Morton is a stalwart %six-footer, the son

when he quit that road was it's general

than is necessary to the direct act Of ex-
p%ansion. In other words, the expansion
must be self-preserving and not destruc-
tive. Such a necessity for territorial
extension does not exist. Therefore, all
talk of expansion is without just cause.
The government has no authority over
the lives and property of the people for
such a purpose. 1t is absolutely un-
necessary and completely foreign to any
thought of preserving the Union, or
maintaining the conditions of the con-
stitution.
When the people of the United States
awake to their senses, they will declare
themselves free from machine usurpa-
ton. Assuming their natural and con-
stitutional dictatorship, as strong men,
they will select true and strong men to
represent them-dishonesty is always
weak. The government will again be
constitutional. AS from the beginning
the Union has been for individual pre-
s%ervation so to the end it mnst be the
intelligent conduct of the government on
that principle as writ in the constitution
by the fathers and accepted by their
posterity.
To uphold the constitution is as neces-
sary to US as it was to the fathers to or
dain and establish it. Powerful as they
seem the machines are rotten. The
parties are corrupt. We, the people,
must "form a more perfect Union"
We must organize a new party. Amer
icanism must be born again. The slo-
gans of liberty, the battle-cries of free
dom, must be-no representation with
out taxation. No sacrifice of life except
in the common defense or to maintain
domestic tranquility. No taxation ex-
cept to uphold and develop the general
welfare. Constitutionalism, not despot-
ism. Legality, not anarchy.

with the son. Mr.. Morton was the
prince of hosts in his private car. His
manner is modest and u~npretentious but
he knows the railroad business from end
to end. The Santa Fe system was reor-
ganized and taken out of the hands of
the receiver in 1896 and since hat time
ten millions of dollars have been ex-
pended in betterments. It is rock bal
lasted almost from Kansas City to Los
Angeles. All along the line there are
evidences of liberal expenditures in i'm
provements. Everything has been
touched up and it can well be guessed
that the new Santa Fe company is COM
posed of business men who know how
to manage a railroad. The passenger
department. is at Topeka, while the exc
cutive officers have their headquarters
in Chicago. The company pays the in
terest on all it's bonds and dividends on
all it's stocks. The gross earnings for
the year just ending will be forty mil
lions of dollars. The European stock
holders take much interest in the Santa
Fe and are pleased with their invest
ment. It is probably the only railroad
in America that bears the nam of a
town off it's main line. The old town of
Santa Fe, the picturesque capital Of the
territory, is located many miles from
the main line on a branch, leaving the
main line at Lamy, some distance west
of Las Vegas. The railroad on the
stock exchange in New York is called
the "Atchison." In Europe it is al
ways spoken of as the Topeka" while
the company advertises itself al the
"Santa Fe Line" Together the entire
name is made use of. The road enjoys
more exclusive territory than any other
line in existence and it is surprising that
syndicates were not falling over each
other to secure the property when it
was on the market. No other railroad
has SO many branch lines, every rich
valley Offering a temptation to build.
1t is a road that is in close touch with
the people, anxious to aid in the general
development.-Des Moines Capital.
