miles OF line, or nearly all that will be
included in The final report for the year
The passenger earnings of these rail-
ways were S426. 9.21O, the freight carr
ings of twice that figure. and the total
gross earnings ss,2i1 per mile of line. or
s1,iS7. .O44.s1I. as shown in the final report
for 1900.
As the operating expenses amounted to
81. 1.G23. .15e. Isl, or s5,S2S per mile of line.
the net earnings of the roads contained in
this advance statement were s555. COZ 1924,
or S35,577 .21S in excess Of their earnings,
during the fiscal year 1900.
Income Over 2O,OOO,OOo.
The total income of these roads. includ-
ing S65 I'll .244 received from investments
and other sources. was $500. .2T9.1

Rentals That Fay Dividends.
With respect to dividends, however. il
should be noted that as the preliminary
report is confined to returns of operating
roads, the dividends shown therein do
not represent the entire amount of divi-
dends declared on the stocks OF all the
railways of the United States, because the
dividends Of leased lines are paid from
the rentals they receive from the operat-
ing lines.
The dividends paid by the two classes
of companies annually includes about $50,
100000 paid on the part of leased lines.

TEE NEWSPAPER PACK HORSE.

The Sioux Falls Press and the Aber-
deem News are engaged in a dignitied
dispute over the ethics of political sub
sides to newspapers. AS we under
stand the Press contention, it is that
the so-called party press donates Il
great deal of space the only thing it
has for sale except papers) and does a
great deal of work for "the party
which it is under no obligation to do.
To that extent we agree with the Press
man. A man who happens to be print
ing Il newspaper for Il living and hap
pens to be Il democrat, republican or
populist. is expected to print calls for
conventions n c%aucuses, set up the
type. or pay for doing it, buy the paper
and pull the press, all for the 'good of
the cause" He must announce all
meetings, write them up good, bad or
indifferent) as large and enthusiastic,
give every local candidate a paper
Characterization the first and only
kind he eve had-and donate from q
stick-full to a column of space for
three months to ''carry the ticket" at
the head of his editorial page.
It is all wrong. The printers vote
and his editorial utterances are quite
distinct from his space. He should
cast the M and use the other ION his
manhood" but he is under no more
~oeatgation to give 80 or $40 worth of
his space for the benefit of some man

SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP.

e. G. Tory, the versatile editor of
the northwest department of the Min
neapolis Journal, dished up the fol-
lowing political gossip the other day:
A deal of political gossip has been
heard in political circles this week.
Ore report, given here for what it is
worth, is that M. Crawford is going to
get out of the race for senator and
leave a clear field for Mr.. Kittredge.
The formers Ease is declared hopeless,
by no as good IS before the
death of Senator Kyle. This report so
far as known, is not confirmed by the
home friends of Mr.. Crawford, and it
should be taken with a reasonable
amount of salt.
But nj thing is certain, the Kilt.
redge boomers are becoming more con-
fident all the time. ::They declare there
is no alliance, defensive or otherwise,
between Senator Gamble and Mr..
Crawford. They will tell you that the
relations between the two South Dako-
to senators are cordial, that this very
week Senator Gamble has been an hon.
ored guest in the bachelor apartments
of Senator Kittredge at Sioux Falls,
and that the two have been literally
sleeping and eating together. 1t has
been noticeable that all this talk of
trouble between The two senators has
come from fusion sources or from "in-
surgent" papers. The Sioux Falls
Press, the personal organ of ex-Sen-
ator Pettigrew, has given much space
to it. In this instance the wish was
no doubt father of the thought.
Then, too, Senator Kittredge has
been doing things on his own account.
He has toured the Hills since his ap-
%pointment and has been up in the
northern part of the state, visiting at
Hulon also and at Watertown. OF
curse he was looking up the needs of
his constituency, but Mr.. Kittredge is
OF the kind of men who kill two birds
with one stone whenever the opportun-
ity presents. MIR. Crawford may have
been doing things, too, but they are
not SO apparent at this distance.
The state convention will be held
early next year and Congressman
Burke and Martin will probably be re-
nominated. Martin is very popular in
the Hills and no Roadway can be made
against him in Il campaign there. Gov
emo Herreid will be renominated. and
so, too, will all the one-termers at the
statehouse. The other candidates will
be carefully selected and the best and
strongest nominations made without
regard to factions. or past complica-
tions. This is the program and no
good reason seems to have been ad-
vanced why it should not Le carried
out. 1t is doubtful if there has ever
been a time when the people were bet
ter satisfied with the acts of their rep.
r~esentatives than at present. There
are, of course those who find fault, but
it is noticeable that conspicuous
among these are men who have had
their day in court and are disgruntled
because their lease of political life can
not last forever. The honesty, ability
and fitness of the entire force of men
in every department of public service
in this state are conceded,
