big railroad men to see the advantage
of publicity making. He did not per-
ceive it all by himself, 1t was shown
to him by one of the most expert man.
ufacturers of publicity in the country.
This man is in the employ of the Gov
ernment-not as press agent. but as
a sort of ameliorstor of public opinion.
He was called to Harriman's attention
by another Government official with
whom Hartman is intimate.
This man told. Hartman that the
public be damned policy was played
out. Hartman said he didn't know any
other policy He said he>was more than
willing to cuddle up to the public. but
he didn't know how. He was afraid of
reporters. he said. because they had al
ways misrepresented him. He was
afraid. If he began to talk. that the
newspapers would twist his language
into grotesque shapes and lead the
public to regard him as a chump. No
New York paper. he said, had ever
given him a square deal.
Come over to Washington" said the
Government publicity expert. spend
a few days in Washington sightseeing
and let the correspondents know you
will talk. Then talk to them with alb
solute freedom. and tell them what you
don't want printed. Give up all you've
got. Don't try to fool them with
crumbs, but unburden yourself to the
limit They will be square with you.
MAGNATE UNBURDENs HIMSELF
Hartman thought it over. He was
under the belaboring of the big stick,
with the Legislatures jumping upon the
railroads In all directions and the In
terstate Commerce Commission wiring
ing damaging admissions from him.
There was lots of publicity, but it was
all against him. Finally he thought
he would try to get some of his own.
He came to Washington, told his sec
retary to send out the tip to the cor
respondents and then set his jaw and
waited.
Before night Harriman's rooms were
crowded with newspaper men from
every corner of the United States. He
was aghast He actually turned pale
as they fired questions at him which
pierced into the very. vitals of the rail-
roads. But he stood by his guns. an

For two days this continued. Har-

that he could easily deceive doctors
into a belief OF his sanity. especially if
these doctors were friendly disposed
toward the Thaw family.
Meanwhile. his life at Matteayan
would not be as horrifying as be might
imagine. All reports say that life in
that institution is made tolerabIe. if
not actually comfortable. by the use of
money. Indeed. a man OF wealth may
have many luxuries at his disposal. 1t

Around the institution are vast
grounds well kept and abounding in

the top Of the asylum there is a pano-
ramis view of sister hills sweeping
away in all directions, that blink in the

silence is broken only by the half hour
strokes of the monotonous asylum
clock. This viii be Harry Thaw's first
impression Of Matteawan if he enters
that institution.
The ordinary inmate may occupy
himself with some light manual occu-
patton. II he so desires. but work is not
compulsory. He may rest or he may
exercise. as he pleases. But the routine
is ar best monotonous. IF Thaw should
enter the Institution. and should not
grow dangerous or unmanag geabfe. he
would probably be allowed considerable
latitude. Wealthy inmates are allowed

from the outside: or he may be allowed
to have his own chef. He would be

except Sunday. for two hours. He
would be permitted to read his own
books and write as many letters as he
wished.
But he would be compelled to wear
the regulation clothing. This would be
the hardest TO bear. for Thaw has been
used to wearing suits tailored in Lon
don. Entertainments are given period
ically at Matteawan, and Thaw, if he
chose. might be entertained occasion
ally by professionals.

soon he became somewhat inflated and
told his visitors that he thought he
was doing famously with the news

HARTMAN IN A wHIRL
: To his confidential governmental
friend Hartman said:
Il tell you I never had so much fun.
although 1 feel sore all over. Those
fellows have raked me. and poured
shot at me from all sides, and asked
impudent and startling Questions until
have been in whirl. but they have
treated me mighty we'll. Look at that
stack of papers. They are full of
publicity. 1 guess Roosevelt isn't get
ting il all his own way, eh?"
But. Harriman's eshrewd plan to start
a little publicity plant of his own in
competitions with the enormous White
House establishment did not succeed
very well because his attack of frank
ness soon subsidized. He did the best
he could. but he could not overcome
the lifelong habit of trying to keep
things dark. The newspaper men
asked him questions on the third day
out, and Hartman found himself
lodging and taking refuge in old sub
terfuges. He offered statistics and
official statements instead of frank an
swers to plain questions. He side
stepped matters which the public had
to forget little Inatters like the reor-
ganization of the Chicago and Alton
Railroad. The correspondents saw that
his old affiiction had returned with
added virulence. and they declined to
send out evasions in place of square
toed positive statements.
WORSE OFF THAN EVER
Hartman did very we'll so long as
his squirt of frankness lasted He made
gains in public favor. But the strain
was too much for him. and he failed
just as he was getting into position
to. say something worth while. If he
had been built on the. statesman plan
he could have won immense renown by

But he was not disposed that way.
So whatever good he accomplished
was rubbed out. and he now stands be-
fore the public in worse light than
before. The correspondents did not
impose on him. they knew what ter
rible struggle he was having, but the
editors made fun of Harriman's first
plunge into publicity. The paragraph
ers are not through with him yet

PRESS AGENTS NEEDED
There are parts of the Government
in close touch with the press. where
the employment of experienced press
agents would do more good than harm.
The Agricultural Department, for in
stance. grinds out an immense lot OF
STUFF through its division publications.
and. in addition to pamphlets for gen.
eral circulation. II issues press bull
letins. The work is well done but
it is usually too voluminous and tech
nical for newspaper use If Congress
would give Farmer Jim wilson good,
lively press agent the department
would be able to get out a lot OF
valuable information hot OF the
griddle. to the edihcation OF the farm
ers and the vindication of the depart
ment's excuse for. existence.
The Interior Department is another
place where a press agent is needed
Secretary Hitchcock was admired by
all the press agents for his stiff -necked
honesty, but he was tight old codger
in a news way. and often missed
chance to set the public right. So
his enemies made a large portion OF
the people believe that he was wrong.
or addicted to red tape. or an old
fogy. Only the exercise of great
abilities and Spartan honesty saved
hitchcock. A less able man. equally
honest, would have failed through
this policy of secrecy, which naturally
leads to misapprehension and con-
demnation.
There are other places where press
agents might be of great service in
setting forth the real objects and
operations of the Government. But
the administration as whole can get
along nicely as long as President
Roosevelt and his accomplished Sec
retary. Loeb. attend personally to tho
delicate task of keeping the public
correctly and fully informed on All
really important matters.
