WHO OWNS THE RAILROAD.

just now, while railroads rate re-
gulaton is the all important topic,
and while our president is battling
against the corporate greed, which
greed is 30 ably represented in our
national legislature by majority of
the upper house information relative,
to the ownership and management
of the great railroad systems is of
interest to all readers. The Arlington
Sun digs up the following:
"The railroad rate legislation, which
obsorbed SO much time before the
late session of congress, has aroused
public interest in the present status
of the roads of this country as has
never probably been aroused before.
Il is a stupenduous thing to contem.
plate that ten men absolutely con-
troll three fourths OF all the railroads
in United States, yet this is case, and
these three-forths comprise all the
roads that amount to anything in the
commercial New World. The Stand
ard. Oil. Hartman system, controlled
by four men, John d. Rockefeller,
w. X. Vanderbilt, L. H. Hartman
and H. Fl. Rogers, control all the
systems which touch South Dakota,
except the Great Northern; namely
the Northwestern, Milwaukee, and
Illinois Central, and in addition to
these, they control the Union Pacific;
Oregon, r. NJ; Oregon Short Line,
Southern Pacific, Atchison, Topeka,
4 Santa Fe; Missouri, Kansas a Tex
as; New York Central, Lake Shore,

The Washington correspondent to
the St. Louis Globe Democrat says
ten menin the senate shape of the leg
islatioD and are the controlling pow
er. The same authority states that
Senator Kittrodge is one of the ten.
The Argus-Leader acknowledges the
compliment to the senator in the
following pa ragraph:
South Dakota will be pleased to note
the high position which Senator Kilt
redge has taken in the greatest legisla-
| tive body in the world. With one other
exception the names in the list are those
of men who have served for years in that
body. Allison has seen thirty-two years
of service, Aldrich, twenty-four years,
Frye, twenty-four, Spooner, twenty-five,
Hale, twenty-four, Platt, twenty-six,
Lodge, twelve, Cullom, twenty-five.
Beveridge, has been in the senate only
five years and Rittridge but three. 1T is
the first time in the history of this state
that South Dakota senator has won his
way into the charmed circle of the senate
But wouldn't it appear better for
Kittredge if he was not credited with
being one of the charmed circle. !"
South Dakota voters have endorsed
Roosevelt and his policies. The SEN
ate has arrayed itself against the
president and his policies, therefore
Kittridge, in help ing to shape the
policy of the senate, is not acting in
accord with the expressed wish of
his constituents. At that rate how
long would Kittredge remain in the
senate if the members of that body
were elected by direct vote of the
people? Would he dare to stand
against the interests of his consti--
tuents if he was compelled to go be-
fore them for an election by popu-
lar vote, instead of depending upon
thoroughly organized machine as
he does now? Kittredge is an able
man; all admit it. If he would stand
with the people, he could probably
spend the rest of his active life in
the senate. But it is no credit to stand
against his constituents, even if he
has has the fame attaching 10 yone who
belongs to the charmed circle. /"
The people want no charmed circle"
in theirs lit doesn't sound well in
connection with our form of gov.rn-
ment.

A STIR AMONG RAILROADS.

The determination Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee &c st. Paul railroad com
pany to extend its road from Cham
berlain, in this state, westward to Pu-
get sound is now SO strongly confirm
ed as to render the project almost a
certainty. The Press, this morning
contains some interesting informa.

dent on the subject of the extention
Of the Milwaukee, giving details that
have not heretofore been made pub

SCORED THE MACHINE.

The people of Lincoln county do
not uphold the rape of the constitu
ton. A mass meeting of citizens
was held at Canton recently when
the action of their representatives
was endorsed and the state machine
denounced. A dispatch gives the
following account of the meeting:
Canton. S. D., March ia mass meet.
ing of the citizens of Lincoln county was
held at the court house for the purpose of
indorsing the action of the members of
the state legislature from this county and
to express indignation for those mem
bers who secured the defeat of the pri
mary election law in the state senate. The
meeting was largely atterted and
speeches were made by several represen.
tative citizens, who scored the action OF
the legislature in overthrowing the petit
tition presented for primary election
law. All the speeches were enthusiastic
ally applauded.
Senator C.. II. Cassil charged that the
overthrow of the primary election petit
ton was due entirely to the action of the
machine (" He said that one of the meth
of the machine in carrying out its plans
had been to threaten certain members
antagonism in their political aspirations
and also with opposition to appropriations
that they were expecting. In this man
ner the appropriation for the Springfield
normal school was almost cut out of the
appropriation bill to punish Senator
Stephens of that place for voting against
the machine" on the primary petition
report,
| Senator Cassil declared that many un
fair methods were exercised by leading
republican party managers in their efforts
to defeat the election measure, one o
which was to keep the committee on rule:
of the senate from holding meetings
The report made by the committee, ht
said, was written by the attorneys of the
Standard Oil Company and the North
Western in this state.
Ringing resolutions were passed com
m ending the action of the legislator
from this county and denouncing al
those members who had been instrument
al in defeating the primary law petition
ed for in accordan ce with the provisions
Of the constitution.

