Women are foo fin** to be noltlnh, nnd the street ears are
always a place, for a considerate sharing of one’s ad
vantages with other people.
On the other hand, let it be understood by the men
that all the women, young and old, who go oa the cars at

Reciprocal Courtesy on the Street Cars.
■ , A correspondent, who request* that his name be not
mentioned, tella The Georgian the story of a recent trip
from Grant park In which aereral ladles were allowed to
stand during the entire Journey, while several aounfl and
healthy gentlemen remoraeleaaly retained their aeata.
One case mentioned by our correspondent was fla
grant in the extreme, in which a lady atandlng and bold
ing to the end of the seat on which aat two hearty, well
dressed men, was continually tossed by the lurches of the
car against the end of the seat and against-tbe shoulder
of on* of the young men, who retained hi* tranquillity—
and hi* seat—unmoved.
Our correspondent feels greatly aggrieved at thla
scene, and desires that we punch the offending gentlemen
with our pen.
We have long Intended to say something along this
line, and this perhaps Is as good a time as any other to
do so. Conditions Dave changed very much In the South
within recent years, although they ought never to have
changed. .The multiplication of women In business voca
tions and the strong competition which they make with
men In clerical and subordinate stations of work has
done much, we fear, to wear off the One edge of courtesy
that was the glory of the old South.
To say that we lament this does not express the
scope of the regrot which we feel at the lapso of n cus
tom which was so distinctly Southern and so distinctly
noble that It has done ranch to add to the roputo and to
the prestige of tbit section among all the civilised coolers
of the republic.
A lady of Georgia, recently returning from n visit
to tbe East, remarked that what moat Impressed her
while away was tbe brutality of the men to the women
ss noted on the street cart and In the public places. "1
have never before,” said she, "been so much In love with
the South and Its gentlemen as I am today, and t am
glad to bo once more where ladles receive consideration
from tbe knightly men of onr Southern land.”
There are. of course, two aides to this question *of
street car courtesy. We plant ouraelves In tho beginning
ij]ion tbe proposition that no gentleman who la able to
stand ought ever to be seated In the Sooth when a wo
man la standing near. To do thla la an Insult to the tra
ditions of onr fathers and to the repate of the South
tor a hundred years. There la nothing short of old age
or decrepit health which can Justify auch an essential
* breach of courtesy as this. Men who are able to stand
at all stand in such a garb and In such a relation to other
men that whether they are tossed by rapidly moving cars
or not. they are not exposed to awkwardnoss or to em
barrassment, and are not themselves affected by the rude
Jostle against other men. It is not so with women. Their
nature, their modesty, tbo clothes that they wear, all
makq It Impossible for them to endure such discomforts
with the same composure as men, and no gentleman who
respecta hla mother, his wife, his sister or his daughtor
would be willing to aee a woman subjected to such dis
comfort or to such embarrassment aa these conditions
may .afford. Thla much la fundamental and can never 'be
cnongod until the spirit and the temper of the raco of
gentlemen who make up tbe South Is entirely chsnged.
But, with this much sold, there are other things
which should also be understood.
One reason why men sometimes forget to extend
thoit courtesies Is that women are frequently forgetful
to make proper recognition of the sacrifice which la thus
entailed. It Is no ordinary discomfort to a tired man to
rise from a seat Into which he has Just gratefully dropped
and to stand through a rushing trip of five or sevsi
miles, wh4)e some young, strong and-healthy woman drops
tranquilly Into It without ever stopping for a moment
to make an acknowledgment of tbe unusual courtesy
she has received. It will hurt no woman, however refined
and delicate the may be. to say and to look “I thank you"
at any man, whatever his station, who has been at leaat.a
gentleman to the extent of making this sacrifice In cour
tesy to her sex and to himself. The women who do not
sojr "l thank you” are the women who are destroying
among the men thla pleasant and courtlous custom of
reverence, and as they are responsible for any lapse lu It,
they should make haete to correct in the beginning their
own deficiencies for the sake of the future comfort of
themselves and of other women.
