FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27.
Speaking
... THE...
Public Mind
To The Herald:
Perhaps the attention of the reader
may have been attracted by the As
sociated Press report of the murder
of Mr. A. A. Boggs and his 18-year
old daughter In their country place in
Miami, Fla., and the subsequent burn
ing down of the big house on the night
of November 24th. It is presumed
that the deed was done by burglars
and that they burned down the house
to hide the crime. The report says
Bimply: “Mrs. Boggs is visiting at
Lake Placid, N. Y,”
It is about this poor lady that I
write. How must a woman feel -who
loses all of a sudden her husband, her
only (laughter, whom she had nursed
and cherished and guarded as her life,
and at the same stroke her home,
with all of the associations 6f her past?
How must she feel to think that these
were taken from her needlessly, ruth
lessly, brutally, by violence? This
thing happened day before yesterday.
If your mind can attempt to grasp
the tragedy of that woman's situa
tion. it can follow me into the story
which I have to tell. There is one
lady in London who has taken into her
house twenty-six Belgian ladies, refu
gees from the war. Not one of these
ladies has a male relative whom she
knows to be alive. Many of them
are separated from young children
whom they are unable to trace in the
unspeakable chaos of the times. Not
one of them has a home. They are
denied even a place to go and mourn
if they break under the frantic rest
lessness that is worse than despafr.
They have nothing.
And these are not common women,
who might be stunned and stupified.
.They are women of highly strung
l nerves and frail constitutions. They
’ are the old princesses of the ruined pal
aces of Liege, Namur and Louvaine;
the lovely matrons of Brussels who
used to flirt with the young oficers
at the Court Ball. They will never
even find a grave to plant a flower on.
The women who remember the Civil
War will understand.
England has taken these people in.
English homes are full of those tragio
women, dressed In borrowed black,
who sit in the silent rooms with their
hands folded in their laps, waiting—
for what? Some of them are able to
help with the wounded in the hospi
tals, others as Interpreters for the
hundreds of Belgian peasants who
sleep on the floors of the public build
ings.
When you sit at your bountiful table
today, and give thanks, let your mind
dwell for a moment on those women.
You can do nothing for them. But
you can help the English feed and
clothe the poor wretches who used to
be their tenants, the Belgian peasants
who sleep on the floors of the public
buildings. The English have got
enough on their hands.
Ireland and the War.
To The Herald-
Being Interested in the reply of Mr.
P. J. Callahan to “B. L.” regarding the
status of Ireland in the present war
in Europe and the sympathy express
ed by a discontented few for the suc
cess of German arms in conquering
the Allies and invading England which
would include Ireland too I am think
ing with her countless hordes of won
derfully trained soldiers and admir
able organizations of artillery arma
ment, the yoke would be more galling
under the military autocracy of Ger
man rule than the English yoke and
“Home Rule’’ would then be a dream
of the past, and as for ignoring the
Germans after once in possession of

the British Isles why I am thinking
every gossoon in the “Ould Dart"
would be shouldering a rifle in the
awkward squad under the compulsory
service rule of the Fatherland and it
would be “Waeht ’em Rhein’’ instead
of “God Save Ireland’’ and as for a
choice of rulers give me the other Ger
man Kaiser, George Guelph of “Han
over and England" which would cer
tainly insure every Britisher individual
freedom of speech and liberty under
the “Union Jack” of ’’Old England.”
Now, of course, Its unthinkable and
unbelievable that Great Britain can be
invaded and conquered by a foreign
foe ( or even obtain a footing on the
tight little Isle) wljgji she has her
magnificent navy to protect her from
invasion and despite the reverses slio
lias already suffered in naval disas
ters of the present war I feel assured
her navy will yet give a good account
of themselves and uphold the tradi
tions of the British service of past his
torq.
Mr. Callan speaks of resisting the
German foe though the universal race
of Irishmen scattered over the v. orld —
and at home—without organization,
finances or a navy! What a beautiful
illusion! to imagine you can drive the
enemy out of Ireland after once In con
trol and why has not this been done
before as to regards of English domi
nation?
No, sir! history tells us the “Sons
of Ireland’’ have always been loyal and
true to England and have always been
found in tlie Van when any fighting
has to be done and have proved them
selves on manya battlefield to be Eng
land’s forlorn hope—not forgetting the
brave Scots —and will always con
tinue so despite what agitators may
say to the contrary, and as for in
flicting religion into the controversy, I
will say that “Catholic Ireland” is as
loyal as the “Orange Protestants,” and
In the lißt of distinguished Protestant
patriots of Ireland who have fought
for “Irish freedom and Home Rule,"
you should have included Parnell uni
Redmond. Truly yours,

THE A. A. RATE CASE.
To The Herald.
We are reading much about the
doubling of the fare to Aiken by the
trolley company, and the protests from
here and intermediate stations, also of
the appeal to the railroad commission.
If this road is not owned by the South-
ern railway, as the parallel lines are
owned by the New- Yofk and New
Haven railway, wouldn't it be a good
thing for Augusta merchants to give
free transportation to their customers
over the Southern to Aiken and inter
mediate stations? This will bring the
trolley managers to their senses when
they realize the falling off of their
traffic.
The Southern, if not a party to this
raise in trolley rates, might be in
duced to lower its return rates and
probably run an extra by virtue of the
increased traffic.

FROM THE KIDS’ POINT OF VIEW.
To The Herald.
What Is the matter with the men on
the board of education? Why hava
they become such hard taskmasters
that they want to make little children
go to school and study when their
Christmas toys are still new and un
broken? They know nothing of child
nature if they think a little child can
put his mind on lessons three days
after Christmas. Are these men jo
hardened that (he spirit of Christmas
cannot enter into them and make them
want to give the children pleasure at
this time, which is so especially a
children’s festival?
The work the children do this week
will not amount to much attend
ance will be poor and the children who
attend will not be in the right frame
of mind for work. And even if all
the children were forced to come,
would the little reading, writing and
’rithmetic they learn be worth the dis
appointment and unhappiness caused
by the loss of holidays? Why can't
the hoard look at things from the
child's point of view?

A newspaper man was trying to sell 4
merchant some advertising.
“If the boss wanted to advertise he
would do so,” said his assistant.
“But he may not know the advantage
it will be to him NOW,” persisted the solic
itor.
“Oh, the boss always knows,” said his
assistant.
Six months later the newspaper man
passed that way. The sheriffs sign was
on the merchant's door*
“Yes,” murmured the newspaper
man to himself—“ The boss always knows.”
