To the Editor of The Georgian: Every -time 1 read The Georgian during these days of stormy contest for civic righteousness. I repeat what Mark Twain said when, for the first time, he gazed on the Immeasurable ocean. Twain looked out, took off his hat. and exclaimed: “She la a suc cess*." The Georgian from the first headline of the first column of the first page to the last line of the last column of the last page Is "a succesa." The Geor- Flatt Is a clean, non-partisan, impartial : dally newspaper. Thla Is a day of com-! petition, but The Georgian stands alone. . It atanda alone, fearlessly and splen-l dldly—like nm. Achillea—In Its ef- I fort, to pass the best bill ever Intro- dth ed In the Georgia legislature. I M’w, who are about to succeed, salute you. “May you live long ana prosper. „ Sincerely, . R. L. BOLTON', Supply Pastor, Thomsen Baptist ehr—*- Tb church, Thomson, Oa. HOW FAR WILL THE WAVE OF REFORM REACH? It Is hut the repetition of an axiom to say that all great movements afTectlng the welfare of the human race progress In waves and cycles. Reforms serious In purpose and momentous In results ofttimes have their origin In almost hopeless and inslgnlflcant Incident and Incentive. The theories of the dreamers of.today become the fixed principles of the practical men and women of tomorrow. The advancement of the world In all things which make the upward trend of humanity Is made upon the cycles of reform which arouse and startle the thoughtless by the apparent suddenness of the moral awak ening. wldch Is Its primary manifestation. Men wonder whence these things come. They may woll question, whence are they tending? Such a cycle of moral regeneration seems to have found recent ex pression, so potent and profound, that the ear of the nation Is alert to Its meaning and Import. The question of temperance discussed In Its various phases Is far from a novel Issue. In many states. In different forms. laws have been enacted looking to the restriction. If not the abolishment of the liquor traffic. Some of these statutes have proven helpful; others Inadequate and almost futile. Still men and women concerned for the salvation of the victims of strong drink have contin ued to contend for the reclamation of their weaker fellowmen. With surprising suddenness, the action of both houses of the Geor gia legislature has arrested the attention of the entire country, and awakened an Interest Intense and universal. Almost imperceptibly the wave of temperance reform had been gathering strength for years throughout Georgia; It had found Its subtle way Into many of the strongholds of Its opponents; It sometimes re ceded like the tide, but also like the tldo It seemed only to gather force for Its Inevitable goal, and at last, upon the rocks of opposition It broke with majestic power, carrying everything before It In Its magnificent triumph. Now that matters are readjusting themselves with tlje genius of American adaptability, men are taking note of the effect of this Geor gia tidal wave upon the country at large. Many significant Incidents, like the proverbial straw, Indicate the present condition of the public mind, concerning the future of prohibi tion as It may affect other states. Two press dispatches In Thursday's Journals are worthy of more than passing comment. One comes from Chicago and reports tho utterances of Charles R. Jones, chairman of the national prohibition committee, regarding the present status of the temperance Issue. Mr. Jones Is quoted ns saying; "Every state In the Union will, at a comparatively early date, be free from legalized liquor traffic. "Winning of the battle for prohibition In Georgia Is the opening gun of the final assault on the liquor traffic In all America," said Mr. Jones. "It Is the direct result ot the persistent and Intelligent educational campaign throughout tho nation." \ The other Incident relates to the report of an Interview sent out from Nashville, In which Lieutenant Governor Henry B. Gray, of Ala bama, a man of keen observation, who keeps In close touch with the sentiment of the peopte of hla state. Is quoted as saying that "In two years Alabama will go for prohibition.” These are coincident expres- alons of seriously minded men In sections of the country romoto from each other and divergent upon many questions of public policy. As no man can sound the depths of the ocean, or measure the volume of Its waters, so no man can yet say how far the tidal wave of last Tuesday shall reach In Its marvelous Influence and In Ita stupendous 'power. GEORGIA’S STUDENT OF THE PHILIPPINE PROBLEM. It may not be generally known, but It Is