By E. MARVIN UNDERWOOD.
The distressing events of the past
week have completely filled the minds
of all Atlantans. Here in our city the
aoul has run the gamut of human pas
atons. We have seen the manifesta
tions of fear, vengeance, hatred, folly,
cowardice, depravity, cruelty and
crime, and yet again we have seen
valor, nobility, manhood, virtue, fidel
ity and love. All realise the evil done;
most are thinking and working to right
the wrong. It will be done. "Res nolunt
dlu male adlminlstrarl."
It la not the purpose of the writer
to propose or advocate any line of
conduct as a solution of our great race
problem. This problem, though old, Is
, still unsolved, and will probably require
years of our best efforts to reach
satisfactory solution. It Is the supreme
problem of the Southern student of so
ciology, and our best minds must de
vote themselves to it. But let us rath
er today, while the memory Is fresh,
consider the lessons to be derived from
the recent outbreak of lawlessness In
our city, and let us do so In a brave,
optimistic way. The experience Is not
all bad—there Is "a soul of goodness In
things evil." It Is the function of the
student of social questions, as It Is
hls duty, not only to see and denounce
the evil In society, but also to encour
age those who are endeavoring to over
come It. One of the finest qualities of
the Atlanta Spirit Is its hopefulness
and cheerfulness and the Indomitable
determination to overcome all obsta
cles. See how finely she Is proceeding
to wipe out the disgrace of the last
few days! Past carelessness Is being
remedied by present zeal and energy.
Let this sight give courage to any
doubting or pessimistic friend. Atlan
ta has bravely borne the evlJ of the,
brief mob rule; she Is now nobly striv
ing for the "soul of goodness" hidden
therein.
Can any good follow In the wake of
a riotous mob? Will Atlanta receive
any good from her sad experience of
Saturday and Monday nights? How
emphtalc was the negative answer to
these questions that came to me while
viewing the .awful spectacle of the mob
of Saturday night. Nothing could bo
more horrible than the sight of the
wild terrified flight of the Innocent vic
tim, whom I could not aid, and the
savage pursuit of the depraved and In
human mob. which would not listen
to reason. I looked and saw the ma
jority of faces were those of mere
youths. I tried to reason with those
near by and found minds clouded nnd
passions heated by liquor. No fa?es
seemed to me to bear marks of that
chivalry which purposes to defend the
honor of women, but rather was thero
present evidence of depraved souls
which had lost the beauty of virtue
and delighted In violence. That mob
seemed an irresponsible, yet Irresisti
ble force, which was bearing on to an
unknown goal, directed only by chance.
Cowardice wan covered up in numbers
and needed only slight danger to. un
mask it, yet it spent Its force un
checked, upon the weak and unpro
tected. "A mob Is a society of bodies
voluntarily bereaving themselves of
reason and traversing Its work. The
mob Is man voluntarily descending to
the nature of the beast. Its fit hour
is night. Its actions are Insane, like
Its whole constitution. It persecutes
•a principle; It would whip a right; It
would tar and feather Justice, by In
flicting Are and outrage upon the
houses and persons of those who have
these." Such was the mob that so In
jured our beloved city. Can we dls-
, cover any good to be derived from the
i experience? Certainly we can, and we
are already happy In the discovery.
•‘The minds of men are at last aroused,
reason looks out and justifies her t
and malice finds nil her work vain
Is the whlpper who Is whipped and the
tyrant who is undone." The best of
our cltixens have awakened to their
responsibility and our officials to their
duty. Reform has already begun nnd
a moral cleansing of our city is in
progress.
Municipal and individual prosperity
has Impeded moral Improvement In our
city. In their efforts to promote nnd
nroperly care for their rapidly grow
ing and successful businesses, our best
cltixens had grown apathetic to the
duty resting upon them to zealously
guard the moral welfare of Atlanta
The sentiment has been—I am too busy
for politics, some one else will look aft
er that. The result has been that this
most Important work has received little
attention. Our city officials, In their
xeal for and pride In Atlanta's won
derful material prosperity and devel
opment have underestimated the ne
cessity for careful consideration and
discussion of the morality of our city.
