I% 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. W. A. JOHNSON, 026 Whitehall SL Cholly Knickerbocker Gossips About People. By private Leased Wire.
