The Carriage Builders' National Association, which has been alert, progressive and Intellectual during its en tire session In Atlanta, rose on yesterday to a positive helghth of statesmanship. Those tariff resolutions are likely to make memorable If not hiatorlc the annual convention of 1906. In preamble and In declaration these resolutions .bear witness to the bravest thought and the broadest states manship of business men. The premises are soundly laid In fact and the conclusions arc fearlessly spoken In di rect and definite policy. There was n master-hand— or several of them—on that carriage builders' committee, and If Ohio and Indiana are changing their congression al delegations next year, tho electors of each of these states may very properly turn their attention to the gen tlemen who represented them in this notable organisa tion. There Is Dig essential element of common sense to commend the resolutions. That the tariff requires re vision Is the unanimous cry of one great party In the re public. and the demand for Its revision In the ranks of the other par(y Is so strong as almost to have caused a rupture In the extreme Western and Eastern wings of ■ that party. It is a safe proiiosltlon that the majority of the American people would like to see the tariff re vised. What stands In the way of this desired consumma tion? Why. party policy to discourage, and party disci pline to prevent. The vast Interests resting In the hands of a few who have so long controlled the dominant party have dictated to the majority, or the rank and file, a policy of repression. The "standpatters” have cap tured the machinery and have driven tho Cummins fol- ' lowers In Iowa and the protesting shoe men of Massa chusetts to silence. If not to surrender. The other Is the minority party, although In this matter It clearly represents the majority sentiment. It ' remains to be see t whether party ties will hold men— •olid as they have heretofore been held—against their eco nomic convictions. The carriage men—than whom there are scarcely any sounder or more representative business men in the re public—know that the people want a revision of the tar iff, and the carriage men know Just as well that the peo ple are not likely to get what they want, because of the selfishness of politics and the tyranny of the party ma chine. Therefore the carriage men have voiced this clear, brave, ringing appeal to have this great question, which Is every year becoming more vital and less partisan, re moved from politics and partisan discussion and placed upon the high plane of fair and dlspasslonato considera tion with an eye single to the great commercial Interests of the whole country. Coming from such a body at such a time, and under circumstances so Impressive, this near cry of tho carriage men must surely reach the common sense of the presi dent, the congress and the people. And the tariff commission or department which may grow out of these resolutions must make historic the Atlanta convention of 190$. Hcarst and the Herald! Add another to the long list of services which Wil liam Randolph Hearst has rendered to the people and to public decency. The New York Herald has long been accounted the moat powerful newspaper In the New World. Its age, It* wealth, its Independence, Its news service and lie vast equipment have given It first plaeo among New Yoak and American Journals, and more than* ono presi dential election has credited lts decision' to the advocacy which The Herald flung, as it did at the last moment of Cleveland’s campaign, to the one side or tho other. For twenty years The Herald has scoffed at sensa tionalism and led the fight against the bugaboo of so- called yellow Journalism. Its protestations have so far bamboozled an always gullible public, that Tho Herald baa been touted as the most dignified and eminently respectable of American newspapers. And yet. for all these twenty years It has been carry ing on Its front jiage a "personal column" that has been simply vile In its suggestions and in its Influence upon the morals of the metropolis. It was literally a directory of vice for the luring of young girls and weak wives to destruction. The Herald’s "iiersonal column" has been the comment of the country for two decades, and. It fa said, has added $200,000 to the $1,000,000 which James Oordon Bennett makes every year out of The Herald. During all these years no ofilcer of the law, no moral society, no "anti yellow newsiwper" has dared to lift Its voice against the Iniquity throned in the columns of this rich and powerful Journal. * William Randolph Hearst, the other day, fearlessly Jabbed his pen deep Into Its bloated sides, and to! at the touch the Iniquity trembles, the moral sense of the me tropolis awakes, and the United States grand Jury prompt ly returns eight Indictments agslnst James Gordon Ben nett for "sending lewd, lasclvoiis and obscene matter through the mails." Under exactly the same Indictment the Federal authorities In Chicago sent Joseph Dunlap, of The Dis patch. to a two years’ term In the state prison, which, being a poor man, he served to the uttermost, Mr. Dennett, being In Europe and rich enough to stay there,-will doubtless suffer no personal punishment for an offense of which he Is plainly guilty, and whose legal penalty would be live years' Imprisonment or a fine of $40.00. "Cadet Bennett" will doubtless not accept the challenge of the Democratic candidate to come back and face the responsibility for twenty years of public iniquity. But Mr. Hearst, by tils bold protest, has compelled The Herald to discontinue Its obscene and debauching “personals," and Mr. Bennett has Informed Mr. Hearst that he will never forgive him. And with this as an