W. A. Covington, author of the bill In the house, and ono of the fore most lighters for prohibition, said: "The most Important thing to be said Is that there never was a vote taken which more correctly represented the *111 of the people of Georgia. In other *ords, the bill can not be charged up to the prohibitionists of the house and fenate, but to the sovereign people. It emanated from them. "I know all the politicians were per fectly annoyed by the strength of the demand when wo came here. The Georgia Anti-Saloon League, the V om- un'a Christian Temperance Union, the various church organizations are all due Immense credit. Then, too, the *ced sown by Walter B. Hill, Henry Crody and Sam P. Jones, as well as others who are not with us any more, but 'whose works do follow them,' Is now in process of harvesting. Well, the 139 of us who voted for the bill feel that we have lifted a burden from the homes of the poor and removed a menace to the . safety of our Instltu- tlone; and we are becomingly proud of the opportunity to have thus served the God Rules, Says Hon.

Neel. one of the leaders of the prohibition forces In the houso, said: •‘Tuesday was a glorious day In my life. It was the consummation of years of hope and labor. Since I can remom- ber friends and advocates of temper ance have been making war on the le galized liquor traffle. But they have worked without system or harmony, and results were disappointing. •'Yesterday was different. The friends of prohibition worked and voted ns one man. The harmony was delightful. In dividual Interests and preferences were waived for the common good. There was a reason for this. The power and effectiveness of prayer never had a clearer or stronger Illustration. In nearly every church and home In Geor- g,a yesterday, and »«>r wk. befor. special prayer was made for the men who had to vote. Those prayers were answered Tuesday night. God rules, and His guidance should be recognized and His name honored In the glorious result.” Pay All Honor To Young Men Hon. Seaborn Wright, leader of the house prohibitionists, was asked for statement. “Yes, I have something to say,” he said, "and It Is this: The splendid port played by the young men of the house In yesterday's debate. With few ex ceptlons the speeches made for our sldA were made by the young men of the house. They demonstrated not only great ability, but splendid conceptions of civic righteousness. The entrance of these young men Into politics means much to the state. The people of their counties owe It to them and to the state to return them to the house. They have been tried and stood unyielding in their loyalty to duty and tho right.'

G. Hardman, author the prohibition bill In the senate, spoke of tho necessity of tho enforcement of the law. He said: "There Is no legislation that has been enacted In the state of Georgia for great number of years, and perhaps ever. If tho exeoutlvos and judicials as well os the citizens of the state will have It executed, as I feel sure that they will do, that will add so much to the prosperity, happiness and progress of the state of Georgia as the present prohibition bill. Just passed. "Of course, it may bo that there defects In tho bill. There Is no great measure that can be perfected In first enactment There are conditions that will spring up that would be brought to light only by the enactment of the law, and the needs are then made apparent and the further perfec tlon of the law can then be accom plished. For Instance, the school sys. tern of Georgia has been In existence t number of years, yet no one will dare say that it Is perfect, but that it has deficiencies and Imperfections, and might say evils, that time and progress can only remedy. "Take, for Instance, the uniform text book law. We will be constantly ren ovating and perfecting It. Tho same thing applies to the local taxation rural district schools. That law Is not t, and. has Its detects. The sam might be sold of the laws regu latlng the Judicial circuits of the state. They probably need rearranging as the conditions now are not as they were when enacted. The splendid work that Is being done by tho educational sys tem of Georgia Is one of the great things that win add to and promote the prosperity and .... state, and dlclal and educational Interest of the state adds much to the state, and with out which we could make no progress and maintain and command respect and order, and without the executive and Judicial tho present prohibition law would accomplish but little, but with the great executive that wo have at the head of the state today and the Judlcla. ry determined to see that tte laws are y enforced, I believe that pros and happiness awaits Georgia how as never before. Encourage Economy. "In the prohibition measure we have not only a measure that will odd the commercial Interest of the stato Georgia In the way of providing for tho sums of money now put Into drink to degrade and degenerate and produce crime and expense, but a law that will encourage economy, sobriety and the Investment of the thousands of dollars now thrown away In drink to degrade and lessen the capacity and ability ti >roduce wealth, happiness and prosper, ty. All of the funds, or, at least, the great bulk that now goes to the liquor traffic, will be put In substantial lm provements that will add taxable In vestments In the state In the rural districts as well aa the great cities and commercial centers of the state, which will give happiness and solid comfort to the citizens of the state. Not only does this bill pretend to promote the commercial progress of this state, but the greatest of all,- tho Int'e'-est of hu manlty and of mankind In the way of promoting moral character and rellg. ous Influences, without which all gov- ernments and states must fall sooner or later. Suppose In the next two dec ades'tlVt we could reverse conditions as 1 believe we will do with tho sentl ment of the people of the great state of Georgia, and prevent crime, poverty and degeneracy and disease, produced by alcoholism, what on Ideal citizen ship and state Georgia would be. "Desire of My 8oul.” "It Is the burning desire of my soul to see this great reverse In the down ward tendency to degrade the youth and sc" ‘ flmm crimes In our commonwealth. I am so fixed In my belief that principles will be created that will Inevitably bring hap plness, prosperity and progress of i nation, that there Is no exception when applied to this measure. On the other hand, principles, If I may so call them, or laws, that. If carried out, tend to reduce destruction, poverty, pauper sm. Insanity and disease, are as certain In their results as the reverse would be, Then, in the name of God Almighty, how could we advocate measures that tend to destroy the character, the mind, the morality, the happiness and pros- >erlty of our people today and genera- Ions yet unborn, because we are told that the sins are visited to generations unborn? "A Happy State. 1 ‘Then why not stop and consider and let the great state of Georgia unite In one stentorian voice and say. Let the laws that will bring prosperity, happl ness, protection and love one for an other, dominate and be the ruling ele ment In every soul of the state of Georgia? I have no doubt In my own mind If the principles underlying and on which this measure Is based Is car ried out we will have the happiest, most prosperous state In the whole Union. The business world recognizes the truthfulness of this, as they do not want, on the contrary will not have, op eratives or laborers who Indulge In Intoxicants. The secret orders of our great state recognize the great danger of taking alcoholics and'therefore de cline to make them members of the order who Indulge, to say nothing of the churches, which must be the high est Institutions of the land. Then, how earth can anyone advocate the use such a dangerous substance? I want every soul In Georgia to unite In this great movement and see that such a law Is properly carried out” CASTOR IA for Infant* and Children Till Kind You Have Always Bought To Tour Europe.
