An odd discrimination in law be
tween the theft of a mule and wagon
and the theft of an automobile was
brought to light by Recorder Broyles
Tuesday in Police Court In the case
of Henry Matthews, a negro, charged
with stealing a mule and wagon. He
was bound over on a $1,000 bond.
“You should have stolen an auto
mobile.'' said the Recorder. “The theft
of an $8,000 limousine is a misdemea
nor and punishable by a sentence of
not over twelve months while the
stealing of a $40 mule and wagon is
a felony and makes you liable to a

law as much by selling liquor to
members as by selling to non-mem
bers.
Dr. Du Bose asserted that one of
the greatest evils of the locker clubs
was that young women were in the
practice of visiting the clubs with
escorts and becoming shamefully in
toxicated.
Here is his formal statement, in
part:
"Atlanta enjoyed this year some
thing of a ‘sane’ Christmas. Law
breaking and crime were curtailed
one-half. The record is encouraging.
This record is encouraging. The
conclusion is inevitable that, had
ALL the leker clubs f Atlanta
been closed on Christmas Day. along
with their allies, the near-beer sa
loons, the record would have been
another 50 per cent better. Out of
experience comes judgment. Atlanta
does not need locker clubs (as she
does not need near-beer saloons).
They are the fly in her social oint
ment, and this l propose to make
plain.
Testimony Damning.
"The locker clubs have persistently
flouted the law of the sovereign State
of Georgia, Testimony as damning
as it is disfnal may be had first hand.
A business man recently observed
two young women as they emerged
fmm a locker club in a skyscraper
and entered the elevator. So heavy
were the fumes of liquor on their
breath that doubt was impossible. A
young woman, late a servitress in a
locker club, is now' reported in a
house of rescue. Another place is
alleged to be constantly frequented
by yoirtig women. Who are they?
They are daughters and sisters—and
there’s tHe pity of it! These are but
a few of the dozens of stories of like
tenor. Shame burn to cinder the
cheeks of men when such things can
be!
"The law’ of Georgia forbids the
sale of intoxicating liquors, absolute
ly. Judge Russell, whom nobody will
accuse of being a prohibitionist, de
clared in a recent high court decision
that IT IS AS UNLAWFUL FOR A
LOOKER ULUB TO SELL To ITS
MEMBERS AS IT IS TO SELL TO
NON-MEMBERS. Yet evorv locker
club in Atlanta is selling whisky, and
there are those who would have these
conditions perpetuated.
Likened to Plague.
“There is no mistaking the voice
of the street. And to what end? For
the city’s good—for its commercial
well being and for its name abroad."
is the bold and factitious answer.
Locker clubs has wrought irrepar
able moral and commercial hurt to
several cities of Georgia, Every
where they have been a moral infec
tion and a commercial reproach. Good
for the city! If a shower of plague
I germs or a simoon of Ohagres fever
| could be counted good, then or.e might
be justified in appraising as good the
festering, polluting, damning work of
j the average Georgia locker club.
"The demand made by the Chris
tian public of this i'uv is distinct:
Let the City Council provide for the
automatic and irrevocable cancella
tion of tHo licenses of every near-
beer saloon and every locker club
whose managers or responsible agents
are convicted of violating the law.
Evidence of such violation is plen
