ASKS
PARKING RULES
First Baptist Congregation Calls
On Mayor And City Council
For Action

The mayor and city council were
called upon in a resolution unanim-
ously adopted Sunday morning by
the congregation of the First Baptist
church, to enact an ordinance regu-
lating the parking of vehicles on
Lee and Taylor streets between 9 80
and 1890 and 7 and 9 o'clock each
Sunday as matter of public safety
At the direction of the congregation,
the pastor, DR.. Carl w. Minor, ap-
pointed committee of three to ap-
pear before the mayor and council
next Thursday night to present the
request. This committee consists Of
Cbas. Lingo, Hollis Fort and Bradley
Hogg. The resolution was presented
by Mr.. Lingo, chairman of the
church property committee of the
church board, and follows:
Whereas, we believe that it would
be to the best interest of public safe
ty to have some ordinance passed by
the mayor and city council of
Americus regulating the parking of
vehicles on Lee and Taylor streets
between the hours of $50 a. m. and
1880 P. NJ, and from 7 to 9 p. m.
on Sunday of each week.
Therefore be it resolved that a
committee be appointed by the mod
orator to confer with the mayor and
city council with view of securing
the passage Of said ordinance as will
effectually protect the public in the
parking of vehicles during said time.
Mr.. Lingo today informed w. E.
Taylor, chairman of the ordinance
committee of the council, of the ac-
ton of the congregation.
1t is understood to be the wish
of the leaders in this church that
parking be restricted to the west
side of Lee street and the south side
of Taylor during these hours, this
giving an unobstructed street next
to the churches at all times ard thus
reducing the danger to pedestrians,
particularly children, crossing the
streets.

PUBLIC ASKED TO
DISCUSS CHANGE
in FRIENDLlNESS
w. M. Jones, Committee Chair
man, Says People Fail To
Realize Situation

A mass meeting of citizens OF
Americus to consider the proposal 70
change the present form OF govern
ment Of the City of Americus to the
ommission-manage form will be
held at the city hall at 7:45 O'clock
tuesday evening. The call was made
today by w. M. Jones, who was chair
man of the citizens committee which
considered the same subject year
ago. Mr.. Jones said he had been
asked by several members OF the
city council and number of citizens
to arrange for such meeting, and
was doing SO in an effort to learn
.he wishes Of the public on the sub
ject.
"We want this to be meeting
held in fairness and friendliness,
without any disposition TO critlcisa or
jump onto anybody, and with the
sole object Of discussing what IS best
for the interests of the city" said
he. Eve want the same spirit TO
prevail at that meeting as prevails
in our civic clubs, where men meet
together, face to face, and discuss
matters in a frank and friendly way
with the purpose of getting ideas and
forming intelligent opinions.
II have had discussion with May
or Sheppard this morning OF the sub
ject. went to his office to arrange
for securing the city hall and he
readily granted permission for lts
use. While there we discussed the
city's situation. He showed me from
the auditors report that much money
which has gone to increase the city's
floating debt has been spent on pub
lie improvements, such us purchasing
the Playground for some $1,000,
installing new equipment at the
pumping station, etc, all Of which
are assets Of the city existing today,
but which should have been financed
by bond money. / told him | want
ed him to be on hand with this and
other information he has. 1t was a
mistake in financing and has tended
to greatly increase the city's troll
bles, but l feel it was the system
which was largely to blame, rather
than the administration. At any
rate, criticism will not help now, and
what we want TO do is to agree on
the best remedy for the situation,
n ii bnna 4n OF
clusions at this mass meeting, where
the subject will be open to discussion
by all ctiSens. | did not ask him
whether he favors or opposes the
change.
81 don't believe the people are
sufficiently aroused about the stu
alton as it exists and as it will con-
tlnue to exist unless something is
done. do not believe they realize
the fact that the city,s floating debt
is in reality first mortgage upon
every bit of taxable property in tbs

to the largest dwelling house and
upon every business enterprise large
or small. This debt will have to %
paid, and it can be Paid only by tax.
es. If taxes are not paid when levied
the property can be sold for the tax

er obligation resting against it.
The joint committees of fedora
ton of the three civic clubs of the
city will meet at o'clock this eve
ming at the Chamber of Commerce
for organization and it is understood
the proposed change in city govern
ment is on the program for discus
sion. "af

HOBSON CALLS
LIQUOR WORST
Traffic Worst Factor Against
New Principle Of Rights, He
Says Here

Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson,
of Merrimac fame in the Spanish
war. arrived in Americas today for
a lecture at the First Methodist
church tonight at 7:45 O'clock. inc
Challenge of the Red Flag and the
Black Flag" will be his topic, it be-
ing a talk in the interest Of the Anti
Saloon League and his notable
chautauqua lecture. He will be in
troduced by Stephen Pace,
After Capt. Hobson's address he
will hold reception at the front of
the church, at which he will be glad
to meet the citizens of the COM
munity.
"In the worlds reconstruction to
which mankind IS now applying it
self new Fundamental rights are to
be guaranteed, the rights for COM
and nat;0rs III addition &C
the bill of rights for individuals" "
said Capt. Hobson in a statement
here. underlying both kinds of rights
is the dignity of human life and its
inherent right not be exploited but
to be free to adjust itself in harmony
with the forces of nature: in their
BUSINESS relations men shall not ex-
plot harmful or destructive COM
modities, but shall return value re
,ceived for substance taken.
"The chief obstacle in the path
way of the application of this princi-
pie is the widespread intrenched
power of businesses that exploit hu-
manity through opium, beverage al
cohol and other habit-forming drugs,
vice and other destructive agencies.
Among these anti-social forces, the
liquor traffic is dominant.
$50 fundamental are its ravages
modern science declares that it places
a definite limit upon the progress
and life of the world. Nations and
civilizations undegenerated should
continue to develop indefinitely like
species in nature with fitting en-
vironment. We now know that the
nations and civilizations that are
gone all rose under abstemious con-
ditions, declined under dissipation
and finally fell in degeneracy.
1t is vain to make the world safe
for Democracy if the world is de-
bauchcd by liquor. The liquor traf-
fic will scducc the free institutions
of any land and every land. The
world to become and remain free
must be sober. 1t is vain to expect
peace to be enduring while men are
brutalized by liquor. 1t is vain to
look for brotherly cooperation be
tween nations and races when the
average standard of character is de-
pressed through general degeneracy
The first principle of reconstruction,
the corner stone of the new edifice,
must be a sober world America is
manifestly the nation to lead the
moral forces in the winning of this
objective.
"The Anti-Saloon League with its
platform as broad as humanity, which
has harmonized the forces within the
nation in bringing about nationwide
prohibition is manifestly the organi.
zation to guide in America and
through America in the world.
would earnestly appeal to good met
and good women in all walks OF
life who want sober world to join
this great organization without fur.
