rlcel Now, let them meet again. Let
them have another crack.
"You know, the great trouble about
that meeting the other night Is that
they take the members of the legisla
ture for a sot of ahses. My friend, I
myself don't belong to that class of
animals. I may not have the
brains of that assembly, but If I have
not a keener and finer moral perception
of things, God pity me!
"Now. let me read you. If I can. a
sentence from those resolutions that
,they passed. Jt Is Just a sentence,
am not going to attempt to read any
large part of this marvelous where
ases and wherefores. I want to read
you what It says here. Listen here,
my friend, listen here. These princi
pal business men of the city of At
lanta meeting In the Piedmont said
this! Said this to you people! Listen!
'Since prohibition was abolished we
have enjoyed the most satisfactory con
dition that the city has ever known.
Strict regulation under high license
In this city has solved the question. It
Is beyond all question the best way to
deal with this evil.'
"Cause of the Riot.
“Gentlemen, listen to me. They say
that conditions since 1388 In this town
have been well night perfect on the
liquor plan. My friends, listen. The
screams of the women In your own
town ore still ringing In the ears of
the people. Do you hear me, men?
The blood of your cltlxenshtp still red
dens your streets. More than that, as
straight as an arrow from Its bow. It
comes from your damnable liquor
shops given you by your mayor and
council of this great city, and 'condi
tions,' say these eminent gentlemen, is
practically perfect under the .liquor
regulations that you have here now.'
“My friends, let me talk to you a
minute. Do you know that the propor
tion of crime to the population is
higher In Atlanta than any city In the
United States. Frightful, horrible as
it may seem to you, the statistics
show this to be true. I am not giving
you my word for It. I am giving you
the statistics upon this question.
“Do you know In the year preceding
the Hot here what the number of ar
rests was? I cannot recall the exact
number now, but It went to the thous
ands and thousands and thousands of
criminal case*, which made your great
city here the leading city in crime in
this great republic. And yet, my
brother, think of It! These eminent
and distinguished gentlemen who met
In the Piedmont, solemnly declare to
the members of the legislature that
under their magnificent liquor system
conditions were practically perfect.
Needed the Militia.
"Permit me to say another thing,
want to controvert It. My brother,
(these gentlemen say this: The people
of this . city are entirely capable
dealing with this question.’ Permit me
to say this: If the people of this great
city ever become aroused, as they
ought to be, thoy are capable In their
manhood of doing It., But your city
council and their gang of hirelings
have prevented this so absolutely, that
you are Incapable of even maintaining
law and order In this city, so that the
governor of Georgia Is compelled to
order tho state militia out to protect
tho cltlxens of your town. Listen to
me again. This beautiful city la now
calling upon the/ state of Georgia to
pay 110,000 out of the contingent fund
for sending these brave country boys
up here to take the place of the police
force and establish law and order In
Atlanta, and In the light of that these
distinguished gentlemen say to the
Georgia legislature that this city and
her people are entirely capable, of tak
ing care of tills question. No, my
bucks, you ain't. And hear me, men
and women, the people of Georgia are
going to take care of them.
"Dr. Broughton, you have great
manufacturing establishments down
here, the biggest In the state, Judging
by your finished product. No man can
monaure its full value to your griat
city and to the state. You are making
men and women In the only perfect
Image. Your president and bourd of
directors and every day laborer seems
to know hls business, i like your mili
tary training, doctor. I like the great
central truth underlying this church
that the church of God is an army of
defense, and that wherever the black
flag of hell Is lifted, your church Is
ready with flags and banners to
charge, and In the name of the Great
Master, who cam* to bring not peace,
hut a »word, who drove out the money
changers with the stinging lash of the
whip.

eign state of Georgia has no right to
Interfere In the domestic affairs of th*

the reason why the little counties of
Georgia are going to take hold of this
matter, and the perfect right that they
have. Don't be frightened by tho cry
of local option. For fifteen years the
liquor traffic ha* been entrenched be
hind local option. Glorious has been
the work of these local option laws, but
let me drive this Into your minds to
night. Local option practically finished
Its work ten years ago. Wlrnt has been
Its operation? These little counties
ono by one have risen up and in their
manhood driven out the liquor traffic,
which has pulled up and gone Into the
great cities. Cobb has emptied this
traffic Into Atlanta; Clayton has emp
tied Into Atlanta, and bo with all the
little counties for a radius of fifty
miles have on* after th* other gone dry,
and their liquor dealers have come to
Atlanta. It is the same with Macon In
that section, and Savannah In her sec
tion. and today the great cities of this
state under th» action of y»e local op
tion laws has a monopoly of tha liquor
business.