PRESIDENT CASTRO, of Venezuela
has threatened to invade New Or.
leans with 10000 men. That reminds
us of the dirty dago that was to in
wade Florida during the late un.
pleasantness with Spain. Don't it
beat all what little horse sense is
displayed by the heads of some
dinky governments in this day and
age? The United States is by far
the hardest country to invade OF any
Of the larger powers. All the trans,
ports Of Europe could not land an
army on our eastern coast that could
get far enough inland TO get drink
of fresh water. Thirty thousand
men marching by land through the
Central American countries to invade
this country wouldn't show up as
good as thirty cents on the stock
exchange in New York City.

Michigan Central, Nickel Plate, Lake
Erie g. Western, Big Four, Lacka
wanna, and the Deleware a. Hudson.
IL will thus be seen that the Stand
ard Oil-Harriman interests control
the most important trade routes oi
of the great Northwest, together
with two of the great Pacific lines
and the principal link between the
North and the Gulf coast, lthe Illinois
Central) as well as two of the prin
cipal lines connecting the West with
the Atlantic coast.
"The other two roads which effect
our state are controlled by the Nor
gan Hill syndicate, and these two
men control nearly forty thousand
miles of road, as against sixty -thous-
and miles controlled by the Stand
ard Oil interests. A. j. Cassett
controls the Pennsylvania system,
with Il ,529 miles under the power of
his individual votes. George j,
Gould holds $4,000 in bis hands,
and the Rock Island system, compris
ing sixteen-thousand miles, is con
trolled by w. I'll. Moore and b. f.
Yoakum.
''These men control the commerce
ofthe country. They can not only die
tate prices, but they can dictate leg
lstlatlon. They not only control the
management of the railroads, and all
the interests which are dependent
upon the roads for their prosperity,
but they control the state Legislature
and the national Legislative bodies
which are supposed to control them.
1t is little wonder that this gigantic
consolidation of capital within the
hands Of less than a dozen men has
aroused the alarm of the entire coun-
try. 1t is the realization of the old
Populist fears of a dozen year ago,
that the country would fall into the
power of the railroad interests to the
extent that justice could not be ex-
acted from them. 1t is within the
last dozen years that these combina-
tions have been effected, and it seems
now likely that within very few years
all the railroads in this country will
be in the grasp of one combination,
working as a mammoth machine to
the furtherance of its own ends"

THE governorsbip of Colorado has
finally been settled. Adams, the
democrat, held the chair; Peabody
the republican contested. The leg
islature was in dilemma. From evi-
dence produced by the investigation
and contest it appeared that both
Adams and Peabody were corrupt
and that n justice neither one was
entitled to hold the Office. The only
way out Of the matter was for the
legislature to make bargain with
Peabody whereby he was to be the
rightful governor on the absolute
condition that he would Immediately
resign the position, which would
place the lieutenant governor IN
the executive chair. This proceed
ing, which, TO say the least, was
irregular, was carried out in full
by both parties and now Mcdonald
is governor of Colorado. The
end undoubtedly justified the means.

lain in view as Pacific extention
point.
The determination on the part oil
the Milwaukee to build westward to
the Pacific will stimulate the west
ward movement OF other compet-
ing railroads traversing portions oil

ready stirring itself, giving decided
symptoms of an intention to cross
the Missouri at Yankton and reach
out for southwestward connection
with the Burlington, which is prac.
tically part of the Great Northern
system aud the Northern Pacific
system.
The Burlington connects with the
Northern Pacific at Billings, Mont,
running through the Black Hills re-
gion, giving it direct line to Puget
sound. the destination of the Mil
waukee.
The railroad extentions of the
coming year will be of great impor.
tance to South Dakota, giving it
Pacific outlets likely TO prove of com-
mercial and agricultural value. The

draw the products of Nebraska west

IT is a matter OF some surprise
that Congressman Martin voted TO
pay himself something like 500
mileage for coming home between
the regular and special sessions of
congress, especially as he had TO
make the round trip between Wash
ing and the Black Hills in less than
twenty four hours, if he had made
it at all. But the fact is that our con-
gressmen remained ia Washington
and simply voted to graft that much
from the treasury. So far as princi-
pie is concerned he might as we'll
have voted to pay himself million.

A PROJECT that is causing conside r
able enthusiasm among the farme re
in the extreme southwestern portion
OF the state is that of establishing an
electric railroad from Sioux City to
Violin. The farmers are to be made
part owners of the road, each one
paying into the company $l.00 per
acre and taking stock to that am cunt.
AT Violin the electric train is to con.
meet with the Northwestern and
Great Northern lines. We hope the
scheme materializes. II it does, il
will be the beginning OF line that
should, reach way up into the coal
fields of North Dakota. We believe
such line would pay well in time
II would solve the fuel question for
Dakotans TO large extent and also
open up a cheaper freight route for
a considerable part OF our produce
AS the cost OF building and operat-
ing an electric line is far less than

could be run out and tap the larg-

regions Of the state. Such road
might easily connect with river trans
