MB. HEARAT'* LATEST SERVICE TO'JOUBKALUM AND DE CENCY. Not the least among the mighty services which William Randolph Haarst haa rendered to Wa tlma. Is the destruction of the Infamous col umn of “Personals'' In which The New York l{erald for thirty years has debauched the morals of the metropolis and the country. In the memory of this generation there has not ( beeu a time when thla ''Personal" column of The Herald was hot the assignation directory of the three and one-half million people who live In Manhattan Isjand. And yet In 'that graat city the power and prestige of The Herald was so great that no one dared assail the Iniquity or proteat the debauchery. The Herald In all lu other columns was aa decent and rcputablo a news paper as the republic bad ever known, and cleanliness and fearless Inde pendence bad given It a clientele unsurpaaaed In quality and Influence among American public Journals. The only explanation of fta persistence In thle moral crime was In the fact that tJkS personal eolumn netted the advertising ledger some f2SO.fiOO every year. * Perhaps to this day and beyond It the Iniquitous advertisements would have blaxoned themselves defiantly In The Herald if William R. Hearat had not entered the arena. He dared to challenge the Iniquity before which other and older forces had trembled and kept still. The Hearat papers fearlessly exposed the monstrous charactar of thla "Personal" column and demanded Ita sup pression. The Herald raged slid was defiant. Ita proprietor threatened an eternal and Implacable hoafJIRyto Hearat, but the latter, unterrifled by the tbreata of the “greatest of American newspapers." kept steadily on until last week, after alx months of bitter warfare, and an avoidance of America by the proprietor of the erring paper. The Herald comes up meekly and pleads guilty to eight charges of tending obscene matter through the mails, and places Itaelf at the mercy of a law which haa the power to impose a maximum penalty of 140,000 In fines or <0 years* Im prisonment In (he penitentiary. Wbat will be done with Mr. Beunstt and hla adverUalng manager can not lie forecasted. Several years ago for a similar offenxe James R. Dun lap. of The Chicago Dispatch, waa sent to tho penitentiary for two yeari. u. Hut Tho Herald la a great paper and Mr. Bennett la still a mighty Influence. Perhaps the plea of gnjlty will modify the penalty, and per haps the editor will go free upon the payment of a heavy fine. Rut whatever the outcome It cannot be denied that the Incident haa cleared the moral atmosphere of tho Fourth Estate. The standards of Journal lam have been reset by the law. The business of carrying Immor ality. and Indecency Into American homes la not one In which newspa pers can engage and maintain a respectable etanding la the future. And for this wboleaome and much needed reform, the reading public la Indebted once more to the fearlessness and tha force of. the really graat and genuine man who has established and maintains the Hearat system of newspapers as the friend* and champion of the honest people of America. MB. HABBIMAM'8 ANNOUNCEMENT EPOCHAL. Nothing quilt so significant has appeared In the railroad situation of today aa the recent Interview of President E. H. Harrlman of the Union Pacific Railway. Viewed from the standpoint of the narrow and partisan observer the words of this railway magnate simply aerve to point the opportuni ty for a new howl of demagogy and a new eipresslon of almost vindic tive denunciation of the railroads. Rut viewed flint the standpoint of common sense and that broad and unielfish statesmanship which looks to the true rather than to a temporary or personal advantage, these words are significant In the htgh- eet degree of an. awpkoqlng among the great railway magnates of the country which la tho solid promise and forecast of better methods for the future. 1 President Harrlman. with the exception of Jamci J. Hill, of the North ern Pacific, la beyond question the greatest corporation brain of America, and hla position and Influence are aecond to that of no man who la man aging vast properties In the republic today. When a man Ilka Mr. Harrlman breaks tho long silence anil the al most criminal reticence of railway magnates, and conferee* that the rail roads have been radically wrong—In their failure to personally cultivate better relations with the government and the people; In their failure to catabllah a better understanding with the shippers of the country, and In their failure to keep the faith or their own tarit agreements—and when he proposes for tho future to lend his vast and predominant Influence to the cultivation of better relations with government, shippers and the people, the thoughtful and Interested public can draw otlly two or three logical and legitimate conclusions. First, the railway corporations, of which Mr. E. H. Harrlman la the recognised representative and the tallest exponent, have come to (eel the power of an awakenod public opinion and to respect It. They have come to know that there la a force In the republic greater than the lobby or the money of the corporations. They have come to realise that public opinion backed by tho tiallot la at last omnipotent In a free republic, and that when this public opinion backed by the ballot ta led by a brave and strenuous man of a republic of 80,000,000 of people, these great corpora tions have opened their eyes wide and clear to the comprehension of the fact that they are at last up against a power which they cannot defy and which they can no longer delude. 