ing the Roosevelt administration. He
it was who took charge when the rail
road king went to Europe in search of
health. And when Hartman returned
to America to die it was Judge Lovett
who was ever closest to him, who was
called to Arden in consultation and
who was designated to take charge of
the greatest transportation system
probably ever assembled in private
hands.
Judge Lovett IS not an operating
man and hence VII probably have lit

man properties But even though he
IS not the technical head in an operat-
ing sense he will be the legal aud
financial head. This is assured by his
election as chairman of the executive
committee of tue Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific. in addition he is IN
official of several transportation lines.
1t is probable that Judge Lovett viii
be chosen to succeed Mr.. Hartman in
the management or directorate of other
properties, including the Pacific steam
ship lines. Whoever Is the nominal
head of these properties. however. the
spirit I'm control will be that of Harri-
man. His system survives him. The
men he trained will follow his meth
DDS. For little man he will cast
long shadow athwart the American
railroad world.
As Harriman's most trusted lieuten-
ant Judge Lovett will be the chief fac
tor In continuing the dead linancier's
rule. Though so unlike physically the
two men are similar in origin and in
mental characteristics. Both started
as poor boys, and both won through
sheer vii! power, mental grasp and
constructive ability. Both have been
organizers and builders. and both are
examples of the opportunity that Amer
ica gives TO these who work and who

gone up in the world he has pulled the
