SOME THINGS THAT MAY BE
HARMFUL.

Some people declaim, no doubt
sincerely and with good reason,
against the use of lager beer as a
beverage There can be no question
about there being such a thing as
imbibing more beer than one ought
to, and the association that often
results from drinking beer is of quite
questionable value. We would not
advise any man to drink the brew
of malt and hops. 1t is a response
bility men must assume for them
selves.
But oftentimes, when one sees
men, women and children thronging
at soda fountains and quaffing to re-
pletion some of the drinks of the
modern fountain that may or may
not be "doped and It is said
many of them are-one wonders why
there isn't any crusade against them,
too, and if exhibits and object les
sons are not needed to warn the
guileless public of the dangers of
an unknown beverage as much so as
against other baneful things. Physi-
clans and chemists, in fact no less
an authority than the pure food in
spector for the state of Georgia, who
was in Dawson a few days ago, say
that dope (to use a free term)
enters largely into the makeup of
some very popular soda fountain
beverages, and that men and women
risk the danger of becoming topers,
or having their health under
mined, on beverages as detrimental
as beer-if not more so, for while
beer carries alcohol it is at least free
of narcotics. This world needs a lot
of education.

THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST
TUBERCULOSIS.

The articles that appear in The
News from time to time pertaining
to tuberculosis and remedial meas
ures are well worth the careful con-
sideration of our readers. These ar
ticIes are prepared for this paper by
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis, with its headquarters in New
York city. In its list of members are
physicians of eminence and citizens
of high standing, many of them we'll
known public men, from various
states of the nation. The work is es-
sentially intelligent, publc-spirited
and unselfsh. The sole aim of the
movement is expressed in the name
of the organization-to study and
devise measures for the prevention
of the justly dreaded disease.
tuberculosis has reached proper
tons of appalling nature, and it is
only by education of the people that
it can be fought and overcome. Nat
urally the press of the land is a po-
tent agency in placing information
and appeals before the people, and
that is why The News and so many
other papers print the matter re-
ferred to. None of the papers are
paid nor expect or desire pay for
printing the educational and admon-
itory articles. The work is purely
pro bono publico and The News
again ventures the hope that its read
ers will give the matter, whenever it.
appears, the careful consideration it
deserves.
An earnest campaign of intelli-
gence should make tuberculosis only
a memory in this country inside of
thirty years.

"AFOOT TO THE CAPITOL,

The Dalton Citizen, which was one
of the most rampant of the anti
Brown papers during the campaign
heartily commends the governor-to.
be on the announcement that his in.
auguration will be marked by demo
cratic simplicity, and free from the
display and big doings of some form.
er occasions of the kind. Says the
Citizen.
We must confess our admira-
ton for GovernOr-Elect Brown
in declaring that he will have no
hollow ceremonials and empty
jinglingS, no 'tinkling cymbals
and sounding BRASS" at his in
auguTatiOn in June. His is to
be a programme of JeffersOnian
simplicity and let us predict,
out of desire born of hope, that
his administration will be along
the lines of pure Jeffersonian
democracy.
1t was Thomas Jefferson (to
our way of thinking the great
est of all presidents) who rode
up Pennsylvania avenue to the
capitol on horseback Tor mule
back, no matter which, and took
the oath Of office. There was no
glare, glamOr or glitter. 1t was
the simple Inauguration Of a
simple man to the highest office
within the gift of the people.
1t seems we have fallen on evil
days, and the excuse for it is
that the occasion must be equal
in obnoxious formalities and full
limitations to the dignity and i'm
pOrtance of the office the vic
tim is to be indicted into. The
greater the responsibility of the
office the louder the blast of
trumpets. We need reform
along this line, and we are glad
to note in passing the efforts of
GOvernor-Elect Brown to rid
this state of the silly aping of
European royalty.
Dignitied simplicity and COM
mon sense, purely American at
tributes and ideals, is good
enough for us.
Bon voyage to you, Governor
Brown, as you go afOot to the
capitol to receive the finishing
touches on your commission
from the people.

Many people do not realize the in
jury they do themselves, as well as
others, by patronizing the mail order
houses, or sending to the big cities
for their goods. Along the line of
buying at home the Savannah Press
makes these pertinent observations:
Everything that tends to cut
down the trade of the merchants de-
presses rents, Injuries investments,
and generally holds back your town.
1t may not come to you right off, but
such an alien policy will be felt by
everybody in the end. The business
man pays his taxes, buys his goods,
employs his statesmen and pays his
rent. He deeerves to be patronized.
He is doing more than his share of
keeping the town going and helping
it along. Nine times out of ten he
has what you want. If he does not
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1909-02-03
SHOP Nv YOUR HOME TOWN.

keep it he can get it more cheaply
than you can because he knows
where to buy, how to order, and he
gets the discount given to the trade.
He will save you freight or express
charges. While you are filling your
own order more satisfactorily you are
helping the merchant and helping the
town.
IF you are the owners of houses,
if you have a vacant lot waiting to
be built up, if you own land around
the city which you hope one day to
see valuable, if you own business
houses which you want to see filled
with enterprising and successful mer-
chants then you will discourage this
narrow policy of shopping away from
home. 1t shows the very best bust
ness sense. 1t ignores the men you
want to see prosper, whom it is to
your interest to help"

THE ELECTION OF JUDGES.

An effort is being made in some
quarters to create a sentiment favor
able to changing the election of SUI
perior court judges and solicitors
general by the people to appointment
by the governor. The present meth
Cd of choosing these officials may be
in some respects Objectionable and
far from ideal, but it is much prefer
able to the one that is proposed. We
do not believe the people of Georgia
are ready to place this tremendous
patronage in the hands of any one
man. With it he could build up the
most powerful political machine any
state has ever known. 1t would be
invincible 1t would dominate the
politics of the whole state, and name
(from it's inner charmed circle) the
men for all important Offices.
Mr.. Irwin, the senator-elect for
this district, has stated to The News
that it is his intention to introduce
at the coming session of the general
assembly a bill providing for the Sc
lection of judges and solicitors
general by some other than the pres
ent method, which is conceded to
have Objectionable features, but it is
safe to say that in seeking to correct
them he will not make bad matters
worse
But whatever may be done-what-
ever change, if any, is made-it will
have to come in the shape of con-
stitutional amendment, and be sub
mitted to vote of the people. And
the people are Jealous of their rights.

If your children do not find at

evil for good, not from choice but
from ignorance. Teach them to

MUST BE A MISTAKE.

What is this we hear about the
states till being empty again?
The Atlanta Journal of Friday
said it was reported around the cap
itol that the payment to the old sol
diers and the widows of veterans all
of their pension money at one time
last week, which had always been
done until a year ago, '1eaves the
treasury in a less satisfactory condi-
ton during the present year than it
was during 1905" and also that "ru-
NOR has it that the teachers will not
be able to get their money as prompt
ly as they did last year" 1t was only
very short while ago that we read
in The Journal glowing accounts of
the unusually fine financial condition
of the state, and how the treasury
was brimful of dollars and fairly
bullying at the sides with them. We
must believe, from all that it told
us then, that the present alarm of
our contemporary is unwarranted.
