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.

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.” CRIMINAL OPERATION WAS CAUSE OF DEATH. f! tomorrow tit It n. ra, so,I f P tn. samfsy •-! !o tlie pnstor nt 11 o'clock.

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.
