Fish Falls Before Harriman.
And so the Hsrritnan Influences
have at last prevailed to put 8tuyve
suit Pish out of the Illinois Central
railway.
The reason of this Is one not cred
itable to the spirit and trend of the
modern railway.
StuyvesAit Pish while u railway
magnate has always been an expo
nent of the most liberal and gener
ous policies ‘toward tbo people who
supported the great system which
ho represented. The complnlnt about
Stuyvesant Fish Is that he did not
pay big enough dividends lo the
stockholders of the railroad.
But In lieu of this. Stuyvesant
Pish has paid reasonable dividends
even on watered stock, and has spent
a part of the enormous earnings of
the road In keeping up and develop
ing the section of country through
which It ran. He has been n promo
ter of enterprises. He has been a
helper ot factories. Hd has shot hfh
side tracks Into a thousand indus
trial enterprises. Ho has made his
great railroad tho engine and agent
of progress In such a strenuous and
consistent fashion that Instead of be
ing looked upon as an octopus and
cuemy ho Is regarded as n benefac
tor and friend by the people who live
along tho long lines and branches of
the Illinois Central railway.
It Is for this sin that Stuyvesant
Fish's boad falls Into the waste bas
ket beforo the snickersnee of the re
morseless Harriman. To llarrlmun
there are no bowels ot compassion
and no blood of public spirit toward
the enterprises and Industries of the
people. To Harriman the ohlet cud
of the Illinois Central man Is to glo
rify Mammon and enjoy him for
ever. He Is iierfectly willing to
be blinded to the conditions .which
make a railway system acceptable
and welcome to a great section of the
country.
In this view K. II. Harrlmuu has
always been the antithesis and
tagonlst of Stuyvesant Pish. They
have fought In a number of directors’
meetings the antithetical battle of
liberality and groed. * They have
locked horns over questions of poli
cies that have planted the Illinois
Central deep In the good will of n
great people, which Is in Itself the
I argent and richest policy ot ultimate
dividends, end upon the other basis
'of taking as it comes every dollar
that ran be wrung from the condi
tions and necessities of a people and
leaving their growth and develop
ment altogether to themselves.
Stuyvesant Pish has lost and Hur-
riman has won and It remains to be
seen - whether the Iron policies of
greed will In the end l>c ns good and
st great a thing for the Illinois Cen-
tral as the nobler poller of helpful
ness and cooperation.
The one thing which redeems In
fact the victory of Harriman aqd the
defeat of Pish Is the rumor that Vice
President Harrahan will now become
the president of the road. Mr. Har
rahan Is well known in all the South.
He was at one time with the Louis
ville and Nashville railway In New
Orleans, and In that capacity made
friends of all the uewspaper men In
Dixie and built a high reputation
along the lines that Pish has fol-
With the Illinois Central he has
been an able and popular official both
with the stockholders and with the
people, and there must Indeed have

of Mr. Harrahan If aa the president

broad and generous pollutes and the
genial and kindly spirit which lisa

The Hon. J; 0. W. Beckham,
Master Politician.
The Hon. John Crepps Wlckliffe
Beckham, governor of Kentucky, has
scored again.
His defeat of United States Senator
James Bennett McCreary In the state
primary held in Kentucky Tuesday
marks another of a series of remarka
ble achievements by that ambitious
young politician.
A little less than oue year ago he
engineered the undoing of the veteran
J. C. S. Blackburn, whose defeat as
United States senator by Judge Thos.
H. Paynter was accomplished In the
legislature at tho end of a campaign
of unusual length and bitterness. Even
In the moment of that victory, Beck
ham and his lieutenants, the latter all
young mid ambitious like himself,
planned to relegate Senator McCrea
ry to’private life, this tlrtie lo make
way for the advancement of the young
governor himself.
The defeat of Blackburn, grown
gray'in the service of his party and
state, had been regarded by those of
long experience and observation as an
imiiosslble undertaking. - Blackburn
was strong In nil those qualities and
traditions that go to make the popu
lar Idol. He had been ft dashing and
Intrepid soldier of the Confederacy,
lie was an orator, whose eloquence
was of the’old school—silveriest of
the sllv'er-tongued. He was a story
teller of national reputation.' He was
close to the people—magnetic In his
person, picturesque ns a public figure.
But Blackburn and his veteran fol
lowers went down liefore the younger
element of tho Blur-grasS Democracy,
led hy Beckham. The campaign left
deep scars, and even with the advan
tage which success gave him. tho
prediction was freely made that the
young governor hud shortened his po
litical future, and that If his vaulting
ambition should seek to snatch tho
remaining senatorial toga for hlmBolf,
he would terminate his political ca
reer.
The result pf Tuesday's primary Is
the answer Beckham has made to
these unfavorable prophecies. Mc
Creary curried the Louisville district
bj- a majority of more than 7,000,
which was believed to be large enough
to Insure his nomination. Early re-,
ports were to this effect, but when the
returns began to roll in from the rtt
ral districts, it became evident that
Beckham gains would more than off
set the advantage of his opponent In
several of the populous city districts,
At last accounts u majority of 4,000
for Beckham seemed assured.
