PUBLIC THINKS ALL ARE CROOKED Atlanta Will Not Be Helped By The Recent Municipal ScandaL Atlanta, May 26.?It is a pretty generally admitted this morning that unless the big row over the Phagan case, between Attornev Thomas R. Felder, the police department and the mayor's office, results in some kind of cleanup, Atlanta will be worse off than she was before any crookedness was unearthed. Felder has succeeded in destroying a good many people's confidence in the police department, particularly the detective end of it. The police department has succeeded in destroying a good many people's confidence in the honesty of Mr. Felder and the way he was aiding the prosecution in the Phagan case. The integrity of Mayor Woodward has also been called into question for the first time in that gentleman's public career. Whereat, the somewhat natural tendancy of the public is to throw up its hands and exclaim, however unjustly, "They're all crooked." Now if these charges and countercharges can actually establish somebody's guilt, and that somebody, no matter which side he or they happen to be on, can be canned out of office or sent to the pen as the circumstances warrant, then Atlanta will have been done some good. But if nothing is proven and nobody is punished Atlanta will have been very seriously hurt. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Bureau of the Census. E. Dana Durand, Director. Washington. South Carolina.