They have underestimated the value
! of municipal morality as an asset and
have, either for want of due consid
eration or for revenue, permitted con
ditions w’hich have produced our dis
grace. But the mob has taught us all
our error. Each worthy citizen and of
ficial has had hls own responsibility
Impressed upon him. We all realize
that the paltry revenue received from
the licensing of immoral places not
only does not pay for protection
against unusual outbreaks, but not
even for protection against the ordina
ry lawlessness and disorder originating
In such places. All worthy citizens
heartily Indorse the action of the city
council in its efforts to rid the city of
low' dives.
The financial loss to Atlanta, caused
by the riot. Is Inestimable. The money
thus lost In disgrace would have boon
sufficient to buy new parks, establish
new schools, found reformatories and
beautify our city—all of which are po
tent factors, not only In elevating the
moral tone and culture of a city, but
also in lessening crime. How grieved
we are now' that we are offering re
wards and expending large sums of
money for the Apprehension and pun
ishment of criminals, instead of con
tributing the same amount to Institu
tions that would prevent the develop
ment of such criminals and which
would bring safety and beauty to our
city.
But let us turn away from regrets of
the past and eagerly take up the wtyk
of the future. I^t us turn self-cen-
sure into determination t » correct mis
takes, apathy into thoughtful activity
of good citizens, Ignorant < into knowl
edge of social needs. Individual selfish
ness into municipal liberality, abuse of
officials Into praise of their new xeal
nnd reform work and Into a determi
nation to support them now and hold
them to a correct policy in the future.
Let us not,regret our great loss, but
rather accept it a* the price paid for
the lesson we have received. Truly
we are to receive much goad from the
„ experience. It has cost uw dearly, but
>*f vofolear* **■ ■ —
ment In our city, the cost has not been
too great.
The fact that the majority of the At
lanta mob consisted of boys under 20
years of age impresses upon us the ne
cessity of checking juvenile crime.
Fifty-five per cent of criminals are un
der 20 years of age. It Is our duty to
study local conditions, to find out the
causes of juvenile crime and then erad
icate them, to study our juvenile crim
inals, discover their needs and reform
them.
We have begun such work In our
juvenile court and probation system,
but It Is a mere beginning, for the
officers are hampered by the lack of
equipment and Imperfection of the sys
tem. However, much good Is being
done along this line, and we should
urge our city officials to make ample
appropriations for the improvement
and development of thjs feature of our
city government.
One of the most prolific causes of
juvenile crlny? in Atlanta is the en
vironment met with while working or
loitering In th6 city streets and public
places. Groups of Idle boys, neglected
by Indifferent parents, are found all
over our city at all hours of the day
and night, on the streets, railroads, In
front of bar rooms, In the cheapest
gallery of the theaters and other pub
lic places.
The history of 96 per cent of juvenile
criminals show' previous bad associa
tions. Most crimes of Juveniles are
planned In such company and they take
great pride In the "dime novel" style
performance. Saturday night I saw
boys without coats and collars, with
blood-stained shirts, sleeves rolled up
nbove the elbow, hats pulled down over
the face, sticks and boards In their
hands, running at the head of the mob,
reproductions of the toughs or villains
they had seen In some horrid melo
drama.
Other boys are kept on the streets
and sent Into disreputable places by
the character of their employment-
such as news boys, and messenger boys
—and In this way are cursed by their
environment. Such boys should be
protected by ordinances which forbid
their entering Immoral places and
which provide punishment for anyone
sending them into such places.
Idle boys and loafers should be kept
off the streets, especially at night, and
no boys under 16 years of age should
be allowed to enter theaters unless
chaperoned by some responsible per
son.* Mr. Gloer, our excellent proba
tion officer, says that the gathering of
boys in the galleries of theaters and
ten pin alleys. Is one of the greatest
evils he haa to combat In Atlanta.
But what shrill we do with these boys
If we run them off the streets and keep
them away from public places? Shall
we force them to reihaln at home?
We must first see what kind of
homes they have. In many Instances
It is much better to allow them to stay
on the streets and to visit the public
places, however bad this may be, than
to imprison them lo their miserable
homes. Statistics show that 96 per
cent of criminals come from homes
cursed with alcoholism, vice or other
social ills. Only 2 per cent come from
homes classed as good, and 20 per cent
from those classed as doubtful. Many
of the homes classed as good or doubt
ful have a positive evil Influence upon
the children because of the Ignorance
or neglect of the parents. Many chil
dren, either because the home is the
bleakest, or most detested place In the
world to them on account of unsym
pathetic or neglectful parents, or be
cause they are actually driven away,
roam tho streets at all hours of the
day or night, while their parents are
In total Ignorance of their whereabouts.
