I r , - lie Ills wares and his business. But omniscience is not an attribute of humanity. Because of this, it fre quently happens that even the most colossal audacity and the most mag nificent originality falls of Its most Im mediate opportunity. Often'do we al low to pasa unrecognised the utility of material cloae at hand In our eager March for the new and the strange In fields afar. The establishment of which I apeak displays as one of the mottoes of Its business. “A satisfied customer Is the beat advertisement." This Is hardly orlgbial. Indeed. It Is so entirety axio matic as to require no comment. “The proof of the pudding is In the eating." The seller of any machine knows that he must successfully demonstrate Its efficiency for every intending purchas er. Vendors of nostrums depend for their greatest success upon the testi monials of satisfied patients. We are more readily convinced of the worth of any material by the contemplation of the finished product, and. Indeed, as a moral proposition, Judgment upon any other basis Is unfair. The value to the community of any Institution, whether commercial, social or religious, can be determined only by n consideration at Its direct or Indirect products. This principle being basic, ths won der I, tint thl, establishment, whose business house Is one of Atlanta's landmarks end wltoee enterprise arid originality esclte admiration, should neglect any opportunity for unique and effective advertising which either blind chance or providence might bring to Its very door. Passing along the sidewalk In front of the door of tlila bualness house, one evening tlila week, iny attention waa rather forcibly drawn to thla splendid opportunity for advertising whan It lurched violently against ms In an un certain and unsteady effort to convey Its body somewhere. In response to the cell or a muddled and a shattered will.. I say "It" advisedly, for the thing that for a moment impeded my. progress and tremendously escltad my pity waa not actually o man. God had made him a man. Indeed, and what a man he must have been at one time! Tall, straight of back and limb, with the cheat of Vulcan And tha alnewa of Her cules. with a countenance In which an honest man might recognise a friend and a little child a willing protector. Yes. one time he had surely been good to look upon, but that was when lie was the man whom God had made. It may even be that some time ha will again lie good to look upon, for God, who never wearies of trying to make man In His ow n Image, can make even this thing over egeln Into a man If Ha be given a fair chance. But when I first made my acqualntanre with him he was not a pleasant thing to see. fur he had temporarily oeaaed from being a man and had turned himself into a powerful living advertisement for a commercial enterprlee which basks In Ihe sanction and protection of the law of the land and In the practical ap proval of many a good man and true. No, he was not exactly a good thing to look upon. The once proud and defiant shoulders had the pitiful druop of ae- REV. E. D. ELLENWOOD. nlllty. The palsied limbs with difficulty bore the burden of the reeking and of fensive body. The once strong and purposeful hands grasped gropingly for some object of stability amid the dlssylng dance of buildings, sidewalks and men and women. The well molded mouth drooled with the Impotence of a new bom babe. The windows out of which hla soul had one time looked un troubled upon the world were elnuded and dim, and to the befogged brain there came fleeting Images of things, distorted, horrible and unreal. Only the great loving heart of tha Alt Eatb- er, who tied originally endowed thla thing with humanity, could any longer recognise In It the son of Hla deep affection. Yet thla was but one of the natural products of the prevailing Idea of civ lllsatlon. It seems Just a little strange, therefore, that other humans who en deavored to occupy with him a portion of the eldewalk should hare Indignant ly nroieaied as against en abnormality. Balmily gowned ladlea. fresh front the matinee, drew aside In dismay and dis gust and demsndsd to know why such spectacles were permitted on Atlanta's most fasblonabls thoroughfare. Pros perous looking man, whose clteeka bora the (lamp of health and virility, curled contemptuoue llpe In the wondering ex clamation that a man ehould make inch e beaat of himself A little child fled screaming to her mother when one of the meaningless ‘lurches of the derelict sent Its towering bulk In har direction, and kll breathed a distinct relief whan Anally ths law arrived from somewhere to take charge of the thing In whose making It lied co-operated. Think of the splsndld advertising possibilities showed to go to waste. Just because of the lack of anterprlse and appreciation. What a novel Idea foe this Arm, constantly seeking Inno vation. If