Moreover, there ought to be among women of thla
gensratlon some consideration In their hours of travel
for the .working hours of tired men. It would be a piece
of appreciated consideration If women would not time
their hours of going home from the shopping trip which
might be made at any hour of the day, to that particular
hour,, when men, weary with the day’s work, are Jugt
going home to their families at < o'clock .In the eve
ning. This Is too frequently the esse and too many wo
men, young and old, who might conclude their shopping
a half hour or an hour earlier, are too often Incon-
sldeiflte In sailing indifferently Into tbe crowded car at
6 p. m., complacently accepting the sacrificial courtesy
ef some tired clerk, who after haring been on hla feet all
day, baa just breathed an ejaculation of thankfulness for
the opportunity of alttlng down during the half hour or
the hour’s Journey to hla suburban home.
It would also be an appreciated act of consideration
If these good women would not time their hours for an
airing or an outing to thla particular time on a summer
day. the period just about 6 o’clock it always the
period of the home going of business and working mea,
and It would be a sweet and thoughtful kindness If ladles,
youmf and old, would atlrt their outing Into the suburbs
for air and recreation at least as early aa half past 5. so
that they might not crowd theay weary workers out of
their seats, and upon the return trip they would, of
( course, have the greater part of the car to themselves.
l . This much In behalf of the men. Women should be as
It considerate and appreciative toward men as men are
■ courteous and sacrificing to the ladles. Consideration In
E women and recognition makes courtesy easy In man.
clerks' who have been standing upon their feet nil day
or digging over the typewriter, or selling tape behind the
counters, or fitting dresses to Irritable and tired society
women who are aa trying upon tbelr nerves as on all-day
stand would be. These women have the highest possible
claim upon the gallantry and the chivalry of men. They
are neither so strong nor so stalwart as men. They are
not dressed to occupy tbe alsleB. and they ought by every
law of manly courtesy to have tbe aeata In tho cars.
|And so, aa the matter must be In doubt. It can only
be solved by that primal law of courtesy which stamps
the Southerner as tbe moat gallant and moat courteous
and most considerate man toward hla women In all the
world. When the matter is In doubt always solve It In
favor of the ladles, and aa the matter Is nearly always
In doubt, there can be no other rule In the street cars
than that every gentleman who Is strong enough or
young enough to stand should give bis seat to The lady

possible.
It has been n Ibng and Interesting discussion, and
public opinion has been very much divided on the sub-
Ject. While It Is true that a majority of the board of
experts sent to Investigate tbe matter reported In favor
of tbe sen level type, it was a notable fact that the
American engineers to a man were In favor of the lock
type, nnd this seems-to have been the controlling con
slderatlon. ,
Tho bouse and senate preferred the opinion of the
American minority to the majority opinion of the entire
board, Including the foreign experts
For a time It seemed doubtful whether the senate
would sustnln the position taken by tho bouse, and In
fact tho senate committee on inter-oceanic canals re
ported In favor of the son lovel type, but the discussion
In the upper house Itself soon revealed tbe fact that
the lock typo was preferred, and on yesterday, when tbe
sea level substitute was offered by Senator Kittredge, the
senate promptly voted It down by n majority of five and
the question was settled.
It la tho president’s purpose to rush tbe work at
rapidly as possible, now that the type of the canal has
been settled. The steamer Panama sails for the Isthmus
on next Thursday. It will have on board Chief Engineer
Stevens, Chairman Shonts and tbe entire commission.
They will proceed at once to determine upon the line*
which the waterway Is to follow and the work of dig
ging dirt will proceed aa rapidly- m men and materials
can bw brought into requisition.
The discussion has naturally been one which could
only be determined by experts. The opinion of the lay
man, in the * ery nature of things, was practically worth
less. and In this view of the case we should be content
to realize that the opinion of a large majority of those
beat qualified to know has been acted upon In adopting
the lock type.
