Regular Meeting on

Night of Each
Month at Carnegie
Library.
By E. MARVIN UNDERWOOD.
The distressing event* <>f the pant
week have completely filled the minds
of all Atlantans. Here In our city the
aoul has run the gamut of human pas.
•lone. We have seen the manifesta
tion! of fear, vengeance, hatred, folly,
Cowardice, depravity, cruelty and
crime, and yet again we have seen
Valor, nobility, manhood, virtue, fidel
ity and love. All realize the evil done;
most are thinking and working to right
the wrong. It will be done. "Res nolunt
dlu male adlmlnlstrari.’ 1
It Is not the purpose of the writer
to propose or advocate any line of
Conduct as a solution of our great race
problem. This problem, though old, is
•till unsolved, and will probably require
years of our best efforts to reach a
satisfactory solution. It Is the supreme
problem of the Southern student of so
ciology', and our best minds must de
vote themselves to It. Rut let us rath
er today, while the memory Is fresh,
consider the lessons to be derived from
the recent outbreak of lawlessness In
our city, and let us do so In a' brave,
optimistic way. The experience Is not
all bad—there Is "a soul of goodness In
things evil.” It Is the function of the
student of social questions, us It Is
his duty, not only to see and denounce
the evil In society, but also to encour
age those who are endeavoring to over
come Jt. One of the finest qualifies of
the Atlanta Spirit is Its hopefulness
and cheerfulness and the indomitable
determination to overcome all obsta
cle*. See how finely she Is proceeding
to wipe out the disgrace of the last
few days! Past carelessness Is being
remedied by present zeal and energy.
Let this sight give courage to any
doubting or pessimistic friend. Atlan
ta has bravely borne the evil of the
brief mob rule; she Is now nobly striv
ing for the "soul of goodness" hidden
therein.
Can any good follow In the wake of
a riotous mob? Will Atlanta receive
any good from her sad experience of
Saturday and Monday nights? How
emphtalc was the negative answer to
these questions that came to me while
viewing the awful spectacle of the mob
of Saturday night. Nothing could be
more horrible than the sight of the
wild terrified flight of the Innocent vic
tim, whom I could not aid, and the
savage pursuit of the depraved and In
human mob. which would not listen
to reason. I looked and saw the ma
jority of faces were those of mere
youths. I tried to reason with those
near by and found minds clouded and
passions heated by liquor. No faces
seemed to me to bear marks of that
chivalry which purposes to defend the
honor of women, but rather was there
present evidence of depraved souls
■which had lost the beauty of virtue
and delighted In violence. That mob
seemed an irresponsible, yet irresisti
ble force, which was bearing on to an
unknown goal, directed only by chance.
Cowardice was covered up In numbers
and needed only slight danger to un
mask It, yet Jt spent its force un
checked, upon the weak and unpro
tected. "A mob Is a society of bodies
voluntarily bereaving themselves of
reason and traversing its work. The
mob Is man voluntarily descending to
| the nature of the beast. Its fit hour
is night. Its actions are insane, like
its whole constitution. It persecutes
a principle; It would whip a right; It
■would tar and feather justice, by In
flicting fire and outrage upon the
houses and person* of those who hav
these.’* Such was the mob that so In
Jured our beloved city. Can we dis
cover any good to be derived from the
experience? Certainly we can, and we
are already happy in the discovery.
"The minds of men are at last aroused,
reason looks out and Justifies her own,
and malice finds all her work vain. It
Is the W'hlpper who Is whipped and the
tyrant who is undone.” The best of
our citizens have awakened to their
responsibility and our officials to their
duty. Reform has already begun and
a moral cleansing of our city Is in
progress.
Municipal and Individual prosperity
has impeded moral Improvement In our
city. In their efforts to promote and
nroperly care for their rapidly grow
ing and successful businesses, our best
citizens had grown apathetic to the
duty resting upon them to zealously
guard the moral welfare of Atlanta
The sentiment has been—I am too busy
for politics, some one else will look aft
er that. The result has been tlint this
most Important work has received little
Attention. Our city officials. In their
zeal for and pride In Atlanta’s won
derful material prosperity and devel
opment have underestimated the ne
cessity for careful consideration and
discussion of the morality of our city.
