AMARILLO REJOICING.

mass meeting assembled, raised
the balance of the money neces-
sary to secure the Santa Fe
branch line from Panhandle, also
division point, temporarily.
The News says a division
point temporarily" because
Avery Turner, official head of
the Southern Kansas and Pecos
Valley department of the Santa
Fe, in his open letter to Amarillo,
published in the Daily Panhan-
die of last Saturday, said:
Il offered the Amarillo Com
mercial Club what was then the
full value of property required
for divisional terminal here, But
DISTINCTLY STATED THAT IT WAS
WITHOUT ANY OBLIGATION TO
MAINTAIN THEM HERE
In this Mr.. Turner was refer
ring to the amount the railroad
was to pay for the shop grounds
proper. S15, 900, the remainder
for the right-of-way, Amarillo to
Panhandle, to be paid by ANA
rillo. From this it clearly stands
out, first, that the railroad com
pany pays for the terminal
grounds out of its own money,
and second, that said railroad is
under no obligation to maintain
such terminals there for any
period of time.
How then, in the face of this
statement by Mr.. Turner. to say
nothing whatever of the illogical
position of a great railroad going
so far out of its natural course,
can Amarillo or any one else say,
as the Panhandle does, that the
Santa Fe shop proposition is set
tled:"
But, aside from this shop ques-
ton, Amarillo has reason to re
iOicp even for the branch line
The shops they cannot hope to
hold, Notwithstanding this tenn
porary advantage. 1T was only
by the hardest kind of effort, in
the face Of the strongest kind of
opposition. that Vice President
Turner succeeded in having the
company consider Amarillo as
the point for the proposed i'm
provements, says the Daily
Panhandle. And, such being so,
is it not flying in the face of com
mon sense to say that Amarillo
has anything like a cinch. Mr..
Turner himself, the avowed
friend and champion of Amarillo,
says not. Amarillo is rejoicing,
nevertheless, she has the branch
line and hopes to keep for all
time the divisional terminal"
and her cup Of happiness is full
even to outpouring on her less
favored nabors. On this last
point the Daily Panhandle says:
While Amarillo will be the i'm
mediate and greatest beneficiary, !
our smaller sisters in all direc-
tons will come in for a share of
the benefits. We are proud of
Canyon, our enterprising neigh /
Dor on the south, for her pluck .
and energy. Had we failed in
our task she was ready to step
in and carry off the rich prize.
She has every right to aspire to
greatness that We can claim, and
all honor TO -her' for her manly
efforts and aspirations.
Canyon City does not begrudge
Amarillo the branch line from
Panhandle, but she never will, so
.ong as chance offers and it seems
TO be as good today as ever, give
up the fight for what by nature
md by sound business judgment
she is entitled to-the Panhandle
main shops and round houses Of
.he Santa F'e.

An Appeal TO the President.


business, the National bankers built up huge
sky-scraper whose foundation is the small end
of the pyramid.
On one dollar of real money these greedy
gentlemen, who rallied against the fifty cent
dollar of Constitutional silver money, based
credit currency of ten to one.
Crying fercey for Sound Money" they
struck down the financial system of hun
dred years.
Furiously denouncing the "Free Silver
cranks," they changed the Constitution of the
Fathers, without asking the consent of the
States, and by a Treasury ruling, followed
up by Act of Congress, they illegally created
a Gold Reserve, Gold Standard, and a Credit
Currency, when the supreme law of the land
as interpreted by the highest Court-had es-
tablished the system of Gold, Silver and Treas
ury notes.
The Gold and Silver were to be coined on
equal terms, and the Treasury notes were to
be issued as needed.
Thus, the elasticity feature was introduced
into the original Constitutional system of our
Fathers.
The precious metals were to be coined as
they were dug from the mines and offered
at the mints.
Treasury notes were to be issued IN emer-
gencies.
This Treasury note feature gave to the orig
inal system all the elasticity that it was safe
to give.
Thus, Mr. Jefferson issued Treasury notes
at the period of the Louisiana Purchase.
Mr.. Madison issued Treasury notes during
the War of 1872.
President Jackson issued them after his over
throw of the National Bank.
Mr.. Lincoln issued them during the Civil
War.
But the National Bankers dominate the gov
ernment and these modest gentlemen have
always bitterly opposed the Treasury notes.
Why?
Because they want their own notes to fur
nish the elasticity feature of the Currency
System.
Again, why?
Because they want the compound interest on
these notes of theirs. Could anything be more
evident?
Out of sordid and grasping selfshness, there
fore, the National banks set in to destroy the
Treasury notes issued under Mr. Lincoln and
they caused to be burned up nearly two thou
sand million dollars of National notes before
President Grant put his foot down and made
them stop it.
In the place of the millions of destroyed
Treasury notes, the National banks at once
slipped credit currency Of various sorts.
Upon this, they have earned enormously, in
Compound interest
They so hate the Treasury notes that they
have been persistently endeavorng to drive
Congress into ordering the destruction of the
remaining $346,ooo,ooo Of Grsenbacks which
General Grant saved.

