THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. SATURDAY. OCTORER 27. IMG. LETTERS TO GEORGIAN FROM READERS ON TIMELY TOPICS .Ruminations of a Route C '•HHHMMII CRIME; ITS CAUSES 0 AND TREATMENT. (Based on Phrenology.) T „ the Editor of Tho Georgian: T l, e question now presenting Itself forcibly to the minds of thinking peo ple Of both races. What are we to do H-ltl, the rapist and criminal? deserves tlie most serious meditation to which H,e human mind Is. susceptible. since the established mode, now In operation, of treating the criminal by indicting punishment has not been sue- cessful, but. an eminent failure, and j Hon. John Temple” Gra\”es”and br. " a! -mce crime goes on increasing in c - Ward. Mr. Graves has for several .mount In proportion as punishment making speeches on the ne- Sm ' ihundant,y adml “-i I ever heard preach, and I enjoy his editorials. It Is Just as Dr. Ward says, tho more the negro Is educated the arner To the Editor of The Georgian: ..There has been a heap said about the negro and the recent riots of At lanta. I beg you for a space In your up-to-date paper In reference to the negro. There has been a good lot said by great divines and people of note, but I dare say that thsre It none that has struck the key-note more forcibly than j, a3 been abundantly administered, we mnuld no longer shut our eyes to the conclusion which experience has estab' lUlied. Let the causes of crime be what they niay . punishment has not yet been suc cessful In removing them; therefore, can not on any ground of reason be maintained that It, within itself, Is suf- dclent for the purpose. Since there Is no more time now for falsified Imagination, erroneous as- ■umptlon nor hypothetic reason, wheth- ,, Inspired by sincerity or self-aggran- diiement. the time has come to act, «blch must be done wisely and Justly to both criminal Individually and so ciety In general, and there being no ether guidance to wise and Just action but science. It must be done scientifi cally, If at all, and In this Instance phrenologlcally. The divine administration of human affairs Is perfect: however, let our first ,tep in comprehending crime, which belongs to human, be to look upon It as It actually exists. Secondly, compare the nature of the crime with the nature of the man's constitution physically and mentally, to we are farther off now than then, as jxhlcli he Is designedly adapted, that we far as crime Is concerned. I would to might know how and where It begins; our living God that every man, white after this Is ascertained we will know or black, had the love of Ood In his how and where to begin treatment. soul and was educated, but where does It is useless to dwell upon various it amount to anything with our young more keenly he feels the race-barrier which exists between himself and the whlte.man, I eay while some of our good old-time negroes are trying to educate and civilise the young gener ation of negroes, the majority of our negroes are overstepping the bounds of reason and acting In such a way as to cause him trouble with the white man. Now, the negroes make a great howl about lynching. If they would stop and think what would be the consequence of a white man under the same circum stances In case of an outrage and would be the same thing. The negro must learn that this Is a white man's coun try and he will rule at all hazards. There Is no mistake of the white man being a friend to the negro that be haves himself and stays in his place. Now, some of the good men say that we must educate them. Some say that the thing to do Is to Christianise them. .We may do that after a while, I have good men. such as Bishop Turner bu 5 w ® f ha y® ne Y* r h *d any success as and Revs. Proctor and Bryant, though We have Been trying to educate | they laugh them to scorn and pass J them by. onlze him and send him to himself, say, why should two races continue to live together In constant hatred to one another? it is an awful state of af fairs tb be in. There Is no mistake but what has been keeping down a race war between the races Is law and Christianity of all good people. The people are aroused over this question more than any one thing that has hap pened In years. OOr country people don’t want tho negro at all: he will not work out In the country for wages nor will many work a crop. The negroes are getting scarce In the country dls tricts and you can't get one at any reasonable price to work. They seem to all wont to get to town and worit at public works, what little they do work. Just look If you please at loaf. Ing negroes there. In Atlanta on Da catur street and Peters street. You can not hire them at all only to clean out a barroom or something of that kind. He cnly cares for one meal a day and some cheap whisky, and he Is In his glory. I am glad the council saw flt to revoke some of thoee dens of whisky there was on Decatur street, for It was a curse to the fair name of our great Atlanta. People that work don't have much trouble getting along, but thoee that loaf around are always breaking the law apd stirring up strife. We have spent money and furnished Bibles and preached the Word of God to the negro and educated him and can't do anything with him so far. The young negro will not take advice from anybody of his race or ours. They. nnd Christianize for forty years and crlmcF. since we know their nature, therefore, consider causes. In every Instance of crime the very let is to gratify the peculiar desire In the mind of the criminal who acts, therefore, the desires of the mind are known by the acts themselves; also, the acte requisite to the gratification of the desires. Then It remains for phrenology and phrenology alone to point out the criminal with these desires before he