"MAKEs BETTER RAILROADS"
Western Writer Pays Tribute to
Railroad Magnate as Builder-up
Of the Country.

Mr.. Edward II. Hartman Is on q
trip to Europe. Ordinarily there
would need be nothing added to this
announcement beyond an exhortation
to Emperor William to chain down his
railroads and to other monarchs to
put their crowns and other valuables
in the safe at night. But Mr.. Harri-
man is going off on pleasure trip,
and so many mean things have been
said about him that it will not hurt
any to change the tune a moment
while he is out of the country and
not able to take any advantage Of
the lapse from the cold attitude of Sc
verify that is usually used in men,
tioning the name of Hartman.
or all the great railroad men de-
veloped in this generation, Il. III. Har-
riman is easily the biggest and the
best, says a writer in the Hutchinson
(Kan) Daily News The head of a
railroad company, under the rules OF
the game, must work for his stock
holders, whether 1t is for the advan-
tage of politicians, shippers or con-
sumers. 1t is his job to do the best
he can for the interests entrusted to
his care. Hartman is not only a
tinancier, but he is a builder and an
operator. Lucky Is the town, city
or community that has a Hartman
road. He insists on a good roadbed,
level track safe track and the con-
venience and comfort of the traveller
and the shipper. The Hartman roads
are noted as the best in the coun.
try. When Hartman gets hold of a
one-horse or played-out track and
right of way he proceeds to put 1t in
first class condition. He does not
raise the rates of fares, although he
doubtless charges "a plenty" but he
insists that enough of the funds go
into real improvements to make a
railroad. And that is where he stands
ahead of good many others and why
Harrimanism is not such a bad thing
as some people have been led to think.
He makes better railroads, and there
is more need for Improvement that
way than there is in some others
which are being discussed So far
as we can see, he believes in giving
every interest along his road fair
deal.
He is a public benefactor from that
standpoint. He uses his power fairly.
He is a great man, and as good or
better than the ordinary citizen who
looks upon him as the personification
of the money power, seeking whom
it may devour. He is a strong man
in the financial world, but that should
not be against him, when the finan-
cial world is the object which most
of us want to reach. He is good
American and he spends his money
on American railroads, not on foreign
titles, race horses, old editions or
other bad habits, If he is not per-
fect-and we don't think he is-he is
no exception to the rule and is worthy
of the praise of his fellow citizens for
the good he does and has done.

Another way of punishment is to bury
a man up to his neck in wet slime,
which, when it dries, contracts and
gradually brushes him. This is the
most terrible of all deaths.

bands and fife and drum corps made
the music to which the old warriors
kept step. The procession formed at
Eagle Gate, which is one of Salt Lake
City's many picturesque features.
At the word of command the parade
marched west on Main street and
turned south down that thoroughfare

walls of cheering men, women and
children, AS the grizzled veterans
passed the enthusiasm was tremen-
dous and many a spectator wept I'M

undoubtedly the last grand review for
scores OF the feeble heroes who
trudged along with eyes on the flag
for which they had given some of the
best years of their lives.
When Seventh South street was
reached the paraders themselves
broke out in mighty cheering. for
there they turned in front of the most
beautiful feature of the day. the "Liv.

were $500 children dressed in the
national colors and so arranged that
they made perfect representation OF

Ramey was unanimously reelected for
another year.
No time has been fixed for the cleo
