FRIENDS OF DUMB OUT IN FORCE S. P. C. SOCIETY REORGANIZED 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. List of the Members.

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.
