THE BOOKER WASHINGTON
ISSUE AGAIN TURNS UP

TO the Editor of The Journal:
In your issue of the 18th instant, Com
missioner Glenn makes reply to certain
statements made in my card to The Jour
nal of Monday last. 1 did not call the
name of Commissioner Glenn in my allu-
sion to the Booker Washington reception
in this city, but it seems that he knows
his number"
Mr.. Glenn seeks to evade some of the
opprobrium which southern people attach
to negrophilism, by stating that the occa-
sion at which he was present was not a
banquet. Mr.. Webster gives US one of the
definitions of a banquet, IAN entertain
ment," and it makes no difference so far
as the commissioner is concerned wheth-
er the guests were entertained with wine
or gush, the facts remain that he was
present, and did eulogize Booker Wash
ington in complimentary terms.
l charged that Commissioner Glenn did
then and there extol Booker T. Washing
ton IN words or glowing euIesy. Governor
Gambler says: MY recollection is that
YOU spoke in complimentary terms OF
Washington" ] have the word Of two
as responsible men as there are in Allan
ia that the commissioner did eulogize
Washington in glowing language, paying
him such a tribute as he has not paid to
any white man in this country
Commissioner Glenn's official conduct
and public utterances are legitimate mat
tiers of criticism but under no cireum-
stances will I lug before the people his
private business affairs. I have no SYM
pathy with such methods of controversy.

HOW DALLAS WILL ENTERTAIN
THE VISITING CONFEDERATE VETERANS

to the commissary department.
For a suitable hall in which to hold the
meetings for business there is an auditor
ium that will seat $500 people. A mess
hall has been constructed where all meals
will be served free to veterans. The con-
tract for badges, to cost $1,000, has been
let, and they will be the handsomest ever
seen at any reunion.
Eight bands will be employed to furnish
music The information committee has
arranged for lodging and boarding place
for the multitude.
Various entertainments have been pro-
vided for everybody, the old and the
young, interesting and amusing, that will
make the hours pleasant by day and by
night-enjoyable diversions from the rou-
tine of business, the reminiscent chats OF
war times" and rejuvenescence of the
memories of the olden, golden days of
youth. Among these will be parade by
the Kaliphs, a most respondent pageant. a
scene rivaling in brilliancy and beauty
even that of 1.-The Field of the Cloth of
Cold" or the mighty gathering in the
chivalric age of armored knights for the
tournament, where lances were shivered
and blows of sword and mace fell heavily
in the fray, and all for a fair woman's
smile. This will be on the night of the
23d. The next night the Kaliphs will give
magnificent ball, clad in the wondrous
costumes glistening with the sheen of gold
and gems, and crown the Queen of the
Kaliphate. The Sons of Confederate Vet
Grams will also give a grand ball. To all
entertainments the Confederate soldier has

be held at the same time.
To accommodate and care for the Con-
federates properly tho Texas State Fair
grounds in the eastern portion of the city
was chosen as the place where the reunion
will be held, and where an encampment
will be established. into which every Con-
federate is invited to go as the guest of the
people of Dallas and of Texas. Tents will
be erected, cots, blankets and pillows have
been purchased and all Confederates, rich
or poor, who will go into the encampment,
will be lodged and fed free of any change
The Texas State Fair grounds, where the
reunion will be held, embraces 120 acres,
containing five miles of gravel walks and
drives, with foliage and flowers that bloom
during the entire year, making very at
tractive spot for the old veterans to pitch
their tents. There is complete system Of
waterworks on the ground, and every ia
cility offered to make the old heroes COM
Portable, which is a very necessary pro-
vision, as the ranks are becoming thinner
and more feeble with each succeeding re-
union.
Ample opportunity, at moderate cost,
will be afforded to visitors to the reunion
to make excursions over the state to visit
various points of interest, which are rich
in historical lore and to view the vast do
main of the Lone Star State.

