the appropriations and adjourn. and 1t
may be and doubtless viii be discovered
after IL is al over that the word rail-
way IS nowhere written upon the ses-
sion laws Of 1908. One potent reason
for the change in sentiment which has
occurred in Kansas and in other western
states IS the fact that such railroads as
the Santa F'e have kept their hands of
politics. In the opinion Of officials Of
that company. il is the gravest kind of
mistake for railroad to mix up in pol
tiles, and the wisdom OF keeping out has
been amply shown IN the case OF the
Santa Fe. In addition To this the rail-
roads Of the west have carried on
systematic campaign OF education
which has taught the people that their
interests and the interests of the rail-
road systems are the same The pros
perity eff the one means the prosperity
Of the other. and both should work hand
in hand toward building UP the interests
Of TIE country.

Planned regardless whether there are
saloons there or not Our regulations are

This new DEVELOPMENT was certainly

and was allowed to stand uncontrs4-

Mayor Wilson published his proclama-

that with go days the sale of liquor in
