JAMES J. HILL ON OI K I'ORKIGN
i-ii t n v
James J. Hill, the great railroad
' , tftsn, recently contributed to The New
York Times an Interesting article on
' x our trade relations with the Orient.
Mr. Hill takes the position that them-,
both present and prospective, are the
vJ'Teverae of encouraging "This.'' lie
says, ' is not bemuse the trade Is not
"to, fee had, enormous In the aggregate
and immensely desirable, but becaune

; arguing either for or against those

V .-, they affect our trade relations with

'First, the tariff. It Is Impossible lo

parently nothinst less than a tool of
blackguards by which money is extort
ed from the rich "Upon threats to
print unpleasant and even damaging
things about them. Curious as It
seems, that great and icood man, Je
rome, is placed In the position o de
fending this publication, while Osborne
is prosecuting it and laying bare Its
Infamous policy with all the energy
that generally characterizes his move
ments. True, the district attorney
cannot help himself, and would In all
likelihood be glad to do otherwise
probably he would rather begin prose
cution of the Insurance grafters,
about which he has talked much but
accomplished apparently nothing.
The case is one of criminal libel
brought against Norman Hapgrfod, ed
itor of Collier's Weekly, by Justice
Deuel, of one of the New Tork courts,
because of the publication of a story to
the effect that he was connected with
Town Topics. Being a criminal charge,
District Attorney Jerome must go
through the form of prosecuting HaD
good, which necessarily Involves a de
fence of the vile publication and Its
blackmailing methods. As In most
cases of this kind, the complainant and
not the defendant Is really on trial.
Judging by the evidence so far offered,
Hapgond will not be convicted, and
therefore the charges he made against
Justice Deuel will be established. Then,
unless the Town Topics crowd are en
abled to escape through a legal techni
cality, it would seem to be the district
attorney's duty to turn his attention
to prosecuting those he is now endeav
oring to defend.
Some days ago The Observer re
quested that some one of the South
C'arolLi.a brethren tell It why Jacks
township, Laurens county, created so
much comment by voting out the dis
pensary, and In reply we get the fol
lowing from our most agreeable con
temporary, The Charleston News and
Courier:
"Jacks township Is bounded on the
south by The Newberry Observer, a se-
dltlous newspaper, and on the north by
The I.nurensvllle Herald, which Is faith
fil lo the end (of I he dispensary!, now
nearing. Over It the ghost of Sardls Al
liance travels and througn It stalks.
i Time was when all resolutions except
those from Lisbon and fioshen Hill Al
liances originated In Sardls. In those
days the Wall street Influence generally
polled from 7 to 9 to 11 votes, against lit!
to J05 for Tillman, Reform and the sub
Treasury, or something belter, and 'tho
best solution of the whiskey question."
Now In course of time two of the minor-i
Ity died. Hence when the ever rebellious
and wholly contumacious Newherrv Ob
server predicted that JackH township
would vote againut the dispensary, the
ever vigilant and loyal I.u urensvIHe Her
ald manned the guns and cried aloud a
railing challenge. The clvllliscd world
looked upon The Newnerry Observer as
besldo Itself. Nevertheless, Jacks town
ship voted madly, wantonly and reckless
ly, at the ratio of 3) to 16 In favor of The
Observer and a dry era. and the 'hant'
of Sardls Allanee Is nthlrst. Such are tha
horrid facts."
We ate under many obligations to
our Charleston friend for his explana
tion and assure htm that If it should
be found la'er on that we do not vet
fully grasp the situation It will be our
fault and not his.

The Idea, which has been
this State on more than
one oc casion,' is In all probability a
good one. It Is a further Improvement
over private executions, which were In
deed a great stop forward from the
deplorable spectacle often presented
when men were hanged In public.
That wo a splendid tribute paid the
memory of the late Dr. Rumple by the
suspension of exercises at Livingstone
Collets (colored) during the funeral at
Salisbury. Ths incident was In marked
contrast to that of ths students of
an Alabama negro college who quit ths
institution because bf the employment
of Southern white man as farm su
perintendent. Unlike some or tha ne
gro colleges in the South, Livingston
has a colored president and a colored
faculty and they do good work. , ,

