Railroads and Govern
ment Should Do So.
SAYS HARTMAN.
lie Says the Policy of the Railroad
Managers in the Past was
a Mistaken One.

New York; am ready to make
the advancement of a scheme of
cooperation between the government
and the railways my chief interest, ,
said E. II. Hartman, president of the
Union Pacific railroad, On returning
Thursday from Washington. I'VE men
at the head of great corporations are
coming to a better understanding of
what the government expects of Hs, "
he continued.
Mr.. Hartman declined to talk about
the report that he had secured control
Of the Reading railroad. Speaking of
agitation against corporate wealth he
said:
"They-we-all of us, ought to have
considered the possible effects of this
agitation before it was begun, or be-
fore conditions that made its growth
possible were allowed to continue. IL
we had all met on common ground and
co-operated for our mutual benefit, no.
body would be worrying over the stu
alton as it is to-day.
I'VE all made a mistake in this.
realize the mistake, and | am of the
opinion that the administration at
Washington is beginning to realize
that it has been little too radical in
its attitude toward the railroads.
Henceforth | look to see it's opposition
take on more of the spirit of cooper
alton. | believe the railways can eX-
pect to receive more even-handed jus.
tice
Railroad managers have, | am will
ing to adrait, in the past neglected to
build up strong, harmonious relation
ship between themselves and with the
government and the public. This mat
ter had been left to subordinate Off
GERS, and the result has been that such
relations have been completely neg
lected. Now we must take the matter
in our own hands in order to bring
about a better understanding and co.
operation.
Our policy in the past has been a
mistaken one, but it cannot be said
that we have neglected our service to
the public. When one considers what
the railroads have done to develop
this nation, we cannot believe that
the railroads have been anything but
beneficial to the nation. The marvel.
Gus development of the country has
been due in very large degree to the
enterprise of its railroads.

PREPARE THIS YOURSELF.
Tells How to Make the Best Blood
Tonic at Home.

For those who have any form of
blood disorders; who want new, rich
blood and plenty of it. try this:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three
ounces.
Shake well in bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime. Any good pharmacy can
supply the ingredients at small cost.
This is the prescription which, when
made up, is called "The Vegetable
Treatment" by others, the Cyclone
Blood Purifier" 1t acts gently and
certainly does wonders for some peo-
pie who are sickly, weak and out of
sorts, and is known to relieve serious,
long-standing cases of rheumatism
and chronic backache quickly.
Make some up and try 1t.

ENDED ABRUPTLY.
A Test Case Involving Alleged Viola
ton of immigration Laws by Cot
ton Mill Owners.

Greensboro, n. C.-The trial of
the test case against the Char
lotte mill men who were sued by the
government for ST., 600 in penalties
for alleged violations of the immigra
ton laws, ended rather abruptly in the
United States circuit court last even
ing when upon the motion of counsel
for the government the jury was in
structed TO bring in verdict in favor
of the defendants. This carries all the
suits against the defendants off the
docket and nolle PROSE- was taken
In the criminal case charging them
with conspiracy. The defendants
were: Edward A. Smith, president of
three cotton mills at Charlotte; Sum-
ner b. Sargent, manager of the ID. A
Tompkins Co.; E. G. Dwelle, secretary
of the mills of which Mr.. Smith is
president, and Thomas M. Costello, i'm
migration agent. The latter could not
be found after the cases were insti-
tuted.
1t was alleged in the complaints that
the cotton mill owners employed Cos
tello to go to England to hire labor for
their mills and that in pursuance of
this agreement Costello went and Sc
cured the consent of the aliens to
come to America. 1t was also alleged
that Costello prepaid their passage
and gave them show money. There
We're II of the aliens who came to
America to work in the mills in and
around Charlotte.
The defendants offered as a defense
that Costello exceeded his authority
as agent and Judge Boyd held that the
government must show that the de-
PENDANTS shared in the unlawful pur-
pose with Costello. The defendants
also contended that as there was no
skilled labor of like kind unemploy-
ed in this country they were not amen
able to the law.

coffee drinking and by changing from
coffee to Postum.
2. Give name and account of one or
more coffee drinkers who have been
hurt by it and have been induced -
quit and use Postum.
8. Do you know any one who has
been driven away from Postum be-
cause it came to the table weak and
characterless at the first trial?
4. Did you set such a person right
regarding the easy way to make it
clear, black, and with snappy, rich
taste?
5. Have you ever found better
way to make it than to use four heap
ing teaspoonfuls to the pint of water,
begins, and beginning at that time
when actual boiling starts, boil full Is
minutes more to extract the flavor and
food value. CA piece of butter the size

This contest is confined to those who
have used Postum prior to the date

poetry or fanciful letters, just plain,
truthful statements.
Contest will close June 1st, 1907, and
no letters received after that date will
be admitted. Examinations of letters
will be made by three judges, not
members of the Postum Cereal Co,
Ltd. Their decisions will be fair and

evidence of such friendship, while the
little boxes of gold and envelopes of
money will reach many modest writer's
whose plain and sensible letters con-
tain the facts desired, although the
sender may have but small faith in
winning at the time of writing.
Talk this subject over with your
friends and see how many among you
can win prizes. 1t is good, honest
competition and in the best kind of
cause, and costs the competitors abso-
lutcly nothing.

PENMANSHIP A FINE ART.
Typewriting Has Not Driven Hand
Work from the Field.

There is renaissance in penman-
ship, despite the speedy comforts of
the typewriters. Ten years ago it prob
ably would not have occurred to any
one to show a page of manuscript at
any exhibition; today pages or books
of script form feature of every show
which takes to Itself the name Of arts
and crafts. Some of the work is in
Roman capitals, but the form Of letter
usually adopted is the unciel or half
unciel. Apparently all the writer's
have founded themselves in these
models. Within these last few years
not only has the art attracted a good
deal Of attention, but it has become
quite the rage, so that in some circles
it creates no more surprise now to
learn that an amateur is taking les
sons in script than it would have done
some years back to be told that he or
she had taken to poker work. From
one viewpoint it is difficult to say
where writing ends and illustration
begins, but though in the recent re-
vival the two arts naturally have gone
hand in hand, the scribe and the illum-
inator are not necessarily one and the
same person. Some of the illumina
tions show most elaborate and minute
figure decoration, so delicate in color
ing and so refined in treatment that
1t challenges comparison with the best
