MS. HEABST'8 LATEST StXVICl TO JOURNALISM AND DE
CENCY.
Not the leaat among the mighty aenrlce* which William Randolph
Hearst has rendered to bla Ume. Is the destruction of the Infamous col
umn of ‘‘Personals" In which Tha New York Herald tor thirty year* baa
debauched ibe morals of the metropolis and the country.
In the memory of this generation there has not. been a thue when
this "Pcraonar''column of The Herald was aot the assignation directory
of the three and one-half million people who live In Manhattan Island.
And yet In that great city the power and prestige of The Herald wa*
ao great that no one dared assail the Iniquity or protest the debauchery.
The Herald In all It* other column* was as decent and reputable a news
paper as th* republic had ever known, and cleanliness and fearless Inde-
liendence had given It a clientele unsurpassed In quality and Influence
among American public journals. Tpe oftly explanation of tta persistence
In this moral crime was In th* fact that $* personal column netted th*
advertising, ledser some |250,t00 ever/ year.
Perhaps to this day and beyond ft Hie Iniquitous advdftlaementa would
have blazoned themselves deflsnlly In The Herald 'If William R. Heardt
had not entered the arena. ' ' .
He dared to challenge the Iniquity before which,other and older forces
hid trembled and kept still. The'kearat papers fearlessly exposed the
monstrous character of this "Parsogal" column and demanded lu sup
pression. The Herald raged atld was defiant. Ha proprietor threatened
an eternal and Implacable hostility to Hearst, but tb* latter. unterriHed
by the threats of the "greatest of American newspapers.'' kept steadily on
until last week, after six months of bitter warfare, and an avoldaficc of
America by the proprietor of the erring .paper. Th* Herald come* up
meekly and pleads guilty, to eight eparg**, of sending obscene matter
through the malla, and place* Itself at the tneroy of a law which has the
power to Impose a maximum penalty of 1(0,000 In lines or 40 years' Im
prisonment In the penitentiary.
What will be done with Mr. Bennett and his advertising manager can
not be forecasted. Several years ago for a similar offense James R. Dun
lap. of The Chicago Dlapateb. was sent to the iienttentlsry for two
years.
But The Herald la a great paper aad Mr. Bennett la still a mighty
Influence. Perhapa the plea of guilty will modify the penalty, and per
haps the editor will go free upon the payment of a heavy line.
But whatever the 'outcome it eannot be denied that the Incident has
cleared the moral atmosphere of the Fourth Estate. The atandardi of
Journalism have bean reset by the law. The business of carrying Immor
ality and Indecency Into American home* Is not one In which newspa
pers can engage and maintain a respectable standing In the future.
And for This wholesome and much needed reform, the reading public
la Indebted once more to the fearlessness and Uw fore* of tha really great
and genutno man who has established and maintains tha Hearet ayatem of
nawapapara as the friend and ebaroptoa of the honeit people of America.
ME. HASRIMAN S ANNOUNCEMENT EPOCHAL.
Nothing quit* to slgnlflcant has appeared In the railroad altuatlon of
today aa the recent Interview of President E. H. Harrlman of the Union
Pacific Hallway. •’
Viewed from the standpoint of the narrow and partisan observer
the word* of thla railway magnate simply serve to point the opportuni
ty for a new howl of demagogy and a new expression of almost vindic
tive denunciation of the railroads.
Hut viewed from the standpoint of common aense and that broad
and unselfish statesmanship which looks to the true rather than to a
tetnjmrary or personal advantage, that* words are slgnlflcant In the high
est degree of an awakening among the great railway magnates of the
country which la the solid promlao and forecast of hotter methods for
th* future.
President Harrlman. with the exception of James J. Hill, of the North
ern Pacific, la beyond quostlon the greatest corporation bsaln of America,
and hla position and Influence are second to that of no man who la man
aging vast properties In the republic today.
When a man like Mr. Harrlman breaks the long silence and the al-
moat criminal reticence of railway magnates, and confesses that tb* rail
roads have been radically wrong—In their failure to personally cultivate
better relations with the government and the people; In their failure to
establish a belter understanding with (he shippers of the country, and In
Ihelr failure to keep the faith of their own tariff agreements—and when he
proposes tor the future to lend his vast and predominant Influence to the
cultivation of belter relation* with government, shippers and the iwoplc.
the thoughtful and Interested public can draw only two or three logical
and legitimate conclusions.
First, the railway corporations, of which Mr. E. It. Harrlman Is the
recognized representative and the tallaat exponent, have come to (eel the
power of an awakened public opinion and to reaped It. They have come
to know that there la a force In Ihe republic greater than the lobby or
