They knew where they were going
during the war. They were all CO.

enemy. They enjoyed the definiteness
and the concreteness of that objective.
They could see where they were going
each day. Then peace came and they
lost that objective. Life seemed COM
paratively without purpose. They were
thrown back on themselves and to
purely selfish concerns. We lost our
national morale because we failed to
keep alive the idea of AmericantSm as
we had kept it alive in the war. We
had been going forward purposefully
and we did not shift back quickly
enough to the work of putting all our
steam into giving new motif to the

of the American Federation Of Labor:
'In view of the difficulty OF ar

All of Industrial America today is

comes widespread there will result a

mo outstanding ObJect1Ve.
One explanation Of the unrest that
has followed the close of the war,
Secretary Lane said. was that the peo-
pie had no outstanding objective.
Congress, he said, must turn itself
into a council of national progress to
point the way and teach the value to
them of the American form of gov
eminent. Congress-. he recalled, had
failed to act ON several progressive
measures of that character.
Il am not speaking to you as a
democrat" he said. The situation is
far beyond that. I am here to urge
haste. I am here to ask action in the
interest Of our country. And 1 be-
lieve that speak with a hundred mil
lion people behind me. We want con-
struction, not destruction. We want to
think constructively, not destructively.
We want to think in terms of hope.
not in terms of despair. We want

CANDY TAKING pE ArF
OF ALCOHOLIC DRINK
Manufacturers of Sweets Make Plans
For Increased Business on Account
Of National Prohibition.

Atlanta, July 17.-Atlanta candy
stores are selling in greater volume
than ever before, and Atlanta candy
manufacturers are laying their plans
for 100 percent increase Of business
next year, all on account Of bone dry
prohibition. Georgia has been dry
parts OF the country wet up to the
state for a long time, but with other
first of the month liquor drinkers
managed to get their share.
II is q we'll known fact that a Ii
quor drinker when deprived of his

sweets as the next best substitute for
alcohol. Liquor is getting to be one
of the scarcest articles known in the
state of Georgia. A pint of perfectly

night murderous in its effects upon

In direct ratio as thee consumption
of liquor decreases, candy and other
CONNECTIONS increase in consumption.
1t is reliably reported that one AT
lanta candy manufacturer made net
profit last year of $35O,0OO. His en-
tire plant could probably be replaced
for 100000. Another concern is re-
ported to have cleaned up $4,000 in
q plant of abot the same value. But
even these enormously profitable re
suits are going to grow in future, it
IS predicted, as the gradual disappear
ance of liquor and other alcoholic
stimulants produces a growing con-
sumption of candy and sweets.
