Still Atlanta should act IU face In that direct Ion NOW. good will and confidence of the rail road atockholders and the whole peo ple of the South. 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 fallen a great change upon the spirit of Mr. Harrahan If aa the president •if the Illinois Central he chtnges the broad and generous pollutes and the genial and kindly spirit which lisa given him so large a hold upon the 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 'o rlie Editor of The* Georgina.

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.
