The INDEPENDENT feels that DR.. Pratt
had no right to have been put on,
for the simple reason that he is not
member other than being its exc

beneath the others. When he went
on that tour, it is safe to say that
he went there already biased, and
such has been the case anyway, only
too plain. He and Mr.. Reynolds
have been long together and are
both tarred with the same brush,
And since the Board OF Health has
started on a letting out campaign,
it would do itself great credit by

In the published statement so far
received OF what Bishop Potter has
to say in reply to Bishop Willie,
which was republished herein in
last Saturdays ISSUE, he quietly
evades the accusation made against
him by his brother in the Episco-
pacy, in that he caused a resolution
to be introduced and passed, pro-
baby upon misrepresentation Of
facts, thereby showing his utter lack
OF courtesy due to brother Of the
same order, who was then and there
present by due invitation aud while
this proceeding was going on. This
is one of those American traits
which we have known only too we'll
to our cost. Such disoourtesy
ranks supremely- amongst Ameri-
cans OF the Bishop Potter type and
is beneath contempt.

and produce revenue enough to keep
the wheels going
1T certainly goes without saying, at
a business mems banquet, that no one
railroad has power any more to make
it's own tariffs. The tariff is a complex
business production, rs we may all be
led to vividly appreciate when the
inter state commerce commission be-
gins to promulgate tariffs for every
body but this have right to say
for the Burlington that, in the max
ing and application of tariffs, it's influ-
ence has always been exercised for
reasonable rates, for rates that will
move the corn and cattle to market,
that will enable the business of small
towns to prosper and that will build
up and stimulate the local industries
along it's line. How and where and
when it's influence in these directions
has been felt you may not know in
detail. But this assurance as business
men you have had for many recent
years, that no railroad company has
had man in charge of it's freight in
terests, more democratic in his ideas
and manners, better qualified from
long experience as all Iowa business
man himse If, nor more in sympathy
with the western farmer and stock
growers, and the western merchant
and manufacturer, than modest, genial
and capable Tom Miller, and when
it comes to successful railroading there
is good deal in selecting men like
that.
"The Burlington has been progress
sive railroad it is progressive railroad
now. In the year just passed it paid out
1926, 900 simply in improving it's road,
as it stands; that is, in reducing it's
grades, Strengthening curves, adding
new tracks, buildings, fences and
bridges, besides paying out more than
81, 100000 for new equipment, among
the latter being 1000 freight cars added
in the year. This does not include two
and a half million dollars expended dur
ing the year upon the new lines built in
Wyoming and Colorado. Of this four
and quarter millions spent last

grades and putting in second track, etc.,
more than $2,50O,OOO was spent in

STORY OF THE BURLINGTON.

December 30, w. w. Baldwin spoke
Of the Burlington system as follows
'Many farmer, in this county and
in the counties west of here, has cause
for thankfulness that he bought his
farm from the Burlington, and not
from speculator. It's land policy was
always to favor the farmer and to sell
lands only to actual settlers. These
sales were made OH ten years time,
with every facility afforded to enable
the purchaser to become the owner of
his land. Prior to 1868, all sales were
made at $1.25 per acre. The lands
were good but the people were poor.
Today these same lands are worth
from $40 to $3.50 per acre, showing to the
farmer a larger profit on the invest
ment than was realized by any pur-
chaser Of the stock or bonds of the rail
road company. In this connection
there is All interesting situation grow
ing out of the land grant to the Bur-
lington, to which you will pardon my
alluding. BY all act of congress
passed twenty-five years ago, deduc-
tion is made Of 20 per cent of the
mail pay of all land grant roads.
Ever since the fast mail was es-
tablished on the Burlington, this de-
duction has reached large and con-
stantly increasing sum and aggregates
at this time more than 5000, 1000.
'The company could have bought
land granted to it in Iowa for $3.50, 600
when the grant was made. 1t has al
ready repaid to the government twice
the value Of it's Iowa land grant and
is now paying at the rate of over $780,
600 year for what was intended by
the people at the beginning as gift.
Such is politics in some Of it's phases
"Other railroad systems have become
prosperous from the traffic of mines or
the products Of the forests, but this
company has been allied to the soil
and those who till the soil, and its
growth has been contemporaneous
with the evolution Of the western
farm. 1t has not prospeled except in
those periods when the farmer has
been prosperous, and its perception OF
the needs Of the land owner, as to rates
and facilities, has been the true secret
of whatever success it has attained !;
it's history is the history Of the build
ing of the west.
Value of Administration
''Some one has said that next to the
question of economy in administration,
there are just three points in railroad
ing-terminals in cities, the rate sheet
and how to get trains over the road.
Iowa farmers and business men are in
The Conservative, 1902-01-09

