THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. MONDAY, OCTOBER ! SOME LETTERS FROM GEORGIAN READERS ON VARIOUS TOPICS ! naSANIZATIONS ARE NEEDED, .... pditor of The Georgian: T Thl recent trouble In Atlanta ha, Tn ' mrtli many suggestions a, ^“remedy, a” varying more or less t" . ’inline a, to what the remedy their '’P ln a fj other Important questions '*• ..hleh we are all alike Interested. It " .«nW each person from his or her ^ Individual standpoint and the con- 0 , every one depends upon his tl»S“ n capacity for seeing the matter .11 lt« different phases, taking Into 1" .Lr.tlon the causes that have »"»f* r d such effects, and the best P ?.S of correction. Not only what S.n sets out of life, but also what he m . fnto life, his usefulness as a cltl- pot hhl nower for good, for aiding In Storing P about ‘hose conditions that War”* hg _ reate ,t degree of hap- and contentment to the Mop e, Slmmds upon his ability to realise the s „ applied to such matters, his "i for humanity and his Judgment In means of correction. d *tVe all have our Ideals, and the at . .Jment »f the Ideal constitutes the 2522* of H* llf0 thu ® tnkln * lu the Ideal. While It must be ‘.muted that the Ideal depends some- *d™! M *d " the inherent qualities of Jhe individual. It Is nevertheless true ihat lt ls largely molded and fashion- 2bv early training and environment, The roost worthless and mischievous Ian uving might have been fashioned ‘ us efu], respected, law-abiding im«n by Ptoper training during Childhood. I do not believe there la an i.i.ntlon to this. The good man .has Mt followed the bent of his Incllna- but by persistent effort has con quered his evil propensities, becoming Keif marten making them do Ills S rather than being a slave to them I once heard a gentleman boast Sit be would never “be a dnankart," that the very taste and smell of In toxlcatlng drinks were repulslye. An. other replied, “Then you deserve no credit for not being a drunkard. I have an Insatiable thirst and have I*«r yet been under the Influence of J, ” . drink. If you and I could ex change natures, perhaps there might £“Se more drcSLrd In the world." What then Is the logical deduction? Slronly that there Is but one place to which wo can look with the hope of success for correction and prevention, Ed that lx the hom '- True this will fake tun*, end during this time there muat be some restraining Influence for protection agalnat the evil that now Mists but this restraining Influence ■c»n have no part whatever In this work of refinement. The taw has never made a man one whit a better man: that Is not the purpoae of law. And vet our reformers of almost every class think, talk and act as If this reforma tion was the sole purpose of law. We have been endeavoring for hundreds of years, not bnly to make the. world better morally, but also religiously, by the making and enforcement of laws. We may imprison the criminal so that he can commit no further crimes, but by so doing he Is not made one particle a better man, hla conceptions of life are not improved or hla Ideals elevated. To the man with correct Ideas, hla life based upon truth and Justice, resitting the relations of man to man, It makes no difference so far as his life Is con cerned whether there is a written law asslnat murder or any other crime. HI, life Is not actuated by fear, but Is founded upon something better and more substantial. The only effect that the law has upon him who would vlo. Isle It Is restraint from fear of de. tectlon and punishment, acting only aa a protection to society without In ths least sense elevating the standard of morality. . . .. We must look to our homes, to the early training of the children, to the molding of character, as the only hope. And now I ask In all candor and kind ness, la It not a fact that this one all- important queatlon la today receiving far less attention than almost any other that might be mentioned? Per haps at first thought this may seem harsh and untrue, but I believe that after proper Investigation and .consid eration every sans man and woman trill agree that such Is the case. It la true we have good schools, and they are growing better every day; thou sand! and thousands of dollars are be ing spent In equipping them. In the se curing and training of the best teach- era in the best methods, but It must be remembered that the school, how ever good, cannot do the work of the home. The purposes of the two are entirely different. The object of home training Is the making of character, while that of the school Is the equip ping of the individual with the means for the better accomplishment of the purposes of life and character. In every other department of life there are formed societies and organi sations of every name and description for the purpoae of devising plans for the accomplishment of soma object. Tho fathers spend their evenings at their halls or at prayer meetings while their hoys are running on the streets subjected to the degrading Influences of every evil the wicked one can devise. The mothers are at the council cham bers of the daughters of this, that and the other, their aid societies, etc., etc., looking after the Interests of every body else while their own little ones are left to the care of colored nurses who have no more Idea of life than a goat has of psychology. »e, the people, are responsible for the undesirable Conditions that exist, rot Intentionally, not because we wish to have It so (I have great faith In humanity, I believe the world Is at neart honest), but because of our In- pincrenee and our Incapacity *n grasp the siiuatlon, to realize the truth, and m many Instances our lack of "nerve" |o apply i he remedy. This Incapacity is not natural; itself has grown out of misconceptions the frutt of laziness. Jl0re “noth j. E. LOVELESS. Arms and ths Millionaire.

