An unusual state of affairs was that presented- in the-Record- er’s Court on Thursday, whon Judge Broyles hnd before him again g violator of the automobile law who had had hjs license revoked for sixty days only a week ago. The charge was ex ceeding the speed limit, and the evidence developed a situation that wottid have been amusing if it had not been alarming— alarming in that the police department should have failed to de tect the number of the automobile or the identity of the man and arrest him for driving without a license, his having been revoked, ns stated, a week previous to his second arr^t for exceeding the speed limit. ,/ <''■ > • : - It is probably generally knowp tjj^t the'publisher of Tho Georgian is president of the Atlanta Automobile and Good Roads Club, but neither he nor the club countenanues for a moment the reckless driving of automobiles. -The club worked hard to have a state automobile law passed restricting tho speed of machines in this state. There, is no law applying outside of incorporated towns in Fulton county now, and a nriachineMnay run at aUy speed it can make as soon as it passes outside of any corporate limits. This is wrong. There are so many more people who walk or drive it/ the county, and so many more sane people who drive an auto mobile for pleasure than there are; those who are speed-crazed or possessed of an uncontrollable desire to race tii«iir>ars, that it is an injustice for the lives of all to’ ; be mcnacedihjVa few boys who have no thought of responsibility but-only a desire to see how many miles an hour cat) be gotten out of a machine. Some people do not understand why machines are made so thOy can go so fast,.and often a^k.tyhy manuJ^cTorers are allowed to turn opt stfcli mriehines. The trouble is. that, an automobile is compelled to have a great deal more power than is necessary for level running in order that it may be able to climb hills. An au- tonjohile weighing front 2,500 to 4,000 pounds requires a great' deal of power to pull it up the ateep hills. This power being in the engine, if allowed to exert itself on a level road simply drives the machine at enormous speed, with the result that some even reach 70 miles an hour. !We know of some men who boast of hav- * ing made 65 miles an hour in Fulton cotfht.v. Machines cau not be made to run at low speed only, and have power enough to pull the hills. But that is not the question, nor is the remedy to, he found in putting the limit on the inauufactui- or in building the machines. Boys and children are not, or should not, be allowed to han- die. spirited hq«ies—there is no guarantee that a horse Will,keep within-Certain speed. For ,ju*t as good reason, children, .or, for that matter, men who can twit drive utt automobile within the bounds of reason, Should tjpt he,allowed a license. And while we are waiting for the next session of the legisla ture to pass the automobile bill, we hope Fulton county will re strict in some way the reckless use of automobiles. May not the police department of Atlanta be a little more ’careful about enforcing automobile laws and thus save us from many of the accidents caused by violations of them!. ■ 1 , , The automobile is here to stay—it is only a step in progress and invention, and the prejudice agnitrsf it will tile drivay if .only we use it in a ratiouul, common sptuf. manner. . ,, , ,. , | Country members of the legislature come here bitterly prej- '■tidiced against automobiles—they have much reason to be, and unless automobilists use greater care and more consideration, we will wake up some day and find laws on the statute books that will render automobiles almost uaeletts. We know whereof we speak—wo saw the laws that were proposed at the last session. Enforce moderation, gentlemen of the police force, and back them up, Judge Broyles, without being harsh, ant} every sane au- tomohilist will stand by you and thank you. A'r-nfr ARMY-NAVY ORDERS —AND— MOVEMENTS OF VESSELS Haying with locomotive whistles. , We notice that the residents of Oakland City are complaining of the blowing of locomotive whistles. Few citizens of Atlanta, or nearby, are free from this annoyance. Nobody denlea the need of signaling with whlstlea In railroad work, but everybody denlei tho right of night en gineer* to play with the whistles of their engines at all houra of the night when nowhere near croaslnga and with no one about to warn off of the crosalngs. It Is difficult for us to understand how men who usitelly are noted for their blg-heartedness and klndneea as are railroad engineers, can be so thoughtless of the llvee and comforts of others. We say lives—have you ever teen a little tick child hovering between life and death with cholera ipfantum and similar troubles, fanned all night by a worn-out mother, trying to give It a few minutes of sleep, and some engineer would pUH tha whletld of hit engine wide open aud run a quarter of a mild with It ao, at two. three and fqur o'clock In the morplng? .Yea—it la ap, and If we can not have a law that will stop It. then eu «e not appeal to the men themselves at least to be human and let the tired workers sleep—though they, the engineers, must work through out the night hours. - Aa d rule, a railroad engineer la the biggest-hearted man In the world—he is always named "Bill"—59 44 100 of all railroad engineers are "Bills"—and not one of them but wfio would step down from bla steel giant gnd gladly throw hla own life to the winds to save a babe. Their very bravery Is Ibe child of their kindness, Now. "Bill," there ere a few fellow* not named Bill - who are not doing the.right thing by us and are making us lie awake nights because they like to hesr the nolae when they pull the valve. See what you can do to atop It for ue. Army Orders. Washington, Sept. 14.—Captain Per cy B.