It seems a clear, straight stretch to the completion
of the canal. Nothing but unforeseen difficulties can now
obstruct tbe way, and it la devoutly hoped that these
will not arise.
The Bouth Is especially rejoiced to find that the
work Is making such excellent progress. It hat been
one of the dreams toward the consummation of which we
hare looked forward from the very foundation of the re
public. There la' no section of the country which Will
profit more or perhaps as much aa the South will. The
piercing of the Isthmus will hare aontethlng of the same
effect aa If the 'United States were tipped up and Its
wealth poured toward the southwest section of the coun
try. .1*
This wealth must of necessity pass through our
Southern ports afad Inland cities- Atlanta will feel the
effects among the very first and a few years hence, when
the great work completed, with thla new Impetus
given to our national growth, we will be great 'beyond
the dreams of splendor..
“Too Inquisitive by Half.”
Being of an Inquisitive turn, we would like
to inquire thus early In tbe proceedings where
our esteemed contemporary, The Georgian, wilt
be found In the event that Mr. Bryan and Mr.
Hearat are candidates for tbe Democratic nomi
nation In 19087—Columbia, S. C„ State.
Thla Interesting paragraph Is from The Columbia
State, and tbe sarcasUe caption which heads It I* from
The Macon Telegraph.
We have a brief answer to the legitimate query of
The State, and a brief comment upon tbe esteemed and
picturesque old Republican who loves to cherish the delu
sion that he Is editing a Democratic newspaper at Macon.
To be frank with Tbo Columbia State, wo should
feel personally embarrassed by a conflict of ambitions
between William J. Bryan and William It. Hearat.
They are the two greatest Democrats by far that this
generation of Americana has produced. They are each
worthy of the beat and the most that a definite Democ
racy has to give and ws could be happy and satisfied to
the limit with either In the presidential chair. W* are
personally fond of each of them. We have been conilat-
enUy and devotedly loyal to each of them. At a time
when many of our present fondly protesting contempora
ries were vigorously engaged in criticising and depre
dating Bryan—and for all we know fbe State was
among them—tbe editor of The Georgian was magnifying
and eulogizing the superb and stainless record of the
great Nebraskan, and the editorials from this pen were
gratefully acknowledged by his friends as among the
bright spots In hla days of shadow and eclipse. We
will unquestionably find It difficult to choose between
these men.
One Is the great evangel of a definite Democracy.
Tbe other is the equally great executive of a definite
Democracy. One -la s man who says things superbly.
The other Is a maty who does things magnificently. Bryan
Is the greatest and most eloquent advocate the Democ
racy has known In our day. Hearat Is the greatest
and moat effective agent of reform that the Democracy
has ever known. Betwe^i the great advocate and the
great executive, both loyal and patriotla, It Is difficult
Indeed to'feet or express a preference. It is a bridge
that we are not called upon to cross until wo come to it.
It Is by no means sure that a conflict will arise. When
we reach.the Issue botween Hcnrst and Bryan nnd It be
comes necessary to follow ono or the other banner we
shall tall In behind that man who seema to promise the
best and most effective service to that dcflnlto and clear-
cut Democracy of popular rights and liberties In which
we believe; and we shall be able to do this without abat
ing any part of our cordial regard nnd admiration for
the other man. And whichever of these two la chosen
by tbe majority as th* Democratic lender, wo shall fall
In and follow him with a rejoicing heart to victory.
What wtu Tbe Columbia State do In this contin
gency? '
To The Macon Telegraph a separate word:
If there la any editor or any newipaper In this
republic that will have cause for serious and painful
embarrassment In the event of Bryan's posslblo nomina
tion by the Democratic convention, that editor aqd that
newspaper will be Charles R. Pendleton nnd Tho Maoon
Telegraph.
