To the Editor of The Georgian: A« a constant reader of your paper and a close observer of your editorials on the recent riot which occurred in our city, I beg to commend you for the courageous manner In which you resented the un warranted attacks of those who are either Insuffera bly dull, or Inspired by motives instituted by the devil. , No one will dare to claim perfection for our people, hut wo do claim that our Southern character In the large. Is wholesome, generous nnd high pur posed. that wo are making each year hotter than the last, each generation nobler than Its fathers. For further and independent evidence of tho wholesome condition of our character, witness the prompt and wise action taken by our people immediately after the riot. Hundreds of the foremost men of our city met and unanimously adopted resolutions condemn ing the crimlnnl, denouncing lawlessness, nnd guar anteeing protection to every citizen worthy of the name. To those who have so unjustly passed a sweep ing condemnation on our people's ehnrnctcr, we sny our defense la an appeal to wiser and impartial critics, If not Indeed to more sympathetic ones. If there be any among us who nro Inclined to ho pes simistic, to you wo say, do not despair from an un warranted conclusion, that tho ovlla which afflict us are marks of decay. Those saving traits of our people's normal disposition will he abundantly able to protect and perpetuate our Institutions Juat aa long as wo are vigilant nnd faithful to our great trust. No thinking man can lose hope while our courts and Juries remain unblemlshod nnd render Justice fearlessly. No one should become discour aged so long as moral rectitude is tho plain, ade quate standard by which we measure the conduct of men. ■ Respectfully, C. B. ROSSER, JR. We think that Mr. Rosser's view Is tho normal and wholesome view for Atlanta and Its friends to take. There Is nothing to foster pessimism In the condi tions which surround us. We have had a riot. It did Us work. It Is over and not likely to occur again. We have expressed, through the most representative chnnneiB, tho city's strong and explicit condemnation of the shedding of Innocent blood, and the voice of the people has gone through the land. There are few cities in America whose skirts are so clear of lawlessness and riot that they can afford to be less than charitable In the deliberate view of our recent history. • There has been aent throughout the country a truth ful and explicit atatement of tho awful provocation, which In lta cumulative Intensity snapped at last tho chords of human endurance and set ua beside ourselveB with wrath and reprisal. 1 Neither the people to tho North of us, upon whose opinions we cannot afford to lean too fondly, nor tho negroes themselves credit tho mob to the real represen tative Atlanta, anu the comments of tho prpss are dally softening and growing more conservative. Meanwhile the police report the city quieter nnd more orderly than it haa been In years. It is tho wcll- nlgh unanimous testimony of our people thnt not in twen ty years have tho negroes been so ordorly, polite nnd ac commodating bb they are todny, nnd tho great, big fact shines out that not oven the suggestion of an assault upon a white woman hna startled North Georgia since 7 p. m. on the evening of September 22! We think that Mr. Rosser Is right In thinking, and timely In saying that the normal nnd snvlng virtues of our people will be abundantly nblo to redeem and to preserve the dignity of our Institutions, and tbo standards of our repute. We have said now all that we are called to sny In protest of our virtues nnd In condemnation of the rioters. It la Just as well to remember the necessity of keep Ing the leaders of the negro rnco In full remembrance of their solemn pledgoB to say less of lynching and to preach hell and damnation to the rapist. And It Is Just as well not to obscure In our own minds the fact that the greatest of crimes la rape. The reign of terror for our Southern womeu has lifted for a season. It Is our highest duty to guard against Its return. OUR PL A TFORM-—The Georgian standi for A tlanta I Owning its own gas and elec tric light plants, as it now owns Its water narks. Other cities do this and get gas as low as 60 cents, with a profit to the city. This should be done at once. The Georgian believes that if street rail ways can be operated successfully by European cities, as they are, there is no good reason why they can not be so operated here. But we do not believe this can be done now, and it may be some years be fore we are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta should set its face in that direction NOW rifle. I know this negro. He la a good negro and does nobody any harm. I am going to protect him, and the man who gets him will have to get Mm when tM* rifle of mine will no longer shoot.’’ And before this brave and resolute front of a single man, the mob tnglnrtously retreated. On the same or the second evening h negro sought refuge from a mob of pursuers In the Marlon hotel, and when the proprietor nnd his guests found tt Impossible with their protests to prevent the entrance of the mob. Colonel Lowry Arnold stepped to tho front and sternly and resolutely announced to the crowd that the first rioter who put his foot within that threshold would be shot dead with the revolver which he held In his hand. And once more the mob retired before the firm and resolute presence of one brave man nnd went to seek prey that offored less resistance. Here, then, you have the llluatratlnn of how two brave and resolute men without spilling a drop of blood drove ■hack the mob by their firmness. The mob as a mass may be brave, but as Individuals It will always be found to possess a yellow streak, and the man who has the nerve nnd the grit and Is of a generous stripe can always de velop that yellow streak If he haa any force and courage of hts own. It might, he well for our officers of the law to real ise In tho future that tho most violent and vindictive of moba always manage to retain enough of reason to recog nize the presence of any real danger to Itself, and that they almost Invariably rctrent before any one brave and determined man who will oppose It. The Compliment to Mr. Maddox. It was a brilliant and well deserved compliment which Fulton county has paid to Robert F, Maddox In the su- ' perb vote by which he was chosen to the county board ot commissioners. With a vigorous campaign conducted with ceaseless energy by two active and energetic competitors, tt was something more than an ordinary compliment to have elected Mr. Maddox by a vote more than twice as large as that of both of hlr competitors combined. ' Such a tribute Is the best of all comments upon a thoroughly clean, upright and public spirited career. Mr. Maddox has done good service In every relation of life which be haa sustained to the people of Atlanta and Ful ton county. Tho people, who are always so much wiser and more observant than they get credit for being, take these occasions now and then to express In magnificent majorities the measure of their confidence and regard for a good citizen and a faithful public servant. Commissioner McLendon. Our congratulations are extended to the Hon. S. O. McLendon upon hla practically unanimous selection to the office of railroad commissioner. Mr. McLendon has waited long before asking an office at the hands of this people, and even In this case the nomination came to him practically unsought. But hla long equipment, hla high character, stainless Integrity and his broad and liberal temper, havo won him'his rich reward in this splendid ex pression of popular confidence and regard. Personal Courage Against Bravado. It is a fact not generally understood but one which should be well learned tn case we ever havo another crisis, that the unflinching courage nnd determination of a single man may sometimes turn back a mob in the per secution of Its prey and save a human life or defend a person's property. Two Instances will Illustrate this proposition. On Saturday evenln„ when one of the ears was going outward, a frantic and eager mob on the sidewalk caught sight of a negro on one of the seats. Instantly there was s rush for the car, and a crowding mob had Its foot on the stops demanding that tile negro be turned out to whet their vengeance. The motornmn protested, but was overpowered. Suddenly a gentleman came to the rescue and said to the motorman, "Why don't you put *this mob off the steps of the car?” The motorman replied. "I am perfectly willing to do so. but am physically unable.” The gentleman said: “Authorize mo as your deputy and 1 will put them off for you.” The motorman gladly consented, and with this In dorsement Colonel Luther Rosser reached back Into the car seized his rifle and stepping to the front firmly ad- dre.i-ed the crowd with the remark: "The first man Two Stories For Municipal Ownership. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 4, 1806. Hon. John Temple Graves, City. Dear Sir: In response to your oditorlal of today, "Municipal Ownership for Atlanta," would like to give .you a brief account of my experience with the Atlanta Gbb Light Company. • I bought a house nnd lot over a year and a half ago. The company put tho slot meter under the house and absolutely refused to consider any other location for same, and there It remains. If you and Jim Key don't win the plaudits of your follow citizens In tho fight for Justice that you are making, then I miss my guess. With beat wishes, r am very truly, J. LINTON MOORE. 70 Ormond St. Upon the heels of this Btory there comes to ns an other story of even greater significance. Two of the soundest young business men of Atlanta hoard the story told by one of the strongest and most distinguished ministers of Atlanta. It scema that the minister went off for his summer vacation and locked up hla house until his return. He was gone an even month. Two or three days after the minister's return his gas bill was presented to him. He was amazed to read thnt notwithstanding hla consecutive absence for thirty days hla gas olll was Just exactly what It was during tho last month spent at home. Tho minister took the bill to the authorities to point out tho evident mistake. Ills protest had no weight. “But It Is surely a mistake," said the preacher.