A STATE COMMISSION ON CHIME, PAUPERISM,
INSANITY AND MENTAL DEGENERACY
By DR. R. R. KIME.
In view of the past and present con
ditions, It Is jtime we as a state were
doing something In regard to the study
and prevention of crime. A great deal
has been written lately and numerous
suggestions made, yet we are about as
much In the Hark as ever In regard to
the local cause of crime In our midst.
No one, so far a* I know, has made any
detailed study of the subject and pre
pared to speak with authority, based on
scientific, systematic investigation, un
less It be some of the members of the
colored race. I dare say not a single
person in the city or state can tell us
where the negro "rapists" were born;
what their home environments and
surroundings were In their youth;
where they were educated, or If illiter
ate, what environment and forces were
the Immediate causes that led them to
such fiendish, brutal acts.
We need light and knowledge that we
may act Intelligently. Can any one tell
us how many of the negroes or whites
In the ehalngang arc illiterate? At
what age they wore first convicted and
sent to the state's school for educating
and developing criminals? We need
some facts that will open the eyes of
the public as to the real cause or causes
of crime, pauperism. Insanity, etc.
We have been dealing In generalities
and fine-spun theories, with various
suggestions as to cause and means of
correcting these conditions, but have
we any collected accurate data or Any
scientific demonstration as to the pri
mal causes that have produced the ex
isting conditions?
These criminals, paupers, etc., are
not of spontaneous origin: they must
have soil suitable for their develop
ment. AVhat of (he soil? What ele
ments tend to produce evil, and from
whence do they come’ How do they
affect society and the Individual?
These are all questions of Importance
to the state and should be Investigated
by the state. A commission of two
physicians, two lawyers, two ministers
and two teachers, appointed by the
state on account of their fitness and
qualification for the work, could bo of
vast benefit In the future In the study
of these questions. They could collect
dnta that would be of Immense value
to the state. The state should appro
priate sufficient funds annually for the
use of the commission, so that It could
accomplish Its work In an efficient
manner. Money thus appropriated
would be well Invested, and would be
of Immense value to the state In the
future.

THEN KILLS HIMSELF
Canadian Commits Suicide
in His Room in Chicago
Hotel.
Chicago, Oct. 24.—After running
through with a considerable fortune In
a year, William 8. Stewart, of Toronto,
Ont.. shot and killed himself last night
In his room at the Sorntoga hotel. Ho
as 80 years of age and Inherited his
father's estate on the latter's death.
Stewart came to Chicago yesterday
morning with Mr. and Mrs. D. O. Cloud,
of Rochester, N. Y., who occupied an
adjoining room at the hotel. A shot
was heard in Stewart’s room and Mrs.
Cloud Informed the hotel manager.
Cloud and his wife were detained pend
ing the Inquest today.
WROTE OF HIS DEATH
OF HA'
at Its. meeting In Atlanta, October 18,
1906, passed the following resolutions;
“I. That we Indorse and recommend
the appointment of a commission by
the legislature of the state of Georgia
for the study and Investigation of the
causes of crime, pauperism. Insanity
and mental degeneracy.
“2. Said commission to consist of two
physicians, two ministers, two lawyers
and two teachers, selected on account
of their fltness and qualification for the
work.
“J. It shall be the duty of this com
mission to study and Investigate the
causes of crime, pauperism, Insanity,
etc., from a practical, scientific stand
point. as they relate to both the white
and colored races, and make annual re-
ports of their work.
“4. We recommend the appropriation
of at least 86,000, and so much annually
as Is needed, for the use of the com
mission, so ns to make Its work most
efficient and for the dissemination of
such knowledge as will be of benefit to
the various professions and general
public of the state.”
It Is hoped many other societies, sci
entific bodies, business associations, or-
ganlxatlons and private Individuals will
Indorse and urge the appointment of
Audi a commission.
Too much of our time, energy and
money are spent In dealing with the
effect rather than the cause of these
conditions. Our Jails, penitentiaries,
Insane asylums, hospitals and criminal
courts are at best but dealing with ef
fects of antecedent causes. If we would
spend the same amount of time, energy
and money In studying the cause of
these conditions and Institute means of
prevention, we would save much suffer
ing, disease and degeneration. Our ad
vancement and Improvement as a race
Is materially retarded by our method
of dealing with these and other socio
logical subjects. We fhol away too
much time In dealing with results rath
er than hunting for and removing the
cause, and much of our work is as
senseless os It would bo to try to dam