This wee granted .temporarily without liear< fin the hearing .two weeks ago, the Judge dismissed the bill outright as to tho main contentions* modified a third In permitting both factions to alternately occupy the house pending definite decision as to the rights of titles to property. Titles to prop erty Is yet hdd m reserve by the r but rulings on other point* assures to tho loyalists. The Missouri case Is what similar to the Tennessee case. A temporary Injunction, involving one piece of property, has been granted, liut not vet heard. The Texas case Is similar to the Atlanta case, only was sued out by the unionists. It has not been heard. The Atlanta case la the first suit that has been heard and definitely passed upon by a civil court. It la a complete victory for the loyal element in the Cumberland Presbyterian church. It may be of Interest to your readers generally to know that fully two-thirds or throe-fourths of the commnnMlnts of tbe Cumberland church are uncompromisingly ncainst thu proposed union. A majority of the ministers and generally ths smaller presbyteries favored the union, and 1 able to carry the question by a small Jorttr In the ecclesiastical courts or as semblies.

To the Editor of Tho Georgian: I mar bo a little late with a sugges tion for the safe-guarding of our lady folks against the brutal attacks of the negro, and (in graver cases) that of some wblte skin brute also. Your suggestion to the ministry, of both races, to preach continually against such crimes. Is a good one and one that will have weight with the ma jority of the black men, but there la a class of negroes, Ilka some animals, that kindness to them will be labor thrown away. Nothing but fear of local or bodily punishment will Influ ence them. . .. Some suggest on, thing and others something else. Now, let us see If we can't find a simple. Inexpensive plan that will, If put Into effect, control the vicious element with that degree of fear that will eliminate from thetr minds even the thought of molesting our women of their own color either. At ths last election we had registered In Fulton county about 13,000 voters. Now, Mr. Editor, suppose we request the good sheriff and his deputies to select i rom the registration hooks one-sixth, or about 3,000, of ths best registered men and awesr them In as deputies at a salary of 32 per year; fix their bond at 3100. The salary, be It ever so small, will validate the bond. . Thelt* badge of office will permit them to go armed and will also authorise them to stop any man, black or white, at any time or any place, and find who they are, where they are from, what they are doing, and where they are go ing. If they "prove up." let them pass on, but In the meantime the good citi zen officer haa had an opportunity of taking a mental picture of them, and If the fellow commits any crime In that neighborhood his Identification la al most a certainty. This plan can be carried out at a cost of about 34,000 per year, the vi cious element driven from this part of the state at least, and Fulton county a women can walk (free from fear) upon our streets and highways and Fulton county will be one of the beat policsd counties In the world. Two thousand conssrvattve citizens of this county will meet no trouble In making bond. If perehance any one abueea hls authority, Are him and get a good man In hls place. Let It be publicly known that Fulton county haa : 1.400 police and In 30 days this county won't havs a dangerous criminal with in her borders. PAT QUINN. AN EXAMPLE NEEDED. To the Editor of The Georgian: In troublous times like these the con servative people Instinctively turn to a strong, safe and sane leader, such aa The Georgian 1ms proven Itself to under any anil all circumstances. For this reason the people know that you stand for law and order. We can not tolerate a spirit of lawlessness, which seems about to enthrall us at this time. The way, and the only way, to atop It Is to take prompt action through the courts of the land. We must appeal to them, and to them only, Just now. I notice that some two or three hundred arrests have been made for crimes which, under our laws, amount to only a misdemeanor. Near ly all of those arrested are guilty of Inciting a riot, or carrying concealed weapons. These coses can be tried In the city court of Atlanta, the machin ery of which can be gotten In opera tion In a few hours. Were this court called In session and some steps taken to punish the guilty ones, the people, at least the law-abiding element, will ba fully satisfied. The prompt and vigorous action of Judge Broyles In Imposing heavy sen tences on the mob of Saturday night had a wholesome effect. Now. If the city court would convene and remain in session until all the guilty were tried and punished, there would be no cry of the delay of the law, and the people have no excuse to resort to mob law. Our laws are adequate, and only need prompt and fearless enforcement. If ths good citizens of this community knew that all offenders would bo pun ished as fast as arrested. It would neve a salutary Influence In quieting the restless and uneasy feeling of the citi zens. I simply offer this suggestion for what It la worth. * R. R. SHROPSHIRE. 8HALL WE HIDE THE NEGRO'S CRIME8? To the Editor of The Georgian: One reader and admirer of The Georgian has noted with regret for the post few weeks the falling off. and up until the last fsw days, the almost total absence of comment on the negro problem In your splendid paper, and I am safe In saying that I am not alone in my views of this fact. This one feature of The Georgian, Its stand, or rather the stand Its editor has taken on this subject, has won for hls paper a place In the hearts of the true Geor gian that will not ba loat so long as the virtue and safety of our Southern women Is pleaded for In Ita columns. In this morning's Constitution ap peared an editorial advocating the dis continuance of extras being published gtvlpg details of assaults. While this policy may be a good one from one point, namely, the quelling of the pres ent a tats of excitement and disturbance, I wish to state that one person who. perhaps, has had this curse to come a little nearer home to him than the au thor of this special editorial, thinks It Is a crying shame that a crime of this volume of blackness and carrying with It the horror that It does, should be smothered, aa It were, and kept In the qutet In order that a helpless Ian-, with a few slow. Indifferent policemen to represent It, should have a chance to try and bring the negro to Justice. God knows that I am a man who re spects our laws, but the law la only the voice and will of the people. Ours Is law for the people, by the people, and Diamonds Stones, loose or mounted, purest quality and finest t ,,r » ar o here in abundance °tj ymir choosing.