«*'Dur- Ing tho past month I havo not burned a foot of gas, and no one has boen in my house within that time. It Is a mistake.” ‘’It can't be a mistake." said the gas official. "The charge Is based upon tho accurate reading of your meter, There Is the man who read It.” Tho meter roader, assured nnd confident, enme for ward to confirm the story. An Idea struck the preacher. "You say you- road ray meter?" he asked of the sub ordinate. • ”1 surely did?” was the reply. "And that Is what It registered." "Did you read It.yoursolf?” "Yes." "You went In my houso and read tho meter during the month charged In this bill." "Of course I did,” said tho subordinate, growing Im patient, while the official blandly smiled. "Very well, then," said the preacher with decision. I know how to act now." Across the street was a police man. The preacher know him and called Him ovor. "Mnke a case against this man." said ho, “upon a charge of breaking nnd entering. lie has Just confessed to having entered my house during the paat month. I havo been gone during that period. My house was locked and nailed up. No human being could have entered It without breaking locks or windows. No matter the motive. I demand ft case ngalnst him upon hla own con fcsalon for breaking nnd entering my house .during my absence." ' And then there was explaining In volublAtyle, nnd hot haste tn protesting Innocence, nnd a very small delay In altering the month's gas bill to suit the facts. This Is the story as It wbb told to us. It la a good story, and we have no sort of question that It will appeal vividly to the personal experience of hundreds of people In Atlanta who have passed through Incidents somewhat akin to tho preacher's story. Things like this tn lessor dogree have happened be fore. They are likely to happen again. The only way to break them la to make haste In falling in with the Municipal Ownership League. Send In your name as hundreds have nlrendy done. Persuade your friends to do so, and It won't be loug before this great lighting corporation will he run by tho people and for the people, nnd such Incidents of Injustice will be Im possible. The Municipal Ownership League Is growing superbly. It Is bound to will. Meanwhile until we can bring a permanent reform to this institution, is It not iHissible for the city council to authorize the appointment of some official expert whose duty It will be to give a fair and accurate reading, and a fair and accurate report of the light actually used by the consumer front month to month. It is certainly not right to trust the whole thing to a monopoly whose tactics do not Justify the full confidence of the people. Protect the people from tho monopoly until the people can own It. Protect the people from hasty and inaccurate regis ters. Lot the registers be read by an Impartial expert as it CHAS. L. CH0SEW00D WRITES CARD ABOUT PARK RESOLUTIONS The following card ban been received from Councilman Charles L. Chose wood: # To the Editor of The Georgian: In your Issue of yesterday appears an article evidently inspired by some one who had a motive in seeking its publication, that does me an Injustice. Fdf those who know <he facts In the case a correction Is unnecessary, but as the public generally may not he fully posted, I ask that you do me the justice to give these facts the same publicity that you did the article that was printed Tuesday. The affairs of the parks of Atlanta have been before tbo public in a not particularly envia ble light now for nearly two years and any steps that I may have taken look ing to changes in the present mode of appointing and governing the board have been with an honest view of bet tering the existing conditions. Every Interest thnt I have In the world Is centered In tho Third ward at and near Grant park, and certainly any thing that tends to Its Injury would be damaging to me. For that reason, If not from the standpoint of a citizen who has the Interest of the city at heart nnd from the standpoint of an official who has been honored by his people, I should do all In my power to help place the affairs of the parks In os good condition os possible. It Is not true that the original ordi nance allowing tho board to be elected by council was put through council secretly. For proof I offer the following arti cle from The Atlanta Constitution of May 22, 1906, the day after the ordi nance was Introduced: Alderman Holland and Councilman Chosewood Introduced In the meeting of the general council yesterday after noon an ordinance taking out of the hands of the mayor the appointment of the members of the park board. “There was so much discussion about the park board last year, and on pre vious occasion, that the ordinance did not come as a surprise. “Both Alderman Holland and Coun cilman Chosewood reside In the Third ward, In which Is located Grant park. "The ordinance creates a board of park commissioners consisting of seven members, the mayor and the chairman of the council park committee to con stitute two of the seven ex-officios. “The members of the board are to be elected