WHY PROHIBITION IS SUCH A UNIVERSAL SENTIMENT.
While the_great battle for prohibition halts for several days and tho
forces »on either side are anxiously awaiting the action of tho house of
representatives, an opportunity Is given for a calm and unbiased consid
eration of an Interesting phase of tho situation.
Persons conversant wjth the consensus of public opinion, whether
for or against prohibition, nave been Impressed with the very general sen
timent In favor of prohibition, among all classes of society.
No matter what, the personal habits of railway officials may be. It la
a well-recogqlzed fact that no organization of butlncsi men li more
strict In tho enforcement of temperance on the part of employees than
they.
Years ago, engineers, firemen, conductors and other trainmen were
frequently among the hardest and most rcckleaii drinkers, and many fear
ful railway accidents were chargeable to Indulgence In ardent spirits on
the part of this class of employees. Now this condition of affaire has
been radically altered. Sobriety Is an essential requisite with all men
who In anywise are responsible for the lives and property of their fel
low men. The odor of whisky on the breath of a conductor or engineer
would be cause sufficient for Instant and peremptory dismissal by those
la authority.
No bank president would Ignore the smell of strong drink on tho
breath of a subordinate; no bank examiner could afford to overlook the
slightest suggestion of the use of whisky on the part of cashiers, tellers,
etc., who are so largely responsible for the honest management of
banks.
The day Is past when mill owners and superintendents dally with
any form of Inebriety. Too much Is at stake, to risk ths great fortunes
Invested In tho hands of Irresponsible employees and operatives.
And coming Into the sacred precincts of the home life of the state,
the horror'of drunkenness has cast Its baneful shadow across nearly
every threshold. Scarcely a family In Georgia In some of Its connec
tions and ramifications Is without Its fearful lesson of the evil of strong
drink. Young men In tho flower of a magnificent manhood have fallen
victims to a temptation too powerful for them to resist. Men of mature
years have made all the brighter and better things of life subordinate
to their Indulgence In a vIco which has brought upon them and upon
their loved ones poverty and humiliation.
Old men have put asldo hope, comfort, ambition and the claims of
kindred to go tottering with uncertain steps and wrecked bodies, brains
and fortunes down to tbolr eternal sleep. These are not such Isolated
and unusual pictures, the result of a partisan advocacy of prohibition.
They are familiar to nearly every one to- whom the years have brought
experience and observation. Family pride has covered many such an
affliction, as with a pall, beneath which tho bloated horror Is kept from
tho gaxo of men. But It Is there, notwithstanding, and In the silent
watches of the night, this “living death" holds high carnival with the
souls of kindred who make no moan that men etui hear. It cap bo safely
said that there Is scarcely a family throughout the confines of Georgia
which has not had cast across Its home life the blasting blight of Intem
perance.
It may not be, or have been, a father, husband, son or—fearful to
contemplate—a daughter, but It Is or has been a near and dear kinsman
whose career Is wrecked and whose life Is going out In darkness and
despair, while those near and dear are helpless to rescue aud relieve.
The great prohibition fight Is a tremendous struggle for human good
and human salvation. Tho universal Interest aroused Is duo to the uni
versal sorrow that follows In the wake of the unrestricted liquor traf
fic. Whatever makes for the good of the homo and business life of the
stato, shall ultimately triumph. The trend of human endeavor Is for tho
uplift and the salvation of the human race.
THE STATE’S DUTY TO ITS DEAD HEROES.
The laudable effort being made by tho Ladles’ Memorial Association
pt Marietta to secure an appropriation from the stato legislature for the
proper care and keeping of the Confederate cemotery at Marietta, should
receive the enthusiastic support and Indorsement of every member of that
august body. .
The state of Georgia, by Its acceptance of the Confederate cemetery,
as a sacred trust from the Ladles' Memorial Association of Marietta,
become responsible for the protection and the care taking of tho more
than threo thousand grave* of Confederate heroea whose deeds of match
less valor are the thorns of song and story wherever courage and man
hood count with the sons of mon.
