and Their crowd bought Baltimore and
Ohio, Illinois Central, Pennsylvania
and Reading, and then unloaded them
on poor old Union Pacific. That de-
voted road had TO saddle ell these
stocks at top prices poor q. ?.
The public wouldn't have bought 100
shares at the prices that u. P had 20
take in thousands and thousands OF

But then, Hartman and his gang
declared big dividends on sU these
stocks. and the trusting public came
in. And at the same time tbs bonds
of these lines were going begging. So
made up my mind hardly over three
months ago, to sell everything short
in the face Of tho greatest prosperity
this country ever had.
''They laughed at me all

TINE TO GET TOGETHER.

With the presidential campaign
not quite n year off there seems no
disposition on the part OF the Demo-
cratic party to center on a candidate
for that high office, and strange a. it
may appear, there is no avowed as
pirant in the field for the honor IN
less MIR. Vim. ]. Bryan may be look
ed upon as such. They may come to
the surface later, but from present
indications Bryan is going to be al
lowed to have a walkover and secure
a third nomination 10y default. II
such is the case then the old party is
in bad way, to say nothing of tray
cling the straight road to defeat.
Mr.. Bryan had won the confidence of
the people during the interim between
the last presidential election and his
celebrated Madison Square Garden
speech and the chances were that.
had that speech remained unspoken.
he would have been triumphantlv
elected to succeed Mr. Roosevelt.
but alas for him and his party, such
was not the case. His views as ex-
pressed in that government owner
ship speech, followed by additional
views on initiative and referendum.
have played havoc within the Demo-
cratic party, dividing it as badly a.
the money question itself. There is
a growing sentiment, however, point
ing to the side-tracking OF Mr.. Bryan
in favor of some man whose views
are not so at odds with what has
been established Democratic policy
for years, and the only thing that
now seems necessary to center ON
some real Democrat is for the party
leaders to get together" John
Sharp Williams advises this and his
advice is always worth considering.

HARTMAN

The Hartman report. prepared
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, which has been looked upon as
the first step in the prosecution OF
Edward II. Hartman. the railroad
king, has just been made public. but
it contains no hint of arecommendn-
tion to prosecute Mr.. Hartman
Certain recommendation are made
by the commission which, if put into
practice, might possibly have the ef-
feet of preventing Mr. Hartman and
Others from repeating his fleeing
operations, but the most that can be
said of the report is that it gives the
public some slight insight into the
vast power Mr.. Hartman possesses.
For example, it developes that Mr..
Hartman may journey from New
York to New Orleans. thence bv rail
TO San Francisco, across the Pacific
Ocean to China, and returning bv
another route TO the United States
may go TO Ogden by one OF the three
rail lines, and thence TO Kansas CITY
or Omaha without leaving the deck
or platform of carrier which hecon-
trolls, and without duplicating any
part of his journey. This fact is suf-
hcient of itself to show that Mr.. Har-
riman has crushed out every particle
oil competition wherever his lines
have been built, and there is ample
evidence in addition to show that he
has manipulated railroad stocks to
his own advantage time after time
regardless of the rights of Others.
Nevertheless, the chances of his pros
ecution are slim indeed. About the
only effect the commission report
will have, as far as at present ap-
pears, is to hold Mr.. Hartman up as
something whose power is TO be
marveled at by gaping populace.