8uch • conclusion at this Is logical, definite and clear, because It Is justified by the facta In the case and by the developments of the last fifteen months In the several states and In the government at Washing ton. Another conclusion equally clear la that these great railway mag nates. In the full realisation of their arraignment before the bar of public opinion with the ballot behind It, have reached the conclusion that It fa better to compromise and to surrender than It I* to tight. No man who knows the great railway and corporation magnates of thla country will credit them with Stupidity or with an overplus of sentiment. They are atrong men. they are wise men and they are not of the mould and eallbre that will allow pesslnn and resentment to cloud their reason or to crip ple the vast properties under thslr control. And no. with a common sense whlrh rises superior to temper anil revenge, they are clear enough to ate that the one thing to do with an aroused and superior power la to compromise with It or to surrender to Us dsmsnds. • And this Is exactly what Harriman's statement means. Ho and hla friends caonot fight the government. With the pretldent. with congress and the legislatures of the several atatea making a common cauaa against railway deficiencies and railway assertion* of aelflahness. there Is noth ing to do but to surrender upon the best terms that can bn made with the superior power. And this policy the words of E H. Harrlman Inaugu rate. Now aa U> the way In which thla proposition should be received. We Inslit upon It that nothing la more unworthy of a great and en lightened age than passion and revenge. The people seem to be once more In power. They are In the taddle and are riding triumphantly over this Held of long dispute. With these great Interests and these vast properties practically In confession of their defeat and aurrender. the leaders of the people will never hold a larger responsibility than fronts them In thla opportunity to be aa wlso aa they arc atrong. aa fair aa they are powerful, aa Just ax they are triumphant and ax discreet as they are now responsible for the future. Any spirit of. reprisal or re venge that Is expressed In word or act by the leaden of the peoplti la thla emergency, will stamp them aa unjust and unworthy of the position which a popular ballot haa given them. The leader* of the people In otfidal and tinnffifltl state require.a. firm hand, a clear and definite Intelligence In making such arrangement* and ■ach treaties .with the railroad* as the Interest* of the people may de mand. It would he weakness to surrender any Juet claims which the peo ple have made. It would he Imbecile to allow them to be chiseled out of the advantage* whlrh a bold leadership, becked hy a rttxolute people, have won. Both rales and franchise*, and all other right* must be estab lished upon a baste of equity and right, but with this much said say (air Mi J*H infinite* obeaM mato M clear to thaaghtfoi am that nay effort to Impose nnjust conditions Upon the railroad* dapiy because the power Is 111 the people'* hand* to do no—any effort to oppreao or to punlah the** corporation* ‘for past Bins by present burdens or. over exactions, would be the very folly of statesmanship and (he most dangerous of poli cies In the certainly of It* reaction. Any man who thinks will realize that the railroad* of this country are In dire distress ttiday. The day of darkness for them has came. Their period of misfortune Is upon them. With their schedules domor- Ixed, with their systems all awry and with their policies almost In a panic under the conditions of the hour, no man who Is either dear or juit can fall to appreciate tbelr difficulties and their danger at thlrtlme. Let us hope that the atrong men who stand for government In thla hour of trial and. of readjustment will remember that the railroads them- aelve* are a part—and a beneficent part—of our civilisation—that their stock* aad bonds are a part of the possessions of oar people—that tbelr effectiveness and their prosperity are ‘indispensable to the continued growth find prosperity of this country and that the duty of those who represent the people and the future la not to cripple In any way but to regulato wisely find firmly, yet Justly nod considerately.' the great trans portation lines upon which hang the commerce