MISS COSBNS, WHO BEGAN THE
MOVEMENT, MADE PRESIDENT.
urgf Membership Already Secured,
but Ladles Will Not Be Satisited
Vntil the Thousand Mark Is
Reached—Another Meeting Will
He Held Next Thursday When By-
Laws Will Be Adopted—List ot
Those Who Have Joined.
The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals was reorganized
yesterday afternoon at an enthusiastic
meeting held in the Catholic Library
Hall.
Already a sufficiently large member
ship has been obtained to insure the
success of the organization, but the
ladies interested in the movement are
determined to secure a thousand mem
bers, and it is believed this can be ac
complished.
Officers were elected and a commit
tee was chosen to draft by-laws and
report at the next meeting of the so
ciety, which is to be held on Thurs
day afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at the
Guards’ Hall. There were a number
of ladies present, all of whom evinced
great interest in the society. Indeed,
the meeting was composed almost en
tirely of ladies.
The Officers Cliosen.
The officers elected were as follows:
President—'Miss Margaret Cosens.
Vice President —Mrs. H. E. Stults.
Secretary and Treasurer—Mr. Simon
Gazan.
Attorney—Mr. David C. Barrow.
A committee composed of Mr. Bar
row and Mr. Gazan was appointed to
prepare by-laws for the society, and
submit them at the next meeting. An
active agent of the society will prob
ably be engaged at the next meeting
also.
It is the intention of those interested
in the society to have an officer, whose
duty it shall be to, at all times, watch
IS GEORGIA LIVING UP TO ITS MOTTO?
The Spirit of Lawlessness Threatens to Blot it
With Shame and Disgrace.
The address by Hon. Samuel B.
Adams in response to the toast "Geor
gia: The State We Live In” at the St.
Andrew’s Society’s annual dinner
Wednesday night has excited con
siderable interest, and is printed be
low:
The state we live in, of which we
are citizens, is our state whether it
is ours by birth or b>f adoption. To
It we owe our affection, our loyalty
and our ungrudging support. But we
are not called upon to be blind to its
Imperfections or to exaggerate its
virtues. If evils exist which threaten
Its well-being, the true friends of
Georgia will recognize these evils
and seek to remove them.
Our boasted motto is “Wisdom,
Justice and Moderation.” A motto is
supposed to be expressive of the
principles which actuate and the ideas
which dominate a people. Is the
Georgia of the present day living
worthy of this splendid motto? Are
we, as a people, really exemplifying
Its principles and giving practical ex
pression to its ideas? I do not speak
of the Georgia of the past, with its
honorable history, of the mighty dead,
who nobly illustrated our state in Its
golden days. But of the Georgia of
the present day, of the Georgia of
Which you and I are a part.
Justice the End of Government.
The limitations of the hour forbid
a discussion of the three words, which
make for us a noble escutcheon. I
must, however, say something of “jus
tice.” A great and mighty word it
Is. There is none greater in the lan
guage. There is none more worthy
of the orator’s glowing eulogium, of
the poet’s majestic verse, of a peo
ple’s profoundest study, of the heart’s
highest and holiest aspiration. Con
cerning it, Hamilton has well said in
the federalist, “Justice is the end of
government. It is the end of civil so
ciety. It ever has been and ever will
be pursued, until it be obtained, or un
til liberty be lost in the pursuit.”
There Is no better proof of individual
and racial superiority than the love
and practice of Justice. There Is no
more potential demonstration of In
feriority than the practice of injustice.
A man who loves Justice necessarily
sustains the Courts of Justice, because
without them, Justice would soon be
come an idle dream and lawlessness
and anarchy would rapidly accomplish
their fearful work. A Just people and
a law-abiding people are convertible
terms. A lawless people are the an
tipodes of a just people. Is not law
lessness abroad In the land? The Unit
ed States has a “bad eminence” among
the nations of the world for lawless
ness. The statistics are appalling.
Georgia has furnished a full contribu
tion to the disgraceful record. No true
Georgian can read the record without
hanging his head in shame.
The Word Form of Lawlessness.