acts, or to describe the or ganic constitution that la prone to such action for the gratification of Its de- (Ires, whlch-nothlng else will satisfy; that we might knew what we aro to treat. Many crimes are committed by force, aeemlngly, rather than desire. Temptations, Inducements and In fatuation of the brain by intoxicating liquors contributes largely fo the minds of partial equilibrium; Such minds have no decision or positive direction. Consequently, since the mind Is de pendent on the brain for Its manifesta tion and exercise. Its manifestation and exercise run not bo otherwise than the development of the brain by culti vation nil) permit, notwithstanding the capaciousness and comprehensiveness of mind; Its manifestation and exer cise Is limited and characterized by the power nnd disposition of the brain, therefore, by the brain's development, we know not what the mind desires; but what it Is compelled to put forth If It puts forth anything at all. Nature operates always and every where by means of organs or Instru mentalities—never without them. Or- canlsm la in perfect correspondence with the function; thus, when nature would put forth power of function, she does so by means of the power In the oriran which puts It forth, nnd, so of quickness and all other functional con ditions. How can weak muscles put forth strength? A sluggish brain put forth activity? etc., etc. Then, since tile brain Is the fountain head of nil action, let us study it In Its congeries of organs, that we might eubdue the excessively active or per verted and excite action In those which aro deficient or Inactive, because, for the want of exercise, these faculties •Ink Into u gradual Insensibility of their duty and obligation. The brain is divided Into three great elasses—the animal propensities, moral Jentlmente, and Intellectual faculties. These have their respective groups, which In turn have organs. Phrenology locates the animal pro pensities at the side of the head be tween and around tho ears; the social ■Tactions, In Hit back and lower por- nsplrlng faculties. In Its Jown: the moral, on Its top; the Intel- actual, on the forehead; the percep- tlres, which relate us to matter, over the eyes; the reftectlves, In the upper Pan nf the forehead. Now, since brutes Jave little moral and reflectlves, have uttle top head, alinoat all their mentall- ? consists of the animal propensities. negroes? The North has been giving the negroes thousands of dollars to ed ucate them and does crime decrease? Moat assuredly it does not. Just take the police docket and tho atate docket and you plainly see at a glance that crime among the young negroes is In creasing yearly. Now, I will say that our old-time negroes are not giving us much trouble nor never have, but they are playing out fast and soon will be a thing of the past. I must say right hear that the old-time ne groes have In the past been trying to hold the young generation down to some extent, for which they deserve a great deal of credit. I do not think there was any mis take forty years ago In freeing the ne gro at ell. What can the negro expect here with our people? Does he ex pect to rule this country? Doss he expect to be equal with the white man? Most assuredly he does not. The only way I can solve the problem Is to col- We have done our duty toward the negro as men and as Christians and financially. We have given help in all undertakings toward educating his race, but ne don't seem to appreciate these things as a mass. This Is not the blare for the negro any more than It was the Indian. Let him go to hts own country and have his own govern ment to himself, for this Is a white man's country. -Give him a good price for his present property and If needs be help him to hit own country. There are thousands of people that would pay a special tax to carry him to a land to himself. I am opposed to mobs and mob law, buj as long as the negroes of this country continue such lawlessness of crimes they may expect such to be their doom. Let our good thinking men of our good lend do something to set tle the biggest problem that has come before this country. I will say In conclusion, as the younger set of both races get older, greater wilt be the problem. Your* very respectfully. W. D. M'MICHAEL. Stone Mountain, Ga., R. F. D. No. 1.

Mllledgeville, Ga. To the Alumnae and Friends of the Georgia Normal and Industrial Col lege and Dr. J. Harris Chappell: J. Harris Chappell, the beloved pres ident of the Georgia Normal and In dustrial College, died April 6, 190#. Through hie untiring energy and deep devotion, he has made this institution one of the greatest factors for good In the state, and he did more for the gen uine education of Georgia girls than any other oric person, touching as he has hundreds of young lives and Incul- eating In their hearts and minds the highest Ideals of true womanhood. Dr. Chappell truly gave his life, were, to the girls of Georgia. Being cut off, while yet In his prime and vigor of Intellectual life, when he felt that his work was but half fin ished, we, the faculty and alumnae association, desiring to perpetuate his memory here, and to continue In his name the work he began, are under taking to establish a fund to be desig nated as the J. Harris Chappell Schol arship Fund, the same to be safely in vested, and the annual Income used for the education, In thla Institution, of worthy girls, who could not otherwise receive an education. We desire to raise, not lese than two thousand dollars (12,000). It Is our wish that the necessary fund be the gift of not a few only, but of a large number of Dr. Ch&ppetl'a friends. It Is not the sum contributed, but rather the number of contributors that will give the memorial Its chief significance.

