The Official Hartman Report.
The report of the interstate COM
merce commission concerning the fnan-
cial operations Of e. II. Hartman, which
has now been transmitted to the presj-
dent and published, urges legislation
to break up the great transportation
combination created by Hartman, ex
tending from the Atlantic coast Of
America to Asia and including two
virtually parallel railroad systems and
several steamship lines. 1t asserts
that If this railroad situation is per-
mitted to continue competition in the
transportation business must inevita-
bly, disappear and makes three distinct
recommendations:
First, a railroad should be confined
20 the business of transportation and
be barred from investing in securities
of other transportation companies, ex-
cept as these are feeders or provide
through routes.
Second, that 1t is contrary to public
policy and Illegal for railroads to con-
troll competing lines.
Third, that the issuance of securities
should be regulated.
1t is asserted that the various issues
Of stocks and bonds for Harriman's
operations have vastly enriched the
firm Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Special at.
tention is given to the Alton deal in
which Hartman is said to have in
jected So, 100000 Of water. The re-
port admits, however, that the Harri-
man policy has been one of steady
betterment for the various properties
brought under his control, large sums
being expended in carrying out Ell.
cheering works and keeping up equip
ment.
President Denies Fleet Order.
Besides giving to the public a formal
statement regarding the firm friend
ship and good understanding existing
between the United States and Japan
after the interview with Admiral va
mamoto, President Roosevelt author
lied the statement that at no time had
there been any order to the navy de-
partment to send the battleship feet
to the Pacific. He said that the
scheme was simply to find out in what
particulars our battleships may be de-
fective; that it was intended that
they should leave on Il cruise early in
the fall; that they might go 10 the Pa
cific, but that their destination had
not. yet been determined, and finally
that the plans for this maneuyer were
started before the discussion about the
Japanese SITUATION arose.
Japan has denied that the Japanese
citizens arrested for making sketches
at Fort Dosecraus, Cal, had any of
fetal connection with the home gov

THE ACTING GOVERNOR.

During the absence of GoNetnoI Little, says the Arkansas Gazette, Judge John Ike Moore, of Helena, is the acting governor of Arkansas, hav- ing succeeded to that position by vir- tue of the fact that he is president of the senate.
 Judge Moore has become governor through chance. but he did not be- come president of the senate through chance. He was chosen to that po- sition after a spirited race, and his se- lection gave the widest satisfaction. as was evidenced by the comments of tue public and of the state press. He is a politician in the best sense of the word-a man devoted to public af- fairs. The "rearin-tearin' element is conspicuous by it's absence from Judge Moore's makeup. Always con servatiye and dignitied, he never de- scends 10 demagogy, and the steadi- ness and equilibrium ofhis personality are reflected i'll the conservatism and liberalism of his politics. Ne feel sure the people of Arkansas will rest easy while he is in the governors chair

Advertising.

The purposes of store advertising, says an exchange, is not merely to sell goods. but to sell more goods and make friends, build up patronage that will not only stick bat grow. Newspapers reach the greatest num- Der of people in the immediate yicini- Y in the most natural way. at the least expense. and they are therefore the best of al mediums fer stores. h a newspaper you fellow the lines Of least re>istonce= =yoa follow with the stream you talk ta an audience al ready assembled to that portion of the public who want 10 read. Their mental cosmos Is right. They are on your wire, and they won't ring of if you hold their interest. Attraction is the basis of al advertising. The store is the sun, and the customers are the planets that revolve around it.

Eighth Anniversary. A

The anniversary entertainment o1 the Cosmos Club was celebrated at the residence of Mrs. ". II. Alley, Thursday afternoon, February l4, 1907.
 This club was organized in 1899 and since it's inception has stood for what is highest and best in the way of club life in this city.
 Mrs. Alley was assisted in enter taining by Mrs s. c. Neel, and Mrs. c. E. Davis, of Wynne, and the guests were made to realize from the first that There's Guide Time Coming, n and none seemed 10 bring with hc- "one care abroad" :"
 As every lady is supposed to be an authority on dress goods, they were all given an opportunity 10 test their knowledge of this subject by ques- tions, the answer to owhich was a kind of cloth. Mrs. W. T. Sanders dis played the greatest familiarity with the different textures. and was award ed piece of cloth, a dainty dresser scarf.
 Pictures of French char acters were then exhibited and the guests were permitted to guess at the identity of Marie Antoinette, Louis ", Vol taire, Hugo, Josephine, Napoleon and others-eighteen characters in all Several had the correct answers rO all and in draw, Mrs Matthews was the fortunate one, and picture of Joan of Arc was given.
 Dainty refreshments consisting of a salad course and coffee were served.

THE STATES FINANCIAL CON.
 OPTION

Under resolution offered by NIT. kiliough, says the Arkansas Gazette. a committee on finance, consisting of nine members, will report to the house after an investigation, the ex- act financial condition of the state. MT. killough said one branch of the government had said the state is fac ing deficit, while another branch had denied this. He wanted to find just what the condition of the states finances was w.l2; thc iast admins tration went out of office, so the pres ent governor might get square deal.
 There should not be any necessity for an investigation of this kind, but there Is such a necessity and for the sole reason that Governor Davis mis- led the people into believing that the state has in the treasury millions of dollars "in cash or convertible securi- ties that are not needed. The facts are that if expenditures during the first s.E months are about the same a. for the corresponding six months of the last preceding legislative year, 1905, there will be deficit in the general revenue fund Of sl00, 00e on July l. But the people will probably not be satisfied until the legislature says officially after an investigation just what the condition of the treas ury is

but that not less than twenty bridges

that by building a road In another
