MAKES BETTER RAILROADS"
Western Writer Psys Tribute 10
Railroad maanate as 5uilder-up
Of the Country.

Mr.. Edward II. Hartman is on g
trip to Europe. Ordinarily there
would need be nothing added to this
announcement beyond an exhortatlon
10 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 of on a pleasure trip.
and so many mean things have been
said about him that II 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 mem
tioning the name of Hartman.
OF all the great railroad men de-
veloped in this generation, Il. H. 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 IL is for the advan-
tage Of politicians, shippers or con-
sumers. II is his job to do the best
he can for the interests entrusted to
his care. Hartman is not only a
financier, but he is 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 treveler
and the shipper. The Hartman roads
are noted as the best in the coun-
try. When Hartman gets hold of a
one-horse or playedout track and
right of way he proceeds to put Il 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 strong man
in the financial world. but that should
not be against him. when the fnan-
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.

The vogue of appeal to the "unwrtten
law" is one of the abuses of modern times
Nowadays any man who can claim to be Of
highly sensitive temperament can appeal
to this legal phantom with many chances
in favor Of his issuing successfully from
any crime he may have committed. If he
is an artist, he has especial chances of es-
Gaping conviction, since he can plead, as
most artists do, that he comes within the
category of supermen, and that ordinary
laws are not applicable to him. Give the

New York, March 9.-Elihu Root

dent, and he and President Taft are on

Mr.. Loeb's appointment did not indi-
cate that Theodore Roosevelt planned
to control Republican politics in this
state on his return from the African
hunting trip, he said:

CHANGE ARMY HEADQUARTERS
Seattle May Secure Department Now

Seattle May Secure Department Nov
at Vancouver.
Washington. March 9.-Representa-
tive Ellis has learned that the general
staff Of the army is at last seriously
considering removal of the headquart-
ers Of the Department of the Columbia
from Vancouver to Seattle.
General Bell. chief Of staff, with
whom he has talked, says that in view
of the growing Importance of army
posts in Alaska and the large ship
ments of supplies to those posts, the
headquarters should be more centrally
located than at present and personally
he believes they should go to Seattle.
Ellis also finds that officers of the De
partment of the Columbia are strongly
in favor of the removal to Seattle and
have so recommended. Indeed, it
seems that movement to bring about
removal was started by them.
Ellis is planning further conferences
with General Bell and the secretary of
war in the hope of preventing removal,
but said today the outlook was very
discouraging. 1t seems to be pretty
well determined that the headquarters
shall go to Seattle, though no order to
that effect has yet been issued.

Flood of Laborers to America

Toxic. March 4.-Returns just com

between June and December, l9Oo,
1854 Japanese left the empire bound
for the United States, while 3, 800 re-
turned from the United States during
the same period. Of those returning
3,03l travelled third class across the
Pacific, which indicates that they were
of the laboring class, against whom the
emigation restrictions of the japanese
government are particularly directed.
The total number of Japanese sailing
for Hawaii from japan during the
same period is shown to have been
1,151, while those returning from the
islands numbered 1851, of which num-
Der 1889 were third class passengers.
During the month of January, 1909,
the foreign office figures show that l52
Japanese sailed for the United States
from Japan, while 295 returned to
Japan during the same period from
that country. Two hundred and sixty
four of the latter travelled third class.
In the same month l45 Japanese
sailed for Hawaii, while go returned,
all the homeward bound coming third
class.
The months embraced by these fig
ures include the period in which the
agreement relative to emigrants to the
United States, which was concluded
between Thomas j. O'Brien, the Amer
lean ambassador, and the Japanese for
eign office in January, 1907, became
actually operative.
The foreign Office points out the
fact that it requested several months
time to perfect system whereby the
entire field of emigration could be
brought under control, namely, those
months between the conclusion of the
agreement and June l, 1908, and that
consequently the showing for the
months beginning in June and up to
the present time is the only fair test
of the effectiveness of the system of
restriction employed.
The foreign officials are particularly
insistent upon calling attention to the
fact that upon the figures given, 1900
more Japanese returned from Ameri-
can territory than sailed for it dur
ing the last eight months, and they
state that this is extremely significant
of the agreements effectiveness.

SPOKANE RATE DECISION.
Interstate Commerce Commission Fa
vors Coast in Findings.

| Interstate
vors Coast In Findings.
Washington, March BY the unan-
;mous decision of the Interstate Com
rrerce commission the present system
Of lower terminal rates to Pacific coast
noints than are charged to interior
noints. though the latter may be nearer
the point of shipment, is sustained as
inst and lawful under the Hepburn rate
iaw The contention of the Pacific
coast ports and the transcontinental
railroads is upheld in its entirety.
Comfort is given Spokane in the
shape of a general reduction OF class
rates from Chicago and st. Paul in 20
of the specified 90 commodity rates
against which complaint was made.
In the other five commodity rates
AGAINST which complaint is made, in
creases are made. But this does not
change the relative position of Spokane
az an interior point and the coast cities
as points enjoying water competition.
Under the decision the railroads are
free to follow up the reduction in the
Spokane rates ordered by the commits
sion by making proportionate reduc-
ton in the rates to coast terminals.
Should they fail to make such reduc-
ton, they would be exposed to the dam
ger of losing large volume of their
traffic to their ocean competitors.
The two points in the complaint filed
by the city of Spokane against the
Northern Pacific, the Great Northern
and the Union Pacific railroads we're:
First, that the rates from Eastern
points to Spokane were higher than to
Seattle, more distant point.
Second. that the rates to Spokane
were inherently unreasonable.
On the first point defendants main
tanned that water competition COM
PEELED them to charge the rates in
effect to Seattle and that therefore they
might charge higher rate to Spokane
without violating the long-and- short
haul provision or without discriminate
ing against Spokane under the law.
The commission sustains the claim
of the defendants in this respect and
holds that the rates to Spokane, al
though higher than to Seattle, are not
unlawful.
On the secondspoint the commission
sustains the claim of the petitioner
and holds that the rates from Eastern
points to Spokane are unjust and un-
reasonable. 1t reduces class rates from
St. Paul to Spokane 1625 per cent, and
makes substantially the same reduc-
tion from Chicago to Spokane. Rates
east of Chicago are not dealt with.