brought Into the state for fifty miles
around Atlanta. Rapid transit has de
veloped until you have a vast number
of rapid transit passenger trains going
out at almost every hour of the day.
What has been the effect? Every ex
press office, every depot In every little
village has become a bar-room connec
tion to your great liquor establishments
of Atlanta.
"Listen to me, men and women, while
I appeal to your sense of Justice for
these little counties. These people
voted It out. They had the right to do
It. They had the right to expect that
their laws would be enforced. This lo
cal option Would have been enforced
had It not been for the liquor men
backed by the great business Interest
of the great cities of Georgia. You
hear me. And for a quarter of a cen
tury have these little counties voted
dry to protect their boys and to save
their women and children. These great
cities for a quarter of a century have
been pouring her liquor Into these dry
counties, that under'Jhe law had be
come dry and they had a right to the
protection ot the law.
"Piedmont Afigregatlon.”
“Did this Piedmont aggregation In
all the long years that these barrooms
of the city of Atlanta have been dump
ing their vile liquor right down upon
the firesides of those country women
to debauch and damn their boys—In
this twenty-five years did this
sweet scented Piedmont aggregation
ever lift Its voice In defense of those
helpless country women? God bless
them! No, my brethren, they did not;
but now that the dry counties in their
sovereign power say, 'You have de
bauched our sons long enough and we
are going to stop It forever and for
ever,' they come, my brethren, with the
plea of Justice and fair treatment to
the little dry counties of Georgia. What
Is that song?
" Too lats, too late, will be the cry.'
"Thank God, In this case It Is too
late! The dry counties have sent up
a class of men to this legislature, In
my Judgment, that no power can drive
and no money can buy,
"They are talking about the finances
of the city. And poor Clark came out
In The Constitution this morning—and
do you know what Is the truth'.’ When
The Journal showed Itself and Clark
did not s%y anything for three days,
I thought, Is Clark's backbone stiffen
ing? Is he going to fight? But no.
Clark came under, and I want to show
you how beautifully he came. If The
Constitution doesn't quit following The
Journal, something Is going to hap
pen. You know It reminds me of that
schoolboy that licked another and then
made him tote hls coat. Don’t mis
understand me. I am not excusing
Dick at all. I would not want to be
either the owner or the toter of the
coat.
Country the Backbone.
"But listen to me. In all these long
years you have not heard a word from
those business men about the operation
of the dry counties. Now, let us see
In the way of taxes what these coun
ties have borne quietly for twenty-five
years—for twenty-five years, gentle
men, and the Piedmont aggregation
squealed at the float Intimation of a lit.
tie Increase. They packed these tittle
counties down and chunked the life out
of them, and they have been doing It
for twenty-five years, and the first time
they give the Piedmont aggregation a
little slap on the Jaw, they squeal like
a set of pigs. How has It struck those
little fellows financially? They did not
care anything about these brave coun
try fellows that make the wealth of
the world. My God! How my heart
has always gone out to the country
women and country man. They who
are the backbone of the manhood of
this country; who make Its wealth, and
produce It all. They are the burden
bearers of the world. Look at It, my
friends. Year after year your Atlanta
liquor by the hundreds and thousands
and tens of thousands of gallons has
been shipped Into these little dry coun
ties, and the hard-earned money of
those farmer boys has been sent back
as taxes of your great city. They have
never kicked at It. They have borne it
silently like men, and the millions and
millions that Atlanta and the other,
great cities have wrung out of these
little counties has come without a
word. They said, 'We are men. We
are bigger In our love for our wives
nnd children than for a dollar. Let At
lanta have it,' and they never com
plained, never murmured. But It got
to where they could not stnnd It, and
then they put It on your Piedmont ag
gregation. And, my friends, they are
going to put It onto them hard, and
don't you forget it. Law mel How