They have underestimated the value
of municipal morality us an asset and
have, either for want of due consid
eration or for revenue, permitted con
ditions which have produced our dis
grace. But the mob has taught us all
our error. Each worthy citizen and of
ficial has hud his own responsibility
impressed upon him. We all realize
that the paltry revenue received from
the licensing of Immoral places not
only does not pay for protection
against unusual outbreaks, hut not
even for protection against the ordina
ry lawlessness and disorder originating
in such places. All worthy citizens
heartily indorse the action of the city
council In its efforts to rid the city of
low dives.
The financial loss to Atlanta, caused
by the riot. Is Inestimable. The money
thus lost In disgrace would have been
sufficient to buy new parks, establish
new schools, found reformatories and
beautify our city—all of which are po
tent factors, not only In elevating the
moral tone and culture of a city, but
Also In lessening crime. How grieved
we are now that we are offering re
wards and expending large sums of
money for the apprehension and pun
ishment of criminals, instead >.f con
tributing the same amount to Institu
tions that would prevent the develop
ment of such criminals and which
would bring safety and beauty to our
city.
But let us turn away from regrets of
the past and eagerly take up thv wtjpk
of the future. Let us turn sHf-cen-
sure into determination to cornet mis- |
takes, apathy into thoughtful activity J*
of good citizens, ignorance Into know!- ' l
edge of social needs, individual -elfish- j f«
ness Into municipal liberality, abuse
officials Into praise of their n*w zt
and reform work and Into a determi
nation to support them now and hold
them to a correct policy in the future.
Let us not regret our great loss, but
rather accept It as the price paid for
the lesson we have received. Truly
we are to receive much good from the
experience, It has cost us dearly, but
if we learn the lesson, and there i*
ment In our city, the cos* has not been
too great.
The fact that the majority of the At
lanta inob consisted of boys under 20
years of age impresses upon us the ne
cessity of checking Juvenile crime.
Fifty-five per cent of criminals are un
der 20 years of age. It Is our duty to
study local conditions, to find out the
causes of Juvenile crime and then erad
icate them, to study our Juvenile crim
inals, discover their needs and reform
them.
We have begun such work In our
Juvenile court and probation system,
but It Is a mere beginning, for the
officers are hampered by the lack of
equipment and imperfection of the sys
tem. However, much good Is being
done along this line, and we should
urge our city officials to make ample
appropriations for the Improvement
and development of this feature of our
city government.
One of the most prolific causes of
Juvenile crime In Atlanta is the en
vironment met with while working or
loitering in the city streets and public
places. Groups of Idle boys, neglected
by Indifferent parents, are found all
er our city at all hours of the day
and night, on the streets, railroads, in
front of bar rooms, In the cheapest
gallery of the theaters and other pub
lic places.
The history of 96 per cent of Juvenile
criminals show previous had associa
tions. Most crimes of Juveniles are
planned In such company and they take
great pride In the "dime novel" style
performance. Saturday night I saw
boys without coats and collars, with
blood-stained shirts, sleeves rolled up
he elbow, hats pulled down over
the face, sticks and boards In their
hands, running at the head of the mob,
reproductions of the toughs or villains
they had seen In some horrid melo
drama.
Other boys are kept on the streets
and sent Into disreputable places by
the character of their employment—
such as news boys, and messenger boys
—and In this way are cursed by their
environment. Such boys should be
protected by ordinances which forbid
their entering immoral places and
which provide punishment for anyone
sending them into such places.
Idle boys and loafers should be kept
off the streets, especially at night, and
no boys under 16 years of age should
be allowed to enter theaters unless
chaperoned by some responsible per
son. Mr. Gloer, our excellent proba
tion officer/ says that the gathering of
boys In the galleries of theaters and
ten pin alleys. Is one of the greatest
evils he has to combat In Atlanta.
But what shall we do with these boys
If we run them off the streets and keep
them away from public places? Shall
we force them to remain at home?
