THE GEORGIAN COMES TO
GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE
"True love It like ghosts, which everybody talks
about and few have seen.” —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
front Grant park In which aereral Indies were allowed to
stand during the entire Journey, while eeveral sound and
healthy gentlemen remorselesaly retained their Mata.- •
One case mentioned by our correspondent was fla
grant In the extreme. In which a lady standing and hold
ing to the end of the seat on which sat two hearty, well
dressed men, was continually tossed by tbe lurches of the
car against the end of tbe neat and against the shoulder
of one of the young men, who retained his tranquillity—
and his scat—unmoved.
Our correspondent feels greatly aggrieved at this
a* . i>c, and desires that we punch the offending gentlemen
with our pen.
Wo have long Intended to say something along this
line, and this perhaps is aa good a time as any other to
do ao. Conditions have changed very giuch 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 fine edge of courtesy
that was the glory of the old South.
To say that we lament thla doea 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
noble thnt it baa done much to add to the repute and to
the prestige of this section among all the civilized centers
of the republic.
A lady of Georgia, recently returning from a visit
to tbe East, remarked that what moat Impressed her
while away waa the brutality of the men to the women
an noted on the street cars and In the public places. "I
have never before," said ahe, “been ao much In love with
the South and Ita gentlemen aa I am today, and I *am
/hind to be once more whore ladles receive consideration
'' from the knlghGy men of our Southern land.”
There are, of course, two sides to this question of
street car courtfsy. We plant ourselves In the beginning
upon tbe proposition that no gentleman who Is able to
Mund ought ever to be seated In the South when a wo-
man it standing near. To do this la an Insult to the tra
ditions of our fathers and to the repute of the South'
Women are too fine to bp selfish, and the street ears
always a ptacw for a considerate sharing of one’s
vantages with other people.
On the other hand, let Jt be understood by the men ;
that all tho women, young and old, who go on the cars at
this later hour (if the evening, aro not Idlers and simply
shoppers In the city stores. A very large number of
them are made up of young women fully as tired as tb
men. Mnny of them are shop girls, many of them are
clerks Who have been standing upon tbelr feet all day
or digging over the typewriter, or selling tape behind tbe
counters, or fitting dresses to Irritable and tired society
women who arj as trying upon tbelr nerves as an all-day
stand would be. These women have tbe 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-alsles, and they ought by every
law of manly courtesy to have tbe seats In tho cars.
And ao, aa the matter must be In doubt. It can only
be solved by that primal law of courtesy which stamps
the Southerner as the most gallant and moat courteous
and most considerate man toward his woman In all the
world. When the matter Is In doubt always solve It In
favor of tbe ladles, and as tho matter Is nearly always
In doubt, there can be no other* rule in the street cara
than that every gentleman who Is strong enough or
young enough to stand should give bis seat to the lady
who Is without one.
“Too Inquisitive by Hall-”
Being of an inquisitive turn, we would like
to Inqulro thus early In tho proceedings where
our esteemed contemporary, Tho Oeorglan, will
ho found In the event that Mr. Bryan and Mr.
Henrst are candidates for tho Democratic nomi
nation In 19067—Columbia, S. C„ State.
This Interesting paragraph Is from The Columbia
Stato, and tbe sarcnstlc caption which heads It Ib from
The Macon Telegraph.
We have a brief answer to tho legitimate query of
The State, and a brief comment upon the estoomed and
plctureeque old Republican who lores to cherish the delu
sion that ho la editing a Democratic newspaper at Macon.
To be frank with The Columbia State, wo should
feel personally embarrassed by a conflict of ambitions
between William J.’ Bryan and William R. Hearat.
They are the two greatest Democrats by tar that this
generation.of Americans has produced. . They are each
worthy of tbe best and the most that a definlto Democ
racy has to give and we could be happy and satisfied to
the limit with either la 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 pretexting contempora
ries wore vigorously engaged in criticising and depre
ciating Bryan—and for all we know Tho State waa
among, them—the editor of Tbe Georgian wns inagnlfylng
and eulogizing the superb and atnlnless record of the
great Nebraskan, And tho editorials from this pen were
gratefully acknowledged by Ills friends as among tba
bright spots In his days of ahadow and eclipse. We
will unquestionably find It difficult to choose between
these men.
