Today at 1870 one Of the most i'm
nartsnt mass meetings that have ever
pccurred in Wichita will be held the
Garfield hall.
1t is a meeting that appeals to the
common sense and business instinct OF
eyery man. not only in Wichita buT IN
the entirs southwest. 1t IS a meetlhs
that if properly handled, in the line %
bringing out the strong logical adVaht-
eges Of the project which it is asked 20
consider, will cause success TO super
cede failure. Heretofore and even no"
the transportation Of products mas ap-
eo,hed ali the profits of the farmers
and in most instances has eaten mo
the necessary cost of production IeaV-
ing him as poor, or poorer, at the emu
of an average season than he was Oe-
fore.
This is not a question that concerns
tba nroducer alone; ii is Of momentu-
ous interest to the business man anu
oven to him who has TO Work LOT udy
wages in every department OF mus
try If the producing class does mo-
,oala something to spend in the mar
kets or for Improvements the puslheS9

Some bright business men have esd
MATED that the building Of the pro-
posed elevator at some central point II
the producing region would enhance
the value of wheat 6 cents busheI ano
other. cereals in proportion. Il thdt L
fhe case it means the saving OF mill
ions of dollars annually 10 the Farmers
of Kansas and Oklahoma This sur
plus money in the pockets Of the farm
ers instead of the transportation com
ranfes would give a new impetus tC
business and would put good deal OF
food in the mouth of labor.
Kansas never will press the button
right until she commences TO ring III
Galveston TO come after her products
ThsG is the natural cheap outlet fol
them Everybody knows that a shor'
haul ought TO be cheaper tnan long
haul and the haul from Wichita 10 Cal
weston is 1000 miles nearer than tbs
haul to New York and Philadelphia
Once on the water everything is prac-
tically equal and grain can be taken
from Galveston to Liverpool about as
cheap as from New York TO Liverpool
provided the business is steady. Ii is
to go. a steady business for the ships
leaving Galveston that an elevator
at W:chf.2 is proposed. Galveston ha:
the freight carrying facilities; Kansa:
and Oklahoma have the tonnage ant
both. according ito reason, ought 4
come together and Go the business along
reciprocal lines.
There will be a great many people a
the mass meeting today. Nearly 10(
delegates from abroad will be here
6.xty a; least will come from the coun-
ties of Kansas outside Of Sedgwick and
come forty viii come from Oklahoma
All these delegates VIII be men Of bust
ness ahility-men who believe in the
great possibilities of the southwest I'M
der favorable conditions.
