The Late Senator MORGAN.

| ne Late senator morgan.
In tho many tributes which arc being
paid throughout the country to the
late Senator Morgan of Alabama, prob
ably no expression is more often found
! than that which characterizes him as
"a statesman of the old school" 1t is
! 50 apt and 50 readily understood that
| the temptation to use it is irresistible.
| Senator Morgan was a man of pic
turesque personality. always dignified
| in bearing, obstinate in his opinions. an
eloquent orator and a man whose abso-
| lutte integrity was never questioned in
the more than so years that he repre-
scented his state in the upper branch at
Washington. Both in length of SER
vice and in age he stood second on the
roll of senators. The only man in the
Senate who was his senior in years was
his own colleague, Pettus, who was
three years older and the only man
who entered the Senate earlier than
Mr.. Morgan was Senator Allison of
Iowa. His death leaves but two
octogtrari2ns in the Senate, Senator
Pcttus who is Sc and Senator Whyte of
Maryland who is Of the same age as
Morgan, So.
Senator Morgan was a native Of Ten
nessce hut most of his life was spent in
the state which gave him its highest
honcrs and the answering love and es-
TEEN of it's people. He won the rank
Of a brigadier general in the Confeder-
ate army during the Civil War, but his
service in civil life in later years has
been 50 conspicuous that nobody ever
thought to address him or refer to him
as General Morgan.
Probably the thing for which his long
service in the Senate will be best re-
membercd is the fight he led for many
years in behalf of the Nicaraguan
route and against the Panama route.
The many speeches he made upon this
subject have hardly been cQualed in the
history Of the Senate in their extra
ordinary length combined with cX-
traordinary care of preparation. Al
though he had a wider and more mi
mute knowledge Of the subject of 18TH
mian canals than any other man in the
Senate ana although as a speaker he
had few equals i'll that great body, he
was unable to convince the Senate of
tho merits Of the Nicaraguan route,
ana doubtless went to his death firmly
convinced that a great mistake had
been made III building the canal at
Panama.
He never held public office except his
long service in the Senate, but he made |
for himself an enduring place in the
history of the South and Alabama
may well pay his memory the highest
Il pnprs today as it lays him to his final
rest He will be greatly missed at
Washington and his successor, who it
is understood will be ex-Rcpresenta-
tive Hankhead who was defeated for |
reelection by Hobson and who is an
able man, will fall far short of filling |
his place.

The Lewiston sun wants the Journal
to explain how this country can sell
raw cotton. apples. butter ana bacon
ana other articles i'll England III COM
potion with India. Egypt ana Canada.
The reason is simple. These countries
have never raised cotton. apples bacon
or butter enough to supply the
English market. This is an advantage
our farmers have always had and
probably always will have. There
does not appear to be any argument in
this fact for the destruction Of our
great home market. the best in the
world, through a tariff policy that
would force return to low wages. and
cheap prices.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1907-06-15

Tho Journal defends it thc sugar
tariff on the grounds that as we get
more for our lumber we can afford to
pay moro for our suSar.-Watcrville
Sentinel.
We defended it upon the ground that
the protection which had enabled us To
raise and refine in the United States the
great bulk of the sugar we consume
had greatly reduced its price in the
home market. When we imported all
our sugar from abroad it retailed
everywhere at 10 cents a pound.
With the development Of the industry
in this country the price was reduced
to about 5 cents a pound. 1t is time
that the tariff which makes our great
prosperity enables many thousands of
our citizens to enjoy more of the COM
forts of life than would otherwise be
the case. but it does not force them to
pay more for their sugar the price of
which has been reduced one-half under
the policy of protection which has re-
liaved us of the monopoly of the
American market once enjoyed by for
eiSn producers.

Tramps Who Do Not Tramp.

I
| No matter now great Il degree Of
prosperity the country is enjoying
there is always an army Of tramps
abroad in the land. men who dodge
work whenever they see it and make a
business Of cumming their way across
the country, constantly committing
petty crimes ana not infrequently
crimes that arr very serious. and max
ing themselves a nuisance to society in
general. Very few members of this
great hCpo brotherhood have been seen
in this part Of the country in recent
years, but in some other sections and
especially along the railroads which
are the great arteries of tranSconti-
mental travel they are more or less
numerous all the time. At this weeks
national Conference of Charities and
Corrections, held at Minneapolis, O. f.
Lewis Of New York read a paper on
the vagrancy problem in the United
States in which he Gwclt mainly with
the tranps from the point OF view of
the railroads.
1t is 4 startling fact that the rail-
roads of the country kill more tres
passcrs each year than the combined
totals OF passengers and trainmen
whom they Kill ami thousands Of these
trespasscrS are Migrants who are steal
ing a ride from point to point. AL
though tine American vagrant is COM
monty called a tramp he does just as
little trantping as possible. Pedestrian
ism is not in his line as long as freight
trains are available. In the five years
from 1901 t. 1905 no fewer than 1851
TIRE SpasScrS We're killed on American
railroads in comparison with 1929
employees and only 1850 passengers.
Nobody knows how many Of these tres
rasscrS were traups but certainly hum
dr,ds if not thousands of them were
persons VIII" We're stealing rides. Dur
inS 1905 over 800 trampS were arrest
81 for stealing rides on the trains of
the Pennsylvania Railroad alone, and
the Now York Central Hudson River
line reports that over orc third of its
police work has to do with Migrants.
With al great railroads it is the same
story ana the problem is one Of no
small Importance to them. These
tramE$ not only steal rides ana add to
the great total Of people killed on the
railroads these things would not scri-
uusly disturb railroad officials, perhaps
but the tramps also annoy the train
crews, commit thcfty, interfere With
signals, place instructions on the
tracks. stone trains. and even burn
stations and freight houses for
revenge.
IN his paper Mr.. Lewis speaks of the
comparative freedom Of New England
this happy condition Of things the fact
that its railroad lines do not represent
great arteries If travel, that its climate
during large part of the year is not
conducive to Migrants, and that tramp
laws are more stringent in this section
and better enforced than in other parts
