Every near beer saloon is going

Hooper Alexander one of the most
valiant fighters for the cause of pro-

was a member, was one of the speak
ers of the afternoon. He declared the
liquor law violations in Atlanta are
notorious and appalling.
These violations" he said, are
accompanied by expressions of ridi-
Guile and defiance on one hand and
are constantly received with deplor-
able Indifference on the part of those
who are charged with the enforce
ment of the prohibition law.

fined to sales to members or their
guests. They are not any the less

in even more fragrant measure, and
openly sell liquor to all customers

Every key of beer that is brewed
under corporate charters and every
glass that is sold in a saloon is equal

gravated by the ridiculous preteSt

THE officials now in office appar-

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PANAMA, Nov. 8-Colonel Goe-
thals has definitely fixed upon March,
1914, as the time of his final depar-
ture from the Isthmus Of Panama.
This leaves less than five months for
him to complete the canal, reorganize
the working force and establish the
operation Of the great waterway
How far his determination has
been Influenced by the attitude of
the administration at Washington has
been left to conjecture by Colonel
Goethals. He had hoped to run the
canal year after its completion But
in the presence of President Taft two
years ago he said he expected to FIN
iSh it early in 1914 and would pav
with it a wear to get 1t in perfect
condition before turning it over TO the
Government
Eager to Get Away.
Unforeseen Complica lions have
dampened his ardor and he is now
eager to get away as soon as possible
The Importance OF his determination
to Quit so soon is obvious.
BY March the canal will be pra
ticaily completed and he hopes TO
have demonstrated by that tlme the
channel is open to shipping.

Colonel Goethals is unalteTabIy OPP

The post of chief engineer Of the
army. which has been suggested as
reward to Colonel Goethals, has no
attraction for him. He probably will
retire from the army, travel for some
time and then open an office in New
York City.