The political history ot no state In
tho Union presents n more unusual
career than Beckham's. Entering pol
itics ns a page In the Kentucky house
of representatives In 1881, he enjoys
the distinction of having been the
youngest governor In tho United
States. At the time ot Ills election
lie was 30 years old and Is now
When he takes his seat In the United
States senate he will be the youngest
member of that body. Ho was speaker
of the Kentucky house of representa
tives in 1898, after serving for sever
al terms oil the floor. In 1899 lie wus
nominated for lieutenant governor on
the ticket with William Ooobel. On the
face of the returns he was defeated
by John Marshnll. ot Louisville. He
contested the election, and before the
contest wns decided Mr. Goebel was
assassinated. Mr. Beckham was there
upon Inaugurated governor. In 1900 he
defeated John W. YerkoB for governor
and III 1903 he defeated Colonel At. B.
Belknap, of lsiulsvllle.
It la difficult to account for the suc
cess of this young .man. lie Is not a
statesman—far from it. lie Is totally
lacking In the magnetism or other per
sonal quulltles which have won politi
cal advancement for other men lack
ing In real ability.- Beckham has douo
Kentucky no conspicuous public ser
vice. Thut the mantle of Goebel
seemed to fall upon his shoulders will
not explain the triumphant march of
the boy governor and Ills followers
over tho fallen Blackburn and Mc
Creary. Goebel was a man of and for
the people—a tower of strength
against the encroachments of corpo
rate wealth. The Louisville and
NnAtvlIlu railroad never feared a man
in public life. us It feared Goebel.
Beckham, on he other hand, has never
seriously antagonized the corpora
tions. lie is not unpleasing to the
corporations—has never caused the
L. ft N. any sleepless nights. Beck
ham has won whatever of lsipularltj"
he enjoys hy his fight for control of
the saloons, and he did not plunge into
this of any overpowlng Impulse of his
own. but from the outer pressure of
public sentiment.
Governor by the accident of Goebel's
assassination, as RoAscvelt is presi
dent by that of McKinley's, Beckham
has done no "public acts, to entrench
himself as Roosevelt has. He would
never have been governor except for
Goebel's assassination. Hts most loy
al followers will not contest this state
ment.
The best answer to the problem of
Beckham's achievements Is found In
his long service In the school of prac
tical politics. The term of his school
ing is thus indicated: Page In the leg
islature. 1881; United States senator,
1909. There Is not a branch of the
game that Crepps Beckham does not
know. What others have accomplish
ed with sjs-ctaculai- effects, this boy
tioliticlaii has surpassed with cold po
litical strategy. He has followed the
biblical injuiictlou of casting his po
litical bread upon the'waters, and his
faith has never been shaken by Its
failure to return to him—only It has
never required many days for the re
turn trip. Beckham has also the keen
discernment that hns enabled him to
select able, often brilliant, young lieu
tenants. These have served hint faith-
fully and well, so that today hq Is the
political maater pf the state that gave
the nation Henry Clay. |
As Others See It.
The opinions ot other people are al
ways interesting upon important
questions, particularly wnen the peo
ple themselves sit in the vantage tow
era of observation and- represent'
vlows that have'befit inflriential for
many years.
Notwithstanding the scope of Tues
day's election, the- general interest
of the country was unquestionably
cantered In New York, and ^two-
thirds Of the comments upon the elec
tion Is confined t<J the lAsue.fcf the
New York state campaign.
The best -proof of the tltalliy and
the Indestructible mission of Hearst
Is the fact that he Is still commented
upon everywhere as a live and vital
force by the organs ot Republicanism
and the newspapers of monopoly.
The Washington Post, which we
have before time inferred to as one
of the sanest and ablest of American
journals, thinks that Mr. Hearst's vote
was tremendously significant of his
personal iiopularlty and of his mis
sion. The Post says that with a dis
organised Democracy, with a divided
Tammany and with the powerful in
fluence of the president, and with a
solid press against him, the size of
his vote Is sufficient proof that the
people of New York are not satisfied
with existing conditions, and that the
contentions of Hearst had a great
foundation In the factB of the times.
The New York World, ablest and
fairest of metropolitan papers that
have opposed hint, says that the elec
tlon of Hughes hy his stated plurali
ty Is morally a Republican defeat.
But the most significant utterances
which have come to us from the re
joicing journals of the Hughes per
suasion, is the following, which we
quote in full from that great Repub
lican and corporation organ, The
New York Sun:
the ticket of the judges, and nobody
made any effort or spent any money
with, any especial vigor to compass
and defeat them—while, on the other
hand, the world, the flesh and the cor
porations were massed In a desperate
opposition to Air. Hearst.
ir the Democratic party as a party
bad stood by the regular nominee of
Its state convention at Buffalo, Hearst
would have been elected by the same
or a greater majority than was given
to Cbanler. If Tammayy Hall had
stood by Mr. Hearst as loyally as they
stood by Chanter, Mr. Hearst's major
ity In the greater city would have
been equal to Chanter's and be would
have been governor of New York.
