RAILROADS.

Oklaha ma wants and must have more
railroads. While no other state has
been able TO secure roads so quickly as
Oklahoma. II must be remembered no
other state had such wonderful re
sources nor were they tenth as rapid
In being developed. The numerous
lines We have are urces OF profit t.
their owners. and there Is room FOR al
least four new railroads in this state
all OF them to cross the entire state. Al
fhis time the Northwestern section OF
Oklahoma has no direct route to the
states capital city. Nor does any
other city OF Central Oklahoma have
superior advantages. The ChoctaN
crosses below the center OF the north
and south b undary lines; the Santi

Gle libraries, temples and funds which
the Scot nas bequeathed. to the work
ers Of the present and for the use OF
postesity. all--egen add the fortune
making period OF his day-am unit to
nothing compared with the recently
issued letter offering a solution fo- the
differences between capital and labor,
rather a prophecy of solution.
Mr. Carnegie does mt propose TO
divide what is. He does not propose
legislation to revoluuonize business
sr social conditions. In fact Mr. Car
1egie 10 ks backward and forward for
deductions and offers for futurity the
partnership in business. Not as now
attempted In places, but to ALLOW the
Yorkmen to own the stock of the big
concerns. He makes many references
as ts how stock Is secured and why 1t
should be resold when one ceases his
labors p. the place of employment
which isrued the shares.
Mr.. Carnegie admits that his plan IS
crude and that the ages Will have to
solve the details. 1t is not, says Mr..
carnegie, like anything we now have
le offers but the outline Of soluti n
O the problem OF the ages.
The Scot has been success; no man
living has attained more--no one has
given half so much Not all = his
leeds have been those of goodness,
ew have been other than the hope Of
ltonement for wrongs Of the past;
some have been detrimental q the
present and worse for those yet to
'ome.
However the Carnegie statement will
)ear investigation and along that line
will the problems of futurity be solved.