hard It Is to squeese a nlckle out of
some of those old money-loving fel
lows! It reminds me of my boy Max
tryln* the cow with hi* mother's lemon
squeeser at home.
Th* Moral Standpoint.
"My friend*, I am not going to talk
to you of what th* big cltlaa with tholr
liquor traffic have done from a moral
standpoint. I am not going to do that.
My feeble tongue cannot utter It If I
would. They have taken their liquor
year after year and gone Into those
sweet little country homes and won the
boy* from their mothers' knees nnd
then sent them back drunkards, and
they have stood It with their heroic si
lence. My! How It has wrecked these
country districts, nnd never a word. I
cannot talk about that. No human
hand can portray the moral wreck and
ruin of the liquor trafflo.
"But there Is one thing that I want
to talk about, and It Is this, my broth
er. There hus come another question
In Georgia. Your people started It her*
In Atlanta. Or rather the liquor ele
ment with their vile liquor started It
here. I do not know how tho official
life of thl* city thinks of Its while
women In Atlanta, but I tall you, out
side of the official life of this great city,
whlto Anglo-Saxon men are going to
defend their women. Do you hear It?
Patience ceased to be a virtue In your
own town. From the wood* to the
north of you rang the scream of . a
woman. From the woods to the south
of you rang another, and around It
want In a circle, and this city was
aroused and death followed. Do you
think you have quenched that? No,
you have not quenched It. But I will
tell you what It did. It has put terror
Into the home of every white man In
the country districts of this state. How
they do turn to Atlanta for protection!
When you shut down your bar-rooms,
those women prayed that they would
never be opened again, and those brave
men said, "Is It possible that the great
city of Atlanta will ever open those
den* of vice agaln7" and the official
life of this city, dead to the screams
of their women, opened every one of
them practically upon Decatur street.
You talk to me about fair treatment!
That sweet-scented Piedmont aggre
gation appealing for fair treatment
to the little counties! I stand here to
defend the country men and the coun
try women around you. All that they
ever asked of you was to take this stuff
away from thetr boys, and out of the
black dlvea with which they ore sur
rounded, and you never did Itl I am
not speaking of the people of Atlanta.
As God It my Judge I believe that If the
power had been held by the men who
look me In the fact tonight, not a drop
ot whisky would be sold here In Atlanta
now.
Safety of Women.
Let me speak plainly. I wot»3r if
one of that Piedmont crowd Is here.-.'
I would like to say to him this: I da,j
not know what street he lives on, hue 1
I presume It Is within police protection.
Hls wife and little babies are safe at
all times. In the morning he goes off
In hls carriage or automobile. He goes
to hls office and there Is no terror In
hls heart as to what may happen In
hls home. You hear me. men! Ho:
comes back In the evening with no
feeling of terror, and hls wife and littla !
children at homo have the shadow of
no great terror resting upon them.
"Let us reverse that picture. Take
that man's property away from him.
Put him with hls wife and little chil
dren out Into the agricultural regions
of Cobb or Clayton county. Let the
necessities of life drive him away from •
the home to hard work In the field.
There is not a moment when hls wife
and children are away from him that
the shadow of a great fear does not
rest upon him—and sometimes he
comes back to find the dead body of
hls child, and hls ruined wife before
him. Ar.d do you know that your At
lanta liquor has done It? Does that
Piedmont aggregation know that? Let
tne say to them that these white coun
try men are not going to tolerate It any
longer. They are poor In this world’s
goods, but they are white, and they
love their wives and children. .
The Anti-Jug Laws.
The Journal 1s demanding antt-Jug
laws. We are going to give them anti
jug laws. They need not trouble
about that, but we are going to leave ■
the personnel of the liquor trafflo be- '
hind. I believe In the antt-Jug law,
and had something to do with putting
it In the Macon platform. I sorter
whispered prohibition but some did
not think wise of It, but when I men
tioned antl-Jug laws they fell right In.