One Is the great evangel of a definite Democracy.
The other la the equally great executive of a definite
Democracy. One Is a man who says things superbly.
The other.is a man who does things magnificently. Bryan
la the greatest and most eloquent (advocate the Democ
racy hoe known in our day. Hearst ls the greatest
and most effective agent of reform that tho Democracy
has ever known. Botweon tho great advocate and tho
great exequtive, both loyal nnd patriotic, It Is difficult
The Lock Canal Adopted.
The senate on yesterday placed itself definitely on
| record as favoring the lock typo of ranal and the much
mooted question has been finally Bottled. The president,
I Chairman Shonts, Chief Engineer Stevens and a majority
1 of the commission, as well as a majority of the house,
[ thus finds vindication and confirmation of the position
they have taken in the matter and nothing now remains
but to begin work- with nil the haste and earnestness
possible.
It has been a long and Interesting discussion, and
public opinion has been very much divided on tbe sub
ject. While It Is true that a majority of tbe board of
experts seat to Investigate the matter reported In favor
of the sea level type. It was a notable fact that the
American engineers to a man were In favor of the lock
type, and this seems to have been the controlling con
sideration.
The house and senate preferred the opinion of tbe
American minority to tbe majority opinion of tbe entire
board. Including the foreign experts.
For a time It seemed doubtful whether tbe senate
would sustain the position taken by the house, and In
fact the senate committee on Inter-oceanic canals re
ported In favor of the sea level type, but the discussion
In the upper house Itself soon revealed the fact that
the lock type was preferred, and on yesterday, when the
level substitute was offered by Senator Klttredge, the
senate promptly voted It down by a majority of five and
tbe question was settled.
It Is the president’s purpose to rush tho work as
rapidly as possible, now, that tbe type of tho canal has
been settled. The steamer Panama soils for the Isthmus
on next Thursday. It will have on board Chief Engineer
Stevens, Chairman Shonts and the entire commission.
They will proceed at once to determine upon the lines
which the waterway la to follow and tho work of dig
ging dirt will proceed aa rapidly aa men and materialB
can be brought Into requisition.
The discussion has naturally been one which could
only be determined by experta. The opinion of the lay
man, In the very nature of things, was practically worth
less, and in this view of the case we should bo content
to realise 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 tho completion
of the canal. Nothing but unforeseen difficulties can now
obstruct the way, and It Is devouGy hoped that these
will not arise.
The South Is especially rejoiced to find that the
work la making auch excellent progress. It has been
one of the dreama toward tbe consummation of which we
Have looked’forward from the very foundation of the re
public. There Is no section of tbe country which will
profit more or perhaps as much aa the South will. The
piercing of the isthmus will have something of the same
effect as If tbe 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 portM and Inland cities. Atlanta will feel the
effects among tho very first and a few years hence, when
the great work completed, with thti new Impetus
given to our national-growth, we will be great beyond
the dreama of splendor. ,
(hat 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.

hfindrea .n.r. i. Indeed to fiBel or express a preference. It Is n bridgo
for a hundred years. There is nothing short of old age , w , M nnt Mlurf 11Mn J „ rn „
or decrepit health which can Justify auch an essential
broach of courte.-y aa thla. Men who are able to stand
at all stand In auch 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 awkwardness or to em
barrassment, and are not themselves affected by the rude
Jostle against other men. It Is not ao with women. Their
nature, their modesty, the clothes that they wear, all
make It Impossible for them to endure auch discomforts
with the same composure as men, and no gentleman who
respects hit mother, hit wife, his slater or his daughter
would be willing to see a woman subjected to auch dis
comfort or to such embarrassment aa* these conditions
may afford. This much It fundamental and can never be
rnnngcd until tbe spirit and the temper of the race of
gentlemen who make up the South la entirely changed.
But, with tble much snld, there are other things
which should also be understood.
