MB. HEARAT'* LATEST SERVICE TO'JOUBKALUM AND DE
CENCY.
Not the least among the mighty services which William Randolph
Haarst haa rendered to Wa tlma. Is the destruction of the Infamous col
umn of “Personals'' In which The New York l{erald for thirty years has
debauched the morals of the metropolis and the country.
In the memory of this generation there has not ( beeu a time when
thla ''Personal" column of The Herald was hot the assignation directory
of the three and one-half million people who live In Manhattan Isjand.
And yet In 'that graat city the power and prestige of The Herald was
so great that no one dared assail the Iniquity or proteat the debauchery.
The Herald In all lu other columns was aa decent and rcputablo a news
paper as the republic bad ever known, and cleanliness and fearless Inde
pendence bad given It a clientele unsurpaaaed In quality and Influence
among American public Journals. The only explanation of fta persistence
In thle moral crime was In the fact that tJkS personal eolumn netted the
advertising ledger some f2SO.fiOO every year. *
Perhaps to this day and beyond It the Iniquitous advertisements would
have blaxoned themselves defiantly In The Herald if William R. Hearat
had not entered the arena.
He dared to challenge the Iniquity before which other and older forces
had trembled and kept still. The Hearat papers fearlessly exposed the
monstrous charactar of thla "Personal" column and demanded Ita sup
pression. The Herald raged slid was defiant. Ita proprietor threatened
an eternal and Implacable hoafJIRyto Hearat, but the latter, unterrifled
by the tbreata of the “greatest of American newspapers." kept steadily on
until last week, after alx months of bitter warfare, and an avoidance of
America by the proprietor of the erring paper. The Herald comes up
meekly and pleads guilty to eight charges of tending obscene matter
through the mails, and places Itaelf at the mercy of a law which haa the
power to impose a maximum penalty of 140,000 In fines or <0 years* Im
prisonment In (he penitentiary.
Wbat will be done with Mr. Beunstt and hla adverUalng manager can
not lie forecasted. Several years ago for a similar offenxe James R. Dun
lap. of The Chicago Dispatch, waa sent to tho penitentiary for two
yeari. u.
Hut Tho Herald la a great paper and Mr. Bennett la still a mighty
Influence. Perhaps the plea of gnjlty will modify the penalty, and per
haps the editor will go free upon the payment of a heavy fine.
Rut whatever the outcome It cannot be denied that the Incident haa
cleared the moral atmosphere of tho Fourth Estate. The standards of
Journal lam have been reset by the law. The business of carrying Immor
ality. and Indecency Into American homes la not one In which newspa
pers can engage and maintain a respectable etanding la the future.
And for this wboleaome and much needed reform, the reading public
la Indebted once more to the fearlessness and tha force of. the really graat
and genuine man who has established and maintains the Hearat system of
newspapers as the friend* and champion of the honest people of America.
MB. HABBIMAM'8 ANNOUNCEMENT EPOCHAL.
Nothing quilt so significant has appeared In the railroad situation of
today aa the recent Interview of President E. H. Harrlman of the Union
Pacific Railway.
Viewed from the standpoint of the narrow and partisan observer
the words of this railway magnate simply aerve to point the opportuni
ty for a new howl of demagogy and a new eipresslon of almost vindic
tive denunciation of the railroads.
Rut viewed flint the standpoint of common sense and that broad
and unielfish statesmanship which looks to the true rather than to a
temporary or personal advantage, these words are significant In the htgh-
eet degree of an. awpkoqlng among the great railway magnates of the
country which la tho solid promise and forecast of better methods for
the future. 1
President Harrlman. with the exception of Jamci J. Hill, of the North
ern Pacific, la beyond question the greatest corporation brain of America,
and hla position and Influence are aecond to that of no man who la man
aging vast properties In the republic today.
When a man Ilka Mr. Harrlman breaks tho long silence anil the al
most criminal reticence of railway magnates, and conferee* that the rail
roads have been radically wrong—In their failure to personally cultivate
better relations with the government and the people; In their failure to
catabllah a better understanding with the shippers of the country, and In
their failure to keep the faith or their own tarit agreements—and when he
proposes for tho future to lend his vast and predominant Influence to the
cultivation of better relations with government, shippers and the people,
the thoughtful and Interested public can draw otlly two or three logical
and legitimate conclusions.
First, the railway corporations, of which Mr. E. H. Harrlman la the
recognised representative and the tallest exponent, have come to (eel the
power of an awakenod public opinion and to respect It. They have come
to know that there la a force In the republic greater than the lobby or
the money of the corporations. They have come to realise that public
opinion backed by tho tiallot la at last omnipotent In a free republic, and
