Hartman Clears Millions.
New York, Aug. 1S-While Wall
street was in tumult of speculation
yesterday with Edward H. Hartman
the leading figure, Mr.. Hartman is
said to have cleared s10.O00,00o and
the bears lost 100000. The shrewd-
est judges of the movements of great
financiers did not know just what the
events of the day meant, but in more
than one quarter one heard the COM
ment Jay Gould has been eclipsed.'
The specific cause of riotous buying
of securities, with advances in Union
Pacific from 1853 to 1874, the highest
price on record, and in Southern Pa
cific from S3 to SO. also high record
price, was the announcement by the
executive committees of the two Har,
riman roads of semi-annual dividends
of per cent and 21s per cent respec'
lively on the common stocks of the two
companies. The declaration on South
ern Pacific is the first in history.
Did Not Dream Of Plan.
Although Wall street expected q
great melon-cutting by Hartman
nothing of this kind has been dreamed
For instance, the placing OF Union Pa
cific on 10 per cent yearly basis puts
it ahead of any Of the other great west
ern roads.
The action of the market itself was
readily understood, for it was simply q
stampede of bears who had sold stock
they did not possess and found it com
pulsory to buy back in the open mar
ket at whatever price it was necessar,
to pay But the motive back of Harri
mans action was the thing of mystery
This is especially true in the light o
several events In finance In the las
few months.

AS TO FAKE LETTERS.

Col. Conway has not been editor
of the Times long enough probably to
know that his criticism Of this paper
for publishing a communication from
Barrackytlle on yesterday, which
crossed his political path at several
places, comes with very bad grace
even were the allegations made by the
Col. ever so true. Whether the Col.
knows 1t or not we thought that every
body knew of the many columns Of
fake political letters the Times was
writing itself from "EIkins," "Graf-
tom! Piedmont and other places where
great gobs of imagination are palmed
OF for dissatisfaction with the State
administration, etc. One from Elkins
the other day was handed out fiaunt-
ing the headlines Gov. Dawson and
Hubbard want Senator Elkins' and
SCOTS Shoes" yellow Journalism"
is what Mr.. Conway calls the publi-
cation of a letter from a citizen. II
our publication is to be termed 'yel-
low" would not the political fake let
ters the Times writes to itself be a
golden yelIow?'
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1906-09-21

Wonder If Col. Conaway was work,
ing in his legal capacity when he was
urging that prominent Democrat,
whom we mentioned yesterday, to vote
the Republican ticket? He was in
the employ of the South Penn Co.
then and perhaps the company hired
him to do it. Better OWE up to it, col
9nel. and be frank with the people and
say why you proved a Judas Iscariot,
though you got more out Of it than
Judas did, as his was only thirty
pieces OF silver while the Republican
committee remembers paying you at
least fifty.

Therefore, many Of the

taxed. Therefore, many Of the
wealthy people are willing to pay
their increased taxes cheerfully, know
ing that they are doing nothing more
than they ought to do. Some m may
ask how the taxes Of ninety per cent.
Of the people can be lowered and yet
more money be raised. One answer
is found in the increased valuation of
coal, oil lands, railroads and other
public service corporations. Another
is that a new method has been en-
ployed for raising revenue to support
the State government, whereby the
State tax rate has been lowered from
81 cents to Sh cents on the hundred
dollars. When the people begin to
get their postal cards showing the ac-
tual saving to them in dollars and
cents by the new tax laws. the hot
air Of the anti.tax reform bellows
blowers will vanish into ethereal thin
ness and gradually become the mere
shadow of a vapory nothingness. Re-
suits are what the people want and
that Is what the new tax laws viii
bring. The people know a good thing
when they see it and once they have
1t they will vote to keep it.

The question is, viii Col. Conway
tell the people the truth about the
new property books when he does find
them? Will he show that the taxes
of the people at large will be lower
than ever before? Sof course he will
not. He is simply trying to eyade
the chief issue, that of lower tax bills,
by kicking up the dust on the wrong
road. He can't throw us OFF the scent
that way. Oh, no, colonel, that won't
work, you will have to try something
else. May be the South Penn Oil Com