One reason why men sometimes forget to extend
those 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 man to
rlM from a seat into which be haa Just gratefully dropped
and to stand throiph a rushing trip of five or setrei
miles, while some young, strong and healthy woman drops
tranquilly Into it without ever stopping for a moment
to make an acknowledgment of the .unusual courtesy
• ho has received. It will hurt no woman, however refined
and delicate she msy be, to ssy and to look "I thank you"
at any man, whatever hla station, who haa been at least a
gentleman to the extent of making thla sacrifice In cour
tesy to her sex and to himself. The women who do not
say "I thank you” are the women who are destroying
among the men this pleasant and courteous cuatom of
reverence, and as they are responsible for any lapse In 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 *thls
generation some consideration In their hours of travel
tur 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'* work, are Jnet
going home to their families at • o'clock In the eve
ning. This la too frequently the case and too many wo
men, young and old, who might conclude tbelr shopping
s half hour or an hour earlier, are too often Incon
siderate In sailing Indifferently Into the crowded car at
6 p. m„ complacently accepting the sacrificial courtesy
of some tired clerk, who after having been on bla feet all
d.<y. has Just breathed an ejaculation of thanktulneaa for
the opportunity of sitting down during the halt hour or
the hour's Journey to his 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 la always the
period of the home going of business and working men,
and It would be a aweet and thoughtful kindness If ladles,
young and old. would atnrt their outing Into the suburbs
f ir air and recreation at least ns early as halt past 5, so
that they might not crowd the* 3 weary workers out ot
their seats, and upon (he return trip they would, ot
coarse, have the greater part of tbe car to themselves.
This much In behalf of the men.’ Women should be sa
nstderate and appreciative toward men as men are
art sous and sacrificing to tbe ladles. Consideration in
ansa and recognition makes courtesy easy In man.
that we are not called upon to cross until we" como in It.
It Is by no means sure that a conflict will arise. .When
we reach the Issue between Ilearst and Bryan and It be
comes necessary to follow one or tho other -banner wo
ahall fall In behind that man who seems to promise tho
beet and most effectlvo service to that definite and clear-
cut Democracy ot 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 and admiration for
the other man. And whichever of theso two Js chosen
by the majority as the Democratic leader, wo shall fall
In and follow him with a rejoicing heart to victory.
What will The Columbia State do In this contin
gency 7
To The Macon Telegraph n separate word:
If there la any editor or any newspaper In thla
republic that will have causo for serious and painful
embarrassment In the event of Bryan’s possible nomina
tion by the Democratic convention, thnt editor and that
newspaper will be Charles R. Pendleton and The Macon
Telegraph. '
Along In the bubbling spring ot 1904, when certain
wise and Infallible atateemen of the Pendleton Ilk were
moving heaven and earth to. compass tho nomination-of
that Incomparable succeee 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 most bitter, vindictive
and outrageous vilification of William J. Bryan that haa
ever come under our eye at any time from any newspaper,
Democratic or Republican, In these United 8tates. It
created astonishment even among thofo long time fa
miliar with the raucous prejudices or tbe editor. It made
Bryan the sum total of political Iniquities and stabbed
him to the very vitals of his'patriotic Integrity.
it was such an article ae 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 been twice tbe candidate ot that party for the
presidency. •
The article was unprovoked, 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 whols political character and patriot
ism by voting for Bryan for any office, and more especial
ly for the highest office la the republic. If the editor
of The Georgian believed Bryan to be such 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 ot supporting him.
We defended Bryan against that attack In shocked
and Indignant protest st 'the time.
And now will the unfailing and not always candid
critic of The Telegraph permit ua to Indulge a reciprocal
bit of "Inquisitiveness" caught from his own supply, while
we softly Inquire;
"Where wilt our esteemed contemporary Chariea R.
Pendleton be found In the event that William J. Bryan
Is nominated by the Democratic national convention for
president of the United States?"
That Is a strong and thoughtful article which hla
honor Judge H. M. Raid contributes to the discussion ot
parks and brsathlng spaces for Atlanta. There Is some
thing more than sentiment In thle proposition, and this
Judge Reid makes clear, and hla potential name and
character added to the discussion will doubtless give
much force and encouragement to the movement already
so happily started tor this desirable end.