undoubtedly true, that a Georgia lawyer has attained and continues to hold a position among . the foremost, If not the foremost, thinkers upon tho Philippine problem of our government. The Georgian some months ago had occasion to call attention to the most admirable article of Col. James H. Blount, of Macon, contributed to .The North American Review. This thoughtful discussion founded u|>on several years of study In the Philippines as judge advocate of Its courts and upon later reflection at home, enlisted more of general attention and of general approval than anything which hns yet been written or spoken upon this Important ques tion. Mr. Carnegie and IBs friends were so much Impressed with It that 50,000 copies were printed and distributed under the direction of the groat philanthropist throughout the country. Public men In nnd out of congress, Including the president of the United States, gave very serious attention and very high commendation to the views and suggestions of our Georgia student of this question. Mr. Henry Watterson has just written at great length In The Courier-Journal an elaborate and approv ing review of Mr. Blount's view of the Philippine question. And In a recent letter to The New York Times Judge Blount Writes an other and most Intelligent article explaining just how he thinks his plan may be workod out to the best advantage. Ills Idea Is to create at once In the Island of Luzon two or three autonomous territories, to hold the samo relation to the United States as New Mexico does now. He suggests Luzon, because he says the poople there are better equipped for self-government than tlioso In other parts of the archipelago. He firmly l«dlevcs that such action on this country’s part, with an Immediate disclaimer of any Intention to exercise perma nent sovereignty and a declaration that other arena are to be organized Into similar territories when they are deemod fit for tho change, would be "a beacon light of promise” to nil tho people of tho Islnnds. He says the first territorial government organized would aervo as a model for other* to learn from, and continues; The whole scheme also contemplates that these various territories are to be Informed that whenever all'are tit the whole are to be organized Into a United 8tates of the Philip pines and turned loose as a free and Independent state, but not until then Is the government of the archipelago to he turned over to its people, according to this submitted plan. Furthermore, beforo their Independence they should bo duly protected from the great powers of the world by a neutrali zation treaty, guaranteeing their territorial Integrity. Judgo Blount goes on to say that It is foolish to talk about the dan ger of nnarchy In the event the Filipinos were given local self-government right away, nnd absolute Independence within a few years. "It Is Idle to say that they would kilt more of each other than we have killed of them,” he pointedly observes. As we said the other day. Judge Blount’s recommendations ought to be weighed very seriously by our statesmen. There nro two propositions In this Philippine problem that are Belf-evldent to mewt thinkers. One Is that the sooner we get out of the Philippines the better It will bo tor us front both financial and political standpoints. The other Is that we must not leave them dishonorably—we must not scuttle. FRATERNAL ORDERS ARE GOOD SPENDERS. It ts difficult to estimate the amount of money which Is let loose from year to year by the great fraternal and secret organizations of the country. Among the forces which distribute their revenues and put Into circu lation much more the accumulations of Individuals. It Is doubtful If any arc more effective than the fraternal orders and tho secret societies. Take for Instance the recent vacation trip of the Elks In Philadelphia. The mathematical minds of tho brotherhood are wrestling with the ques tion as to what that big week's convention cost the Elks. It Is Impossi ble to be absolutely accurate, but a summary of tho most obvious ex penses based upon the minimum, and the moat conservative estimates ob tainable makes the following exhibit of the cost to the order of Elks on ther vacation trip to Philadelphia; Railroad fares g 250,004 Hotel Mils, meals en route and sleeping car fares 1,000,000 Incidental expenses In Philadelphia and on side trips 500,000 Sacrifice In salaries and business fioo'odo Total cost of trip, excluding badges, costumes, etc.