There is quite a bit of speculation
Just now as to whether E. H. Harri-
man will be a delegate to the Re-
publican national convention. He
was at the last one. you remember,
II voted for Roosevelt.
Now, the News cannot see why
there should be any doubt on the
matter at all. AS a practical man,
Hartman is bound to go. He needs
a few presidents in his business just
now, and if he doesn't go to the con-
vention how is he going to get these
needed articles. 1t is Harriman's
known ambition to run the railroad
business of the entire United States,
and, being practical he must have
learned that to do this i nthe face
Of presidential opposition is extrem-
y difficult. therefore. he will try
and see that there is no such opposi-
ton, and therefore he will go to
at least one national convention. 1t
would be handy for him if he could
so to both.
True, Hartman made one mistake
in choosing a president. But surely
Hartman will not be discouraged by
this one failure. He will call to
mind the little girls prayer. She had
bsen naughty, you see; and was toli
te! pray to be made good. That nigh

Burton j. Heudrick, whose arti-
&les on Great American Fortunes"
are known throughout the country,
contributes an article on Hughes to
the March McClures. This article
unveils an unusual personality and is
withal most entertaining reading.
Governor Hughes once remarked ia
%cetiously, apropCs of current stories
of his reserve and coldness, that he
hoped a ccrCner's autopsy would dis
over something in him besides saw
dust and useful Information. Mr..
Hendrick has happily forestalled the
orone and gives his readers a
glimpse CT the governor of New
York State.
Charles L. Hughes was the o of
a Welsh clergyman who reared him
in the nurture and adnlonition of the
Lord. AT an early age said the
father, II taught my son that a
atla ght line was the shortest dis
tanCe between two points, a lesson
he has had occasion to use in his
public career.
In 1854 Hughes passed the bar ex-
amiMations with a rating of SO Is
attracting the attention of Walter S
Carter, Il OF New Works most sue
cesSful lawyers. He became one of
est daughter.
1T is an interesting coincidence
that the Carter firms largest client
when Hughes entered the office, was
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, whose irregularities he after
wald 50 remoIselessly exposed. II
The main, however, its business, thel
and afterward, was not derived from
corporations. Hughes talents have
never been utilized to make million!
for large corporate interests tby
teaching them how to water stock
capitalize franchises, organize hold
ing companies, and originate thu
other devices W =. which the public
has been familiariZed in recent
years. On the other hand he ha:
preferred to show old-fashioned mer
chants how to draw agreements, en-
force contracts, and perform othe.
offices which are similarly essentla
to the maintenance of orderly bus
mess. According to his partner, G
W.. Sherman, general r%etainers, in
vclving his committen to any an,
every kind of service, were never &C
cepted by him. He has acted upol
the principle that independence o
both lawyer and client is essentia
to the ideal relation between them
Mr.. nendrick has gathered a va
riety of anecdotes, both interestin
and illuminating.

STOCK MEETING.

Preliminary arrangements for the
sixteenth annual stock meeting were
made by the Business Mems Club
this week and judging from the
names on the executive committee,
the meeting will bc equally as sood
as those of former years if not bet
ter than ever before. Conditions
are changed in many respects since
last years show, and some energetic
hustling and boosting IS all that is
needed to make the big doings ext
month a top-notcher for future gen.
erations to shoot az. The range has
been favored with an unusually
good winter season thus far, which
at this late date can hardly attain
to the severity of the frigid months,
freighted with snow and ice that
caused such havoc among live stock
last February and March. This fact
above all others should help in I'd
ding good cheer to the occasion. 1t is
up to everybody to get out and help
make the 1908 meet a big success.
Now, while working up a first-rate
stockmeeting, it would seem a first
rate plan to keep the county fair
feature in mind at the same time,
and get under way at an carly date,
plans looking toward the establish
ment Of an association to get behind
the idea and push it through to com
pletion. Other county seats are
busy along similar lines and Pen
nington County stands as much in
need of such an institution as any OF
them.

Seeing the Bright Side.

Some men are pitched to a minor
key. They probably do not realize
it, but there is a downward tendency
in their thought and conversation.
Everything is down-business poor,
prospects dark. They are always
seeing snags ahead. They see ten
denotes in American life which are
sure to undermine Il democracy
and end in revolution. Nothing is
as it used to be when they were
young. They cannot get any more
decent help. Everything is in a de-
plcrable condition.
1t is a most unfortunate thing to
get into such a mental habit.
know some of these people.
Their letters are always pessimistic.
They go through lire like a tornado
cloud, carrying blarxness and threat
ening disaster everywhere they go.
Everything depend upon the way
we lock at things. Near these cal
amity howlers we find people living
under practically the same condi-
tons, who see beauty and increas-
ing goodness, and an upward trend
in civilization everywhere.
What an untold blessing to form
early in life the optimistic habit of
seeing the best instead of the worst.
Think how much more those get
out OF life who are always coura-
geous, hopeful, always greatful for
every good thing that m to them
and who have a great faith in the
goodness of human nature and in
the honesty Of most people.

Wealth Untold.

Preliminary estimates of the val

to be somewhat too high. Instead Of
an aggregate of eight thousand mil
lions of dollars it is reported that
the country's great staple agricul-
tural products at probable market
prices may be valued at seven thous-
and five hundred millions. A rather
surprising statement is made by the
chief of the United States bureau of
Manufacturers to Il effect that he
years manufacturing productions
will aggregate twice the amount
credited. as above noted to agricul-
ture. Fifteen thousand millions of
dollars represent the value of the
manufacturing output for the fiscal

OF ordinary mortals, but the setting
forth of the facts may at least serve
