OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 5. 1902
SWINGING BACK INTO LINE.

st. Louis Globe Democrat: The
states of the Rocky mountain region
and the Pacific slope are this year
taking a more active interest in
politics than usual. The republicans
of Colorado. Wyoming. Utah, Nevada
Idaho and Washington are showing
a zeal in the canvass which promises
good results. Some Of these states
elect state officers in addition to the
members of congress which are to be
chosen in all Of them. Oregon had
its election in June and the great
majority which was rolled up for
the republican candidates for con-
gress in that typical far western
state indicates that this is to be a
good year for republicans Of the
mountain region and the Pacific
coast.
Colorado is swinging back TO its
old place in the republican column,
and there are prospects that it will
arrive in this election. The l35. 600
plurality which Bryan received in
that state in 1886 was cut to $1,000
in 1900. His party's margin is likely
to vanish in 1902. Wyoming. which
went to Bryan in 1896. was won back
in 1900, and it ian be relied on to
give a good sized majority for the
republicans in the vote On congress
IN November. Washington. which
also went astray in 1896. returned to
the republicans two years ago and
will be with them this year. The
republicans regained Utah in 1900,
which was almost unanimously for
Brayn four years earlier. Idaho has
-SSeen democratic or fusionist for half
"a dozen years. This time the re-
pnblicans have a chance to carry it.
Senator Stewart. who knows Nevada
politics as well as does any ma in
the United States. says.Neyada will
be regained by the republicans in
1909.
All orer the far west the outlook
for the republicans is bright. OF
course the general prosperity through
out the country will count eyerv-
where in favor Of the party which
broughtit. but it will be particularly
potent in the states of the mountain |
region and the Pacific coast. The
irrigation act. which PresidentI
Roosevelt recommended in his mess
age to congress last December and
which a republican congress passed.
will be Of special benefit to most of
those states. Already business in
them has been favorably affected BIZ
this &C. although a year or two
must pass Before it can fairly be put
in operation anywhere. The reports
which are coming from our neighbors|
On the country's sunset verge are
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to the republi-l
can party.

The socialists are going to do bust
ness in the state election this fall.
at least they have put up a ticket
with the IDEA of gathering in about
5000 votes a convention was held
at Aberdeen a few days ago and
Father Hare was endorsed for United
States senator. Freeman knowles.
OF Lawrence county, and Walter
Price. of Sully county. were nomi-
mated for Tcongress. and ]. c. Craw-
ford, OF Clark county, for governor.
ihere IS not much danger OF the
socialists cutting much figure in the
campaign this year, bat in1904 they
declare that they will make the
democrats the third party in the
state.

Yankton Press and Dakotan: The
democrats are turning out By fan
the largest proportion Of conscientious
men this year. 1t is not infrequent
that we have read of some person
having been nominated to an i'm
portant candidacy By a democratic
convention. declines the nomination
because he cannot conscientiously
endorse the platform in its entirety
and he is compelled to refuse an
honor which would place him in the
attitude Of a h%ypocrite. We hear
very little Of this from the repbuli-
cans and are therefore painfully
forced to the conclusion that they
have no conscientious scruples. Of
course the result Of the matter will
be that while the democrats will have
all the consciences the republicans
will get all the Offices.
This is a new phase in democracy.
Usually if a democrat wanted an
Office his conscience had very little
to do with his candidacy, particularly
if the party was in the ascendency.
By reason of these conscientious
democrats the republican vote will be
that much larger this year. So far
as the conscientious scruples of the
republicans r concerned the plat
form can be supported in its entirety,
for every plank is acceptable to them

LOOKED AT TERMINALS.
Houston Takes Guess at Doings of
Rock Island Officials.

Every newspaper has taken guess at
what the Rock Island officials are doing
down there, and the following dispatch
from Houston tries to cover the whole
range of possibilities: The officials of the
Chicago, Rock Island &Pacific road spent
today in Houston and Galveston. They
looked closely into the terminals of the
Houston and Texas Central at Houston
and of the Gulf. Colorado and Santa Fe
at Galveston. Mr.. Warren was very in
properties and closely investigated the
business of Houston. All of the gentlemen
We're seen and asked to their inten-
lions regarding the building of the Gulf
line from Dallas to Houston. Mr.. Warren
said that they did not know themselves.
He could not say what would be done,
for the reason that the matter had not
been decided. Opinion is greatly devided
among those who believe themselves in q
position to know. 1t is said that the Gulf
road viii be built by the most direct
route Another report is that the Rock
Island win absorb the Houston and Texas
Central. Another is that 1t VIII have a
traffic agreement with the Central and
the Santa Fe whereby it will operate its
own trains over the tracks of those COM
panies but will not biuld a new road.
The Ceatral officials express the utmost
ignorance as to what Will be done about
it. Everybody appears. to be ignorant
though many are willing to hazard a
guess. The Rock Island officials left for
the North tonight. The party consists of
Messrs- Warren, Leeds, Low. Godnow and
Dauchey.

MUST BE GOOD.
Santa Fe Shows the Iron Hand to
Swift & Co.

