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. GORE. Mr. B. F.
