BENNETT, President. MM. T. J. WALSH, secretary. .;s The late H. W. Grady, editor of the | Atlanta Constitution, gives the following reason for voting against the saloon: "I assume to keep no man's conscience; I assume to judge for no man; that I am better than any man, but that l am weaker. But I say this to you: I have a boy as dear as the ruddy drops that gather about his heart. I find my hopes already centering in his little body, and I look to hira to-night to take "Upon him­ self the work that, strive as I may, must fall unfinished at last from my hands. Now, I know they say it is proper to educate a boy at home; that if he is taught right at home he will not go wrong. This is a lie to begin with, bi.t that don't matter. I have seen sons of fsome as good people as ever lived turn out badly. I accept my responsibility as a father. The boy may fall from the right path as things now exist. If be -does, I shall bear that sorrow with such ^resignation as I may. But I tell you, if I were to vote to recall bar-rooms to the city when I know that it has prospered in their absence, and that boy should fall through their agency, I tell you-- aad this conviction has come to me in the still watches of the night--I could not, wearing the crowning sorrow of his disgrace, and looking into the eyes of her whose heart he had broken, I could not, |if I had voted to recall, these bar-rooms, find answer to my conscience or support for my remorse. I don't know how any other father feels, but that is the way I fed if God permits me to utter the truth." k z Santa cuu# \AAD£ ONLY BY " A , > ? .
