Mr.. j. E. Mercer,
Ed of The Enterprise,
My Dear Sir
Will you kindly publish this letter
in to-morrow'S paper, and thus en-
able me to say more effectively
than ! could from the pulpit some
things | wish to say
| was interested in the article
which appeared in Tuesdays En-
terprise concerning the effort now
on foot by the women of the city
to prevent near-beer saloons from
being licensed here next year.
The movement has my prayers.
But an experience of two and half
years of public life in this city has
taught me that more is needed here
to make this a clean city than the
labors and prayers of pastors and
women. 1t has also made me skep-
teal of the statement that every
good man in town is with them. |
have found that many "good" maR
needs his conscience awakened.
The women have the will, if they
had they had the power. The bust
ness men have the power. Why
will they not rise and use it in one
blow for decency?
| have absolutely no doubt (nOr
do | stand alone in the opinioD that
ten leading business men in this
city could close every near-beer
saloon tight tomorrow night, and
keep them so, if they would. | even
venture to say that if representa-
tives from the four banks of the
city will appear in a body before
the next council and say, we, as
representatives of the business in
terests of this city, are tired of these
dens of iniquity, and we want them
to CO., a near-beer saloon wouldn't
be able to get license in Fitzgerald
next year at any price
1t is a financial consideration
that keeps the near-beer salaons in
FITZGERALD. | do not believe that
the men who could remove them
want them as a means of gratifying
personal appetite, with possibly few
exceptions. | believe they are alive
to the evil. But conscience has not
yet been sufficiently awakened to
overcome the love of the dollar.
Our city council prides itself upon
its business" administration. Per-
sonally, | think it ought to be hearth
ly ashamed of it. The street rail-
way franchise; the telephone fran
chise; the licensing of the near-beer
saloons; the bringing OF the carnival;
to say nothing of the vaccination
hum-bug, are sufficient to cause
every member who voted for these
things to forever hide his head in
shame, and retire to private life,
But these are the men with whom
we have to deal. Some changes in
the council will not greatly affect
| it's attitude on the question of near
beer saloons another year. We had
them saddled upon us in 1910. and
we shall have them in 1911 unless
the leading business men stand upon
their feet and say to the council.
The moral question outweighs every
financial consideration Clean these
places out" We shall then 90 by
leaps and bounds toward an ideal
city.
In the name of all that is sacred
to our better natures, how long will
it be ere this come to pass? It will
be travesty on the good profess
sions of the men if they allow the
women to put forth this effort and
fail. ] earnestly hope they will do
something effective for morality and
decency next Monday night.
Sincerely,
E. j. HAMMOND,
Pastor First M. f. Church.

STOvA|AE is NOW CONDEMNED
FUSEL OIL is BASIS OF NEW
ANAESTHETIc.
Physician Asserts This Drug VIII
Cause Mortality of 2 Per
Cent.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-The basis of sto.
vaine, the alleged anaesthetic, brought
to the notice of the world by DR.. JON
nesco, is fusel OIL Fusel oil is the poi
son found in new made whisky To
get rid of this poison from whisky it
is aged" and it is job of years to
get rid of the dangerous element.
The fusel oil statement was made by
DR.. E. C. Dudley, who asserted the an.
aesthetic is more dangerous than chic
reform and ether. Stovaine, in his
opinion, will produce mortality of 2
per cent.
Il hesitate in matters of this kind
to make public statement" said the
physician, but in view of the wide
notoriety given DR.. Jonnesco and the
drug and the harm that l believe will
come from it's use, l feel something
should be said at this time.
Three Dangerous Reasons.
Like all drugs injected into the
spinal cavity, it is dangerous. There
are three reasons:
FlISl--lI ID dangerous Ill llSeli, IKE
cocaine.
"Second-lt is dangerous because
of the region to which it is applied
There is a possibility that something
infectious may be carried in.
''Third-That region is full of blood
vessels, one of which may be broken
causing hemorrhage in the spinal
cavity. This would produce apoplexy
just as would the bursting of blood
vessel in the brain.
There is only one death in many
thousands from chloroform and ether
whereas the deaths from stovaine are
and would be much greater.
"Dr. Jonnesco does not deny tina
stovaine is dangerous. He says, how
ever, that with the addition of strych
nine the danger is minimized. I doub
if there is much value in this If sto
vaine is allowed to go unchallenged
believe it will cause a great man,
more deaths than other anaestetics

PAuLHAN's GREAT FLIGHT.
Prize Of $4,000 Will Probably Go to
the Frenchman.

Los Angeles, Jan. 19-Louis Pau,.
han. in his Farman biplane, made
what aviation experts here consider
the most remarkable cross-country
flight in history
On the wings of wind that other
av1ators hestitated to face, the little
Frenchman rode from Aviation Field
to Lucky Baldwin's ranch, 90 miles
away, circled the old Santa Anita race
track and bucked his way to his tent
In all he covered an estimated dis
lance of 471a miles in one hour, two
minutes AZ 3-5 seconds. He went
down with the wind in 80 minutes and
When he climbed out of his car he
said that his motor was as cool as
when he started and that he could do
the trip over again at once.
Prize Probably Won.
President Cortlandt F. Bishop of
the Aero club of America, said last
night that he did not know of any
flight to equal Paulhan's. 1t is prob
able that the prize of $4,000 will go
to him There will be much official
pondering and cabling, however, be,
fore a New World record is added to
the glory Of France.
Paulhan maintained an altitude OF
from 1000 to 1000 feet on his way
over the valley. His highest point
was 2,130 feet, as indicated by the
instrument in his car.
When Paulhan reached the grand
stand on his return, he was mobbed
The crowd broke through the barriers
The aviator was lifted up and borne
over the field. His countrymen kissed
him and wept in joy.