But I went on all the same for prohibi
tion and we are going to get It. What
about a Jug traffic In those dry coun
ties? Listen to me, men. What about
It? Would It protect the little counties?
I want to say to you, would It protect
the whlto people of the surrounding
counties from Bluthenthan & Blckart’s
Atlanta liquor? It would take a cor
don of 6,000 people around your coun
ty. nnd then If they were not rock-
ribbed prohibition people the liquor
would steal through. It Is not protec
tion. These people know the only pro
tection Is to say to the liquor trafflo
In Atlanta; 'You have done your work
for a quarter of n century Now, go.'
"I want to read you Just a little ex
tract from the 'me, too'a' editorial of
The Constitution this morning. It
looks to me that Clark has got Ihto
the condition that when Dick pops hls
whip he begins to dance. What an op
portunity he had! It makes me sick.
When Dick wrote that red hot editorial
against prohibition, If Clarke had
shook himself and some out for tho
women and children of Georgia, what
would have happened! You know, It
was a dangerous proposition for our
friend, Dick. But there was one paper
In Georgia that thought' more of the
women and children of the South than
It did of tho Atlanta dollar. Let me
say this: I read Clark's editorial this)
morning carefully, and the moat strik- |
lng thing to me In It Is this. Listen at I
the wall. See It all the way down.
City council. Piedmont aggregation,!
Dick and then Clark. It all comes ’
down In the end to the Atlanta dollar.
Boodle, gentlemen, boodle. Pure, slm-1
pie boodle. My, my, my! How, when;
they try to get off on the moral line
and do say'anythlng that Is worthy of
consideration, how they swing back to I
the Atlanta dollar.
"Must Atlanta Lose?”
"But for Clark's wall. ‘Must Atlan
ta (Poor Atlanta. You-know my heart
goea out to this afflicted old city.)
Must Atlanta* (I can almost hear
Clark say Is.) ‘Must Atlanta loss a
quarter of a million .dollars?' It goes
back to that every time. Here, my
brother, is the serious part of It.
'Must Atlanta lose a quarter of a mil
lion dollars' only to satisfy sentiment
whose Ideal Is beyond reach? I* It
possible that It Is beyond yench? Is
It possible that sobriety and cleanness 1
and decency In your great city Is an
Ideal beyond reach? God help this
brave old town! Is It possible that tho
dirty, vile, stinking dives of Decatur
street are to stay ther* forever, and! -
the dream of good men nnd women
that some day they will go away la be- )
yond reach? Is It a dream and an Ideal!
which will never be realized? My!
brother, I* It a dream that your women
will scream and scream again on the
outskirts ot your great city, as theso
brutes, Inspired by Atlanta lto»r,,
holding them In their vile and rotten!
embrace, will fade away? Is thl* an
Ideal and a dream that will never
come? Great God! Is that true? Hear)
me. men of Atlanta, Is that the truth?'
Is It a dream that- some of us hovo
dreamed out and will never reallzo;
that those dear old country women |
around their little firesides at homo'
must have, this Atlanta liquor win 1
their boys away, and the shadow of a
great terror rest forever upon their
humble homes? Do you know what I
think? I have five manly boys at j
home, and If I thought that all of these j
things that I have dreamed ol alt of-
my life were Ideals that were never to!
bo realized, I would pray to my God to
Strike them dead and let me go with
them. I would not want to live In a
town where such dreams and Ideals
were never to be realised.
My brother, let me tell you this.
Dream after drejtm that men have
thought were mere visions and would :
never be realised, thank God, has coma i
to full fruition, and this thing that
and fighting for for years and have
dreamed out le coming true, and It Ir
coming quick, thank God.”
"JIM CROW" LAW IS
AGAIN REAFFIRMED
Witthlnjtton. July 8.—A decision reaffirm
ing the right of the accommodation* for

„ comluotor of the railroad
while en route from. Chattanooga, TenO.,

The case la the first test under the new
Commissioner L*ne aaya in hla opinion:
"While the reason*blenesa of regulation*
to segregate# white and colored ppsingers

If a railroad provides certain faeilltj. *
nnd accommodations for first-class passeu-
gera of the white, race, it Is comman-le-i by
the law that like nccomuiiMlntlou* shall he

that the carriers mnst serve equally well
all passengers, whether white or colored,
