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. , A POSTAL CLERK.

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 Today, for November. SPAIN’S ATHLETIC RULER. That energetic young ruler, King Alfonso of Hnalii.

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.” GEORGIANS IN GOTHAM.