The finding that a supposed victim
of hasers at a Mississippi college Is
atlU alive naturally put a atop to a
grand . jury investigation of his sup
posed death. Recent events have tend
ed to make such stories appear reason
able even though the victims receive in
fact no serious hurts.
The idea of digging the canal by
contract seems to be gaining ground.
The question would probably be as to
whether a private concern big enough
to undertake a task of such magnitude
can be found. It would eeem, however,
that certain parts of tha work might
be profitably delegated to private con
Xractors. The Memphis News-Sclmltar speaks
of Hon. Poultney Bfgelow as the man
"who went to school with Emperor

Emperor when he presumed on his col

most of these men: is past," 1 ,
AH newspaper readers will remember
how signally Charles Major reversed
nis popularity as signally, almost, as
Jewey reversed this when, at some
function at Indianapolis, he referred to
himself as standing in "the white light"
of fame. HIS book. When Knighthood
Was in Flower, was the leading seller
of the day, and ytet the big. apparently
gullible public showed the distinction
in its mind between fame and fashion,
when, with' a great roar of laughter
from ocean t ocean, It pooh-poohed
Charles Major out of court and has
never let him come back. The marvel
of the country a few years ago was
Berthan Kunkle, author at seventeen
years, of the Helmet of Navarre. What
precocity, what intimate Information
of the life of the reign of Louis what
glorious and raoid succession of du
els and complications and love and
fireworks! It was the past tense is
employed after thoughtia cracking
good story, for a man of fifty, to say
nothing of a girl-child of seventeen; no
older than Bryant, when he wrote
Thanatopsls. What was to be her
destiny? Ah, It was thrilling to specu
late about! But, Bertha Runkle? in
quires the "modern" reader. The name
somehow seems familiar. What has
become of her? Do not the literary
bulletins report things about her?
Whom did she marry and where does
she dwell? No one knows. She, as a
public property, Is as the songs of yes
terday: The wjnd has blown her all
away. For the short flickers of fiction
rrom ner tna: one sees in me maga
zines once In a while, very indifferent
fiction, do not count. She was doubt
less sensible enough to see that happi
ness was more nearly possible In other
directions:. she Is wiser as a wholesome
housewife and a happy, simple mother.
This Bookman devotes two pages to
pictures of the six authors of last year's
best sellers, three or them women, Mrs.
Humphry Ward, Alice Hegan Rice, and
Katherlne Cecil Thurston, and the
other three, Thomas Dixon, Jr., George
Barr Mr-Cutcheon and Robert Hichens.
Mr. Dixon's picture occupies, virtually,
a full page, the other two men being
stuck in at oblique corners. He is rep
resented as seated, pad and pencil in
hand, on his veranda at Dlxondale.
Don't you suppose this makes Charles
Major and the other has-beens mad!
"For sorrow's crown of sorrow
Is remembering happier things."
Perhaps Charles Major returned from
the "white light" to the dusk of hla
law office, looks from the triumphal
half-tone of Thomas Dixon to his se
date stenographer and mutters the lines
of Beat tie's Minstrel: ,
"And yet the languor of inglorious
days
Not equally oppressive Is to all:
Him who ne'er listened to the voice of
praise
The silence of neglect can ne'er ap
peal." Another thing In this Bookman Is a
picture of "the men of the "Sun"," the
group having been photographed pre
sumably at the recent banquet tend
ered the managing editor. There -are
ninety-nine men In the picture, two or
three gray-beards and the rest young.
Ninety and nine! And the Bookman
ays they are not all In the picture.
What, considering all the mysteries of
metropolitan Journalism, can the paper
find to do with such a force? Studying
the photograph, one cannot keep out of
one's mind a picture of ' the ordinary
country weekly, where the editor Is
business manager, printer, .reporter,
mailing clerk, wood-boy and everything
else, except the transient hobo whom
the linotype has superseded and whom
The Banner employes per diem, not

Oh, pshaw!
Talking about the Bookman, In Its
resume of 1906, It says: "Then, too,
there is more evidence or the Individu

own story, for the novel made to re
cipe, whether It be of the American
Revolution school or tho Rural or
H'ksh school, or the After the Meth

about this Is evidenced by a personal
