Forbes Says More Honest Men
Are Taking Hold—Paints
Brady as “Fixer,”
By B. C. FORBES.
Th® •chool financier* are pass
ing. Men of bettor moral fibre, men
Imbued with higher ideals, men more
democratio it» their sympathies and
possessed of more enlightened ideas
oornceming their responsibilities to
ward the public and the oommon
wealth are taking their places.
* • •
Anthony N. Brady was essentially a
financier of the nineteenth century
type. He embodied most of the faults
and a few of the virtues of his class.
It was remarked of him yesterday by
one of his intimates, President Wal-
laoe, of the Central Trust Company,
that he was the soul of loyalty to his
friends, *even though they were dead,*'
that he was a man of simplicity, not
given to ostentation, and intensely
democratic.
« • • •
But Mr. Brady the publio knew was
different. He was a dictator, a
“fixer” of politicians, a boss of Al
bany and New York bosses, a stock
market manipulator, an enemy of
publicity, a handler of profitable
“side-lines.”
* * *
He was king of frach'se-mongers.
• * *
If a gas company wanted a fran
chise, Bmdy had to be seen. If a
traction company wanted the right to
lay lines, Brady was the man to han
dle the job. If an electric light and
power company needed valuable priv
ileges from a community, Brady could
get them.
• • •
Franchises obtained for nothing—
except a “consideration” to poli
ticians—could be turned into fortunes.
The public first parted with the fran
chises and then paid Brady and his
cronies millions for them—by buying
the stocks and bonds issued on the
strength of them. Wall Street’s esti
mate of Anthony N. Brady's wealth
is $50,000,000.
* * *
The exposure of the Wall and Cort
land street traction deal afforded the
public an insight into the Brady art
of transforming a franchise into a
fortune. Thomas Fortune Ryan and
his bosom friend (Brady) quarrelled
over certain spoils, and the disgrace
ful truth came to light.
• * *
Brady, like others of his genera
tion, liked to work in the dark. He
did not believe in publicity. In this
respect he was a fit companion for
Ryan. His ways were those of H. O.
Havomeyer, the sugar king. To this
day William Rockefeller has supreme
oontempt for public opinion. H. H.
Rogers also had 6cant use for pub
licity. Nor had John D. Rockefeller
for many years, although a deoade
ago he saw a great light, and has
acted differently sine©. J. P. Morgan
latterly realized the power of public
sentiment, and was sensitive to criti-
oism, as is his son. E. H. Harriman,
too, woke up before he died—you
may recall his sudden change of front
toward the reporters.
• * •
The Ryan- Brady-Whitney clique
outlived its day. New York would
not submit to it to-day. Its machina
tions were of the “public-be-damn©d”
order. Its policy was to “see” po
litical bosses. The successful finan
cier of the new generation must
square himself with the public.
Truckling with men of the Murphy
stripe no longer pays in the end. It
is too dangerous. Public opinion can.
not now be “accelerated” that way,
to use Lemuel Quigg's famous phrase.
• * •
Finance is being forced into the
open. Bribery and corruption are be
coming unprofitable.. Corporations
now strive to placate the public
rather than the politicians.
• • •
To rise from a bartender to a Wall
street magnate was an achievement,
no doubt, but the path was dev»ous.
• * *
The wine members of the younger
generation will not seek to follow if.
The straight path it is being dis
covered, is the only one that brings*
the kind of sucoesa worth winning,
the kind that oan be left as a wel
come legaoy, the kind that leaves no
sting.
* * *
It is not enough nov/adays to be
loyal to friends. The financier who
would aspire tcf greatness must be
loyal to the public. A fat purse, filled
by questionable methods, will not car-
ry him very far.
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
South Africa Faces
Nation-Wide Strike
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
JOHANNESBURG, July 26.—A
general strike is threatened in South
Africa.
The Government has replied to
the demand of the railroad men and
miners, granting certain concessions,
but not agreeing to all the demands.
The union officials are considering
whether the terms will be accepted.
The strike would tie up all industry
and work great hardship throughout
the country.

NEW ORLEANS, July 26.—Hayward
« Clark: “The weather map shows
cloudy over nearly the entire belt. Rome
nne rains In Northwest Texas, North
Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Alabama. Light showers over the
antics, cooler In the West. Indi
cations are for partly cloudy to cloudy,
with more rain over Sunday, particu

* * •
Dallas wires: “Texas and Oklahoma
are generally clear.”
* • *
The New' Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “Spinners’ takings for the week
were larger than expected and August
was befriended. For these reasons, yes
terday's cotton market behaved very
nicely in the presence of rather general
rains, except in West Texas and West
Oklahoma, where cloudy weather was
reported.
“In the past very hot weather in the
West, when not continued too long
without rain, has left no serious im
print on the size of the crop. Rains
are needed in the West now. and the
fact that the forecaster persistently
promises fair weather over that section
of the belt keeps some of the talent on
the anxious seat. But should good rains
come to the West In the near future, the
Mg crop man would be In position to
exploit big crop views in a telling way.
“As a matter of fact, August Is now
so far below' a spot parity that it seems
well able to take care of itself. Yes
terday notices of intention to deliver
500 on August were issued In N eW
Orleans. This cotton was taken up by
July longs, and represents the portion
left after the July tenders were culled.
At the moment, the local talent does
not know whether to expect further
tenders or an attempt to squeeze Aug
ust shorts It is likely that the August
traders in the main are straddlers, and
that they are not operating with a view’
of handling large lines of the actual
this month.”

American and British Teams Meet
in Second Day of Play for
Davis Cup.
Special Cable to The Georgian.
WIMBLEDU^, ENGLAND, July 26.
With the count one and one, the Eng
lish and American lawn tennis teams
to-day met in the double match to
gain the vantage point of the play
for the Davis cup.
The American contingent is much
disappointed to-day over th*> defeat
of Maurice E. McLoughlin, of whom
ho much was expected, in the single
match yesterday with J. C. Parke. The
young Californian had already defeat
ed Parke in the open tenrtis matches
last month, and his defeat was entire
ly unexpected.
Both matches yesterday were so
hard fought that the bettLng to-day
is at even money and take your pick.
Each game yesterday required five
sets to bring out a w.inner, and when
play was over In the second match.
R. Norris Williams, of Philadelphia,
had evened up the score by defeat
ing C. P. Dixon.
To-day’s play is between McLough-
11 n and Harold H. Hackett against
Dixon and H. Roper Barrett.

G. D. Potter says: “The reaction
may go a little further, but. on any
weakness would increase holdings in
stocks like Union Pacific, Copper, Read

ket. Futures were off % to %d More
favorable weather In Russia, larger of
ferings and a lighter demand for the

able weather in the Northwest and the
lower prices established here yesterday,
brought about the liquidation.

was ideal for the filling of the crop,
and South went ern advices told of good
weather for threshing and movement.
Minneapolis and Duluth received a total
of 158 cars and Winnipeg til cars, com
pared with 93 and 117 cars respectively
