: CONVICTED E1TRS INHIBITION

CoUETEsIEs AMONG ORGANIZATIONS.
Rudeness always discounts itself. When people
convention halls invited guests it behoOves
those who accept the invitation to behave themselves
while the occupying the seats allotted to them
for their comfort. I am saying his because was
the invited guests hear ex-President Roose
velt's address the voters of his Progressive party
last Saturday night, and I saw more rudeness and
indecent behaviour than ever expected to see in
Georgia audience. I was afterwards told that just
such behaviour occurred in the auditorium last
year when Hon. Thomas Watson hired the hail. padi
his money for it, and was effectually hoWied down by
Atlanta toughs sent there to deprive him of his op-
portunity
on Saturday night a person who went there to
Mr.. Roosevets address effectually depriedv
of the hearing by gang of Atlanta young men
whose names known and will be given upon prop
who took seats this quiet listener and
the icinvity perhaps half hundred or more
creatures who yelling for Wilson. Whenever
distinguished speaker uttered sentence that was
pleasing to these sap-headed young politicians
these creatures called to yell for Wilson
They heard to "Giev it to him boys! Yell
for wilson, The fathers of of these young
men made all they had in fortune by follow
ing dirty Republican politics in Georgia soon after
the and if it had for their gains under
Bullock their would be filling a brakeman's
place pulling at rope over the back of a festive
mule. Whether their creatures were hired for the
eenving otherwise by these "saps or discourteous
people breeches, 1t is fact that they effectusy
drowned out the speakers oicve to those in the vi
cinity 1t was a shame, and when ] was given the
names of the instigators said; How low has Geor-
ga politics fallen when police officers were seen
to quell these conspiratorsl
1t was particularly shameful in Atlanta, where
Roosevelt last year paid his own expenses to set
TO Atlanta raise fund to commemorate Uncle
Remus" and honor the city in the purchase of snap
Bean Farm" for purpose. 1t is miserable politics
when men forget what due to the people who PAID
their money give intellectual treat to the in
vited guests and their invitation to insult he
owners of the for that night and to fling
upon speaker the rabid froh of their dirty souls
and dirty politics such conduct deseres VITO oe

teir caliber should be effectually rebuked
Courtesy women's organizations should be es-
pecialy conseredv The presiding officer should soc
to it that dscourtesy should be shown TO lnVlten
guests in their conventions sap heads and inter
ested people. A few days ago in convention OF
women of the delegates ives grossly tnsulted by
a man who appeared a speaker for his party before
the assemblage of ladies' Pointing his finger at one
of the delegates he made gross attack and was not
called down by the presiding officer The presiding
officer either ignorant of her duty or consprAg
with the man speaker humiliae the delegate, and
no public explanation ever given by the presid
ing officer transpires that this dscourteous man

NOUS Australian boomerang which. when flung IN
front curves itself filings itself back upon the
unsuspectnig victim, and rudeness in assemblies VIII
fling back odium upon the doors thereof
Courtesy is the standard coin of cultivated social
life Rudeness to invited guests is sure token of
low breeding, matter If the person wears sim
dresses silk pajamas.
Those Atlanta toughs and the rude Atlanta politi-
clans who backed them up should have been led out
of the auditorium with polceman's authority, ana
the discourtesy to the delegate of the womans son
vention should have been handled by the presiding
officer as if the had been sprading ADDER or
convicted blind tiger.
II speaks poorly for the intelligence of the COM
munity when such efficient handling is omitted by
ignorant rabd politics.