To the Editor of The Georgian; In walking up Peachtree street one day this week. I noticed some pictures which were being displayed In front of the Grand Opera House, advertising the Devil's Auctloii” add as a resident of this ralr city, os a woman, and as a Christian who Is Interested In the wel. fore of the young men and young wom en of our city, I want to raise my voice In protest against such indecent dis plays upon our streets. There Is not a thinking man or worn, an In this city .who does i)ot realise the awful effect upon the morals, of our young people of such Impure pictures. There Is hot a man In our-f tty wHo Is ready to give hla life. If need be. to dffepd the her or of our Burnham wom anhood, but that must., confess that such displays a* this cause much of the trouble that'ave are' having with •the' low-down negroes who walk our streets. There Is not a woman who has son* and daughters, and who desires to train them up Into lives of purity anil i Ightbousncss, but ttiat knows that this Is almost Impossible, when they an surrounded on all aides by pictures so suggestive of that which If impure and unclean. I want to .appeal to your paper, which ha* done such a grand work In helping to bring about so many needed reforms, to. use your Influence- toward wiping out this evil. Along with, the other re forms which are sweeping over pur city aud state. If seems to me ihat It Is lime for uy to rise up and demand that this thing be put nut of our midst. Isn't there n law against such vile displays as this? If not, isn't It time that one be passed? Yours In the fight for righteousness and truth, ' (MISS) LUCY IRBY. 429 Luckle street.

The remarkable number of bidder* for the 140,000,000 of bonds offered by Nest York city I* the country's emphatic denial of the possibility of a serjous financial panic. For tbeae bonds there were bids made from every section of the country and the demand was far greater than the amount issued. The agitation tn money circles, greatly encouraged by corporations which have felt the restraining power of state and national legislation, must at an early date become a matter of ancient history. The good crop news, the financial aid of the government In moving the crops and the absolutely healthy conditions of alt legitimate business en terprises’ will nil. play an Important part In blocking a game which many corporation* were ruthlessly playing with the beat business Interest* of the nation. Well-known financiers, while dolefully discussing the "depressing” condition of the money market, hurried to New York with a surplus of cash to Invest In these New York bonds. These and other more hopeful Investors of the country have put a period to further doubt by their anx iety to become owners of some of the New York bonds. Tbl* sale brings a grateful rift In the clouds,, which have arisen about the national borl- xon, because of the manipulation* of disgruntled corporate Interest*. TODAY’8 COTTON KING.

The Philadelphia Telephone: Compa ny's order to It* flrl operators to cease sayl.ig “please" to Its patrons Is the subject' of varying newspaper com ment. The Boston Globe says of "the passing of politeness:" , "Our fathers believed In polite forms. In the days of our grandfathers the properly-taught child In Ills corre spondence addressed hla father as 'Honored Sir.' Doubtless there are some hitrail cynics tvho affect to be lieve that the boy of today' I* un accountably gracious In not Insisting that the old custom be reversed am his parent*- tn their correspondence address him as ‘Honored filr.' ■ "Anyway. It la terrible to think of the waate of time, to say nothlmt of anil paper, that the ancient form tailed, rionslder the time also that General Grant lost at Fort Donelaon when. In writing to General Buckner that ‘no terms except an unconditional anil Immediate surrender can be con sidered. I propose to move Immediate, ly upon your works.' concluded with the strange statement: 'I am, sla ye respectfully, your obedient seP(vn And General Buckner, admitting that he had to accept the 'ungenerous and unchlvalrous terms,' did not forget tn add that he waa, with great respect, General Grant's 'very obedient serv ant.' "!t Is horrifying that so much time should hove been watted, but we are forced to confess that the type of gen tleman which this old achool of polite addresa turned nut compels the admi ration ever, df this hurrying age." Americans are noted as the moet Im polite people In the world. Their ab ruptness and brusqueness of manner shocks the sensibilities of the French. Italian, Fpanlsh-.-lndeed, all the Latin peoples. In this respect the American offend* unconsciously. He la equaled only by the Englishman tn rudeness. There are exceptions. There are men of inherent or cultivated politeness among all races and tn all climes. In this country the' Southern people have always been more polite and courteous than thetr Northern neighbors, speak ing generally. The South, however. Is becoming more and more like the North In this respect. This is to be regretted. Nothing Is more attractive than the graclousneaa and charm of manner-and manners characteristic of the old South. Politeness., however, can be come oppressive, and when excessive It is somewhat ridiculous. There are fonns of politeness which not only mean nothing, except custom or habit, but which often seem absurd. "If the honorable gentleman makes that assertion, then the honorable gentleman Is an Infamous liar." in his letter to General Buckner General Grant sub scribed himself “your obedient serv ant." A* a matter of fact, as both and everybody tur. he was an enemy who was trying to kill or capture Ruckn-r. He might have written “respectfully," or "with great respect," and have kept within the bounds of truth ns well as politeness. A ■ man may respect the enemy he Is trying to kin, and In wav may have the kindliest personal feel ing for the opposing commander, but he I* not hla obedient servant by a long ■hot. Grant and Buckner merely used a polite form of expression common In those day*. A more elaborate form was "I beg. sir. to subscribe myself your moat obedient and humble serv ant." The modern writer cuts It down to "Reept." Politeness, of the old sort. Is In danger of being crowded oft the sidewalk tbeae days. Special to The Georgian. Charleston, 8. C., Bept. 14*—In the last two days the police of Charleston have Belzed about ten wagon loads of liquor, hundreds of gallons from the office of the Southern Express Compa ny and cars of the Atlantic Coast Line and Southern railway, taking the bit Into their teeth and invading the strongholds of the transportation com panies, alleging that the companies have allowed the tigers to come Into thetr places of business and get their liquor, or that the Illicit stuff hai* been reconslgned, tn violation of the law. Bottlle Brothers, of Augusta, have beer, large losers by these unexpected raids, and have served claim and de livery papers on Mayor Rhett, In an effort to recover the liquor they have lost. Some of the liquor is of a high grade. Probably eighty cases or pack ages of liquor have been nabbed by the police, breaking a)( local raiding records. Thirty-eight cases of high-grade whiskies were captured from the At lantic Coast Line and eight cases from the Southern railway today. The wholesale tigers and the transportation companies here are wild over the un expected move Uy the Charleston au thorities.