of the future and the development of our territory In every section of the republic. This la a ,tImo when conservatism becomes a duty a* high ns patriot ism and Justice an obligation ax deep as public Interest. Mr. Harriman's word* are epochal In- their announcement of the changed policies of the American railway system. The people are now on trial for their capacity to handle the advantage developed by this re- ' markable situation. ONE OF GEORGIA'S BRILLIANT. WOMEN. Though now claiming Alabama aa'her home,.Mis* Elisa France* Aildrew* I* a Georgian by birth and Waring, having moved to Montgomery only three year* ago. She wee born In Washington, Ga.. that historic little. town which has given to many prominent men and omen to the state, and enjoy* the somewhat unusual distinction of com ing from Revolutionary ancestry through all four grandpa rents, she also stands high ta the.councils of the "Daughters of the Confederacy." aad haa been an enthusiastic supporter of the order ever alaee It da* founded. In R ite of these conservative Influence*. e haa been for years an ardent Bo- lallet, but double.tbe practicability of doing much for the cause In the South, until that overshadowing problem, the race question, shall have been settled on a rational basis, aa she does not think the negro sufficiently advanced in the evolutionary scale to maka him eligible for partnership In the co-opera tive commonwealth. Miss Andrews has been prominent In so many ways—as educator, author, lecturer and 8oclatl*t reformer—that It s hard to tell under what aspect to onstder her. Her writings have been is varied as her other activities, In- ludlng humorous sketches, short sto ries. political and adlAtftltic papers, and at least two poems, "A. Memorial Day Ode.” and some very* beautiful* verses entitled “Haunted.” which the author of "My Maryland" says are alone enough to Immortalise -bar. She has also written a number of aerials for different magaxlnea of which “The Mistake of HI* Life," published In The (’hautauquan, and “How He Was Tempted," In The Detroit Free iVesa, are considered among the best. Her three earlier novels. "A Family Se cret." “A Mere Adventurer" and 'Prince Hal." were brought out h>* the Mpptnroti Company, of Philadelphia The first waa a war story, and had a large sale. Rut her greatest aucceaa, from q financial point of view, came from a moat unexpected quarter. Mias An drews haa always been devoted to the study of botany, an occupation which she took up entirely for amusement, and as a relaxation from the more pressing care* of life. "In fact, so useless, and so purely selfish did I consider this pastime.” ehe said. In talking to a friend, "that my conscience often hurt me for wasting time on It, and 1 would steal away Into the woods with very much the eame sort or guilty feeling that 1 Imagine a schoolboy has when hr steals off to play truant." In this way, almost without knowing It. she came to be one of tbe most accom plished botanists tn the* South, and In IbOO waa employed by Ihe American Hook Company lo write a school text book to take the place of Gray's, whlrh was becoming out of dale. The result wa* the famous little book. "Botany all the Year Round," which has proved one of the most successful works of Ihe kind ever written, and to the sur prise of Us author, who was thinking mainly of the needs of the Southern schools, has been eagerly welcomed by tearhere all over the country, from Dakota tn Florida, and has even found Its way abroad. It Is particularly grat ifying to have success come In this way. because, aa ihe botanist-author remarks, "It aeems ss If the awret wild flowers, like good children, are repay ing me for the love I have lavlahed upon them all my life." In parson Mis* Andrews Is of the' most ftmlnlne type, fair and alight, timid and retiring in manner, and averts lo social functions, though per fectly at aaae when addressing an auditnr*. because perfectly free from self-ronst-loueneaa.

To the Editor of The Georgian: It I* so much easier to aak than to anawtr questions of this nature, yet the need for Intelligent Isnswer le evident, and from differing points of view an swers brill come. In the esse of Bullard no question arises s* to the killing; that wse done with every detail of cruel, brutal mur der. Was tne man of sound mind? Did he reallie the enormity of the set Unon the answers much dependg. There arc those who believe that the legal execution of a convicted murderer la as much a need aa It waa In the long ago period when men were nailed lo crosses and permitted to ille by alow torture. In order that the community might be protected. Theae recognise no law of progress which valla for change, bul clinging to the old barbaric methods demand Mood for blood, vengeance In full measure. • But even theae recognise some need Tor clemency at times when there seems no need that the extreme pen alty shall ne applied In order that so ciety may l<e protected.

