THE GEORGIAN COMES TO II
GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE || Affl
“True love It Ilka ghosts, which everybody talks
about and few have teen.” —La Rochefoucauld.
’ Reciprocal Courtesy on the Street Cars.
A correspondent, who requests that his name be not
mentioned, tells The Georgian the story of a recent trip
from Grant park In which sereral ladles were allowed to
K .stand during the entire Journey, while several sound and
healthy gentlemen remorselessly retained their seats.
One case mentioned by our correspondent wae (In-
grant In the extreme. In which a lady standing and hold-
iin; to the end of the seat on which sat two hearty, well
dressed men, was continually tossed by the lurches of the
car against the end of the seat and against the shoulder
nf one of the young men, who retained his tranquillity—
and his seat—unmoved.
Our correspondent feels greatly aggrieved at this
t scene, and desires that wo punch the ofToudlng gentlemen
with our pen.
We have iong intended to say something along this
lino, and this perhaps Is as good a time as any other to
do so. Conditions have cba'nged 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
moil In clerical and subordinate stations of work has
done much, we fear, to wear nil the One edge of courtesy
thnt was the glory of the old South.
To say that wo lament this does not express the
scope of the regret which we feel at the lapse of a cus
tom which was so distinctly Southern and so distinctly
nobio that It has done much to add to the repute and to
the prestige of this section among all the civilised centers
of tho republic.
A lady of Georgia, recently returning from a visit
to tho East, remarked that what most Impressed her
while sway was the brutality of the men to tho women
»k noted'on the street Cars and In the public places. "1
have never before,” said she, "been so much In love with
the Sooth and Its gentlemen as I am today, and I am
glad to be once more where ladles receive consideration
from the knightly men of our Southern land.”
There are, of course, two sides to this question of
street car courtesy. We plant ourselves In the beginning
upon t)ie proposition that no gentleman who Is able to
stand ought ever to be seated In the South when a wo
man Is standing near. To do this Is an Insult to the tra
ditions of our 1 fathers ptnd to the repute of the South
for a hundred years. There Is nothing short of old age
or decrepit health. which can Justify such an essential
breach of courtesy as this. Men who sre 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 ears
or not. they are not exposed to awkwardness 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, the clothes that they wear, all
make It Impossible for them to endure such discomforts
with the same composure as men, and no gentleman who
respects his mother, his wife, his sister or his daughter
would be willing to see a woman subjected to such dis
comfort or to such embarrassment as these conditions
may afford. This mucb Is fundamental and can never be
cnanged until the spirit’ and tbe temper of the race of
gentlemen who make up the South Is entirely chanfed.
But, with this much said, there are other ththgs
which should also be understood. ,
One reason why men sometimes forget to extend
these courtesies Is that women are frequently forgetful
to make proper recognition of the sacrifice which Is thus
entailed. It Is no ordinary discomfort to a tired mad to
rise from a seat Into which he has Just gratefully dropped
end to stand through a rushing trip of five or sevei
miles, while some young, strong and hoalthy woman drops
tranquilly Into It without ever stopping for s moment
to mske an acknowledgment of the unusual courtesy
she has received. It will hurt no woman, however refined
a pd delicate she may be, to say and to look "I thank you”
at any man, whatever hla station, who has been at least a
gentleman to the extent of making this sacrifice In cour
tesy to her sex and to hlmseir. The women who do not
ray "I thank you” are the women who are destroying
among the men this pleasant and courteous custom of
reverence, and as they sre responsible for any lapse Id It,
they should make haste to correct Id the beginning their
owa deficiencies for the sake of the future comfort of
themselves and of other women.
Moreover, there ought to be among women of thla
generation some consideration In their hours of travel
for the working hours of (Ired men. It would be a .piece
of appreciated consideration If women would not time
ibelr hours of going home from the shopping trip which
might be made at any hour of tho day, to that particular
hour, when men, weary with the day’s work, are just
going home to their families at < o'clock In the eve
ning. This Is too frequently the case and too many wo
men, young and old, who might conclude their shopping
h half hour or an hour earlier, are too often Inoon-
slderate la sailing Indifferently Into the crowded car at
tl p. m., complacently accepting the sacrificial courtesy
of some tired clerk, who after having been on his feet ell
day, has just breathed an ejaculation of thankfulness for
the opportunity of sitting down during the hair hour or
the hour’s Journey to his suburban home.
