Whether the exigencies OF the
Presidential campaign will require
President Roosevelt or Mr.. Taft to
cali on Mr.. Hartman for financial
aid Is not yet known. 1t is certain.
however, that my dear Hartman"
was never more able to furnish the
Doodle than now. He Is the undis-
puted railroad king. He controls
45,151 miles OF the railroads OF the
country and is just about to gobble
the Eastern Gould roads, which will
give the railroads he controls another
entry to Pittsburg and Baltimore, and
mas his hands on others. The capital
stocks OF the railroads he now domi-
mates amount to the enormous sum
of 1857, 5509O0.0O, with an issue
Of s1,Ss5910, $4,000 in bonds. 1t fol-
lows that all competition between
these Hartman railroads is obliterat
ed. and the people who reside on them
and the merchants who do business
over them will have to pay "all the
traffic will bear"
Is it good public policy to allow
this railroad magnate to combine
competing railroads at his pleasure?
President Roosevelt has been hand
and glove with Mr.. Hartman. who
is an ardent Republican. and the evil
dence Of the ardor OF Mr. Hartman
for Republican success has been dis
closed by letters that have been pub
lished and the fact that at the re
quest OF President Roosevelt Mr..
Hartman raised 100000 in the last
days Of the campaign of 1904. That
money Mr.. Hartman declared was
used to buy the voters OF the State
OF New York, and did have, he said,
the effect Of inducing $4,000 OF them
to vote the Republican ticket and
save the G. o. p. from defeat.
That transaction was great blot
on the reputation OF President Roose-
welt, almost as much as the collection
for Republican campaign purposes OF
the trust funds of the life insurance
companies was, that should have
be'm sacred to the widows and
orphans. for Mr.. Roosevelt was the
direct beneficiary OF the use OF this
political corruption.
If President Roosevelt was really
intent that such amalefactors OF
great wealth" as Mr.. Hartman should
be controlled or limited in plundering
the people through excessive railroad
rates and manipulation Of the enorm.
Gus surplus funds OF the corporations
he controls, would he have been in
political partnership with Mr. Harri.
man? II MIR. Roosevelt was really
sincere in Graduating the influence
OF such malefactors of great wealth
as Mr., Hartman in the Republican
party. would he not be urging the
proper Federal officials to prevent the
further combination of railroads under
the domination Of one man?
When Mr.. Hartman was a delegate
to the Republican National Conven.
ton in 1904 be was no better than
he is today, but the Republican party
mas allowed him TO become much
more powerful Those voters who be.
lieve that corporations should be con.
trolled can hardly expect reasonable
regulation as long as the chief manip.
ulator Is all powerful in Republican
councils.

NEWEST EAST RIVER BRIDGE.

twenty-five years ago, says Geo. E.
Mayo In American Industries for
August, the first Brooklyn bridge gave
the engineers earliest answer TO the
trafic problem to which the ferries
were no longer adequate and became
one OF the modern wonders OF the
world. To-day there are four bridges
built OF building. each Of the new ones
far surprising in size and capacity
that pioneer structure, and there is.
besides, the tunnel under the East
River which was opened to the pub
lie early this year. OF the bridges,
the newest and the greatest in traffic
capacity is the Manhattan bridge,
which after years OF delay over the
plans is now being hurried to COM
pletion to help take the pressure on
the existing avenues OF travel.
The Manhattan structure stands as
the latest and most advanced embodi-
ment OF the suspension bridge, while
as trafic channel It possesses, or
win possess when completed. the
greatest capacity of any bridge yet
built. That is the main purpose for
which Il has been designed: to allow
the passage OF as many cars. vehicles
and foot passengers as engineering
skill can make room for within the
limits OF the approved design.
In total length over all, including
approaches, from Canal street in Man
haitian to Nassau street in Brooklyn
the Manhattan bridge measures 6.S55
feet approximately one and Eve
sixteenths miles) as against the 1900
feet OF the Williamsburg bridge. It's
main span is 1,45O feet long and the
two side spans are each 7z5 feet. The
total length OF the spans is thus 1900
feet. The main span Of the Williams
burg bridge Is 1900 feet, the longest
suspension span In the world. and that
OF the old Brooklyn bridge is 1896
feet. ~
The Manhattan cables are slune
from steel towers which stand l25
feet in height above the mean high
water level OF the East River, ninety
feet higher than the WILLIAMSBURG
towers. They contain, together. 12.5OC
tons OF steel. The steel construction
begins at a point S2 feet above water
level. Below that the masonry foun.

feet below the river surface. II not
