Bisbee daily review., 1918-07-09

A New York paper, in a long editorial upon the late United States Senator Ben Tillman of South Carolina. contains worthy epitaph for he of the pitchfork sobriquet when 1t concludes: He was able and honest; peace at last to this fine old fighter" When Tilman first came into political power he was scorned by the patricians and loved by the plebians of his state. His wild bull of Basham tactics won him his place in the public eye. but these did not keep him there. They can never keep a small, weak man in high place for long. He must have force and ability to stay there His long career in the senate smoothed the rough places of the disposi- ton and tanned the firery spirit. His inner ent sense of fairness came to the surface in the process of the development of his strong mind, and in the end, he won the respect of his old enemies of South Caro- lima, and so he died with the honors of statesman and not the mere notoriety of politician. He entered office as menace, but his wit and good sense and inherent in- telIigence gradually led him to paths where he was of real service to his state and na- ton.