Georgia’s Home Coming Week.
The magnificent success of Kentucky’s great Homo
Comers' Celebration at Louisville gives tho point and
emphasis of radiant expectation to tbe Home Comlhg
Week which Georgia has .announced for tho State Fair
to bo held In Octobef Hn this capital of the state.
By all the records Georgia’s home coming ought to
surpass tho celebration of Kentucky. We have probably
sont. 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 waa told not long ago In
Texas that there werei' 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 parbapa
an overstatement ot the fact, but behind It stands tho un
questioned truth that Georgia haa contributed several
hundred thousand people to'the Imperial state of Texas,
and the personal observation ot all those who have ever
come In contact with those colonised Georgians will be
united upon the proposition that they (tilt love and long
tor the state of their adoption.
Mississippi Is full ot Georgians, the state ot Florida
has almost as many Georgians In Ita population as there
aro native Floridans there, and South Carolina, Alabama,
Tenneaaee and Arkansas are proud of the sons add
daughters ot this Empire State of the South, who will
leap responsive to the official invitation to come homo.
It the governor of Georgia would add to the Invitation
of the fair committee hla official proclamation as Ken
tucky’s governor did; It the mayor of Atlanta Would
Join hla bidding, and the mayors ot other, cities, we
might have In Georgia auch a week of reunion and rejoic
ing as Georgia haa never known before. With reduced
rates on the railroads and careful preparation for the
■welling crowds of visitors, we would fin'd that neither
Kentucky nor Virginia haa a stronger and a dearer hold
upon’Its native born- oltlxens than the red old,hills of
Georgia.
The time Is at ha'nT now to send out this Invitation,
personal and official, from the state, from the cities,
from tile countlee, and from the fair. Kentucky la thrill
ing yet with the memory ot the warmth and the fellow
ship of Its returning children, and we are sure that Geor
gians In distant atatei will be met In this stately capital
by their friends and kinsmen from every sectftm ot the
state, and that tbe occasion will be memorable even In
Ibe 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, as It will be to The
Georgian, which haa -faithfully cooperated with It, that
the railroads hare granted In part, at least, the request
ot the commercial travelers for a mileage arrangement
at 21-2 cents
It Is to be regretted- that thla concession could not
have been made tn the form of one book good on all the
roada which the traveling men could have used to thetr
greatest ‘convenience, Instead of the two books which
now seem-to be necessary, but this objection Is not fatal
to the Interests at stake, and will probably be recognised
as a concession on the part of the transportation lines
It la much more to be regretted that the roads could
not see their way clear to grant the formal and reason
able request for a 2,000 mileage book at 2 cents a mile.
To thoughtful men everywhere the argument seems con
clusive aa to tbe justice of thla arrangement The pur
chase or tbe commodity ot transportation In such whole
sale form ought certainly to justify In Georgia, as It doea
in the lees populous Iowa, and In the South, aa It doea
tn the leas populous West this reduction of price tor the
wholesale purchase of mileage.
The passenger association received tbe traveling
men with auch signal courtesy that It la to be hoped
King- Haakon’s Coronation.
The coronation ceremonies In Norway are over and
King Haakon and bis wife have formally entered upon
their sovereignty over one of the most democratic coun
tries on the globe. *
The severance of Norway from Sweden, brought
about by the conflict of Interest between the commercial
policies of tbe two countries, has long been amicably es
tablished. Sweden was anxious to have the matter set
tled, for she feared that unless some one were promptly
seated upon the throne of Norway the republican prin
ciples wblcb are so strong Jn that country would possibly
assume an absolutely republican form of government
and this contagion of freedom might extend to Sweden
Itself.
It Is something of an anomaly that the man who has
been chosen as king snould have been elected by the
free ballots of tbe 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 he was to occupy by calling him Herr
Konlg, or Mr. King, Instead ot addressing him as your
majesty, and It baa been cuaunc-nted upon as significant
that In replying to tbe address of welcome on behalf of
the citizens of tne Norwegian capital be thanked them
In behalf of himself and his "wife,” not "the queen."
