STUART A Famous Journalist's Story of the Rise of a Poor Boy to High Public Honor. “NEVER MADE A PROMISE THAT WAS NOT FULFILLED” Emerged From Trying Term of Office With Echoing Plaudits of a City. There was no more aggressive sup- porter of the fusion state ticket and the City Party movement in Philadelphia last fall than the Philadelphia “Even- ing Bulletin.” Its editor-in-chief, William Perrine, author of the famous “Penn’’ comments upon men and meas- urek in that independent journal, gave this word picture of the Republican nominee for governor in his character- istic,-frank and manly manner, shortly after the selection of the Republican standard-bearer: “At the close of the gubernatorial campaign four years ago it was ob- served that the Republican candidate came out of it without having been compelled even once to defend his per- sonal character. Amidst all the gibes that were cast at Judge Pennypacker and all the controversies over his po- litical status, his record as a man was proof against reproach. It is alto- gether certain that his successor as a gubernatorial candidate will this experience in the coming campaign. For the life of Edwin S. Stuart in Philadelphia from his boyhood has been so clear, clean, simple and open that it would be hard even for the adroitest of slanderers to fasten upon him the suspicion of an illicit or dis- reputable act. In his early manhood he framed for himself a code of up- right and honorable dealing in his business ambitions and in his daily relations to men; he had a sterling reputation for his-squareness and sin- cerity among those who knew him when he was only in his teens, and in the course of the more than 30 years of his comings and goings among the peo- ple, and largely in public life, none hag been able to note in him any essential deviation from the principles and the habits which marked him in the hum- ble beginnings of his career. The Man In the Making. “When as a lad he had hardly ceased doing chores in the old Leary book store at Fifth and Walnut streets, he was almost as big and strapping a fel- low physically as he is now. At 17 or 18 he had the frame and girth of a six-footer, the level-headed sense of judgment of a veteran in the book business when he would go to Thomas’ auction rooms on Fourth street, for example, to do the buying for his house, and an unusual facility, for a youth, of knowing how to hold his tongue and yet winning friends with perfect ease. It is sometimes the habit of those who criticise him to call him ‘over-discreet’ or ‘too non-committal. But this sort! of prudence is not a merely political trait or the result of political life. Caution is an instinct with him; it was natural to him when he was earning his $3 or $4 a week and carrying his coffee every morning from his downtown home to warm it up in the middle of the day at the Fallon shoe store, and when at night time the row of tall boards which encased the cheap stalls on the outside walls were fastened together, young Stuart was as careful to see that they were made quite as secure in protecting the 5 and 10-cent stock as he was that the rarest editions on the inside should be safe- guarded from theft or fire. And yet with all his circumspection in speech there wasn’t a more cheerful or more sunny-faced lad in the neighborhood. He worked all day long and frequently well into the night as if he never knew what it was to be tired, and although he was singularly free of the loose o1 hurtful habits which most lads contract in the growing age, no one thought of associating him with the idea of a milksop or a pretender. To everybody about Fifth and Walnut streets he was ‘Ed,” ‘Ned’ or ‘Eddie,’ and even then there was a sort of intuition among the denizens of the corner that he had the making of a somebody in him. “Mr. Stuart was at one time, when still young, a Sunday school teacher. Some years ago he told me how amused and pleased he was one day in finding among the books which came to his store on Ninth street a copy of a little Testament which contained the inscription that he had written on its fly-leaf in the early '70’s when he pre- sented it to one of his pupils. In his relations to his mother, who was of sturdy, religious stock, he was a sig- nal example of the loyalty and grati- tude of the son who honors the chief author of his being; he lived as much for her as for himself; the pride which she might find in his ambitions was not the least of his motives in court- ing public advancement, and when he had almost reached the mayoralty of his native city, the sorest blow of his life was that death should rob him of her in their little home on Tenth street, and that he should be cut off, on the eve of his triumph, from sharing it with her. Stuart had little schooling, except what he got in the Southwest repeat. Grammar school, ard the education which he gave himself was largely the result of what he read at Leary’s in spare moments, or in his winter even- ing hours at home. sometimes call ‘good mothers’ sons,’ and the moral stamina and Scotch- Irish sense in the man came to him through her, in a domestic atmosphere of frugality, thrift and those simple rirtues that are chastened by patient toil in the face of suffering or sorrow. A Character That Told. “It is to the character which was thus formed in Stuart that the offices and the honors