Dr. Parkhurst Hotly Answers New York Mayor
GAYNOR IS GIVEN THE LIE
NEW YORK, Dec. 3. —In a burning
reply to charges of cruelty to unfortu
nate women, Dr. C. H. Parkhurst, the
eminent New York clergyman, gives
the lie direct to Mayor Gaynor, of that
city. The letter says:
To His Honor, Mayor William J. Gay
nor, Mayor of the City of New
York:
Sir—Your mind, which may be sup
posed to incline graciously and sympa
thetically toward whatever concerns the
interest of this municipality, 1 desire to
inform by a brief recital of facts. May
I solicit, therefore, your patient and in
terested attention?
Some twenty years ago a number of
citizens of this city, being convinced of
the existence of a certain amount of
collusion between the police and the
criminal classes, set about to investi
gate the situation witii a view to bring
ing the facts to the knowledge of the
public and politically dislodging the
nefarious organization that was thris
ing upon commercial vice.
Considerable thought and time were
devoted to determining the wisest and
most promising mode of procedure. We
acted upon the assumption, subsequent
ly demonstrated to be a valid one, that
gambling, bawdy-house managers and
saloon-keepers were all doing a thriv
ing but illegitimate business and giving
up to the police a part of the profits as
compensation for protection.
Gunning For Larger Game.
We were not trying to close either
gambling houses, disorderly houses or
saloons. We had our opinion of them,
of course, but were not motived in our
action by the purpose of the Immediate
desire to see them wiped out. We were
gunning for larger game and for re
sults that were more fundamental.
To be more specific, we were en
gaged in no crusade against vice, but
against city officials who encouraged
the development of vice as a means of
revenue. You are credited with being
clever-minded, and I trust you will
bring that cleverness to bear in an in
telligent grasp of the distinction be
tween fighting vice and fighting the
propagation of vice with a view to
pocketing its emoluments.
In pursuit of our purpose we labored
along the line of disordely houses rath
er than along that of gambling or vio
lation iff excise only for the reason that
we concluded that it was by that means
we could more readily attain tire ob
ject tha’ we had in view.
Now. Your Honor, the statement of
our policy as just made and the reason
for adopting that policy as just indi
cated has been declared upon the plat
form and reiterated in the newspapers
a thousand times, and it is only be
cause I am having to deal with stupid!,
ty, voluntary or Involuntary, obtuse or
malicious, that I have been led to re
peat it ir my letter to you. You were
Let Every Child Celebrate
Arbor Day Tomorrow
Wednesday, December 4th
By Planting at Least One Tree to
Make Some Barren Spot Beautiful
'T'HROEGHOUT our vast country, in big cities him! in little
A towns, school children are being encouraged to claim Arbor
Day for their own. In the East and the West, the North aJid
the South, you will find little children on Arbor Day planting lit
tle trees which shall grow to strong and sturdy maturity, just as
they themselves shall grow, so that when they have become the
ruling citizens they will have beautiful cities that are rich in the
possession of these majestic trees, of which they will be more
proud than of vast treasuries.
In all parts of the United States we are losing hundreds of
valuable trees every year. Hero in Atlanta this year we have
lost or been compelled to destroy some of our most beautiful
trees. And every year more trees will go. ('an you picture how
barren and ugly a city would be without a tree? That is why
Arbor Day is given to the children, that they may save and en
hance the beauty of their cities, for their own days, and their
children.
Tomorrow. December 4. is the first Arbor Day that Atlanta
will celebrate. All of the schools have given special talks on the
day. to encourage in the children a protecting love for the trees
that make their cities and country beautiful: and Jacobs' Phar
macy has donated for the children to plant 20.000 little Catalpa
trees, two years old. and averaging a height of 3 feet. The
Catalpa is a handsome North American shade tree, attaining its
maturity in about ten years, when it bears white blossoms.
Every child in the city may have* one or more of these trees
upon agreeing to plant and nourish them for a few weeks.
School children may procure trees from their teachers on Ar
bor Day. Wednesday', December 4.
All schools, colleges ami institutions ot any kind mav procure
immediately as many of the trees as they need from Jacobs' Phar
macy, Main Store.
Children and adults may procure trees individually on Arbor
Day at Jacobs' Main Store. 6-8 Marietta Street.
Tomorrow. Arbor Day, let every child in Atlanta plant a
tree -on the lawn, in the backyard, at the sidewalk edge, in the
school yard: in any barren spot that can be made beautiful with
a fine shade tree.
JACOBS’ PHARMACY
TIIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.TUESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1912.
on the bench at the time, and you knew
then and I should have supposed ’hat
you would know now that ail this talk
about my persecuting the poor girls
was for the sake of throwing dust in
the eyes of the public and saving from
defeat at the polls that body of organ
ized depravity that helped to compass
your election to the mayoralty.
“A Damnable Lie.”
One cold winter night a lot of the
unfortunates serving in disorderly
houses along Thirty-first street were
pitched out into the snow by the po
lice with the information that it was
done at my motion. You are reported
as saying a few days ago at the Colon}
club: “Some years ago a clergyman
In this city induced the public authori
ties to drive them (the girls) and
spread them and club them all over
the city."
Now, what the police said about my
causing the Thirty-first street girls to
be thrown out into the snow a
damnable lie, and if you referred to me
w hen you said at the Colony club what
I have pust quoted, it was just the
same kind of a lie; or, begging your
pardon for the use of that discourteous
term, ail I mean is, that what you said
was just as far from the truth as hell is
from heaven, and the mayor of this
great city can be about business more
commensurate with the dignity of his
exalted position.
Os course, the girls -ante up to my
house from Thirty-first street boiling
with rage, as hot as they could be con
sidering the fearful inclemency of the
night. For the first few minutes they
were a pretty difficult company to deal
with, but it was not long before they
discovered that even If 1 was a clergy
man and Mrs. Parkhurst a clergyman’s
wife, we still had hearts.
We fed them and we comforted
them.
We gave them all the facts in the
case, and they went away our friends,
and the friendship of some of the girls
we kept for years.
Some Pointed Questions.
Your Honor, have you ever taken
such girls into your home and fed them
and comforted them?
Did you do anything of the kind in
that white and negro resort maintained
in one of your houses in Brooklyn, re
ported to me by three different detec
tives, and which I visited myself with
a detective of my own, and caused that
secret notification might be conveyed
to you in order that you might be saved
from the contempt of your constituen
cy?
Perhaps you did not know what was
going on there; but the public would
not have excused you. And I, a heart
less clergyman that causes poor girls
to be clubbed all over the city, sheltered
you. I am sorry for you, Your Honor,
and 1 am awfully sorry for the city.
The Lord wept over Jerusalem. Yours
truly, C. H. PARKHURST.