Along In the bubbling spring of 1904, when certain
wise and infallible statesmen of the Pendleton Ilk were
moving heaven and earth to compos* tbe nomination of
that Incomparable success known as Alton Parker, there
appeared at the very top of the first column of the edi
torial page of The Macon Telegraph (Charles R. Pen
dleton editor and proprietor) the moat Utter, vindictive
and outrageous vilification of William J. Bryan that has
ever come under our eye at any time from any newspaper.
Democratic or Republloan, in these United States. It
created astonishment even among those long time fa
miliar with the raucous prejudices of the editor. It made
Bryan the sum total of political Iniquities and tubbed
him to the vsry vitals of his patriotic Integrity.'
It was such an article ** no man claiming even
to be' a Democrat ought ever to have printed about a
man who had been a leader of hla party, much less one
who had been twice -the candidate of that party for the
presidency.
, The article was unprovoked, wanton, monstrous. The
man who printed that article can never explain It or
defend It The man who pifnted that estimate of Bryan
would stultify hla whole political character and patriot
ism by voting for Bryan for any office, and more especial
ly for the highest office In the republic. If the editor
of The Georgian believed Bryan to be auch a political
villain and traitor as The Telegraph pictured him, there
are not parties enough In the republic to persuade or to
coerce him Into the Infamy of aupportlng him.
We defended Bryan agalnat that attack tn chocked
and Indignant proteat at the time. ‘
And now will the unfailing and not always candid
critic of The Telegraph permit us to indulge a reciprocal
bit of "Inqulaltivenesa” caught from hla own aupply, while
we softly Inquire;
"Where wilt our esthemed contemporary Charles R.
Pendleton be found In the event that William J, Bryan
la nominated by the Democratic national convention tor
president of the United States?"
That la a strong and thoughtful article which hla
honor Judge H. M. Reid contribute# to the dlacnaalon of
parka and breathing spaces for Atlanta- There la some
thing more than sentiment in this proposition, and this
Judge Reid makes dear, and hla potential name and
character added to the discussion will doubtless give
much force and encouragement to the movement already
so happljy started for this desirable end.
Georgia’s Home Coming Week.
The magnificent success, of Kentucky’s great Home
Comers’ Celebration Ja£. Louisville gives the point and
emphasis of radiant; expectation to the Home Coming
Week which Georgia has announced, for the State Fair
to be held In October’ in this capital of the state.
By all the records Georgia’s home coming ought-to
surpass the celebration of Kentucky. We have probably
sent out more men and women from Georgia to people
and prosper other states than any other commonwealth of
the South.
- The editor of The Georgian was told not long ago In
Texas that there were aa many people In Texas born
In Georgia or of Georgia parentage aa there were white
people In the entire state of* Georgia. Thla was perhaps
an overstatement of the fact, but behind it stands the un
questioned truth that Georgia baa contributed several
hundred thousand people to the Imperial state’of ^exaa.
and the personal observation of all those who have ever
come In contact with those colonised Georgians will be
united upon the proposition that they still love and long
for the state of their adoption.
Mississippi Is full of Georgians, the state of Florida
has almost as many Georgians In its population as there
are native Floridans there, and 8outh Carolina, Alabama,
Tennessee and Arkansas ire proud of the sons and
daughters of this Empire State of the South, who will
leap responsive to the official invitation to come home.
It the governor of Georgia would add to the Invitation
of the fair committee hla official proclamation aa Ken-
tucky’a governor did; it the mayor of Atlanta would
Join hla bidding, and the mayors of other cities, we
might have In Georgia such a week of reunion and rejoic-
Ing aa Georgia has never known before. With reduced
rates on the railroads and careful preparation for tbe
swelling crowds of visitors, we would find that neither
Kentucky nor Virginia has a stronger and a dearer hold
upon Its native born citixens than the red old hills of
Georgia.