It would also bf an appreciated act nf consideration
if these good women would not time their hours for an
airing or an outing to this particular time on a summer
j; day. The period just about 6 o’clock la always the
period of the home going of business and working men,
and It would be a sweet and thoughtful kindness If ladles,
yoiing and old, would start their outing Into the suburbs
for air and recreation at least as early aa half past 5, so
that they might not crowd theej weary workers out of
£ their seats, and upon the return trip thej would, ot
I course, have the greater part ot the car to themselves.
I This much !n behalf of the men. Women ehould be as
K considerate and appreciative toward men as men are
I courteous and sacrificing to the ladles. Consideration In
I women and recognition makes courtesy easy In man.
►
Women are too fine to he selfish, and the street cars are
nlwnys a place for a considerate sharing nf one's ad-
vantages with other people.
On the other hand, let It be understood by the men
that all the womeo, young and old. who go da tho cars at
thiB later hour of the evening, aro not Idlers and simply
shoppers In the city stores. A very largo number of
them are made up of young women fully as tired as the
men. -Many of them are chop girls, many of them are
clerks who have been standing upon their feet all day
or dlgxlng over the typewriter, or selllng*tape behind the
counters, or fitting dresses to Irritable and tired society
women who are as trying upon their nerves as an all-day
stand would be. These women hsve 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 the aisles, and they ought by every
law of manly courtesy to have the seats In the cars.
And so, ss the mstter must be In doubt. It can only
be solved by that primal law of courtesy which stamps
the Southerner as the most gallant and most courteous
and most considerate man toward bis women In all the
world. When the matter Is In doubt always solvo It in
favor of tbe ladles, and as 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 ttand should give bis seit to the lady
who Is without one.
‘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, will
be found In the event that Mr. Bryan and Mr.
Hesrat are candidates for the Democratic nomi
nation In 1906?—Columbia, S, C„ State.
This InteresUng paragraph Is from The Columbia
State, and the sarcastic caption which hsads It Is from
The Macon Telegraph.
We have a brief answer to the legitimate query of
The.State, and a brief comment upon the esteemed and
picturesque old Republican who loves to cherish the delu
sion that he Is editing a Democratic newspaper at Macon.
'To ho frank with The Columbia State, we should
feel personally embarraased by a conflict of ambitions
between William J. Bryan and William R. Hearst.
They are the two greatest Democrats by far that this
generation of Americans has produced. They are each
worthy of the best and the most that a definite Democ
racy has to give and we could be happy and satisfied to
the limit with either In the presidential chair. We are
personally fond of each of them. We have been consist
ently 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
ciating Bryan—and for all we know The State waa
among them—the 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 his days of shadow and eclipse. We
trtll unquestionably find It difficult to choose between
these men. * ’ 4
One Is the great evangel ot a definite Democracy.
The other Is the equally great executive ot a definite
Democracy. One la a man who says things superbly.
The other Is a man who does things magnificently. Bryan
is the greatest and most eloquont advocate the Democ
racy has known in onr day. Hearst la the greatest
and most effective agent of reform that the Democracy
has over known. Betwoen the great advocate and the
great, executive, both loyal and patriotic, It Is dljficult
Indeed to feel or express a_ preference. It, Is a bridge
that we are not called upon to cross until we come to it
It Is by no means sure that a conflict will arise. When
wo resch the Issue between Hearst and Bryan and It be
comes necessary to follow one or tho other banner wo
shall fall In behind that man who seems to promise the
best add most effective service to that definite and clear-
cut Democracy of popular rights and llbertlos In which
wo believe; and we shall be ahlo to do this without abat
ing any part of our cordial regard and admiration for
the other man. And whichever of theso two Is chosen
by tho majority as the Democratic leader, wo shall fall
In and follow him with it rejoicing heart to victory.
What will The Columbia State do In this contin
gency?
To The Macdn Telegraph a separate word;
If there la any editor or any newspaper In thla
republic that will have cause for serious and painful
embarrassment In the event of Bryan’s possible nomina
tion by the Democratic convention, that editor and that
newspaper will be Charles R. Pendleton and The Macon
Telegraph.
