ficing appointed to lead the discus-
,j t m of the paper upon the last sub
ject mentioned, and, as I will, perhaps,
be away from the city at the time of
ihc meeting, and as my argument upon
ubject would be largely the pre
sentation of data collected and com
piled, lather than original,production,
■e thought It not out of place to
devote this space at this time to that
matter.
About two and a half years ago Rev.
gain Jones, tho most pronounced, un
compromising and conscientiously con
sistent lighter of the sale of alcoholic
drinks of the country, said, In a.lettef
to tho press:
■AVlth all due respect to wise and
•limps good men who differ on how
handle and hamper and control the
pjnr business, I have studied the
question, looked at the facts and seen
the working of the various methods,
until 1 have come deliberately to the
conclusion that the only prohibition
that will prohibit will be found In the
elevation of manhood, and the re-form-
atlon of character, so that all men
1! see that to drink It la A sin against
ul. aifd a crime against the common
itlicrhood of man.”
oiiiuieiillng upon those utterances,
hr Altruist, editorially, had this to
sac:
All up and down this broad land
gain Jones lias gone for the past quar-
a century and inore, crying
loud anil sparing not, against the
traffic. He has seen victory
bed upon tho banner of tils cause
uany a sanguinary Held; has sel-
gone down In defeat, and hns
•r struck Ills colors In the face of
Hip enemy; and, wo know he never
Then for such a man, In the
Interest of such a causs, to publish
utterances to tho world means
same' grand army of. which he Is, and
has been so long, a conspicuous and
gallant figure, among Its great lead
ers.”
But Mr. Jones was not first to pro
mulgate tills theory. Medical science
has, long ago, demonstrated that alco'
hot Is a poison, dangerous to the hw
man system. Physicians anil scientific
men of renown declare that It has no
place In 'medicine. And Just now, In
England, the sentiment Is growing
stronger dally against Its uso In any
form. Sir Victor Horsley, Dr. Kelly-
nack and other wise and scientific phy
sicians are the leading spirits 111 fos
tering this sentiment. ,
The Journal of tho American Medical
Association, some time ago, after dis
cussing the merits clainisd for the
drug, and the dangers attending its use,
h»s this to say:
"If It Is dangerous to the system, Is
followed by reaction and tends to ra
cial and individual degeneration, alt
these things ought to be considered
before we think of Its advantages."
Medical assoclatlpns, sections and
societies nil over the country are now
giving the subject of "Alcohol and
Its Effects Upon the Human System"
more thought than over before. Their
journals carry a great deal of matter
upon the findings ■ and conclusions of
doctors In every Issue. And these are
mostly against Us use, and In favor of
other remedial agents more accurate,
more reliable and less harmful.
The trouble Is, the laity does not
read tnedlcnl journals, and these are
mainly the only sources of Information
upon the subject, that touches upon
the educational feature. Then, too, we
aro biased. We arc not ready to give
up the drug. "It’s a mighty good
medicine," we honrd our grandfathers
say, years ago, and. In the light of a
Tearful experience of he havoc wrought,
the evil engendered In many forms,
and with the truth constantly brought
out, clearer and more forceful all the
time, that the evil so tar outweighs
the good (If there be any good) that It
has no place In medicine, yet we stick
to what the old patriarch, In his delu
slon, said: "It's a mighty good medl
cine."
The American people are regarded
as a sober nation. We have a gqod
name abroad. The people of Canada
are more active and alert against utro
hoi than those of this nation. Inebrie
tV Is the theme of much, study there,
Its treatment Is scientific, -asylums and
retreats are maintained and reports of
progress from our Northern neighbors
are encouraging.
It has not been many years since
the suggestion of an Inebriate asylum
in Georgia would have been laughed
out of countenance. It Is not so now.
Really, a majority of our leading
thinkers, business men and taw-makers
are In favor of a large appropriation
for Its establishment. But for the
agitation of certain philanthropies, that
some how seemed to hove been re
garded as holdlhg prior Claim, the state
would now have been well on the way
In providing this crying need.
Xo greater work could engage the
thought of this society than that of se
curing the neqessary legislation for the
establishment of a place of refuge, and
for treatment where the afflicted of
this recognized fearful malady—In
ebriety—may find relief. Gourgla has,
Upon the statutes, a child labor law.
Every member of this society knows
the weight of tho Influence the socletv
brought to bear to secure its passage lit
Its present shape. It should encourage
the organization to greater activity In
the interest of wholesome, soclbloglcal
legislation. Ahd, again I Insist, that no
more Important work demands atten
tion than the rational, scientific care
of the whisky Inebriate.
Men may differ In their views upon
prohibition; about dispensary systems;
about high license, and restricted sale.
All of these plans may have their ad
herents and differences exist. But,
upon the study of alcohol and Its rela
tion to science, all are agreed. And It
Is this fact, coupled with the further
fact that sentiment against (Is use Is
growing just In proportion to tho study
given the subject, that justlfles the very
strong hope, If not the claim, that the
educative method Is yet to prove the
mortal enemy that Is to dethrone King
Alcohol.