which have been given him in Philadelphia are primarily due. His nomination for governor of Penn- sylvania, like his election to the presi- dency of the Young Republicans when, a quarter of a century ago it became a stepping-stone of his career, his elec- tion to selgat council, his election to the mayoralty, his election to the presi- dency of the Union League, his ap- pointment to the board of city trusts. and his appointment, which he de- clined, some months ago, to the re- constructed board of education, not to speak of the proffers which have been made to him at various times of other offices, have almost invariably been the outcome of respect for, or confi- dence in, his character. That the favor- able impression which a man of his unusually large and forceful physique makes upon the public mind enters to some extent into this disposition to recognize him is not to be doubted, for Stuart has an external appearance which ambitious men may envy. But this is a comparative trifie when com- pared with that sort of impression which ig made year in and year out, in little things as well as in big things, by sobriety, amd steadiness, and dig- nity yet simplicity of conduct, and im- munity from scandal, and square deal- ing, and charity of thought, and truth- fulness of speech. Thus there is not a division of the humblest citizens of the 26th ward in which the name of Edwin 8. Stuart is not trusted today as a household word, and often it has been known to be commended«by working- men as a model to their boys; om the other hand, there is not a member of the Union League who feels that its horor before the nation will ever be tarnished by any act of his while he is in its presidency. Nor is there any sem- blance of moral ostentation in his char- acter, none of that affectation or self- consciousness or preachiness which sometimes imparts a smugness or dis- agreeable stiffness to the intrinsic quality of a good man. The instinct of rational fellowship in him is strong; no other public man in Philadelphia probably has more friends or acquaint- ances to salute him when he comes down Chestnut street, and in his inter- course there is that abundance of heart- iness which comes from seemingly perfect health, a kindly disposition and the frankness of a clean nature. There is no discrimination in his con- duct, whether he meets a millionaire or a coal heaver, and there is no trace of a sign in his manner or his manners that the recognition which has come to him in securing some of the most coveted prizes of ambition has spoiled him in the sense of making him for- getful of his struggling days or of turn- ing his head. In fact, it would be hard to find among the noted characters of Philadelphia a man less suggestive of anything like vanity or self-approba- tion. Temperate in Word and Deed. “The chief weaknesses attributed to Stuart are want of positiveness, slow- ness in reaching conclusions, and ex- cess of amiability. They are the same weaknesses that McKinley's critics passed upon him up to the time he went into the presidency, and the Stu- art temperament is undoubtedly a kindred one to the ‘McKinley tempera: ment’ in both its personal and politi- cal aspect. In all his career in Phila- delphia I do not recall that he ever felt himself publicly moved to abuse a man or to speak harshly of one, however much he might condemn a vice or a wrong, and in his private conversation there is the same absti- nence from merely personal reproba- tion. He is a believer in the wisdom of thé motto that haste makes waste, but if he is slow to reach his con- clusions he sticks to them when he gets there. From his point of view a man in office is not so much the ieader of the people as he is the instrument of the people, and it is less bis busi- ness to form public opinion than to obey public opinion. The real test of the usefulness of a public man con- sists in the substantial and lasting betterment which he produces for his community, and yet there are in Phil- adelphia some men who with notable reptuations for being ‘positive’ could not stand that test and whose vigor of affirmation is sometimes hardly more than a windy, worthless ver- bosity. An Eventful Term. Stuart, when he became mayor of Philadelphia, made few promises, and, such as they were, they were simply and carefully ex- pressed. But the city and its material improvements advanced during the four years of his term; the average of the personnel of his administration in point of character and efficiency was creditable, and no responsible op- ponent, however bitter, ventured to advance even a suspicion dishonorable to its head. At all times he was ac- cessible to all citizens, and none whose complaint might be worth making ever suggested that he did not have an op- portunity for fair play and courteous hearing. The mayor, it is true, was always reluctant to make a pronaise, but when one was made it was kept. Politically the Combine of Martin and Porter flourished during his term, but there was comparative peace in the “Thus But he was em- | phatically a specimen of what we | pelitice of Philadelphia. Stuart meade the effort, but failed in it, of taking | the police out of politics. Indeed, at the start it looked as if his administration might be a wreck. His first director of public safety was | proved to have been a thief, but the