"MAKES BETTER RAILROADS"
Western Writer Pays Tribute to
RAILROAD Magnate as Builder-Up
of the Country.

Mr.. Edward H. Hartman is on a
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.
Of all the great railroad men de-
veloped in this generation, E. 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 it 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
financier, but he is builder and an
operator. Lucky is the town, city
or community that has a Hartman
road. He insists on 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 it 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 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 personifcation
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 finan-
cial world is the object which most
of us want to reach. He is a 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.

Head On, Only.

Any remark which might possibly
be construed into unfavorable criti-
cism of his old master or any of his
belongings is instantly resented by
Pomp, an old southern negro. A
young granddaughter from up norf''
was looking over the family portraits
and commenting freely, while Pomp
stood, a sable image, at her side.

toward a portrait of her spirited an

CHILD HAD SIXTY B0lLS.
And Suffered Annually with a Red
ScaId-Like Humor on Her Head.
Troubles Cured by Cuticura.

when my little Vivian was about
six months old her head broke out in
boils. She had about sixty in all and
used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment which cured her entirely.
Some time later a humor broke out be-
hind her ears and spread up on to
her head until it was nearly half COW
cred. The humor looked like a scald,
very red with a sticky, clear fluid COM
ing from it. This occurred every
spring. always used Cuticura Soap
and Ointment which never failed to
heal 1t up. The last time it broke
out 1t became so bad that was dis
couraged. But continued the use of

vent until she was we'll and has never
been troubled in the last two years.

A clergyman, who was not averse
to an occasional glass, hired an Irish
