Pacific Owners VIII Build New
Road Through Chihuahua.

FL Paso, Texas, Jan. 6.-According
to a private telegram received here

Southern Pacific a few miles east Of
this city, and through a district yet

the Southern Pacific a very important
feeder from the southern republic.

REAL BOSS WAS IN
new YORK CITY
California Lawyer Is in Favor Of
Nominations Direct bY the
Pcople--He Is Certain
They Will Vote
Right.

New York, Jan. 6.-Francis j.
Heney whose prosecution of the
graft scandals of san Francisco re-
suited in the sentencing of Abe Ruef
to fourteen years imprisonment, in
an interview today threw new
light on 'Frisco's graft.
"All our political corruption in San
Francisco" he declared, came from
two sources. on the right hand we
found the public service corporations
trafficking for public franchises; on
our left hand, we found the dives, the
disorderly houses and the saloons.
behind our backs We found these
two influences closely Joined in a
union of debauchery and the prin-
cipal boss was the connecting link.
That is, the political boss was merely
the agent, the go-between, of the big
business men. For back of our polit-
ical boss was the great Southern Pa
cific railroad and the real boss sat in
his office way off in New York. The
local political ruler was merely the
tool of Hartman.
so tracing our troubles from
cause to effect, We had to start with
Hartman and go all the way across
the continent to San F'rancfsdo to tfIO
Seople whom Hartman was using as
his tools to extort from the people
privileges for less than they were
worth.
"In only one instance in San Fran
cisco did we find our political sores
to be traceable to any other source
than the great man of business ex-
plotting the people in this manner"
"In all large cities the causes of
the political disease are fundament-
ally the same-the business man av-
aricious for public franchises, the po-
litical boss as their agent and the
places of low resort as the frequent
instruments of their power-except
of course, in Philadelphia.
NOW what is the remedy? That
question opens up a tremendous field.
L, seems to me that in $50 years un-
der the popular form of government
which We have, we have progressed
very slowly. When we decided that
We needed new system of balloting
did we evolve. one for ourselves? No,
we went way down to Australia and
copied their method. Why didn't we
work out one for ourselves?
Because the best brains of the
railways, to banking, to all manner Of
business pursuits. If more intelli-
gence were applied to our machinery
CT government the remedies for our
woes would be evolved.
THE people can be trusted to vote
right The man who does not be-
lieye that can have no faith in our
form of government. The question is.
how to give them the means of vot-
ing right.
You can never do it through a
system that sends delegates to a nom
mating convention, for delegates can
be bought and corrupted. Then why
not try the direct primary nominat-
ing system?
1T eliminates the boss and makes
a good public servant out of the same
man who would be a bad public serv-
ent under the convention system"
