Advertising and Defining Atlanta.
8ome dayn ago. in speaking of
Roma, Ga.. and the exceptional beauty
of Ita scenery and surrounding!. The
Georgian suggested that Rome should
hare Ita beauty printed on cards or
written In books and given to the
world, 1 to advertise Its advantages, to
persuade by Its opportunities, and to
attract by its natural charm.
We now take that suggestion to our
selves. Atlanta, with Its physical
marvel of recuperation, with the phoe
nix head which It haa lifted from the
ashea of war. with the rich setting of
historic Incident and scenery which
surrounds It, with the glory of Its un-
equaled architecture and tho atately
beauty of Its princely avenues, with
a record of Its progress and the sweep
ing and Inspiring figures of Its growth,
should have a Standard City Guide
Rook.
Strangers who come here, and there
are some within our own state who
do not understand how to see and
know Atlanta, need some little hand
book with a map. with a panoramic
panel of Its views, with a directory
to every point of Interest In and
around the city, with a description of
Its meaning and the history of Its life.
Strangers who come here for a few
days' Observation, whether they come
from our own or adjoining states, or
whether they come from that aectlon
to the north and west of us. have their
minds filled with the repute of Atlan
ta. and these people should find on the
railway trains and on the city news
Stands this book which should be both
pictorial and descriptive and histori
cal, telling of what there la to see In
Atlanta, how to reach It and how to
understand it wheji It la seen, cover
ing everything from the growth and
progress of the twentieth century city
and the great battles which were
fought in and around Atlanta during
the civil war, to the roster of Ita civic
and commercial bodies.
Other cities, such as New York and
Washington and Philadelphia and Chi
cago. have a book like this.
We are glad to announce that At
lanta now is to have such a book and
that the Franklin-Turner Printing
Company, of this city, li now taking
active and practical steps toward the
compilation of all these facts and all
this Information In order to present
at an early day this little volume
Which le eo much needed in our life.
We commend the enterprise of the
Franklin-Turner Company to the ap
preciation and the practical support
of those who love Atlanta, and we
trust that their work may be expe
dited by the promptness and cheerful
ness with which their enterprise Is re
ceived.
In this connection let us suggest
Uist the street railway company,
whose marvelous prosperity Is Just
bow the financial sensation of Atlanta,
should provide for visiting parties a
special observation and tourists' car
which at stated hours every day
should leave some central'point, and
at a specified price shculd tour the
entire city, covering the. city and It*
I principal suburbs of Rolton. College
Park. Hspeville, Hast Point, Kirk
wood. Ruckhead and McPherson, tho
parks, the Athletic Club, the Golf
Links and the battlefields within a
stated time.
We believe that auch an enterprise
on the part of the railway company
would add greatly to the pleasure of
our own people and Immensely to the
pleasure and education of our visitor*
from time to time.
Men who live In Atlanta would be
glad two or three times a year to take
advantage of such a trip to travel all
over and about the city to note Its
progress, growth and development and
to keep pace with what la going on
in this ever growing and ever en
trancing municipality.
We commend this suggestion to the
public spirit and to the personal In
tereat of the Georgia Railway and
Electrle llnqa.
RAY STANNARD BAKER AND THE ATLANTA RIOT.
In the month of January there came to Atlanta upon a tour of obser
vation two proprietary representatives of two leading American periodi
cals.
From The World's Work came Mr. Walter Page, a Southerner by
birth, a Northerner by residence, and a cosmopolitan by experience—a
man of the world, accomplished In letters and In manner, genial In spirit,
a raconteur of grace and charm, a man of fashion and a man of affairs.
From The American Magaxlne came Mr. Ray fJUnnard Raker, a fair
type of the keen, level, practical business man of today; apparently with
little Imagination, but of Immense Industry, a tranquil temperament and
a thoughtful mind, a quiet exterior, rather reticent In manner and ap
parently diffident In speech.
Mr. Page came South to study Its Industrial conditions and to exploit
hla observations In a great Southern edition of The World'* Work toon
to appear.
Mr. Page came to the South to study Ita Industrial conditions and to
exploit his observations In a great Southern edition of The World'* Work
soon to appear.
