IA CARD TO THE PEOPLE
The most regrettable thing that
j to-da.v confronts the sober
thought of Atlanta and Georgia
is the intemperate agitation of
the temperance question by sin
cere but misguided moralists.
The intermeddling with the
best regulation of beer and liquor
traffic that organized society has
ever known, is not only prejudi
cial to good citizenship, but it is
an offense against the business
welfare that threatens alike pri
vate interest and the institutions
of State.
This position will be met by
the extreme agitator with the
declaration that tax money and
trade funds which come directly
and indirectly through the opera
tion of locker clubs and like in
stitutions of pleasurable inter
course is neither desired nor de
sirable. Such a view is initially
and finally wrong. It lias not
even a crutch on which 1o rest the
weakened leg of debate.
Shut up the locker clubs and
pleasure resorts of Atlanta and
Georgia and you will take from
the asylums and public schools of
the State a valued and needed
source of income. Press down
the lid of puritanical reform, and
you will send the hip-pocket blind
tiger through the shopping dis
triets of every city, and the back
alleys of every home. Nail tight
ly the doors of all these places
that now operate under the eyes
of the law, amenable to our
courts, and you will open subter
ranean passages from one of the
States to the other, through
which will flow the vilest concoc
tions that, ever parched a throat
or poisoned a stomach.
Aside from the great crime of
turning neighbor against neigh
bor in unchristian war of opin
ion, the threatened fight on
locker clubs is endangering the
business life of our city and
State. There is not a bank, a
mercantile establishment or a
factory that will not be affected
by any radical change in the ex
isting condition. And it may he
said in truth there is not an in
stitution of charity which does
not rely in a measure rn this
much condemned habit of drink
which men now indulge through
licensed sale.
tine write l forcefully said, in
one of our papers a few days
ago: “A large share of every
dollar the saloon keeper takes jn
goes to help pay the cost of run
ning our prisons, police forces,
courts, hospitals, asylums and
almshouses, all of which are sup
ported by revenues from the
liquor business ’’
The last general compilation of
governmental expenditures is
contained in the census report of
1902. This sltows that 1he en
tire annual expenses of the State
and local-governments for chari
ties, insane and penal institutions
were then a trifle more than
$100,000,000. The total receipts
from liquor licenses were $55,-
000,000, and the Federal internal
and customs revenue from
liquors $200,000,Q00 additional.
Thus the revenues from the
liquor business would pay all the
expenses of our penal and public
charitable institutions and leave
$155,000,000 for other uses. The
entire expenditures of States and
localities for courts, military and
police, for the vear 1902 were not
quite $100,000,000. Adding all
this to the expenses already giv
en, makes a total of $200,000,000.
The revenue from the liquor traf
fic would pay this, too, and leave
a balance of $50,000,000 for other
purposes.
* In this day of demagogic judi
cial display it seems that a coura
geous press should wield vigor
ous pens in behalf of that sanity
which makes for stable conserva
tism in government. The intent
of the law and the welfare of our
institutions suggest no interfer
ence with the reasonably con
ducted locker club, and common
justice cries out, agaiusi the re
cent raiding of down-town clubs,
whereas the authorities seem to
he blinded as to the existence of
such up-town clubs as the Capi'al
City and the Athletic. The J idge
who will allow the law to be so
unrighteously enforced against
the poor man. himself is a breed
er of that classism that means
anarchy. FAiRPLAY