To the Editor of The Georgian: If the views of an Atlantan who does not live on Peachtree but very near It are to be considered, I think It an unwise proposition to remove the car tracks from Peachtree, t travel this street twice dally and know that a great deal of Atlaitta'a advertisements from visitors from abroad are from those who having only, a short stay In the city take ear rides on this street.

To the Editor of The Georgian: It Is very hard for me to realise these lines, are to be nenned to the memory of our sainted brother and friend, Sam P. Jone*. who has passed the earthly tolls of this life; but it Is really true, for some of us have stood by the flow er-bedecked casket and looked on hts cold but peaceful and calm face. Though his llfework Is ended, he has fought a good fight; he has finished his course, but his works will follow him, and Sam Jones' name and Influ ence Will follow the coming centuries, and Ood will use them for the glory of His kingdom. His equal Is not to be found, and the work he was fol lowing, as It seems to us, will suffer; but God, In Hls/all-wlse providence, has seen flt to take him to Himself, and will work out the greatest problem. To us It seems a great gap, but He will fill It In some mysterious way. We know not how, but all to the honor and glory of Himself for which Mr. Jones worked. It is sad to think we will never look upon his face nor hear his voice again In this world, but we wilt meet him over on the other shore. The greatest loss the world will feel 111 be In the godly dally life h and It can be truthfully said I. about doing good. He did thla In many ways, too numerous to mention them ell. But we will .name some of the most prominent among them. . In his passing to and fro through the land It was his custom to seek those that were In trouble, or sick, and offer his sympathy and means, If needed, to them. He administered to tho poor and needy, and would also seek those that were poor In spirit, and administer to their wants and point them to the “Balm of Gilead," to which was his main object In this Ilfs, and which lay nearest his heart. Mr. Jones' life should, and will be, an Incentive to men to live truer, no bler lives In the future; and God grant It may so Impress them to more fully realize the necessity of a purer, every day life like his was, for he preached and lived the life he professed. He had the welfare of hts fellow-man at heart, and the poor wives and children of the drunkard. He pleaded with men. with that fervency which characterized so hts being, to turn to God and drink of that fountain which would ever quench them, that they would never thirst any more. Mr. Jones fought the liquor traffic with all the ardor of his soul, know ing the awful results which follow the cup which "stlngeth like an adder and blteth like a serpent." It can not be said that Mr. Jones was egotistical In the least; but we all know he was prominent, among all classes and denominations, and he will not only be missed by bis own church, but by all humanity, both saint and sinner. He fought aln In all Its forms and hated It with all the power of hla soul, and It wasn't men he hated; It was their wicked ways, and he pleaded with them to turn and come to Him whom would make their ways of pleas antness and all their paths wbuld be peace. Mr. Jones was unique In his style of preaching, and could hold the attention of more people than any llvlpg man, and no doubt led more men to tho "way of life" than any other preacher. He was not understood by n great many people, and I have heard him eay that he wouldn't be understood till his body was under the sod. Tho Master so planned It, It seems, for some good purpose, and the world will know now and more fully realise the' course he pursued than ever before. I knotv there are men more capable of doing Justice to his memory nnd life, but It affords mo tho greatest of pleasure to pay what trlbuto I con to the man I loved deep down In my heart, and I hope the passing of this beautiful life from earth to heaven will revolution ize-the hearts of men throughout this broad land of ours as they have never been before. And may the wise Father be with and comfort tho lonely hearts of his dear ones left behind, and may they follow the beckoning hands of his while spirit which has answered the Thorns for the Living, Flowsrs for D?ad | To the Editor of The Georgian: That was a beautiful, brilliant and appropriate editorial which you wrote In eulogy of Sam Jones and Tom Wat son. They have been our men of genius. They have labored for humanity, on* as a preacher and prophet, tha other as a politician and patriot. They have worked brilliantly and boldly. They have been consistent and faith ful. They have been earnest and true. They have wrought courageously and without fear. They have won the applause of mil lions, and they have suffered the mean est of persecutions. They have been praised and they have been slandered. One Is dead, and we lovingly and tenderly cover his grave with flowers; the other lives, and some of us still place thorns In his path. In one case, responding to tho better element In our natures, we see the greatness and thp goodness of the man, and we praise the work he has done for God and for humanity; In the other case, guided by personal Interests, or blinded by prejudice, some of us criti cise, persecute and refuse to believe In the sincerity of the patriot. When Sam Jones was alive, soma of us admired him extravagantly and some of us fought him meanly, even bitterly. No one doubts now that Bam Jones was a great man. If we Judge a preacher by the else of hit congregations, there has been no greater preacher In modern times; If we Judge a lecturer by his continued popularity In every section of the Union, we see that no lecturer was In greater demand; If we Judge an orator by tho effects of his oratory, wo have seen few more powerful orators. If wo Judg# a humorist by his never-falling power to please, he was a great hu morist; If we Judge a philanthropist by the percent ot his wealth, which he gave away, he ranks high; If we judge a man by his heart, surely hers was a man. That Sam Jones, as he walked in our midst, was a man of genius and a man of Ood, no one will deny. He Is loved In every part of the state and throughout tho nation. We see beautiful tributes In the pa pers, and we hear beautiful eulogies In the pulpit. In the home, on tho streel| summons, "Come up higher. It Is enough." F. M. WALTON. Csss, Ga.. Oct. 22, 1906.

