HISTORIC COMPANY MISSED
FROM MEMORIAL DAY PARADE
Doubtless everyone attending the
res on Memorial Day noted the
re of the "Id Civil War com-
the Baldwin Blues, which
rouqht honor and credit to Mil-
.ille through so many wars.
perhaps were not aware that
me honored company had been
isbanded and that the community
ow without a military unit.
The company was transferred bodily
Thomasville, Ga.. last October on
claim of violation of military
rules, although no charges were pre
ferred ar.d no trial was ever held.
It has beer, rumored thut another
nmpany was to be organized and
l a commission, but six months
lapsed and this is still as vague
;er and unless the people here
J iake some vigorous representations
y the Governor the history of the
Id company will remain without
rpetuation.
The company as a military unit re
ived over five thousand dollars
pay rolls, etc. 'which spent in
illedgeville and was a distinct as-
t to the town in a financial way
:id if shortcomings ever present
iey could have been dominated
ithout disband ; ng and abolishing
ic company itself.
TIk situation of Milledgeville in
roximity to penal institutions makes
rongly advisable that she should
an organized military unit lo-
d here and those in authority
ihould fcc to it that the Governor
edeems his promise and rights the
.Tong that has been done the com-
• ity in depriving it of this unit,
the matter was brought strongly
the Governors attention by his
fluential supporters here, a fran-
could be transferred from ‘

illedgeville who has been deprived
A CITIZEN
the respective citizens thereof
I believe that we who have known
the horrors of open saloons and also
the hypocrisies of prohibition should
give the benefit tJf our experience
with both to the next generation
who has only known the latter, in
the hope of improving the caust of
temperance.
I believe that the most practical
method of promoting temperance is
that of prohibiting private gain in
its handling. Our experience in the
late war has taught us that the most
practical way of discouraging war
is to take the profits out of it The
American Legion espoused an act of
Congress to this eflect This Is a pre
cept and an exam Die ahat the other
nations would do well to follow. Na
tions cannot by treaty legislate
international love among themselves
but each nation can legislate private
profits out of hating each other.
Likewise with liquor: we cannot
legislate prohibition into an indivi
dual. Abstinence and temperance,
like love, are from within. But we
can legislate any selfish benefits out
OC those who would seek to encour
age intemperance with a view of
some private or personal gain. Hence
all the proceeds from the sale of
such articles should go into the State
Treasury ana allocated to the cause
of education that the next genera
tion may be better informed on
temperance, government and citizen-
shiD that our State may advance
from it3 disreputable standing among
her sister States in education, and
that illiteracy in the masses may be
destroyed and demagoguery in pub
lic officials which finds its support
in ignorance and illiteracy, not tole
rated.
Believing that the proposed law
is not such an improvement as would
warrant the experiment cf changing
from the present regime, it is my
purpose to vote against it in the
interest of temperance and in the
hope that some solution of the ques
tion may be worked out by the in
telligent and temperance-loving peo
ple of Georgia. But it must be work
ed out on its own basis and through
education, and by the exercise of
rcaason and unselfishness.
