TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 AUSTRIANS MUCH DEPRESSED B! '■ MG RUSSIAN VICTORIES Long Conferences Between Emperor Franz Josef and His Minister. Extraordinary Reserve of the Newspapers. Optimistic Utterances Cease. Vienna, (10 p. m., via Paris, 11 a. m.) —The news of Russia’s increas ingly victorious occupation of eastern Galicia is exercising a depressing in fluence in Austro-Hungarian official circles and among the more intelli gent classes of the monarchy but up to the present time the mass of the people seem credulously willing to ac cept as satisfactory the meagre bul letins given out by the authorities. They welcome eagerly any report which seems half way encouraging. Much Anxiety. That anxiety is felt in higher cir cles, however, is manifested by the long audiences the ministers of the dual monarchy are holding constantly at Schoenbrunn with Emperor Francis Joseph. There have been a number of conferences since Friday with the minister of war and the Austrian and Hungarktn premiers. The newspapers maintain an extra Speaking ... THE ... Public Mind America’s Distinction. To The Herald: One conspicuous lasting lesson of the present European conflict is that great honors and great wealth readily change masters and eventually abide where virtue, where industry and where patience flourish most. Our country is today a brilliant example to the entire world of the wisdom of exercising these Inestimable qualities, so beautifully expemplified by our honorable, admirable Chief Executive, who is the embodiment of virtue, in dustry and Under his guid ance America is at the present mo ment more truly than ever the per sonification of liberty enlightening the world —and this without arrogating to ourselves any exclusive partnership with the Great Ruler of the Universe. What greater honors can accrue to any government than to be universally considered the most competent to con duct diplomatic negotiations for the embroiled nations and to be urged from all quarters of the globe so to do? What greater true wealth and prosperity ran accrue than the re wards of virtue, industry and patience which are now offered to us from all parts of both hemispheres? E. S. Ijy Killng Off th* Raoe. To The Herald: From the Christian era till the pres ent time, as statists and historians tell us, there have been less than 240 warless years. Up to the middle of the nineteenth century it was rough ly computed that nearly 7,000,000,000 men had died in battle since the be ginning of recorded history, a num ber equal to almost fife times the present estimated population of the globe. A - A Lesson in Eoonomics. To The Herald: I made an unsuccessful attempt, a f days ago, in a mixed companj, to elicit some obection to a part of my philosophy, by remarking that “the earth belongs to those who got here first.” No one dissented; no one seemed to care a rap whether the statement was true or false. I shift ed my ground, mildly saying that “we are all equally entitled to the use of the earth.” Again there was no dis sent. Aparently neither statement, though one is the direct antithesis of the other, would be challenged. You can't have a gabfest without a discus-' sion, so I made another attempt to provoke it by saying: "Private prop erty in land is absolutely indefensi ble/’ And then we had it hot and heavy. Your columns are not spacious enough to contain all the alleged rea sons and puerile arguments that were thrust upon me; but the substance of them all was this, that whatever existed for centuries must be right. Maybe you would not grudge a few lines to put the logic of my claim squarely and bluntly. It is this: We are all equally entitled to life. The use of the earth is essential to life. V>nd, therefore, we are equally entitled To the use of the earth. The appro priation of any part of it to individual use without compensation to those who are excluded (private property) is a diminution and denial of the right to life. Have your correspondents grapple with this proposition. P. O. L. Woman Suffrage In Georgia. To The Herald: I am glad to see that the women of .Augusta are going to work actively lor equal suffrage. The writer Is an enthusiastic believer in woman's suf frage. Before many years we shall see it in effect in practically every State In the Union. The entrance of woman Into the political arena will mean much for the purity of the bal lot We shall see better office holders elected than we see now, there will he less vote buying than ever before and this country will b* a better place to live In. The man who attempts to argue. Mr. Kdltor, that women have no right to vote should be ashamed of himself. As for mv own individual self. I would much rather trust my wife's Judgment In many cases than my own. I say shame should cover the man who con tends that the woman who brought him Into this world, who caressed his Imby cheeks with the kisses of moth er love, who taught his "Now I lay me down to sleep," who watched over Him with a tenderness and care that I arrled with It absolute self negation, i should not be allowed to express her ! choice in the selection of the office holders of this city, state and coun ry Yes, Mother Is good enough to ,ew and darn, to cook and scrub, to seny herself the luxuries In or 3er that her boy tray have 'hr»ti, and yet she Is not good •nou«h to vote! She ir- good enough a leacj you you? lessons—ye#, many ordinary reserve. Papers of Sunday, September 13th, barely mentioned the battle that is reported to have been raging around Lemberg for the past six days. The only Journal offering any comment on the Lemberg situa tion was the Neue Freie Presse, which said: “We can say nothing more than that the high moral quality of the Austrian and Hungarian troops must eventually prove victorious.” A telegram received in Vienna from Budapest quotes the Hungarian min ister of national defense as saying: “We stand well. Our position everywhere is good; more than this I cannot say.” The frequent optimistic utterances of Count Stephan Tisza, the Hunga rian premier, latterly have ceased, and the official bulletins given out in Budapest are silent regarding the campaign against Servia. times mother was an excellent school teacher before she was married, a lit erary woman, which is more than can be said for you as a man, and yet she is not good enough to vote. The most ignorant and depraved species of man in Augusta can go to the polls and have his vote counted. Just the same as the best citizen who inhabits our community. The man w r ho opposes woman’s suffrage is suffering from an aggravated case of conceit. Ho says, in effect, "I am entitled to vote, but no woman is.” The fellow should be pitied. I am tired of hearing woman spoken of as the weaker sex. She is not weaker intellectually and she is cer tainly far stronger than man morally. It is no£ original with me but lets say of her that she is of the more "delicate persuasion” and lets help her get the ballot in Georgia. H. Wants Better Mail Service on Monte Sano. To The Herald: Can something be done about the poor mail service on Monte Sano? I live on Central avenue and we get our morning (?) mail any where be tween 1 and 1:30 p. m. and after noon delivery is made after 6 p. m. We haven’t a single mail box on the street, on Monte Sano, so if we hap pen not to see the postman as he passes, we have either to take our mail to the Partridge Inn post office or down town. After writing a let ter I always place it outside the let ter-box on the front porch in full view of the street, where at a glance the postman could see it, (as people do the country over,) but unless aforesaid postman happens to have mail for me, he never collects out-go ing matter. Then too, no matter how small packages are, he absolutely re fuses to take them, saying they are not allowed to do it. In other cities for instance, Atlanta, there are mail boxes on almost every corner even in suburbs, and somewhere in every WHO'LL WIN THE 01,000? Boys Home ? Y. W. C. A.? Daughters of IsabeUa ?