the brink of ruin, are clamoring for an "elas-
tic currency"-but they demand monopoly

They must be permitted to furnish the elias
tics.
They must have the Compound interest.
They must be invested with the tremendous
power of expansion and contraction.
They must be left in such full control of the
financial situation that every succeeding Pres
ident must be made to feel that the New York
banks hold the government in their power, Just
as President Cleveland felt it.
my God, Oates, the banks have got the gov
ernment by the leg!"
Think of President putting up a poor
mouth like thatl
Humiliating to the last degree is situation
in which our Chief Executive trembles before
the banks
Recreant to his trust is the President who
fails to use the powers invested in him by the
Constitution to save his people in Just such
crisis.
Away with the illegal, contemplate make
shift of Clearing House Certificates.
They add Insult to injury.
There is no law for them.
They are an outrage upon innocent millions
of people whose money has been unlawfully
used by high-fnance criminals
Give us the relief which the Constitution
of the United States provides.
GIVE US TREASURY NOTES.
The Supreme Court declared that they came
within the true intent and meaning of the Con-
stitution. That decision has never been over
ruled. Therefore, it is law.
You are not afraid of the New York bank
ers, are you Mr.. Roosevelt?
You will not echo the cowardly whine of
Grover Cleveland, will you, Mr. Roosevelt?
A lusty young fellow who persistently kept
out of the War by hiring substitute, as the
robust, unmarried Grover Cleveland did, was
not expected to have courage of the real sort
but you went where the bullets sang, Mr.
Roosevelt.
You didn't dread the smell of powder.
You proved that you had grit.
Therefore, you are not afraid of the male
factors of great wealth." who have rioted in
reckless methods.
You will face them, as Andrew Jackson did
You will drive the National banks off the
government reservation.
You will take back into governmental con-
troll the sovereign prerogative of coming
money.
No King ever allowed subject to coin mon
That's royal prerogative.
And Our Supreme Court has said that when
Our Fathers used the word "coin money" they
meant create money, and that the money could
be created out of any material the government
saw fit to adopt.
Here is the Big Stick with which to slay
the monster Panic.
Here is the Club with which to hammer the
Unsuitable dragon of Compound interest
USE 1T, MR.. PRESIDENT!
Don't let the bankers get You "by the leg"
Don't whine and surrender, as Cleveland did.

memory goes back with the battle of
plattsburgh. He distinctly recalls hear

1909. His parents were English and
among the first settlers in the town.
Young Bidwell worked on the farm and
went 10 school with the rest Of the
boys in the neighborhood. He grew up
strong ia body and mind. His school
DAYS were over at the age Of is. and
during the winter terms of 1s30-32 he
taught district school. During this
time he relates that there was a relig-
ious revival in the town. when he was
converted. A year later he attended the
lHnesburgh academy, and the same year
was admitted into the Methodist church
on probation for six months. Subse-
quently he Joined in full connection.
Two tragic events have marked his

COOPERATIVE INDUSTRIES.
Why Those Managed by WorkingmeR
Sometimes FaiI--A Case In Point.

Why Those Managed by Wcrkingrien
Sometimes Fail--A Case In Point.
AT one time there were half hum
dred cooperative window glass COM
panies formed By the workingmen in
the Indiana gas belt. It is reported
that practically all Of these undertake
ings have failed 50 far as known not
one Of them ever made money. The
cause of the failures was in the mex
perlence Of the workers as business
men. They could make the product,
but ia buying materials and maketing
stock they fell short. They were at q
disadvantage when placed In compe-
tition with the concerns which possess
ed plenty of capital and were man.
aged by trained business men.
Another reason which contributed to
the failure OF the cooperative concerns
was the failure OF the supply Of nat
ural gas, upon which they placed their
reliance for fuel. They had not the
capital to meet the necessary changes
In methods Of manufacture. 1t Is also
claimed that In some instances glass
was reduced to ruinous prices In the
market because the cooperative con-
Germs were compelled to sell at loss
TO raise money when sorely needed.
The theory Of cooperation in produc-
ton is sound. But in practice 1t must
be prepared to meet conditions in the
commercial world under circumstances
at least as favorable as those which
surround the private institution In
other words, cooperation must fight its
battle at the arena Of competition.