it should borrow' thla thing from the law. for a little while, and place li In one of the splendid show windows with ths placard In all of tha languages of the community; "Our Finished Product; Look at this and aaa wltat we can do for you!" This Idea Is nut copyrighted, and I freely offer It for ths consideration of all the bualneaa establishments whose success produces this sort of fruit. It would scarcely, be necessary to ask any kind of an nffleer what had happaned to tha object In the window, for clvlll sallon makes us perfsctly familiar with Its striking by-products, and human beings rendered offensive to society by the "taking Into thalr mouth, that which steals away thalr brains” am no longer w novelty In Ihe average com munity. Another reason why this thing that wee once e man should thus be used as a living advertisement Is the argu ment of utility. In the traditional ac count of the beginnings of things na ture demanded of man that he should forever be a producer aa well as a con sumer, nor may this divine command to labor In torn* capacity be long or suc cessfully disobeyed. Tills thing which the law removed from the street has become entirely unlit for tha purposes for which It was manifestly Intended. Once It possessed capacity. In abun dance. to make the earth yield "bread for the eater and seed for the sower." Once It was able lu cu-uperate splen didly with Its fellows In the mighty Inc It minister to ell tha phyaicel end spiritual demands of mankind. Once It was s strong and capable man In tha flashing lova-ltght of whose eyes some pure and holy woman found her beacon star of hope. Once It was s man whose smile could let loose upon the tired old world heaven's sweetest music, ths laughter of little children. Once It was a man of charitable heart and Inflexible will, who. establiihlng and maintaining a home, created one of the units of civilisation. But now- that he has ceased from being s man and has become merely one of the problems of society, the performance of his old- time functions has become Impossible to him, and unless we shall be able to find him something to do he becomee by hla Idleness an Increasing menace. He lias become a disturber of the peace end happiness of other mtn who wleh to work end bo uaerul, so we find It necessary to lock him up where he will be out of the way. And then. In order that the policeman who locks him up-may be paid hla wages, we must impose a flits upon tha derelict, to in aura the.perpetauatlon of tM system. Now, why not give the man a chance to earn the amount of Ills flne by hiring him out by the hour as a living ad vertisement for ihe business which has made of him a splendid testimonial? Frequently I attend tha recorder's court at the police station, securing there more profitable auggeitlom for sermons then may be found In all of the theological books ever written to confuse linen's minds and warp their hearts, and there on an afternoon of this week I witnessed tha sequel to the little story of actual Ilfs which T have here tried to relate. Ths sequel did not require much time. A name wta called, and from the prisoners' pen there came a man who stood before the Judge and heard the otHcer make a charge of "drunk on the street." In the prisoner 1 recognised the unfortu nate of the previous evening—the same, yet vastly different. The man was struggling valiantly against tha legion of devils which still sought to possess him. Remorse and shame held down his head as h« murmured, "Guilty." In resiKinse tu tbs query of the Judgo, upon whose brow tnercy sat enthroned. The penitent was told that his liberty might be purchased for $}.;&, and aa I Inwaidly gave thanks for tha admir able Judgment of the court, f reflected how entail a space thla amount would purchase In the advertising columns purchase In the advertising columns of those dally purveyors of publlolty which, by selling to It their services, do thereby sanction and abet a traffic upon which must forever rest the cures of Cain. ilMtHHIIMIMHIHMMMCMHHMIl Should and Can There Be a Southern Program? By REV. JOHN E. WHITE, PASTOR SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH I T 18 eeriouely proposed end moirment toward that end now being Influentially organised tlui th" need of the South, le for Southern pulley—a white man's pro cram In ihe face of the grave end In .Ifa-lnsly graver situation with re qieu to the negro In the Southern •law. The movement originated In Oeoriut. w here there are 1.100,004 ne gru<> where larger provision for the higher education of the negroes made than In any other state, and where the race situation has probably Hi in..