Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1912-10-22

LONDON, Oct. 19-When King George
occupied the kings rooms" at Trinity
college. Cambridge, he slept in the
apartment which was used sixty-five
years ago by his illustrious grandmother,
who accompanied the prince consort to
the university to witness his installa-
tior as its chancellor. Her majesty was
brimful of enthusiasm about this func-
ton in honor of her adored husband,
and looked at everything in the place
through rose-colored glasses. Cam
bridge looks beautiful in summer" (she
wrote in her Diary. and with all its
gardens so green, and the flowers in
the windows of the colleges, has a
very fine effect" Although the two days
spent there We're crammed with public
functions. she managed to pass leisure
hour or two in the beautiful drawing
room of the kings rooms, where, she
records, Il wrote and worked-such a

1t is the way of a cert"in type of
man of the world to account the
temperance question as a matter of
concern TO fanatics" and women
only. and wholly unworthy his con-
sideration. In this his way is his
folly.
Considered only as an economic
question the use of intoXicants raises
an issue Of stupendous Importance.
The drink bill of the people Of the
United States amounts to little
more than $4,000, 100000 year.
When the Federal Congress appro-
priated for the first time the sum of
100000. 900, the fact provoked
much adverse comment, and the Con-
gress was censured as "the billion
dollar Congress-. But the bar-keeP-
ers of the United States gather an
nually more than twice as much
from the people. and il is considered
a very light matter!
Our national drink bill would pay
our national debt i'm less than one
year. But what is actually consum-
ed i'm drink does not measure the en-
tire loss. We must reckon also the
loss of industry and the products of
industry which the use of intoXicat-
ing liquors entails. We must take
into account also the fearful conse-
uuences of intemperance in tile pro-
duction Of pauperism, insanity ana
crime,-all of which lay heavy bur-
dens upon the nation.
The reports of the Department of
Agriculture for last year show that
sixty-per cent of the corn produced
in this country during the year was
used in producing fermented
liquors, which left only forty per
cent for feeding men and live stock.
Is there any wonder in the high cost
of living, when such a showing is
made? Cheap beer makes high beef
The Interna ton Hygiene Con-
gress, which held last week in Wash

sion-the first ever held in America
is not a body of fanatics; it is
body of cool-headed scientists. Yet
at its session there were brought
forth some startling facts about the
use of alcoholics and their relation
TO health and economies Among
other things a carefully prepared
chart was exhibited showing the eX-
penditure for drink in New York
City in comparison with the incomes
of the wage-earners there. 1t show
ed that families with an income Of
1851 a year. spend on an average
annually $S.S2 for intoXicants; those
with an income of S546 spend 1884;
and those with an income of S63S
spend for drink $21.0S. After Civ
ing these and other striking figures,
the chart says. CAS- whole the fam
lilies studied could add at least one
room to their over-crowded houses ii
the money spent for intoXicants were
devoted to rent. 1t is liquor then
that has much to do with budding
helpless women and children into
unsanitary and comfortless quarters
Rum makes the slum.
1t was also shown that siXty-six
and one half per cent of the crimes
IN New York are committed in sa-
looms and that more than fifty per
cent of the remainder are committed
under the influence of drink or can
be traced more or less directly to the
use of intoxicants.
Another chart showed that a major
ity of all the cases of insanity in the
United States can be traced to al
coholics. and that the cost to the
nation annually for caring for the
insane is Sc, 332, 307. OF some thirty
thousand prisoners committed to