for a term of five years. Next fall, If the ordinance becomes a law, one member will bo elected for one year, one for two years, one for three years, one for four years and one for five years. The elections thereafter will be for five years, one commissioner to be elected every year. “As the ordinance had to be referred to the ordinance committee and will not be acted upon until the next meet ing of the council, there was no dis cussion of It; but It is believed It will create some lively debates before it is passed. “Alderman Holland and Councilman Chosewood believe such a board is needed, and they think the ordinance will be passed by council." It is true that I was not the success ful bidder for the concession at the park two years ago. But It Is Just ns true that a few weeks prior to the Introduction of the ordinance the concession had been re- let for a period of five years, and I was not even a bidder for the conces sion. It Is not true that no one holding a city office Is eligible to election. The only grain of truth in the state ment on this subject Is that no one holding any other office can also hold one of these places at the same time. It Is not true that the reporters of the local papers did not get this piece of news, as will be observed by reading the article above from The, Constitu tion, and those following from 'Tho Journal and News: “An ordinance by Alderman Holland and Councilman Chosewood, creating a board of park commslslonera, consist ing of seven members, two of whom are to be the mayor and the chairman of tho council committee on parks, and the other five to be elected by the gen eral council. Referred to the commit tee on ordinances."—Journal. “Alderman Holland and Councilman Chosewood Introduced a proposed or dinance taking from the mayor ap pointment of park .commissioners and making them elective. The board Is to consist of seven members. “The ordinance provides that the mayor and chairman of the council park committee shall bo cx-officlo members. The others are to bo elected —one for one, two, three, four and five years, respectively. One commissioner Is to be elected annually. “It Is believed that It will pass. The proposed ordinance was referred to tho ordinance committee."—News. After the foregoing showing as to the incorrectness of the article In ques tlon I do not think It worth while to discuss the motives of Alderman Hol land and myself for Introducing the ordinance, or mine for Introducing the repealing ordinance. As to the connection of Councilman Oldknow with the matter, I'fall to see where he comes In. At the time that I lost the concession at Grant park he was not a member of the board, as the city attorney had ruled he could not be a member nnd at the same time hold his seat In council. Ho Is not now a member of tho board, as Mayor Woodward did not see fit to reappoint him at the beginning of the year. If he has any interest in the matter I am not aware of It. I hope that I will be pardoned for this rather long state ment, but feel that I would bo doing myself an Injustice If I failed to mnke It. Thanking you for your courtesy, I am, Yours truly, C. L.

Chicken coops have taken the place of tan bark In the building where the indoor horse shows have been held heretofore. This poultry show Is pro nounced by fanciers to be about the best In the South, and, considering tho season, the quality of fowls shown ranks well with any anywhere. Last year 2,200 birds were exhibited, but this year the number has been in creased by several hundred. Vice President Horace F.

Dr. Lee DeForest, vice president of the American DeForest wireless telegraph, has brought suit for a divorce from the wife he married less than eight months ago. He names Dewitt <\ Flanagan, millionaire president of Flanagan, Nay & Co. The wedding of the DeForests was a notable affair In the Hotel St. Regis, on February 16, last. Mrs. DeFor est was Miss Lucille Sheardown, the 17-year-old daughter of Mrs. J. T. Sheardown, of this city. Dr. DeForest, whose Invention* have made him fa mous In the scientific world, met Miss Sheardown at a reception less than a year ago. He fell in love immediate ly. He explained tn her the myste ries of wireless telegraphy. In a short time he had Installed a wireless In strument. In her home, and they ex changed messages dally. Then he pro posed by wireless and was accepted. It Is asserted that five months after their wedding DeForest learned thnt Flanagan was paying ardent attentions to his wife, and they quarreled and separated. Friends of Sinclair Upton, author of “The Jungle,’’ are authority for the statement that he is to portray one of the characters In the play written from his book. The role to which he has been assigned Is Ostrlnskl, a young workman In .a Chicago packing houso. He considers that he is thoroughly competent to portray the part, for dur ing the work of preparing his book he resided for seven weeks In Packing- town. While this Is Mb Sinclair’s first appearance on the professional stage, he had ample experience In Columbia University amateur productions, and is said to have been considered a good character actor.
