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. \ ONE OF GEORGIA'S BRILLIANT WOMEN.

She has also written a number of serials for different mngaslnes. of which "The Mistake of HI* 1-lfe," published In The I'hautauquan, and "How He Was Tempted." In The Detroit .Free Press, are considered among Ihe heal. Her three earlier novels. "A Family Se cret."

In talking to a friend, “that my conscience often hurt mo for wasting time on It. and I would steal away Into the woods with very much the eame sort of guilty feeling that I Imagine a schoolboy has when he steals off to play truant." In this way. almost without knowing It, she caine to be one of the most accom plished botanists In the Routh. and In 1(00 wa* employed by the American Book Company to write a school text book to take the place of Gray's, which was becoming out of date. The result was the famous little book. "Botany 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 swers will come. 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, for the grewsome spectacle presented when Bullard was hanged suggest tost many will come Into our camp, aban doning the old and adopting the new, to wn: Life must be rendered sacred, and this can not be Induced by the spectacle of the state retorting to the death pen alty. when other better and more ef fective means ire at hand—Imprison ment and effort to Induce refornu The recent rplsode will go Tar In the direction of Inducing men to aban don the death |«>nalt>. and so out of apparent evil will come the ultimate good. One of I’avnnneh's most bril liant young law) era, In a communica tion addressed to the Bar Asadttatlnn. takes up the nutter of pardons.

There ta In the intlro communication not a trace of dogmatism, but It Is a sound legal nrgu nent. unanswerable If his premise he (ranted; hut we of ihr. tally dp not always admit Ihe soundness pf the argument which holds to something like Infallibility when Judge and Jury Imve pronounced verdict and given wntence. Before wa can Intelligently pass upon Ihe wisdom af thesn pardons we need to know more of the result, whether It be good or evil, cr more probably a mixture of both, fpr there Is no known infallible supreme court which never err*.

I think, that Ihere may be too few such acta giving to the convict opportunity to remedy Ills er rors and to be of service In the commu nity. The state can wall afford lo enter the field of experiment nnd l-i test the parole system, tha Indeterminate sen tence anil other modern methods of dealing with our unsolved problems, which In some way must Is* solved.

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. Rome. Ga.

" 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.