We must first see what kind of
homes they have. In many instances
It Is much better to allow them to stay
on the streets and to visit the public
places, however bad this may be, than
to Imprison them In their miserable
home*. Statistics show that 96 per
cent of criminals come from homes
cursed with alcoholism, vice or other
social Ills. Only 2 per cent come from
homes classed as good, and 20 per cent
from those classed as doubtful. Many
of the homea classed as good or doubt
ful have a positive evil Influence upon
the children because of the Ignorance
or neglect of the parents. Many chil
dren, either because the home is the
bleakest, or most detested place In the
world to them on account of unsym
pathetic or neglectful parents, or be
cause they are actually driven awayr,
roam the streets at All hours of the
day or night, while their parents are
In total Ignorance of their whereabouts.
It Is sad to contemplate how little care
and thought Is expended on the rear
ing of children. Most of them rear
themselves, and the wonder Is they
succeed as well as they do. How for
elgn Is the Idea, even to many parents
of good intentions, of expending
thought and care on the subject of the
play time and play grounds of their
children. Upon no one does time hang
so heavily as upon the child without
work* or play. He must also have play
mate*. If parents do not provide whole-
some recreation and necessary asso
ciations, the child will supply the need
with Buch past times as he may, and
with such companionship as chance
affords.
Before condemning children to such
homes we must see to it that parents
furnish better homes and that the city
provides places for their play and
games. We can do a great deal toward
bettering homes by counsel and advice,
and where this falls, by the enactment
and enforcement of strict sanitary
laws, which would promote health and
furnish clean breathing spaces for
children. These measures would force
parents to do their duty at least in
part. Then the city must do its part.
This means that we should right now
begin to plan a system of parks and
play grounds for Atlanta. It should be
the policy of our city not to sell any
land which can be utilised for park
purposes, but on the other hand to buy
up such property whenever possible.
Especial attention should be given to
the poor and crowded sections ht the
city. Many small parks in such sec
tions would bring the city large re
turns in the Improved health, morals
and happiness of the beneficiaries. It
would be a capital Investment, even
though the city had to borrow money
to make the purchases. Many children
could be cared for and probably turned
from a criminal career by transforming
all school yards into play grounds
under the direction of competent di
rectors, who would inculcate right ideas
of life. An experiment along this line
was made this summer and worked
admirably. There is no reason why
this plan should 'not become a perma
nent feature of our city government.
The experience of the recent riot
should tench us to be unstinted in ap
propriating money for civic improve
ment. Increase taxes, or borrow money
If necessary and let us have a model
city. Lt It be clean, healthy, moral
and beautiful. Now Is the time to act,
while the public sentiment will sanc
tion such efforts, and after we have
once attained this goal and people have
learned to consider such conditions as
necessary and normal, no one will be
so rash as to advocate the abandon
ment of such a policy.

WEATHER BUREAU, 56 YEARS OLD,
WAS FIRST PROJECTED IN SOUTH
A Little Sketch of the Beginnings and Growth of the
Great Science, and Its Relation to- the
People.
By J. B. MARBURY, Section Dirsctor.
It has been said that the'weather
bureau was neither an invention nor a
discovery, but nn incident, and that
the incident came about with the In
troduction pf the magnetic telegraph.
Observations of the various atmospher
ic elements have been made for ages,
but ft was impossible to utilize them
to foretell coming weather changes
until telegraphic communication be
tween distant points was established.
'The birth of meteorology ns a phys
ical science dates from the Invention
of Its essential Instruments, the barom
eter und thermometer. Before these
discoveries thero existed only desul
tory observations of the weather un
recorded save in the folk-lore of un
skilled persons; yet this took such firm
hold upon the mind that many of its
proverbs still regain In common use.
8tartsd at ths South.
Ah early a* 1838 a record of temper
ature and rainfall was begun a
Charleston, S. by a Dr. Lining. Theso
Charleston observations were followed
by a series of greater or less extent
and completeness In various sections
of the United States, being the out
growth of private interests which of
ten flagged in the absence of ‘any di
reding Influence. They were irregu-
•ases und were not pre-
lar In most
served a* public records.
The era of systematic observations
dates from about the year 1789, when a
series wus begun In Bermuda by Hon.
