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. The Fifth District Medical Society, HI 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 auditorium and armory, and so Is there a demand need for a public comfort building and a small breathing space In the center of the city. They can be united and secured at much less expense now than at any future time. lime, when the pu awakened, to make some changes In our methods and put In motion some sociological forres that will remove the cause and prevent the development of so much crime, vice and disease. PUBLIC COMFORT BUILDING, GROUNDS WITH AN ARMORY, AND PUBLIC AUDITORIUM. While the city builds, let It build well. There Is a demand and nefed for an Tl Acquitted Father Trying to Get Place For His Accuser. 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.

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 state In terms of the law the time and terms of payment.
