A few days ago The Georgian took occasion to congratulate Senator Till man, of Sontb Carolina, upon the ru mor that his entire time for the next season bad been taken by the lecture bureaus of the country, and that the senator would have not only a full sea* son but a full purse as the result of his platform work In 1908-7. To this we added the opinion that the superb attitude of the South Caro lina senator upon the rate bill during 1 ho last session of congress had great ly commended him to the admiration and respect of tho people of the conn try. and that the fidelity and splendid courage of his stand for tbe popular rights and Interest bad been not only helpful to his fame, but! would also be, as It ought to be, profitable to hla financial career. To this statement our always highly esteemed frlond of The Charleston Post responds In a strain which sup )>[ises us. We regret that we have lost i ho clipping from The Post which we would like to publish as an illustration of the attitude of so bright and able a newspaper toward a citizen aud a sen ator of Its own etate. We were under the Impression that much of the bit terncss of 8enator Tillman's brief campaign had passed away and that he was now serene and happy In the enjoyment of the esteem and confl' dence of hla constituency which he has really, honored by his course in the senate. . The Charleston Post speaks most sarcastically of the comment which The Georgian made upon Senator Till' man and expresses the fact that the only degree In which South Carolina will share In the good fortune which win be hla upon the lecture platform will be because It will remove Mm more frequently than usual from the state and keep him from meddling in political affairs of South Carollnu. We have no doubt that otner people beside The Georgian will be astonish- ed by anch an attitude toward this dis tinguished public servant, and for our own part we confess that the surprise with which we read the comment of The Post la accomiHinied with no tittle regret. We can well understand that the lo cal questions which concern a peo ple create factions upon either side, and that out of these factional differ ences come little disputes which are sometimes carried lo the point of per sonal feeling. But we felt justified In assuming that the state which he rep resented would at leaat share with the rest of the republic in extending a meed of gratitude aud of admiration to Senator Tillman for hla splendid pep formance In the last senate. At the conclusion of the debate upon the rail road rate bill. The Georgian said that in measuring the men on either sldo who had been engaged In that great discussion, no man had assumed or maintained a stronger or more admlra- ble position than Senator Tillman. We have not been among hla admirers In the past, and have perhaps criticised him as fiercely as the factional papers who have spoken In bis own state. But we d'd feel that In a period of so much mainly, and In an atmos phere cf so much suspicion, of graft and influence, that the grand old tighter from South Carolina presented a picture worthy of admiration qnd of applause as he stood there from first to last without the suspicion of Inter est In hla attitude or the hint of graft In his pocket and fought, masterfully and eloquently, for the (ante of the people against the moat colossal Influ ence that the great corporations hare •■ver sent to the highest body of Amer t can deliberation. 1 We think now that In that great de MORGAN AND RYAN TO M’CARREN—“Don’t let Hearst Get Brooklyn this year.” bate the senior senator irom South Carolina reflected honor, not only up on hla own great commonwealth, but upon the section from which he came and to the party to which he acknowl edged allegiance. We felt grateful to him then, and proud of him then, and so far as we know, he has done noth ing since then to diminish the senti ment which his performance Inspired. We regret very much If the expression of this honest admiration has offended the factional pride of our friend of The P,ost, and we both believe and predict that when these little bitternesses of a very recent battle have subsided, The Post will be glad to comment In very different terms upon the message of congratulation which Its Georgia con temporary sent across the river to the most distinguished South Carolinan of the present day. “HERE’S TO YOU, WILLIAM HEARST." '•Thli Is tho il«y big with the fate of Csto aud uf Rome..'' Democracy and true reform are In a mighty balance in the ballots of New York today. Win or lose, the great American who leads the fortunes of Democ racy. has fought the beat and bravest battle that the times have known. Against all forms of greed and graft. Against malignant slander, and unprincipled abuse; against the treason of friends worse than the wrath of enemies; against the mailed hands of his own political household— with the world weight of the trusts and the syndicates against him—with the chorus voices of tho mighty press defaming him—steadily, stead fastly, dauntlessly and with consummate energy and devotion, lie has fought on and on—to the end which the night will bring—an end which un man knows and whose meaning no prophet can foreshadow. There Is not the faint shred of a personal Interest In the altitude of The Georgian toward William Hearst. He has never owned one dollar of stock In any enterprise with which any one of the owners and operators of The Georgian has lieen at any time connected. He does not own one peuny of stock In The Georgian of today. We have uo ftTvors to ask of him, no punishments to fear. Here at leaat In this office there Is uo coterie of nuxioua and avaricious men playing n desperate game for the favor of Id* purse to help them out of Impending failure into fortune. The boundless confidence we place in him and the affectionate admira tion we freely give him Is founded from first to last upon a - better knowledge of him than most men have, and in the sheer