A MSMAOI Of ATZJUVTAZ POLITICAL ATMOMUMZ.
Thera I* a threat in the political atmosphere of a renewal of tbe old
acaodal* of the police department, which were ao long a blot and menace
to the politics of Ufa beat and claaaeat political city of th* South.
Atlanta baa bean fortunate above Its sister cities In 4b* Integrity,
harmony and th* eminent respectability of its government The only thing
in our history of time past which has smacked of tha star chamber and
tha “machine" waa the scandal and wrangle of the old police commis
sion In the days of its factions and bitterness.
God forbid that we should have In Atlanta a return of en evil wblcb
we bad thought to b* paralysed If hot eradicated. The police depart
ment la one which, above all thing*, abould be held high end clear of
politics and free from tha domlaatlon and designs of politicians. It Is
necessary to the laat degree tbat the guardians of the life end property end
order of our city should be cboeen without dependence upon any man or
any faction of men. It la essential tbat the police department should be
fra* and untouched by any obligation except Its civic duty sod the wel
ter* of the people.
Th* eltlsens of this twentieth eentufy city should rise promptly sud
resolutely In delinks and determined rebellion against any effort to re
establish the police department aa a political machine. We may be mis
taken in the apprehension tbat thla I* about to be done, and we have no
desire to do Injustice to any mao or any set of men. but we remember so
keenly and so protestlngly tbe old regime In which tbe police factions bed
Atlanta by tha throat In a feud aa fierce as that of the Capulets and the
Montagues, that we are wilting to risk something of deliberation In the
well meant and public spirited warning against any repetition of that old
regime.
We have to sty In this connection simply this: That tne press Is more
than ever a representative of the people, that Its engine of warfare Is not
persecution but publicity, and tbat so honest newspaper tbat feel* It* re
sponsibility and loves the people It represents, can fail to do It* duly fear
lessly and frankly la tbe exposure of any evil which threatens or which
actually exists.
We earnestly tout tbat tbe police department' of Atlanta may be
conducted frankly and fairly In the clear open of public-observation and
that no phase of our municipal govarnment should fear the direct and
searching gaze of the people for whom It stands.
DELPBTN DELMAS’ SECOND OPPORTUNITY.
We have written once In these columns of a great opportunity which
Delphln N. Delmaa, the California lawyer, fronted and well nigh realized
at the national Democratic convention In 8L Louis.
As It appears to us now, Delpbtn N. Dolmas fronts another oppor
tunity of equal If not greater scope when he rises to make tha conclud-
toy aneeeh fnr thn-dofandanl In tho trial of Harry Thaw.
And the opportunity lies now not so much In the skillful ind plauaF
ble defense which the eloquent attorney may make for his client upon
the basis of the "unwritten law,” or upon the more or less tenable plea
of emotional inaanlty. It la to be expected that the lawyer will exert bis
skill and Impress his personality and his convlotlons upon the Jury', and
that hit place among the advocatea of the great city with whom hence
forth he hat ranked himself, will depend ppon the measure of his success
In saving his client from the gallows, or upon the force of the eloquenco
and argument which he displays In bla behalf.
And there I* much which the trial baa developed to elicit a sympa
thy and consideration which the public has not felt for Harry Thaw be
fore. Whatever the previous character of this young man may have
been, the evidence has established the fset thst bis Intentions were hon
orable toward the Tittle woman he ha* made Ms wife—that he offered her
not a dlahonorable relationship but a high and secure position ns the wad
ded wife of a man who waa willing to glv* her hla name and his protec
tion.
And when Harry Thaw heard, aa the explanation of her refusal to
marry him, the sorrowful story of her betrayal by Stanford White, hla
subsequent attitude toward her cannot fail to command the rqppect. If not
the sympathy of most men He covered with the mantle of a more than
ordinary charity tire' corrupt and dishonorable love which had cast ahaae
upon this mere child In her teens. He remembered her unfortunate girl
hood which led her an easy victim to a seducer's wiles. And ho did not for
ge! thst the ovll Impetus of an unnatural mother, and of n whirling and
wicked environment rushed her Into a life which she did not seek and to
which she unwillingly yielded, and fnr which her loyal lover pilled her
and forgave her and sought with persistent and earnest effort to lift her
up to a better level of womanhood aa bis wife.
All these things the famous and eloquent lawyer from the Paclflo
elope who has come to live In New York may touch with the eloquence
of the advocate and the conviction of the man.
But to the mind of thoughtful observers of this gruesome but none
the less famous trial, the grand dramatic opportunity which Delphln N.
Delmux fronts, la the opportunity to point the moral of the life of Stan
ford White.
No matter how much Jerome In hla relentless questions may blacken
tile fame of Kvelyu Thaw: no matter how much of condemnation may-
lie visited upon the previous life of her defendant husband; no matter
what clrrumataocea may arine lo condemn the defendant lu the final
tragedy which coat a human life—the reeding public of America hat been
■hocked aud startled beyond even the measure of tht*,scnsatlonal age by
the disclosures of the life and practices of Stanford White.
Measured by the evidence which It already In and awnrn to, thla waa
the most monstrous and the most msgnlBcent libertine who has been
