The Bold Statesmanship of the Carriage
Makers. .
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 tarlS resolutions are likely to make memorable
If not historic'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 arc soundly laid
In fact and the conclusions are fearlessly spoken in di
rect and definite policy. There was a master-hand—
or several of them—on that carrlago builders' committee,
and if Ohio and Indiann are changing their congression
al delegations nest year, the electois of each of these
states may very properly turn their attention to the gen
tlemen who represented them in this notable organisa
tion.
There la the 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 party is so strong as almost to have caused a
rupture’In the extreme Western and Eastern wings of
that party. It ia a safe proposition 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 the Cummins fol
lowers In Iowa and the protesting shoe men of Massa
chusetts 'to silence, it not to surrender.
The other Is the minority party, although In this
matter It clearly represents the majority sentiment It
remains to be seen whether party ties will hold men—
•olid aa 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 Juat aa well that the peo
ple are not likely to get what they want, beeauio 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 hnve this great question, which
la every year becoming more vital and leas partisan, re
moved from politics and partisan dlscusston and placed
upon the high plane of fair and dispassionate considera
tion with an eye single to the great commcrclnl Interests
of the whole country.
Coming from such a body at such a time, and under
circumstances so Impressive, this near cry of thu 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 1906.
Hearst and the Herald!
Add another to the long list of services which Wil
liam Randolph Hearst has rendered to tho people and to
public decency.
The New York Herald has long been accounted tho
moat powerful newspaper In the New World. Its age,
Its . wealth, lta Independence. Its newa service and Its
vast - equipment havo given It first place among New
YOrk. and American journals, and more than one presi
dential election has credited its decision to the advocacy
which Tho Herald flung, as It did at the last moment of
Cleveland's campaign, to the one side or the 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 The Herald
has been touted as the most dignified and eminently
respectable of American newspapers.
And yet, for all these twenty yearB It baa been carry
ing on lta front page a "personal column” that has been
simply vile In Its suggestions and In its Influence upon the
morals of the metropolis. It wss literally a directory
of vice for the luring of young girls and weak wives to
deatruetton. The Herald's "personal column" haB been
the comment of the country for two decades, and. It fs
aald. has added 1200,000 to the $1,000,000 which James
Gordon Bennett makes every year out of The Herald.
During all these years no officer of the law, no
moral society, no "anti yellow newspaper" has dared to
lift its voice against the Iniquity throne^ in the columns
of this rich and powerful Journal.
William Randolph Hearst, the other day. fearlessly
Jabbed hia pen deep Into Its bloated aides, and lo! at the
touch the iniquity trembles, the moral Bense of the me
tropolis awakes, and the United States grand Jury prompt
ly returns eight Indictments against James Gordon Ben
nett for "sending lewd, lasctvous and obscene matter
through the maila."
Under exactly the same Indictment the Federal
authorities In Chicago sent Joseph Dunlap, of The Dis
patch, lo a two years’ term in the state prison, which,
being a poor man, he served to the uttermost.
Mr. Benuett, being In Europe and rich enough to
stay there, rill doubtless suffer no personal punishment
for an offense of which he Is plainly guilty, and wh0H
legal penalty would be five years' Imprisonment
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 his bold protest, has compelled
The -Herald to discontinue Its obscene and .debauching
•‘personal*,” 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 aavage attacks of The Herald upon
Hearst, the Democratic candidate has pretty effectually
aplked the biggest gun In the Hughes battery of smooth
bores.
But In exposing The Herald before the campaign
begun, and In wiping out its infamous “personalf” from
the temptations of New York, Mr. William Randolph
Hearat's courage and force have once more vindicated
their splendid usefulness to the people for whom he
labors and to the 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 lta 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 the mileage from the 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
timates of lta mileage be correct nearly every station be
tween Atlanta and Montgomery would be cut down on the
rate sheet from one-eighth to ona-balf mile In actual fares.
So that the new tax on the belt line basis la 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 Its affairs
and to make money for the stockholders' In every way
permitted by the law. There are no more faithful and
more devoted railroad officials In. Georgia than President
Wlckersham and Freight Agent M. M. Analey. They are
models of kindliness, accommodation and consideration
for the general public in every general and In every In
dividual way. The patrons of the road are the friends of
the road, and without 1 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.
Mf. Wlckersham and his freight men In this matter
are merely endeavoring In the 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 greater 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 are paid to represent.
There Isn't one of us who are kicking that wouldn't do
exactly the same thing in the shoes of President Wlcker
sham and General Freight Agent Analey.
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 la of doubtful ownership and
which Is used as a commercial convenience and advantage
rather than n 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 ns well to drift back amiably Into
the old friendly relations, remombering that-the railroad
is ever wide awake to nee and to seize an opportunity to
make money out of the people for Its stockholders, and
that the people on the other side must themselves be at
ways awake and- vigilant to discover snd to thwart the
plans 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 nnd the railroads.
Eternal vigilance Is tho price of profits—nnd of lib
erty!
TWO GEORGIA BOY8 IN TENNE88EE,—Mr.
Frank T. Reynolds, of Dalton, Ga., one of the best
nowspaper men, nnd one of the best ull-around fel
lows In every way In Georgia, has severed his con
nection with affairs In that progressive North Geor
gia city and has gone to Join himself with the force
of The Chattanooga Times, which has lately been
making some serious inroads Into the ranks of
Georgia newspaper men. We congratulate The
Times upon the accession of Mr. Reynolds to any
branch of Its working force, and assure them In ad
vance that ho’will "make good,” and that they will
be stronger for his coming.
In this connection we also congratulate The
Tlmos upon securing tho services of Mr. W. C.
