RESULTS OR COMMUNITY"
They Are Being Anticipated by Northwestern
Railroad Men With No Little Degree
Of Apprehension.

tremely interesting to know just how the
division of all this tremendous traffice is
to be made, who is to get the lions share
or whether percentage arrangement will
make disposition of the business, but,
however, it may be done, one thing is
certain; hundreds of employees at competi-
tive points are fearful Of losing their
heads
In city like Minneapolis, for example,
one ticket Office will be amply sufficient
for the three roads when the new system
OF looping off needless soliciting agents
is inaugurated. The same will apply to
very many other places, besides an army
of travelling men who will find them
selves with nothing to do when the busl-
ness which has so long been placed to
their individual credit is tossed into q
common pot to be divided by men in Wall
street.
Many to Lose Positions.
The extent to which men may be dis
charged under the new system can
scarcely be con1ectured by persons not
familiar with railroad methods of ad-
vertising and soliciting. In the large
eastern cities swarms of agents represent
ing western lines have commodious
quarters in which sharp, competitive busi-
ness methods have been employed ever
since the roads were built. Now all this
is to be changed. Every man who can
not prove that he Is necessary to the new
order of things will be dropped, and there
are many Of them. That is why the eyes
of thousands Of railroad men all over the
country are watching Minneapolis and st.
Paul, the two representative cities in
the great combination OF northwestern
railroad interests. If the Community Of
ownership plan works in this territory
nothing can prevent the application of the
principle to all other railroad properties
In the country.

KEEP THEIR FEET DRY
SCIENCE SERVES GIRL STUDENTS
rounded With Steam-Heated
Sidewalks.


Chicago, July 3.-The University of Chi
cago is to have a system of steam heated
sidewalks, over which it is expected the
daintiest co-eds will be able to pass dry
shod at any season of the year. A large
force of workmen was busy yesterday
tearing uD the old walks which led from
the women's halls to the lecture-rooms in
Cobb hall preparatory to putting in the
pipes, which are to protect both from
rain and snow, the cement walks that are
to replace the old wooden pathways.
The new system which has been planned
by the university officials, combines sew
eral useful as well as novel features.
From one end of the campus to the
other, wherever the sidewalks run which
lead to the various halls and laboratories,
an elaborate system of brick sewers is to
be built. In connection with these sew
ers are to go the steam pipes. These will
radiate from the center power plant to be
built on the numerous buildings. Both
the heating and sewerage systems will be
hidden from view by the cement walks,
which will be kept at a moderate tenn
perature in cold weather by the heat of
the steam pipes directly beneath. That
the system will be a great benefit in prac-
tical utility and healthfulness is consid-
cred certain at the university

L Thousands of railroad and freight and
passenger officials are eagerly watching
for the first great move toward traffic
reorganization by the financial directors
of the Great Northern Northern Pacific
Burlington properties which have come
under the Community of ownership" plan.
By the terms of the agreement each prop
erty will be operated in the manner best
calculated to conserve the interests OF
the territory traversed by it's lines
Freight and passenger business, for ex-
ample, that belongs Of right to one or
the other of the three great roads will be
handled by the line most advantageously
located to take care of the business. This
means that competition will be practic-
ally done away with in all the vast
country between the Mississippi river and
the Pacific ocean by what is known as
the northern group" of railroads. Where
no necessity exists for competition, there
will be little incentive to secure business
outside Of the legitimate territory as
signed to each property, and while no
absolute division of traffic geography can
be made, the lines will doubtless be indi-
Gated with sufficient clearness to reduce
all active competition to the minimum.
Competition Is Expensive.
In western territory where the interests
of the road have heretofore been arrayed
in fierce competition, hundreds of freight
and passenger solicitors are now at work
in an effort to secure business for their
respective lines. The competitive ter
ritory' is we'll understood by Northern
Pacific and Great Northern officials. as
we'll as by the traffic managers Of the
Burlington. But, working under "help
your neighbor" system, the roads will
have little use for the solicitors to drum
up business, which. II let alone, will seek
it's natural channel. 1t would be ex-

makes the appointment important. 1t is
assumed here that the governor will name
some man who is entirely friendly to the
new republican organization now in con-
troll of South Dakota affairs, and that the
legislature in 1903 will indorse the ap
pointee by electing him for the full term
of six years. At the head of the South
Dakota organization are Governor Her
reid, Senator Gamble and Congressman
Burke. Coe 1. Crawford, in the field for
months as a candidate for Kyles place, is
among those who are being mentioned"
here. Burke is also in the list. Al
though this opening comes little early
for him, it is believed that the practical
objection to Burke is the expense of a
special congressional election.

AN EVIL WHICH SHOULD BE
REMEDIED.

A political news item says that a
resolution may be introduced IN the
Democratic caucus of the extra SEES
sion of the Legislature declaring 1t
to be the sense Of that body that
Judge Riley's successor shall be
chosen from that grand division OF
the State from which the lsmented
jurist came. A member Of the Leg
islsture says that should this be done
it would be promptly met ny one de p
claring that it was the sense OF the
caucus not to elect any man to any
Office within the gift Of the Legisls-
ture who was member of that body.
This latter threat is aimed at Judge
W. 81. Mann. or the four distin'
guished aspirarts for our Supreme
Bench, if THE FREE LANCE were
privileged to declare preference,
that preference would be for Judge
Mann, member Of the Senate from
Nottowsy county, but if he were
thousand times nearer to us we should
still applaud the sentiment which is
expressed above in respect to election
Of members Of the General Assembly
to Rll Office outside Of that body. The
eustom-for it has become sueh-has
been greatly abused, particularly in
recent years. 1t is of common repute
that many gentlemen seek election to
the Legislature with the sole object
in view Of receiving some appointive
Office at the hands of that body,
while not q few have been known to
assert that they desired term or two
in the Legislature because even
ex members of that body were given
preference over outsiders in official
appointments. Cognizsnt Of the IN.
popularity Of this custom the Demo
cratic caucus should adopt some
such action IS above suggested, and
take steps to make permanent the
prohibition. Probably the only way
in which this could be accomplished
would be for the Legislature to pass a
bill declaring ineligible to public Of
fee within its gift a member Of that
body. OF course it could net extend
the inhibition to ex.members, but the
greater part of the evil would be