About tho only consolation that can
be derived from tbe situation Is the
purely partisan congratulation which
one feels over the comment of The
New York Sun, that the Republican
party is not responsible for tbe nomi
nation of Hughes, and least of all for
his election.
And with this scrap of comfort we
will try to while the tedious hours
away until we can find something
more tangible as a basis of hope and
of foundation for a new endeavor.
MISSING ‘HUBB Y ’ LOCA TED
IN CELL; LOCKED HIM UP
'AND FORGO7 ABOUT HIM
OBSCENE PICTURE8.
"The Republicans at Saratoga
would not have nominated
Hughes. They did not want him.
They would have nominated
Illgglns, or possibly Black, and .
the election of eltter would have
been Imiiosslble. Hughes was
nominated-only In tardy recogni
tion of tho spectre of Hearst and
because the most consummate
and masterly politician of our
time compelled tho cowed and Ir
resolute cohorts at Saratoga to
choose him.
"What hns the Republican par
ty dono for Hughes? Nothing.
It advanced the uso of Its name
and a reluctant nomination. But
ho has boon elected governor of
the state of New York! Yes, ho
Iihh been elected governor of the
state of New York In spite of the -
Republican party. Even the stu
pidity and futility of Woodruff
und Ills Incompetent, apathetic
gang have uot availed to defeat
Hughes. The liarty Is reeking
with lcadors whenever there Is
graft in the air, but what has a
leader done for the lonely figure
that has beaten the stato Into
decency and common sense? Not
a tiling. Not one of them has
raised a finger In Ills behalf. It
looks as if only their lack of cour
age kept them from openly Joining
the party of Murphy. Heurst and ,
the Devil!
"No, the Republican party had
little to do with the election, ex
cept as Theodore Roosevelt may
bejakeu to embody and person
ify its ancient spirit and actual
existence. Mr. Hughes was elect
ed by the people, by good Re
publicans, by honest Democrats,
and by good citizens guiltless of
tugs of any kind. The benefit
that the Republican party gets it
gets by the Individual dispensa
tion of lioth Theodore Roose
velt and Charles E. Hughes."
Of course the result In New York Is
susceptible to various meanings. The
difference between the vote of Mr.
Chuuler and the vote of Mr. Hearst
will be construed according to the va
rious prejudices of the people who
write. Mr. ChanleiHs himself a loyal
and gallant gentleman of the highest
•type. Ho was much more concerned
for the election of Mr. Hearst than
for his own. Ills election ns lieuten
ant governor has no especial nieuning
and no especial force. As lieutenant
governor, of course, he could do noth
ing except to preside oyer the senate
and to name such committees as its
rules may iiermlt. If Mr. Hughes
should die he wonld step Into Mr.
Hughes' chair with a presumptive In
heritance of the policies and princi
ples of Mr. Hearst, with whom lie was
from first to last In thorough accord.
But neither the election of Mr.
Chanter uor of the remaining iwrtlon
of the Democratic ticket carries much
of Aigniflcandb or of substantial com
fort to the friends und advocates of
reform.
Of the ntoteuieul which he had
created Mr. Heqrst was the essential
representative and the Indispensable
hea<f. Any result that eliminates him
from victory Is a distinct and definite
blow to reform, und there is no use
in trying to disguise it and no merit or
real encouragement to he deduced
from the triumph of the /est of the
ticket.
The reason why Mr. Hearst was de
feated and why others probably won.
Is because Air. Hearst was the only
man who was really opposed. Nobody
criticised'Chanler, nobody denounced

Macon, Ga., Nov. 8.—When Major J.
F. Hanson addressed the Federation
of Women's Clubs In session here to
day he ran info more trouble than all
his railroad deals ever gave hlin. , It
was the liveliest session of the federa
tion.
The betting Is 10 to 1 that If the ma
jor lias anything to say tp women, col
lectively, in the future, he will send It
through the malls or over long-distance
'phone. He was visibly ruffled when
he retired.
Major Huqson # Is president of the
Central of Geotfeia railway and lives in
Macon. He was Invited to appear he-
fore the club' and Introduce the Hon.
Gunby Jordan,, owner of many mills In
Columbus.
Now, Major Hanson Is not an ad
mirer of club women—again speaking
collectively—and he has been anything
but an advocate of the child labor re
forms Instituted by women’s clubs. This
wan all very well if* he hud, with his
usual diplomacy, confined himself to
complimentary remarks anent the
beauty and amiability of the visitors
to Bibb's fair capital—hut he didn’t.
Instead, Ug opened his heart and soul
and spoke' his thoughts freely—and
they were not complimentary to the
work of the club women. He expressed
himself on child labor laws and his re
marks were directly opposed to the ad
dress of the newly-elected president,
Mrs.'M. A. Lipscomb, of Athens.
"The reforms Instituted hy club
women are a mistaken charity," de
clared Major Hanson. There was a
cordial and enthusiastic silence. When
this had at length subsided the discus-'
slon that ensued across the floor was
something worth hearing. A joint de
bate between Major Hanson and u
number of members on the floor ensued.
“Who got the worse.of It?" some late
comer asked.
“Did you ever know a man to get the
best of It in an argument with thp la
dies?” was the only answer.
