Decency on the Increase

Jenkin Lloyd Jones goes South
every year and notes the improved
conditions in many OF the South
ern cities since the people have
banished the saloon. In a recent
article discussing the old assertion
of the liquor men that prohibition
does not prohibit, Mr.. Jones says:

there is a mighty change, in ap-
pearances, at least. | walked the
streets of Savannah, q city of

see any signs of the .old-time de-
bauchery or the ruf1ianism of old
regime. The shameful list of
DRINKS and the attendant shoot
ings and assassinations which ap-
peared in the daily papers ere not
now to be found. The saloon as a
center of debauchery, coarseness
and brawls is gone. In my weeks
stay, in the city l saw about two
drunken men, both of them mani
testify gentlemen Of the highest
order. The saloon as a center OF
degradation is gone. The Mis-
eissippi River, under the sanction
of the United States Government,
still carries on the humiliatine
trade. The passenger boat is Q

it takes on customers who, once In

to us that The Eagle has mistaken
conception of the proposition or COZ
onel VOTERS. His opponents proposed
two primaries and he sees no special
reason why one primary is not SUM-
Gent for the nomination of senator
the same as it is for the governorshlp
and other state Offices" An elimina-
ton primary is necessary only wheh
there are three or more candidates Tor
the same office. There are only TWO
candidates for governor. Colonel Woi-
ters proposition was that the pluraHIy
candidate in the July primary be given
a clear track, which would be tanta-
mount to leaving legislators no alter

is mere bubble. There is no get
ting around the fact that Colonel VOL
