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. wmiuijs ui u«r miuem nuu iu mu rwpuiv ui uio 13011111 , . . . . . . ,, ■ . 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. W. A. JOHNSON, 32* Whitehall SL Cholly Knickerbocker Gossips About People. By Prlrnt4» Leased Wire.