$2,250,000 This, the reader will understand, cornea from the Individual contri butions of the Elks throughout the. country. And so much money having been In circulation Is simply taken up In one lump and put tn circula tion again. There may not be any general distribution of profit from such expenditures, but there Is a world of happiness and good cheer, an£ after all the money gets back Into the avenues of trhde. Meanwhile, however, we would take the liberty here and now to sug gest to the Elks and other great orders that tb* heated term of the sum mer Is not the time for a great convention of Individuals. The sunstrokes fh the City of Brotherly Love and tho mortality ta bles that followed the steaming heat made more Intense by the 200.00) members of tills fraternal order. Is a thunder note of warning against hold- log great conventions at to late and heated a season of the siuntner. THE GEORGIAN IS VOTED BEST PAPER IN GEORGIA My Dear Mr. Seely; I want to be one of the women of Georgia to thank you for the great work you did through The Georgian and News In the fight for prohibi tion. The great victory we have wor. is surely partly due to the stand your paper has taken on the side of right. I returned from Catoosa Springs yesterday where I spent a month trying to rest and recuperate, and while there was gratified to hear many words of commendation of The Georgian and News. It Is easily voted the best paper In Georgia. May God ever bless you for your fear less stand against tire whisky question .and I am sure He will. With best wishes, I am, Youri sincerely, MRS. SAM JONES. Cartsrsville, Ga., July 20, 1007. ARMY=NAVY ORDERS —AND— MOVEMENTS OF VESSELS DAIL1 NEWSPAPER BEA'IS MA GAZINE IN PRODUCING ADVERTISING RESULTS (Editorial In The Baltimore 8un.) There f* a nismifauturer III New England Whose business In the Inst ten year* hns amount ••<! to $79,454,400, eat Inis ted upon the wholesale prion of the products of uls fac tories. This manufacturer In William L. Douglas, who, In Addition to the success which he has achieved ns a captsln of In dustry. lisa also served ft term ns governor of .MiiKNuohusettfl. and Is recognized a* u mnn of force and ability, with a thorough knowledge of economic question*. In the ISMt.ten years this manufnctnrer snys he has spent $2,000,000 In advertising. He hnu given the subject the practical con sideration which might he expected from a mnn of his excellent bunluc** nunllflctitlons. He has tried vnrlotiN forms of advertising* giving n fair trial to the mediums through which the mnn who has something to Hell brings hla products to the Attention of the public. In 1«$3 he begAti to Advertise iu newspapers. “The results," be states. • were so food that later I Also advertised In tnagaalnes. The returns did not wurrnnt me In continuing. I withdrew my adver tisement from tuitfutlues. but Inter on tried the experiment again Once more I took out my Advertisements, aud since then I have used only newspapers to bring my goods before the public eye." This In the testimony of a putmifncturrr who spends $200,000 *n year In Advertising, aud Judges the value of the Advertising medium by the simple test of results. lie 1ms found that newspapers produce nhunduut results. Mag azine advertising did not swell the volume of hi* sales to sijrli an extent that It was rirolltftble nnd. therefore, good business pol icy to sallclt business through this me dium. The reasons which this successful manufacturer gives for preferring the dAlly newspaper to the monthly inn gasifies are practical nnd eonelntdvo. He says: "A newspaper ndvorflwuicut strikes the eye tho moment the nheet Is opened. The same advertisement would He hidden among tba pages of a magazine .until the reader found Ills way to It, If he ewer did. •‘Practically every mnn reads n newspa per. Even.’ limn does not read magazines. Take n village, for instance, where the one locut newspaper hns perhaps rentiers. If I puf an iKivertlseuient In that paper, 200 people are going to see It. No one tungn- sine, nor, for that matter, all the maga zines combined, will circulate 2M copies in that same town. The reasoning Is tery simple. \ "Another excellent reason for the supe riority of newspaper over magazine adver tising rests In the fact that In those same local pnpers the render aee* tha "ad" every day of his IlfA, while ho sees It. at t»c§t, only once n month In a magazine." It would be difficult to explain the philos ophy ot advertising more lucidly and con- vinclngly than In the language of this clear headed nnd practical New England manu facturer. As he Is absolutely disinterested, his words carry great weight. Ills expe rience Is probably that of every large ad vertiser. The supremacy of tho dally news paper ns nn advertising medium cjin no! be