Eiseman Bros., Inc. 11-13-15-17 Whitehall “Gifts for Men from 50c to $100.00” i Ji When the Pendulum Swings—] What Then? Watch the awing of the pendu- lum. Ye reformers who are never sat. isfled with a condition that makes for well enough. The present regulation of the whisky and beer traffic through a tax act which was passed as a compromise salve to a sentiment that had been held up by sheer legislative force, will either stand without change, or Georgia will be enthralled In the bitterest cam- paign that has ever divided her people. Those who are agitating more restrictive prohibitory measures do not seem to be aware of the great wrong that is being threatened to ^he peace of the State, the sta bility of our* institutions and the salvage of property and personal: rights. The open bar has been closed The jug traffle has been stopped. Interstate commerce has been in voked to protect State restrictions. And yet the professional agitator is not satisfied. First traveling over the country j in forensic bitterness. Next or ganizing committee work to keep tome well-salaried laborer worthy of his hire. Then using the forum of good will to abuse judges and even Governors of the State for failure to place the community of the cavalier under the martial law of puritanical insistence, these fo- menters of strife are in never-end ing war, with ambitious tongues that seem to know’ nothing but in temperate speech and to consider that there is no harm in severe and uncharitable denunciation of opposing view. And to think! Wide and free circulation is given to every inter view and to every public utterance of the prohibition school-teacher and suffragist by the so-called un trammeled press of Atlanta, whereas the business thought of communities that maintain these same papers is denied expression except under the unjust trade mark, “Advt.” This is nothing short of a crime against common justice and that liberty which the press invokes for its own protection when out raged sentiment assails the “sa- cied rights.” All this tends to cower the offi cial, make timid the merchant, ter rorize the average citizen, who are the sufferers from a campaign of intimidation that is even con trolling the bench. This brings up the question that there Is scarcely a judge in Geor gia who has not directly or indi rectly given sanction to the opera tion of the whisky law under our system of taxation. These accept invitations to ban quets and public dinners where wine, whisky and beer are dis pensed, if they do not actually be long to clubs where alcoholics arej kept and served. Not only Is this true, but nearly all men in official place give such recognition to the present safe and sound regulation ofsthe traffic, in cluding business men and agitat ing moralists, scarcely any of whom will decline a ticket to a wine dinner or barbecue given to representative delegations that come to our city on missions of public Improvement. This being the case, it seems most singular that our papers will refuse to take editorial cognizance of a discussion that threatens so much evil to public peace and business welfare. It isn’t a question of temper ance. There Is no argument as to the evil in whisky, tobacco or foodstuffs intemperately used. No use in quoting rulers and scien tists. The question is academic It is a simple matter of control— 'hat control which will best pro tect society against the blight and the crime of turning Atlanta and Georgia over to the rabies of blind tigerism through vile concoctions. And think of the swing of the pendulum the w hile. Continue the agitation and Georgia will return to the open barroom, the jug train and like attendances. Do the Judges, the Ministry, the Press want to invite this return? The great Bob Toombs once said: "Law is common sense." It follows as a logical conclusion that nothing is lawfully just that is not literally true. That is why the intent of all criminal law gives the benefit of reasonable construc tion to the defense. It is an elementary fact that intelligent defining would make anything connected with licensed sale impossible under the blind- tiger statute. Blind means some thing that is hidden, concealed and tiger w r as affixed by that frenzy of mind that associates a mad beast with all traffic in liq uor. There is nothing concealed in the licensed sale of whisky and beer, and it follows that none of the places operating under the existing regulation can be jud - daily designated blind tigers. Courts that may have so held are in conflict with the meaning of a plain English w r ord as laid down by every lexicographer who ever compiled a dictionary. “Law is common sense” and al* law should be construed by the common-sense standard of reason ing. The pendulum of protest - swinging. Let it be controlled telligently, courageously and right eously—or chaos and error will usurp the citadel of reason and truth. COMMON SENSE (Advt. I