Jt Js sad to contemplate how little care
and thought Is expended on the rear
ing of children. Most of them rear
themselves, and the wonder Is they
succeed as well 8s they do. How for
eign Is the Idea, even to many parents
of good intentions, of expending
thought and care on the subject of the
play time and play grounds of their
children. Upon no one does time hang
so heavily as upon the child without
work or play. He must also have play
mates. If parents do not provide w*ho!e-
some recreation and necessary asso
ciations, the child will supply the need
with such past times as he may, and
with such companionship as chance
affords.
Before condemning children to such
home* we must see to it that parents
furnish better homes and that the city
provides places for their play and
games. We can do a great deal toward
bettering homes by counsel and advice,
ana where this falls, by the.enactment
and enforcement of strict sanitary
laws, which would promote health and
furnish clean breathing spaces for
children. These measures would force
parents to do their duty at least In
part. Then the city must do Its part.
This means that w'e should right now
begin to plan a system of parks and
play grounds for Atlanta. It should be
the policy •of our city not to sell any
land which can be utilized for park
purposes, but on the other hand to buy
up such property whenever possible.
Especial attention should be given to
the poor and crowded sections of the
city. Many small parks In such sec
tions would bring the city large re
turns In the Improved health, morals
and happiness of the beneficiaries. It
would be a capital Investment, even
though the city had to borrow money
to make the purchases. Many children
could be cared for and probably turned
from a criminal career by transforming
all school yards Into .play grounds
under the direction of competent di
rectors, who would Inculcate right Ideas
of life., An experiment along this line
was made this summer and worked
admirably. There Is no reason why
this plan should not become a perma
nent feature of our city government.
The experience of the recent riot
should teach us to be unstinted in ap
propriating money for civic improve
ment. Increase taxes, or borrow money
If necessary and let us have a model
city. Lt It be clean, healthy, moral
and beautiful. Now Is the time to act,
while the public sentiment will sanc
tion such efforts, and after we have
once attained this goal and people have
learned to consider such conditions as
necessary and normal, no one will be
so rash as to advocate the abandon
ment of such a policy.
WEATHER BUREAU, J6 YEARS OLD,
WAS FIRST PROJECTED IN SOUTH
A Little Sketch of the Beginnings and Growth of the
Great Science, and Its Relation to the
People.
By J. B. MARBURY, 8sctlon Director.
learn the lesson.
-^ncp.tawi
It has been said that the weather
bureau was neither an Invention nor a
discovery, but an incident, and that
the Incident came about with the in
troduction of the magnetic telegraph.
Observations of the various atmospher
ic elements have been made for ages,
but it was impossible to utilize them
to foretell coming weather changes
until telegraphic communication be
tween distant points was established.
The birth of meteorology as a phys
ical science dates from the Invention
of its essential instruments, the barom
eter and thermometer. Before these
discoveries thero existed only desul
tory observations of the weather un
recorded save in the folk-lore of un
skilled persons; yet this took such firm
hold upon the mind that many of its
proverbs still remain In common use.
8Urtsd st ths South.
As early ns 1838 a record of temper
ature and rainfall was begun
Charleston, 8. V., by a Dr. Lining. These
Charleston observations were followed
by a series of greater or less extent
and completeness In various sections
of the United States, being the out
growth of private interests which of
ten flagged in the absence of any di
recting influence. They were irregu
lar in most cases and were not pre
served as public records.
The era of systematic observations
dates from about the year 1789, when a
series was begun In Bermuda by Hon.
Josiah Meigs, commissioned of the land
office. In January, 1817, he suggested
to congress tho pasHago of a resolu
tion providing for the keeping of me
teorological records at the different
land offices—these records to be sent
to the general land office at the close
of each month. Ho fulled to secure
the sanction of congress, but with the
aid of a number of hls subordinates,
carried on the work until hls death In
1822.
The next system cf observation was
established by the surgeon general of
the army In January, 1819, and has
boon maintained to the present. With
In a few years, the subject which was
too unimportant for the consideration
of congress In 1817, had attained a rec
ognized position as entitled to public
support.