To the Editor of The Georgian: All praise to The Atlanta Constitu tion, The Journal and The Georgian for the stand taken In the recent trou ble. Some very wise utterances have been In each. But I feel, sir, that more praise Is due The Georgian than either. The Georgian has done mors to make the leading negroes come to the front and take a stand wit* the whites. That is a great step forward, In my opin ion. The leading negro preachers and educators MUST take a very decided stand against rape and other crimes of their*race, and the leading whites must condemn mobs. And Atlanta is going to close the dives! God grant It. But when she closes them all there will not be a single saloon left, for all saloon, are ^DBETTER. Arlington, Qa. A POEM TO HER.

The press can—and will eventually— do more to put a stop to these crimes and restore our people to safety than any other medium, and at the present rate of Increase In the number of at tacks and assault* committed It will not be long ere the wife or daughter of some of the editors (who are now of fering suggestions as to what shall be done to stop lynching and protect the negro, you might aa well say, as this Is what tt amounts to) will fall a prey to the beast, then we shall be given suggestions In another direction—pro vided he can leave the chase long enough to resume hie work, and ha* the heart to do so. The present status of affairs Is not at all an unlooked-for thing among any one with half an eye to the future. It has been plainly In sight for months gone by, yes, for years. Further more. there Is only one remedy that will ever'bring safety—complete rid- dranee and an elimination of the cause. To obtain this the negro must go. This Is a problem so large that It Is dis missed almost as soon aa suggested In •vary conversation where It Is brought up for discussion. However, while the task Is growing greater all the time, the absolute necessity and essentiality of this movs Is being more clearly manifested each day by the conduct of the black brutes all over the country, In vour mind, Just for a moment. Im agine ths negro out of the United States, a country filled with people of your own blood, people whose hand you can tak* as you would a brother’s. Your wives and daughters at home when you are away at the duties of the day or night. They have no fears of being left alone, no fears that the crime, the thought or Intimation of which hows the head and causes the flush of shame to appear, or death, whleh Is preferable, will be their lot while you are away even for an hour. Can a price too dear be named for the restoration of our land from the pres ent hell to a garden of such beauty as It would he? Would the entire treas ury of the United States, with an equal amount borrowed and expended to re move the negro and colonise him In Africa or elsewhere, be too great a sum to pay for ths freedom of our women? No! A thousand times no. With ths negro out of the way. many avenues and lines of labor would bf offered the poorer class of white peopre In our cities and slsewhere, who are now In need of the work that Is only given to negro workmen and negro women. Mr. Editor. In behalf of my mother and sister*, whom Ood knows I would lay down my life to protect against this evil, end In behalf of every pure and Innocent woman and girl of this beau tiful land of ours, I wish to enter my request that the crusade which you commenced prior to your trip to the East be resumed: that.