that when this public opinion backed by the ballot ta led by a brave and
strenuous man of a republic of 80,000,000 of people, these great corpora
tions have opened their eyes wide and clear to the comprehension of the
fact that they are at last up against a power which they cannot defy and
which they can no longer delude.
8uch • conclusion at this Is logical, definite and clear, because It
Is justified by the facta In the case and by the developments of the last
fifteen months In the several states and In the government at Washing
ton.
Another conclusion equally clear la that these great railway mag
nates. In the full realisation of their arraignment before the bar of public
opinion with the ballot behind It, have reached the conclusion that It fa
better to compromise and to surrender than It I* to tight. No man who
knows the great railway and corporation magnates of thla country will
credit them with Stupidity or with an overplus of sentiment. They are
atrong men. they are wise men and they are not of the mould and eallbre
that will allow pesslnn and resentment to cloud their reason or to crip
ple the vast properties under thslr control. And no. with a common
sense whlrh rises superior to temper anil revenge, they are clear enough
to ate that the one thing to do with an aroused and superior power la to
compromise with It or to surrender to Us dsmsnds.
• And this Is exactly what Harriman's statement means. Ho and hla
friends caonot fight the government. With the pretldent. with congress
and the legislatures of the several atatea making a common cauaa against
railway deficiencies and railway assertion* of aelflahness. there Is noth
ing to do but to surrender upon the best terms that can bn made with
the superior power. And this policy the words of E H. Harrlman Inaugu
rate.
Now aa U> the way In which thla proposition should be received.
We Inslit upon It that nothing la more unworthy of a great and en
lightened age than passion and revenge. The people seem to be once
more In power. They are In the taddle and are riding triumphantly over
this Held of long dispute. With these great Interests and these vast
properties practically In confession of their defeat and aurrender. the
leaders of the people will never hold a larger responsibility than fronts
them In thla opportunity to be aa wlso aa they arc atrong. aa fair aa
they are powerful, aa Just ax they are triumphant and ax discreet as
they are now responsible for the future. Any spirit of. reprisal or re
venge that Is expressed In word or act by the leaden of the peoplti la
thla emergency, will stamp them aa unjust and unworthy of the position
which a popular ballot haa given them.
The leader* of the people In otfidal and tinnffifltl state require.a. firm
hand, a clear and definite Intelligence In making such arrangement* and
■ach treaties .with the railroad* as the Interest* of the people may de
mand. It would he weakness to surrender any Juet claims which the peo
ple have made. It would he Imbecile to allow them to be chiseled out of
the advantage* whlrh a bold leadership, becked hy a rttxolute people,
have won. Both rales and franchise*, and all other right* must be estab
lished upon a baste of equity and right, but with this much said say (air
Mi J*H infinite* obeaM mato M clear to thaaghtfoi am that nay
effort to Impose nnjust conditions Upon the railroad* dapiy because the
power Is 111 the people'* hand* to do no—any effort to oppreao or to punlah
the** corporation* ‘for past Bins by present burdens or. over exactions,
would be the very folly of statesmanship and (he most dangerous of poli
cies In the certainly of It* reaction.
Any man who thinks will realize that the railroad* of this country
are In dire distress ttiday. The day of darkness for them has came.
Their period of misfortune Is upon them. With their schedules domor-
Ixed, with their systems all awry and with their policies almost In a
panic under the conditions of the hour, no man who Is either dear or juit
can fall to appreciate tbelr difficulties and their danger at thlrtlme.
Let us hope that the atrong men who stand for government In thla
hour of trial and. of readjustment will remember that the railroads them-
aelve* are a part—and a beneficent part—of our civilisation—that their
stock* aad bonds are a part of the possessions of oar people—that tbelr
effectiveness and their prosperity are ‘indispensable to the continued
growth find prosperity of this country and that the duty of those who
represent the people and the future la not to cripple In any way but to
regulato wisely find firmly, yet Justly nod considerately.' the great trans
portation lines upon which hang the commerce of the future and the
development of our territory In every section of the republic.
This la a ,tImo when conservatism becomes a duty a* high ns patriot
ism and Justice an obligation ax deep as public Interest.
Mr. Harriman's word* are epochal In- their announcement of the
changed policies of the American railway system. The people are now
on trial for their capacity to handle the advantage developed by this re-
' markable situation.
ONE OF GEORGIA'S
BRILLIANT. WOMEN.
Though now claiming Alabama aa'her