So he fully realizes his position and the Indications
are that the Norwegians will enjoy nil the freedom that
tbe most liberal constitutional monarchy could afford.
It la an Interesting ceremony in which the Norwe
gians are engaged today. Mr. Bryan is there and when
he comes home he will tell us all about it.
Russia’s Mad Massacre.
Tho civilized world Bhudders 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.
Tbe graphic account of these atrocities as published
In The Georgian yesterday brought out not only the hor
ror of tbe situation, but showed that the outrages were In
fact Instigated by tho authorities.
it Is evident that the Klshlneff murders pale into In
significance when compared to these pore recent crimes
and tho civilized world Is shocked beyond all expression.
The political significance ot the situation Is exceed
ingly grave at a Gme when tho system of autocracy and
bureaucracy Is already over a smoldering volcano which
Is liable at any time to break Into open eruption. The
douma 1b 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 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 cot hear of this and
insists thnt his ministers shall remain In office.
This sort ot thing cannot go on indefinitely. Tho
most portentous fact Is that the army and navy aro be
coming mutinous and are liable to revolt In a body at any
time. Tho revolutionists havo for a long time been
carrying on a systematic propaganda among the soldiers
and sailors and they are uniting themselveB secretly bnt
none the lesB firmly with tbe revolutionary movement.
' The most alarming news of all Is that the officers
themselves are at heart In sympathy with the revolu
tionary movement and when the proper time comes
will make this fact known In no uncertain tones.
Whom the gods would destroy they first 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 massacres at a
time when the existing system of government was on
trial for Its life.
The news of tne next few months and perhaps of
weeks will be awaited with the greatest Interest and anx
iety.
DEAN OF TEACHERS’ COLLEGE.
Atlanta, Ga., June 20, 1900.
To the Editor of Tho Georgian:
Dr. Russell, who will address the graduates of Tech,
has been refored to In The Georgian as the dean of Co
lumbia university. Dr. Russell Is not tho dean of Co
lumbia university, but of Teachers' College, which Is ono
of the schools of Columbia university. Very sincerely,
"A COLUMBIA GRADUATE."
AN ETERNAL HELL.
To the Editor of Tbe Georgian;
It Is pitiable to find some old-fashioned people still
defending bell. Nowhere that cultivated twentieth cen
tury men and women do congregate Is the doctrine of
hell now preached. Hell has been rejected because It Is
revolting to the moral aentlment ot modern times. Esthetl-
clsm can stand heaven and angels, but It draws the line at
chain-clanking and yelling and brlmBtone. The parent
who ventured to flog a child every day of Its llfo for a few
acta 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. Yet the ChrlBtlan who be
lieves In an eternal hell places bis God on a lower level
than thla human ruffian! Isn't that blasphemy? Yours
truly, BRUCE MACLEOD.
A FREE H08PITAL.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
We need In Atlanta a public hospital which ahall be
free and exclusively for the need}- or Indigent
A mixed charity Is no charity. Where some pay and
some do not. It stands to reason that those who pay will
demand and get the best treatment.
Thla mixing ot the well-to-do and the poor demoralizes
the help and Impairs the efficiency of the management.
The question of the neede 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, la a severe strain on human
sympathy.
With a world full of all that humanity needs and
should have, and then to have a single human being de
prived of thetr full share Imputes a serious Interference
somewhere or In some of our social or governmental ma
chinery.
The question ot a public free hospital In Atlanta
should be taken up by some of our papers, and apace giv
en for a dally symposium on the subject.
Our people are not uncharitable. They are more char
(table than our government
This should be made a political question. Only the
foes of public, questions talk the no politics nonsense.
Until the questions of morals and humanity are made
questions of political Import, those In authority will feel
under no binding obligations to enforce them.
If necessary we should organize * political nartr
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 Ita funds are from the
public and part from those able to pay, the tax money
cannot be need Impartially, for the reason that the nay
of the employers and officials Is based upon this fund,
and this cornea exclusively out of the fund which Is ore-
aumably set apart- for charity, thns placing the lack of
sufficient attention on the poor.
Open your columns to both sides on thla question and
keep It up until something Is accomplished.
