THE SUCCESS IN GEORGIA

The news which comes from Georgia con-
corning the success attending the Inaugural
ton of the Prohibition regime in that state,
and the remarkable results which are shown
in the diminution of crime, the emptying
of the jails and the disuse of the courts, can
hardly fail to impress any intelligent reader
What Georgia is experiencing, and vastly
more-for Georgia has just begun-any state
can have by merely getting rid Of the liquor
traffic It is, however, to the selfish advan-
tage Of a small percentage of the population
to keep the liquor traffic in existence; and
we let that handful Of our basest and our
worst rule us with rod of iron, hoodwink
US. defraud us, befool us year after year.
Is it not time for a tremendous arousing
of the manhood of American citizenship in
behalf of our rights?
The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-01-16
DRINK AND TUBERCULOSIS

A magnificent work is being done in be-
half of the public health by the medical
men and public spirited citizens who are as
ISOLATED in an effort to check the spread of
that dread disease, tuberculosis, which has
been so properly called "the great white
DEATH" It is almost impossible to esti-
mate the frightful toll which the American
people annually pay to that disease, and
anything that makes toward its checking
and promises the possibility of its complete
eradiction even at some day in the distant
future, is to be hailed with hope and de-
serves the help Of every citizen.
But the well-informed student of affairs
who notes the literature which is being wide
'ly circulated by the organizations which are
undertaking this work, can hardly fail to
be surprised at the fact that that cause of
tuberculosis, which, by all the great students
of that disease in Europe, is recognized to
stand in the forefront, has thus far been
practically, if not wholly, ignored. We have
read with much care most, if not all, of the
literature sent out by the Charities Aid
Association of New York and we have yet
to find the remotest reference to the infu-
ence Of alcoholic drink upon the spread OF
tuberculosis.

A WIDE" AND THIN REPORT

One Of those very bright Washington news
paper men who turn out, now pro-canteen
falsehoods, and, again, strange and curious
information concerning the Prohibition
movement, and always on the Democratic
platform "for revenue only" is telling the
country through various daily papers in
which his matter appears, that there is a
widespread belief that possibly no national
Prohibition ticket will be placed in the field
this year"
We are happy to inform the Washington
newspaper man and any other parties who
may be interested, that, if there is any such
widespread belief" it has been spread 50
widely as to become too thin to be noticed
among Prohibitionists The probability that
the Prohibition party will fail to nominate
candidate for the Presidency in 1908 is

The action Of the Illinois public school
teachers who have passed resolutions de-
handing a change in the system of teaching
hygiene and physiology, in relation to alco-
holic liquors, in the schools of this state, GER
tainly deserves to be looked upon with sus-
picion. The laws which have been passed
upon that subject have endured much criti-
cism, but there has never been any good
ground to believe that they we're not proper
laws and that their enforcement would not
be beneficial Both in Illinois and in other
states, however, there has been marked dis
position upon the part of teachers, and par
ticularly upon the part Of public school off
Gals, to ignore the law. In New York, for
example, the official head of the educational
system went up and down the state for years,
publicly advising the school teachers to dis
