Major Hubner’s Poem*.
The appearance of a new book of
poems by Charlet W. Hubner la a mat
ter of more than ordinary Interest to
Atlanta.
For Atlanta loves Charlea W. Hub
ner and holda him side by aide with
8tanton In her tender and hicb re
gard.
In all the yeara of his life In Atlan
ta be has been as beautiful in hla pri
vate life, and aa rhythmic in bis rela
tions with his fellow men as bis
verses have been lambic and true.
Charlea Hubner Is a growing figure
In the literary world. Ho has been
so modest and so little pushing that
we at home scarcely recognize the
work which he has done. Henry W.
Longfellow says of his poems that
they are simple and true. Oliver
Wendell Holmes gave high praise to
his tribute to the memory of Bayard
Taylor. Alex Stephens was one of hla
great admirers, and John G. Whittier
daclarod that Hubner’a poems always
Impressed and pleased him In an nnu-
aual way. Mrs. Sidney Lanier loved
no poem bolter than the aonnet that
Hubner wrote in 1881, nnd Edmund
Clarence Stedman eulogised his ency
clopedic knowledge and hla literary
touch. The new volume which bears
the single title of "Poems" contains
some of the Atlanta author's best and
most finished work.
It Is handsomely printed on a fine
grade of paper, and with n beautiful
binding, Is at the small price of one
dollar, a lovely souvenir of Atlanta’s
literary genius to send lu Christmas
^ting to our absent friends.
sadness the wings to bear a Uttle family to the happiest Christmas that they
have known In many yeara that are past, and perhaps the happiest Christmas
that they will know in many years that are to come.
The Georgian thanks Atlanta for Its responsive spirit toward a human
cause, and glories In this goodly city whose warm and tender heart has always
been equal to Its bright and aggressive brain.
There Is nothing better than our dear Atlanta. It has its faults for it
Is human, bnt In the grand aggregate of Its virtues, of Us achievements,
of Its progressive initiative In the youth's development, lu its stately examples
of modern architecture, and above all else in ita big and tender heart over
flowing In a thousand charities, there Iss nothing better and nothing nobler in
the galaxy of the cities than our own Atlanta.
SHOULD A CLEAN LAWYER DEFEND A CRIMINAL CLIENT
WHOM HE KNOWS TO BE GUILTY?
Should an honest lawyer defend In courts of law a criminal charged
with a heinous crime of whose guilt he Is assured?
Cheater Gillette, charged with the brutal murder of one of the tendereat
and truest little women that ever loved uu unworthy man, baa been de
fended through weary weeks of litigation by able attorneys who have dis
puted over bln guilt or Innocence and have fought the battle for Ills life
through all the various and perplexing Intricacies of the law.
It transpires now that toward the cloao of this famous trial, the attor
neys for tho defense received a fall confession from the prisoner of his com-
!>l«to guilt, and tho statement that he had with a tennis racquet In Ills
hand beaten to insensibility the Itttln woman that love.d him hotter than
her Ilfq, ami hr.<l tossed her overboard to And a grave In tho.deep bosom of
a Northern lake.
Knowing Gillette's (oul and uns)ienknhle guilt, carrying through every
later moment of the trie! the confessions of Ids violation of the law of na
ture and of God, lllled with disgust for the unspeakable cruelty, the unutter
able Cowardice, and the craven lying of their client, the attorneys for the
defense fought yet his trial to the end with relentless vigor, and lu their
dual speeches even Indulged In hitter personalities toward oaoh other over
the fate of the wretch for whom no punishment within the pale of the law
could possibly expiate Ids cowardly nnd lufcrnnl crime,
Now tho question Is, was ail this within tho ethics of the law?
It ts true ihut the lawyer hv the codes and ethics of his profession has
n right to accept ns n client a criminal charged with crime and to forco at
the bands of the jury and the attorney of the state the development and
proof of guilt !.i on Tor that the great ends of Jiittleo anil tho lam- may ho
attained.
Wo B'ippoee Hut this, custom Is based on the theory that the Impartial
law; demands that guilt must lie Hindu crystal clear before Its stern revenges
are pronounced.
But lu this cusc nnd In some other cuses which may occur or perhaps
have occurred already, lawyers of high personal character and repute,
holding In their hourts tho confession of guilt and of crimo and outrage
against society and the state, stand up buforo courts of law to defend 0110
whom they know beyond all questlou to bo unworthy of defense, to save
■ ront the gallows or from th. penitentiary one whom they positively
know to deserve the last limit of legal punishment, nnd to cheat If possible
the walling gallows of one whom they know to be Its proper victim.
There can be no quest I >n here of justice or of the majesty of law. There
• an lie no desire to bring out the facts that perfect Justice may lie done.
There Is nothing left in doubt, there Is no legal principle lo bo vindicated,
and nothing In the wide, wide world seems to Justify the defense of a crlm
lna| who has confessed hts guilt except a hair splitting theory or tho fco that
the criminal may hnve lu his pocket to pay the lawyer who helps him
cheat the gallows.
In this iierlod when we aro dealing so much with law and order and tho
reform of criminal statutes, The Georgian believes that the conduot of the
attorneys In the case of Chester Gillette presents an Interesting question
which we would like to hear discussed between representative members of
i lie Atlanta bar.
We do not know, and have no reason to believe, that any attorney
ta Atlanta has ever defended a criminal whom he knew by confession to ho
guilty of a capital offense. There Is and there can be nothing personal In
the reflections which we havo derived from this New England trial. But we
