SEVERAL years ago circumstances thrust me into a position in which it became possible for the friend who figures in these pages as Godfrey Loring to do me a favor. He, being both wise and kindly, never misses a good chance to put another under obligations. He did me the favor. I gratefully, if reluctantly, acquiesced. Now, after many days, he collects. When you shall have read what follows, you may utterly reject my extenu ating plea that any and every point of view upon life is worthy of attention, even though it serve only to confirm us in our previous ideas and beliefs. You may say that I should have repudiated my debt, should have refused to edit and publish the manuscript he confided to me. You may say that the general racial obligation to mankind-and to womankind-takes precedence over a private and personal obligation. Unfortunately I happen to be not of the philanthropic temperament. My sense of the personal is strong; nry sense of the general weak-that is to say, weak in comparison. If " Loring " had been within reach, I think I should have gone to him and pleaded for release. But as luck will have it, he is off yachting, to peep about in the remote

""The Treason of the Senate"" is a political expos����� published in the March 1906 issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine, written by American journalist and novelist David Graham Phillips. The book criticizes the United States Senate for being corrupt and controlled by big business interests. Phillips argues that senators are more interested in serving the interests of corporations and wealthy individuals than the American people. The book details instances of bribery and corruption by senators, including the selling of political appointments and the manipulation of legislation to benefit corporations. Phillips also argues that the Senate's lack of accountability and transparency makes it impossible for the American people to hold their elected officials accountable. ""The Treason of the Senate"" was highly controversial when it was published and led to Phillips being criticized by politicians and the media. However, it is now considered a classic work of muckraking journalism and an important critique of American politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

American writer, Phillips worked as a newspaper reporter in Cincinnati and New York City, rising to editorial rank on the New York World, for which he wrote until 1902. He became noted as a muckraker and was famous as the author of a series of sensational articles exposing corruption in the U.S. Senate that appeared in Cosmopolitan magazine.

The Second Generation begins: In six minutes the noon whistle would blow. But the workmen-the seven hundred in the Ranger-Whitney flour mills, the two hundred and fifty in the Ranger-Whitney cooperage adjoining-were, every man and boy of them, as hard at it as if the dinner rest were hours away. On the threshold of the long room where several scores of filled barrels were being headed and stamped there suddenly appeared a huge figure, tall and broad and solid, clad in a working suit originally gray but now white with the flour dust that saturated the air, and coated walls and windows both within and without.

Even now I cannot realize that he is dead, and often in the city streets-on Fifth Avenue in particular-I find myself glancing ahead for a glimpse of the tall, boyish, familiar figure-experience once again a flash of the old happy expectancy. I have lived in many lands, and have known men. I never knew a finer man than Graham Phillips. His were the clearest, bluest, most honest eyes I ever saw-eyes that scorned untruth-eyes that penetrated all sham. In repose his handsome features were a trifle stern-and the magic of his smile was the more wonderful-such a sunny, youthful, engaging smile. His mere presence in a room was exhilarating. It seemed to freshen the very air with a keen sweetness almost pungent. He was tall, spare, leisurely, iron-strong; yet figure, features and bearing were delightfully boyish. Men liked him, women liked him when he liked them. He was the most honest man I ever knew, clean in mind, clean-cut in body, a little over-serious perhaps, except when among intimates; a little prone to hoist the burdens of the world on his young shoulders. His was a knightly mind; a paladin character. But he could unbend, and the memory of such hours with him-hours that can never be again-hurts more keenly than the memory of calmer and more sober moments. We agreed in many matters, he and I; in many we differed. To me it was a greater honor to differ in opinion with such a man than to find an entire synod of my own mind. Because-and of course this is the opinion of one man and worth no more than that-I have always thought that Graham Phillips was head and shoulders above us all in his profession.

I mean young men of your class. Led by young lawyers and merchants and young fellows living on inherited incomes?

Their whole idea of life is exploiting the masses -- is reaping where they have not sown or reaping not only what they've sown but also what others have sown -- for they couldn't buy luxury and all the so-called refinements of life for themselves and their idle families merely with what they themselves could earn.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
