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. ,.nM, Advt,