Professor Henry Takes It Up,
Jn 1849 the Smithsonian Institution
began Its great work In the field of
American meteorology under the direc
tion of Professor Joseph Henry, who
gathered up, from all available sources,
past records of temperature and rain
fall. Thus lt was that in 1870 this In
stitution controlled all the meteorolog
ical recotds of this eountr>. Up to
this time meteorologists had confined
themselves chiefly to the collection of
data and study of the physics of the
atmosphere with reference to the "law
of storms.” The general law of storms
had been Investigated by prominent
scientists at home and abroad, but
their demonstration on the broad field
America and their practical applica
tion to weather forecasting awaited
further and more exacting research.
In 1831 it was first declared by Red-
field that storms were great revolving
htrlv.lnds that turned from right to
loft about the progressing center. This
fact coupled with Franklin’s discovery
that all storms moved from, west to
ast In crossing the United States,
ormwl the foundation upon which the
resent work of forecasting Is based.
The First Forecast.
The earliest attempt at publishing
predictions of future weather seems to
have been in 1858; In this reports Pro-
r Henry that when the map
c*d rain at Uincinnatl In the morn
ing it was considered an Indication of
rain at Washington the next day.
e development of the plans of Pro-
r Henry were Interfered with by
ivil war, but the Idea was revived
by Professor I’leveland Abbe, now of
bureau, then director of
the Cincinnati Observatory. In I#6fc
Professor Abbe succeeded In Interest
mere® in the project of daily weathfer
predictions, and began the issuance of
the "Weather Bulletin of the Cincin
nati Observatory,” w'hlch lasted from
September, 1869, to January, 1871, when
he was called to Washington to assist
In the formation of the forecasting
service of signal service.
Tho bill creating the United States
weather bureau, or signal service, as It
was first called, was passed by congress
February 9. 1870, and this new serv
ice went Into operation November 1 of
that year with about thirty stations
fully established. During the first 20
years of it* life the weather service
was under military control; Its chief
was an nrmy officer and the observers
were regularly enlisted mon. During
that period Its progress was slow and
tho demand for a strictly scientific bu
reau, unhampered by military regula
tions, resulted In a reorganization of
the service In 1891 and tho transfer of
the meteorological work to the depart
ment of agriculture.
At Its inauguration Its purpose was
the warning of storms upon the Great
Lakes and the Eastern seaboard, but
by natural extension It has become ft
bureau of record as well. Irt 1874 tho
Smithsonian Institution transferred to
lt nil the meteorological records col
lected in a long series of years under
that system. From that time the
weather service. In addition to Its fore
casting functions, has developed into
the most comprehensive bureau of rec
ords. Its files contain almost the en
tire mass of observations from the
curliest times, and additions are con
stantly made.
Work of the Bureau.
The weather bureau today la known
to the public chiefly through Its dally
forecast* of rain or fair, warmer or
colder, and lts estimate of the utility
of the servico Is based on the accuracy
of these predictions. Xheso predictions
are of great commercial value, but If
there never was another forecast Issued
Its value to the country would far
more than Justify the expense of main
taining It. It Is Impossible to estimato
the true value of the data secured by
this important branch of our govern
ment.* These data supply Information
relative to rainfall on the various
water sheds of our streams, so neces
sary In guiding engineers in the con
struction of water powers; they do*
termlne the conditions of heat, molsturs
nnd other elements of value to farmer
or home-seeker; they form an Impor
tant basis for judging the various
claims of different localities as health
resorts; they put valuable Informatlot
into the hands of physicians In dealing
with epidemic diseases; in short, the
benefits are far too numerous to sum
marize In nn article of this kind. The
work of the weather bureau has become
so closely allied with climate and agri
culture that one can not be considered
apart from the other.
During the past ten years the arms
of the weather bureau have been con
stantly spread out over the agricultural
interests of our country as never be
fore.
Storm Service.
