MATHEMATICS THAT FAILS.
The Journal Democrat Tries to Fig
ger Out Another Railroad.

The Journal-Democra figures Ii out
with mathematical exactness that the
Rock Island connection with the San.
ia Fe. must be built to Albuquerque,
Unfortunately, mathematics may be
utilized to prove that two and one
make four. II the major premise 0f
the Journal Democrat were true, II
might follow that the solution of the
railroad problem advanced by the
Journal-Democrat "is solution that
solves" This premise Is that Presi
dent Ripley said to Globe-Democrai
reporter that the Rock Island and
Santa Fe would have the joint use Of
the Santa Fe tracks from Albuquer
que to the Pacific coast"
The Journal Democrat is unfortu
nate in jumping to the conclusion that
the railroad reports Of the Globe.Dem
ocrat, which OF late have been prolific
are invariably correct. Several days
after the Globe-D Democrat report Wa
published. Mr.. Ripley said 10 Chi
caso Tribune reporter. "I'1l tell 20,
something about the railroad situatior
and I want you to put down my word'
verbatim.
No trsckase arrangements Of an,
kind have ~ yet been made with ths

may yet be completed BY means o.
which the Rock Island will use oui