Jonlah Meigs, commissioner of the land
office. In January, 1817, he suggested
to congress the passage of a resolu
tion providing for the keeping of me
teorological records at the different
land offices—these records to he sent
to the general land office at the close
of each month. He failed to secure
the sanction of congress, but with the
aid of a number of his subdrdfnates,
carried on the work until his death In
1822. ,
The next system of observation
established by the surgeon general of
the army In January, 1819, and has
been maintained to the present. With
In a few years, the subject which wai
oo unimportant for the consideration
f congress In 1817, had attained a rec
ognised position as entitled to public
upport.
Professor Henry Takes it Up.
In 1849 the Smithsonian Institution
began Its great work In the field of
American meteorology under the direc
tion of Professor Joseph Henry, who
gathered up, from all available sources,
past records of Umperaturt nnd rain
fall. Thus it was that in 1870 this In
stitution controlled all the meteorolog
ical recotdi* nt this country. Up to
meteorologist* had confined
themselves chiefly to the collection of
lata and study of the physics of the
atmosphere with reference to the "law
f storms." The general law r>f Mo- ms
had been investigated by prominent
lentists at home and abroad, but
their demonstration on the broad field
f America and their practical applica
tion to weather fotecastlng awaited
funner and more exacting research.
In 1831 it was first declared by Red-
field that storms were great revolving
whirlwind* that turned fiom right to
left about the progressing center. This
fact coupled with Franklin’s discovery
that all stotrm moved from west tv»
east In crossing the United States,
formed the foundation upon which the
present work of fotecastlng l* based.
The First Forecast, v
The earliest attempt at publishing
predictions of future weather seems to
have been In 1838; In this reports Pro-
Henry stajes that when the map
1 rain at Cincinnati in the morn-
| ing It was considered an Indication of
ruin at Washington the next day.
The development <*f the plans of Pro
fessor Henry were interfered with by
!h» civil war, but the Idea was revived
by Professor Cleveland Abbe, now of
the wca’.lu-i bureau, then director of
the Cincinnati Observatory. In 1868
Professor Abbe succeeded in Inter
merce In the project of dally weather
predictions, and begnn the iNsuunce of
the "Weather Bulletin of the Cincin
nati Observatory,” which lasted from
September, 1869, to January. 1871, when
he was called to Washington to assist
In the formation of the forecasting
service of signal service.
The bill creating the United States
weather hurenu, or signal sei\ice> as it
was first called, was passed by congress
February 9. 1870, and this new serv
ice went into operation November 1 of
that year with about thirty stations
fully established. During the first 20
years of its life the weather service
was under military control; its chief
was an army officer nnd the observers
were regularly enlisted men. During
that period Its progress was slow and
the demand for a strictly scientific bu
reau, unhampered by military regula
tions, resulted in a reorganization of
the service In 1891 and the transfer of
the meteorological work to the depart
ment of agriculture.
At Its Inauguration Its purpose was
the warning of storms upon the Great
Lakes and the Eastern seaboard, but
by natural extension It has become a
bureau of record as well. In 1874 the
Smithsonian Institution transferred to
it all the meteorological records col
lected In a long series of years under
that system. From that time the
weather service, In addition to Its fore
casting functions, has developed into
the most comprehensive bureau of rec
ords. Its files contain almost the en
tire mass of observations from the
earliest times, and additions are con
stantly made. t
Work of th* Burssu.
The weather bureau today Is known
to the public chiefly through Us dally
forecasts of rain or fair, warmer or
colder, nnd Us estimate of the utility
of the sendee Is based on the accuracy
of these predictions. These predictions
are of great commercial value, but If
there never was another forecast Issued
Its value to the country would far
more than justify the expense of main
taining it. It is impossible to estimate
the true value of the data secured by
this Important branch of our govern
ment. These data supply information
relative to rainfall on the various
water sheds of our streams, so neces
sary In guiding engineers In the con
struction of water powers; they de
termine the conditions of heat, moisture
and other elements of value to farmer
or home-seeker; they form an Impor
tant basis for Judging the various
claims of different localities ns health
resorts; they put valuable informatlor
Into the hands of physicians In dealing
with epidemic diseases; In short, <he
benefits are far too numerous to sum
marize In an article of this kind. The
work of the weather bureau has become
o closely allied with climate and agri-
ulture that one can not be considered
apart from the other.
During the past ten years tl\e arms
of the weather bureau have been con
stantly spread out over the agricultural
Interests of our country as never be
fore.