the money of the corporations. They havo come to realize that public
oplulon backed by the ballot Is al last omnipotent In a free republic, and
that when this publlr opinion backed by (be ballot la lad by a brave and
slrenuoua man of a republic of *0,000,00# 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 s imwrr which they cannot defy and
which they can no longer delude.
Such a conclusion aa this Is logical, defluite and clear, because It
Is Justtfled by the facts In the case snd by the development* of the last
fifteen months In the several states and In the government at Washing-
ton. i
Another conclusion equally clear la that these great railway nut-
natea, In the full realisation of their arraignment before th* liar of public
opinion with ihe ballot behind It. hare reached the conclusion that It la
better to compromise and to aurrender thau It la to fight. No man who
knows th* great railway and corporation magnates of this country will
credit them with stupidity or with- an overplus of aanliment. They are
strong men, they are wlac men and they are not of the mould and calibre
that will allow passion an|t resentment to cloud their reason or to crip
ple the vast properties tinder Ihelr control. And ao. with a common
venae which rise* superior lo temper and revenge, they are clear enough
to see that the one thing to. do with an aroused and superior power la to
compromise with It or lo aurrender to Its demands. .
And this la exactly what Harrtman’a statement means. He and hla
friends cannot fight the government. With ths president, with congress
and the legislatures of the several (late* making a eotpmon cause against
railway deficiencies and railway assertions of selflahnat*. there la noth
ing to do but to aurrender ti|x>n the bast terms that can be made with
th* superior power. And this policy the worda of E. H. Harrlman inaugu
rate. ,
Now as to the way In which thla proposition should be received.
We insist u|ion ll that nothing la more unarorthy of a great and en
lightened at* Hiss passion and revenge. The people seem to be once
more In power. They are In th* saddle and are riding triumphantly over
this field of long dispute. With these great Interests and these vast
properties practically In confession of their defeat and sthrender. the
leaders of th* people will never bold a larger responsibility than fronts
them iu this opportunity to be aa wise as they are strong, as fair as
they are powerful, aa Just aa they are triumphant and aa discreet as
they are now responsible lor the future. Any spirit pf reprisal or re-
venge that Is expressed lu word or act by tb* leaders of. the people In
thla emergency, will stamp tham aa unjust and nnwortby of the position
which a popular ballot has given them.
The leader* ol the |ieople In olficlal and unoMclal state require a firm
hand, a clear and definite Intelligence In making such arrangement! and
auch treaties with Ihe railroads aa (he Interest* of th* people may de
mand. It would be weakness lo aurrender any just claims which (he peo
ple have made. It would he Imbecile to allow them to be chiseled out of
the advantages which a bold leadership, hacked by a resolute people,
have won Both rate* and franchises, and all other rights must he estab
lished upon a basis of equity and right, but with thla much said aay lair
IMs'it clear to thuughtful man that any
effort to Impose.unjust condition*,-upon the rail reads simply because tho
power laTh the people's hands to iih so—any effort to oppress or to punish
; these corporations tor past ulna by preseat .burdens or over exaction*,
would ba the very folly of statesmanship and ibe most dangerous of (eli
des In ibe certainty of Its reaction. •
Any man who thinks will realise that the railroad* of this country
are to .dire distress today. Tip day of darkness for them has come.
Their period of misfortune Is upon them. With their achedulea demur-
Ized, with their systems all awry and with their polldes almost In a
panic under the conditions of the hoar, no man who Is either clear or just
can fall to appredate their difficulties and Uidr danger at this time.
Let us hope that the strong men who stand for government to this
hour of trial and of readjustment will remember that the railroad* them
selves are a part—and a beneficent pait—of our civilisation—that their
stocks' and bonds are a part of the possession! of our people—that tbelr
elfectlvenesi and their prosperity are indispensable to the continued
growth and prosperity of tbls country aad that the duty of those who
represent tbe people, and the future Is not to cripple In any way but to
regulate wisely and firmly, yet Justly and 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.
Thla la a time 'when conservatism becomes a duty aa high as patriot
ism and Justlceveti obligation as deep *s public Internet.
Mr. Horriman's-words are epochal In their announcement of the
changed, yadcles of. the American railway systom. The people are now
on. trial for their capacity to handle the advantage developed by thla re-
"markable situation. \

