Public Mind MOVING PICTURES ON SUNDAY. To The Herald: f notice that the question, "Shall Augusta Have Moving Pictures in !!»15?" is causing a great deal of In terest. That considerable opposition is put forth by the religious element, |ls quite natural. I claim that opposi | tion to Sunday amusements is the | result of heredity. It Is something new. If Sunday amusements had ! been the custom for a long time and someone should try to abolish them now, he would meet with much oppo sition. It is the opinion of many people that things that have never been, should not be. Can there be a sacred time? What Is time? Nothing! There can no more be a sacred "time” than there ran he a sacred nothing. 1 imagine j that before the universe was created, jif there were ever such an eternity, that this same "nothing” existed, al | though r. an was not alive to record sit as "time.’’ What is good to be done Saturday there can be no harm in do ing Sunday. After all, let It be up to the people; if they prefe • motion pictures to the church and home, let them have mo tion pictures. LIBERAL. FIGHTING FIRES IN NORTH AUGUSTA. To The Herald: Please allow me space In your "Speaking the Public Mind” column to j speak a little piece of public mind about the KICKER who objects to the j Augusta Firemen going to North Au- I gust a. He says that he is a taxpayer, | meaning that the firemen are his hired men. I figure that if he is a LARGE TAXPAYER, possibly it cost him about three-eights of a cent for the time his hired men were gone to put out Ihe fire on his neighbor's house. I think Augusta can lay undisputed elaim to the meanest men in the world. If his body was as small as his soul, he could farm on a fly speck J and have plenty of room left to run | around and kick. Just to save breathing expenses he ;Is liable to quit, and go where he is going, and I hate to think of him as j he reposes on a beautiful heap of red hot coals or wafts about from billow to billow on white hot flames, worry ing about that three-eighths of a rent his hired men beat him out of to do an act of charity while they were not busy, hut it can't he helped now. NORTH AUGUSTAN. CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME. To The Herald. Please allow me space to ask a few questions and answer a few as I ask them. Why are women and children suf fering? Why are honest men dot al lowed to earn an honest living? Why do our ministers and others solicit funds to send away from our starving ones at home? Charity should begin at home. There is enough food and clothing to fur nish the people of the United States for twelve months if there was not any crops raised or clothing manufac tured in one year. There is more mon ey In this country now than ever be fore and more clothing stored in shops, warehouses and factories than ever before and more food of all descrip tions than ever before. Just look in some of our wholesale houses: flour, meat and grain piled to the roof; cars standing unloaded filled with good things to eat; and just walk two blocks and you will see men, women and children hungry, l.ook at the work to he done on our streets, houses and roads. L>ook at the bad railroad tracks, bad box and flat cars, worn out en gines, dangerous boilers, rotten cross ties and bridges. Work! Work! Plenty for all to earn an honest living; but no, we are not wanted. We have worked and made all this food and clothing, mode so much till we must starve and go naked. The American people as a whole are too proud to beg for food or clothing but are forced to beg for a chanca to earn bread. I saw today a big, fine automobile on Walton Way with only an old Indy and a great, big, hairy dog sitting beside her. The lady’s arm was around the dog as if to pro tect hint from harm; and just at the same moment I saw two little girls and a little boy walking In the mud which is about six inches deep. One little girl remarked, "Look at the dog." I wonder if she wondered, why should I walk in mud while a dog rides in an automobile. 1 also wondered if the lady had any grandchildren made of the same flesh and blood as these three little ones. When God mado man and beast, did He intend that the beast should ride and the human walk* Why are we taxed with a war tax? We are not at war with anyone—ex cept labor and capital. But we are called upon to furnish more of our hard-earned cash for the government. Called on for a war tax when there is not war that should trouble us at all. Why should our factories shut down or go on short time when peo pie are In rags? Why should rail roads stop running trains to bring us food and clothing and we hungt.v and naked? Why should the price of food go up when the capitalists claim there is no demand for it in the for eign market? Why can we buy Am erican-made goods cheaper in Europe than we can in America? Why can we buy oranges as cheap in New York as in Florida, or California? Why can we buy clothing cheaper in Chi cago and New York than we can in Augusta, when the cotton nnd most all wool Is raised in the South? Some thing is wrong with our system. Why has the price of cotton gone down and cotton good* gone up" Will this answer suffice for all— Our country Is run by nnd for the idle few ns against the industrious many. C. A W. C. RY.