The worst form of lawlessness finds
Its expression in lynch law. Lynching
Is the “crime of crimes.” It "puts the
law to open shame.” It tramples upon
it and holds It up to mockery and de
rision. The lyncher does society and
government Infinitely more harm than
his victim, I care' not how detestable
that victim’s crime. He strikes at the
foundations. He is the twin brother of
the anarehlst and is about the same
sad business. Were lynching in Geor
gia confined to the unspeakable crime
which frenzies by Its pitiless brutality,
we could understand Its exhibition and
while we might not Justify, we might
•xruse. But, alas for us! the statistics
show that In the large majority of
caßes, not less than four out of five, in
some years a larger proportion even
than this, the victim of the lynchers
has not been charged with this crime
and his murder by a cowardly mob has
been utterly without excuse or pallia
tion.
Tlie ( ourls Not to Itlnmr.
1 regret to notice that sometimes In
published communications good citi
zen* would blame the courts for lynch
ing, Its alleged delays and a failure to
convict guilty men. This, In my Judg
ment, has nothing to do with the mat
hr. It it unfortunate that such ex
cuses are made for the mob*. They
are quick to seize upon them and to
Imagine that they are correcting Ihe
eiiuses the administration of the
law and are not to hUrne after all- Let
i* be plain and candid about the mat
<sr. I im speaking to Georgians. In
(he |as( thirty years there have been
U " " ally no lynching* of while (hen.
Fefbeg* flva would cover the entire
out for cases that should be docketed.
This officer will prosecute all violations
of the laws and ordinances protecting
animals.

number. It may be less than five. I
have not the record at hand. It cannot
be said that the courts have given any
excuse for the lynching of the people
who are thus dealt with, of men of col
or. Scores of them during this period
have been the victims of the mob,
many of them, I verily believe, inno
cent victims. And yet courts could
always have been counted on to pun
ish to the full guilty negroes, and with
sufficient speed to satisfy the demands
of any civilized tribunal. They do not
escape on technicalities. When they
are acquitted, it can safely be conclud
ed that they were entitled to the ac
quittal. They may sometimes be the
victims of a miscarriage of justice;
they are not its 'beneficiaries. It is
unsound and unwholesome to offer this
excuse to the mobs. The facts do not
warrant it. The influence of such ex
cuses is pernicious.
I-ivtvlonsneNs Mast Be Checked.
The lawless spirit is distressingly in
evidence. Unless it is checked, our
boasted civilization will soon be as
“sounding brass and tinkling cymbal,”
our real glory will have departed, our
motto will only bring In greater relief
the horrible features of our shame and
disgrace.
Not only do mobs show forth this
lawless spirit, but often men who call
themselves good citizens, but who seem
to lose sight of the fact that no man
can be a good citizen who is not a law
abiding citizen, exhibit a disregard of
•the law. We have, for example, a law
against hunting on the Sabbath day.
And yet men, not a few among citizens
of prominence, will, with gun and dog,
openly and defiantly violate this law
and publish to the world the fact that
they are law-breakers. Aggregations
of gentlemen sometimes set the same
unwholesome example. Some men seem
to think that they are not called upon
to observe a law which they disapprove
and are not bound by the construction
of the constituted tribunals unless they
agree with that construction. The
necessary result of this spirit is that
no man is 'bound to respect any law
which does not coincide with his pri
vate views. If this conduct were to
become universal we would have an
archy.
The Observance of Law.
Against this spirit, I have ever pro
tested and ever will protest. To Its
discouragment and reprobation, I
would summon every true Georgian,
every man who loves his state, to
whom justice Is dear and who hates
every form of Injustice. Such an ap
peal must find a quick response in
every son of Scotland, In whose veins
courses the blood of the strong, the
conservative, the law-abiding, the lib
erty-lovlng Scotchman. Imagine, if
you can, in Scotland, a lawless mob
invading a Scottish Court House, the
temple of Justice, taking from the offi
cers of the law condemned prisoners
and burning them within sight of the
Court House. Every man in this
presence instantly says to this sug
gestion "impossible.” If you were to
read in the public prints that such a
disgrace had happened to Scotland you
would Indignantly denounce the report
as false, as libellous upon the fair
fame of your mother country. And
yet such thing* have occurred In Geor
gia a number of times within the past
few years. When the disgraceful and
damning recital Is read abroad, among
the civilized nations of the world, they
naturally Infer that we are lacking In
the basic principles of civilization. If
after the reading some man tells the
readers that the motto of Georgia Is
"Wisdom, justice and moderation,"
they must suppose that the Informant
Is dealing In Irony.
Denounce (lie Lynehlna Spirit.