St. Joseph. Mo. Oct "a bitter strug-
gle is on between two CT the most powerful
corporations in the United States-the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e railway and
swift & Co. About five years ago Swift
& Co. placed a boycott on the Santa Fe.
During September that railroad hauled
into st. Joseph 16 per cent of the live
stock received here As a result of the
boycott they We're allowed to haul out but
6 per cent of the pacing house products.
road usually is allowed to haul out
4 share of the packing house products in
proportion to the percentage of live stock
shipped in by it. The Santa Fe determined
to retaliate On September is it sent out
notices that the rate on live stock into
St. Joseph would be increased on October
l to 3 cents per hundred over the rate to
Kansas City. This would mean a complete
loss to st. Joseph of all live stock in the
territory tributary to the Santa Fe. Three
cents per hundred would amount to about
ST per car.
Swift & Co. at once opened negotiations
with the Santa Fe. The result was that
on September 26 notices were sent out by
the railway that the increased rate would
not go into effect until October TO- The
negotiations are still on. The Santa Fe
demands a fair share of the shipments
of the packing house products out of St.
Joseph. If Swift & Co do not agree to
their terms the rate will go into effect on
October 10, as announced.

the line. and rates remain the same. or
course we gain in the increase OF Vol
llnle of travel. both of passengers and
freight but if prices keep on going up
we may have to advance rates The eX-
pense of railroading is composite item,
made up of interest on capital, the COST
of many different classes of labor, and
of everything goes up, why the rates
will have to be increased or the return
to the investor reduced.
I do not think that there will be any
great movement of coal from Colorado
to the east, even though the strike con-
tinues TIE east may draw upon Mis-
souri, and Kansas for coal to some ex-
tent and this VIII leave a district fur
Their east for Colorado coal mines to
to affect Colorado Colorado coke is al
ready going to Chicago in considerable
quantities, but the difficulty is that
the railroads are short of cars for its
TRANSPORTATION.
The car problem is getting to be like
the currency problem. The nation at
times finds itself without enough money
to carry on its business and the rail-
roads at times find themselves without
the cars thev need. I think 1t is all
wrong for the government to keep gold
boarded up while the country is in dis
tress for it. That IS a matter that can
be reached by intelligent legislation, but
the car problem, believe, is with us to
stay. There Will always be certain
times Of year when there is more bust
ness than at other times. The roads
standing on their sidetracl1s nine
months of the year so they may be able
to give prompt service during the other
three months

CUT TOLL RATES.
Purpose of the Independent Tele-
phone Companies.

Kansas City Oct. &c. B. Berry, a
member of the executive committee of the
Kansas Independent Telephone association,
who was at the Hotel Baltimore yesterday,
says that when the Independent telephone
companies of Kansas and Missouri COM
plete the trunk lines they have projected
long distance tolls in the two states will
be cut from % to so pei. cent. Within a
year. Mr.. Berry says the Kansas and Mis-
souri, Independent companies will have
hundreds of miles of trunk line in Opera
ton. The exchange of the Kansas City
Home Telephone company viii be in the
central for nearly all the new long dis
tance lines ~~.--
Mr.. Berry said that the executive com
mittee of the Kansas Independent Tele-
phone association will meet with Barber
and Bradley of the Home Telephone com
pany in Kansas City within ten days to
take action towards building new trunk
lines 1t has already been decided to put
up a heavy line between Kansas City and
St Joseph and work on this will be com
menced very soon The Kansas City-St.
Joseph line will connect. also, 18th the in
dependent exchanges at Lawrence, At chi
son and Topeka All the new trunk lines
viii be of heavy, durable copper. which
will insure patrons the best Of service.
The independent people believe in doing
large business at small prices father than
small business at big prices said Mr.
Berry, who is manager of the Atchison In
dependent exchange. In year we ex-
pect to have our new trunk lines in oper-
alton, and then there will be cut in
tolls I thing
rs there any danger of a senout to the
Bell people after the Independent lines are
buit?' asked.
No, sir; there will be no selout."
THE telephone business can not be mo-
nopolized in the future" concluded Mr..
Berry. 1T is a paying business and any
amount of capital can be secured to push
it. Capitalists know that the telephone has
como to stay ard is a necessity There
fore, they are not loath to invest their
money in the business.
A cut of from Is to 50 per cent in long
distance tolls would mean that rates to
many points in Kansas and Missouri would
be low as Is cents. The highest charge
could be scarcely more than 40 cents to
any point in either state. Mr.. Berry re-
| turned TO AtchisOn last night.

Santa Fe Establishes a Good Prece-
dent at Albuquerque.

Albuquerque, N NJ, Oct. 6.-There are
always a few guests at the Alvarado who
have nerves. and these few have at vary
ing intervals in the course of the day and
night been startled by loud and unearthly
shrieks, the kind that steam alone can
produce. These screams are the warning
notes Of the engines about to leave the
yards with string OF freight cars. The
whistles disturbed the day dreams and
the slumbers of many besides the Alva-
RADIO guests, and a wall went up
that was quite as powerful as the
whistle. 1t didn't ascend to heaven. but it
reached the ears of Division Superinten-
dent Fox at Las Vegas. He hardened
having doubtless been troubled by the
toots himself although he is not at all
troubled with nerves. So the fiat went
forth that there will be no more toots
from starting engines in the Albuquerque
yards. Indeed the enginenen are ordered
to use the whistle, while in the yards
only in case of danger. The people will
return thanks.
