there has been a lack of efficiency in
some of the best known corporate or
CARNATIONS. There has been waste
of energy. There have been unwise
practices that have curtailed the earn
ing power of the corporations and i'm
paired the value of their services to
the people
Under a new era of publicity and
legislative restraint, the confessed evils
will be eradicated and better relations
be established between the railroads
and the people who contribute to the
two and one-half billions of revenues
of these railroads.
If it is the desire of any number of
these managers to "teach the people
a lesson" to threaten them with in
ferior service. to abandon certain ac-
commodations. to which the public has
become accustomed, to refuse to pay
taxes on the basis that other people
pay them, to exact from the govern
ment payment for services never rem
dered, some disturbance may result,
but this policy of intimidation cannot
now command the support of any large
number of responsible financiers.
The panic is passing, not coming.
The feeling of irritation will give way
to a more reasonable study Of recent
legislation, state and national, with
best results to all concerned.
This paraphrase may somewhat am
plify the statements of Mr.. Hartman
but they are reasonable deductions
from the interview and from the weekly
market reports and the monthly crop
reports of the time.

RARE PRESENCE OF MIND.

Gen. Funston at dinner in San
Francisco cited an example OF great
presence of mind.
"In the height Of the disorder
here" he said. "a MOI was looting a
big grocery when a band of soldiers
arrived on the scene. One thief had
seized two hams and was about to
make off with one under each arm
when he ran plump into an officer.
Placing the hams in the officers
arms, he said, peremptorily: Take
care of these, my man, or the first
thing you know they will be
stolen.'"

TOO BUSY TO NOTICE WALL
STREET.

In a reported interview with Mr.
Hartman he is credited with the state
ment that the country is too busy to
notice Wall street That there has
been Wall street panic, and the prices
OF Wall street stocks have tumbled
ever since congress met last December.
But this is merely a readjustment OF
values. 1t has not disturbed the
country seriously. 1t has made num-
Der of men in debt a little apprehensive
concerning the future, but that concern
has largely passed. As to the panic,
Mr.. Hartman says that it is not the
coming panic-it is the going panic.
The people of America never were
more generally employed, and never
employed in tasks more profitable to
the community at large. We are pro
ducing such crops as the world wants
in quantities never equalled until 1906
and scarcely passed in that now famous
year.
Under the influence of recent activ-
tiles there has been an undue expansion
of credit. The enterprising, energetic,
far-seeing Americans have been striv-
ing to anticipate the future and have
expanded their plans beyond the line of
caution. The reaction is a healthy re-
action. It's influence upon commerce
and upon finance and upon politics viii
be good. The basis of the American
currency is sound. The basis of Amer
lean industry is sound The productive
power of American people is unsur-
passed, and it is this power that sus-
tains their credit the world over.
What is needed of the owners of the
great organized properties of the coun-
try is an acceptance of the laws de-
fning the relations they must in the
future bear towards the government
and towards the people.
An era Of unrsstrained control OF
property having direct public inter
est and obligation has passed. The
laws will m re definitely restrain the
license heretofore exercised by the
great railroad managers, but this does
not indicate either confscation or ar
impairment of efficiency. The truth is
that the developments of the past
three or four years have shown that

A GREAT ENTAIL.

God has lent us the earth for our
life; it is a great entail. 1t belongs

BY Our Own Wire, Publishers Press.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-Failure of
the Inter- State Commerce Commission
to recommend prosecution against Har-
riman and his railway system, may
have misled some people, but not so
the Hartman lobby which has been
maintained here the past year. 1t was
more active today than usual, in en-
deavoring TO ascertain when, and not
whether prosecution will be begun.
Although Hartman is held respon-
sible in the report for the maintenance
of the combinations and other bad
practices, there is still a radical differ
ence of opinion in congressional circles
as to whether criminal prosecution can
be begun against him. This question
will be decided upon his appearance
on the witness stand in hearings be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
High officials believe that the viola
tion of the act of June ?, 1873, in
which the Central Pacific was gobbled
up can be legally fastened upon him.

Elimination of competition in trans
continental and oriental trade between
the Union and Southern Pacific.
Control indirectly of seven per cent.

stock ownership by the Union Pacific
and Rock Island and is manifestly a
competing line with the Rock Island.
That Hartman dominates the Illi-
nois Central; and that the joint control
by the Union Pacific and Rock Island
has undoubtedly eliminated com petition
between the Alton and Rock Island be-
tween Chicago, st. Louis and Kansas
City.
That officers or agents of the Union
Pacific, Central Pacific and Western
Pacific are guilty of a misdemeanor,
punishable by a fine of 81 900 and not
less than six months in prison for fail
ing to operate them as independent

first charge she was fined 81 and costs

Humane Agent Frank Stout started
to tell the court Of the bad reputation

the defendant had the same opportun-
ity as any other prisoner to have wit

not wish TO deprive the woman Of a
fair trial. but he thought a continuance
until next Wednesday, which was at
first suggested, was too long, as the
woman would have to remain in prison
with her infant child until that time.

dollar started out this morning on
this weeks missionary duty, leaving

Sunday, in the cash drawer of that
place. Mr.. Reed this morning spent
the dollar with J. r. Mullln & Son.

was taken in over the necktie and coll
lar department. and it was very gladly
accepted by the firm
Last week the dollar did not reach
the number Of merchants that 1t
should, in the course of a weeks busi-
ness, but this was owing to the fact
that those getting it looked upon the
thing as a curio, and held 1t as such
in their show windows The principal
idea that The Evening Journal had
when il sent out this little tagged mes
senger, was to give the little coin as
much circulation as possible. In order
to carry out this idea, II ought to
reach the hands of at least four or five
merchants a day. or even more. The
more the merrier, and the more inter-
est aroused by the visitation of the
dollar the more suggestive incidents
will naturally be resultant from the
larger number of houses that get the
dollar i'm the course Of their daily
business.
The Evening Journal can only ask
the merchants into whose possession
the coin may come to keep the thing
on the move, and not in the cash
drawer or the show window The little
dollar, with its tag. is not a special
species OF money; it is simply an Ordi-
nary silver dollar, but it's carrying a
mighty message to every business
