THE DEATH OF SENATOR MORGAN.
In the death at Washington, D. G, on Tuesday of Hon. John T. Mor
gan, United States senator from Alabama, one of the most remarkable
men of the South has been removed from tbe field of political activity.
Born at Athens. Tenn., June 20, 1824. Senator Morgan had led from
early manhood a life In touch with ad questions of Interest appertaining
to a period teeming with problems and policies which Insistently clamor-
ed for solution.
When only nine years of age, young Morgan, with bis parents, moved
from Tennessee to Calhoun county, Alabama, and npon attaining to man
hood he studied law at Talladega, and began the practice of his profession
at tbe early age of tweaty-ona years.
The first Impression made upon national politic* by tho ' embryo
statesman waa In tbe memorable campaign of 1880, when he was a presi
dential elector on th« Breekenrldge ticket.
His speeches at that time gained him a reputation for oratory which
he sustained for many succeeding. years. After entering the national
senate, General Morgan largely lost that attractive quality* of speech
which men term eloquence, although he was perhaps the most prolific
speaker In that august body.
His physical and mental powers of endurance were signally empha
sised on several crucial occasions, when by his ability to continue bis
speeches, he succeeded in preventing vicious legislation Inimical to the
best Interests of the South. This was especially the case In bl* memora
ble speech In the discussion of the “Force Bill," which be was able to
continue for several days, thereby contributing perhaps more than any
other factor toward the defeat of this outrageous measure.
In the late years of his Ilfs, the glow and magnetism of oratory waa
made subordinate to the conservative and almost conversational style,
affected l>y national senators.
Goucral Morgan waa g member of the - Alabama convention which
passed the ordinance of secession In 1861, Joined the Confederate army
at tbe beginning of tbe civil war as private and rose to the rank of briga
dier general, his last military service being In tho commands of Long-
street, Hood and Johnston.
He resumed the practice of law after the war In Selma, Ala, and from
that time became a potential figure In the politics of his state.
As early as 1876, General Morgan was elected a member of the United
States senate from Alabama and has continuously served as such up to
tbq time of his tjeajh on Tuesday.
Ills last re-clcctlon took place at the meeting of the Alabama legisla
ture during the past winter. Although be bad attained to an unusual ago,
be was loth to retire to privato life, and the state be represented waa un
willing to relegate him to retirement, cherishing for him a sentimental re
gard and a desire to gratify bis ambition to “die In harness."
Senator Morgan’s chief claim upon the admiration of the South was
his rare and wonderful gifts ns a constitutional lawyer. As snch ha had
not n superior and certainly very few peers. His opinions on all ques
tions appertaining to state, national and International law, received the
profoundest respect and consideration in this country and in Europe. His
discussion and defeat of the Iniquitous "Force Bill," and his years of
ceaseless labor for an Isthmian canal brought Senator Morgan perhaps
more conspicuously before the country than any other Southern states
man. Notwithstanding the Nicaraguan route was not chosen, and tbe
Panama route was selected Instead. Senator Morgan will always be re
garded as tbe prime factor in securing this great waterway which, when
completed, will be of Incalculable benefit to the 8outh, In Its material
and Industrial development
For many years Senator Morgan has resided almost ontlrely at
Washington, thus, In a large measure, separating himself from Intimate
and personal aiaoclatlon with the people of Alabama, yet the pride and
admiration felt for hts remarkable intellectual attainments, his broad
and comprehensive vlow of national problems and his absolute and un
changing devotion to the South, environed him with an atmosphere of un
questioning loyalty and . affection In the minds of the people of the great
state he so ably represented.
Tho South has given to the republlo no more remarkable man than
Senator Morgan. Although far past the proverbial three score years and
ten. his death may yet > be regarded as untimely.
Senator Morgan will bo succeeded In the senate by Hon. John H. Bank-
head, of Alabama, who with former Governor Joseph F. Johnston was
eleoted alternate senator a few months ago.
Tho legislature which reassemble* at Montgomery In July will con
firm Mr. Bankhead's olectlon as Senator Morgan's successor.

MR. FAIRBANKS GETTING HIS DUE.
When Mr. Fairbanks waa carried Into office upon tho prestige of the
president whom he trailed, the public little knew of the methods he la
said to have used In exploiting himself for tbe ofllco. It la alleged upon
pretty good authority that he paid tho biographer, paid for the printing
and. In fact, supplied the book completo that patted for the story of hts
wonderful dotoga and sayings, giving a hard luok story of his youth, and
omitting anything that suggested Railroad Magnate-Ism or the like. Then
when men of might would give him tho glad handshake, ho would pre
sent a copy of Smith's work on Fairbanks (a la Fairbanks), so that each
great man who should fall holr to the noble work might alt up o'nlghta de
vouring the pages of history (by himself.)
Self exploitation la a bad sign (Guilty? Yea, thrlee guilty, my lord,
but we ate talking about Mr. Fairbanks), and we thank God that the
day la coming, and now la, when self-exploited wonders are sent to the
rear and real men who can do things are coming to the front
Mr. Fairbanks, of course, hat held a harmless position to a great ex
tent, because our president baa been spared In llfo nnd health, and, too,
because the office Mr. Fairbanks has held may be made something or re
main nothing hut a routine, Just a* the incumbent please*.
Mr. Fairbanks won’t be our next president nor will ho be even a vico
president again If the tinea of his band remain as they are now.
Our system of astrology aaya we won't have any change for president
and that the next strongest man in tho nation today ts going to be nls
partner In a continued and enlarged career of doing things.
We have our guess who that man la—what Is yours?