We are saddened at his death; we didn't know how much wa loved him, or how much he was admired, or how great he really was. Yet, when Sam Jones was alive ho fought tho bitterest opposition and the meanest persecution of any preacher of this ago. He was maligned, ridiculed, slandered, lied about. But through it all ho fought the good fight. I wonder if Sant Jones really knew how much ho was beloved. Strong as he was, and brave as he was, I wonder If ho would not have been helped If he could only have known how much we loved him here In Georgia. How gladly we listened to his preach ing; how eagerly we read his articles In the papers; how truly we loved his brave and great soul. But Bam Jones Is dead. There are flowers for hts grave and fame for hit name. Tom Watson still lives, and fights. At tlifies, he fights brilliantly, grandly, and at times some think unwisely. But he has kept the faith which he early espoused. He has the heart of a poet, the soul of a reformer, the tongue of an orator, and the pen of a genius. At times he may be extreme. He has undertaken to champion reforms; he is leading In a fight; he mutt expect success and failure, praise and slander. It has ever been so. Soma day Tom Watson will die; selfish Interests will no longer misrep resent him; political opponents will no longer fear him; the voice of criticism will be hushed. Georgia will then heap flowers upon the grave ot a brilliant son. Mr. Editor ot The Georgian, all praise to you tor giving flowers to the living. You have always done so. But why do the people withhold tho flowere? Why do they hold back the eulogies? Why do they put thorns In the paths of tho living and flowers on tho graves of the dead? Yet, It has ever been thus. The greater the fight, the greater the oppo sition; the more Important the reform, the more bitter the opposition. Even He. who was more than man. was persecuted, was lied about and was nailed to a cross. The prophets were stoned, and even Socrates, the noblest and purest of the Greeks, was forced to drlok hemlock on the false charge that he was cor rupting the morals of the youth. George Washington was ridiculed, and Jefferson suffered bitter opposition. More recently, Bryan and Roosevelt (each great and true) have suffered many unkind and unjust criticisms. And so Watson and many othar Georgians have not always found flow ery beds of ease. Watson, on his fiftieth birthday, writes as follows (Watsoh's Magazine, October): “Who would bo a drone In the hive? Who would be a deserter from tha fight? Shall trumpets call strong men to the fields ot human effort, and I ploy dastard? ‘‘Never, by the splendor of God! “Better the march and the struggle and the heart-break of failure than the selfish refusal to tryt “Bettor the battle, the good fight, and the defeat, than the craven lurking In the rear. “Of all things contemptible Is the man who follows with the hungry eyea of Jealous rage and hate the bigger, loftier men who marched while he hung back, tolled while he looked on, fought while he ran away. ‘‘Give mo the man who will live and die for his Ideals, who will surrender no righteous position without a fight, who will perish rather than pollute his soul by apostasy from Right! "Better—a thousand times better!— the tempest and the shipwreck with such a creed than the Inglorious rotting at the wharf with any other. “Better a Waterloo and a glorious death In the squares of the. Old Guard, than worldly pensions and honors lor bass betrayal of cause and country. “So I thought at twenty. So I think at fifty. ' , "And I have scars to show for It. And, like any other soldiers of the wars, I am proud of them.” After all, should not every reformer look for difficulties and failures? Possibly through disaster aifd suf fering our great men really develop their best qualities. Poets often learn In suffering what they teach In song. Martyrs, through persecution, advance their cause. Sometimes the reformor reaps the reward of his efforts; but oftener he will (read upon thorns while living and will be covered with Dowers when dead. (Signed) A GEORGIAN.

