STATE CAMPAIGN INSTEAD
OF LOCAL PROHIBITION FIGHT
“The dove of peace hovXr* abore the
rank* of the prohibition!*!*," asld Dr.
John B. White, paator of the Second..Bap-
tint church, Friday morning. k “A campaign
for Htate prohibition will do away with
th«* fight for local prohibition, I believe."
Ur. White ha* been the leader of the
courcrvatlvea, thoae who want prohibition
In Atlanta, but who do not believe that
nn election In the nenr future would car
ry, and who do not wish to plunge the
dty Into it heated campaign with Its'et-
tendant 111 feeling. He voiced the senti
ment of the Baptist conference, as Indi
ra ted In preaa dispatches.
Bn
ghton, the lender
‘pushing
i the coming spring, said a few days ago
that a state election would be the only
thing which could side-track an A
election.
“It will v be necessary to petition the
next leglNlnture for a bill providing for
a prohibition election'.’*-* continued Dr.
White. "And n two-thirds, vote of the
state will be required to pass n law.
“In the last legislature a canvas* show-:

house favored prohibition. In the senate
It was not certain that two-thirds could

fact that he was a man of wealth and

of property In Nashua, N. II., the place

Dr. John E. White, whose card on
prohibition In The Georgian attracted
ao much attention seyeral days ago,
has made a brief reply to the card of
Dr. Len G. Broughton, calling attention
to the latter's answer end stating, that
bis own card had' not 'Jbeen fairly an
swered. Dr. White's 'reply Is as fol
lows:
To the Editor of The Georgian:
l>t me answer briefly Dr. L. a.
Broughton’s reply to my. statement ot
u few days ago with respect to the bad
judgment of pitching s« prohibition
flection at this time In Atlanta.
I have always noticed that In news
paper and political controversies It Is
the favorite trick of debate to do two
things to the other fellow. First make
the Impression that he. had said some
thing or dona ' something that - was
bad; second, that he wanted to do a
heap more of It.
Dr. Broughton's reply turns altogeth
er away from the argument of my
statement and makes me out mean, be
cause he says I will not abide majori
ties, and then because I am disposed, as
he suggests, to stand in the way oh
prohibition In Atlanta.
Neither of these Impressions can
stick long In anybody’s mind unless
they have sticky minds for Just, that
kind of sticker. As to majority and mi
nority In Atlanta of those who are es
sential to a successful prohibition cam
paign at this time, I took the pains to
canvass that fact and the result has
been published. Dr. A. C, Ward's can
voss and the list he presented was not
In any real sense aq offset' to my In
vcstlgation.
Dr. Ward's petition asked: ‘‘Wilt you
vote prohibition?. Yes or no?? I signed
Dr. Whrd's paper myself, "yes," and
it would be strange If three hundred
people were not easily found to sign
There has been no meeting of tl
Anti-Saloon League directors at i
upon this Issue. The two meetings
attended were of citlxens In the midst
of race riot excitement—the last meet
ing when nineteen men present refused
a motion to have a general meeting of
prohibitionists to determine what our
l>ollcy should be. If Dr. Broughton was
desirous to have majorities decide, why
did he oppose a mass meeting of rep
resentative prohibitionists to consider
the matter?
No man except an evil-minded per.
son can say that my judgment, SUP'
ported as it Is by the judgments of 160
out of 194 ot the best Christian leaders
In Atlanta, and by the Judgments of
Governor Northern the president of the
Georgia Baptist convention, and Judge
W. It. Hammond, the president of the
Anti-Saloon League, Is Influenced by
any consideration except the Interests
of our cause.
In both the statements made pub
llcally by me I have pleaded the In
terests of a state prohibition campaign
as the reason for not Jumping Into a
disastrous defeat In Atlanta In the face
of a glorious prospect in Georgia.
I urged that our energies be con'
rentrated upon state prohibition and
not dissipated In a certain reverse In
the capital city.
And now that the movement for state
prohibition has taken shape, I call
upon Dr. Broughton and all the others
who have taken position with him to
pause and consider If they should not
turn all our forces In this direction.
For that movement here are: my heart
and hand.