For years the noble women forming the memorial association, with
that devotion to principle and loyalty to a sacred cause which have glorl-
fled Southern womanhood, have stood guard with unfaltering faithfulness
over threo thousand wcll-ulgh forgotten graves, and as far as possible
have prevented tho Inevitable enoroaahments of time and decay. But, ai
can be readily understood, this 1* too serious a burden to be Indefinitely
borne by a small body of woman, no matter how patriotic and self-sacri
ficing they may be. The care of tbla and of all other Confederate ceme
teries should he *o arraned and regulated that the changes and muta
tions of succeeding year* would make little or no difference. What It
now accomplished by the faithful and tender ministrations of • devoted
Southern women, should be fulfilled through the authoritative action of
Sduthern lawmakers, whoao privilege and glory It should bo to pro
tect and to keep In beautiful remembrance every reminder of a splendid
past, a past Illuminated with a dauntless heroism uuequaled In all the
annals of time. Georgia with Its great Industrial progress, with lu
wonderful material resources, can certainly afford to set aside the com
paratively small amount necesaary to keep In order the Confederate
cemetery at Marietta.
The commonwealth owes a debt of gratitude to these Confederate he
roes which money cannot pay. For more than forty year* the loving
hands of Georgia women have kept Oowore blooming on tho graves of
these men, who "wearing the gray” fell In defenao of home* and of prln,
ciple. But the passing years are bringing to many of these brave and
noble women the feebleness of ago. Wbllo the shadows are lengthening
they feel that their duty Is not yet doqp, because they have not provid
ed for that heritage of glory which belongs to all the ages yet to come.
Standing, as do many of these splendid Georgia women, who com
pose the Ladles' Memorial Association, with the glow and beauty of tho
sonaet of life around and about them, they ask th* men of Georgia the
small favor of relieving them of a duty which now has become too oner
ous for tbclr feeble hands to perform.
As Is well known, the Confederate soldiers buried In the cemetery at
Marietta wore removed from various battlefields by state enactment
This fact renders obligatory state appropriation for tho proper care and
maintenance of this cemetery. It should not bo expected of a limited or
ganization of women, no matter how loyal and how heroic, to boar the
weight of such an undertaking as the eare and safe keeping of more
than three thousand graves gathered together In a small city by a stato
ordinance. The Importance of the request for financial assistance In the
form of a permanent appropriation, made by the Ladles' Memorial Asso
ciation of Marietta, la accentuated by the proximity of the Confederate
cemotery to that of the National Federal cemetery, where 10,269 Union
soldiers are buried. The graves of these Union soldiers are kept In beau
tiful condition, under tho direction of the national government, while
screes the picturesque little city is that other God's Acre needing the
strong arm of the state to keep In becoming order the graves of three
thousand valiant knlghtg »iho fought their aplendld way to an eternal
fame and to a deathless glory. Shall they receive a hopeless atone at the .
hands of Georgia lawmakers In return for years of tlrett sa devotion and
self-sacrifice? Shall tb* unselfish and patriotic service of more than for
ty year* count's* naught with the son* and grandson* of those match
less heroes who wore the gray? Relieved of a sacred responsibility, shall
not these nyblc Georgia women he permitted to peacefully await the
gentle fading of the sunset of life, knowing their patriotic mission has
been accomplished?
As the mothers, wives and daughters of Southern heroea. they have a
right to lay their cause and the cause of these hero** before the law
makers of Georgia. And surely tho men of Georgia's legislature assem
bled will not turn a deaf ear to Uteir righteous pleading.

THE GEORGIAN OF ATLANTA
A little over a year ago a dally paper was started In Atlanta by F. L.
Seely, publisher, and John Temple Graves, editor. Announcement was
made at the outset that this paper would curry no liquor advertisements.
It has stood by this declaration nnd there are evidences that It has grown
In publla favor with the best people whose support Is always most to be
deBlred.
