A Remarkable
Sermon on Temperance.

In the opinion of Judge Ben Hill of
Atlanta, presiding judge of the court
of appeals. after am experience of five
years, -fourths of the crimes are
due directly or indirectly to the ex-
cessive use of intoxicants.
In many ways Judge Hilrs opinion
in the case of Will Langston VS.. the
State, from Cherokee county, is one of
the most remarkable sermons on tenn
perance ever delivered.
The physical facts in the case are
these. The elder Langston came home
one night drunk and in an ugly humor.
He began abusing his wife, i'll in bed.
and was about to offer her physical
harm. Will Langston, his 19-year- old
son, engaged his father in a fight.
The elder Langston used chair and
a knife, both apparently with the
same effect. The son then seized a
rock, used to prop open door, and
hurled it at his father, "Goliah-like, >
the opinion AYERS. The stone struck
the old man in the head, administer
ing a wound which ultimately re-
suited in death.
VIII Langston was convicted -~of
granddaughter, but appealed his case
on the self defense theory. The appel
late court affirms this decision, appar-
emily with some reluctance, because
the convicted man invited and rushed
to combat. But it is in delivering this
opinion that Judge Hill renders his
remarkable sermon on temperance:
The facts of this case present an
other of the daily occurring instances
showing the monstrous and measure
less evil of intoxicating liquors. This
hydra headed and remorseless mon
ster, with ceaseless and tireless en-
ergy, wastes the substance of the poor
manufactures burdensome taxes for tbs
public, monopoliZes the valuable time
of courts, fills jails, penitentiaries and
ssylums, ruins homes, destroys man
hood, terrorizes helpless women and
innocent children, battles the church
and mocks the law, and answering its
memorable demands, each new morr
new widows mourn, new orphans
cry, new wrongs strike heaven in ths
face
These are the products of a curse
imposed not by the decree of God, but
self-infiicted by the voluntary conduc'
of man, its weak and wicked victim
Judges of criminal courts, speakinl
from Official experience, have grown
weary calling attention to the drinl
habit as the principal cause of crime
and nothing the writer could sa.
would add to this manifest truth. Blu

MOVEMENT INAUGURATED IN
NEW ORLEANS EAS SPREAD
AND RESULTS WILL BE OBJ
TANNED AND POLICY CHANGED.

The Pacific coast has now lined up
in the fight against the new policy
of Secretary Mayer of the navy de-
partment, and it is expected that now
the movement has spread until 1t IN
cludes both the south and west, some
results in obtaining a change in this
policy will be brought about before
congress convenes. The following ar
ticles on this subject are taken from
the Army and Navy Journal:
THE movement inaugurated at New
Orleans recently to oppose naval ap,,
preparations in congress until local
needs were considered seems to have
spread to the Pacific slope, for steps
have been taken In the state OF Wash
ington to bring about action by the
coast representatives in congress look
ing to opposition to the building of
another battleship until the PACING
section has received consideration and
money is appropriated for a third dry
dock at the Puget Sound yard. Con-
gresham w. E. Humphrey notified
the secretary of the navy to this eff
feet, and Secretary Meyer has replied
promising to recommend an appro-
priation for the building Of a 1000
foot drydock at this yard. If a third
drydock is started at thisIyard next
year the government can be saved the
sum of $250,000 by the fact that the
contractor Of drydock No. 2has all his
equipment now on the grounds and
can afford to make a bid8wtth that
reduction.
The recent assembling Of the At
1antic fleet at Few York made more
conspicuous to he people of the west
coast the small number of war vessels
on the Pacific, aud the comparison has
brought out many newspaper edi-

GUARD AGAINST MONOPOLY
TO SIMPLIFY THE SERVICE

Development of the coal fields, both in
Alaska and the United States. with due
adherence to the principles of conserva-
tion," is strongly urged by Commissioner
bennett Of the general land office. in his
annual report to the Secretary of the
Interior. Just made public. He wants
the coal delivered to the bins of the ul-
innate consumer at the cheapest pos
sible price. but at the same time wants
legislation which would prevent the
fields falling into the hands of the mo-
nopolies.
ut Is Imperative" he said, that new
legislation be passed covering the dis
position Of coal lands in Alaska and in
the United States. The inadequacy OF
the present laws is universally conceded.
This proposition. therefore. needs no
argument.
Progress Is Retarded.
THE progress Of advancement in the
west is being retarded under present
conditions by the difficulty in the sue
cessful opening of new mines under leg
islation as it exists today. Competition
has been checked. The consumer is
having to pay, therefore. greater
price than it would be reasonable to
expect he would hive to pay II 1t
were possible to open new mines under
legislation which would encourage the
development Of this resource.
'Legislation, however. which would
not retain in the United States the right
Of supervision over the marketing Of the
product would be a mistake" he con-
tinues ITO throw this resource open SO
that the coal deposits would ultimately
pass into the hands of the monopolies
and trusts would be to render the condi-
tons worse than they are at present
Congress. therefore. should carefully
guard the enactment OF legislation and
tanned in the United States, or that a
combination for the purposes OF unjust
ly advancing prices can be checked
through government supervision"
Consolidation Of Positions.
The abolition Of the positions Of regis
ter and receiver in the local land Offices
and the creation Of one position in lieu
of the tive is recommended. This
course, he says, would result in consid-
cradle saving as we'll as better admins
tration. Under the present system both
officers are responsible for the work of
the Office.
The substitution Of a bonded clerk for
with the difference between his proposed
salary and the salary now paid to re-
ceivers would amount In a saving to the
government of about $50, 900. according
to the report.

the amount of work performed during the