Storm Service.
Statistics prove that one storm tra
versing otir Eastern coast In the ab
sence of danger signals would leave not
than three million dollars’ worth
of wreckage. This is simply the money
value of the property placed In a posi
tion of safety as a result of the warn
ings furnished vessel owners and mas
ters, hut docs not represent the value
f property saved. A few years ago a
evere storm from the West Indies
wept up the Atlantic const. Warnings
of Its approach were sent to every city
along the Atlantic seaboard from Key
West, Fla., to Portland, Me., fully 48
hours before It reached the coast of
Florida. After the passage of the
storm it was estimated by the officials
of the Savannah and Charleston boards
of trade that more than three million
dollars’ worth of property had been
saved to those two cities alone, to say
nothing of the loss of life which might
have resulted had the many vessels
kept In harbor put to sea. This one
forecast proved a saving to two cities I
alone of nearly as much money as U I
required to maintain the entire weather
service for three years. The people
J. B. MARBURY.
of the severe cold wave of February,
1899, 36 hours before its arrival and
In and immediately . around Atlanta
fu)Jy*a quarter of a million dollars’
worth of property was saved. In this
city are half & dozen floral companies
whose Investments aggregate 1 more than
one hundred thousand dollars. With
out the warning of that one cold wave
their entire properties would have been
destroyed.
Cane Growers Depend On It.
Sugar cane, the most Important prod
uct of Louisiana, is peculiarly sensitive
to low temperature, nnd Is easily de
stroyed by frost. Whenover frost warn
ings are received from the weather
bureau all available labor Is utilized In
cutting the cane and placing It In a
position of safety. In this way heavy
losses are averted annually. Some years
ago It was estimated by the governor
of that state that nearly the entire crop
would have been destroyed but for the
timely receipt of a frost warning Issued
by the weather bureau. This means a
saving of several million dollars to a
single state.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are
saved to the orange growers of Flor
ida nnd the raisin Interests of Cali
fornia every year. The warnings are
of untold value to the commerce on the
Great Lakes, rivers and oceans, to say
nothing of the overland transportation
The saving of perishable goods In
transit benefits commerce, and theso
benefits revert to the producer. Any
damage occurring to goods en route
from the producer to the consumer Is
at the cost of the producer. In the
early spring timely warnings of frost
are sent to the rural districts and dis
seminated a* widely as conditions will
permit.
Telephone an Agsnt.
Owing to the Increase In the rural
free delivery and rural telephone ser
vice, supplemented by the co-operation
of the various railroad companies, the
weather bureau Is now able to reaeft
the Inhabitants of the most remote ru
ral districts on the day the warnings
or forecasts are issued. In Georgia ful
ly 50 per cent of the white farmers are
able to avail themselves of these bene'
(Its.
We can not-lift the veil and forecast
as to the future possibilities of the
weather bureau, but -can see dimly
through the mist as we-judge the fu
ture by the past. Did the public realize
35 years ago what its records. Its.daily
forecasts or Its storm warnings would
prove to be? Certainly not. It is cov
ering a wide field of usefulness, and
year by year the experience of former
years Is built upon, and the future re
search and discoveries will certainly
add much to our present knowledge of
meteorology and the usefulness of the
•ather service to the public.

MR. DOOLEY ON THE
. POWER OP THE PRESS
(P. F. Dunne, in-American Magazine
for October.)
Th" printed wurrudl What can I
do against lt? I can buy a gun to
protect me against me tnlmy. I can
change me name to save me fr*m th’
grand Jury. But there’s no escape fr
good man or bad fr'm th’ printed wur-
rud. It follows me wherlver I go an"
sthrikes me down In church, In me
offlee. In me very home. There was
me frlnd Jawn D. Three years ago
he seemed Insured against punish
ment ayether here or hereafther. A
happy man, a religious man. He had
squared th 1 llglslachures, th' courts, th-
pollytlclans an- th' Baptist clargy. He
saw th- dollars hoppln' out In lvry lamp
chlmbley In th' wurruld an" hurryln'
to'rd him. His heart was pure, seeln'
that he had nlver done wrdng save in
th' way Iv business His head was
hairless but unbowed, lvry Monday
inoi-nln' I read Iv him leadin' a chorus
Iv "Onward Chrlstyan sogers march-
In f r th' stuff." He was at peace
with th' wurruld, th' fleah, an' th'
divide. A good man! What cud harm
him? An’ so It acemed he might pro
ceed to th' grave, whin, lo an' behold
up In his path leaps a lady with a peii
in hand an' olf goes Jawn D. fr th’
•all timbers. A Imly, mind ye, dips
a pen Into nn Ink well! there's an
explosion, an' what's left Iv Jawn D
an’ his power ivudden’t frighten croivs
away fr’m n corn Held. Who's afraid
Iv Rockyfeller now? The' prlsldlnt hits
him, a goluf caddy overcharges him
an whin he comes back fr'm Europe
he has as many pollsmen to meet him
on th pier as Doc Owens. A year
ago annybody wud take his money.