The time it at band now to send out this Invitation,
personal and official, from the state, from the cities,
from the counties, and from the fair. Kentucky Is thrill
ing yet with the memory of the warmth and tbe fellow
ship of Its returning children, and we are sure that Geor
gians In distant states will be met In this stately capital
by their friends and kinsmen from every section of the
state, and that the occasion will be memorable even in
the history of these eventful times.
The Commercial Travelers Win in Part.
It will be a matter of satisfaction to the Travelers’
Protective. Association of Georgia, aa It will be to The
Georgian, which has faithfully co-operated with it, that
the railroads have granted in part, at leaat, the request
of the commercial traveler* for a mileage arrangement
at 21-2 cents.
It is to be regretted that this concession could not
bsve been made In the form of one hook good on all tbe
roads which tbe traveling men could have used to their
greatest convenience. Instead of the two books which
now seem to be necessary, but this objection Is not total
to tbe Interacts at stake, and will probably be recognised
as a concession on tbe part of tbe transportation lines.
It Is much more to be regretted that tbe roads could
not see their way clear to grant the formal and reason
able request for a 2,000 mileage book at 2 cents a mile.
To thoughtful men everywhere the argument seems con
clusive as to tbe justice of this arrangement. The pur
chase of tbe commodity of transportation In such whole
sale form ongbt certainly to Justify In Georgia, as It does
In tbe less populous lows, and In tbe Sontb, as It does
In tbe lees populous West, this reduction of price for the
wholesale purchase of mileage.
Tbe passenger association received the traveling
men with such signal courtesy that it Is to ba hoped
that this Is ntorely an Initial consideration soon to be
followed by conceding the entire reasonable request
which the commercial travelers have so logically and so
I courteously preferred.
I
King Haakon’s Coronation.
The coronation ceremonies lu Norway are over and '
King Haakon and his wife have formally entered upon
their sovereignty over one of the most democratic coun
tries on the globe.
Tbe severance of Norway from Sweden, brought
about by tho conflict of Interest between tbe commercial
policies of tbe two countries, has long been amicably es
tablished. Sweden was anxious to have tbo matter set
tled, for she feared that unless some one were promptly
seated upon the throne of Norway the republican prin
ciples which are so strong In that country would possibly
assume an absolutely republican form of government
and this contagion of freedom might extend to Sweden
Itself. ,
* ft ft something of an anomaly that tbe man who baa
been chosen as king snould have been elected J>y tbe
free ballots of <.he peqple Just as though bis title were to
bo president Instead of king.
Indeed, tbe Norwegians gave tbe new ruler some bint
of the position he was to occupy by calling him Herr
Konig, or Mr. King, Instead of addressing him ns your
majesty, and it has been commented upon as significant
that In replying to the address of welcome on behalf of
the citizens of tne Norwegian capital he thanked them
In behalf of himself and bis “wife,” not *|tbe queen.”
So be fully realizes bis position and the Indications
are that the Norwegians will enjoy all tbe freedom that
the most liberal constitutional monarchy could afford.
It Is an Interesting ceremony In which thtf Norwe
gians are engaged today. Mr. Bryan la there and when
he comes home he will tell its all about It.
Russia’s Mad Massacre.
Tho civilized world shudders with horror at the de
tails of the outrages which have been perpetrated In
Blalystok, where the Innocent and unoffending Jewish
population has been slaughtered In numbers by the sol
diers and police.
The graphic account of these atrocities as publlihed
in Tbe Georgian yesterday brought out not only the hor
ror of tbe situation, but showed that the outrages were in
fact instigated by the authorities.
It Is evident that the Klshlneff murders pale Into In
significance when compared to these more recent crimes
and tho civilized world Is shocked beyond all expression.
Tbe political significance of the situation Is exceed
ingly grave at a time when the system of autocracy and
bureaucracy la already over a smoldering volcano which
is liable at any time to break Into open eruption. The
douma la evidently In no mood to be trifled with longer
by the ruling powers. It Is standing fast and will resist
any effort on the part of the czar to disperse It arbitra
rily.
