All THERE GALL THY SYNONYM is X c.
When the more acute of future generation shall
be searching for all around synonym for gall fol
some al-comprehepsive name symbol for robbery
for an emblem of the hog is possible in the human
thew will find it in that OF Kansas City Missouri For an
aggregation of unconscionable tolakers, excep
tonal selection Of coers exempacation Of inordf
nate sefshness selfshness bndfoded and conscience
scared commend us that Kawaouth Octopus founded
as the rendezvous Of bushwhakers and the refugecty
OF trainrobbers. whose commercial club would inter
vene" if an angel trying to escape from hell into
heaven unless each winged seraph was first run through
Kansas Cty's Ivestock-yards pork packing houses or
grain elevator If Kansas City had stood for the Re
deemer on mount with the Devil she would not ony
have fallen down worshpped the boss OF the brin-
stone trust but she would have canonzed his satanic
maiestys skin cut up his caude appendapge and sold 1t
cut as pgta and utilized his horns for gall bottles
Our warrant for the foregoing modest delineaton Of
the commercial funnel which is also esteemed to be the
entire barrel the bunghoe included by its promoters,
will be found in the latest Intervention filed by that
towns livestock leeches against the St Louis San
Francisco railroad which document goes on to
show that many thousand loads of Kansas
cattle and of Oklahoma cattle and of Texas cat
tie are being by that road. diverted from Kan
sas City from the that the said road refuses to
raise its eastbound rates live stock to figure which
will force the said cattle to the markets of the world via
Kansas City stockyards. No reader should be fooled
into taking this complaint joke nor as an exaggera
ton in retaliation the City Commercial clubs
petition to the Interstate Commerce Commission to
no attention TO Wchtas complaint Of discrimination.
Nothing of the kind 1t is an actual that blinded by
its greed and caoused Of its longtime cDch all that
Kansas has produced. the whining demand quoted was
made and is have hearing today in Kansas City, by
8 committee of traffic managers or freight agents.
When it is recalled that the Frisco road is ST. Louis
railway originally built largely, by St Louis money and
in the interest of that city its main lines reach Texas
traverses Indian Oklahoma Territories and has
for years been principal and west trunk line Of
South Kansas the Arkansas river that until
quite recently did touch the Missouri river basng
line and only by purchased spur this complaint
of Kansas City becomes simply idiotc In other words,
because of its direct line, and of its Mississippi
river ntersects Frisco does haul the South
Kansas and Oklahoma farmers cattle markets
at cheaper rate with better profit both rail
and through Kansas Cnty, the demand is made
that the Frisco advance its schedule rates to
the point that the Frisco will lose the traffic,
and the cattle raiser his advantage of direct line to
St Louis and the east only that Kansas City may
enabled collect its commission off every hoof raised
of the Missouri That's all there is in the COM
plant and if were President and General Manager
of the Frisco system would summary bounce the
traffic manager who dared to join Kansas City in
scheme thus divert from the Frisco the tonnage belong
ing to it With just much fairness and logic
could Kansas City appeal the Interstate Commerce
Commission for order directing the Southern Pacific
to consgn its Arizona cattle Texas cattle to Kansas
City and the Nothern Pacific cattle
through these same Kansas City yards.
Everybody laughed when the Kansas City Commercial
club mpudently and ostentatiously INTERVIEWED" a
protest to the Interstate Commerce Commission warn
ing said authority grant Wichita rights because
1t might hurt Kansas City; but this goes step
farther in that logically demands that the Frisco quit
shipping cattle go business in the interest Of
the commission and nvesock-yards of the sni Hills
hog hog that has had its up its eyes in the
slOp of the trough so long that it has gone blind.
The Kansas City papers OF Sunday announced that
F. G. Dumbeck and Earl S Smith, of the Frisco had
promised the Kansas City cattle combine that the Frisco
would advance its Southern Kansas Oklahoma cattle
rate from TO So This would of course be trans
ferrng just much Of the pockets the farmer who
raises the cattle the pockets of the Kansas City out
1T We do not believe that any such promise was made
but made it ought to be vetoed by the Frisco manage
ment
