Tom Days Column
who's the Philistine7

TT WILL be remembered that we were
talking yesterday about the beginning
of the Phillstine and we had come to that
part Of our story which dealt wi,h the
dissolution of the partnership between
Mr.. Harry Persons Taber, the founder,
and Mr.. Elbert Hubbard, the fnancier.
Tie split came in February 1896.
At this time Walter Blackburn Harte
was publishing in Boston a little maga.
zine similar In form to the Phiistine II
had been established for some time, and
as the Fly Leaf had gained many friends,
Mr.. Hubbard made an arrangement with
Harte to merge his magazine with the
Philistlne and become the editor of the
combined publications. Harte came to
East Aurora and all went merrily for
about five months. The Fly Leaf was
wiped out. Then came some disagree
ment and Harte was dropped from the
rolls. His spirit was broken. He went
into decline and lived but short time
after the crash
Then came Michael Monahan, and his
spectacuarly brilliant career as editor of
the Phillstine is matter of history.
When his position became no longer ten
able he left the works, hired the opera
house and delivered an address which is
still remembered with delight by those
who love the picturesque in oratory Then
he took the o'clock train. Afterward he
established the Papyrus and the Phoenix,
and the work Of the brilliant Irishman
may still be found on the newsstands
monthly. When the memorial meeting
was held in East Aurora on July 4, 1915.
Mr.. Monahan delivered an address of
eulogy for Mr.. Hubbard whose tragic end
on the Lusitanla is well remembered.

But to go back to the stirring days.

But 10 go back to the stirring days.
It was in December, 1895, shortly be.
fore the general tragedy, that the Society
Of the Phillstlnes gave its first dinner
This was In honor of Stephen Crane,
whose BLACK Riders" was the first of the
vers libre to attract general attention. At
the dinner were men we'll known In news
paper and magazine work from all over
the United States, and the affair was
marked by one peculiarly remarkable in
cident. The attitude of the Phillstlne in
the beginning was that of n free lance
ono should say what he pleased about any
man or thing he pleased, so long as he
maintained a frame of mind that was
right and proper from the point of view
of the trainers Of libel laws and the ten.
cts appertainlng to good taste. During
the dinner one Of the speakers assailed
Cranes work, not indecently, not with
bad taste, but with a certain bitterness
that brought one of the guests to his feet
with a distinct protest. This guest inter-
rupted the speech with n TRADE which be-
came historic, and for few moments the
situation was tense. Then rose Robert
Mitchell Floyd, of Delaware, and saved
the day by jeerlng at both the speakers
for their crouch.
Crane was called upon then to speak,
and the calm. slight Gn stature), brilliant
genius told few truths which were
summed up In his final phrase THE
man who can't stand the gaff isn't man
at all; he's a hell of bum sport"

Solomon" to which reference has been
made, was finished in January, 1896, and
in February came the disagreement
which resulted in Taber's retirement.
With his former associates in newspaper
work in Buffalo he formed company,
and asked Mr.. Hubbard his price for his
interest in the Roycroft Printing Shop
and the Philistne. Mr.. Hubbard named
his price. The ambitious company rented
new building, purchased full new
outfit of machinery and type and was
ready to so ahead as an individual cor
poration, separating the affair from the
White & Wagoner Company, and went to
Mr.. Hubbard, Offering him a certified
check for the price he had named.
