PROHIBITION DEPARTMENT.
IDIIED BY MS. gfollMfOY MW. W. SMOJK. JR.
THANK GOD FOR TRIUMPH OF PROHIBITION.
Remarkable testimony to the ia gone, bright and early Monday
Vv
immediate and farreachintc bene
fits of state Prohibition is con*
taiipl in a recent judicial opin
ion rendered from the federal
bench by Judge Emory Speer oi
the Georgia sonthern district
coart. This deliberate and un
prejudiced pronouncement by an
eminent United States jurist is
one of the most notable tributes
to the economic moral worth of
Pmfeibition ever delivered by a
disinterested man in officials life
whose position and reputation
make his utterance of far great
er weight than the enthusiastic
eloquence of any professional
temperance advocate.
In view of the fact that, not
withstanding these results of
Prohibition, the dominant Dem
ocratic party politicians of Geor
gia are hopelessly divided in
mttitnde toward the law empha-
aizesthe still greater success and
blessing of a prohibitory law
when it shall be administered
and maintained by a party uni
tedly friendly to it and from
principle rather than policy
pledged to honestly enforce and
preserve it
The testimony of Judge Speer
has attracted the atention of the
law journals throughout the
country. Judge Speers’ words
are as follows:
Lauok and Capital Share Alike
1th Uknkfith.
Already the most astounding
benefits have been experienced
by the people at large from the
Prohibition law. Why, even
the dumb brutes which have been
subjected to the service of man
wcaili, if they coaid, thank God
for prohibition.
“The hard driving and neglect
of the drunken negro and the
drunken white as well have been
succeeded by kindliness and at
tention .
“The state of Georgia in
twelve mouths will gain incalcu
lable advantages in the improve
ment of stock alone, because
drunkards no longer handle and
dri?e them. A prominent mill
man in Maoon, one of onr best
citizens, assured me that, while
heretofore he could rot get his
men to work before Tuesday or
Wednesday after the Saturday
ai|$t debanoh, now that {whisky
morning, they are at the engine,
the spindle and the loom .
“Labor which was almost im
possible to obtain through the
rural districts, is now plentiful,
and the work has jnst begun.
Little more than a year ago 1
heard experienced contractors
complain that many of the labor
ers would work only a day or two
in a week to obtain enough mon
ey for sapport and the small
amount of food consumed and
then quit work until the money
was gone.
“The police coorts of snch
great cities as Macon, Augusta
and Atlanta, when contrasted
with their former methods, have
practically gone ont of business.
“The offenses formerly engag
ing their attention are now net
committed. This will be found
true in the superior courts and
• he county courts throughout
the state of Georgia. Where a
week or two weeks of the people s
time and money were expended
upon the criminal docket it will
not bear out my experience if
they do not finish in a day or two
days.
Staktlinu Contrast ok Coirts
Under Prohibition mvnd Lh knhk.
“1 well remember when 1 was
a young solicitor general that in
one county of my circuit the sale
of liquor was forbidden. Early
Monday morning the tall, stal
wart, clear eyed people, cleanly,
manly, quiet, temperate and dis
creet, would gather in the coun
ty teat. By the second day we
were through with the criminal
docket.
“In an,Rdjoining county, with
the same lands the same climate
and the same people, often of
the same families, the sale of
liquor was present. \fhe faith-
ful judge was prompt to call the
criminal docket at the first mo
ment, but it was usually true
that with all the energy and dis
patch of its officers at least two
weeks were required for its dis
position.
“The looks of the people weie
different. In one county there
was the temperate life, where
hope elevates and joy brightens;
in the other the countenance of
the people were sodden. There
were the bleared and billons eye,
the lurid vitage, the unshorn
jaws and not infrequently the
uiibathed person, which distilled
in the court an odor that, in the
language of John Wesley on one
occasion, Mid not smell like bal-
sam.’
“In a shoit time after the ab-
*
olition of the liquor traffic in the
noble city of Athens 1 have seen
the drunkard reformed and re
consecrated to the duties of man
hood, his dingy boose repainted,
his fences rebuilt, bis once pa
thetic, barefoot, dirty little chil
dren clean, well clothed, well
shod .and well fed, with bright
eyes hastening to school, and the
wife whose once worn and wast
ed features in the happiness and
pride of his resurrection and re
gained the loveliness aud charm
of youth.
The Moral Effects of Prohibi
tiox Incalcui ABLF-
“I have not discussed the moral
phases of this great question, but
merely those which seem to be legal
and jYolitical. If the laws which the
people of our state have enacted are
enforced the chief happiness to inuie
to those we love is the consciousness
that henceforth, if we expel the de
mon of the still from our borders,
confidence and peace will reassume
their place in happy homes among
those dear objects of our love, dearer
to us Uhau are the ruddy drops that
visit our hearts.'
i
“Once there was, within my own
memory, nosich thing in all the bor
ders of this southland as that tin-
sjieakable crime the bare mention of
which will stir a fever in the blood
of age and make the infant sineas
strong as steel. It will disappear
from our civilization when the brain
of^he docile African, even of the
lowest order, is no longer infuriated
and rendered careless or desperate of
consequences by the drink he absorbs.
In his furtive wanderings on the
lonely roads or in his solitary lair in
the forest the poisonous cardiac stim
ulant drives the blood to the savage
in swift pulsations to his compressed
or maddened brain, and then, no
matter how desperate the chance or
certain of detection, the crime is com
mitted. This it is which has ranked
the people of Georgia, save perhaps
in one or two great cosmopolitan
cities, in the serried ranks of those
who hav? determined that the sale
and famishing oi liquor shall stop
within our borders.
“The People Did It,” Declares
Judge Speer.
“The politicians did not do it.
They framed a platform for local op
tion. The representatives of the
people stamped the planks ol this
platform into nothingness.
“It is a revolution and it will not
stop with Georgia, nor do I believe it
will stop with the South. Even now
the senior senator of this state has
evoked the powerfu^aid oi congress
to fulfill the purpose of this people.
“Lives will become irradiant by
its presence. Gentle woman reas
sumes her rightful station as regnant
queen. The prayers oi good men in
great cities, amid the dim religions
light of great churches,-are heard
that it may prosper. And in country
churches, in the shade of gigantic
oaks or amid the sighing pines, the
prayers and the song worship of the
simple, earnest servants of the old
time religion as they roll away amid
the aisles of t!»e forestare thank ollVr-
ings of a long sull'ering and a sorely
troubled people that strong drink has
been forever banished from our stite.”