It la reported that the ministry la anxious to resign
and when wo reallzo the hopeless task that confronts
them we can well Imagine that this la true.
But the panic stricken czar will not hear pi thla and
Insists that his ministers shall remain In office.
This sort of thing cannot go on Indefinitely. .The
moat portontou* fact Is that the army and navy are be
coming mutinous and are liable to revolt tn a body at any
time. The revolutionists havo for a long time been
carrying on a systematic propaganda among the soldiers
and sailors and thpy are uniting themselves secretly but
none the less firmly with the revolutionary movement.
The most alarming news of all la- that the officers
themselves are at heart la sympathy with the revolu
tionary movement and when the proper time comes
will mako this fact known In no uncertain tones.
Whom the gods would destroy they first mako mad,
and this seems to be the case In this Instance. Surely
nothing short of madness could have Induced the author
ities to Inspire or connive at these recent massacre* at a
time when the existing system of government was on
trial for It* life. V
The news of tne next few months and perhapi of
weeks will be awaited with the greatest Interest and anx
iety. -
DEAN OF TEACHERS’ COLLEGE.
Atlanta, Ga„ Jane 20, 1908.
To tbe Editor of The Georgian:
Dr. Russell, who will address the graduates of Tech,
has been refered to In The Georgian aa the dean of Co-'
lumbla university. Dr. Russel^ Is not the- dean of Co
lumbia university, but of Teachers’ College, which la one
of the schools of Columbia university. Very sincerely,
"A COLUMBIA GRADUATE.”
AN ETERNAL HELL.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
It Is pitiable to find some old-fashioned people still
defending hell. Nowhere that cultivated twentieth cen
tury men and women do congregate to the doctrine of
hell now preached. Hell has been rejected because It to
revolting to the moral lentlment of modern times. Esthetl-
clsm can stand heaven and angels, but It draws the line at
chaln-clanklng and yelling and brlmatone. The parent
who ventured to flog a child every day of Its life for a few
acts of disobedience would soon .find himself In Jail. In
less than a week hla neighbors would interfere and hand
the brute over to the police. Vet the Christian who be
lieves in an eternal hell places hla God on a lowar level
than this human ruffian! Isn’t that blasphemy? Yours
truly, BRUCE MACLEOD.
A FREE HOSPITAL.
To the Editor of The Georgian;
We need In Atlanta a public hospital which shall be
free and exclusively for the needy or Indigent
A mixed charity to no charity. Where tome pay and
some do not. It atanda to reason that those who pay will
demand and get the best treatment.
Thla mixing of tbe well-to-do and tbe poor demoralizes
the help and Impairs the efficiency of tbe management.
The question of the need* of tbe sick should not be
a question of money, but should be a question of need and
humanity.
To be unable, tor want of money, to administer to
the needs of the destitute, to a severe strain on human
sympathy.
With a world full of all that humanity needs and
•hould have, and then to have a single human being de
prived of their full share Imputes a serious Interference
somewhere or In some of our social or governmental ma
chinery.
The question of a public free hospital In Atlanta
should be taken up by some of our papers, and space giv
en tor a dally, symposium on the subject.
Our people are not uncharitable. They are more chan
liable than onr government
This should be made a political question. Only tbe
foea of public questions talk the no politics nonsense.
Until the queetlons of morals and humanity ore made
queatlooa of political Import, those In authority win feel
under no binding obligations to enforce them.
It necessary we should organize a political party
with theie questions aa the burning Issue.
Tbe people themselves should take the matter up and
determine to have a hospital for the needy exclnalvely
In a hospital In which part of Its funds are from tbe
public and part from those able to pay. the tax money
cannot be used Impartially, for the reason that the pay
of the employers and officials to based upon this fund
and this come* exclusively out of the fond which to pre
sumably set apart for charity, thus placing tbe lack of
sufficient attention on the poor.
Open your column* to both sides on this question and
keep it up until something to accomplished.