Along In the bubbling spring of 1604, when certain
wise and Infallible atateemen of the Pendleton Ilk were
moving heaven and earth to compasa tbe nomination of
that Incomparable eucqeee known ae 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 most bitter, vindictive
and outrageous vilification of William J. Bryan that has
ever come under our eye at any time from any newspaper.
Democratic or Republican, In these United States. It
created astonishment even among those long time fa
miliar with the raucous prejudices of tbe editor. It mads
llryan the sum tots) of politics! Iniquities and stabbed
him to the very vitals of his patriotic Integrity.
It was such an article as no man,claiming even
to be a Democrat ought, ever to have printed about a
man who had been a leader ot his party, much less one
who had be«n twice the candidate of that party for the
presidency.
The arilele was uuprovoked. wanton, monstrous. Tbe
man who printed that article can never explain It or
defend It The man who printed that estimate of Bryan
would stultify his whole political character and patriot
ism by voting for Bryan for any office, and more especial
ly for the highest office In the republic. It the editor
ot The Georgian believed Bryan to be auch a political
villain and traitor as The Telegraph pictured him, there
sre not parties enough In tbe republic to persuade or to
coerce him into the Infamy of supporting him.
We defended Bryan against that attack In shocked
and Indignant protest at the lime.
And now will the unfailing and not always candid
critic of The Telegraph permit us to Indulge a reciprocal
bit ot “Inquisitiveness" caught from his own supply, while
we soRly Inquire:
"Where will our esteemed contemporary Charles R.
Pendleton be found In the pvent that William J. Bryan
la nominated by the Democratic national convention for
president of the United State*?”
That Is a strong and thoughtful article which hi*
honor Judge H. M. Reid contribute* to tbe discussion ot
parks and breathing spaces for Atlanta. There It some
thing more than sentiment in thle proposition, and this
Judge Reid makes clear, and his potential name and
character added to the discussion will doubtless give
much force and encouragement to the movement already
so happily started for this desirable end.
The Lock Canal Adopted.
The senate on yesterday placed Itself definitely on
record as favoring the lock type of canal and the much
mooted question has been finally settled. The president.
Chairman fihonts, Chief Engineer Stevens and a majority
of the commission, ns well as a majority of the house,
thus finds vindication and confirmation of the position
they havo taken In the matter and nothing now remains
but to b6gln work with all the haste and earnestness
possible.
It has been a long and Interesting discussion, and
public opinion has been very mucb divided on tbe sub
ject. Wbllo It Is true that a majority of tbe board of
experts seat to Investigate tbe matter reported In favor
of tbe sea level type, It was a notable fact that tbe
American engineers to a manjyere In favor of tho lock
type, and this seems to have been the controlling con
sideration. »•
The house end senate preferred the opinion of the
American minority to the majority opinion ot the entire
board, Including the foreign experts.
For a time It seemed doubtful whether the senate
would sustain tbe position taken by the house, and la
fact the senate committee on Inter-oceanic canals re
ported In favor of tbe sea level type, but the discussion
In the upper house Itself soon revealed the tact that
the lock type was preferred, and on yesterday, when the
sea level substitute was offered by Senator Kittredge, tbe
senate promptly voted It down by a majority of five and
the question was settled.
. It Is tbe president’s purpose to rush the work as
rapidly as possible, now that the type of the canal haa
been settled. Tbe steamer Panama sails for the Isthmus
on next Thursday. It will have on board Chief Engineer
Stevens, Chairman Sbonts pn& the entire commission.
They will proceed .at once to determine upon the lines
which the waterway Is to follow and tbe work of dig
ging dirt will proceed as rapidly as men end materials
can be 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 ot the case we should be content
to realize that the opinion of a large majority of those
best 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 the way, and It Is devoutly hoped that these
will not arise. ' ,
The South Is especially rejoiced to find that the
work Is making such excellent progress. It has been
one of the dreams toward the consummation of which we
have looked forward from the very foundation of the re
public. There Is no section of the country which will
profit more or perhaps at much as,tbe South will. The
piercing of the Isthmus will have something of the same
effect as If the United States were tipped up and Its
wealth poured toward the southwest section of the coun
try.
This wealth must of necessity pass through our
Southern porta and Inland cities. Atlanta will feel the
effects among the very first and a few years hence, when
the great work completed, with this new Impetus
given to onr national growth, we will be great beyond
the dreams ot splendor.