clear conception of his high and noble purposes, and of the calm consistency and the con summate courage with which he has followed them—many times to victory and sometimes to defeat. l»ng ugo when the stay of Gils man flamed first upon the horizon of our public life, there was something in his method and personality.that enamored us. The man who did things has always been the nian of our dreams and fauole*. The element of dreamer and prophet In ourselves magnified the man of action In the person of this strange young man' who. fresh from college and without experience, had startled San Francis co and New York with his journalistic success. Aud then as be grew greater, began that marvelous and malevolent stream of calumny which never yet has flowed so fast and furious against any public man since Aaron Burr. Do you who read recall In thli connection that William Henrat never yet has spoken word In protest or denial of this tidal wave of slander? He simply let It roll—"roll In and roll on and roll past htui forever"—as It lias rolled past him now. In this period of his life the editor of The Georgian was staggered by the things that were told of him. and in this conflict between dark rumor aud dally admiration, we solved all doubts*by sight and association. For seven weeks in Washington and New York we studied this man at close range and without alloy of interest. We found him the head of a home, ideal and Idyllic. We found lilm the master of a household per sonal and professional that worshipped him for Ills lovlngkiudness to them all. From the Inst servant In his home to the first employee la Ills olfice there was enduring love and faith and confidence In the master and employer. We found him the sou of a grand old lion-hearted pbtl anthroplst of the west who, whether in the mining camps of Nevada or tu the senate halt at Washington, was the comrade, friend and helper of every worthy man In all the world. We found him the son of a good and noble mother whose woman's heart had flowed for half a century In an even stream of gentle charities that made her loved and trusted wherever the gospel of help was ktiown. From these two streams of life and living—from the loins of a father who loved his fellow men like j Abou did—from the bosom of a mother whose heart responded to every human need—from the continent currents of two great and essentially 1 generous lives—with as clear an Inheritance of pure philanthropy ns ever fell to the lot of mortal—cs.nte William Randolph Hearst Into the world. And when I saw htm there In Washington with the office boys smiling as bravely at bis entrance, as the newsboyi ran cheerily for hla pennies on the street; when I saw him halt in the domestic crises of his own life to consider the sorrow nnd anxiety of a hired servant In his halls; when I have seen the almost caressing tendorness with which he has dried the tears of n mendicant with his generosity; when I have watched the brave cause of hla great journals that never in one single hour have varied from their strong, clear championship of the plain people to which their presses were set twelve years ugo; when I have seen the princely stream In which his dollars have flowed through lawyers and courts and legislatures to relax the grip of monopoly and to loosen the commodities of life for the poor; when I have seen him only last week while h!s chauffeurs were whirling through New York In their wild Bpeed for public'meetings, and their eager rush for votes, leaning over the side of the motor with his pleasant, kind face watchful above all things for the safety of tho children and the cripples and the aged In his path—and when I have seen his blue eyes grow deep and his massive jaw grow stern In bis plea for the great principles of his faith, and the rights of the people— Then, may It please you, my countrymen, who have done us the honor to believe us sincere—then we have locked In onr hearts beyond slander or misrepresentation to remove, the serene and enduring faith, that, since Llucoln lived and Jefferson died, no man has loved—loved, I tell you— the plain people of this republic ns this great Democrat and, patriot whose honor and opportunity New York holds In her civic hands today. Let me see the honest American who will dare assail In morals or In patriotism the platform upon which William Hearst asks the balldts of his state today: To restore the American Ideals; to dethrone theqbosses and reinstate the people; to punish criminals In high places and grafters ev erywhere; to compel tho sellish corporations to he satisfied with just re turns and to treat the people right and fair; to tear down special privi leges aud to establiah equal rights. Is there any man who will assail In Georgia such principles as these? Is there any man of spiritual vision with the faith of history In his eyes who can doubt that if governments are advancing we must come to this? Is there any man—bravely and squarely now, like men—who will deny that for these principles this man has made a long, brave, lonesome fight tbat never was surpassed In the annals of the land? They may defeat him In New York today. The millions are uncount ed that are massed against him and money Is omnipotent. Pray heaven for the people's sake tbat he may win. But win or lose. In victory or defeat, here’s to you, William Randolph Hearst! The world is better and the people are already happier and freer for your life. You have shaken the' temples of mammon, and the Gibraltar* of privilege no longer smile complacent at the people's wail. No defeat for you can dim the recollection of the terror which your mag nificent crusade has carried to the selfish ramparts of monopoly. Yon hare already won more than any knight of liberty has won in fifty year*. If your great heart Is bowed by the verdict which the night may bring, re member that there Is a refluent shadow upon the Piedmont Hills of Dixie. And ao God save you, and God bless you! l gossip!
