Crime in the United States.
When we consider the position the United
States holds In the world, by reason of Its
geographical position, Its resources, nird Its
progressive ami rapidly-growing population,
to say. ns sober judgment aim
--- eagles scream, that "As Amer
ica goes, so goes the world." Tills must
make us feel our tremeudoiis responsibility
nud "give us pause." when we consider
the terrible record of crime that this coun-
tfy Is writing on the pages of history.
Tuese statistics are startling: In the
year 1891. there were. In Italy, about Af
ro start!
*«--»•« joaj. iultu were, in limy, iimuir nr*
tern homicides per hundred thousand of
population; in Spain about twelve; (a V’.uk-
inmb 1.6. and In the United States over
nine. In otiier words, the United States,
'bile not ns criminal 11s Spain or Italv.
vastly more criminal than such countries
* England. Germany and France. More
than that, the number of homicides In the
l-nited States rose from 92.4 per million In
habitant* In 1891, to 152.2 In 1895, since which
time there hat been a decline to 104.-4 In
1994.
Tho Punishment of Crime.
When we consider the question of the
trial nud conviction of criminals, the record
Is, perhaps, still more discouraging, because
failure here Is failure of the best people,
not of the worst. Well then, what Is our
record In that respect? In the year 1886.
there was one execution for seventeen hom
icides; In 1991, one execution for seventy-
three homicides. ” " ‘

as they appeared on the front page of
The Atlanta Constitution, greeted my
eyes a few days ago, as I was en route
to Sylvanla to speak in the Interest of
prohibition.
So the mayor has vetoed, aa many
people believed he would do, the fa
mous bill passed by the famous council
of Atlanta. Of course, this will go
down in history, and make Interesting
reading for a long time to come.
Did the mayor do right? That's the
question. On this proposition many
people differ. Hundreds, yea, thou
sands, agreed with the mayor; some
good* persons and some bad, while ninny
declare him very wicked for doing so
heartless a thing. Some declared that
If the measure was approved by the
mayor it would certainly bring on a
prohibition election, while others de
clared with equal emphasis, that ff the
mayor vetoed the measure the election
would be provoked.
The mayor gives his unqualified in
dorsement to low license, such as has
obtained in Atlanta for nineteen years.
Maybe the mayor thinks that the high
license system will land a fellow In
hell Just as effectually and Just as
promptly as the low license system,
that be so, and the present plan Is
working very beautifully, why not let
well enough alone?
The mayor says: "I know what Is
just and what is right, and this whole
question should never have been agi
tated." Now If the mayor knows-—and
he says he knows—then a large com
pany of pretty respectuble people nnd
some not so respectable, don’t know,
and so this trouble Is brought on us for
nothing—all on account of the Igno
rance of "folks." O, the Ignorance, the
stupidity of Atlnnta cltlsens! I know
the mayor must feel ashamed of them.
Surely their actions in this matter
must be humiliating to his honor. Why
disturb Atlanta? Why break up the
peace ar.2 harmony of the whole liquor
fraternity? Why put such a premium
on u mother’s boy when he can slide
so easily into hell, and' for such a small
sum? Of course the soul of a boy Is
not worth 92,000. Don't he extrava
gant; be very economical. Put just
alues on man and beast. Learn the
vu\es of equity. Pay $2,000, 19,000, 1C
necessary, for a race horse, but to pay
more than 92CO or 9500 for a boy—he
may be the finest on earth—Is unpar
donable extravagance. Then, too, it
deprives the little rum sellers of the
business then nothing
exalted privilege of sending men to the
bottomless pit through the cheaper
route.
Tell me which system, the low li
cense or the high license, will be the
most comforting to the mother when
her boy fills a drunkard's grave.
The mayor says: "The city has
grown and prospered under It (low
license), and everyone has felt perfect
ly secure under Its provisions." •
Atlanta has prospered for the last 19
years and during the low license reign,
but not "under It." or on account of It,
simply In spite of It. If Atlanta has
prospered during the nineteen years—
and she has—while liquor was blight
ing and damning everything It touched,
Qod only knows the prosperity and
peace that might have crownetL her,
this fair city of the South, had the
liquor curse been removed.
And everybody Is not "secure," nor
"felt secure," either—not by a good
deal. Truth Is, no man nor set of men
has a right to break a woman’s heart
nor damn a mother’s boy for pecuniary
gain. Let the. price be 91 or 910,000.
ArwJ if Ik* lm * — »»-p

