A CARD TO THE PEOPLE
The most regrettable thing that
to-day 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 1hat organized society has
ever known, isiiot only prejudi
cial to good citizenship, hut it is
an offense against the business
welfare that threatens alike pri
vate interest and the institutions
of Statm
This position will be met l>y
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 has not
even a crutch on which to 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 *
tricts of every city, and the back
alleys of every home. Nail tight
ly the doors of all these places
that now operate under trie 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 hot 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 be
said in truth there is not an in
stitution of charity which docs
not rely in a measure on this
much condemned habit of drink
which men now indulge through
licensed sale.
One writer forcefully said, in
one of our papers a few days
ago: “A large share of every
dollar the saloon keeper takes in
goes to help pay the cost of run
ning our prisons, police forces,
courts, hospitals, asylums and
almshousis, 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 shows that the 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 $200,000,000 additional.
Thus the revenues from the
liquor business would pay all the
expenses of our jicnal 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 year 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 trafl,
fie 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 ejub, and common
justice cries out. against the re
cent raiding of down-town clubs,
whereas the authorities seem to
be blinded as to the existence of
such up-town clubs as the Capital
City and the Athletic. The ,J id go
who will allow the law to be so
unrighteously enforced agan.st
the poor man, himself is a breed
er of that elassism that means
anarchy. F AIRPLAY.