mayor promptly got rid of him. The city treasury had been robbed right and left by Bardsley, but the mayor [lost mo time in getting his experts into the office and putting Bardsley | under arrest. The Queen Lane reser- voir was charged with being infected by the rankest jobbery, but the chief accuser broke down in a court of jus- tice and an equity suit was dismissed from consideration by the judges. When the first boulevard or parkway bill passed councils, largely at the in- stance of the Pennsylvania railroad, Stuart vetoed it, but he took the ground substantially that it was doubt- ful whether the city could afford ft, and that the majority of the people, ag was then true, were probably op- posed to it. This subjected him to criticism as a man who was not bold and progressive enough to lead in the making of a great municipal improve- ment, and the same kind of criticism was directed against him with much vigor by the Traction company or its spokesmen when he halted the origi- nay trolley bills, although there was no doubt that the majority of the peo- ple were against them also. But the outcome of Stuart's action was the most valuable concession the railway interests have ever made to the city. “This was the acceptance of the obli- gation to put asphalt improvements on the streets which they occupied and to maintain the pavements; and it has been chiefly under the operations and effects of that covenant in the past dozen years or more that Philadelphia became one of the best-paved cities in the United States. The reclamation of Broad street as a highway was another of his special policies, as was also the asphalting of small or comparatively obscure streets in the poor and con- gested quarters, so that neighborhood cleanliness and sanitation might be ad- vanced. But the foremost act of an administration which was fruitful of the well-distributed improvement that counts in detail, was the imitiation of the movement for abolishing the grade crossings on the main line of the Read- ing railway and the construction of the subway on Pennsylvania avenue. : Set a Standard. “The comparative rapidity with which Mayor Stuart and the late Edward M. Paxson, as the chief representative of the Reading, came into an agreement on a problem which was generally thought to be entirely beyond the reach of immediate solution, has been in striking contrast with the delay of years over the Ninth street crossings. Stuart managed his end of the case with admirable patience, tactfulness and persistence, without fussiness or the slightest effusion of promises; and when the undertaking, which began un- der his administration in co-operation with the company, was completed, there were not only no jobs charged against.it, but the expenditure was ac- tually less than the amount of money appropriated. “When he went out of the mayoralty it was with no general lessening of the personal respect which he had when he went into it, but which it had been the lot of most mayors, sometimes unde- servedly, to lose on making their exit. Stuart's experience in that respect, however, was like this—that there was a disposition all around among thought- ful men to put upon his head and not his heart the responsibility foy his er- rors of commission or of omission and to greet him as one who had done his part honestly and with clean hands. The citizens’ dinner which was given to him when he retired to private life was one of those appreciations which really mean something. Its guests were made up of men of all parties and various representatives of religion like Archbishop Ryan, Bishop Whitaker and the present Bishop McVickar; Charles Emory Smith performed his happiest offices as an orator, and John Wana maker likened the young mayor, 1 think—for he was then but 42 after his four-years’ term—to a sort of Dick Whittington, of Philadelphia. A Tribute to Worth. “As a matter of fact, Stuart formed an ambition for that office in the days when it was first occupied by Stokley and when he himself had not become a voter, and it is the only office, ex- cept his seat in councils years ago, that he has deliberately and openly planned to secure. The self-restraint which he has time and again exhib- ited in putting away from him the baits which politicians have cast in his direction has been marked. Thus it might have been possible for him to have made a dash for the gover- norship while he was mayor, when various plang to head off Hastings were on foot and when all the boot- lickers of politics who ever gather around a mayor were urging him to let his administration be set up in his be- half. But luart, with all his ami- ability, can tell a hawk from a hand- saw in politics as quickly as most of the experts, never lost an hour’s sleep over the affair, eventually put his foot on it quietly, and thereby removed from Hastings’ path the only formid- able obstruction that might have been set in his way. And now, in the full- ness of time, with a new political gen- eration coming into the field, and with Quay and half the other old lead- ers dead or nearly dead, the nomi- nation comes to him without the Ilift- ing of a finger on his part and with the expectation that it will meet the popular sentiment of the hour. “Whatever else it may or may not be, politically, it is personally at least a striking trib-te to the worth ef character.