The people of Atlanta particularly have looked with more than ordi
nary Interest for the appearance of Mr. Raker's treatment of thla ques
tion. because of his abundant opportunity for observation, and it has been
generally read by thoughtful people of the capital city of Georgia.
It la difficult, perhaps, to criticise accurately the leading article In
The American Magazine within the limits of an editorial. It may as well
be said in the beginning that Mr. Raker's treatment upon the whole. Is
rather disappointing to the thoughtful people of Atlanta.
And this does not mean those ardent. Impetuous temperaments who
can see nothing to condemn In the South at any time, and who rise In
fiery protest against the slightest reflection levied upon this section. It
Is from the thoroughly conservative and progressive people who are
aeeklng along the most humane and enlightened lines to solve our prob
lem that we receive the Impression and the expression of a comparative)
disappointment in Mr. Raker's work.
We believe that tho representative of The American Magazine In
tended in his mind and In his heart to be perfectly fair In this article,
and that he honestly and sincerely thinks he has been. For our own
part we cheerfully concede that Mr. Baker has told no one thing about
the riot that was not true, but It Is evident to thinking men who live
hero and who are trying without passion or prejudice to study the great
question, that Mr. Baker, like almost every other map born in hla en
vironment and Inheriting hla prejudices, has found It almost Impossible to
get away from hla point of view/
He has said some strong things In commendation of Atlanta and
Its people. He has made plain the fact that the Atlanta riot was the
act entirely of the lawless and unrepresentative element of the com
munity. And he haa magnified at. great length and with fine discrimina
tion the reconstructive spirit of protest and remedy which, in hia own
language, has “developed all that la beat and highest'in the South.” But
In his discussion of the causes which led up to the riot, and the condi
tions which surround the relations of the races In the South, Mr. Raker
has given a preponderance to the negro view of the question, rather thBn
to the opinions of the prominent white men with whom he- might have
conferred. The types which he takes and exploits of the negro race aro
altogether of the highest and most exceptional merit and appearance,
and the general Impression to be derived from hla article In the North is
that the negro, as a whole. Is a very much higher grade of being than he
la and Is thereforo very much oppressed and mistreated in the South.
He has stated frankly and truly that the Atlanta lawlessness was the
work of the unrepresentative aud disorderly element* of the community,
and. with equal fervor haa asierted that the unspeakable crimes and law
lessness of the negro la the work of the unrepresentative and minority el
ement of that race. Rut he has failed to make pleln how vast Is the
majority In the South of tha laws biding, reputable and God-fearing cit
izen!, and haa failed to realise or at least to express how small Is the
minority of the typo of negro whom be exploits In his portraits aud In the
lien pictures of the article which he haa written to bis magazine.
Mr. Raker Is comparatively unjust In attributing to all the afternoon
papers of Atlanta the public Irritation which resulted In the riot, and
either through consideration or timidity, has by Implication allowed this
paper, which was blameless, to share the burden of responsibility with
other papers whose publications aud extras were so much more nearly
akin to the riot.
Mr. Raker has confined his Inquiries and Inveatigatlons largely to
those who were doctrinaires aud exponents, of the ultra-conservative
phase of the situation and has not seen fit to discuss the question In Its
origin. In its bearings, and In Its results with those men who represent
a more radical view of the conditions surrounding the races In the
South.
Of course, as an evangel of harmony and aa the advocate himself of
a certain line of policy. It may have been perfectly natural for Mr. Raker
to do this. Hqt to men who wish ti> know the truth as it Is, and not as It
should be. It Is difficult to see how this representative of a great Amerl-
can*magazlne,could have failed to carry back Some authorized or general
statement of the views of one of the most famous of Southern statesmen
just elected to the highest office In the state by an unprecedented majority
upon the very issues out of which grew the Atlanta riots of last Septem
ber. 1
With this much of criticism which Is all explained In the fact that
Mr. Baker could not escape bla hereditary and local point of view, the
article In The American Magazine Is Interesting and Is also truthful In the
incidents which It considers. It evidences the most indefatigable labor and
research In securing facts and Incidents which bore upon the lawless pe
riod which the writer describes. We do not believe that he has stated
any fact unfairly or ao far aa we know, untruthfully. It Is only in the
massing of his facts. In the sources of his Information, and in the pre
dominance of negro testimony and the negro view that we find the col
oring which does not altogether leave a pleasant impression upon the
mind even of the most conservative citizens of Atlanta.
