SANTA FE
One of Biggest Railroad Deals in
Recent Years Said to Have
Been Closed
BY HARTMAN AND OIL MEN
Forty Millions Reported to Have Been
Expended on Stock in Few
Days.

Chicago. Feb. S.-The greatest vic
tory in the history of railroad mergers
became known here yesterday. 1t is
stated on good authority that E. H.
Hartman, aided by the Standard Oil
and Vanderbilt interests, has bought
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe ran
way system.
Forty Millions Paid.
About s4O.OOO.OOO were laid down
for Santa Fe stock within a few days.
This is owing to the fact that the gi-
gantic syndicate is said to include Har-
riman as the active head, also the
great Rockefeller and Vanderbilt in
terests, a combination that has unlim-
tied capital.
The sweeping of the Santa Fe into
gigantic railway merger is said to be
the most important single railroad
stroke in years.
Knocks Competition.
1t regains from competition against
the syndicate headed by the Standard
Oil crowd the last real central rail
competition and gives to this ANAL
gamation two direct lines from coast
to coast.
All this will be developed at the
next meeting of the Santa Fe directors.
There is now no serious barrier to
the spreading of the great merger with
its 100000 miles of track and over a
billion dollars of capitalization to the
control of the transportation facilities
of the central part of North America.
Frick and Rogers on Board.
New York. Feb. S.-H. c. Frick and
H. II. Rogers were elected directors of
the Santa Fe railway at the board of
directors meeting here today. 1t is
understood they enter the Atchison as
REPRESENTATIVES of the Union PACIFIC.

III our education does not deal with
the social element, then we are losing
the grand aim of our efforts. And
where other than in the child does
our consideration Of culture center?
We can not put new wine in old bot
ties. We connot change the natures
OF matureness and make them wholly
susceptible to these inward changes
which are Of such mighty magnitude.

the coming generation to turn its

future, the child and the children of
the child and still farther, to which
we must work for great results. But
about us we see now such indications
as lift our hearts up to hope of ulti-
mate success. The signs of the times
show an awakening among the states

just this sort of culture. Grafters

what is its great aimY Is it to tit the

What constitute manners are
those modes of action which are char.

/ take it school room manners mean
that conduct and spirit in the school
room exercised toward the child's
education, which will ground him in
such modes of action and thought as
will become characteristic of him.
The phrase carrying on oneself"
means much. Manners are something
else than the conduct of one toward
another, they constitute all the
actions of self whether alone or in
company. If this be true then man
ners express the real self. The de-
ceiving politcness or prudish conven-
tionaljty Is part Of bad manners.
In the end this prudery and show, all
the emptiness and insincerity OF man,
force the belief that beneath all good
manners is the very firm foundation,
respect for others rights; upon which
is built superstructure of amiable
conduct, a conduct that shows the
manner of man one is.

Influences.

And here may be mentioned some of
the influences which exercise in be-

does not hope to discuss them all by any
means; but only the great ones, such
as, for instance, the home, commrade-
ship, national affairs and, above all.

the Others must be passed lightly. No
doubt the home, with its constant
presence about the child, its affection

child with its manners I'm most last

its training, whether that training be
good or bad. In the cultured home
little fault may by found IN its
methods Of training, and therefore il
Is well that the manners of that home

hope to do the work which we trust
will result in the future uplift. There
home training, far from being derog-
atory to culture, Graves it but has il
not. Then again, many homes exert
influences which are decidedly bad.
Such manners must not cleaye to the
child If the child Is TO become a free
citizen; they corrupt the respect which
exists in the heart of every child.
Mention need scarce be made to the
influences Of comradeship. How
often we realize that IL Johnny could
be kept from Willie he would grow to
be much better boy, and vice versa.
What mighty influence public men

youth. One cannot conceive of the
energy President Roosevelt stirs up
within young America.