Editor Georgian.
Dear Sir: A few days ago I was urging the claims of The
Georgian to the consideration of a gentleman who has charge of
the advertising for a firm in the city, I claimed that if the papers
being read on the street cars, late in the evening, when people are
going home were counted, The Georgian would be found in the
lead. The gentleman was inclined to question the proposition,
and finally we bet two theater tickets on the result of a count. He
selected the line on which I travel, the new Marietta car line, as
those cars hold the most people. We took the car leaving town
at 5:30 p. m. The result was: Georgians, 11; , 3; 0.
He acknowledged himself beaten, but of course I could not
take the tickets as it was really a sure thing for me, for I had
been noticing it for some time. Still I was willing to take any
car line in tho city-. The new Marietta line was his choice against
my protest.
He agreed to my informing you of the fact provided I did
not mention his name, his reason being that ‘‘the boss will say I
ought to have found that out long ago.” I believe if you would
invite the advertising men to count the papers as they ride home
at night it would open their eyes. Also call their attention to the
class of people who buy The Georgian, and last, but not least, let
them remember that the man they see with The Georgian is tak
ing it home for his family to read. It is not going to the office
to be chucked into tho waste paper basket as soon as glanced
over.
Hoping you will have long continued success, I remaiu

To tho Editor of The Georgian:
nugratulate The Georgian on the
position it takes touching the beer

to establish on Piedmont avenue. It Is
always refreshing to aee_ a great city

questions, and condemn the liquor ovfff
The Georgian Is a greut and good daily
and by. Its refusal to publish liquor ad
vertisements and its courageous stand
for civic righteousness, It commends
Itself to all right-thinking Georgians
everywhere.
Of course Mrs. Dixon is a fine lady
and cultured, and though It may be

In the very' nature of things ft beer gar

With all my respect for womanhood,
ami all the chivalrous feeling which I
entertain for the fair sex, I am forced
to conclude that no good thing can
come out of a beer garden—no more
on Piedmont avenue than on Decatur
street. Beer Is Intoxicating, and if men
drink enough of it they will certainly
get drunk, nnd I have no doubt thut a

STRONG A RGUMEN T.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
In your Issue of October 20 there ap
pears a comment concerning college
fraternities, the general trend of which
is In their favor. Believing that not
all of the evidence In connection with
the present phase of the matter was
submitted, we think it only Just to the
non-fraternity/element that a few ad
ditional words be said with reference to
the prevailing Influence of these or
ganisation* In our colleges today. In
order to form a Just and proper esti
mate of thl* Influence it is well to leave
out of fonalderatlon the purpose tor
which these societies were organised
and the conditions under whlcli they
were created—whatever these may have
been—anfl to look at them in the light
of their present condition.
With a membership constituting on
the whole only about 40 per cent of the
students In the various colleges where
they are allowed, they appear first as
patronise such a resort, but the best f responsible for an unfortunate division
people of Atlanta will certainly not be among the student*. This division be-
patrons of a Iyer saloon. Besides, I comes unfortuhate, and even serious,
a business like this cannot be conduct- Inot merely because of the fart that the
ed on "high plane.” for ull liquor I student body la partitioned into differ-
businesses are Immoral and cannot pos- | ent factions, but because of the man-
slbly be good, per in which the division Is made. LJt-
As matters now stand, there Is farjerary societies* open as they are to
too much drinking In Atlanta, and ; all the students, and placing a premium
sphere of fraternity action promotes
a selfish rather than a broad-minded,
tolerant spirit, and tends to bias the
mind and produce clannishness."
Such objections ns these are based
upon considerations of the general wel
fare, but probably the most harmful
influence of fraternities, under existing
conditions, is that exerted upon the In
dividual member* themselves Jf the
purpose of a liberal education is to !uy
a firm and broad foundation for the
successful conduct of life, then the fra
ternity spirit as it Is being manifested
In our cotleges today tends to defeat
the very object of education itself. A
young man. just in the midst of the
formative period of life, finds hlmsalf a
member of a limited and exclusive set
—it set bound together by mere art!
(Ida! ties—and such a stute of affairs
Is conducive to a narrow view of hu
man life nnd a misconception of human
friendships. Without regard to what
ever uncongenlnlltles that may exist
between one Member and another, these
men must be friends and companions,
and In thl* way one's friend* me mude
for and not by him. Thu*, no opportu
nity t» given a member to appeal to his
own Inclinations and desires; his value
of his friendships Is sure to be lowered,
and his views of love contracted.