Statistics'prove that one storm tra-
erslng our Eastern coast In the ab
sence of danger signals would leave not
than three million dollars* worth
of wreckage. This Is simply the money
alue of the property placed In a poal,
tlon of safety as a result of the warn
ings furnished vessel owners and mas
ters, but does not represent the value
of property saved. A few years ago a
severe storm from the West Indies
swept up the Atlantic coast. Warnings
of Its approach were sent to every city
along the Atlantic seaboard from Key
West, Fla., to Portland, Me., fully 48
hours before lt reached the coast of
Florida. After the passage of the
storm It was estimated by the officials
of the Savannah and Charleston boards
of trade that more than three million
dollars' worth of property had been
saved to those two cities alone, to say
nothing of the loss of life which might
have resulted had the many vessels
kept In harbor put to sea. This one
forecast pro veil a saving jo two cttle*
alone of nearly as much money as Is
(Ulred to maintain the entire weather j
service for three years. The people
J. B. MARBURY.
of the aevere cold wave of February,
1899, 36 hour* before It* arrival'and
in and immediately around Atlanta
fully a quartos of a million dollars’
worth of property was saved.' In this
city are half a dozen floral companies
whose investments aggregate more than
one hundred thousand dollars. With
out the warning of that one cold wave
their entire properties would have been
destroyed.
Cana Grower* Depend On It.
Sugar cane, the most Important prod
uct of Louisiana, Is peculiarly sensitive
to low temperature, and Is easily de
stroyed by frost. Whenever frost warn
ings are received from the weather
bureau all available labor Is utilized In
cutting the cane and placing It In a
position of safety. In thle way heavy
losses are averted annually. Some years
ago lt was estimated by the governor
of that state that nearly the entire crop
would have been destroyed but for the
timely receipt of a frost warning Issued
by the weather bureau. This mean* a
saving of several million dollars to a
single state.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are
saved to the orange growers of Flor
ida and the raisin interests of Cali
fornia every year. The warnings are
of untold value to the commerce on the
Great Lakes, rivers and oceans, to say
nothing of the overland transportation.
The saving of perishable goods In
transit benefits commerce, and these
benefits revert to the producer. Any
damago occurring to goods en route
from the producer to the consumer Is
at the cost of the producer. In the
early spring timely warnings of frost
are sent to the rurnl districts and dis
seminated as widely as conditions will
permit.
Telephone an Agsnt.
Owing to the Increase in the rural
free delivery and rural telephone ser
vice, supplemented by the co-operation
of the various railroad companies, the
eat her bureau Is now able to reach
the inhabitants of the most remote ru
ral districts on the day the warnings
or forecasts are Issued. In Georgia ful
ly 60 per cent of the white farmers are
able to avail themselves of these bene
fits.
We can not lift the velLand forecast
as to the future possibilities of the
weather bureau, but can see dimly
through the mist as we Judge the fu
ture by the past. Did the public realize
35 years ago what its records. Its daily
forecasts or Its storm warnings would
prove to be? Certainly not. It Is cov
ering a wide field of usefulness, and
year by year the experience of former
years Is built upon, and the future re*
search and discoveries will certainly
add much to our present knowledge of
meteorology* and the usefulness of the
weather service to the public.

MR. DOOLEY ON THE
. POWER OF THE PRESS
(P. F. Dunne, In American Magazine
for October.)
Th’ printed wurrudl What can I
do against It? I can buy a gun to
protect me against me Inlmy. I can
change me name to save-me tr’m th'
grand Jury. But there's no escape fr
good man or bad trim th' printed wur-
rud. It follow* me wherlver I go an'
sthrlke* me down In church, in me
office, In me very home. There waa
me frlnd Jawn D. Three year* ago
he seemed Insured against punish
ment ayether here or hereafther. A
happy man, a religious man. He had
squared th' llgtslachures, th’ courts, th’
politicians an' th' Baptist clargy. He
saw th' dollars hoppln' out In Ivry lamp
chlmbley In th' wurruld an' hurryln'
to'rd him. Hls heart was pure, seeln'
that he had nlver done wrong save In '
th' way Iv business Hls head was
hairless but unbowed. Ivry Monday
mornln' I read iv him leadin' a chorus
Iv "Onwnrd Chrlstyan sogers march-
in' f’r th’ stuff." He was at peace
with th' wurruld, th' flesh, an' th'
dlvvle. A good man! What cud harm
him? An' so it seemed he might pro
ceed to th' grave, whin, lo an' behold,
up In hls path leaps a lady with a pen
in hand an’ off goes Jawn D. fr th'
tall timbers. A lady, mind ye, dips
a pen into an Ink well! there’s an
explosion, an' what's left Iv Jawn D.
an’ hls power wudden’t frighten crows
away fr'm a corn Held. Who's afraid
Iv Rockyfeller now? The' prlsldint hits
him, a goluf caddy overcharges him,
an whin he comes baek fr'm Europe
he has as many polismen.to meet him
on th pier as Doc Owens. A year,
ago annybody wud take hls money.
