Men, whose boast 1t Is that We
Came of fathers brave and free,
II there breathe on earth a slave,
Are We truly free and brave?
II We do not feel the chain
When It works a brothers pain,
Are ye not base slaves indeed,
Slaves unworthy to be freed?
Women. who shall one day bear
Sons to breathe New England air,
If We hear without q blush
Like red lava through your veins
For your sisters now In chains,
Answer are We fit to be
Mothers Of the brave and free?
Is true freedom but to break
Fetters for their own dear sake
And with leathern hearts forget
That we owe mankind a debt?
No! True freedom Is to share
All the chains our brothers wear
And with heart and hand to be
Earnest to make others free!
'~hey are slaves who dare not speak
For the fallen and the weak.
Hatred, scoff1ng and abuse,
They are slaves who dare not choose
Rather than in silence shrink
From the truth they needs must think.
They are slaves who dare not be
In the right with two or three.

DID NOT REpUD1ATE PROHIBITION
Atlanta's Chamber of Commerce Denies Re-
ported Action Against Georgia's
New Law

ATLANTA Ga, June 1O-(Special correspond
ence)-Some of the daily papers and the liquor
papers have been publishing what purports to
be a statement denouncing the Prohibition law
adopted by the Chamber of Commerce of this
city. 1t is sufficient to say that the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce has adopted any
statement Of any kind, denouncing or even criti-
Ching Prohibition law. This assertion is vouched
for by Mr. Walter G. Cooper the secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce, in statement pub
published in the Atlanta Georgian.
The stuff published by the liquor papers is
similar in character to a denunciatory resolution
adopted by the Chamber of Commerce of the city
of Savannah a body which is practically con-
troled by one of the brewers who finds his bust
ness seriously embarrassed by the prohbitory law.

thought it necessary do this has remained for these
reformers and agtators of the day discover
the evil and to raise cry against it?
One large result of the meeting probably the
only very important resut-was the raising of
huge fund to fight Prohibition. Two years ago
the brewers in convention decided to levy an
assessment of two cents on each barrel of beer
produced by the associations members, but only
one cent of the tax on each barrel has been
called in. This convention decided to call for
the remaining cent on each barrel at once, and
this will make available, long before election,
almost quarter of million dollars to circulate
the pro-beer falsehoods.

DECATUR "HARD HIT"
Drunk Crop of Illinois No-License Town
Almost Ruined

DECATUR, ILL, June s.-(Special CORE
spondence) y With yesterday the city of De-
catur closed its first month of experience with
local Prohibition, the no-license law having
gone into effect on May 8. A part of the re-
suits appears in the fact that, although during
the same month of 1907 there were SIXTY four
arrests for drunkenness in this city, during the
month that has just passed there were but thir
teen, fraction over one-ffth of the number
of last year.
Added to this is the fact that while there
were seventeen arrests for disorderly conduct
and disturbing the peace from May to June
of 1907, there have been but seven such arrests
during the same time in the present year.

The streets in front of the barrooms are no

Our county criminal court tried every case on

there were only 147 arrests for drunkenness. Yet

not prohibit.

the surrounding country is equally as noticeable

Our people in the city and throughout Btu
combe county are delighted with the results of
Prohibition and would not return to the old
saloon condition for any consideration whatever.
Our saloons went out of business on the first of
January of this year, and I can safely say that
business has improved in almost every line in
which the people of this section are engaged.
Of course we have no saloons and the liquor
men say: Everything is awful dull in Ashe-
ville.' The liquor told us that if we closed
the saloons we would kill the town and drive the
hotel men out of business but the contrary has
been the effect. Our business in Asheville
generally more prosperous than ever before.
Our banks have weathered the storm of the
worst panic in years. We have had fewer
camille failures than any whisky town of the
same size in the country.
Our hotels and boarding houses have had the
most prosperous season they have had for years,
and Our travel has been phenomenally large.
There is great deal of building and general
improvement going on, and there no vacant
houses to amount to anything in the city. Bat
terry Park Hotel, the largest in the city, and the
one most extensively patronzed by tourists, who,
by the way, the liquor men told, would quit
coming to Ashevie if we took the barroom from
Battery Park Hotel, has had decidedly the best
spring season for five or six years.
Real estate has advanced and is active

SANTA BARBARA rs GAY.
City Blossoms Out in Honor OF the
Coming OF the Fleet.

Santa Barbara, CAL, April 25.--
Santa Barbara blossomed out into
veritable sea Of gay colors this
morning, with flags, bunting and
flowers lining every important street
and the stars and stripes floating
from nearly every building. For this
is the day of days in Santa Barbara
marking the arrival Of the great ar
mada of battleships that is now
steamlng northward through the blue
waters of the Pacific to the enthusi-
astlc welcome that awaits 1t here this
evening.
For many months the preparations
for the entertainment Of the sailors
Of the fleet have been going forward
and, now that the great day Is at
hand, everything is in readiness for a
happy elimination of the anxious
planning and heroic endeavors Of past
days.
A crowd of joyous visitors such as
has never before gathered on the
streets OF this little city is on hand
and every passing hour adds to the
happy thrsngs that will give a tu-
multuous greeting to the ships of the
mighty fleet when they anchor off
Santa Barbara this afternoon.
The local committees have spared
no expense in making the stay of
the officers and sailors here one of the
most pleasant of the entire voyage,
and hetWapn now and next Thursday
when the ships will resume the north
ward journey, many thousands Of
dollars will be expended in providing
entertainments for the tars.
What Santa Barbara lacks in size,
1t makes up In enthusiasm, and 1t is
entirely likely that the sea-fighters
will look back upon their visit to
Santa Barbara as one of the notable
experiences OF the long cruise.