Georgia’s Home Coming Week.
The magnificent success of Kentucky’s great Home
Comers' Celebration at Louisville gives the point and
emphasis of radiant expectation to the Home Coming
Week which Georgia baa announced-for the State Fair
to be held in October,'ftitblf 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 loug ago In
Texas that there were as many people In Texas born
la Georgia or of Georgia parentage as there wero white
people In the entire stato of Georgia. This was perhaps
an overstatement of the fact, but behind It stands the un
questioned truth that Georgia has contributed several
hundred thousand people to tho Imperial state of Texas,
and the personal observation of all those who have eve$
come In contact with those colonized Georgians will he
united upon the proposition that they still love and long
for the state of their adoption.
Mississippi la full of Georgians, the state of Florida
has almost as many Georgians In Its population as there
are native Floridans there, and South Carolina, Alabama,
Tennessee and Arkansas are proud of the sons and
daughters of this Empire State of the 8outh, who will
leap responsive to tbe official Invitation to como home.
If the governor of Georgia would add to the Invitation
of the fair committee his official proclamation as Ken
tncky’s governor did; It the mayor of Atlanta would
loin his bidding, -and the mayors of other cities, wt
might have In Georgia such a week ot reunion and rejoic
ing ns Georgia haa nover known before. With reduced
rates on the railroads and careful preparation for the
swelling crowds of visitors, we would find that neither
Kentucky nor Virginia has a stronger and a dearer hold
upon Its native born citizen* than the red old hills of
Georgia.
The time Is at hand now to send ont thla Invitation,
personal and olficlal, from the itate, from the cities,
from the counties, and from the fair- Kentucky Is thrill
ing yet with the memory of the warmth and the fellow
ship of Its returning children, and we are sure that Geor
gian! In dlztant atates 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 la
the history of these eventful times.
that this Is merely an Initial consideration soon to be
followed by conceding the entire reasonable request
which the commercial travelers have so logically and so
courteously preferred.
King Haakon’s Coronation.
The coronation ceremonies In Norway are over and
King Haakon and his wife have formally entered upon
their sovereignty over one of the most democratic coun
tries on tbe globe.
The severance of Norway from Sweden, brought
about by the conflict of Interest between the commercial
policies cf the two countries, has long been amicably es
tablished. Sweden was anxious to have tbe matter set
tled, for sho feared thaf unless some one were promptly
seated upon the throne of Norway the republican prin
ciples which are so strong In, that country would possibly
assumo an absolutely republican form of government
and thla contagion of freedom might extend to Sweden
Itself. ’
It Is something ot an anomaly that tbe man who haB
been chosen as king suould have been elected by the
free ballots of .he people just as though his title were to
be president Instead of king.
Indeed, the Norwegians gave the new ruler some hint
of the position ho was to occupy by calling him Herr
Konlg, or Mr. King. Instead of addressing him as your
majesty, and It has been commented upon as significant
that In replying to tho address of welcome on behalf of
the cltjlena of tne Norwegian capital he thanked them
In behalf of himself and his "wife," not “the queen.”
So he fully realizes his position and tbe Indications
are that the Norwegians will qnjoy all the freedom that
the most liberal constitutional monarchy could afford.
It Is an Interesting ceremony In which the Norwe
gians are engaged today. Mr. Bryan Is there and when
he comes home ho will tell ub all about it
The Commercial Travelers Win in Part.
It will be a matter of satisfaction to the Travelers'
Protective Association of Georgia, as It will be to Tbe
Oeorglan, which has faithfully cooperated with It, that
the railroads have granted In part, at least, the request
ot the commercial travelers for a mileage arrangement
at 21-2 cents.
It la to be regretted that this concession could not
have been made In the form of one book good on all the
roads which the traveling men could have used to their
greatest convenience. Instead of the two booke which
now seeln to be necessary, bat this objection Is not fatal
to the Interests at stake, and will probably be recognized
aa a concession on the part of the transportation lines.
It Is much more to be regretted that the roads could
not see their way clear to grant the formal and reason
able request for a 2,040 mileage book at 2 cents a mile.
To thoughtful men everywhere tbe argument seems con
clusive as to tbe justice of this arrangement The pur
chase ot the commodity of transportation In such whole
sale form ought certainly to Justify to Georgia, aa It does
In the lees populous Iowa, and la tbe South, as It doe*
In the less populous West this reduction of price for the
wholesale purchase of mileage.