No expense can be too great for the

sells the souls of our fathers and sons and

here and hereafter, refuse to build home

A TEACHER ENDORSES.
MRS. FELTON'S REMARKS

To the Editor of The Journal:
I read Mrs. Felton's piece in The Jour
nal and was really pleased to see the way
she handled the question of The Public
School Money She certainly struck a
note to please the people generally. and
particularly the public school teachers.
Now, we in the country believe that either
the town teachers get the money or the
officers of the state. Why should the
school commissioners Estate and county,
have their pay before the teachers of the
pooY< country schools are paid? Why
should parties who draw large salaries
from the state, be paid before those who
draw small salaries? Why should state
house official be paid before a little
school teacher who, with his family, de-
ponds upon what can be made out Of
teaching school? A teacher teaching in
Georgia has no idea of when he will be
paid for his teaching. Is such the case
with the big salaried officials? Certainly
not. All the lords have to do is to walk
up to the captains office and call for
what is due him.
Now these are some of the things that
country people talk about and would like
to understand.
The candidates for the next school COM
missioner would do a big thing for them
selves if they can convince the people that
their plan for remedying these things will
remedy them. Respectfully,
J. S. EDMUNDSON.

ANOTHER DOCTOR OPPOSES
AN INEBRIATE ASYLUM
FORT VALLEY, Ga, March

FORT VALLEY, Ga, March 70, lSOz.
To the Editor of The Journal:
Dear Sir-I see that the question OF hav-
ing a state inebriate hospital is being ag-
itated through the medium of The Journal
by some physicians in Georgia. beg you
to please allow me a little space in which
to raise my voice in strong objection to
the hospital.
These physicians will agree with me
that in treating disease they first try
to remove the cause of same disease, and
work faithfully to that end. What good
will an inebriate hospital accomplish when
barroomS are springing, mushroom-hke,
over the state. But unlike mushrooms,
they are rooted deeply in Georgia soil.
sending wickedness, misery, poison and
death to thousands of Georgia homes, and
seldom it is that hand is found with
power sufficient to uproot and utterly de-
stroy the vile blot on Georgia's civiliza-
ton and Christianity-the barroom! 1t re-
minds me of the boy who tried to dip the
water out of the ocean with sitter; as
fast as it comes in it goes out. So with
the hospital. AS fast as you could dismiss
your patients, supposedly "cured," or
even retain them for safe keeping, the
barrooms are manufacturing inebriates
faster than you could ever make room
for them. say supposedly cured" for
several years ago inebriates were received
into the state sanitarium for treatment.
were dismissed as cured, but large per
cent relapsed. Suppose we should have
the hospital. The people of our state are
already grooming under the heavy weight
of taxation; and when / say people 1
mean the honest, poor, Woodworking in
dividual, from whom is exacted the last
penny to pay his taxes. and not the big
corporations, who somehow manage to
escape paying their full quota of taxes.
Let us not add to the peoples burden by
taxing them to support an inebriate hos
pital until something further is done to
stop the cause of drunkenness. Let us
vote for Dupont Query for governor, do
all we can to abolish barrooms; then we
will not have so much need for inebriate
hospitals. Very truly,

the maker in the midst Of the odors of

ANOTHER GEORGIA DOCTOR
OPPOSES CARE OF DRUNKARDS

This discussion of a state inebriate asyl-
UNI is a generation or two ahead of time.
This state is not yet caring for half its
insane. hardly any of its epileptics. but
very few of it's idiots. perhaps none of
its imbeciles, and not one of it's physi-
cally helpless paupers. And yet. a few
misinformed and misguided people would
have the public taxed to support in idle
ness and luxury the drunkards while they
are renovated after debauches, getting
ready to be turned loose again on a confd-
ing public. For everyone who has ever
had any institutional experience knows
that the inebriate is by lar the hardest
semi-responsible individual to hold under
restraint. Habeas corpus proceedings al
ways come with soberness.
Massachusetts is the only state that has
seriously attempted such an asylum and
finds that it costs nearly seven dollars
week per capita to maintain IL; and rarely
even regularly convicted and committed
dipsomaniacs are held six months; they
are then returned renovated mentally and
physically to society. having been warm
