FRON OTHER PENS
RAILROADS.


Politicians have played upon the
prejudices of the people and have at
tempted to WIN favor by making the
people believe they were being
oppressed by the railroads. Such
politicians have not hesitated to
misrepresent and to conceal facts and
have done whatever has been in their
power to arouse prejudice against
the railroads.
their own grounds, the railroads have
occasionally, frequently perhaps
taken an active part in politics, they
have aide 1 in the election of candi-
dates for office, who they believe
were friendly to them. or who they
thought they might use, and have
opposed others.
it is not a one-sided question. Every
railroad has more or less of litigation
in the courts. Their managers may
be put in awkward places frequently.
For instance where there may be two
candidates for judge of court IN
which a railroad company expects to
have much litigation One OF the
candidates is q man of well-knoWn
and undoubted honesty The manager
of the road whose business is to look
to the political side of things reasons
that if elected, he will at least treat
the company fairly and impartially,
and that there is no use in wasting
time with him. His competitor may
be a man whose character has opened
him to suspicion. The railroad man
says: IF that fellow should be
elected he can do US dirt, and ii may
take money and work to control him;
we will show friendship to him Defore
the election and If he should get IN we
will be on his good side. "-knoxv1lle

SO well governed as Topeka is during
the present time and has been in the
| immediate past. There has never been
q suspicion of scandal OF late years in
connection with the administration or
the affairs of this city. nor is there any
now. The voters OF this city for long
| time have shown q rare discrimination
! ir. the selection of councilmen and city
executives and such men as have been
elevated to these Offices have been
faithful to their trusts. No cleaner
municipal government has existed any
where than that which has been main
tanned in Topeka for some time.
But good and clean as has been the
conduct of the municipality it can be
bettered. 1t would be peculiar state
OF affairs If 1t were not possible to i'm
prove on a city's government. It is
difficult to md anything in this life
which is not in need of being bettered
end which cannot be. Close students
of municipal methods are almost unan-
imously of the opinion that such an
improvement cannot be worked out
with the council and mayoralty system
of government which has been used
generally in the past and which is in
vogue in Topeka today. Some people
argue tndt II the mayor ana cOunCl1-
men and other elective city officers
were given more power they would be
able to make considerable progress in
the way of improving city's govern
ment That sounds reasonable but
the trouble with the proposition is that
even with such increased power as
might be given them there would be
the same old diversity of authority, of
conflicting opinions where many are
concerned in the welding of power,
which would work for conduct of the
eitys affairs in the same old dilatory
and unsatisfactory way as now pre-
walls.
Experience has taught that the COM
mission form of government solves this
vexed problem of governing response
bility and the power to execute it in
the best possible way. Such a plan of
government would be desirable for To-
peka, not because the present govern
mert of the city is glaringly inefficient
or conducted in a scandalous fashion,
neither of which suggestion is in any
way correct, but because 1t will provide
the means for improving the govern
mental conditions, and there is no
other practicable way in sight to bring |

THE MINING INDUSTRY.

within our own generation the in

an article entitled "A Mine in the
Making" in the American Review of
Reviews for October. ut has assumed
the role of legitimate business en-
terprise, on as honorable footing as
manufacturing, transportation, mer-
chandising or banking. 1t may be
made as afe as any1 of these pursuits,
and has the advantage of much larger
profits. At the present time mining
rests upon scientific principles. There
is now small excuse for failure.
What makes a mine? The mining
engineer, who has practical experience
and scientific insight into all phases of
the mineral industry, will answer by
saying that 1t is land property from
the bowels of which valuable minerals
may be extracted proftably and in
commercial quantities So. also, con-
trary to popular opinion, an ore is a
mineral deposit which, on a merchant
able scale, may be worked with profit
Such Is the definition which the legft-
innate business of mining today recog-
nizes the world over. mining prop

fore such position is attained. Until
it does reach this position it's stocks
are not the proper field in which the
general public, or persons unacquaint-
ed with the mining industry, should be
invited or advised to invest.
with this definition the picturesque
prospector of days now gone by does
not make of his lonely claim mine
by simply calling it such. The noun
taineer, with his pick and shovel, has
only hope strong in his breast. The
sturdy little band that is doing devel-
opment work is yet long, long way off
from a mine. It is by unmatched
propositions of this kind that the willy
promoter endeavors to entrap the cred
ulous. Not one in a thousand of these
schemes develops into a real mine. A