But recently The Georgian has taken a step which ts destined to carry
it to the front In double quick haste. While other dallies In Atlanta
were doing all they could to defeat prohibition measures pending In the
legislature, which Is now In session. The Georgian came out boldly for pro
hibition and It Is advocating It with all the power that It can command.
This Is bringing to Its support good people from all over the country:
people whose support Is worth tar more than the whisky element to which
many of the largo dallies pander. The people who control the finances of
the country are not whisky dealers and yet strange to say they have long
submitted to this truckling to the liquor people and given their support to
such papers. But we bleleve that this day Is about to end, and that the
time has arrived when that support will be withdrawn.
The Georgian has placed Itself on the side of right. It stands upon
principles which are eternal—principles which never go down, hence It Is
bound to succeed.—Greenwood (8. C.) Journal.

WH1 7HE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
SHOULD BE ABOLISHED
By W. C. DAVIS.
L Because God la opposed to It
2. Because It la the greatest enemy to God
and the greatest curse to humanity.
3. Because It la wrong, and no law can
make It right.
4. Beenaso it produce* crime, pauperism,
widowhood, orphanage, sickness, suffering
and death.
6. Because the traffic Is a crime, aud the
greatest of all crimes.
6. Because It is a crime equal In enort
to sum totsl of all the crime* It produce,.
7. Because, as n crime, it is entitled to
no quarter, and should not be protected by
law, but should he dealt with ss arson,
murder, tliaft, nnd other crimes, and has
no more right to the benefit of s local op-
_ _ _ juas it corrupts the negro, dlsor-
B nixes labor aud aggravates the race prob-
n.
11. Becatmo It Inflames the passions of the
vldoas blacks, and nerves them to the most
13. Because It lays a heavy financial bur
den upon the people, the cost of crime al
ways exceeding tho revenue. It la esti
mated that It costa Georgia $10,000,000 an
nually. Save this expenditure nnd we have
much more for our public schools thau la
now assessed.
14. Becanss It annually takes from the
pockets of the American people over 1,800
millions of dollars for drink, and returns In
revenue only $280,000,000.
16. Becnnse It produces $1 per cent of the
crime, 80 per cent of the pauperism, 66 per
cent of the enset of Insanity, nnd 41 per
cent of the cases of Idiocy nnd feeMe-mlnd-
ednoss In t be Up Red States, nnd forces the
people to par out $16.60 to provide for these
Impoverished ones to every dollar of revenue
derived from the manufacture nnd sale.
16. Because It hurts every legitimate busi
ness and causes the farmer, the turpentine
—*“ the sawmills, the factories, the
and every Itunglnnhle Industry nnd
manufactory to suffer loss on nccouut of In
competent labor. Both employees and em
ployers would make more money, bat for
fncture, and consequently Individual and na
tional wealth.
18. Because It draws from the legitimate
avenues of trade nearly $2,000,000,000 for the
drink bill nnd a much lurger amount to pro
vide for the victims of drink, that would
otherwise lie shared By the various branches
of commerce.
19. Because its v^unie of business cornel
principally from '/Te wage earners and sal
aried men who would spend this money for
dry goods, groceries, crockery, furnfti—
homes, and for other necessaries and c
forts of life.
20. Because It puts laboring men In hovels,
Instead of good hoinen, and leaves their
wives and children half-clad and half-fed,
who would otherwise havo all tbelr needs
supplied.
21. Because' It plunges the Intmrer. the
wage earner, the salaried innn headlong In
debt, wheu thousands and hundreds of thou
sands of them might otherwise have good
homes nnd bank accounts.
22. Because It causes the defective tele
graph nnd railroad service, thereby causing
wrecks nnd rnln, and heavy loss lu life and
property.
23. Hecnuse It rob* Its victim not only of
wealth but health, happiness and heaven;
it not only steals his purse, but takes bis
honor, hla character, his manhood. The
highwayman and midnight assassin may
draw tue last drop of blood and destroy
iMxly In hell.
