A series of letters written for Col
lier's Weekly by a man of science, a
physician, contained statements like
these: Alcohol is a poison" cit
is claimed by some that alcohol is
a food. If so, it is poisonous
food" =
The regular use of alcohol even
in moderation often leads to chronic
alcoholism.
Alcohol is one of the most COM
mon causes of paralysis, insanity,
epilepsy, dropsy and tuberculosis"
From Bishop Gamblers article,
THE Unavoidable Principle of Pro-
hibition," in the Atlanta Journal of
Sunday, January ), we quote the fol-
lowing:
The cry of prohibition does not
prohibit is the voice of anarchy by
which the Liquor traffic tells the
state that it will nullify laws mimi
cal to it's interests. That kind of
thing cannot be tolerated in this
country unless the people are will
ing to allow the liquor interests to.
dictate the statutes by which they
are controlled.
But the most ridiculous of all
proposals is that of the governor of
Alabama, who would create a sort
of aristocracy among intoxicants
that the law would allow, while all
lower grades would be outlawed.
Such prohibition would depend upon
the whims of the official tasters or
the DEGREES of the official analysts.
We want no such prohibition in
Georgia, and it may be doubted if
the people of Alabama desire such
prohibition.
We in Georgia may take warning
from what is going on in Alabama.
The brewers and distillers are fight
ing prohibition by states. If they
can win in one state tn victory will
help them in the next common
wealth. They will clamor for local
option in order to get statutory pro-
hibitiOn repealed, and if they can
procure local option they will fight
for open saloons in every locality
where there is a ghost of a chance
for them to win. What they want
is to sell liquor wherever they can

they could, every Sunday law, every
law forbidding the sale of liquor on
election days, every statute protect
ing churches and school houses from
the invasion of the saloons, and all
laws against the sale of liquors to
minors. Give them an inch and they
will take an ell. 1t is well. therefore.
10 give them to understand that the
principle of prohibition is unavoida-
BILE, and that in it's enforcement we
do not propose 10 go backward, but
to go forward"

THE GREATEST OF DAMS.
United States and Mexico Will Have
One That'H Float $4,000 Acres.

Active operations have begun on
the building of the Eagle Dam in
the canyon of the Rio Grande about
100 miles north of Ell Paso. When
this work is completed it is declared
by the reclamation service the con-
troyersy between the United States
and Mexico and between Texas and
Mexico over the right to the use of
the water of the Rio Grande will be
settled forever.
This dam, it is said, will create
the largest storage reservoir in the
world. 1t will have a capacity of
2,53S,O00 acre feet of water. which
will flood $4,000 acres an average
of 81 feet in depth.
The structure will be 265 feet in
height and 1,4O0 feet long on TOP.
The lands in the project, which will
be served by this dam amount tn

ROOSEVELT AND LORNIER.

From the Savannah News.
1t will be interesting to hear what
Col. Roosevelt has to say about the
outcome Of the Lorimer case now
that the senate has said that Lorimer
isn't guilty of the charge brought
against him. 1t will be recalled that
last summer Col. Roosevelt refused
to sit at table with him on the occa-
sion of banquet given by the Ham
iltOn Club Of Chicago in honor of
the former, Col. Roosevelt believed
that Senator Lorimer was guiltR Of
bribing his way into the United
States senate, and hence declined to
be brought into contact with him So
cially. There is ground for think
ing that some of the senator's who
were against Senator LCrimer in his
fight for his seat were influenced to

GAMBLING IN CITIES.
Misery and Crime the Story of Ev-
cry Place Where 1t Is.

cry Place Where 1t Is.
One need not be a jurist to see
the awfulness of the effects of gam
bling upon the individual. The
gaming table must have been turned
out by the workshops of the lowest
depths of perdition. 1t has not a
single redeeming feature. 1t curses
it's victim with whitening, bIighting
blast as if from the seyenfold-heated
furnaces of Inferno.
1t is a hard vice to deal with, be-
cause in the Adam-nature of men
there turks a disposition to gamble
in some way. So long as this pro-
pensity is trained in the right direc-
ton it is beneficial. The man who
CANDLES with circumstances, who
takes chances in life along legiti-
mate lines, has this gambling i'm
pulse refined to a nicely. But the
low-down, lust-fOr-gain gambling,
such as obtains in the hell-hallB of
the cities, is one Of the most horrible
scourges that a good God permits to
afiiiCt the moral world
San Francisco, it seems, has been
honeycOmbed with dens of gambling.
The police have been conveniently
blind to their existence. But a trag-
edy in a gambling hall opened the
eyes Of the public and is forcing the
police to see things also.
1t would not be quite so bad if
this vice could be restricted to those
confirmed habitues of the gaming
table, to whom gambling is as daily
nutriment. But the greed of the
game demands the innocent victim
the neOphyte. When the innocent
one has been led like a sheep to the
slaughter he may be demoralized
beyond redemption He may be be-
guiled by the alluEements of the
profession into becoming an habftu-
al gambler. Or he may be so dis
couraged and embittered that he
will take his own life. Misery and
crime and hollow, mocking cruelty
follow in the wake of gambling. 1t
is vice of "such frightful mien as
to be hated needs but to be seen. )"
Every honorable man should dis
courage it, combat il, in every way

AN AID TO SLEEP.
A Woman Furnishes the Key by
Which 1t May Be Secured.


Which 1t May Be Secured.
Mrs. Selma Lewis in an address
before the Health and Longevity
Club of New York, says of obtaining
sleep:
IF a woman wants to be beauti-
full she must sleep sweetly. This is
secured by mental concentration.
More explicitly it is done by taking
into your mind thought of a beau
tltul park, with lawns, trees and lust
enough birds; add a waterfall to help
the music of the birds, and then
make yourself see some people SIT
ting in a little boat softly splashing
along in most any direction and you
nave got the sweetest sleep coming
your way that you have had since
childhood. You can have yourself
lying in a hammock along with the
rest OF the scenery at no extra ex-
pense. Before the woman has fin
IShed building her picture she lis
sleeping sweetly. And then she
greets the new day with a smile.
even though the day be rainy and
the clouds depressing"

rect Mrs. Lewis had three of her
grown children appear on the plat
form and in less than a minute they
were snoring profoundly.

Legislating Too Much.

From the Triton Gazette.
Western farmers are beginning to
worry because they have discovered
that, under the Employers Liability
Law, if a careless laborer gets his
foot in moving machine or a green
hand is crippled by a kick from a
COW they will be liable for damages.
Probably when the. eight-hour law
is enforced on the farm we will be-
gin to realize that we are legislating
a little too much.

Comment on Current Topics

some extent in their course by their
friendship for Col. Roosevelt. The
action OF the senate is a condemna-
ton eof the course pursued by Col.
Roosevelt on the occasion of the Chi
cago banquet, and a vindicatiOn of
Senator Lorimer. The senate acted
after an investigation and Col.
Roosevelt acted before an investi-
cation. Senator LOrimer and his
friends therefore are in a position
to criticise severely the course pur-
sued by Col. Roosevelt.