-t typical development In the Soul!:. The underlying principle of the pnipoultlon Is that the movement shall he altogether In the hands of South ern men. that the Intelligence of the South can and should be brought to hear in better agreement and that the Southern white people as the domi nant and responsible agents of clvtll- tttlon are rapable of a more confident instructive attitude toward the tituation it Is therefore essentially an *Mieul to our self-respect end patriot- It in not a movement which pre- •uniea that the race problem can be »lvrd hv a stroke or a promulgation, but Hint alma to create a current of tangible policy which will lead out of lien of Uonfuaton to which ee on submitted. It elms to pro- iui-Ii an understanding and to rebuilt such definite condition that the i me forces of adjustment ntay healthier field In which to work, ere flnpneea and reaolu- !t, 1 e I wile ■ regard to our own and aynt- • till regard to the negroes' true "tihln the Inevitable llmlta- •( their Anglo-Saxon envtron- |< cement liss already been sub- d if ihe critical Judgment of more 'Mm < hundred prominent Southern "( the best thought and con science In tlie South, and with such a result as to Indicate a general realisa tion thut some such movement Is great ly needed. The first suggestion that any propo sition relating to the negro makes on the mind of prudent Southern men Is that all agnation of the subject Is In jurious. We have had and are having so much discussion of a harmful kind that tnen who love the South utiael flshly are much concerned to put an end to it. The people who are now earnestly engaged In bringing this proposition for a consensus of South ern Intelllgenre and the pronounce ment or a definite policy with regard to the rnoe problem are without ex ceptlon of thla prudent, conservative claws. It Is observed that crying. "Peace! Peace!" does-not bring peace. It la forced upon us that discussion and agitation are on the Increase and that the drift of It Is stendlly toward con ditions worse and worse. The ques- tlon has therefore come to the front whether we have any reason to quar rel with hurtful agitation or with lb' considerate agitators, so long as our wisest and best people hold aloof and make no movement to organise the Intelligence and conscience of the South Into some sort of understanding. On ths part of the leaders of South ern thought In morals and In Industry. In education and religion there is no genuine effort to reduce matters to the simplest terms and to make It possi ble for the white people and the ne groes to reach a calmer mood. The movement now proposed alms tomnko the reduction of Injurious agitation possible. It concedes that agitation l Inevllablv forced by the conditions long as conditions are allowed to riot without check or ahaplng. It concedes that the agitation tnuat go on Injurl- oualy eo long aa the Held Is abandoned either to natural developments or the unnatural presaure of Influence which make a huslneas of agitation for Ihe achievement of party or personal suc cess. But It claims that the only way to get rid partially or wholly of the evils of our agitations la tor the men of light and leading, und these con stitute ths majority Influence In every state of the South, to bring their reso lute Intelligence to bear on the situa tion and Issue a line of policy so clear ly marking Ihe things our Anglo-Saxon [civilization Is settled on, that the white people will be led to accept them ns flnalUles not necessary to agitata over any longer and ths negroes given i definite understanding of the condl esa and peace are Before going further Ipto the reasons which plead for the support of all good people In the South there are three objections to be considered. It will be said that this Is tlousl question end therefore that the South ss a section cannot deal with It. It will be pointed nut that the conflict of the races Is Increasing In the North and Hast, wherever negroea ere found tn numbers. Kmphaala will be laid on rite collisions w hlch have occurred and the violence of mobs In certain North ern cities. These farts have their prop er weight ami application, but the Southern - people are not prepared to admit the logic. We are not willing that our share of the rare problem shall be considered aw a national con cern. Thoae who make the most of tha negro troubles outside the South will be the very lest to agree that the t'nlteil States government shall deal with the race problem as a national question. As a matter of fact. It la not a national problem aw yet. though how wooii II may no one can tell. The South haw ninety-nine one-hundredths of the negro trouble In her ow n borders. We are Incomparably more Involved In It than all other sections, tlw seriousness reryw ltere else lw a contrast compared It Is Its seriousness here. But one thing will mHke It iwieslble for the gov ernment to regard It ns a matter for national treatment and that Is the neglcd of the Hnuth to take hold of It a Southern obligation before Ihe REV. JOHN E. WHITE. present drift brings on