Georgian by birth and Waring, having

somewhat unusual distinction of com
ing from Revolutionary ancestry

Miss Andrews has been prominent
In so many ways—as educator, author,
lecturer and 8oclatl*t reformer—that It
s hard to tell under what aspect to
onstder her. Her writings have been
is varied as her other activities, In-
ludlng humorous sketches, short sto
ries. political and adlAtftltic papers, and
at least two poems, "A. Memorial Day
Ode.” and some very* beautiful* verses
entitled “Haunted.” which the author
of "My Maryland" says are alone
enough to Immortalise -bar. She has
also written a number of aerials for
different magaxlnea of which “The
Mistake of HI* Life," published In The
(’hautauquan, and “How He Was
Tempted," In The Detroit Free iVesa,
are considered among the best. Her
three earlier novels. "A Family Se
cret." “A Mere Adventurer" and
'Prince Hal." were brought out h>* the
Mpptnroti Company, of Philadelphia
The first waa a war story, and had a
large sale.
Rut her greatest aucceaa, from q
financial point of view, came from a
moat unexpected quarter. Mias An
drews haa always been devoted to the
study of botany, an occupation which
she took up entirely for amusement,
and as a relaxation from the more
pressing care* of life. "In fact, so
useless, and so purely selfish did I
consider this pastime.” ehe said. In
talking to a friend, "that my conscience
often hurt me for wasting time on It,
and 1 would steal away Into the woods
with very much the eame sort or guilty
feeling that 1 Imagine a schoolboy has
when hr steals off to play truant." In
this way, almost without knowing It.
she came to be one of tbe most accom
plished botanists tn the* South, and In
IbOO waa employed by Ihe American
Hook Company lo write a school text
book to take the place of Gray's, whlrh
was becoming out of dale. The result
wa* the famous little book. "Botany
all the Year Round," which has proved
one of the most successful works of
Ihe kind ever written, and to the sur
prise of Us author, who was thinking
mainly of the needs of the Southern
schools, has been eagerly welcomed by
tearhere all over the country, from
Dakota tn Florida, and has even found
Its way abroad. It Is particularly grat
ifying to have success come In this
way. because, aa ihe botanist-author
remarks, "It aeems ss If the awret wild
flowers, like good children, are repay
ing me for the love I have lavlahed
upon them all my life."
In parson Mis* Andrews Is of the'
most ftmlnlne type, fair and alight,
timid and retiring in manner, and
averts lo social functions, though per
fectly at aaae when addressing an
auditnr*. because perfectly free from
self-ronst-loueneaa. She It stylish and
elegant looking, rather than handsome,
and always well dressed, having a nat
ural feminine fondness for pretty
clothes and dainty things. The photo
graph we give represents her at the age
of it. She say* that no woman ought

Miss Andrews speak* three language*

and Rumps, and her feats In walking
and mountain climbing would put to
shame many a woman of half her year*.
"I have lived In the wood* ao much."

WAS BULLARD'S EXECUTION
A NEAL PUBLIC NEED?
To the Editor of The Georgian:
It I* so much easier to aak than to
anawtr questions of this nature, yet the
need for Intelligent Isnswer le evident,
and from differing points of view an
swers brill come.
In the esse of Bullard no question
arises s* to the killing; that wse done
with every detail of cruel, brutal mur
der. Was tne man of sound mind?
Did he reallie the enormity of the set
Unon the answers much dependg. There
arc those who believe that the legal
execution of a convicted murderer la as
much a need aa It waa In the long ago
period when men were nailed lo crosses
and permitted to ille by alow torture.
In order that the community might be
protected. Theae recognise no law of
progress which valla for change, bul
clinging to the old barbaric methods
demand Mood for blood, vengeance In
full measure.
• But even theae recognise some need
Tor clemency at times when there
seems no need that the extreme pen
alty shall ne applied In order that so
ciety may l<e protected. Bui wc who
believe that the day Is past when the
hangman Is A need find much of cheer
as wa contemplate present sentiment,
for the grew some spectacle presented
when Bullard wa* hanged suggest that
many will come Into our camp, aban
doning the old and adopting the new, to-
wit: Life must be rendered sacred, and
thla can noi be Induced by the spectacle
of the slate retorting to the death pen
alty. when othtr better and more af
fective means ire at hand—Imprison
ment and effort to Induce reform.
The recent fplsode will go far -In
the direction of Inducing men to aban
don the death penalty, and so out of
apparent evil wilt come the ultimate
good. One of Favannah's moet bril
liant young’ Iswxere, In a communica
tion addressed tb the Bar Association,
takes up the mi Her of pardons. He
states:
"From January, 1*05. to April, 1*0*.
a period qf fifteen months. III pardons
were granted."
There la Id the «nitre communication
not a trace of dogmatism, but It la a
sound legal' argunent. unanswerable
If hie premise be granted; but we of
the laity de not always admit the
soundness iff the' argument which
hntds'to something tike Infallibility
when Judge and Jury have pronounced
verdict and given sentence.
Before we ran Intnlllgenily pass upon
ihe wisdom of thea-t pardons we need
to know more of the result, whether
it be good or evil, cr more probably a
mixture of both, for there Is no known
Infallible supreme court which never
errs. By reason of some persons) ex
perience In Ihe mstter of pandons. I
know that the pardon hoard ta s con
servative body, quite likely tn Its final
decision to deal wisely and well: In the
r nlcular rase In which I was engaged
know that In the art of clemency
there has been n<| mistake, but rather
the highest wisdom and good. Both
Governor Terrell and the members of
Ihe board may rest assured that they
have marie no mistake, and t am grate,
ful for the good deed done by them.
There does not seem to me danger of
harm to come to the community by
these acts of clemency, and If there be
e danger H Is. I think, lhat there may
be too few such Sets giving tn the
convict opportunity lo remedy hla er
rors and to be of service tn the commu
nity.
The stale can well affurri to enter
the field of experiment and lo tell tha
parol* system, th* Indeterminate sen
tence and nther modern methods of
dealing with our unsolved problems,
whlcb In some way must be solved.
Even the life convict slmuld have some
fay of hope differentiating and grant
ing privilege to tha well behaved con
vict. holding out tn all that good con
vict will result In mitigated sentence.
We send our patients to a hospital
to be treated nnd cured; whan cured
we discharge lliem. Is there any rea
son why our -moral Invalids, who have
stumbled and fallen, should b* differ
ently treated?
Prevention fit-si, but If this fall, then
active treatment, hoping In cure: after
that, restoration and freedom. In this
way we fulfill that perfect law of
love which Ilea at the base or ouf social
system.