Now if he wanted to give It even to
Chancellor Day he'd have to meet him
In a barn at midnight.
Down they come, these here Joynts
that have set on our necks fr years,
not crushed be th’ hand Iv th' law
which happens to be busy In their
pockets at th' time, or ahot out be th'
bombs Iv a rlvolutlon or even llglstated
out be Congress, but smashed bo wan
tap lv a lead pencil be a man or a wo
man that has about as much money as
wud buy cuttle fishbone fr their cana
ry bur'rds an' doesn't want anny more.
A cry goea up, "Here comes Ray-
porther Baker,” an' th' haughty Insur-
ance magnates break th’ mahogany
furniture an' th’ quarther-mlle record
In a dash fr th’ steamer. A novel
smashes th' beef thrust an’ a' blow
fr'm th' relentless Faber Number Two
knocks th' props out fr'm undher th'
throne Iv Rooshya. A young fellow
comes along an' writes a novel an’ th'
vtlllan lv It la th’ Boston an' Maine
Railroad. Th' vllllan lv all modhern
novels Is a corporation lv sptfc kind, a
packin’ house, karosene Jlr facthry or
a railroad. Th' Boston Jn’ Mains rail
road Is a handsome wretch that enthers
a peaceful New Hampshire village with
Its cursed city ways, deceives th’ hee-
rolne with a false bill Iv lading, forges
th' will an' acquires a morgredg on th'
old homestead, but It la foiled at last
by th' author. The state lv New Hamp
shire arises as wan man so lt seems,
an' culls upon th' young fellow to run
f r governor. None but writing men
need now apply. FY th' Itrat time In
thirty years we have a prlsldint who
Isn't a lawyer, th' well known an’ pop
lar author Iv “Alone In Cuba,” "Pri
vate Corryspondence” <27 volumes),
"Wild Beast* I Have Met In Wyo-
mlng an' Washington." "Th' Winning Iv
th' West an' How I Did It," an' so
forth. Th' hopes Iv th' Dlmmycratlc
party Is divided between th’ tdltor Iv
a Nebraska weekly an’ the Idttor Iv a
New York slventy times dally an' a
few at night.
Whin a state wants to llict a gov
ernor or a city a mayor they don’t go
as wanst they did to th' most graceful
tax dodger In th’ community fr advice,
but apply to th' pollytickal Intelligence
office set up be me frlnd Lincoln Stef
fens. No wan can get a Job without
a charackter from him; "Grover Cleve
land, honest but grumpy; don’t get
along with other servants an’ Is dis
posed to lecture hi* masters; Indus-
threous, but not very bright; wud
mnke a good Judge In a probate court;
since lavin' hls last place has been
keepln’ bad comp'ny.”
"Thaydore Rosenfelt; excellent man
Iv all wurruk, honest, sober, but a lit
tle quarrelsome. Sometimes thrles too
hard to please all hls employers at
wanst; wants to do too much rr thlm
at other times an' has been known to
compel thlm to take a hath when they
didn't need It. Wud make an excellent ■
watchman fr th' front dure, but doesn’t
pay much attention to th’ back Iv th’
house. Very well satisfied with hls
present position, but may have to '
make a change." "Wlllum Jennings
Bryan; has been a second man fr
years, a position to which he Is well
suited. Wud like to Improve hls con
dition. Cheerful, economical, but not
to be thrusted with silver.”

Savannah, Ga, 8ept. 29.—The coron
er's Jury Impaneled to Inquire Into the
death of Miss Alice Ormsley brought
In a verdict that the young lady came
to her death as the result of a criminal
operation performed by a person or
persons unknown to the Jury. The de-ft
fendante, a white man and women and
two negro women, were not put on the
stand. The verdict of the coroner's
Jury will have no effect on the status
of the defendants, and their cases will
be taken up by the grand Jury. The
body has been shipped to the father of
the dead girl at Wilmington N. C.

health?"
