THE PRESIDENT vs. HARRIMAN

President Roosevelt has started ac
 tual war against the Hartman inter ests, which are generally recognized as the Rockefeller interests. The cx act nature of the battle is m invcsti gation being conducted by the Inter state Commerce Commission, and the bone of contention is the belief that the Hartman interests are seeking to com. binc tho southern Pacific and the Union Pacific for the sole purpose of restraint of trade. This is n subject that must be taken as of vital import ance by the citizens of the West and those having to do with Western in. vcstmcnts, because the two great rail. way systems named are in reality two of the greatest feeders of the entire Western region. More than that, a force that can combine the Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific, can eventually work into that combination every transcontincntnl line and it's tributaries, binding into submission n country that furnishes the mineral and agricultural wealth of the nation.
 Hartman, m his characteristic man. ner, has openly deled the President, and has started about to work the DO. litical downfall of the country's chief executive. There is no need belittling the railway magnate by saying that he will melt as snow before the sun in his opposition. He is backed by the wealth of the nation that wealth that does the most dastardly of all things seeks to control and practically does control the markets.
 President Roosevelt has undertaken task that must eventually drag into the fight many of the most prominent political factors, as they are, ire. specive of party, more or less inter. ested in tho ''vested rights" of America. The President has inter. preted the law and intends to stand by his convictions. Erratic maybe at times, and prone to interference iu

ONE WAY OF CUTTING
 DOWN THE DEATH LIST.

The two rcccn, horrible railway wrccks. one on the F. X O., near Wash ington, and one on the Rock Island, in Kansas, in each of which nearly % per sons lost their lives, were both marked by the tclcscoping of the coaches and the almost immediate burning of tho smashed ears.
 These are only two of perhaps twenty frightful wrecks m in last few years in which the same narrowing scenes we're presented people pinned in tele' scoped ears and burned to death.
 It is we'll known that the standard Pullmans arc rarely hurt in wrccks. scl' don derailed and almost never tclc srepcd.
 It is clear that fimsy construction of passenger coaches, especially the day coachcs and smokers. has been rcspon sibie for the killing and maiming of thousands of people. To substitute rigid, steel frame cars, built especially to resist the impact of collision, for the light wooden ears now used, would ccr tainly reduce the death rate in railway wrecks very considerably; perhaps a' much as fourfifths.
 Just as the number of casualties among trainmcn has been greatly re- duced by the enforced usc of the nil brake nnd standard coupler, just sc might the harvest of death among pas engcrs he reduced by enforcing tho nse of rigid. slow burning coaches.
 It will require tho expenditure of many millions by the railroads to bring abOnt this end, and of course they could not bc. expected to do it all at once But right now, law should be passed making it obligatory upon all interstat, railroads to provide the new ears, all equipment to he changed within tcr years.

NOT ROUNDED TO DEATH

Mr. George W. Perkins is of thc opinion that President Cassatt of the Pennsylvania Railroad company was "houndcd to death by iconoclasts. This is personal pointfof view. for which Mr. Perkins is responsible, a~ he was but recently acquitted of d- vorting insurance funds 'o political uses and is now under indictment for forgery because of acts committed ae director of inc New York Life In surancc company

It is this disposition to regard th' law as an impersonal matter; this law breaking for the benefit of corporations represented and not of the immrdiat, lawbreaker, that has caused all th' trouble of late years.

When General Lew Wallace went to New

found the history of the old building an
unending source of delight. The stories Of
plots, of murders, of executions Of battles
that had ragged about its stout walls. were
a constant source of inspiration, and he
strongly advocated that Washington
should not permit this building to pass
from national control. The post of COVER
nor left the general sufficient leisure to
write his now famous book, and he always
declared that the romance of his surround
iags did much to keep him in the right
mood for work of the kind.
Tie dry climate has saved the building
from the decay that is the portion OF old

comparatively slight repairs it will be pos
sibie to convert the palace into the safest
kind of a storehouse for the invaluable
