EDUCATE YOUNG
TO fear DRINK.
Greatest Enemy of Moral and Com
mercial Progress of Human Race
Washington, Nov. 9. —Alcohol and
alcoholism are two of the real and
substantial enemies om moral, artis
tic and commercial progress of the
human race, according to the report
of the United States delegation at the
twelfth international congress of al
coholism, made public by the state
department today. The delegates
were appointed by Secretary Knox
as one of his first official acts. The
congress was held last July in Lon
don, and twenty-five governments
were represented, the delegates of
each concurring in the general find
ing that alcohol not only was unnec
essary to human life and comfort,
but was inimical to both.
Three departments of the United
States government were represented
by delegates, the state, navy and
treasury. Twelve rperesentatives
went abroad, and all of them unani
mously signed the report, the find
ing of which is to condmen the
drinking habit as dangerous to pub
lic health and morals and subver
sive of national, moral, commercial
and military greatness.
While the congress urged the nec
cessity of imposing the most rigor
ous restrictions on the sale and
traffic in alcoholic liquors, it regard
ed as equally important the need of
educating the younger generation to
a true knowledge of what alcohol is
OVERDRAFTS
Public opinion is rapidly forcing banks to eliminate OVER
DRAFTS. The rank and file of depositors have learned
that overdrafts mean that his neighbor has checked out his
own money and is using the money belonging to ethers
without any secureity except the cashiers responsibility,
for the Supreme Court of Georgia has decided that the
cashier is responsible for overdrafts. Depositors know
that the overdraft system is wrong, and the man whose ac
cornt is always overdtawn is the man who spends more
money than he makes and will finally have no bank account.
Deposit your money with
THE BANK OF MENLO
who will pay your money on your OWN check and not that
of your neighbor.
SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1909
and what is effects upon the human
system are. The delegates believe
that the numerous recent discover
ies as to the harmfulness of drunk
enness and even of “moderate" drink
ing also, should be set before chil
dren in order that they may see the
danger of the practice. The Amer
ican delegates sum up this phase of
their report by saying:
The value of this method of com
bating, the growth of the liquor hab
it is emphasized in the report. While
acknowlendgment is made that the
organization of associations of juven
ile abstainers is useful, it is declared
the chief reliance should be placed
on scientific temperance education in
the public schools as a means of rid
ding the public mind of errors about
the effect of alcohol and substitut
ing the fact that science is declared
to have evolved about the use of the
beverage, even when taken in small
doses.
The relations of drunkenness to
crime was a subject that received
attention at the congress. The chief
justice of England, Lord Alverstone,
announced that in his belief 90 per
cent, of the crimes passing under
his observation were due to drink.
Judge W. F. Pollard, of St. Louis.
Mo., who presides at the Second dis
trict police court in that city, de
clared that of the cases passed up
on by him fully 85 per cent of those
convicted could charge their degra
dation to the use of alcohol.
Judge Pollard won the support of
the delegates from twenty-three
countries for the adoption of his plan
to suspend sentence in the case of
every first offender who was brought
into court charged with drunkenness
This Involves such first offenders
signing a pledge to abstain for one
year. If the probationers fail to live
up to their pledge they may be ar
rested and summarily sentenced. The
knowldege that one drink may mean
a prison sentence, Judge Pollard ar
gued, kept many a man straight un
til he had time to collect himself.