We have failed to find one mail In the city who approved It altogeth
er. We have found some who condemn It heartily, and we have found
mauy who believe as The Georgian doe* that there are many things in
the article, which, coming from a Northern man and stated to a Northern
audience, must he helpful to this city In the public opinion which the
author reaches and helps to create.
Mr. Raker has made plain that two of the victims of assault preced
ing the riot were not Southern people—that one was from Pennsylvania
and the other an Englishwoman. This statement will have ita good effect.
He has fully magulfiad the action or thq Civic League and of the eplrtt
wblth he pronounces representative among the earnest and publle spirited
citizens of Atlanta.
He haa stated a proposition Interesting In itself and largely correct
whea he saya that in the South the white man cares for the Individual
negro but dislikes the race, while In the North the Northern man grows
enthusiastic over the race but cordially dislikes the individual negro. This
statement from our point of view, which may be deemed unfair by Mr.
Baker, is correct In so far as It relates to the North, but is proven to be In
accurate as dlscriptlve of tha South, because In this section the liberality
of our contributions to negro churchei, to negro schools and to negro char
ities and our helpfulness toward their public enterprises would seem to
Indicate a consideration tor the race in general as well as the several
Instances which he cites of our consideration for the Individual negro.
Summing it up, we should say that we perhaps In the South may
be too exacting when we expect that any one born under the traditions
and conceptions of the North or East could take either our own point of
view or a totally Impartial point of view in dealing with the negro ques
tion in the South. Perhaps If Mr. Raker had taken our point of view
bis article would have been altogether discredited iu lb* North and
■
========
would have been void of tho service which we think in the main he hsa
doife our people..
We believe that In the general truthfulness of the Incidents which
he has given and in the spirit of kindness with which be has come among
us,' that. In the North at least, and In the middle states, where we most
need to be rightly represented, Mr. Baker's article will do the South a
service, for whose motives at least we are Indebted to him.
And now we shall tee what Walter Page will have to aay of us in
The World's Work. *
GOVERNOR NORTHEN AND HIS WORK.
Upon another page today we give some considerable space to a
communication from ex-Governor Northern touching the work which he is
doing In the Interest of law and order and In the settlement of the fiercer
phase of the question between the races.
The exigencies of the nresent moment do not permit us to review
at length the plan of Governor Xorthen or to comment extensively upon
his personal attitude toward It.
What we have to say In brief, however, la that Governor Northen's
long public service and hia high personal character give the highest in
tegrity to anything he undertakes, and cover with respect his entire mo
tive In any public expression.
We have no purer and no more respected public man In Georgia
than ex-Governor Norihen. He haa lived highly and without reproach
among hla fellow citizens Tor so many long and useful years that from
one end of the state to the other his character Is beloved and his record
Is respected.
In this Instance Governor Xorthen la undertaking from the highest
motives a great work which touches the largest and moat imminent prob
lem of our sectional life. It may be possible that Governor Northen's ef
fort* will hot be entirely successful in this generation, and that when he
la gone the great problem with which he grapples will survive, In part,
to harass -and trouble us. Rut no man who thinks along right lines
can fall to see that the evangel which our distinguished fellow citizen
carries rests upon fundamentals which' cannot he gainsaid or criticis
ed among a free people.
Hla appeal la ever to the noblest principle and to the highest Im
pulse. It is founded upon right linos and based upon essential verities
whose utterance and advocacy cannot fall to better the public sentiment
of the state and of the time.
Having our own views upon thlB great question which differ In some
details from those of the governor, we cannot fall to yield Jilni the
tribute of our sincere respect for his motives and of our public gratitude
for the real and genuine service which he Is doing for the sentiment and
for the character of the state.
When he iB gone and his work Is ended, the atmosphere will be
purer and public sentiment,higher for his having lived and labored
among the people whom he loves.
