When the Fort Myers Press remarks
that Editor Matthews Of the Starke
Telegraph is opposed to the prohibition
constitutional amendment" Editor Ruhl
misses his guess. The editor Of this pa
per expects to vote for the constitutional
amendment. Twice a. member Of the
legislature he voted for the submission
OF the amendment to vote Of the peo-
pie. This need not, necessarily, have
committed him, acting In his individual
capacity, to vote for tho ratification OF
the amendment, but his conscience CON-
mits him to that course.

1t rather looks as il the publisher Of a
Tallahassee journal got himself in pref
ty deep, says the Miami Metropolis, from
the following, which appears in the Ma
tional Prohibltionist "Mr John @. Trice,
publisher of Florida, published at Talla-
hassee, Fla, announces his refusal to
support Ex-Gov Broward for the United
States Senatorship, on the ground that
he (Trice) has never written an article
nor published an advertisement that he
did not believe to be for the interests Of
the community in which he lived. This
he says is his religion. When one turns
over Mr.. Trice's paper and finds twelve
big whisky advertisements occupy 9
very large percentage Of its space, he is
inclined to feel that Mr.. Trice's religion
ought to be put in the museum"

PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA.

Georgia has beer held up as q fright
full example of the failure of statewide
prohibition. bat it seems that there are
some people IL that state who persist IL
seeing the matter i'll a different light
The Georgian, pubfshed in Atlanta, is
one Of the leading newspapers of the
state and II gives interesting testimony
on the other side of the question. The
following editorials from the Georgian
Last Saturday, July Both, the third
anniversary of the passage of Georgia S
statewide prohibition law was celeprat-
ed at Columbus by appropriate exercises
l.eld under the auspices or the Woman s
Christian Temperance Union of that
city.
The occasion was one of rejo' cling
both that tie law was on the statute
books aud that 1t had been productive of
vast good TO the state.
Similar celebrations will no doubt be-
come annual happenings in many parts
of the state, and such should be the case,
for the public mind is too apt TO forget
the struggle It cost TO get this legIsla-
ton.
Il forgets all too soon the interests
that were arrayed against 1t, how they
fought and what vibrant rallyiEg cries
were necessary to concentrate the forces
for il.
Public recollection of the conditions
prior TO the law also tend to grow dim
too quickly.
Forgetfulness Of the birth struggle of
the law tends to beget q lack of appre-
citation of it and of the good that it is
accomplishing day by day.
Anniversary reJeiclrg3 such asthose
that took place at Columbus will bring
it and its advantages back to public con-
s3iousness and will cause its friends to
9 wear renewed allegiance to it.
The law has not stopped drinking, but
it has lessened it, particularly the dis
orderly kind.
1t has not ended crime, but has pre-
vented lot of II.
And it has fed wives and children and
prevented many of them from becoming
widows and orphans.
In the aggregate il has added tremen-
dously TO the peace and quiet of the
state.
Economy, wealth and happiness have
10 ANe piOO
It is woItL celebrating.
Year after year will witness better en-
forcement of it, and from time to time,
as is re Iuired, it will be strengthened
and made more effective.
Bought with struggle. it must nee
-essarily be enforced with q struggle,
maintained with a struggle and perfect
ed with a struggle.
Notwithstanding some temporary set
backs, the prohibition sentiment is
spreading all over the nation.
A recent census report on the statistics
of cities for the year 1908 shows that
drinking places decreased by nearly s, 900
in three years.
This decrease" says the report,
twas not confined to any section of the
country, bat is apparent in every group
of states except in certain of the Rocky
Mountain states. The decrease has
been most marked In the cities of the
south Atlantic statee,"
Meaning so much. it is entirely befit- |
ting that the prohibition law be cherish
ed and defended.-The Georgian.

There seemed to be some disposit.o to drag the matter along, with baI one result in the end on the confirma- tion of Hughes, and coming ont op- enly, Senator Clarke espoused t!.e cause of Governor Hughes, saying he was one of the ablest men who could
 be appointed. The committee fol- lowed the suggestions Of Senator Clarke and the objection was soon cverthrown Senator Clarke could have been like some other Senators who have no diplomacy, and bucked -ust because it was Republican, making a monkey olt Of himself aaG accomplishing nothing but defeat in the end. Senator Clarke is a great big man and the national powers have begun to realize it..
