'The Man That Beat the Rail-
roads," is the title of the article, and
some of the things it says of Mr..
Kindel follow:
president Roosevelt is not the
only man in the United States who
wields big stick George ]. Kin
del of Denver. wealthy manufac-
turer, bogie man of corporations.
live, energetic booster for American
institutions, Western industry, and
an exponent for modern business
progress, is fast whipping into line
the railroad companies and all hog
combines on the subject of discrim-
ination in freight rates.
"It was fourteen years ago that
Mr.. Kindel first commenced the
great conflict with the railroad for
lower freight rates. Since that time
energy concentrated on the outcome
of the bitter struggle which has given
him national prominence and which
has or will ultimately decide ques-
tion of vital Importance to thousands
of Western shippers.
This strong, fearless man, advo-
cate of square dealing, alone and un-
aided has waged battle against the
most powerful and richest corporate
interest in the world, the combined
railroads. Condemned and maligned
by these corporations, ridiculed by a
subsidized press and derided by petty
political parasites, jealous of his in
creasing power and prestige he has
stood his ground, watching each ma
neuyre of the enemy and meeting
each attack with sarcasm and such
facts that after five legal
cases in court he has compelled the ,
commission to say of him
'Kindel. you have won the fight.
He has proved that Denver pays
100 per cent higher freight rates per
ton per mile than any city of its size
in the United States. and when the
traffic managers of three eastern
roads came to Denver last year and
to point out by tariffs
and carefully prepared figures
Kindel was in error, they
to their chagrin and hui
that they had indeed en-
countered "a wise man of the west.
who could meet them at their own
game and play a trump card. Before
the conference was concluded these
same magnates hastened to the tail
timber, while Kindel remained con-
spicuously triumphant"
Some facts concerning Mr.. Kim
del's business successes are also in
cluded in the article.

HOT SOUTHERN BLOOD .
= = = = = : : + : = : :

Against the implication that the
blood which flows through the veins
of men born in the south prevents
GOODNESS and deliberation in thought
or action, the Charleston News and
Courier protests.
The prevailed impression in the
North that as a rule the men of the
South are reckless and inconsiderate
and that deliberation rarely charact-
erizes their Judgment or calmness
their conduct is in part born or pas
| ty criticisms made during the Civil
war and perpetrated later by pict-
ures drawn by romance writers of
what they represent as the "fower of
Southern chivalry."
Neither the Anglo-Saxons nor the
Scotich-Irish are considered hot
blooded folk, and it is chiefly the
blood of these two races which fills
the veins of Southern men, In the
south rather than in any other part
of the country the old American stock
has been maintained in it's continent
of Europe. The idea of the roman
ces that the men who filled the arm
les of the southern Confederacy were
quick tempered, impulsive cav
alters who rode off gaily to war Is far
from the truth. For as rule they
would be much better represented by
picture of a forth with Bible in
one hand and a rifle in the other to
fight for what he thinks to be right.
1t is not the commonly accepted view
We know, but no man who has OBJ
servel the slow speech and deliber-
ate movements of the Southern farm
er can question that it is corrects
A little study of history will throw
some light on this subject. Among
the distinguished men of the first
hundred years of our history none
stand higher than Washington the
father of his country; Jefferson, the
political philosopher, and Lin
coin. the patriot and martyr to a
great cause, all men of Southern
birth and southern blood. The great
| chief justice who by his opinions de-
| livered from the supreme bench gave
a distinctly national character to the
constitution was Marshall of Vir-
ginia, of the last century. Clay, Web
ster and Calhoun, two were of South
ern blood; and of the three. Calhoun
was the cold logican, and Webster
the impassioned orator. OF the at
tribute lack of coolness to Lee, Stone
wall Jackson and Joseph E. John
ston.
i 1t is easy to talk about 'hot south
+ ern blood" but the facts do not JUS
tify the ordinary application of the
term.

THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN
ARE STARVING IN GERMANY.

Berlin, Dec. 26.-The municipal
ity is face to face with very serious
problem in connection with the sup
ply of food to thousands of virtually
starving children attending the pri-
mary schools in consequence of the
industrial activity. Hitherto the
Children's Canteen society has beer
able to cope with the task in very
satisfactory way by means of sub
scriptions from private sources, bu.
the calls Oh its funds are this year SO
great that it will be unable to sup
ply many of the children. In the
first week of December, according
to official statistics from 245 out of
the 2S5 primary schools no fewer
than 11,947 children attended
school in most cases without break
fast and in all cases without the
prospect of obtaining a midday meal
at home. OF these 2,49S receive a
simple daily meal from the fourteen
canteens belonging to the above men
toned society; the other 7,449 are
totally unprovided for.
The question of the city's respon-
sibility for the children has now been
raised by the Socialists in the mu-
nicipal council who propose that the
council should In the future under
take the task. The society will be
able this winter to dispose of the
sum of $S.421.05, and this will all
be taken up by the provision of a
meal day to the 4.49S children
who are on its books. Altogether
for the feeding of the 1900 starv-
ing little ones during the winter
S31 500 Will be necessary, and the
council Is to be asked to vote S3O.-
600 to make up the amount requir-
ed and place at the disposition of
the society for administration.

Christmas eve saw hundreds and
hundreds of people on the streets
and in the stores, making the last
Christmas purchases. Pleased ex-
citement, merriment, happy antici-
pations filled the hours. 1t was an
ideal Christmas eve, and the crowds
that were out were typical of the oc-
casion.
| Christmas morning dawned fair
and beautiful, and the day, as far as
weather was concerned, was absolute
| ly perfect in its makeup. 1t was an
ideal Grand valley winter day. 1t
was neither cold or hot. 1t was more
like an early spring day than like a
mid-winter day.
| From all reports Santa Claus was
very generous with the children and
with the young people and the aged,
and It is doubtful If any one in the
whole city was overlooked by this
ever-genial old Harbinger of Happi-
ness.
The day was filed, much as many
a Christmas day in Grand Junction
has been filled, with dinner parties,
family reunions and entertainments,
private and public, of various kinds,
and all of a delightful nature.
Hundreds of Christmas baskets,
filled with turkeys and other good
things to eat. were distributed among
the poor of the city by the Elks, the
Salvation Army, missionary societies,
other fraternal orders and organiza-
tions. Also great many articles of
wearing apparel and other useful
gifts We're distributed among those
who needed them. Certainly a great
amount of Christmas sunshine was
scattered throughout the city by
these worthy deeds.
Services at several of the church
es gave occasion for truly reverent
tribute to the Savior of the World,
the anniversary of whose birth in
Bethlehem of Judea more than 1900
years ago, is called Christmas.
During the afternoon hundreds of
| glad-hearted people were out walking
or driving. fully enjoying the ideal
weather of ule glorious Christmas
| day.
There was a general suspension of
business. Nearly every store in the
city being closed all day long.
In the evening several dances, the
theaters and many private social en-
tertainments provided sources of
| merrymaking.
Truly it was a happy Christmas
day in Grand Junction.