We commend Govnrnoi* Northen's able and comprehensive article to
tho careful attention of the people of the state.
NO MORE OF "HELL” FOR A TIME.
The pressure upon our columns compels us to decline for the present
any further communications upon the subject of "Hell.”
Since this topic was first suggested It Is difficult to estimate the
number of communications which have poured in upon us touching the
various speculations which concern the place of eternal punishment. Wo
have published a score or more of these communications already and
there lie upon our desk a sufficient number to take the entire space of
The Georgian.
We regret at all times not to publish communications which come to
us from our subscribers, but we realize that interest in this subject has
now been exhausted and that our duty Ilea to the great majority of those
‘ who read this paper.
Upon this basis we cannot afford to publish further communica
tions u|)on this line. It is significant to note, however, how swift an
Interest Is Inspired In any phase of the questions wtfich touch the Here
after. whether they relate to punishment or to reward.
It Is quite evident that the old-fashloncd Ideas have not died out In
this orthodox portion of tho country. And those who arc interested In
themes like these have had sufficient food of opinion to whet their specu
lation for some months to come.
For thlB reason The Georgian, in ao far as its meek prerogative ex
tends, has, for a time, abolished “Hell.”

AFRICANIZING MAIL EERVICE.
To the Editor of The Georgian;
Your editorial on the "Africanlxlng
of tha Mall Servlet," In the Issue of
the 2id Instant, la very timely, and Is
one that aver)' business men In thla
■action of tha country sh mw carefully
study. If they expect the efficiency bf
the service to be maintained.
There |e considerable complaint
made by the public to the poor eerv
Ice rendered, and thla editorial, togeth
er with the copy from The New Or'
leans Tlmes-Democrat, gives the
main reason why It has deteriorated.
Should the press take this subject up
(and they ehould by all means). It may
have some Influence In changing tl
conditions, whereby the service car
brought up to the high standard that
Is expected. This Is one of the few
questions that confronts the public
that requires combined action to bring
results.
The postal clerka who are directly
associated with these negroes have no
opportunity of making any objectloit,
but are compelled to take whatever
medicine Is handed out.
The ones who will suffer and feel It
the first when the service Is composed
of negroes (and it Is only a question of
a short time) will be the business men.
and then It will be too late for a reme
dy. Would like to see more on this
subject from other parts of the South.

SOUND IMMIGRATION VIEWS.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
In your editorial on "Farmere' Union
Opposes Immigration.” you say that
Harvle Jordan, before the Cotton
Growers' Association at Birmingham,
was emphatic In opposition to the im
migration movement.
I heard Harvle Jordan In 1(05 or
1906, before our state convention In
Hawklnavllle, on thla aubjact. He op
posed Immigration for growing cotton,
but aald It they came to go into tha
dairy business, or hay making, or any
agricultural line other than cotton, he
was agreeable. He further declared
that we needed Immigrants for our
factories and mills.
Hon. Pope Brown, on the same oc
casion, spoke and took tha same view
aa Mr. Jordan. They were not opposed
to Immigrants for our factories, our
shops and Industries, but did not want
them to produce more cotton and
cheapen the stapl*.
Right here It la wall to add that no
farmer who raises cotton need be un
easy about Immigration. They are not
coming tn compete with negro labor,
No danger of that.
And New England, operating through
President Roosevelt and Senator Lodge,
has effectually cut off immigration for
our cotton mills. They have blocked
the movement. The decision of At
torney General Bonaparte ha* killed all
hopes of getting foreign help for our
factories and mills.
The movement would have extended
only to our mills, but that la cut off
now.
Ntw- England anticipated us. and
under pretense of aiding California has
effectually crippled our Industrial life.
We have exhausted our native labor
for our cotton mills and Industrial
development, and we must cease to
expand. Eastern manufacturers passed
their hill and we must be content with
our present conditions of Industrial
Ilf*.
No such stab has been given our In
dustrial progress ror twenty years aa

Preeldent Roosevelt and Senator Lodge
In the Interest of New England.
Ae for our farms, the foreign labor
will not come In competition with ne
