The Atlanta Constitution credits Congress
man Richmond Pearson Hobsou with having
made recently the strongest appeal for total
abstinence and prohibition ever heard in At
ianta and says his lecture was based upon
scientific facts and figures which are. incontro-
yertible.
Mr.. Hobsou some years ago recognized that

sources in an examination, upon a strictly sci

human system and of the influence Of the IL
auor traffic upon civilization. Hen covered III
his Investigations not only his own country.
but the continent OF Europe well, and he
emerged from his study an unqualified total
abstainer and an ardent and active supporter
OF prohibition.
To hear Mr. Hobson speak--and have
heard his mastery presentation OF this cause
is to be convinced, He presupposes that ma
lions strength depends upon the average ex-
cellence and efficiency of its individuals, From
this starting point he demonstrates by seien-
