served success is nothing short of marvellous. Unlike some of the earlier railroad financiers, his work has been to build up the properties under his control. To take a railroad physically and financially dead and reconstrucc> it into profitable and efGeieRl road requires more real ability, and courage than to build them. Too many railroad have been built for profits made in the build ing.

Indeed, in the management of interests as great as he built up the question of able lieuten- ants paramount.

From the Phoenix Gazette.


 York bankers; over the Equitable Life headquarters, over the rail- road offices of most of the. great. rail systems ofthe United States. all in mute tribute to the death of one small man.
 Of all that small group of fin ance kings in the United States. Hartman was easily the best liked in popual estimation. The reason is not far to seek. In re- cent years, since throwing of the mast of silence, he has been known as a most homely and de- mocratic man, an understandable man, a most human and thorough -ly American man. He hadrsound sense. He had humor. Perhaps it was this latter quality which enabled him to keep on a social level with any sound-hearted in- dividual in his company. Harri- man was never afflicted with that bane of American wealth-the better than thou" affectation.
 Readers of the newspapers have read much in the par-and will read more for few days-of the vast wealth of Hartman, of his genius for organization, and his profound knowledge of the game of finance. But they will almost certainly see small mention of the fact that Hartman served his country, and made it better for the serving.
 He had a positive zeal for talk ing decadent railroads and putt ing new life into them. By cutt- ing of all waste and by putting capital where capital was needed. by improving the lines, he better ed the service to the people and promoted the development to the country.
 He infused new vigor and spirit of growth into every rail- aystem over which he assumed control. They were better man. aged; they did more work; they carried more freight between producer and consumer. Most likely MT. Hartman de rived more success from the fact that he surrounded himself with such men as Epes Randolph. MT. Randolph, as is we'll known, is now in absolute control of one of MT. Harriman's most gigantic railroad enterprises.
 That he gained great wealth for himself was only an incident of his career. He has left the mass of money behind him. Soon- CT or laterit will drift out through the industrial centers of the coun- try and be distributed in the pockets of many people. But the concrete results of Hartman, s |endeavors will remain.
 He was a man great enough to dream himself visions of the future, and to bring those visions into the world of realities. He died before half of the dreams had come true, but he also accomplish l ed a very great deal.
 what his-li may have been does not matter now. The thing of consequence is that yesterday afternoon the world lost the great est man ever known in business or commercial lift. The Gazette mourns the death of MT. Harri' man.
 (Contributed) Genuine sorrow is felt in Ariz' ona over the untimely ending o1 Edward H. Hartman. Had he
 been spared to enjoy the allotec lspan of three score years and ter the southwest would have pro fitted immeasureably by his en l Ia,.e.,, and nrorninS Removed in thf
