NEWS FROM ALL
THE RAILROADS
Consolidation of Lines May Be
Dissolved
FRISCO-ROCK ISLAND DEAL
Items of Interest About Differ
ent Employees.
ISLAND DEAL

Acting ir pursuance with the decision
yesterday handed down by the supreme
court in the Northern Securities case.
the department of justice, acting under
the instructions Of the president, will
shortly institute suit against the Rock
Island TO compel the dissolution of a
consolida ton, made nearly one year ago,
of the Arkansas and Gulf, the ST. Louis
and San Francisco and the Rock Island
railroads. together with many smaller
lines. The Rock Island has. within the
last eighteen months. purchased the
Choctaw and Frisco systems. These sys-
TENS were the principal competitors of
the Rock Island in the southwest.
Because of this competition. it is pointed
out at the department of justice, the
Rock Island purchased the two competi
tive systems. thereby consolidating the
railroads and controlling almost absolute
~ the freight and passenger rates in
the southwest. The only competitor now
in that section is the Santa Fe road, and
it has been common rumor that negotia-
lions are pending for the consolidation
of the Rock Island and this line. Tn
doubtedly the action of the federal court
in the merger case has thrown damper
over the proposed deal and had its effect
in postponing matters until the court
had either sustained or disapproved the
decision of the lower court. At any rate,
it is said that since the consolidation Of
the Frisco, Choctaw and Rock Island,
competition in these districts has been
practically destroyed The consolidation
of these roads is held to be in violation
of the interstate commerce law and, I'M
der the decision of the court yesterday,
is in restraint of trade.

The ISSUE

Lac great problem of money
though as vital as ever. has been rel
egated TO the rear by unheard of dis
cuveries Of gold. Democrats are as
positive as in '9G that their ideas
ON the quantitative theory Of money
are correct and we know from the
nature Of things that the issue must
come up again, but not this year.
Imperialism is as dangerous, as
unsolved, as msolvable as it was in
1900. No man is good enough to
govern another man without that
other man consent, said Lincoln
and while Lincoln might have lived
30 learn Of Teddy, we believe he was
right and that no nation can exist as
body Of freemen which hold the
declaration of Independence in one
hand and continually v governs an
alien people with the other. Yet a
moral question can not be made sue
cessiul as political plank unless it
rs accompanied by a horrible exam
pile. The example is undoubtedly
incubatlng, but until the chicken
comes home to roost democracy must
bide its time and should not hold this
issue 10 the fore.