WAS BULLARD'S EXECUTION
A REAL PUBLIC NEED?
To the Editor of Tha Georgian:
It la ao much eaaler to ask than to
anawer questions of this nature, yet the
need for Intelligent answer Is evident,
and from differing point* of view an

In th* case of HullarU no question
arises aa to the killing; that was done
with every detail of cruel, brutal mur
der. Was the man of sound mind?
Did he realise the anorinlty of the act?
Unnn the unswers much depends. There
are those who believe that the legal
execution of a convicted murderer Is as
much a need as It was In the long ago
protected. These recognise no law of
progrees which calls for change, but
clinging to the old barbaric methods
demand blood fur blood, vengeance In
full measure.
But even these recognise some need
for clemency al times when there
seems no need that Ihe extreme pen
alty shall be applied In order that so
ciety may l-c protected. Hut we who
believe that the day I* pant when the
hangman-is a need find much of cheer
as we, contemplate present sentiment,

when Bullard was hanged suggest tost

THE CAUSE AND REMEDY
FOR RAILROAD WRECK8
To Ihe Kdltor of The Georgian:
The perfect avalanche or railroad
wrecks which w* hear of every day
have become no alarming that careful
people will be afraid to travel. Thar
era. In my opinion, due principally to
two cauees: Too much haste; too
heavy rolling atock.
Every railroad to trying to make
faster time than Its competitor. I #**
they are going to reduce the time from
New York to t'ltlcago to sixteen hourt.
and all ether lines are trying to Invent
some means of nuking fssier time, till
they have passed the limit of safety.
The locomotives are now ao heavy that
they are enough to crush In any
bridge or trestle or mash any track.
1 saw one on the Southern track which
they said weighed 3(0,imm pounds.
Such s ponderous weight of Iron, whffa
passing rapidly over a track, will rock
from one side to the other. With ev
ery such motion It has a tendency to
■train and lomAn the spikes, and then
comes the spreading nf the rails, and
then an accident which the railroad
people ssi was an act of Providence.
There to no remedy tor this unless
congress will psus an art taking th*
railroads In charge and compelling
them to reduce the speed and also use
lighter rolling stock. M. F. U.

OBSERVATIONS.
‘ "Sy G.orgs." "
To th* Editor of Tho Georgian:
I came In touch recently with s
5-five-old boy who made two futile ef
forts to destroy a church by fire and
was almost successful In his second at
tempt. I told the little fellow that It*
was a pyromantac. but he did not get
offended In the least.
I am aomtwhst of a pyromaniar my.
self, or at leaat I believe In that doc
trine. I do not believe In burning the
church down with literal Are, but I be
lieving In burning the church up with
the fire of Chrlatlan seat.
I am also In favor of getting so hot
after certain current practices that they
will be scorched lifeless and formin'
The signs of the time Indicate th-
downfall of that dread tyrant, alcohol,
that haa for so long held captive mil
lion* In his tyrannous thrall. Hb
throne Is trembling, his ones proud
tread la tottering, hla sway to slowly
yst surely, losing strength.
God, give us men like Sam Jones to
wage from the pulpit and platform a
relentless warfare against the abomin-
able evil, and men like F. L. Seely and
John Temple Grave* to use the power
of Ihe press In stamping out the ac
cursed traffic forever!
I observe that poor Mr. Rockefeller
is having a alght of trouble trying m
get rid of hfs money. He certainly
goes to s lot of worry and Is subjected
to much cruel criticism, *11 to have tire
Joy of grimly grinding money from Hi*
people and the glory of gracefully gi' •
Ing it back.
I observe that they are talking or a
Hoke 8mllh presidential boom. If the
boom Is honest and In good health I
em glad. Rut so many scheming *>•;
nphants and truckling trickster* and
designing demagogues anil pusillani
mous politicians have succeeded In In
gratiating themselves Into Ihe good
graces of public servant*, that I *i"
this warning to Mr. Smith, free gratis
for nothing. I hop* that he will not
be cajoled or hoodwinked, but will re-
msln true to his great trust and prove,
ns predicted, a strong defender of the
people's rights sad brev* avenger -r
their wrongs.