Inclosed find application for memliershlp In tlie Municipal Ownership League. The Applicant Is slid always has been a Ann believer In ronntclpal ownership of public utilities whenever practicable, and at this time, when municipal control of gas and electric light plants Is being champion ed by Tho Georgian, and many rlttsens of Atlanta, It becomes evident that some are In favor of Including tbe street rail, wty system. It Is time that stringent measures be tdopted •compelling the Georgia Hallway Company to properly equip their cars against many fatal accidents that have occurred, and are sure to lie repented, In Atlanta so long as these Juggernaut affairs without fenders go dashing through our streets. From personal experience. If the ones, tlon be asked the average citizen. "Are the street cars equipped with fenders? the general reply Is ''why, 1 suppose so!' when.

To the Editor of The Georgia^- Your kind editorial treatment of mo In connection with the subject of extending the Western and Atlantic rallrond to our Georgia aea eoeat, and a recent odltorialin whlehyou honor me with being the "father of the suggestion to extend the state road to tho ten," prompts me to thank you. And i few word* of o personal nature concern- ng my connection with this movement may jot be out of "order." All I can properly claim sa an originator s that on September 6. 1901, I wrote and published In the DeKnlh New Era advo cating tho Idea of outlining a plan to secure, the loner, materiel and money for the work, which then seamed to m# most feaalble. I note that Mr. Erwin haa writen you that ha made aucb suggestion In 1360-WM. I did not see that or any other suggestion, as I was then s "small boy." a refuses from Atlnnta, while Mr. Sherman was "heading that way. The suggestion, If made at that time, was perhaps s little Inopportune —but a good one In essence. All I can claim as an "originator ’ In this matter Is that, while reading Alexander Hamilton Stephena' two railroad lettera to Professor William Rutherford (1167), In Cleveland's Life of Rtrphens, my mlnil was enlightened sa to the facts of the history of oar etate road, and In the light of thsao facta, knowing that then (September, 1901) there were frequent newspaper suggestions to sell the road, and reflecting upon the probnhte depreciation of the rond ns It now stands. at tne ehd of the lease In 1SS0, ami without having ever heard or read any sug gestion, I wrote, urging the people of Geor gia to begin this great work, and for six years I have sought every opportunity I could find by tougue and pen to spread the Idea abroad "like rain." I congratulate yon for your prompt ac ceptance of the truth nnd wisdom of this proposition, which, from the moment It was presented to you, and In all the phases of Ita discussion you have helped to for- ard to general acceptance and approval by rery power nt four command. If tha enfernrlalng nnd patriotic sons of eorgla can lie brought to consider thla leatlon aa a purely Georgia progiosltlon, resting on Its own facts, separately and apart from any Ideal of "general state own ership," "federal ownership and control, etc., which some may throw out as "rub- blab" to Impede the movement. 1 have con fidence that this “piece of new grouud" will be cleared up and mAde productive. If authorised next summer and pushed to jmpletlon by or before 1920 wo might hope >r a clear Income of at least 32,000,000 a year, and then— To the Editor of Tha Georgian: It seem*, from the newspapers and from the city, county and state offi cials, that there Is only one question of Importance before them nnd the people of this city and county at the preaent time, and that Is to find some one to punish for wtyit several thou sand people did on the night of the 23d Instant; while the real criminals who had assaulted the wives and daughters of our neighbors and held every unprotected white woman In a state of dread and terror hitherto un known In any civilised community, go almost unnoticed. What Is the matter with our people? Do they forget In a day the. great wrong our women have suffered? It may be said that something must be done to restore business confidence at the North and East; and, there fore, everything must be done and said that will have a tendency to placate those sections of our common country. But I can not believe that our people are ready to measure the outrages that have been done our womanhood In dol lars and cents. I do not believe they are ready to rest our civilisation on a money bast*. I see by the paperi that the deaths resulting from the unfortunate out break are reported as being thirteen. This Is daplorable, and I regret It more than word* can expreas, but these are dead and a generous public Is making provision tor the families of those who were slain, while on the other hand there are a greater number of refined, eensltve women In this county alone who have passed through a thousand deaths, and must continue to carry that terrible body of death with them until some friendly disense shall appear to release them. And yet we hear noth ing now of the detestable brute* who committed these awful outrages. No rewards have been offered by the city, county or state, to far a* I am aware, for many of them. No great public meetings of good citizens have been held and resolutions passed offering protection to the Innocent, helpless women of our community. Mr. Editor, the white people of this community are as law-abiding and peaceable citizens as can ba found In any of the state* of this Union, and are only driven to occasional acts of lawlessness by attacks on the sanctity of their home* by negro brutes who stalk abroad In tne land by day and by night. It has always been held, by all enlightened people, to be the duty of every community to protect the homee. In fact from time immemorial the law has ever recognized the right of every man to defend hla family and home agalnat felonious assaults. So. we have a situation where a large number of the most diabolical crimes In tha onnala of history have been committed by an order of criminal! lower than brutea on the one aide and an unlawful outbreak on the part of outraged and frensted citizens on tha other, who so far forgot themselves, by reason of the great wrongs which Had been done them and their helpless ones, that they rose up and In the heat of passion committed offenses which no sane man or law-abiding citizen can or will undertake to Justify, but can only deplore. Let us treat this matter aa It de serves. Let our authorities turn their at attention to the capture and punish ment of these dangerous brutea, and to the protection of our Innocent woman hood, and no expensive military force will be necessary to keep order.

