Public Mind LET HIM WHO IS WITHOUT 81N CAST THE FIRST STONE. To The Herald. I beg leave to use n space In your valuable column on a topic, which it seems has been discussed by many able nnd learned men of our city. I agree with Brother Smith, when he says that "We all know best how to settle the question.” Therefore, to set before the Five Hundred Dollar Committee a feasible plan (which Is slow but sure) to have same plan considered by all classes, and not by the "best people” alone, 1 beg the space. Under the present system of SI,OOO license for saloons, each place must close prompt at 11:69 Saturday night and remain closed until Mondny morn ing, and for entering the premises dur ing the sild time, a saloon keeper will Incur the wrath of THE EI.IJOTT DEPARTMENT" nnd an Augusta Jury will find him guilty of violating the prohibition law. "LOOK AT THE DIP." Yet one of our "best men” In Au gusta Is n member df a rerlaln ex clusive club In Augusta, which allows the sale of Intoxicating drinks on Sun day. and he approves of same, by him retaining hls membership In said or ganization (even If It la for lifting a Golf Rail Instead of a High Hull). Yet he does not approve the way that Your Councllmen, whom the PEOPLE elect d, are going to run I lie Saloons In 1915; and he arises before them assembled nnd makes a fine spiel vs to how he would handle the problem. I wonder If he has ever heard this, which is attributed to One whose Birth all Christians celebrate next Friday: "LET HIM WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE.” I would like to submit to the sign ers of the petition, and all who were afraid of the Liquor Dealers' Associ ation, thlH plan: THAT THEY INDI VIDPAI.LY ABSTAIN FROM ALL INTOXICATING LIQUORS, RESIGN THEIR MEMBERSHIPS IN THE VA RIOUS ORGANIZATIONS THEY BE LONG TO THAT SELL LIQUORS, ATTEND NO BANQUET IN PROHI BITION STATES WHERE LIQUOR IS SERVED, AND RY AI.L WORDS AND EXAMPLE TRY TO UPHOLD THE PROHIBITION IN SPIRITUOUS LIQUORS TO THE DOT, AS TO DO OHFHWISF IN THE FUTURE IN A PROHIBITION STATE WILL BE MERE HYPOCRISY. "FOR A LAW TO BE OBSERVED IT MUST BE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.” If my suggestions nre followed out 1 believe that fewer licenses for sa loons will be taken out each year. Wishing all a Merry Christmas anil a Happv New Year, I am J. B. KARN.