The recent fplsode will go far -In the direction of Inducing men to aban don the death penalty, and so out of apparent evil wilt come the ultimate good. One of Favannah's moet bril liant young’ Iswxere, In a communica tion addressed tb the Bar Association, takes up the mi Her of pardons. He states: "From January, 1*05. to April, 1*0*. a period qf fifteen months. III pardons were granted." There la Id the «nitre communication not a trace of dogmatism, but It la a sound legal' argunent. unanswerable If hie premise be granted; but we of the laity de not always admit the soundness iff the' argument which hntds'to something tike Infallibility when Judge and Jury have pronounced verdict and given sentence. Before we ran Intnlllgenily pass upon ihe wisdom of thea-t pardons we need to know more of the result, whether it be good or evil, cr more probably a mixture of both, for there Is no known Infallible supreme court which never errs. By reason of some persons) ex perience In Ihe mstter of pandons. I know that the pardon hoard ta s con servative body, quite likely tn Its final decision to deal wisely and well: In the r nlcular rase In which I was engaged know that In the art of clemency there has been n<| mistake, but rather the highest wisdom and good. Both Governor Terrell and the members of Ihe board may rest assured that they have marie no mistake, and t am grate, ful for the good deed done by them. There does not seem to me danger of harm to come to the community by these acts of clemency, and If there be e danger H Is. I think, lhat there may be too few such Sets giving tn the convict opportunity lo remedy hla er rors and to be of service tn the commu nity. The stale can well affurri to enter the field of experiment and lo tell tha parol* system, th* Indeterminate sen tence and nther modern methods of dealing with our unsolved problems, whlcb In some way must be solved. Even the life convict slmuld have some fay of hope differentiating and grant ing privilege to tha well behaved con vict. holding out tn all that good con vict will result In mitigated sentence. We send our patients to a hospital to be treated nnd cured; whan cured we discharge lliem. Is there any rea son why our -moral Invalids, who have stumbled and fallen, should b* differ ently treated? Prevention fit-si, but If this fall, then active treatment, hoping In cure: after that, restoration and freedom. In this way we fulfill that perfect law of love which Ilea at the base or ouf social system. WILLIAM RILEY BOYD. A NEW CEMETERY. To Ike Editor ef Tbe .Georgian.

They are. In my opinion, due principally to two causes: Too much hsste; too heavy rolling stock. Every railroad Is trying to msks faster lime than Its competitor. I see they ere going to reduce the time from New Tork to Chicago to sixteen hour*, and all other line* are trying to Invent some mean* of making .faster time, tilt they hsv* passed the limit of safety.. The twromdllves are now so heavy that they are enough to crush In any bridge or trestle or mash any track. I sow o'ne on Ute Southern track which they said weighed 140,000 pounds.

With ev ery such motion It has a tendency to strain and loosen-the spikes, and then comes th* spreading of the rattt; Slid then an accident which the railroad people say was an act of Providence.

OBSERVATIONS. “By George," To the Editor of The Georgian: 1 came in touch recently with a five-old boy who made two futile ef forts to destroy a church by fire and waa almost successful In hie second at tempt. I told the little fellow that ti* was a pyromanlac, but he did not get offended In the least. I am somewhat of a pyromanlac my self. or at least I believe In that doc trine. I do not believe in burning the church aown with literal fire, but I be lieving In burning the church up with the fire of Christian seal. I am also In favor of gelling so l,„t after certain current practices that they will bo scorched lifeless and formles- The signs of the time Indicate tl," downfall of that dread tyrant, alcohol, that haa for ao long hold captive mil lion* In his tyrannous thralL Hu throne la trembling, hla onca proud tread la tottering, hts sway Is slot,I,, yet surely, losing strength. God. give u* men Uke Bam Jones m wage from the pulpit and platform a relentleaa warfare against the abomin able evil, end men like F. L. Seely and John Temple Graves to use the power of the press In stamping out the a,- cursed traffic forever! I observe that poor Mr. Rockefeller la having • sight of trouble try ing , • get rid of hla monay. He certainly goes to a tot of worry and Is subjected to much cruel criticism, all to have th* Joy of grimly grinding money from the people and th* glory oLgracefully giv ing It beck. I observe that they are talking »f * Hoke Smith presidential boom. If th" boom It honest end In good health 1 am glad. But ao many scheming syc ophants and truckling trickster* amt designing demagogues and pusillani mous politicians have succeeded In In gratiating themselves Into the g > graces of public servants, that 1 gi'" thla warning to Mr. Smith, free gratia for nothing. I pope that he will n„t be cajoled or hoodwinked, but will re main true to hla great trust and prove, as predicted. * strong defender of the people’* rights end brave avenger t tbelr wrong*, arovetown.