Now If he wanted to give It even to
Chancellor Day he’d have to meet him
In a barn at midnight. . .
Down they come, the*e here Joynts
that have *et on our neck* fr year*
not crushed be th’ hand Iv th* law
which happen* to be busy in their
pockets at th’ time, or shot out be th*
bombs iv a rlvolution or even Hglslated
out be Congress, but smashed be wan
tap Iv a lead pencil be a man or a wo
man that has about as much money as
wud buy cuttle flshbone fr their cana
ry burrds an’ doesn't want anny more
A cry goes up, "Here comes Ray-
porther Baker,” an* th’ haughty Insur*
ance magnates break th’ mahogany
furniture an* th* quarther-mlle record
In a dash f’r th steamer. A novel
smashes th* beef thrust an’ a blow
fr’m th’ relentless Faber Number Two
knocks th* props out fr’m undher th’
throne lv Rooshya. A young fellow
comes along an’ writes a novel an’ th’
vll Ian Iv It la th' Boston an' Maine
Railroad. Th' villlan iv all modhern
nove a Is a corporation iv aome kind, a
packin house, karosene He facthry or
a railroad. Th' Boston an’ Maine rail
road la a handsome wretch that enthera
a peaceful New Hampshire village with
its cursed city ways, deceives th’ hee-
ro ne with a false bill lv lading, forges
th will an' acquires a morgredg on th'
old homestead,, but It Is foiled at last
by th author. The state iv New Hamp
»h rc arises as wan man so' It seems,
an calls upon th* young fellow to run
fr governor. None but writing men
need now apply. FT th’ first time In
thirty years we have a prlsldlnt who
Isnt a lawyer, th* well known an’ pop
lar author lv ”Alone In Cuba,” "Pri-
X?. t r?. J <:orryBpondenceM < 97 volumes),
•Wild Beasts I Have Met In Wyo-
mlng an’ Washington." ”Th’ Winning Iv
th’ West an’ How I Did It,” an’ so
forth. Th’ hopes Iv th’ Dlmmycratlc
party is divided between th’ iditor iv
a Nebraska weekly an’ the iditor lv a
New York siventy times dally an* a
few at night.
Whin a state wants to lllct a gov
ernor or a city a mayor they don’t go
ns wanst they did to th’ most graceful
tax dodger In th’ community f’r advice,
but apply to th’ pollytlckal Intelligence
office set up be me frlnd Lincoln Stef
fens. No wan can get a Job without
a charackter from him; "Grover Cleve
land, honest but grumpy; don't get
along with other servants an’ Is dis
posed to lecture his masters; tndus-
threous, but not very bright; wud
make a good Judge In a probate court;
since lavin’ hi* last place has been
keepln* bad comp’ny.”
"Thaydore Rosenfelt; excellent man
lv all wurruk, honest, sober, but a lit- *
tie quarrelsome. Sometlpies thrles too
hard to please all his employers at
wanst; wants to do too much fr thim
at other times an’ has been known to
compel thlm to take a bath when they
didn’t need It. Wud make an excellent
watchman fr th’ front dure, but doesn’t
pay much attention to th’ back lv th’
house. Very well satisfied with his
present position, but may have to
make a change.” "Wlllum Jennings
Bryan; has been a second man fr
year*, a position to which he Is well
suited. Wud like to Improvs his con
dition. Cheerful, economical, but not
to be thrusted with silver.”