explanation of the naure and animus behind the savage attacks of The Herald upon Hearst, the Democratic candidate has pretty effectually spiked the biggest gun in tbe Hughes battery of smooth bores. , But in exposing The Herald before the campaign begun, and in wiping out Its Infamous "personals" from the temptations of New York, Mr. William Randolph Hearst's courage and force have once more vindicated their splendid usefulness to tbe people for whom he labors and to tbe times In which he lives. In Which We Defend the Railroads. In point of fact the Atlanta and West Point railroad, so far from levying an additional freight tax upon Atlanta and Western Georgia on account of Its belt line, should as a matter of justice and of measurement, strike from one-eighth to one-half a mile from every passenger tariff sold out of the new depot The passenger tariff of the West .Point .road is based upon tho mileage from tho old Union depot The new Terminal station Is nearly one-half mile further out on the West Point line, and If the ancient measurements and es- tlmates of Its mileage be correct nearly every station be tween Atlanta and Montgomery would be cut down on tho rate sheet from one-eighth to one-half mile In actual fares. So that the new tax on the belt line basis is most Im politic, to say the least of It., Of course It should not be sustained. And yet there Is no sane man who can criticise Pres ident Wlckersham and the general freight agent. They are officers of the road, employed to manage ItB affairs and to make money for the stockholders In every way permitted by, tho law. There are no more faithful and more devoted railroad officials In Georgia than President Wlckersham and Freight Agent M. M. Ansley. They are models of kindliness, accommodation and consideration for the general public In every general and In every In dividual way. Tho patrons of the road are the friends of the road, and without exception friends of the popular and kindly president, who perhaps enjoys and deserves more personal good will along his line of road than any railroad president In the United States. Mr. Wlckersham and his freight men in this matter are merely endeavoring In tho usual and accepted way to serve their stockholders and to increase their dividends by taking advantage of a condition which seems to give them a legal claim for kreater mileage and more freight. The fault Is In the system and In the railroad policies of the time and not In the faithful and diligent officials who are purely-and laudably loyal to the men whose Interests they aro paid to represent. There Isn't one of us who are kicking that wouldn't do exactly the same thing In the shoes ot President Wlcker sham and General Freight Agent Ansley. Of course the railroad commission should sit down prompt and hard upon the claim of the railroad. There should not be a moment's hesitation In refusing a claim based upon a belt line which Is of doubtful ownership and which Is used as a commercial convenience and advantage rather than a necessity or a property. The people along the line are entitled to the protection of the commission in this matter. But when the decision Is rendered and the people are reassured, It Is just as well to drift back amiably Into the old friendly relattona, remembering that the railroad Is ever wide awake to see and to seize an opportunity to make money out of the people for Its stockholders, and that tbe people on the other side must themselves be al ways awake and vigilant to discover and to thwart the plana that are not In their Interests. Until the millennium—or until government owner ship—this must be and doubtless will be the relative at titude of the people and the railroads. Eternal vigilance Is the price of profits—and of lib erty! THE WHITE WORKINGMAN. To the Editor or The Georgian? I want to Indorae tbe article written by Forrest Tope In Monday’s Georgian, na stating plainly, positively and fearleaaly the poallfort and temper of the Southern workingman on the negro qnestlon. In the railway mall aervles s negro la every lilt equal to the white man, except In bo far as the white man, by sheer force and Intolerable, gome people would any, "Get out and do something elae." That would he a snr render to the enemy, as It were, and m men have apeut a lifetime In tbe aervlce. I have been told that a certain achool In eorgln mnkea the fitting of negroes foa ..■la poaltlon a apeclalty; and It la a fact that more of them are being appoluted every year. * Two men go Into a car In Atlanta at clock lu the morning. The clerk In charge la a white man. When he geta down the pond, the negro fills up the door of the ear with bis iifiriclonsneaa, while tho white man pokes his bead under the arm of the aforesaid negro to deliver registered mall to a connecting Hue. Those white people oil the outside who see It and are not dfsguaterl are sorry for tbe clerk. I have seen this nutnla-ra of times. I have seen the elerk In charge to lie a negro, when It la Infinitely worse. Of course, under such elrcnmatancea the moots the old gardener or the plow forced close contact that the railway mall aervlce demands. A POHTAI, CLERK. PRIMITIVE POLITICS. The political condition of Cuba nt the me the oormulmdoner* landed was necnl t wn* n condition almost Incoinnrebeiis .j one not familiar with the country, could not exlat in the United State* or lu any one of them. Ilrlefly Htuted, the recent rebellion was a strife between the two nrln- clpal parties, the Moderates and the Liber als. The only sljmlrtcauce In these names Is that the Moderates were the administra tion party and the Liberals tbe opposition. There has actually liecu no Issue upon any administrative or economic policy between the parties.