To the Editor of The Georgian: I have been taking Tho Georgian from the first Issue and am delighted with It. For gome year* I lived in Col lege Park, On., and may say a neigh bor to Colonel John Temple Graves. This may cause me to have a moro kindly feeling for the paper than I otherwise might have had. Yet, I assert that It stands the pier of any political paper that I am ac quainted with. Its high moral tone. Its pure social and political utterances, ts championship for the protection of our wives, mothers and daughters, calls forth my heartiest Indorsement. The enlargement of police forces and the doing away with low-down negro dives on Decatur and Peters streets and oth er places In the city la good, as far aa It goes, but these measures atop short of what should be done. Decatur and Peters streets have drog shops Hint ore called decent. Ood pity the en comium. Many times I have had bus iness that called me along these streets and I have seen' low-down white folks and negroes crowding the counters of these so-called decent shops, like files swarming around a putrid carcos. Here in these debs of Infamy brutal negroes fill up on red liquor until they are fit ted for any meanness that their brutal passions may dictate. Let the great city of Atlanta close up theee dives, os well as all others. I see but two courses to pursue with these lawless, brutal hords. One Is to put every Idler (be they white or black) in the chain gang. The other It, send them across the Mason and Dixon line. And when any one assaults a woman or girl (whits or black), hang them as soon as the law of the land will permit. This Is a white man’s government, and the darky should have no voice In making the laws, either in the legis latures or at the polls. If he wishes to educate hie children, let him work and make the money to pay thetr way through the negro schools and colleges, and let all of these schools find col leges come under the supervision of the state commissioner and hls help- the temperance crusade.

To ths Editor of Ths Georgian: In your dispatch to tho editor i' The New York World, publlahed In your Issue of ths 34th Inst., you failed to name what la probably one of the moat frequent causes of assaults on white women by negro men. You men tioned the Indecent pictures In ths dives, but what of those that are car ried In the poekst? The writer has evi dence enough to convince him that from aome source negro youths and young men have obtained photographs of nude white women which they carry with them. These they feast their eye« upon until it la likely their paastona ara aroused to ths point that an oppor tunity of assaulting some white woman rs. May The Georgian long live. Yours truly, “ A.

To what extent the practice of carrying these plciurux In the pocket prevails the writer knows not, but that It prevails to aome ex tent In Atlanta he does know. It might open the eye* of the citizens of Atlanta If they knew the extent to which It prevails. Devise and carry Into effect aome means by which theao lascivious pictures (tin be gathered In and further supply prevented and you will have pulled ane tooth of the viper. OEGRGIAN. Columbia, S. Sept. 27, 1906. LYNCHING HISTORY. To the Editor of The Georgian: Of nil the frenzied writing In the last fifteen years on lynching but little has been aans and the truth. We have been a “spectator” at nine teen lynching!, 18 Africans and one American: the American a railroad en gineer named Moore, being the only- innocent one In' the entire lot. The woman he was accused of Injuring proving to be a common prostitute and blackmailer. It waa this awful mistake that saved the life of Tom Wolfolk to run for months through the courts: Tom waa charged with having killed nine of hls father's family In one night with an ax, and the charge was true. The main reason for our having at tended as many lynching bees, aa they used to be caleld. we were for 23 years connected ■ with the Georgia press. Yea. we have seen 18 negroes lynch ed, everyone for the dastardly crime of rape, every one guilty. We have seen them lynched In every style from plain shooting to cutting In twain with a cross-cut saw. In fact, the very first | bee we aietnded, the victim went by ■the saw route. J. N. HALEY. 23.