uncovered In the century In which we live. Not the Dorglas of Italy
were more scientific In murder, more skillful and more pitiless In In
trigue. than this brilliant architect, by the testimony of hla victims, waa
relentless and Irresistible In hla organized and well prepared search for
the honor and the virtue of the young and unebrrupted girls of the great
metropolis In which he lived.
By nil the reeorda sworn to up to the present time, this man was a
sybarite of debauchery. He was the most oriental and luxurious rake In
hla subtle and splendid equipment for tbe ruin of women that New York
lisa ever known, at least under the light of publicity.
The man seems to have bad a very genius for female destruction.
All the splendid talents which had advanced him so rapidly and sus
tained him ao permanently among the brilliant architects of the greatest
dty of the western continent—all the brilliant gifts of mind anil the ex-'
qulslte charm of gculal manner with which nature had equipped him—
ull the magnificence of hla personal appearance, and ill the aedurtlve elm
queue* of a tongue that might have been set to noble and uplifting Ihiugs
-seem to have been consecrated In their deepest force and Intenaity up
on the one baneful purpose of the pursuit and destruction of the young
women whose advent Into New York be eagerly watched and diligently
followed.
The description of his room or of hit several rooms with their sensual
splendor of equipment and their urlentnl suggest Irenes* of love and lust
—all the uses to which he put the flower* which l!od gave for the better
ment of the tuonili amt purpose of the world—all tbe skill of hla archi
tectural Itr^u and the defines* of his gifted tongue, seem to have been
brought lu their Intensest and richest glow to the gratification of pas
sions which meant the sacrifice of the one great gift which holds woman
liuod nearest to the Aral mother and nearest to the heart of the world.
There may be other men In New York, lu Pari*, and In 1 .ondon ns
(Omiirehi-nslve and aa splendid lit their ~oep« of seduction and of lust.
Hut we believe that the records will sitatalu ua In the aasertlnn that pub
licity never yet In one oPRheee cities lias found ao arch, ao Infinite, so
monstrous and so magnificent a libertine as Stanford White.
And when Delphln V Delinas lias done hla duty In the summary ami
marshalling of the points which look to the exculpation of Ills client and
to the vindication of his ellent's wife, lie ought to render to the society of
which he Is to become a part, end of that greater public which, through-
out the United States, has followed the detail* of this remarkable trial, the
compensating Justice of picturing this unparalleled and married seducer.-
in ilie vivid color* III which he shows, and In |>oltiling tbe moral of his life
lo the 30.000.000 or the lO.OOO.OOll or the e0.000.000 of people who are wait
ing now to nail the concluding speech In Hie trial of Harry Thaw.
Stanford White hn« 1.1,111: friend* III the rlty uf New York, ami by the
eocy ta asnnl tbe Influence of tbe
courts. I make no nttack on tbe gentle
men of tbe board, but protest against tha
evfdaaee they are among Urn grant and powerful. Setae of them may
have been sympathisers with tbe undercurrent and the baser purpose of hla
sensual and baneful life. Some of them, by their reeorda, wo thonld think
bavo sever known th* shadowed aide of this brilliant architect whom
they admire.
But i whoever the*# friend* may be, however high and numerous, how-
ovar strong tbe public opinion which the district attorney may evoke to
whitewash the moral* of the min who had so many Mend*, the pablle
of America looks to Delphln N. Delmaa, who atanda at laat In tho rsspon-
aible position of opportunity and of duty, to paint this man aa he abould
be painted, and to denounco him aa ho should be denounced to tho vindi
cation of American manhood, to th* protection of American womanhood,
and to tha satisfaction of tha outraged and indignant eon science of oar
civilization. - ,
If Delphln N. Dalmaa began so superbly and failed somewhat sorrowful-
ly to sustain himself In the national convention of gt. Louie, let him realize
tbat he has a greater occasion and i larger opportunity here. Beginning
aa tranquilly aa be may and proceeding aa carefully aad logically as b*
can lit the marshalling of hl« evidence and In the presentation of his advo
cate's plea, let him not forget that by reason of position and of the great and
Incomparable audience to which he apeak*, that he ateDds also and above
nil things aa the advocate her* of American honor, and its tbe repreaen-
utlr* of tbe outraged decency of tha American republic*.

1 lie Editor of The Georgian:
There can be no graver mistake than

To the Editor of Th* Georgian:
Permit a constant reader of your val

your moir dlgcilmUiallng leader of

union at the. Cumberland and the
Northern Presbyterian churches.
Your last paragraph strikes a chord
whloli will ra-acho In many heart! and
ought to pause the spirit of every sin
cere Chrjltlan man to vlbrata In ap
proval.
It may be Interesting to you to not*
that while you wore preparing your
article 1 waa preaching In Valdosta

I said:
"It la not the Infldel we have to
fear nor the agnostic to dread; It la

world may believe Hint Thou hast sent
Me.' l.et the church** mlnimlie their
differences and emphasis* their points
of agreement: let them labor and pray
mid move not for union, but for unity."
. Wisely you eay "the more unions at
1 hurches there are the better." How
we wish that the press of our day
would enter upon a campaign for thla
object! What vast possibilities ar*
yours. Mr. Editor, and how splendidly
you could set forward the cause by
showing the extravagant waste of dis
unity and the lo** of power by the es

Captain Hobson Is making this sub
