ten by our geneial and levei-headed DR..

them both 'gooder." / have long since
felt that Georgia had. great many things
that she did not need so much as she need

could be nothing but fair to take the
money that is poured into the treasury

Inmates and provide a home for them,
where. If they could not be restored. they
might die as comfortable as possible.

DIR. CASTOR DISCUSSES
THE EVIL OF INTEMPERANcE

To the Editor of The Journal:
In compliance with the request Of DR..
w. B. Parks proceed TO give you my i'm
pressions in regard to the establishment
Of an inebriate asylum for the state OF
Georgia.
Preliminary to anything that I might
saw on this subject, il strikes me as re-
auisite to get an idea OF the dramatis per-
sonae involved in this question. On the
one side stand the claims Of the inebriate
asylum for the protection and safety Of
those addicted to intemperance, and on
the other hand. large array OF parties
and organizations who are preparing in
mates for this asylum by facilitating the
use of ardent spirits TO make drunkards.
At the head of this last stand In bold
array the attractions Of the saloon.
Next i'm order comes the dispensary.
" hich IS generally part and parcel Of the
local option regulation for the sale Of
liquor. After this comes the illegal and
unwarranted blind tiger which secretly in
duces more persons to drink to excess
than the recognized saloon. The dispen-
sary comes with the showing OF law and
the manifestation of the wish Of the peo-
pie. 1t provides for the satisfaction for
the craving of liquor of many in the land
that would not go into saloon.
After disposing Of its claims, it is proper
to draw attention to the blind tiger. II
springs up in the neighborhood OF every
Iegalized provision, and probably is more
pernicious to the young and unwary than
the dispensary.
Outside of these facilities for getting in
toxicating drinks, we have various per-
sonaI resources on the part of those who
do not wish to be recognized as patrons OF
the saloons And many secretly and clan
destinely obtain liquor by any means
available, and drink to excess on account
of the difficulties encountered in connec-
ton with their indulgence.
1t has generally been supposed that

! of manufactures and the development of
all industries, and IL will be an American
bank. controlled owned and operated by
the friends of those in authority to whom
these great privileges are to be awarded.
But 1t is the government itself that
forms the important feature OF. the
scheme. That such a system should be
evolved by American legislators will inn
press the average American as being ludi-
crous, If nothing else.
No Voice In Government.
The government viii consist Of a gov
ernor and a set Of commissioners to be
appointed by the president. The commits
sioners will enact the legislation and the
governor will enforce It,
Not a voice in any of the proceedings
will the Filipinos have.
They will begin their struggle for lib
erty as the term is understood in this
country, about where the English began
before some Jealous mobiles held up King
John and made him sign the Magma Char
ia They will be little behind the pie
beians of ancient Rome before they won
the right to representation by tribunes.
In defense of this 1t is eclared that
Americans are better than was the mon
archy in England at the time referred to-
and the Filipinos are worse than the men
who demanded political rights in that dis
tant day.
This may be true and probably is, but
it does not render any the less remarka-
Bile the position taken in the matter by the
Republicans Of the senate. Originally 1t
was intended TO make the legislature OF
the islands into two houses. One was to
be composed of the commissioners select
ed by the president, and the other to be
a representative body with members elect
ed by lie people, But the latter PROPOSE
ton was stricken from the general plan.
Dubois INDUCES In Satire.
When the matter was under considera-
ton in the senate committee on the Phil
ippines Senator Dubois, who opposed all
, the propositions of the Republicans, said
to Senator Lodge, chairman Of the COM
mittee: 'If you incluue in your scheme
of government a house of representatives,
IL viii cause you lot of trouble. The men
elected by the people will always be want
ing something for their constituents and
may interfereswith some of your cherished
plans"
This was said satirically, but Lodge
grasped the situation promptly, and the
popular feature of the proposed govern
ment was promptly eliminated. The bill
will go through and the president will
appoint some Filipinos as commissioners,
but it can be seen that the character OF
the government will be something unique
in connection with out own ideas of polit-
ical rights.
In connection with this proposed legis-
lation for the Philippines the Republicans
have made the best and most important
political movement Of recent years in
determining upon the free and unlimited
coinage of silver for the ISLANDS. 1t is de-
MED that their proposition is for unlimited
coinage, but as the only limitation estao-
nshed is the lack of demand for the money
It can be seen that this will not restrict
the outnut to any appreciable extent.
Eliminates silver Question.
The shrewdness Of this action Is found
in the fact that it will eliminate the Sill