The passenger association received the traveling
men with such signal courtesy that tt Is to be hoped
Russia’s Mad Massacre.
The 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 polloe.
The graphic account of these atrodUes as published
In The Georgian yesterday brought out not only the hor
ror of the situation, but showed that the outrages were In
fact Instigated by the authorities.
It Is evident that the Klshlneft murders pale Into In
significance when compared to these more recent crimes
and the civilized world Is shocked beyond all expression.
The political significance of tbe situation Is exceed
ingly grave at, a time when the system of autocracy apd
bureaucracy Is already over (i smoldering volcano which
is liable at any time to break Into open eruption. Tho
douma Is evidently In no mood to be trifled with longer
by the ruling powers. It Is standing Iasi and will resist
any effort on the part of the czar to disperse It arbitra
rily.
It Is reported that the ministry Is anxious to resign
and when we realize the hopeless task that confronts
them we can well Imagine that this Is true.
But the panic stricken czar will not hear of 'this and
Insists that his ministers shall remain In office.
This sort of thing cannot go on Indefinitely. Tho
most portentous fact Is that the army and navy are be
coming mutinous and are liable to revolt in a body at any
time. The revolutionists have for a long time been
carrying on a systematic propaganda among the soldiers
and sailors and they arc uniting themselves secretly but
nono the less firmly with the revolutionary movement
The most alarming news of all Is that the officers
themselves aro. at heart In sympathy with the revolu
tionary movement and when the proper time comes
will make this fa'ct known In no uncertain tones.
Whom the gods would destroy they ftrzt make 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 matzaeres at a
time when the existing system of goveriiment was on
trial for Ita life.
The news of tne next few months and perhaps of
weeks will be awaited with tbe greatest Interest and anx
iety. >
fiEANOF TEACHERS’ COLLEGE.
Atlanta, Ga„ June 20, 1906.
To the Editor ot The Georgian:
Dr. Russell, who will address the graduates of Tech,
has been refered to In The Georgian as the dean of Co
lumbia university. Dr. Russell Is not tbe dean of Co
lombia university, but of Teachers' College, which Is one
of the schools of Columbia university. Very sincerely,
"A COLUMBIA GRADUATE."
AN ETERNAL HELL.
To tbe Editor of The Georgian: '
It Is pitiable to find some old-fashioned people (till
defending hell. Nowhere that cultivated twentieth cen
tury men and women do congregate Is the doctrine of
hell now preached. Hell hat been rejected because It Is
revolting to the moral sentiment of modern times. Esthetl-
clsm can stand heaven and angels, but It draws the line at
chaln-clanklng and yelling and brimstone. Tbe parent
who ventured to flog a child every day of Ita lire for a few
acta of disobedience would soon find himself In jail, fa
less than a week his neighbors would Interfere and hand
the brute over to the police. Yet the Christian who be
lieves In an eternal hell places bis God on a lower 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 is no chirity. Where some pay and
some do not. It stand* to reason that those who pay will
demand and get the best treatment.
This mixing of the well-to-do and the poor demorallxes
the help and Impairs the efficiency of the management.
Tbe question of the needs of the sick should not be
a question of money, but should be a question of need and
humanity.
To be unable, for want of money, to administer to
the needs of the destitute, 1* a severe strain on human
arm pa thy.
With a world full of all that humanity needs and
should 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
ahould be taken up by some of onr papers, and space giv
en for a dally symposium on tbe subject
Our people ere not uncharitable. They are more char
itable than our government.
This should be made a political queetlon. Only the
foes of public questions talk the no politics nonsense.
Until the questions ot morals and humanity are made
questions ot political Import those In authority will feel
under no binding obligations to enforce them.
If necessary we should organize a political party
with these questions as the burning Issue.
The people themselves should take the matter up and
determine to have a hospital for the needy exclusively.
In a hospital In which part of Its funds are from the
public and part from those able to pay. the tax money
cannot be used Impartially, for the reason that the pay
ot the employers and officials Is based upon this fond,
and this comes exclusively ont of tbe fund which Is pre
sumably. set apart tor charity, thus placing the lack of
aufflclent attention on the poor.
Open your columns to both sides on this question and
keep It np until something Is accomplished.
