THE CONTROL OF RAILWAYS.
Wall Street Has Little knowledge of
Actual Operations.

An idea which has found wide cur
rency with the people OF the country,
says the Railway Review, is that the
entire railway system Of this country,
with a capital stock amounting TO up
wards OF $1,000. 100000. is practically IN
der the domination of not more than a
dozen men, and that the operations of
these railroads are under their specific
direction Nothing can be farther from
the truth than this statement II is a
fact that during the past years there
has been a large movement towards the
consolidation OF railroad interests. but
IL has not progressed anywhere near the
boundary that It set for it Instead Of
a dozen men. many times that number
control the policies OF the railroads and
many more times the latter number di-
rect their operation.
Wall street has very little to do with
railrOading as a business. It deals in
stocks and bonds and INDUCES generally
in speculation. but that IS a very diff
ferent thing from running railroad It
is doubtful if many Of the largest deal
ers in Wall street knows as much OF the
actual operations Of a railroad in which
they may have large holdings, as the
Office boy Of any Of the departments
directly engaged in operating the prop
erJy- The two things are entirely dis
tiuct and should not be confOunded in
the minds OF the general public.

ROOSEvELTBALKS
He Will Pass Through Kansas
on Sunday.
No Politics to be Talked Until
After Notification.

Governor Roosevelt will pass through
Kansas next Sunday. the plan to have
him make a series of political speeches
failing on that account.
Mr.. M. A. Low returned from Chicago
this afternoon. He was working with
Vice President Paul Morton in the ar
rangement of the trip for Governor
Roosevelt.
No arrangements were completed
when Mr.. Low left Chicago but on ar
irving home this afternoon he received
from Mr.. Morton a telegram in which
Mr.. Morton stated that Governor Roose-
welt would pass through Kansas Sun
day and that in all probability a stop
of ten or fifteen minutes would be made
at Topeka The train will run as a
special.
The telegram also stated that Henry
c. Payne of Wisconsin would call Fri
day on Mr.. Morton to confer concerning
Mr.. Roosevelt's movements.
Returning east Mr.. Low believes a
few short speeches will be made by the
governor, who will, if arrangements can
be made, be taken backv via the Rock Isl
and.
Mr.. Roosevelt" said Mr.. Low, will
make no political speeches until after he
has received official notification by the
committee of his nomination for vice
president"
Then there will be no political
speeches on this trip?" queried the
Journal reporter.
NO. replied Mr.. Low. land the de-
tails have not been completed for the
Kansas trip, so it is now impossible to
say what arrangements for stops will
be made"
Mr.. Low said that Governor Roose-
welt could not address the state Repub-
ican league meeting, so the meeting
will not be postponed from Thursday.
