Editor Tlmes-Enterprise, Thomas

Dear Sir:
Anent your able editorial In the
Sunday's Issue, may I make a few
remarks?
I was especially Impressed with the
Idea developed in the fifth paragraph
of your article and the more so as
It was in perfect accord with my own
Ideas on the Subject; and in this
brief letter I with to go a little fur
ther than you went in reference" to
the matter of “Indecent pictures
which fire the flames of lust.”

negro dives and places of resort do
we find the pictures which should
be banished now and forever. If we
wish to avoid what caused Atlanta
her trouble; but that on our bill
boards and In many of our adver
tisements, both in the newspapers
and in the magaxlnes, there dally ap
pear pictures which, la their very
nature and purpose, are bad; whose
sole purpose Is to advertise, by ap
pealing to the lower nature and baser
passions of man; and In whose ap
pearance In^thls section ot our coun

stant menace of assault.
Not two weeks ago, 1 had occasion
to overhear the comments made by
a gang of small negroes

medicine advertisement, and was !nv
mediately convinced by those com.
ments that In the continued exposure
of such Illustrations there was grave
danger.
I am not one of those who would