Reynolds, of Dalton, Ga.. one of the best newspaper men. and one of the best all-around fel lows In overy way In Georgia, has severed his con nection with nffnlra In that progressive North Geor gia city and has gone to Join himself with the force of The Chattanooga Times, which hBB lately been making some serious Inroads Into the ranke of Georgia newspaper men. Wo congratulate The Times upon the accession of Mr. Reynolds to any tiranch of Its working force, and assure them In ad vance thnt he will "maka good," and that they will be stronger for his coming. In tills connection we also* congratulate The Times upon securing tho services of Mr. W. C. Stlth, who hns been n member of the Atlanta news paper fraternity, and who has Impressed his fine tal ents nnd lovable character upon the profession In this city. The Times seems to be preparing for some very definite nnd notable Improvements In Its service and equipment, nnd we are quite sure that If all of Its movements nro ns wisely made ae In the absorption of these two Georgia boys, tbe .success of the new Times will be assured. DOES HIS CAUSE HARM.—When W. E. Du- llols, of Atlanta, says In The World Today that there is much evidence to show that the Atlnnta riot had been deliberately planned weeks before and that many of the attempted assaults were not made by black men but by white men. he destroys much of the conservative estimate which may have been hnd of him by thinking men In the South. He knows, tf he knows anything, that no riot tn history was more 8|Kintaneous and unexpected than this. He knows. If he knows anything, that the four attempt ed assaulta on the Saturday of tbe riot and their ex ploitation in extras on the streets was the direct pre cipitating cause of a riot which bad never been plan ned In any way by any element of Atlantn'B popula tion. Such statements front DuBots do much to keop alive In the minds of white men the belief of the un quenchable and unspeakable antagonism which exists In every negro's mind and heart toward the Southern white man. and such statements as we hsvo quoted above do Just as much to destroy auy good will or kindly feeling previous utterances of DuBots may have made for him In the South. THE ADVANCE.—The Alabama magazine, Ad vance, published at Birmingham, la constantly vindi cating Its name In its forward steps of Improvement and merit. Its "Alabnma Souvenir Edition,” just reaching this office, hns the brightest cover front that we have seen on any magazine of the season, and Is a credit to alt who had a hand tn ita making. The Advance consists of 50 pages of admirable articles and at tractive advertisements representing the enterpris ing and growing cities of Alabamn. Its opening sketch Is one of the state written by Its gallant and genial governor. William D. Jelks. The distin guished men and women in literature and art and ltoillfcs In Alabama are duly treated, and above all things the growth, the prosperity and the future de velopment of the cities is set forth with vigor and adulation. We congratulate Tho Advance on the beauty of an edition which will add much to Its reputation and popularity. Various expensive, but not widely helpful, measures have been under taken by the Insular government In the Philippines. Among these might be mentioned the famous Bengult Road, a piece of road the hill portion of which Is 24 miles long and which cost close on $3,000,000. The road Is subject to washouts, and to keep It In repair It w-111 cost every year between $80,000 and $100,000, or so the engineers esti mate It. It leads to the top of a moun tain; there It ends. It opens up no back country." The Idea was to es tablish a Simla, a summer capital, where government employees might seek the high altitudes for their health. There are other regions wheve a road could have served such a pur pose, and have been useful commer cially. Like the road to the top of Pike's Peak, this possesses scenic value.—Hamilton Wright In The World Today, for November. 8PAIN’8 ATHLETIC RULER. That energetic young ruler.

THOMAS B. GREGOn Records of the Revolutionary period abound In references to Michael Hlll- egas, treasurer of the United Colonies during the entire course of the war. and later first treasurer of the United States. This honor is usually given to Rob ert Morris, but the cold official rec ords show that it was Michael Hlll- egas who collected and disbursed the government funds In that critical pe riod of the national exchequer, and who. furthermore, donated thousands of dollars out of his own pocket when the treasury was empty. Secretary Shaw la the first govern ment official to give Hlllegas the honor that la due him, and within a short time there will appear on a govern ment note a vignette of the patriot who headed the fiscal system on which the United States treasury was found ed. Michael Hlllegas' father was driven out of Alsace by the Huguenot perse cutions, and with several brothers, whose descendants now live tn almost every state df the union, came to America In 1724, settling In Philadel phia, where he became one of the wealthiest and most influential resi dents of the city. The son was born In the Quaker THE NATION'S FIRSTTREASURER. City In 1729, and at 21 became the bus- high Coal Mining Company, the first of Its kind In the country. He was a member of the historic assembly bulls, and John Adams wrote In his diary for November 28, 1775: “Hlllegas Is great musician, talks perpetually forte and piano, of Handel, nnd songs and tunes.” His versatility la further shown by his membership In the American Philosophical Society, his appointment to a commission to erect Fort Mifflin, his membership In the Provincial Assembly for ten years, and tn the famous Pennsylvania committee of safety. The Journal of congress, the Penn sylvanla archives and tho votes of the assembly are filled with references to Michael Hlllegas, variously styled "Continental Treasurer” and "Treas urer of the United States," and In tho archives of the department of state Is a letter by T. McKean, then presi dent of congress. Inclosing to Hlllegas the official notification of the latter’s re-election as treasurer of the United States, and adding, "You are chosen by an unanimous ballot, which la the fullest approbaflon of your past con duct."

The Louisiana has come to the New York navy yard to be docked for over hauling before her trip. The Louisiana had her final tests less than two months ago, and Is a splendid man-of-war in first-class condition. Notwithstanding that she Is practically new and has seen little sea service, aside from the round trip to Cuba when she brought Secretary Taft home, great pains will be taken to eliminate every speck and spot that may appear In the painting. It will not be necessary to enlarge the quarters or put In new ones as was the case with the cruiser Charleston for Secretary Root's trip. Two or three ot the most spacious cabins will he espe cially fitted up for the president and his wife for the trip to Panama. The Rev.