wrecks.
Whether the mayor approves or ve
toes, whether men clamor for high li
cense or low license, some of us are
unalterably and eternally opposed to
selling human beings to the rum devil.
The whole license system Is wrong,
cruelly wrong. No government, no mu
nicipality, has any moral right to II-
cenee the hurt of any living man, J
don't care what the compensation is.
The queen of Madagascar says she
will tint license any business In her
kingdom that would do harm to her
subjects, so there are no licensed sa
loons In Madagascar. Let the mayor
Atlanta learn a lesson from the
heathen queen. Let patriotic cltlsens
from every section of old Fulton rise
up end say, Down with the liquor
shops! L,et every (’hristfan gentleman
from the greatest man In the pulpit to
the humblest man In the pew, do Ids
duty. The war is en. Line up. Stand
for the tempted boy and the endanger
ed home. No time for nailing. No
Ime for Inaction. Why wait longer
when the enemy Is on the field; when
the fair flower of the country is going
lown beneath the fires of rum?
Gentlemen, sign the petition und let
tl\e election be called. The licensed
system will not, cannot, settle the prob.
lent. To abolish the rum traffic alone,
to settle It, A compromise Is u sin
and a crime.

SILVER LI CAMP
MOVE MEMBERSHIP HERE,
URGES SECRET ORDER MAN
By M. D. GLEASON.
There Is an unusually large num
ber of fraternal men living In Atlanta
at present, who Joined the varloua or
ders elsewhere before moving to At
lnnta, and still retain their member
ship In these orders, but continue to
keep their name on the roll of the
subordinate lodge they first Joined.
Why should not these members
transfer their membership where It Is
practicable to an Atlanta lodge of the
same order?
There Is no doubt a great many who
are permanently located here ana
many more so situated thnt they will
probably never go back to live In the
towns and cities where they became a
member of their chosen order. If such
be the case, why have they delayed so
long? They certainly must be aware
thnt the focal lodges of the several dif
ferent orders in Atlanta are equal. If
not superior, to others In the same
^ They *areResidents qt our fair city,
exercising the privilege of voting In
municipal elections, and make their
living with us. Such being the case,
It does not seem wise nor patriotic
to boast of, nor pay dues nnd send
money that they earn In Atlnnta to
other cities, and In some cases to Can
ada, when they can just ns well trans
fer their membership to an Atlanta
lodge of the same order.
Again, there In anothor side of the
matter that will be benefited more by
huvlng the membership In a local lodge
than in one a hundred or a thousand
miles away. It Is true every visiting
member receives a hearty welcome
when he arrives in Atlanta and visits
any of the local lodges, but after that
member ts a resident of Atlanta ten or
fifteen years he can hardly expect to be
showm the same courtesies that he first
received.
While It In true any member In good
standing can visit most any lodge of
his order, yet he can take part In only
a limited way In their deliberations.
Probably some of our members might
advance a sentimental reason why they,
would rather not transfer. Sentiment
Is all right in Its place, but suppose
they get sick or die, they nor their
families can possibly receive the ben
efits they are justly entitled to as
quick ns If the membership was In an
Atlanta lodge. **
i tcijutimi; nUiim *uuu Hitter IS criti
cised because it did not visit some
member who was in sickness or dis
tress, or was not properly represented

ity It was that member or his family's
fault In not properly notifying the
proper officials of the order of which
he was a member.
