Deaths From Alcohol
From the New York Herald.

Federal Prohibition Commissioner Roy A.
Haynes, the chief of the United States ot1-
erals to enforce prohibition in all parts OF the
country, quotes some interesting STATISTICS
prepared by the United States census bu-
reau showing the annual death rate from
alcoholism in New York state to the thous-
and of population from 1913 through l92O.
In 1918 there were, according to these tg-
ures, 73 deaths due to alcoholism to the
thousand of population. In 1914 there were
SO deaths. In 1915 the number was further
reduced to So to the thousand of population
The following year, increased the number TO
50 deaths to the thousand. Thereafter there
was a steady decline, In 1917 there were o.
deaths to the thousand; in 1913 80 to the
thousand. In 1919 the number was reduced
to 20 to the thousand and in 1920 it was IL
to the thousand.
Commissioner Haynes also quotes figures
showing the percentage OF decrease IN ar
rests for drunkenness obtained from COM
parison of the last two wet years with the
first two dry years in tWenty-s1X cities OF
New York state. The average decrease was
81 per cent, including New York city; eX-
elusive OF New York city it was 50 per cent
Statistics relating to alcoholism are not
the most reliable of those in the mortality
tables by any means. Yet these figures quot
ed by the head OF the prohibition depart
ment show such a marked decline in the num-
Der of deaths from alcoholism that they must
mean something. But federal prohibition has
not done it all. 1t will be observed that
considerable part of the decline had taken
place before either the Volstead act or the
war time prohibition act became effective.
In 1918 the figures were 80 to the thousand
of population. That was the last year before
prohibition.
The figures concerning drunkenness ar
rests are more impressive. They range from
decrease Of 81 per cent in Albany to p
per cent in Mount Vernon. The decrease i'm
New York city amounted to AZ per cent.

A Splendid Official.

A recent visitor to Dawson was Hon. Sam
]. Slate of the Georgia Industrial Commits
sion, state department which was created
by the legislature some years ago to estab-
lish compensation for personal injuries or
death sustained by employees of industrial en-
terprises, and to provide methods of insur-
ing the payment of such compensation.
Mr. Slate has been a valuable member OF
this commission, and has made record that
is alike creditable to him and to the state.
A graduate of one of the best known law
schools of the country, he is aided in the dis
charge of his duties by a well-grounded
knowledge of legal matters, which, together
with an abundance of good common sense,
industry and knack of getting at the bot
tom of things, peculiarly fits him for the
work of this important office. Several times
judgments of the commission have been
passed upon by the courts, and in each in
stance upheld.
Georgia is fortunate in having men like
Mr.. Slate in the public service.

Too Much Legislation.

Jim Nevin says in the Atlanta Georgian
that with Georgia congressman propos
ing that congressional salaries be raised and
a Georgia governor and governor-elect pro-
posing that Georgia legislative sessions be
made biennial and restricted to not more
than one session every other year, many
Georgia politicians of high and low degree
are more or less wondering where they get
off" Most people believe that most congress
men are now overpad, but ninety-nine per
cent of the people OF Georgia know that the
Legislature meets too often For that reason
there is little doubt that a biennial sessions
bill will be passed at the approaching SEES
sion of the Legislature and the business in
terests of the state given rest from legis-
lative interference. The taxpayer would also
like a little of the same invigorator.
