THE CHANGE IN THE 'KATx.'


It looks very much as though Mr.
James J. Hill has added much to his
success as a railroad magnate by Sc
curing control of the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas system. BY doing so Mr.. Hill
enters territory entirely new to him, but
in which originates much of the traffic
for which he has been reaching.
One of Hills great hobbies-the OBJ
ject for which he is most earnestly
striving-is to build up big trade with
the Orient. He sees in Japan and China
tremendous market for American
goods, but it has to be developed. And
there is probably no greater developer
of commerce in America than James J.
H.!l.
One of Americas products which the
Orient promises to use to a great extent
is cotton, and Hill has already been de-
veloping the cotton market in Japan.
He has made rates whereby exporters
could ship cotton to the northwest
where Hills lines would take it up and
carry it across the continent to the Pa
eifie and Hills steamships would thence
take it across the Pacific to Japan.
Now Mr.. Hill has bought a railroad
of his own right into the heart of the
cotton country. Beginning at Kansas
City the katy extends south through
the Indian Territory and Texas to the
Gulf of Mexico at Galveston. Tt also
reaches st. Louis on the northeast and
Junction City, Kan, on the northwest,
but the territory from which Hill viii
draw his principal traffic will be further
south. His lines reach into the rich
territory of eastern Oklahoma, they
cover central and eastern Texas and ex-
tend over into Louisiana.
At Kansas City the Katy" connects
with the Burlington, one of Mr.. Hn's
present roads, and through that it not
only reaches Chicago and the north, but
it also has a short cut to Billings,
Mont, and thence to the Pacific and
the Orient.
Mr.. Hill has therefore acquired an
outlet which gives him practically an
ocean-to-ocean system. He can take
European traffic direct from the ships
at Galveston and carry i in his own
cars and ship direct to the far east.
Heretofore Hill and Hartman have
almost controlled the Pacific trade. the
former in the northwest, the latter in
the southwest. Now Hill has entered
Harriman's territory in the south and
their war will probably be carried on
more vigorously than ever.

THE FTFTH's HIRED MAN.

me attitude of a considerable portion
OF the Republicans Of the Fifth congress
sionat district towards CONGRESSMAN
Calderhead is aptly illustrated BY the
Concordia Kansan. Mr.. Davies, the edf-
tor OF the Kansan, points out that
person would not hire a lawyer who he
heved that they had the wrong side Of
a case and for the same reason thew do
not wish to be represented in congress
by a man who does not represent their
views.
Very likely the majority of the people
of almost any congressional district care
little who represents them SO long as
the representative is honest and decent
and actually represents their views. No
one Will deny for a moment that Mr.
Calderhead is both honest and decent.
but he is certainly not in harmony with
his people on the railroad regulation
proposition. He declares that a railroad
is as much private property as is q
farm, and the government has no bust
ness interfering with its management.
The people of the Fifth district believe
differently. In this instance the people
are the employer, and an employer al
ways expects his hired men to work for
his interests and not against them.
The attitude OF Senator Charles N.
Peck Of Cloud county towards the con-
gressional contest in the Fifth is what
brings out the discussion by the kan
san. Senator Peck is looked upon as
one Of the probable candidates against
Mr.. Calderhead for the Republican nom
ination next year. and in speaking of
him the Kansan says:
TT is a delicate position in which MT.
Peck and his friends in this county
are placed, They are not antagonistic
to Mr.. Ca1derheaa. They are not his
political enemies Who seek by any
means, fair or foul, to dislodge him from
his position in congress. he has so honor
ably maintained for years. There is no
fight on Calderhead in this county for
acts Of omission or Of commission. SO

far as we know. There is, however, a
dissatisfaction concerning his attitude
on the position which win be uppermost
IN the next session Of congress. The
great majority Of the Republicans OF
this district are with President Roose-
Welt in his purpose to secure railroad
legislation to remedy existing evils and
determinations. Mr.. Calderhead does
not evidently reflect these views IN ms
own. They have a right to retire Mr..
Ca1derhead because he will not DO Whlt
they desire DONE and select a man 70
represent them in congress, Who VIII re-
fleet their sentiments and who VIII sup
port the president and the people IN
their reasonable demands in the way OF
railroad legislation. That is all there IS
to it. You wouldn't hire lawyer 70
appear for you in court, If he should ten
you your suit was unjust, wrong IN prlh-
ciple and you ought to be defeated-you
will not want to send a man to represent
YOU in congress who tells you you doh
know what you want and he's against
YOU. Senator Peck is Outspoken IN ms
views in this matter. He IS unaItefapiy
with the views of President RooseVeiI.
He is absolutely clear as to his DUTY 20
the people, should he be called on 70
act in a legislative capacity IN a eoaI Issl
such as is imminent in congress IN the