jails in New York State last year,
ninety-five per cent were drinkers.
On another chart it was set out that
twenty-five per cent of the pauper-
ism and forty-six per cent of the
cases of child neglect in the United
States were traceable to intemper-
ance. over forty per cent of all acct
dents were attributable to intoXica-
ton.
No observing man is surprised. or
doubts for moment the correct
ness of these statements; they are
just what we would expect as the
result of liquor drinking. But when
they are massed in one horrible ag-
gregate, the sum of evil is so great,
men are slow to believe that it is
possible for the nation to carry such
a burden. Nevertheless these are the
cold facts of the case.
What will we do about it? Many
remedies have been proposed, but
only two have shown very substantial.
or enduring. results in the way of
abating the awful evil,
One is the moral power of chris
tianity to redeem men from sin and
deliver them from the bondage of
evil habits. This needs to be magnl-
fed more and more, and especially
in view of the disposition of GER
tain class of garrulous and conceited
reformers (who have done little more
than draw salaries from reform So
cietiesl to belittle the work of the
churches in the matter of saving
drunkards and their families from
the thraldom of drink. Recently in
a meeting Of preachers in Atlanta,
an impudent candidate undertook to
lecture the preachers and abuse the
churches on this subject, when in
truth there was hardly a minister
present who had not done vastly
more than he ever did to rescue
men from dissipation and close the
saloons which lead men to ruin. 1t
is a part of the stock in trade of
certain reformers to abuse the preach
ers and the churches upon whom they
constantly. depend for what little
they undertake to do. But for all
that we must continue to depend
upon the churches and the christian
ministry to save men from drunken
ness and all other forms of sin.
Then there is the legal prohibition

return at once to Sandringham She
Will have with her the Princess Victo-
ria, who is to have week or two in
Denmark after leaving her sister at
Christiania, and the queen or Norway,
with her son, the Crown Prince Olay, may
also accompany the party. The OUCH
ess of Cumberland, Notwithstanding
her Indifferent health, has been able
to leave Austria for her native home,
and she is at present at Bernstein,
which is within an hours drive of the
Villa Hvidoere. Thus she is able to
enjoy the frequent companionship OF
her two sisters, Queen Alexandra and
the Empress Marie. The royal family
in Denmark have been much consoled
in these months of mourning by the
staid and serene brightness of our own
widowed queen, who has found relief
from her own sad thoughts in showing
her sympathy with her relatives more
recently bereaved.
On reaching her Norfolk home at the
beginning of November Queen Alex
andra will resume the unaffected life
which she always enjoys in her placid
home There will be a servants ball at
the end of the year. moving pictures
in the ballroom for her grandchildren,
a small coterie of intimates to share
her days in the early winter, visits
from the king and queen at the time
of her birthday and endless tasks OF
charity to engage her thoughts as the
season of goodwill comes round. Next
spring her majesty will once more be
seen in the forefront of the social
world, although she will not attend the
favorite race meetings, or go out to
dinner at the houses of her friends.
She will, however, be a hostess herself
at Marlborough house, and will share
with her august son and Queen Mary
the duties of her station with some
thing of the old nerve and energy.

BAINBRIDGE, Ga. Oct. 1S.-The
Decatur County Boys and Girls Corn
club and Canning club fair is being
held here today and great interest is
being taken in the exhibits. There are
evidences that the young people IN
these clubs did excellent work the past
year. There are some girls that have
a variety of thirty products that have
been canned or preserved all fixed up
as nicely as If bought from a first
class grocery store.
The boys have some excellent corn
with written reports of how grown, all
on exhibit which is attracting a great
deal of attention. Some boys raised
as high as 10 bushels to the acre.
In addition to these exhibits most OF
the schools of the county have educa-
tional exhibits of their work which is
very interesting. The Swicord school
of near Climax has an especially no.
table collection of work.
In addition to considerable over 100
maps all excellently drawn' and colored.
they have a miniature log house made
from sixty-five kinds of wood growing
in Decatur county. They also have
samples of the various soils of the
county, rocks that are found along the
creek bottoms. relief maps, goose quill
pens and various other examples OF
manual training. Individual prizes and
school prizes have been offered which
are large enough to be attractive. Their
prizes will be awarded tomorrow after-
noon.
Every individual exhibitor among the
boys and girls received gold pin with
their club insignia. They were enter
tanned this afternoon by an automobile
ride given by the citizens Of BainPridge
and at night at the moving picture
show where educational reels had been
specially secured for this occasion.
