Itia probable that Prohibition¬ ists throughout the state were ve¬ ry much surprised at the stand taken by Bishop Nelson at Atlanta on Sunday on the question of pro¬ hibition. And vet the view ho t©ok of it is the sensible one. It is utterly useless to attempt to en¬ force a prohibition law where pub¬ lic sentiment does not sustain it. If the members of t he Logislaf nre who are attempting to pass the Willingham bill would take the trouble to read the history of pro¬ hibition in Kansas, itis prubablo that they would cease their e(forts in behalf of that bill. In that stale, notwithstanding the most stringent police laws—laws which put the appointment of the police ofthe cities in the hands of the Governor, a Prohibitionist—the sale of spiritous liquors went on. And as far as the cities were con¬ cerned there was more liqu-'r sold and more druukennesa than before the enactment of the prohibition law. In some of the cities liquor was sold openly under a system of fines, which amounted to licensing liquor selling. In many of the •mailer towns, where pnplic senti¬ ment was not so pronouced against the law, the "blind tige iv won numerous and the vilest litju m was soJd in them. The members of tho Legislature need not go far to find an example of the inability to enforce a prohi is against it. In Lharloston, there has beon a very free sale of liquor in a surreptitious *ay ever sineo the adopt^iou of the dispensary ays tern. It is probable that tlieiv are i„ ilij, t-ity ,-ho do not care whether the Willinaham S nZ bin l*oo„,« . |„. „ feel satisfied that, public sentiment issuch that they will bo able tosell •bout a, mu oh liquor „ ,l„,v ,1„ now If the bill becomes U law. and tnev will got rid of paying a.license. A prohibitory law would keep the cities of the state in trouble cue ti,'::; not them :r- of , , t a r large M revenue H " im i gn iug them guy ,rrot 0 <*» tion from the evils which fitnv from the -ale of liquor. Irresp insihlo pMSons would selll ion >r ; • llU ,! it evils ’ doth,, ®. f. u hl Hie busmess . ., u surreptitiously carried on would be far greater than they are how. It is said that one leason why the Prohibitionists are ?o mined to h ive a gc tion law is tlmt H the cities in iky prohib com i tier. But would there liquor sold in lUosy - there were a general prohibition law? It is doubtful. In fact, it is safe to say there would not. Liquor would be went from points outside of the state to customers in the state. It is just as easy to ship liquor from Cincinnata to a prohibition county as it is to ship it from Savannah or Atlflbta to a county of that kind. It. may be said that laws would be enacted preventing shipments of liquor into the state. It is easy to make such Jaws, but it is not so easy to enforce them. In fact, it is impossible to enforce them. There is no legal way in winch shipments of liquor from points outside the state to points in th9 state can be prevented. The fact, is, there is only one sure way to fight, the liquor traffic, and that is by educating the people against 1 iqnor drinking. Local option has done more for temperance in Geor¬ gia than any other agency that has bsen tried, and it is the testimony of well-informed people of Massa¬ chusetts that is doing excellent work in that state. If it is adher¬ ed to in this state, it iH only u ques¬ tion of time when all of the coun¬ ties, except those in which the far ger cities nre situated, will be tui der th »«ontro]l of Prohibitionist. —Savannah Morning Nows.
