DRUNKENNESS AS A DISEASE.

Much wit was wasted last year upon
the proposal to limit the number of
times a man could get drunk in one
year without something happening to
him. Now it turns up again in the
shape of serious report upon which
the Board Of Estimate is asked to act,
outlining plan for the public treat
ment and cure of drunkenness as a
disease.
And why not? We have not been
so successful in dealing with this
scourage of humanity as to warrant
us in saying that some new plan may
not be better. We arrest the drunk
ard. We fine him, which is filming
his family; Or we lock him up a short
time, Furnishing them without curing
him. And the cost is enormous.
Under the proposed system first
offenders would be released without
appearing in court at all. Their fall
ing is the result of convivality, or
overestfmate of their powers, or mere
carelessness. A warning is in such
cases sufficient. But if the culprit ap-
pears in custody again and again,
the certainty grows that he is vic
tim Of diseased appetite. It is
cheaper for the community and bet
ter for him that he be cured than left
to continue the round between Island,
bar and police court until his weaken
ed frame succumbs. For such Of
tenders the new plan proposes an in
determinate sentence to a hospital
and Industrial colony.
If this system could be successfully
used, the city would save money and
many excellent men might be more
careful not to get drunk too Often

place as one of the foremost publica-
lions in the country.
It's Editor and Publisher, Elder J..
A. ScarborO, is a son of Georgia, has
had many years experience, travelled
the whole country and studied con-
ditions in the concrete. He talks
right to the point, and the way he is
digging up and exposing ecclesias-
teal graft in Plain Truth is instruc-
tive and refreshing. Not content to
merely write about 1T, he has intro
duced the picture feature, and is
showing by actual photographs how
mission boards collect mission funds
from poor churches and then use the
money to build fine churches and pay
their pastors in the towns and cities.
The May issue is hummer.
He promises to give his readers
some facts from foreign mission
fields during the year that will open
peoples eyes to conditions there, as
he has dug up the evidence ON the
other side of the question.

It is very evident that they are

I have always thought it was a
great mistake for the white man to
furnish negroes valuable lands and
high priced mules to farm with them,
when the rule was for the land owner
to have full control over both land
and mules. But now conditions are
much worse, when the negro has full
control over all. Of course there are
some few exceptions to the rule, but
in most cases the negro is having his
own way about things, willie the
white man is responsible for every
thing and is tamely submitting to the
situation.
The land owners seem to be now
pleased about existing conditions.
They must try and send their boys to
town for education, and the first
thing that enters the boys head is
baseball, and then shouts Of back to