Stlth, who has been a member of the Atlanta news
paper fraternity, nnd who has Impressed his fine tal
ents and 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, and wu are quite sure that
If all of its movements are as wisely made aa In the
absorption of these two Georgia boys, the success
of the new Times will be assured.
DOES HIS CAUSE HARM.—When W. E. Du-
Bols, of Atlanta, says In Tho World Today that fhere
Is much evidence to show that the Atlanta 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
had of him by thinking men In the South. He knows,
If he knows anything, that no riot In history was
more spontaneous and unexpected than this. He
knows. If he knows anything, that the four attempt
ed assaults on the Saturday of the riot and their ex
ploitation In extras on the streets was the direct pre
cipitating cause of a riot which had never been plah-
ned In any way by any element of Atlanta's popula
tion. Such statements from DuBols do much to keep
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 (he
Southern while man, and such statements as we have
quoted above do Just as much to destroy any good
will or kindly feeling previous utterances of DuBols
may have made for him In the South.
THE ADVANCE.—The Alabama magaxlne, Ad
vance, published at Birmingham, It constantly vindi
cating Its name In Its forward steps of Improvement
and merit.
Its "Alabama Souvenir Edition." Just reaching
this office, has the brightest cover front that we have
seen on any magaxlne of the season, and la a credit
to all who had a hand In Its making. The Advance
consists of SO imges of admirable articles and at
tractive advertisements representing the enterpris
ing nnd growing cities of Alabama. Us 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
IKilitlcs 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 The Advance on the beauty ot
an edition which will add much to Its reputation
and popularity.
THE WHITE WORKINGMAN.
To tJ)<> Editor of Tbe Georgian;
I wont to Indorse the article written by
Forrest Pope In Monday's Georgian, it
stating plainly, positively and fearlessly the
position and temper of tbe Southern white
workingman on tlie negro question.
In the railway mall aerrlce a
every Idt equal to the white map, except In
an far as tbe white m - . ....'
dignity, removes hlnu
n social eel— ‘
Intolerable:
Home people would say, "Get out and do
aomethlug eiae." That would he a aur-
irendor to tbe enemy, na It were, and mauy
mi hare apeot a lifetime lo the service.
I have lieen told that a certain school In
this position a specialty; and
that more of them are being appointed
every year.
Two men go Into a car In Atlanta At 6
‘dock In the morning. The clerk In charge
Is a white man. When he gets down tlie
road, the negro Mta up the door of the
car with his oirielonsness. while the white
pokes bla head under the anu of the
wild negro to deliver registered mall
to a connecting line. Those white |icopl»
on the outside who see It and are not
disgusted ure sorry for the clerk. I hnve
seen this numbers of times. I have seen
the clerk In charge to lie a negro, when
It la Initnllely worse.
Of course, under sneb circumstances the
•hlte men come to despise anything that
look* like a negro postal clerk. But ylien
he meets the olcf gardener or the plow
hand, his heart softens, mid sometimes he
wonder* why be should rebel at the en
forced clone contact that the railway mull
service demands.

GOVERNMENTAL EXTRAVA-
GANCE IN PHILIPPINES.
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
In 24 miles long and which cost close
on 13,000,000. The road Is subject to
washouts, and to keep It In repair it
will 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 where
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

A NEW BURGLAR ALARM,
Three women occupy a house near where
the girl lives. They had been away In tho
country for some time, when one day tho
operator wat* surprised to hear oue of them
enlh up a nny station, asking for her own
home uumber. The girl says: ”1 rang the
phone several times, hut, aa the houiie was
dosed, there was no answer. Then my cu-
isltv got the letter of me nnd I disclosed
y Identity nnd asked why she was calling
ier own numl»er when she knew tho house
ras closed. ‘That’s Just the point,’ cnme
the response over the wire, rather tartly:
•wo wish to scare any burglars away Ir
there are any In the house.’ ”
Records of the Revolutionary period
abound In references to Michael HIU-
egas, treasurer of the United Colonies
during the entire course of the war.
and later first treasurer, of the United
States.
This honor fs 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 exchecfUer, and
who, furthermore, donated thousands
of dollars out of his own pocket when
the treasury was empty.
Secretary TShaw la the first govern
ment official to give Hlllegas the honor
that Is due him, and within a short
time there will appear on a govern
ment note 4 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 in almost
every state of the union, came to
America In 1724< settling in Philadel
phia, where he became one of the
wealthiest and moat Influential resi
dents of the city.
The son was born in the Quaker
City in 1729, and at 21 became the bus
1ness successor of his father. Later
he aided In the formation of the Le
high C«>al Mining Company, tho first
of its kind In tho country. Ho whs a
month, r ..f tin* historic assembly brills,
and John Adams wrote in his diary for
Novomhor L’s. 177T.: ’’Hillogas is
great musician, talks perpetually of
forte and piano, of Handel, and songs
and tunes." His versatility Is further
shown by his membership In the
American Philosophical Society,
appointment to a commission to erect
Fort Mifflin, his membership in the
Provincial Assembly, for ten years, and
In the famous Pennsylvania committee
of safety.
The journal of congress, the Penn
sylvanla archives and the votes of the
assembly are filled with references to
Michael Hlllggas. variously styled
"Continental Treasurer” and “Treas-
urer/Of the United States,” and In the
archives of th* department of state
is a letter by T. McKean, then presi
dent of congress, Inclosing to Hillega&
the official notification of the latter's
re-election as treasurer of the United
States, and adding, "You are chosen
by an unanimous oallot, which is the
fullest approbation of your past con
duct.”
