LIKE AN APPLE
The Prosperity OF the railroad and
of the People.


Ofthe People.
a. 3. Stickney is railroad presi-
dent who is in favor of the government
regulating rates. Addressing thecom-
mercial league of Minnesota a few
days ago Mr.. Stickney advanced a
new idea abcui "watel" in the value of
property. He said:
"The prosperity of the railways
and the prosperity of the people are
as indissolubly bound together as the
two halves of the growing apple. Cut
them asuuder, destroy the prosperity
of the one, and the prosperity of the
other will wither.
"In the discussiyn of the railroad
problem much is made by some advO-
Gates of legislative control of the wa
ter which the capitalization of many
railroad companies contain. 1t is well
known that the capital value of the
farms and other fixed property of the
nation contains about one part of ac-
tual cash cost to ten or more parts of
water, which exceeds by many fold
tire ratio of cash to water in the
proudest reorganized railway compa-
MES. Farms and other fixed property,
with capital containing one part of
cash 10 ten or more parts of water
are permitted to earn interest if they
can-and they generally do-upOn
their entire capital value, water as
we'll as cash, and as long as the ma
jOrity of the universal partnerships
are permitted to earn dividends on the
larger proportion of water in the
capital value of their property all
fair-minded men must admit that it
would be unfair for them to provide
by the law that the minority partners
should not earn dividends on the
smaller proportion of water in their
capital value.
''Increa sed capital value of the farm
has not increased the earnings of the
farm. But it is slightly increased
earnings and the large decrease in in
terest rates for money in the last twen-
ty years which has so enormously in
creased the capital value of the farm
andOther property, as well as railway
property. Hence, there is nothing in
the 'watered' stock argument which
fair-minded men will regard as justifi-
cation of legislative control of rail
way rates"
President Stickney declared that the
real foundation of liberty was fair
distribution of property in the hands
the people and no monOpOlies in trade.
sit is my conclusion, " he said that
because railways have assumed the
common law obligation of common
carriers, have volu ltarily sub
jected their property to public use,
it is fair and right to control their
rates by law, and because railways are
monopolies the law of self-preserva-
ton, as we'll as fairness and justice,
demands that the people, through the
government, should control railway
rates by law. Such laws, however, in
order to be fair and effective, must be
intelligent and directed to the substan-
tial facts, which are the basis for rea-
sonable rates. At present the basis of
reasonable rates and just rates is I'M

KEMP A BOY OF TRUE GRIT.
Starts from New York TO College
With Three Cents in His Pocket.


With Three Cents in His Pocket.
There is boy in the College of Fine
Arts and Sciences of the University of
Kansas who is going to make man
of himself if he can keep his courage
up to the point he now has it, His
name is Harry Hubbard Kemp. Three
weeks ago he had three cents in his
pocket and was in New York. He de-
cided to go to college, and having
read some of Professor w. H. Car
ruth's books on German grammar and
composition he selected the Univer-
sity of Kansas as the place for his
studies. He got from New York to
Lawrence on the brake beams of
freight trains.
1t was dark when he knocked at the
professors door and told him his
story. The frank face of the boy i'm
pressed Professor Carruth and he told
him to come to the university next day
and he would see what could be done
for him. The professor gave him a
dollar and told him to get good
nights sleep.
Before the offices opened next morn
ing he presented himself at the regis
trar's door. He told them that he did
not have a cent, but was willing to
work. Treasurer W. Z. Folks was
impressed, and told hinn he would &c
him work on the university grounds.
Later he entered the university as
special student, taking Horace's Odes,

Charles T. Yerkes was always
known as a man who knew business
to the last word. A little incident that
befell a Chicago man who thought that
he had invented a great thing shows
how this trait of Mr.. Yerkes showed
itself, says the Chicago Tribune. This
inventor had never thought out and
patented anything that had made his
name a household word, but he was
young and full of confidence. Having
given some thought to the subject upon
which he approached Mr.. Yerles, he
was full Of his topic and was ready
to expatiate upon its merits for hours
at a time He gained admission to
Mr.. Yerkes' Chicago office and met the
fnancier.
Mr. Yerkes," said he Il have here
a fine scheme. We can make lots Of
money out of it. There must be thou
sands in It,"
"Yes?" asked the street railway man
tentatively.
Eyes. Ny scheme is to put perforat-
ed boards in the tunnels through which
your cars run and have the light shine
through them and make the tunnel one
long signboard. III sell you the Sc
cret."
"How much"
The man named his figure. Mr..
Yerkes drew down his brows and of
fered quarter OF the amount.
But it's my sign idea," urged the in
ventor.
"But they are my tunnels" replied
Mr.. Yerkes, and that remark closed the
negotiations. Without the tunnels the
scheme was worth as much as it would
cost to buy paper with which to eX-
plain it.
Mr.. Yerkes, of London and Chicago
traction fame, was famed IN Chicago
for his iron nerve, says the New York
Tribune. When the Moore Bros. failed
in August, 1896, a group of bankers
met at the house Of P. D. Armour TO
discuss the financial situation, render
ed additionally precarious by the
amount Of Yerkes paper afioat. 1t IS
a valued Chicago story that Mr.. Yerkes'
himself wearing q stiff little straw Eat
with a gaudy ribbon attached, saluted
the solemn faced group Of fnanclers
with the breezy remark, '"Thls IS the
largest collection Of straw hats L ever
saw at a funeral" He urged that the
Stock Exchange be closed outright, and
when it's governors hesitated at the
boldness Of the suggestion he declared
Every we'll, open for business tomor-
row, and you will close many of the
banks of Chicago before tomorrow