Mobile, Ala., Oct. 24—In a half-pint
flask floating In Mobile river at Chlca-
sabogga creek, found by a gentleman
and turned over to the bridge tender
of the Louisville and Nashville rail
road at that place and written on a
small piece of brown paper with a lead
pencil was this note:
■John Parker, drowned In Mobile
T. L. Owens,, who .was acquitted In
the criminal, branch of tho superior
court Tuesday of the charge of miscon
duct toward his daughter, Bertie, ap
peared before Recorder Broyles Wed
nesday morning In company with his
wife to hsk advice as to what disposi
tion to make of tho girl.
Owens declared his daughter could
never live in his home again, but he
asked the aid of the authorities In find
ing a suitable place for her. Judge
Broyles Instructed Probation Officer
Gloer and Miss Sanderson, police ma
tron, to lake the girl In charge nnd
try Rnd get her a homo. She will be
held in tho police station until this Is
done.
Miss Sanderson slated she hod se
cured a position for the girl .and also
hnd a home In view. Mrs. Owens ob
jected to the matron having anything
to do with the arrangement, hut Judge
Broyles told her Miss Sanderson was
doing Just what waa right In the mat
ter.
The Atlanta Sociological Society
urges the necessity for a small central
park with public comfort building ar
ranging for baths, cheap lunches, read
Ing room, a band atand for night con
certs and a roof garden for reat and
recreation of hot summer evenings.
Such a place properly arranged and
equipped would be a blessing to the
city and give rest and relaxation to
many who need It.
It would be of benefit and value to
working boys and girls, and keep many
young men from places of vice and
Immorality. ,
It would be a great benefit to vlsl
tors and shoppers coming to the city,
nnd keep many men from going to the
saloons and being led Into vice.
As It Is strangers In the city and
men going down town have no place to
rest for a few minutes except on the
street corners or In the saloons.
Atlanta Is no longer a country town,
but n rapidly-growing city with many
tall buildings and more to follow that
wilt cut out the fresh air and sunshine
which will make a public comfort
grounds nnd building a necessity.
Central property Is growing more
valuable every year; all desirable
places are being built up, so now Is
the time to act.
Let the city appropriate a good sum
and then add to It by a public sub
scrlptton. Lot evory one work to
gether for the good of Atlanta and se-
cure these much-needed Improvements,
We suggest that the newspapers take
up this subject and add a popular sub
scription to the amount which should
bo appropriated by the city council nnd
secure an auditorium-armory, public
comfort building and grounds, which
will be a blessing to our citizens and
an advertisement to the city.
SOCIETY'S NEXT MEETING.
At the next meeting of the Atlanta
Sociological Society the subject—“Al

1. Prohibition.
2. Abolish saloons, leaving wholesale

Gainesville, Ga., Oct, 24.—Judge Kim

the Injunction of Martin et al. va. the
board of commissioners of Hall county,
and rendered hla decision,
It will be remembered that a number
of citizens asked the court to enjoin
the commissioners from building
bridges at the Seven Islands ford and
the Savage ferry. The grand Jury
at the special term of the superior court
In September passed resoluttonsagalnst
building these bridges and censured
two of the commissioners, Judge Dyer
and Mr, Jarrett, severely for letting the
contracts.
Judge Klmsey held that the levy for
taxes to build these bridges was Illegal
because the levy reads for “bridges'
and "roada" 'jointly, whereaa the levy
should have boon separated. He also
hold that the contracta were Illegal
because the advertisements did not
