RAILROAD news.
Santa Fe Grievance Committee
Now Satisfied.
Division Officials All to Inter-
pref Rules Alike.
TRAINMEN ADJOURN.
Santa Fe is Rushing Oranges to
Market.
Averages Ga Cars a Day From
California.

The trouble between the Santa F'e
trainmen and the company over the in
depreciation of several rules included in
the pay schedule, has been satisfactor-
lily adjusted by General superintendent
Nudge.
The men are satisfied with the con-
struction placed on the rules by Mr.
Nudge, and the general superintendent
will see that in the future all division
officials interpret the rules alike.
The rules in question govern the COM
putation OF mileage in different classes
of runs, and by having them differently
construed by different division officials,
men on some divisions have received
less for the same amount of work than
men on other divisions. Naturally the
men who have received the smaller pay
have kicked" against what they term
ed discrimination, and as appeals for
uniformity in the Interpretation of the
rules have been coming in to the grew
ancG-- committee at every meeting for
several years, the members decided this
year to settle the matter.
The joint grievance committee has
disbanded and the majority of the
members returned to their homes.

More Banquetters Than Seats
or Plates at the Copeland.
Topeka Members Of the Club
Give Up
TO VISITORS.
Charles Curtis Speaks of the
Evils of BOssism.
j. r. Burton Says Bossism is
Another Name for Leadership.

The Copeland dining room never look
ed prettier than on the occasion of the
Kansas Day banquet. The pillars and
wall-mirrors We're decorated with smi-
lax and evergreen while the sideboards
were covered with a beautiful array of
cut flowers. The stars and stripes adj
ded color to the scene. Large palms
stood at regular intervals on the four
immense tables. The animated young
kanSanS, with here and there a veteran,
surrounded the tables. Inability to ac-
commodate the unexpected large crowd
made great demand for tickets. The
fact that Is tickets were issued in ex-
cess of the number of plates laid for the
banquet caused mighty rush for the
dining room when the doors were open
ed. The lobby was damned far back
into the office. It was impossible to get
up and down the stairs such was the
demands for a favorable point from
which to make the run to the promised
land OF plenty. George w. Crane stood
inside the door patiently waiting for
the order to open the door while Col.
Gordon with white apron suspended
from his neck, sleeves rolled up and
arms bare to the elbow, rushed hither
and thither directing the small army of
men preparing the feast. Outside the
dining room the hungry sign was eve
ryWhere visible. Howard Lawrence and
his Amphion madolin club played, but
the hungry crowd pushed the orchestra
members around so eager were they
to get close to the dining room door.
A majority of Topeka members of the
club gave up their seats and tickets to
the banquet to visitors. Visitors who
desired ito participate in the banquet
were not deprived of the opportunity.
The banquet was an excellent one
and occupied two hours. Then came
the speeches and music by the Ampfion
quartet. Prior to the banquet the Kan
sas Day club held a meeting at which
the following officers were elected for
the ensuing year:
President-Arthur Capper, Topeka.
First vice PRESIDENT. S. Simmons,
Dighton.f
Second vice president-W. S. Kret-
singer, Emporia.
Third vice president-William 7. Beck,
Holton.
Secretary-Grant Shaw, editor of the
Florence Bulletin.
w. Y. Morgan, the retiring president
of the club was master of ceremonies
and he perpetrated a number of bright
jokes during the banquet. In his an
nual address Mr.. Morgan referred to
the fact that the number of candidates
for office on the Republican ticket this
year does not indicate that the party is
frightened at the outlook To the young
men he said:
THE political blade in your hand, the
political power in your arm, should be
directed at the enemy in front of you
and not at the cOmrade at your side.
LAS Mr.. Lewelling said to Mr.. Lands,
There may be something in this for

THE DEPRAvED RUN POLITICS
J. R. Burton Thinks the Business Man
Should Interest Himself

In discussing PARTY Obligations"
closing the meeting, J. R. Burton said:
Much has been said about bossism and
corruption in politics. AS to boss1sTn,
it is only another term for leadership,
and you had as well expect an army to
march to battle in orderly array as TO
expect a political party to contend for
it's principles successfully except under
the direction of competent leadership.
There are political leaders now, and
there ever will be, they are now and
ever will be just what the people want
or what they negligently permit. The
sole cause of any bad leadership any
where in this country is tr2ceabIe to
the fact that so many good men commit
the reasonable act of neglecting politics.
[ say reasonable for it is a crime for
any man in this country to even neglect
politics. The first duty of the citizen is
politics. Voting is not so much right
as it is a duty. If a duty, then 1t de-
mands that the best conscience and the
best thought shall be exercised in its
discharge Men should give more care
even to politics than they do to bust
ness, but a great many good men give
all care to business and no care to poll
tics, and here lies our great danger. Inc
best brain in this country is given over
to business, to making money, as if the
purpose of this government was to
furnish an opportunity and a place for
accommodating wealth, while politics is
to be given over to the ignorant and to
the depraved.
this state since 1890. In the past we
have made some mistakes.
For a time we forgot that there is
no Kansas except that it is an integral
part of the Union. State lines are mag
mary rather than real We are a part
of the nation. Our purpose must be the
nations purpose, our hope the nations
hope and our destiny the nations des-
tiny The Republican party in Kansas
now is in perfect accord with the party
in the nation. It must be kept SO. There
must be no backward step.
1.-The voice of faction must be ST.
fenced. All contests within the party
must be friendly and cease when the
caucus or the convention has acted. If
we make mistakes let US correct them
within the party's camp, not try, as did
a faction in Ohio and Maryland, to join
with the enemy against our own
friends.
Il want all grumbling in Kansas to
stop. 1 want defeated candidates to do
as much, yes, more, for our beloved
party than they who are successful
MY friend, if you fail to get the
place you can do more than the man
who gets it. You act from generosity,
from love of party, and all cOncede the
purity of your motives, while your
seemingly more fortunate neighbor, who
has the place you wanted, is handicap
ped in his work. Many are ready to
say he acts for self or power.
Generosity in politics as in every
thing else is the best capital a man
can have. Don't tell me my ideal is too
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1898-01-31

high-that it is not practical politics.
Away with such lessons for the young
members of our party. While child [
sat at the feet of Oliver p. Morton and
while my kith and kindred were she'd
ding their blood to make good the grand
purpose of national life and national
unity, for which this country was
founded, I took these high ideals from
that great man, and I want to cherish
them through life.
The mission of the grand old Repub-
lican party is not to furnish places for
its members; nor is it alone to furnish
policies that help to the accumulation
of wealth. They are necessary, il is
true; but its grand mission is to help
lift this people to a higher plane of cit
izenship, to be the holy instrument in
helping to carry out the divine purpose
for which this country was founded and
for which it exists