Johnson gave himself up to the city

The concert given, at the .Grand
Thursday evening by Frieda siemena,
pianlste, wae one of the artistic treats
of the season. Miss Siemens was as
sisted by Miss Christine Giles, soprano
and vlollnlkt, "glia' A.'Leon- Kronfeldt,
tenor? — — —
While Miss Sletqens does not stand In
the rank of the most eminent pian
ists of the day,, yet her playing. Is
marked by consistent artistic execu
tion and thorough sympathy with the
composer She Interprets. - *
Her program last night-was light In
nature and proved most pleasing to the
audience. The' one criticism that might
be brought agalnet her playing was the
npparent. tack .of shading In her exe
cution. One or two of the lighter num
bers she played well, but It appeared
that there was missing a coloring that
might have been fitting. Her rendi
tion of the Bach number was the most
Interesting of the evening. She played
It with rare ability. One of the eyents
of the evening was her Introduction ot
the Finale Ballet of Poldlnl which, It Is
said, she Is the first to play In America.
. ,“Raffles” at the Grand.
'Raffles,” with 8. Miller Kent In the
title role, will be presented at the
Grund Friday and Saturday nights with
Saturday matinee. Mr. Kent has
made an enviable reputation In this
production. He has been surrounded
with a supporting company ot superior
class, ilo that the entire play has been
able to win applause wherever It has
been presented. Mr. Kent In well and
favorably known for his work.In parts
cast In the fifteenth and sixteenth cen
turies. He has appeared to even bet
ter advantage In the part of a modern,
up-to-date man of the world. The pe
culiar anomaly is presented of a hand
some, big-hearted man being the victim
of a mania for stealing. He does not
steal tor the mere gain, but his craving
for mental excitement and stimulant
lakes that turn. He Is the favorite be
tween the dectectlve who is seeking to
rid society of a moral leper and the
thief who robe his associates. There
a strong under-current of love, be
cause ''Raffles" finds time to fall in
love with one of his victims, a charm
ing, wholesouled girl who loves hlin
even after he has confessed to her that
he Is a thief who should be In the pen
itentiary. The play Is well worth -see-
presentatlons to Its credit at the Bijou,
and from present Indications the S. R.
O. sign will be displayed, at all three
performances. No attraction of the
Bijou season has given .better eatlsfac-
tlon, which‘doubtless Accounts fob the
targe patronage.
At the El Dorado.
“Man's Enemy” preached .'a sermon
at the El Derado Thursday night which
was peculiarly apropos to the whisky
traffic agitation which Is now on In
Atlanta, and the members of the Bald-
wln-MelvIlle Stock Company were fully
equal to every part ln the play. The
audience numbered many of those who
frequent the other play houses, which
is a coimfliment to the present excel
lent management of the little play
house, and It showed Its approval of
the play In many outbursts of ap
plause.
Miss Lillian • Bayer was . seen In
distinctly new role, the part of Sarah
Drake being that of an adventures!
who marries Harry .Stanton (Rlchari
Buhler) for, his money. Mlse Bayer
played the part with such earnestness
as to win hisses from the audience
on several occasions, a distinct compli
ment to her histrionic ability.
John T. Dwyer as Tom Drake, who
sought to ruin Harry Stanton with
cards and drink, and Thomas B. Find
lay us Count Lansky, ,his confederate,
were as bad villains as good acting
could make.
Miss Myrtle Vane, as Polly Harris,
a maidservant, and Gus Forbes, as
Adolph Embonpoint, a butler, played
comedy parts which were greeted with
hearty laughter, and were ably assist
ed by .Percy Pollock, as Iky Barnett,
In a Hebrew part which was distinctly
different. from the Hebrew comedy so
often shown. -
The other parts were tvell taken care
ot, but were ot such minor Importance
as to give no Indication ot ability.
“Man’s Enemy” will be seen Friday
and Saturday nights and matinees.
"The 8ll\-er King" Is announced for the
first play next week. E. E. G.

J. ,W. Armstrong Recognizes
Trio of Hold-up
Men.
While walking along Whitehall
street Thursday night J. W. Armstrong,
Jr„ of the Everett-Rldley Company,
overheard three negro men talking and
Immediately recognised them as the
trio of highwaymen who held him up
and robbed him and then fired several
shots at him at Washington street and
.Trinity avenue several weeks ago.
Armstrong followed the negroes until
he found Policemen Maddox and Long
and then had them arrested.
Armstrong positively Identified the
prisoners Friday morning In police
court and they were bound over to the
state courts on the charge of robbery,
their bonds fixed at 3100 each. The
negroes denied they were guilty and
the recorder said he would make the
bonds light, as tbsrs might be some
doubt of their guilt.