THE CAUSE AND REMEDY
FOR RAILROAD WRECKS
To the Editor of The Georgian:
The perfect avalanche of railroad
wrecks which w* hear of every day
have become so alarming that careful
people will; \te afraid to travel. They
are. In my opinion, due principally to
two causes: Too much hsste; too
heavy rolling stock.
Every railroad Is trying to msks
faster lime than Its competitor. I see
they ere going to reduce the time from
New Tork to Chicago to sixteen hour*,
and all other line* are trying to Invent
some mean* of making .faster time, tilt
they hsv* passed the limit of safety..
The twromdllves are now so heavy that
they are enough to crush In any
bridge or trestle or mash any track.
I sow o'ne on Ute Southern track which
they said weighed 140,000 pounds.
Buch a ponderous weight of Iron, when
passing rapidly over a track, w ill rock
from one side to thr other. With ev
ery such motion It has a tendency to
strain and loosen-the spikes, and then
comes th* spreading of the rattt; Slid
then an accident which the railroad
people say was an act of Providence.
There la no remedy for thla unless
congress will pass an art taking the
railroads In charge and compelling
them to reduce th* speed and also use
lighter rolling atgek. M. F. O.

OBSERVATIONS.
“By George,"
To the Editor of The Georgian:
1 came in touch recently with a
five-old boy who made two futile ef
forts to destroy a church by fire and
waa almost successful In hie second at
tempt. I told the little fellow that ti*
was a pyromanlac, but he did not get
offended In the least.
I am somewhat of a pyromanlac my
self. or at least I believe In that doc
trine. I do not believe in burning the
church aown with literal fire, but I be
lieving In burning the church up with
the fire of Christian seal.
I am also In favor of gelling so l,„t
after certain current practices that they
will bo scorched lifeless and formles-
The signs of the time Indicate tl,"
downfall of that dread tyrant, alcohol,
that haa for ao long hold captive mil
lion* In his tyrannous thralL Hu
throne la trembling, hla onca proud
tread la tottering, hts sway Is slot,I,,
yet surely, losing strength.
God. give u* men Uke Bam Jones m
wage from the pulpit and platform a
relentleaa warfare against the abomin
able evil, end men like F. L. Seely and
John Temple Graves to use the power
of the press In stamping out the a,-
cursed traffic forever!
I observe that poor Mr. Rockefeller
la having • sight of trouble try ing , •
get rid of hla monay. He certainly
goes to a tot of worry and Is subjected
to much cruel criticism, all to have th*
Joy of grimly grinding money from the
people and th* glory oLgracefully giv
ing It beck.
I observe that they are talking »f *
Hoke Smith presidential boom. If th"
boom It honest end In good health 1
am glad. But ao many scheming syc
ophants and truckling trickster* amt
designing demagogues and pusillani
mous politicians have succeeded In In
gratiating themselves Into the g >
graces of public servants, that 1 gi'"
thla warning to Mr. Smith, free gratia
for nothing. I pope that he will n„t
be cajoled or hoodwinked, but will re
main true to hla great trust and prove,
as predicted. * strong defender of the
