OLD RAILROAD
FEUD WAS
SETTLED
Gould and Hartman Patch
Up Troubles Before Former
Sails For Europe.

New York, June 15.-The Sun says:
In railroad circles the statement is
very positively made that the differ
ences between the Gould roads and
the Trunk lines OF the east and the
Gould roads and Hartman and other
Pacific lines in the west have AMIGA
bly, adjusted.
According to the terms of the
agreement, as generally understood.
Gould Is to retain possession of all
his properties west of Pittsburg,
whether in the hands of the receivers
or not, he is to complete work on the
Western Pacific and operate it under
a sort of gentleman's agreement, with
Hartman and the other western lines
He Is also to reorganize without oppo-
sition from other railroads the Gould
lines west of Pittsburg.
But while he has crossed the Sierra
with the Western Pacific he may not
cross the Alleghanies and connect the
Wabash system with the Western
Maryland road. The Gould interests
In Western Maryland are TO be pro-
t"cted, whether the road is reOrgan-
lied independently as a Gould road,
but tnat road may not be linked with
others by any new construction. and
the vision of a transcontinental Gould
system will not again appear as long
as the agreement holds.
Albuquerque citizen., 1908-06-15

than his own. First OF all he Is an
altruist. and then a fighter.
A Combative Altruist.
This combative altruism is Mr..
Taft's most distinguishing character
istic. AS secretary of war he has
earned the worldwide sobriquet of
secretary of peace" He has fought
some hard battles but they were with
bloodless weapons, and the results
We're victories for peace. The greater
the degree of altruism the keener was
his zeal, the harder and more per-
sistent his battle. The greatest strug-
gle of his career, in which he disre-
garded utterly his settled ambition,
and cheerfully faced a continuing and
serious menace to life ITSELF was on
behalf of the weakest and most help
less object in whose cause he was
ever enlisted-the Filipino people.
That was the purest and loftiest altru-
ism.
But although this is the dominant
trait of Mr.. Taft. he is well known
for other qualities. His judicial tenn
permanent, founded upon a deep seat
ed, comprehensive and ever alert
sense of right and wrong; his courage,
proved by repeated ana strenuous
tests; his calm. imperlurable judg-
ment, and his all-embracing sympathy
are characteristics that have been
often and widely noted. They are his
by right of inheritance from genera
tions of broad-minded upright men
and women. The development of his
country has extended the range of his
opportunity and given greater scope
TO his activities than was enjoyed by
Alphonso Taft, his father, or Peter
Rawson Taft, his grandfather, but in
character and Intellect he is their true
descendant.
The American people know Mr..
Taft as a man of peryasive good hu-
NOR, always ready with a hearty
laugh and quick to see fun in any sit
uatiOn. His other side has not often
appeared, but he is capable of tree
meudous wrath. Nothing arouses II
more quickly than unfaithfulneSs TO
a trust or an exhibition of deceit. In
justice in any form stIrs him to the
bottom instantly. He has a broad,
keen, quick, all-embracing sympathy,
always ready TO respond to any call.
His sense of justice Is wonderfully
quick-springing and alert. And he
has a genuine fondness for work,
which enables him to derive real
pleasure from his tasH. These quail
fiCdtiOns are the endowment of an
unusually gifted man. The people
know, because they have seen, his
ability 10 turn off an enormous
amount Of work. They have seen him
Albuquerque citizen., 1908-06-15

GeorgeJ. Gould had a long inter-
view with e II, Hartman as a result
of which, it is believed, the finishing
touches were put on the agreement
In both west and east. 1t is said Har-
riman very likely was persuaded into
an agreement with the Gould roads in
the west by the abandonment of the
Gould Trunk Line proposition in the
east, for the Gould scheme contem-
plated direct competition with the
Baltimore and Ohio, which the Union
Pacific controls. Whatever is lost TO
the Union Pacific through the agree
ment with the new Western Pacific
will be more than made good by un-
disturbed occupancy of its territory
by the Baltimore and Ohio
Referring to the troubles of the
Wheeling and Lake Erie and the Wa
bash PittsOurg terminal, Gould said
just before he sailed for Europe:
THE receivership for the Wheeling
and Lake Erie was inevitable, and
the Wabash-Pittsburg terminal had
defaulted. The Wabash-Pittsburg
company was, unfortunately, over
capitalized We probably could have
carried II through, but | thought IL
was time to stop on behalf of the Wa
bash. The Wabash Is fine property,
with great earning powers, and 1t will
not be permitted to become further
involved"
Asked II he had abandoned any
part Of his transcontinental railroad
idea, Gould said: Every youngster
has to have the measels and the
WhOOpiug cough and I dnn't knnw
that they are any worse afterward."
Gould said the Wheeling and Lake
Erie receiyership arked the end of
the readjustments that were necessary
TO be made to his properties.

Blazing the Philippine Trail


Since the settlement of the recon
struction questions no more delicate
or fateful problem has confronted
American Statesmanship than that of
he Philippines. The sudden pitching
# over-sea territory into our posses
sion as a result OF the war with Spain
created a situation not only uneXpect-
ed but entirely without precedenD,
There was no guide for our statesmen.
The path had to be hewed out new
from the beginning. There was no
crystalizaton of opinion among the
American people as t. what should
be done with the Philippines. 4 con-
siderable element was vigorously OPP
posed to retaining them, but the vast
majority demanded the maintenance
Of American sovereignty there. Among
these, at first, the desire was un-
doubtedly due TO the glamour of ag-
grandizement. The possibility Of
wealth somewhere beyond the skyline
always catches the Imagination, and
there can be no question that the
great mass OF the people moved,
without serious thought of the con-
sequences, toward American exploita-
ton OF the islands.
Not many Americans nave ever
comprehended thoroughly he size Of
Mr.. Taft's undertaking, ar the full
meaning of his achievement Through
d bungle in our first dealings with
Aguinaldo and the FiIipinos the en-
tire native population Of the islands
had come to believe, with some rea-
son, that the Americans We're their
enemies and had betrayed them. Mr
Taft arrived in Manila to find a peo-
pie Sbdued by force OF arms but
unanimously hostile sullen and suspi-
cious. They were still struggling, with
the bitterness Of despair, against the
power in which they all saw only The
hand OF the oppressor.
