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.

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.