challenged successfully. In the very na ture of the case, as this New England man ufacturer shows. It Is the best medium, be cause It has nn luflueiire in Its own commu nity and a hold apoir Its readers which no magazine published elsewhere and appear ing at Intervals of thirty days can possibly acquire. The dally newspaper In a record not only of happenings In all parts of the world, but It gives special attention to Its owu field—to' the events In the city In which It la published. It voices tho senti ment of tho community In which It Is an Influence. It spreads before Its readers every 24 hours a complete record of the life of that community. It Is rend heenuse It Ik n necessity. Intelligent tnen nnd women can not do without It. When, In addition, It posseiyieg influence aud high standing, those qualities give spcclul value to Its ad vertisements. For this reason It la the most desirable of advertising mediums. The mag azine Is In n sense a necessity. It Is a lux ury. The advertising columns of a news paper of thigh character are Immeasurably superior for purposes of publicity to nny other form of advertising. And In these days, when newspaper advertisement* ara considered In u certain sense a part of tho news, when they are rend more widely than ever before, the merchant who pre- selits the "news" .of Ids business every day In the advertising columns of a first- class newspaper has nn Immense advantage over the magazine advertiser. The newspaper reader wants • dally ac count of the world’s happenings.. He also wants to know every day what the mer chant nnd manufacturer are offering to Sell to the nubile. The "news" In the nd vnrtlslng columns of a great newspaper re. fleets the commercial nud Industrial life of immunity. Such now* Is rend eagerly by the class which the merchant and tho manufacturer desire to ranch. It Is rend iverv day, nnd the public Is guided by It In nnklng purchases. The magazine, nn the contrary with its advertisement* reaching the nubile nt thirty-day intcrml* nnd cir culating among a comparatively sinnlt class in any community, cun not produce the re sults which the dally newspaper produces. It has as ti rule no local Interest or weight. Its advertisements raft not influence buyer ns do the advertisements published In i newspaper whoso readers tuive long con sulted its columns fur trie announcements of business men. The superiority of the the monthly tnags- dally newspaper over I that ™ . ... ploys (he dally newspaper ns the ln**t me alum for nutting himself In touch with the best and largest class ef purchasers. 00000000000000000000000000 o o 0 ALMOST PERSUADED O O TO MOVE TO GEORGIA. 0 O O O To the Editor of The Georgian: O O I am a tiaveling man and have 0 O covered five states.

To the Editor of The Georgian: In Tuesday’s Issue of The Georgian there appeared an article under the caption. "Old DeKnlb Was Pioneer In Prohibition Movement; Asked for the Law In 1882." If this be true, ull honor to the good county of DeKalb. But If I am not mistaken. McDuffie county Is entitled to this distinction, having asked for the enactment of a pro- hlbttlon law in 1879 or 1880. I think that Hon. Henry C. Roney represented McDuffie county In the legislature at that time, and secured the passage of the act for his county. I am not posi tive about this. The peopte of Georgia have cause for rejoicing over the victory Just won. It will shape for good the destinies of generations yet unborn, and help to brighten and bless the Jives of men and women In the ages to come. To the 139 "faithful” who so valiant.

COULDN’T DO WITHOUT IT To the Editor of The Georgian: I have been rending your valuable paper since It was first published. My' time expired on July 25. I was reading so many different papers that I thought I could get along without it, and would not renew my sub scription. But during the few days that X have been without 1t, X have missed It so much nnd have been so lost without It, that I have decided If It becomes necessary, to deny myself of some other comforts and en joyments of life, in order to pay for The Georgian. I think more of It than AH the other papers combined. Your paper is great, intellectually and patriotically, but above all, I value It for the noble and manly fight which It has made Against the great demon, alcohol, with which our land and our people have so long been cursed. Thank God, %ve are stand ing today In the dawn of better times. All honor to our noble repre sentatives who have stood shoulder to shoulder In 4hlt» great fight which has been waged for God, for country and for home. J. V. SMITH. Mineral Bluff, Ga.