what Senator Tillman publicly predicts Is coming on —wucli outbreaks of massacre aa the Atlanta and Mlsalaalppl riots, which will Involve Ihe nanonul honor with ihe conscience of Christendom. In- Mead of our Illogical shift of the prob lem on the nation on account of the negro troubles In other parts of the country where they have had no ex tended experience with the negro. It will be an honor to the Southern pao< pie and an applause worth deserving, If we will prove that we are capable of laying duwn Intelligent llnaa of dealing with the negro for other sections that they may profit by odr statesmanship— a statesmanship tha South cannot creditably ehlrk. Another objection will probably be heard that the face trouble Is a local question to be left to states and localities to handle without any concert. That objection will ap peal tn the easily satisfied, but when one comes to egamlna Its ar gument he realises at once that thai Is Just the trouble now. We an treat ing the biggest sociological problem a people ever raced as merely a local and political question. We are pretending to handle a situation that cells for all the united morel Intelligence of 20, 000,000 white people and all the force they can organise together, with a bed lam of sectional disagreement. Our Southern attitude r Is certainly anomalous. If these Is a South, a sec tion peculiar In Its conditions. Its life, Us civilisation and a race problem which, as we generally Insist, the South la to be let alone about, do we then dis pute that we have a common Southern Interest In It? But conditions In tha border are not so serious as tn the lower Southern etetse. Grimed—but since when did Virginia withdraw har Identification with her old comradaa moge beset than herself? Less per plexed, calmer and tharafora fitted for wlso counsel tHoae states of tbo South whtetr-are less seriously Involved with the race trouble ere In a favorable poll- tlon to. promote a Southern program nobly for ell the South. An examina tion of the Southern newspapers for last September puts at rest the objec tion to a Southern concert of policy on the ground that our conduct of the race problem Is a local concern, une and ull, from Maryland to Texas, expressed u common Interest snd honor injured by the Atlanta riot of that month. We do. In fact, regard Ihe twee problem as more than a local quextlon. It really matters very little with the a us rage Southern men whether something re lating tu the negro takes place In his own stale or another—his Interest In the matter le but little altered. The self-respect of every Southern man who loves the land Is touched by the fact that though we Invariably In sist upon the question of the negro as the South's business, In dealing with It ws are not facing It as the South's obligation. Mare than that, the self- respect of white people everywhere la Involved In the failure. If we shell fall, of the white men of the 8outh to deal Svlth our situation masterfully an-l constructively aa Anglo-Saxons have always dealt with their situations. The most serious objection yet pre sented to the movement to bring South ern sentiment Into concert on this sub ject Is that It Is "absolutely Impos sible" of accomplishment because the Southern people can not be gotten to gether to agree on anything about the negro. It ta stgnlOcwnt. however, that the gentlemen urging this objection evidently so feared that co-operation and agreement would b» effected that he has bestirred hhnself to prevent It. It le going to he true tn the South that people for one reason and another, will not be wanting to hinder nod prevent If they can nil movements to ameliorate Southern—esittUtleWa-i That Is not strange. There fir*hundreds of mtn, from strong men down to the weakest politician, who would feel tomorrow that they had sustained a serious per sonal Injury If ths negro Issue should today be resolved Into a negligible quantity In Southern politics. But the objection that the South la Incapable of general consensus on the negro question will not stand before patriot!" scrutiny. Here Is e closer Issue. It Is o be met squarely before It Is be- iouded. Are wa Southern white men apable of thinking a community thought, and of organising that thought Into policy about a matter admitted ly grave In Ihe extreme In which the whole South lx Involved? It is charged" by some among us that eo great It the confusion of opinion that we are In a state of mind Incapacitated for delib erate concord. Suppose that point Bad been made by a Northern editor? The question is narrowed down to this, not whether the race problem le capable of solution, but whether the Southern while men are capable of solving their own problem of chaotic sentiment. This Is a serious phase of our sltuotioa. he thrust forward to cure our confusion we are surren dered to hopeless distraction.