ASho oHdU ultty duu w tlo Speeu, COm-
fort and safety of passengers, and to ex-
pedition in the carriage Of freight, must
be tried and adopted, if it proves to be q
success. If some Edison, or Marconi or
Tesla shall perfect an electric locomo-
tive that is better and cheaper trac-
tion machine than the present steam en-
gine, the Burlington will adopt it, and
operate it's road by electricity. That is
the Burlington way.
IF there are ambitious rivals, cherish.
ing the view that the Burlington will
some day lose the fast mail because it
fails to keep up with the times in the
matters Of roadbed and equipment,
there are plenty of business men in AL
bia competent to advise them not to lay
that fattering junction to their souls.
"Now, if you will allow me, I will
speak Of one more characteristic of the
Burlington-its policy towards the men
who work for it.
ga railroad is not simply two strips of
steel with some cars and locomotives to
run over them it is a complicated busi-
ness mechanism, demanding the anxious
thought and study of many minds. It
is every day and every hour in the day,
what its management makes of it. 1t is
not clock that can be wound up and
will then run of itself, keeping time and
showing good results. Good service on
railroad means unremitting attention
| to details, and such attention can only
be expected from corps Of willing,
faithful and contented employees. FL
deity from employees Of any large COR
poration is always stimulated by pol
icies in it's management which recog-
nize merit for its own sake, and that
railroad is most successfully managed
on which ability and not personal or po-
litical pull secures promotion, and
where the humblest worker may hope
for advancement to the higher honor, if
by the test of years he is found worthy.
"Where do you find this country over,
railroad which offers better illus
tration of this enlightened policy than
the Burlington? Call the roll Of those
who at this moment are in it's active
management, and you will find that,
practically without exception, they have
come up from the ranks, and reached
their places step by step upward, and
after many years of apprenticeship.
There surely can be no improperly in
my referring briefly to their successful
careers as proof of this policy.
"Mr. Perkins, who for the past twenty
years has been president, began his
services with the company in 1859, at
nineteen years Of age, as clerk in the

CONGREGA-
T|oNAL CHURCH
FAIR.

The annual Congregational churcl
fair gotten up by the Ladies Aid So
ciety Of that church opened last even
ing in Miles hall with large attend
ance, a beautiful display Of fancy art
icles and gorgeously decorated ball
The ladies are all highly pleased with
the success Of the first evening and
they have good reason to be proud Of
their achievement.
1t is the universal opinion that
Miles hall has never been more ar
tistically decorated than it is now.
The soft blending of colors would
delight the eye Of professional ar.
tist. The side Of the hall in the rear
of the platform is arranged so as to
add greatly to the general appearance,
the same being draped with light
blue bunting and the inscription,
welcome" at the top. The booths
are prettily arranged about the hall
and are draped with various harmoni-
GUS colors.
On entering the door at which Miss
Emma Hopkins presides as treasurer
the first booth to attract the visitor is
the candy booth where Mrs. George
N. Tilden, Mrs. c. M. Wiley, Mrs. H.
G. Woodruff and Mrs. James A. Hall
dispense all kinds of bonbons. They
had an enormous sale last evening
and trade at this stand is bound to
grow.
Next on the right is the refreshment
corner where Mrs. J. w. Jackson and
Mrs. o. S. Cheney sell all kinds Of
light refreshments. Adjoining this
is the very pretty floral booth presid.
ed over by Mrs. w. H. Hoisington,
Mrs. E. A. Drown and Mrs. Adaa
Badger. The apron booth attracted
many customers last night and they
were graciously waited upon by Mrs.
F. j. Martin, Mrs. F. B. Cate and
Mrs. F E. Langley.
The principal feature OF the whole
is very unique contrivance called
;"The Hungry Goose. This occupies
. corner by itself and it has .
large and interested crowd about 1t.
1t consists of curtain suspended
about ten feet high and from the Gen.
ter OF it protrudes huge goose into
whose mouth go many iive cent pieces,
the contributors receiving some kind
Of present every time they feed
the goose.
In the opposite corner is the lemon.
ade stand presided over by Mrs. a.
A. Phelps. Next to this is the fancy
table where Mrs Fred Fisher, Miss
Harriet Chandler and Mrs. Fred Rog-
ers dispense of all sorts OF pretty
knicknacNs to make the home attrac.
tive. The Souvenir booth is in charge
of Mrs. Fritz Jackson and Mrs. b. H.
Mcleod. Mrs. c. n. Kent and Mrs.
A. A. Sargent are the clerks at the
Miscellaneous booth and articles for
domestic use are sold by Mrs E. N.
Philbrick, Miss Mabel Winch and Mrs.
J. E. Gi1in.
The ladies, with MS. N D. Phelps,
the president, in charge, have put
great deal Of hard work into the ar.
and decorations and their
Efforts will surely be rewarded.
A very pleasing entertainment was
given last evening and similar pro.
gram will be given each night. The
school children under the direction of
Mrs. A. w. Allen, sang three times,
David Dickie sang twice and the
Boys orchestra rendered selections
throughout tie evening.
