A Useful Mesalliance.
This telegram from a crows
nest Of observation sufficiently de-
tached from all personal contro-
versies to see things as they are
on the surface and under the
surface, expresses, / believe, an
accurate judgment. What APP
peared a sensational and revolu-
tionary suppression OF segregated
vice resorts was only the neces-
sary initiative for the evolution Of
Atlanta in a direction more and
more manifest every day.
Whoever thought we could leap
into Utopia at a single bound?
The movement beginning in the
simple appeal Of facts to moral
intelligence. and then in the sim
pie honesty OF law-logic. had TO
create its main moral muscle in
the conflict that followed with
money and men and women who
had been organized in lawlessness
and degrading vice: and it has
done so 1t will continue to get
stronger in the more difficult task
Of keeping Clandestine vice in
despair.

lately into the movement are not