TO BE SUCCESS
From all Indications, the big Immi
gration dinner at the Piedmont hotel

ten their acceptance ot the Invitations,
and covers will bs laid for about 275.
Nearly all the directors ot the Georgia
Immigration Association will be In at

other distinguished visitors.
Hon. Ifoke Smith, who was to speak
on “Immigration” at the dinner, has
notified the chamber that It will be im
possible for him to be here, as he has
Important work In Columbus. G. Oun-
by Jordan, ot Columbus, has also had
to decline the Invitation because of im

Blanch* AValih in “Krtutzar Sonata.”
Mis* Blanche Walsh will play a re
turn engagement at the Grand Monday
nlght for one performance only of her
Intent and greateat play. "Kreutier
Sonata," In which ahe scored auch a
distinct triumph In New York. The
piece was originally produced In Yid
dish, but waa poaaeaaed of ao many ex
ceptional qualities that It was trans
lated into English, at great expense
and Infinite pains, that the literary
merit might be retained. Miss Walsh
was regarded as one of the very few
actresses possessed of sufficient emo
tional ability to correctly interpret the
piece.
“8imple Simon Simple."
The authors of "Simple Simon Sim
ple" have provided a play which Is en
tirely different from other musical at
tractions. The only possible criticism
would be that there Is too much fun
for a single show and two many big
musical hits for n single production.
There are six comedians with the com
pany and each vies with the others In
contributing laughs. While one such u
musical number us "Dear Old College
Day.." “The Rootblacks and the 3lald,"
"Plckannlnny Mose” or "June" . Is
enough to set a whole city humming
and whistling. "Simple Simon Simple,"
with the original company end the
same chorus that set New York wild,
comes to the Grand Tuesday afternoon
at matinee and again Tuesday night.
Next Week at Bijou.
It Is not easy to ieii from the ■!»
of a toad how far it can hop, but not
so with the magnitude of "In New
York Town." It Is only necessary to
Judge from the names Included In the
cast to depend upon a genuine musical
omeily trial. Charles Howard, James
j. Carson, Loney Haskell, Lon Milter,
Herbert W. Parker. Tell Taylor, Rita
Redmond, Miss Pollard, Clara and
Jennie Austin, Louise Carver and the
dozen other* who are riven the widest
possible (attitude for their special fun
and song talents. In this merry musical
extravaganxa will in all probability
make an evening of rare pleasure for
those who attend the performance at
the Bijou next Monday night. Charles
Howard will be seen In his original
character of “Little Ikey."

and bring it Into subjection."—1 Cor.
8:27.
Vhe supposition Is that this lesson
will be taught .In all the Sunday schools
of the world, and there Is no place
where It Is not needed. There Is no
civilised community on the face of the
earth that has hot felt the blighting
Influence of the whisky traffic.
It It the greatest curse of the world
today. Its victims outnumber those
of war, pestilence and famine. It would
be difficult to find a single family
among whoso members some one has
not fallen us Its victim.
If all }Jie tears It has wrung from
aching hearts of the blood It has
caused to flow by the brains It
has maddened, could be gathered,
the pool would float the largest ship
that was ever built. The money that
Is expended for drink In a single day
would provide a turkey for Thanksgiv
ing for all the Inhabitants of the
civilised world. In every uge It hus
been the curse of .the race. It was so
In thh time of Isuluh, when he de
nounced It, during the reign of Alms.
During his reign'fie'had reached out
Into other lands and brought buck not
only articles ot commerce, put luxury
and Idolatry, vice find Intentperance.
The prophet saw the result, and ao
he tries tq stem the' tide of ruin.
In this lesson he especially de
nounces the sin of Intemperance, the
effect of which was then the same as
It Is today.

Some years ago a town meeting was
held In a town In Pennsylvania to
decide the question pf. licensing the
saloon. As the question was about to
lie put there arose In the corner of
the room a miserable female, wrinkled
ami gaunt, and stretching out her arms
In a shrill voice she cried, “Look on

You all know I was once the mistress

It not only dethrones the reuson,
paralyses the will, deadens the con