Recognising the present conditions as not being due wholly to either race- or wholly to this generation, we take the conditions as they are and will en deavor to make them as they ought to be. 2. Recognizing that there ore good and bad in both races, we will stand for tlie.unlty of the good ID both races for the betterment of all. 3. Recognizing: the Importance of re ducing racial friction to a minimum, we will avoid unnecessary racial Irrita tion by word or deed. 4. Recognizing In crime a fruitful zource of race troubles, we will oppose the existence of any placo known to breed crime. 5. Recognizing the necessity of great er respect for law, we will not shield criminals nor will we tako the law In our own hands, but will co-operate with the officers of the law, and as far as practicable will assist them In the apprehension of criminals. 6. Recognizing the adequacy nf tho Iniv for the punishment nf all crime, wc will stand for the prompt and legal punishment of all criminals, and for the rapist swift legal execution. 7. Recognizing the paramount Impor tance of racial Integrity, we will stand for that racial Integrity which applies to both races alike. g. Recognising that neither race de sires to mingle socially with .the other, wo will oppose the encroachment of tho members of one race on the social res ervations of the other. 9. Recognising ours tn be nominally n Christian community, wc will take for our Ideal as races the Golden Rule, ANOTHER VIEW OF IT. To the Editor of The Georgian: Twice you have called thoughtful men to seek the germ of the rapist. Some nf your correspondents point toward It, and Tillman. In the fifth proposition of his Augusta speech, un covers It. I will sqi expose the root of the evil that It can not be hlddon. , The white man who pollutes his blood by begetting a mulatto commits a worse outrage on his own offspring than the rapist does on his victim, and makes It perpetual. He is an enemy to his raro and country. Stop this nnd there will be qo rase troubles. Let white men respect the white race nnd negroee will reapect the white race. Let white men continue to pol lute their race and the negro will con tinue to attempt the same. The daughters of our race a thou sand limes more need protection from being born mongrels than from an other outrage. Our tone need protection not only from being the victims, but from be ing the perpetrators, of this crime. Will you throw this atone among the glass houses? WHITE MAH. THE BLACK CROSS. To the Editor of The Georgian: The writer approaches the. expression of .opinion on the much-mooted ques tion of negro rights In a spirit of In quiry, nnd Is hopeful of drawing out from some of your correspondents tho best that is in them In reply. First. Shall we tle -up to tho natural human Instinct, favor of fair play and lawful, united action? Most people would say yes. In that case would It not be well "to eliminate from public discussion those excited writers who are willing to murder the innocent for the sins of the guilty? And where we. the majority, are solidly united In the demanifthat for the crime of rape the punishment shall be death, can we not unitedly agree and enact that the trial shall be behind "closed doofs, the guilt established by lawful methods, the swift punishment meted out by sworn officers? "Why not? Here I choose to “rest”—as the pros ecuting officer says In court, nnd I ask some writer to meet me on this ground, leaving out all tide questions of every nature. After we have safely passed this one point ot discussion under the head of "The Black Cross” I will raise another If I draw out expression from tom* writer wlK"v views rise above the plant of advising Irresponsible kill ings. Isn't It really a question of Incipient anarchy with which we are to deal, as witness tha spread of tho practice of Illegal killings all over tho United States? And‘does It not contain the seed of propagation and promise great expan sion and the Inclusion of other crimes than rape? Very truly yours. JAMES H. TALBOT. MY SOUL IMPRISONED HERE.

Huluda, X. c. ■ ; THE NEGROES FAVOR "SEPARATION.’ race as we would have tjie other race do to us. , and will endeavor to do to the other I A n to us. ATLANTAN. To the Editor of The Georgian; I see In your paper that you prefer the separation of the two race* • - We, the negroes, pray for separation as the laws of the state have failed tp protect us and guarantee our lives who are Ignorant of any crime. We ltnvo no more confidence In the protection of the law* of Oeorgla. We ask youb earnest support In bringing about sep aration. Can not Georgia territory her negroes somewhere In the state? Why could.lt not be done? It would be the best thing the state could do for both races. The negroes are all wilting nnd ready, and If by mutual agreement, whjs can't It be done? Reasonable satisfaction could therefore be between them. Let each look nut for himself. That would bring an end to the race trouble. We are subject to outbreaks at any time, which the law can not control. We nre the topic of all the elections of the state, which we have no Interest In nor take no part. To separate us would relieve the whit# man of a great burden and" at th* same time relieve the negro from being responsible for other faults and give the Innocent a chance to live. If you will help to bring about a separation, please to 1st us know through your honorable paper. (Signed) FRED T. CAUSEY. 232 West Mitchell street, Atlanta, G^.