Let us do what we can to make such
things as impossible In Georgia as
they are In Scotland. Let us denounce
everywhere the lawless spirit. Let us
see to It that by our speech and our
conduct we enthrone Justice as the
chief thing. Let us love It. Let us
stand up for It. Let us defend It.
Do not excuse the lynching spirit, qr
any form of lawlessness. Our coun
try Is in peril more so than If a for
eign foe were on Its way to our shores
bent upfm our subjugation. We could,
with our Immense resources, defy any
foreign foe. But (his peril Is dead
ly, Is Insidious, It la the chief peril
of republics. Against It every good
citizen must present an uncompromis
ing hostility. No nobler warfare than
I hat (o which I summon you has ever
caused a brave |*eople to draw their
swords. Georgians are brave, are pa
triotic. They must arouse themselves
and lawlessness must res.se and jus
tice be enthroned not only In the Court
House, but In tbs hearts of these Geor
gians.
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. PECEMBF.R 2. 1904.
WILL BOYCOTT
LIQUOR DEALERS
W. C. T. U. PLANS A CRUSADE.
LOCAL MEMBERS APPROVE NA
TIONAL PLEDGE TAKEN.
All Storea Handling Intoxicants lu
Stock Will Be Passed by—Excep
tion Will Be Made in Certain
Cases—Honorary Male Members
May Use Tobacco—Now Manager to
Assist in Campaign—Mrs. Richard
Webb Tulks A boat it.
Members of the Women’s Christian
Temperance Union in Savannah will at
once become more earnest in their boy
cott of stores handling intoxicating
liquors.
Mrs. Richard Webb, president of the
association’s branch in Savannah, is
emphatic In her denunciation of mer
chants who cater to the liquor trade,
and in accordance with the pledge ap
proved in Philadelphia Wednesday by
the National Woman's Temperance
Union, approving the withdrawal of
patronage from any store that sells
intoxicating liquors, will at once call
upon local members to make a like
avowal of warfare upon merchants
who conduct a retail liquor business
as a side line to their regular trade.
For the last twenty years something
of this kind has been practiced by the
branch located in Savannah. That
there has been no small amount of
deviation from the set rule is, however,
admitted. Now that the national or
ganization has stamped its approval
upon the idea by action in convention
the members in this city will be urged
to be more strict in their boycott.
Tobacco Will Be Tolerated.
Honorary male members inay con
tinue to use tobacco, though the use
of the weed is not approved. The mo
tion to prohibit the use of tobacco on
the part of male members was over
whemingly defeated in the national
assembly. It was considered too ad
vanced a step to be taken at this time.
Mrs. Webb was prevented from at
tending the national gathering 'because
of ill-health. She would have voted
for the boycott resolution had she been
a delegate, considering the sale of
liquor should, at all times, be frowned
upon.
Faithful adherence to the pledge Is to
be asked of all members, regular and
honorary. Mrs. Webb knows there are
but few stores that do not handle liquor
in Savannah. Exception is to be made
in all cases where the store will pro
cure liquor on the demand of a cus
tomer, but which does not carry liquor
in stock. This exception will permit
members to patronize a greater num
ber of stores than if they were limited
to stores not handling liquor under any
circumstances. The pledge is consid
ered elastic enough to permit this ex
ception.
How Mrs. Richard Webb Feel*.
Mrs. Webb has herself been strict in
regard to patronizing stores catering
to the liquor element. The kind of
stores hardest to classify she thinks
are the grocery establishments. These
stores, she says, will be ‘the greatest
sufferers from the boycott to be in
stituted.
Most of the grocery stores keep in
stock small lines of liquors. It is a
very prolltable trade and also accom
modates customers. They consider
there is a certain part of their trade
held by this accommodation, and It Is,
therefore, evident these storea will con
tinue to trade in liquor regardless of
any boycott instituted by the W. C.
T. U.
Drug stores, too, will suffer through
the boycott, if as rigidly enforced as
threatened. Proof positive that whis
ky dispensed is for medicine will have
to be furnished by druggists If they
desire a clean bill from the W. C. T.
U. That this will be difficult is ad
mitted. Most druggists will not even
essay the task.
The members of the association are
in hearty co-operation with their pres
ident in the matter. They are quite
willing to buy only from merchants
who look down upon the traffic in in
toxicants. Mr. J. M. Timme, the
new manager, is enthusiastic in the
proposed withdrawal of patronage
from stores which foster the liquor
evil, and will aid materially In draw
ing the lines of boycott taut and
strong.
