estate has been -worth as muqfh and has .been In as great demand as If there had been no prohibition. Thera have also been as many visltoni to the city, perhaps, business and otherwise. No appreciable effect on the business comtr inlty can be noted, for In that respect Atlanta seema and probably Is the same. It la also true that there has been less, at least public, drunkenness. The police court records prove tihls clear ly. They also show that there has been less disorder. But, however, has there been less drinking? There la no doubt but that for the first fow months of prohibi tion drinking was reduced to Its min imum, but there has been a gradual increase until It Is now doubtful if there is materially less drinking hero than before the law went Into opera tion. The police records show this, too; for month by month the number of arrests made, both for disorder and for drunkenness, has been growing, and at tho past rate of growth will reach the standard of the old barroom days be fore long. The court records show little, If any decrease In real crime, that is of the kind that cofneg under the Jurisdiction of the state court*. How the Traffic Goes On. Well established blind-tigers have been almost unknown, but there has not been but few days since January 1 when a well-informed Atlantan or a shrewd visitor might not buy all the “bottle goods” he desired. There has been no place where one might go In and order a drink over the coun ter. This shows that the officers of the law have been honest In their ef fort to enforce the law. There is and have been places where bottles could be obtained—at about double price, another evidence of official vigilance. And a dozen or more young men have grown In wealth since the first of the year by peddling whlaky from place to i-]:o o on th« ir ii.-rsmi*. Then, for the past three or four . months as many beer saloons have been Ip existence-here than there were saloons of all classes in the old days. Thos# existing now are beer saloons pure and simple. The stuff they sell bears the prefix “near" but for all prac tical purposes it Is as good or better than the average lager sold in legaliz ed barrooms. An old and possibly enlightening clrcumstanco connected with the beer saloons Is the dropping off in ship ments from Chattanooga since they began operation. #Le*s than half the whisky that was shipped in here five months ago Is now coming in, which means that the money Is remaining at home. A close Investigation would In all probability prove Mayor Joyners state ment to the .effect that drinking among the young men of the better classes has been on the Increase. Younger men are drinking and drinking heav ier than before. This is due to the bottle evIL which in part has been overcome by the beer saloons. In many cases the bottle habit was con tracted before beer was on the market and the-habit has been retained. There has possibly been considerable less drinking among tha working class and the negroes, but observation shows it to be increasing rapidly among these classes. Lowers City's Moral Tons, All considered Impartially the worst effect prohibition ha* had -Atlanta is the lowering of the general moral tone of the town. Jf such may be as cribed to the law. Atlanta has always taken pride In the high moral atmosphere of her sur- noted roundings. In fact, the place has been a remarkable exception In this respect. No rapidly growing munici pality of the country hag been hercto- ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 16.— Presi dent W. H. McKenzie of tho Cotton Seed Crushers’ Association of Geor gia, has issued, through Sejh'tary Fielding WallAcc, of Augusta, a call for the members of the association, representing every cotton seed oil mill.

TO FOSTER PENSION BILL AND ONE WHICH GIVES COUNTIES AU THORITY TO LEVY TAVES. ATLANTA, Ga. .Oct. 17.—For the first time since the present constitu tion was adopted two amendments to that document will be submitted tc the people for ratification at u national election on November 3. One of them la an Important one, und from the wa> the wording will appear on the bal- lost may bo considered by some to be more Important than It really is. The foremost of the two proposed amendments Is the one provided by the legislature under the Foster bill, whereby the state Is given authority to levy taxes for the payment of pen slons to practically ail Confederate veterans and their widows. These words will appear on the ballots: “For payment of pensions to ox- Confederato, soldiers and the widows -Confederate soldiers.' “Against payment of pensions to cx- Confederate soldiers and the widows of ox-Confederate soldiers.” The wording would lead one to be- lleyo that the question of straight pen sions was being submitted, and that he who votes against the proposed amendment might be considered ns op posing pensions for any veterans or their widows. This is not the case, ns the amend ment merely extends the pensioning authority of the state legislature. It does not affect present pensions, nor add an ynew ones but gives the gen eral assembly authority to do the lat ter by wholesale. Under the constitution as It Is at present, no pensions may be paid ex cept to Injured, or Indigent Confede rate veterans or their widows. Neither can a pension be paid to the widow of a veteran, If since her veteran- husbands death she. has married a sec ond time. Indigency has been con strued to be akin to pauperism, and the good friends of the older defenders of tho south have longed claimed that to make It a requirement of pensions Is placing an undue indignity on the veterans. Tho Foster amendment, if approved, and It will bo approved—permits tho payment of pensions to old soldiers or their widows, who may not be worth more than $1,500, or havo an annuul Income of more than $300. It also permits the payment of pensions to the widows of veterans, who beeame wid ows by tho reason of any marriago contracted before 1870 nnd to any widow whose husband was killed In the Civil War but who later married a surviving veteran who has since died. Some claim that owing to the ad vanced ago and growing casualties among the class affected by the law that oven If put Into full operation by the general assembly the pension budget will not bo materially Increas ed. Others hold that if tho plan were put into force next year, the Increased pension list brought about would add a million dollars to the present pen sion sum of that amount. The second amendment which Is to bo submitted Increases tho taxing au thority of counties. If approve^, taxes may bo levied for police and sanitary purposes. All tho county police sys tems of tho state aro at present pro vided by subterfuge, the officers be ing paid as road inspectors. IT’S ALL IN THE LIVER. Graham Hood In Now York Globo.

Of course, the facts of the case are that cuch rich foods Impair th« di gestion. but that Is not the only evil ef fect that they exert.