24. The liquor traffic shnnld bo abolished
because It violates the law of love, and
every Instinct of humanity. “Love worketb
no III to his neighbor; therefore lore is the
(ulOlllns of the law.' 1
36. It should be abolished because it Is
the work of the devil, and closes the gates
of heaven to Its unfortunate victims. r, The
son of God was manifested that he might
destroy the works of the devil.”
The ebareb In of God. nnd the powers
that lie are ordained of God. Through the
church and civil government God will de
stroy the works of the devil.
’’Political or civil law is a rule of action

Gentlemen:
On June 24th, we wrote you asking that, with that date, you discon
tinue our advertisement and render us bill accordingly, our contract having ex
pired some few days previous.
Allow us to say we are today sending you another advertisement to
be inserted in your paper, which is largely 9n account of the noble and fearless
stand you have taken on the prohibition question. We have always received
very satisfactory returns from the-advertisements carried in your paper; in
fact, better than from other sources with perhaps a larger circulation. The
writer is a subscriber, and has always been an ardent admirer of the policies of
your paper, and while we had thought of discontinuing the advertisement for
the time being, as stated above, in appreciation of this fearless, and we may say
unprecedented, stand you have taken on a question that means so much for the
betterment of conditions in our great state, and in a measure to counterbalance
any contracts previous advertisers may wish cancelled on account of your atti
tude toward the prohibition question, we renew our advertisement, and with it
go our sincerest good wishes. Yours very truly,

COMMISSIONER 8TOCKS
CITE8HIS RESOLUTION.
To Tho Editor of Tho Georgian:
In your Issue of the 17th, in reference
t<> waterworks matters, you Infer that
the water board Is somewhat responsi
ble for tho present condition of the
system from tho fact that they did
not sustain the general manager in his
various recommendations as to neces
sary Improvements and additions. You
no doubt misunderstand the situation,
and In justice to the board, request
that you publish the following resolu
tion Introduced by me and unanimous
ly adopted by .the board on February
21st, 1906. This resolution was sent
to the general council on that date:
Respectfully yours,
THOMAS F. STOCKS.
Commissioner From First Ward.
The resolution referred to follows:
Atlanta, Ga, February 21, 1900.
By Commissioner Stocks:
, Whereas, the Hon. Park Woodward,
general manager of the Atlanta water
works, has this day submitted a com
munication. calling attention to the
great needs of the department of
water works, especially with reference
to an additional main, additional Alters,
pumping machinery and a general ex
tension of the system commensurate
with the rapid and Increasing growth
of the city'; and whereas this commu-
tleatlon emphasises the fact that much
of die pipe Is too small, and forces an
unnecessary pressure on the engines,
nnd causes great complaints from
many sections of the city, and that
there Is no remedy for this condition
of affairs except to remove this small
pipe and Install pipe of sufficient site
to carry water Into these sections of
tho city, therefore, be It resolved by
the board of water commissioners as
follows:
(1.) That a copy of this communi
cation bo placed In the hands of tho
committee on water works from gen
eral council, with the request that
same be filed with the general council
of the city.
(2.) That a copy of this resolution
accompany the communication of the
general manager,, and the general
council Is hereby -requested to give
(his communication and these resolu
tions Immediate and careful considera
tion.
(3.) Wo submit to the general coun
cil that these matters have been
brought to their attention by the re
ports from this department at various
times, and that these communications
seem to be treated as a matter of form,
rather than voicing an absolute need.
We suggest that general council either
employ the expert reocmirended In the
communication of the general man
ager. or Itself make the necessary In
quiries If these reports are tree. If
they are tree, the extension can not
longer be delayed, nnd the burden Is
now before the general council to- pro
vide tho means therefor.
(4.) That the member* of Hits board
bring the matter to the attention ot
the council personally, offering to ex
plain these resolutions, or to furnish
any other facts when required. Fur
ther, the public Is Invited to Investi
gate the truthfulness of these facts;
and If they find them correct, to Join
