THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA.
Speaking
... THE ...
Public Mind
To The Herald:
A few days ago you were publishing a
sort of controversy apparently between
a pedestrian and an automoblliet; each
gentleman somewhat intolerant of the
other’s attitude and unable to see the
other's point of view.
As a confirmed pedestrian, and having
recently become an automobile owner, 1
feel that 1 am in a manner capable of
seeing the matter from both sides.
The animosity which unfortunately but
undoubtedly exists between drivers and
foot-passengers is a matter of common
knowledge. The man ori foot, accustom
ed to being tooted at and spattered with
mud. naturally resents the apparent
good-fortune of the man driving the big
car tie feels that he is being made to
get out of the way. and altogether im
posed on, and his natural instinct is to
retaliate. lie has discovered through
experience that the driver is not going
to run over him. and consequently he
saunters deliberately across the street,
never stopping or changing his pace,
half the time looking over his shoulder
at the car. which has had to slow up
and perhaps halt in «. V«er to let him get
across without dinturl ing himself. He
thereby causes htmself much inward sat
isfaction. and also create* the impression
that lie is a city-bred man who knows
rtll about automobile* and their ways and
has a supreme contempt for them. Let
them run ovev him and pay the dam
ages. says he. He is ho Country crack
er to break his neck getting out of the
way.
Had to relate, there are ladies in this
class in fact more ladles than men.
There is n distinct type of woman who
will be hanged if she will so much as
look around when a motor horn blows.
They just better not run over her, that’s
ah. And of course they don’t. There
by she becomes manifest «s a city lady,
and a person of some consequence.
If she only know! She merely gives
herself away as a woman who has al
ways bad to walk. If she wants to pose
as a grand lady she ought to pick up
her skirts and run timidly as fast as
she can from an automobile a hundred
yard* iwa> The woman who has al
w-avs beqri accustomed to riding is an
awful coward about ‘Tossing a street on
foot The woman who rides occasional
ly and knows something about the in
convenience to the motor, is very con
siderate about waiting, or hurrying not
to Interfere It I* omv the woman who
has had to fight her way to the street
.mvs all her life who "show* off on
Broad street by impenng the traffic.
I have often heard motorists say that
thev sincere v wish they might one day
run over one of these people by accident.
What we need Is s little co-operation
between those who walk and those who
roll on rubber tires. If ft pedestrian
nhuwa (he sltgheat willingnee* to get ««'t
of 1 lie w*v, unv motorlit Instinctively
turn* aoide to let ‘hem h*” PoUtenea*
breeds politeness . _ . .
If the population <>f Augusta, however
! . nuld l>e transported bodily to New 1 ork
In the state of mind In which It now. Is.
It would not last two (Ins New 1 ork

A Mild Critieiam.
To The Herald:
for the past two tears I have beep
a resident and tax-payer of the city
of Anc'tata to I feel that l hate the
nttht to offer a suggestion of public
interest through this splendid col
umn of The Augusta Herald. What
I am about to outline occurs hourly
on the principal streets of the city,
and can so easily be suppressed If
evervone does hi* or In thl* Instance
especially, bar part Up until three
tears ago 1 lived In a larger city and
when I first took up residence here
1 was literally dumbfoubnded at the
way in tvh , h the good people of Au
uusta. (All of whom T am sure know

panion on the street about a passer-

p altlon In life or anything elee that
I onies to their mind: all the while
j rudely staring at said “victim." They
especially crltlvlre one's wearing ap-
I parel. when often the person look*

I Inveterate fault-finder For example,
jthts summer I was very proud of a
very chic Imported chappeau which
had just been sent me from a smart
sth avenue shop. One afternoon t wore
i this hat down tow n On entering one
of the Broad street store* a clerk
(who *h ould think of the customer'*
comfort. Instead of making her un-
comfortable said to another custom
er: "Some Tld.’ T wonder if she think*
that thing is pretty?" The remark
was made in an audible voice, so*
everyone in the front of the store
turned and stared. T could probably
have made the young lady even more
uncomfortable than she had me by re
porting her to the manager, hut I had
a heart.
Every visitor from away I have
ever had complained of this ill
trantlered habit, and personally it is ;
a relief to go to mv home city (or al
most any other larger place), where
the pode-strians are too engrossed in
their own conversations and affairs to i
criticize every shopper. Let's don't
allow our Augusta women to get the
repiiiation for being ill-mannered, but
let's cut this scandal mongering and
criticising out.
“ONE WHO IS INTERESTED."
AS TO JAPAN AIDING ENGLAND.!
To the Herald.
I have read with interest the ex-|
tracts from the New York Wtaat*'
Zeltutig, edited by Herman Ridder,
published in the Augusta Chronicle,
and the comments of The Chronicle
with regard to the entry of the "yel
low ally" of Great Britain against the
"white man" of Germany. Of course
no reasonable white man likes to see
conflicts In which the dark races are
pitted against the white, but it is
well known that Germany, in her colo
nial difficulties, has not regarded race
in the acquirement of territory and
has guarded her colonial frontiers with
black men to keep off all intruders of
whatever ra-c And we do not forget
that thousands of Germans, won over
with the promise of bounty and the
hope of plunder, came three thous
-1 and miles to fight side hy side with
, the blacks to aid the federal forces
In their Invasion of our dear South- '
land in the go's and aided in the rob- I
bine of the people and the burning
of the houses of the white people cf i
the South.
And then we have not forgotten how
the white people of the North. In order
to conquer the South in the civil war.
forgetful of the ties of blood and of
race, did not hesitate to make allies
of the negroes.
For they turned the slave upon u*.
And with more than a fiend's worst
art. •
I'neovered the fires of the savage
That slept in hia untaught heart.
The ties tr our hearts which bound
him.
They rent with curses away.
And maddened him with their mad-'
ness
To be almost a* brutal as they.
And now. with upraised hands and :
holy horror, this <*nme section de- ]
p’oros the entrance of England's “vel

whole world Is interested and must be
affected. In which the whole world is
engaged to strike off th/ 'act shackles
of feudalism.