ON TO VAGABONDIA
By GRANTLAND RICE, In The Tennessean.
Come, break the bond and hit the trail with me—
Snap short the fetters, throw aside the hood
Of duty—come, I say, that you and I may see
Some things which stand as God first willed they should.
We've tried It here among the crowded brood,
‘ We've won or lost—what then? Just count the odds—
What has success to match with solitude,
And rest from strife among the sylvan gods?
The high road now—we’ve left the tight behind;
We’re vagabonds—no duty holds us fast;
We're brothers only of the wandering wind—
The grime and dust and su|len roar are past.
No creeds go here—there's neither right%or wrong—
But only life such as tit* old gods- knew—
Life broad and deep, life brave and true nnd strong;
Which few have known—ah, happy, happy few.
When morning breaks our duty Is to live;
Through noon we wander and at twilight rest
Unbroken re»t the trail alone can give,.
And sleep untroubled to each wandering guest
We count no cost, for there is naught to pay:
No friends go false, fop all is comradeship;
And hand In hand we Journey on the way.
Unheeding by the golden hours slip.
The highway greets us, and the waving trees
Nod welcome os some kindly friend would do,
And all around the murmur of the breeze.
And overhead God's vast, eternal blue.

SUGGESTIVE REMINISCENCES.
The present agitation which threatens to disturb the quietude. If not
the peace, of the United States and Japan can bo largely attributed to ele
ments In both countries which are thoroughly Incendiary and have be
come a menace to the welfare of Japan and the United States. The.prei-
ent conditions forcefnlly suggest a period of comparatively recent date,
when tho country waa precipitated Into a well-nigh useless war with
Spain through flamboyant speeches at Washington, and the pyrotechnic ef
forts of certain dally newspaper!.
Without entering Into a dlscuailon of the righteousness of a cause
which formed the basis for a declaration of hostilities, the mind natural
ly reverts to the sortous problems Imposed upon the nation as a result
of the quarrel with Spain. The tact that tho United Bute* has become a
world power” does not ontlrely compensate for the burdens of responsi
bility. the years of military domination and the tremendous death rate
which stand to the credit of the control and occupation of th* far-off
Philippines.
Fortunately the breexea of tho present International dissension are
not dally fanned by the pictorial Journals of tho country. The pathetic
representations of the starving “reconcentrados," as all meu know, were
perhaps more largely responsible for the Spanlsh-Amertcan war than any
other factor of that period. It Is well to recall Just here that tho purpose
subserved, the attenuated "reconcentrados" disappeared from Cuba, "like a
thief In the night," leaving no trace of previous existence except the pic
tures in certain dally papers which had caused the national nightmare.
The Philippines with Its dire problems are separated by many thousands
of watery miles from this country of our*. but still It is close enough to
keep lu tbe minds of tho best element of our people tbe danger of bring
ing about unnecessary foreign complication*.
The conservative political sentiment of the United 8tates and of Ja
pan should deal with the questions now under discussion, relegating to the
background the Incendiary clement.
The latter might with propriety be filed for future use and reference,
with the “cuts" of the starving reconcentrados of Cuba, who grew ro
bust as soon a* war was declared between this country and Spain.
GEORGIA EDITORS ARE ON
RECORD TOR PROHIBITION
To the Editor, of The Georgian:
No louder bugle note for state pro-
hlbltlon baa sounded through the
length and breadth of the state than
that of the Georgia editors.
The newspaper, in many respects,
hastmore Influence in moklng and con
trotting public sentiment and Influ
ence than any other agent. ' It Is Just
end proper teeny.that there has been a
marked Improvement In the moral tone
of the newspapers, particularly the
country papers. For their courage and
fidelity, to tho cause of humanity, for
the good of the .whole people,-these no
ble men deserve the thanks of alt good
people and should be remembered by
all who pray, "Thy kingdom come."
From childhood I have regarded the
newspaper a welcome vlstor, aa I
read the Milledgevllle Recorder and
Augusta Chronicle In the thirties,
have seen the papers increase and
many have opposed the temperance
cause and many have been silent. Hav
ing been Identified with the cause of
temperance since 1844, surely 1 have a
right to rejoice: to thank Qod, and to
be encouraged. 1 signed first tho Wash.
Ingtonlan In 1844: then the Sons of
Temperance, In which Mr. J. E. Brown
wee an officer In Eatonton in I860. At
that time many of the great men of the
state were leaders In the great cause.
There was a great rally at Marietta In
1849. Chief Justice Joseph Henry
Lumpkin was the chief speaker. The
war set us back, but we are In eight
of victory today. All honor to the re
tiring governor, J. M. Terrell—no wine
at (he banquet! He Is soon to be a pri
vate cltlsen and all tho people say,
• well done, good and faithful servant.''
Last but not least. The Georgian de
serves the loudest praise. The pioneer
city paper to decline whisky advertise
ments, and you may be sure you have
not lost by It, though you took tho
risk. The people want to know the
right, and they wilt do right when they
see It. Let them have light, Show It to
them and they will walk by it.