boqostly believe that Its discussion at this time liy lawyers of the highest
type would lie both of Interest and of profit, nnd that out of it may conio
an essential and ethical reform lu tho customs which prevail in other cir
cuit* and before the courts of other states.
THE "LITTLE WOMAN” GOES TO TRINIDAD.
No right appeal was ever planted in Atlanta's generous heart that did
not swiftly and softly bear Ita abundant fruit.
A week ago Tho Georgian told the' story of a brave little woman horn In
Georgia and married In Atlanta, literally fighting her way with her needle,
and with heroic courage and cheerfulness, across tho.continent to carry her
consumptive husband to a lust hope on the plains of Colorado.
It was a simple story, told without pretense am) without coloring of fact
or fancy; but It struck the heart of. a people who havo never failed to re
spond to every generous Impulse and to every opportunity for a noble deed.
Before the new week was bom the contributions began to roll in for the
little woman, traveled to far as the Ozark mountains of Arkansas, and
with every contribution came a fervent “God bless her.” from generous hearts
end generous hands that aent In their willing dollars to her help. The
contributions came from all classes and from all sections. A check from
South Carolina, a check from Florida, one from Lumpkin, one from Fitz
gerald, and from a dozen generous hands in the city of Atlanta. One noble
hearted merchant on Whitehall street wboec heart has never yet been un-
reeponstve to any genuine human need, would have been willing to contrib
ute the whole emount of the little woman's passage to the softer West
As It was, he gava nearly one-third of the ontlre amount contributed
to her cause. Lawyers in the busy stress of life, merchants prosperous
nnd moderately prosperous, professional men, clerks and abovo all em
ployees of narrow means, aud other womeu poor and struggling, aent In their
little mite tor a little woman whose heroic struggle touched the hearts of all.
The ’Frisco railroad, reached through the heart of Ita generous represen-
titlve in Atlanta, offered to send from this city a ticket to Colorado for
half fare and the balance of the amount was speedily contributed.
so It Is that generous and noble hearted Atlanta mailed on
rt-.-1-ir. sn<l a ticket that will carry to a home of hrnvr nnd heroic
THE PRESSING PROBLEM OF OUR SCHOOLS.
Tho story told in our local columns on Friday of
the crowded state of the Alanta schools, does not make
pleasant reading for the people of this twentieth cen
tury city.
Atlanta hus always been proud of its public school
system, aud we have boasted for many years of the ex
cellence of our curriculum and the conditions with
which we have surrounded our growing youth.
•But it is quite evident that Atlanta’s ever-increas
ing population has out-grown and overtaxed our pres
ent school equipment just as strongly and almost as fa
tally as the commerce of the country lias outgrown the
equipment of the railroads..
We are suffering a mental tragedy in the inability
of Atlanta to provide facilities for the use of its chil
dren. It is absolutely beyond the spirit of our modern
educational system that there should be discrimination
either In’ the city or the state in the education of its
youth, aud whenever we set out to establish public
schools, they are injurious and to that extent they are
immoral if they are not built upon the plan of providing
for all our children who enjoy the advantages which
they are intended to convey.
The story in our news columns speaks for itself.
And it is the tale which should instautly arouse Atlan
ta to its fullest and highest activity in the matter of
remedy.
We do not believe that any citizen can read the col-
Jection of facts, the story of the enrollment in the
school measured with its actual attendance, the start-
liug and magnificent increase shown in the enrollment
of succeeding .rears, without feeling that here is a prob
lem practical, present and tremendous which calls for
Atlanta's full, swift and heroic action at the earliest
possible moment.
We are following up today the story of yesterday
with additional fnets which will carry a message of
warning and of inspiration to civic action without de
lay.
Atlanta is.today at a high tide of wealth and rep-'
illation and of prosperity.
But all our gloi'ies are obscured aud our laurels are
dimmed if we permit our public schools to sink to the
level of inadequacy to the demauds of that young At
lanta upon whose shoulders rests the preservation of
our future glory and prosperity.

Georgia baa alwaya been rich lu Hh gallant and chivalric South Carol!'
nans. They are everywhere luUloruH of courtesy and models of every manly
virtue' and of every civic grace. They embody nnd perpetuate the tradl-
tlona of a race that have enriched all the mnnuurs and the morals of tho
republic. It Is a great race that lias produced bravo men and beautiful wo
men and made history In heroic fnahlon for a hundred years. It Is a race
that Imn given to the republic Ita most Illustrious statesmen nud has fur-
nlshed one of the noblest miracles of recuperative power In the annals of
the times. For South Carolina today vies with Massachusetts in its manu
facture*. while In Its agricultural progresa It leads in proportion almost
every commonwealth lu the South. It la separated from Georgia by a stream
narrow as division and liquid as difference which has been always the tic
that bound ua rather than the barrier that divided.
Georgia may well rejoleo In n citizenship which Is enriched from two
such noble and, historic streams of iicoplo us those who celebrate their na

And so. lifting our glasses go South Carolina, where glasses will be In

and wish for them a happy evening full of Joyous reminiscence of their native
glories and of renewed loyalty to the adopted state which cherishes them
