ROOSEVELT The ISSUE.
Democrats Make Their Fight on the
Colonel in New York.

Utica, N. Y, Oct. 25.-Alton 2. Park
er and DIR. D. NJ. Stryker, president of
hamilton college, were the principal
speakers at mass meeting here last
night under the direction of the Demo-
cratic association of Utica.
President Stryker, a lifelong Repub-
lican, recently announced himself for
John A. Dix, the Democratic candidate
for governor. He devoted nearly all of
his address to ridicule of Colonel Roose-
Welt
President Stryker said:
ct resent Roosevelt as a national or
state issue I have had enough of him.
He is mighty hunter but he cannot
have my pelt. He is an attitudinizer
and uses the American people as his
looking glass. His record shows great
lack of ethical perspective and funda-
mental disregard of law. His own
sweet will suffices for him. He is a
great musician. He plays a fine old
tune. I am it. His text is always in
his avn infallibility He regards him
self as an irreproachable example of
immaculate rectitude.
"In New York he is one thing and in
Kansas another. In Massachusetts he
embraces Lodge, in Indiana he puts his
arms around Beveridge. In New York
he. talks against bosses and in Cincin-
natl he kisses them. One of the most
curious things is that he does not real
ize how funny he is. There may be
some who think he would be a good
Diaz, but few of US would make good
Mexicans."

season with K. L. Saturday but four

! Four of these men failed to report
last night for practice and Whitcomo
who is not known to be injured also
staid away. Discomfort is manifest in
the squad on account of the failure of
the athletic department to furnish hot
enough water and a rubber for after
practice rub downs. The men get
bruised up and stiff with no relief ex-
cept what they can do for themselves
at home Several of the players who
are now scarcely able to move their
limbs in all proba bility would never
have noticed the bruises had they been
properly cared for.
AS a matter of fact the football
thing is up in the air at the Blue
camp. They all know there Is some
thing vitality wrong but do not know
where to place it. So far there has
been an inability to get together
Whether that can be remedied by Sat

j. r. KO0ntz Answers Stubs in
Freight Rate Controversy.
General Freight Agent Gives
Figures in Stock Interests.
"FACTS VS.. FICTION. -
Santa Fe Man Points Out Differ
ence Between Real and Unreal.
Other Items OF General Inter-
est in Traffic World.

In an interview in the State Journal
September IS, Governor Stubs said
that the proposed increase in freight
rates would cost the live stock inter-
ests of Kansas alone over a million
dollars. J. R. Koontz, general freight
agent of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway company, takes exception
to the statement.
"The people," Mr.. Koontz said to a
reporter for the State Journal this
morning, ARE more interested in facts
than they are in fiction, where freight
rates are concerned. The specific hear
ing before the interstate commerce
commission, so far as live stock is af-
fected, involves the proposed advance
of the rates from Kansas City and
other Missouri river points to the Mis-
sissippi river No other live stock
rates are under consideration. But if
the proposed advance applied to kan
sas. Governor Stubs would be off
more than $95O,00O in his figures.
During the year ending December
81. 1903, the railroads hauled out of
Kansas City 29,O97 cars of cattle to
st. Louis, divided as follows: Wa
bash, $685.; Missouri Pacific, 10,327;
burlington, 5,222; Alton, 4,S1S; Rock
Island, 1885. These shipments orig
mated in Nebraska Colorado, Wyo-
ming. the Panhandle of Texas and
Oklahoma, as we'll as Kansas. Assum-
ing that all of these cattle moved out
of the state of Kansas, the entire ad-
vance on the 29,097 cars of the aver
age weight of 23,40O pounds, would
have been $17O,217.45. But as a mat
ter of fact, not to exceed 40 per cent
of the shipments originated in Kansas
and the Increased freight charge TO
the Kansas shippers would have been
$4,000. instead of a million dollars,
as estimated by Governor Stubs.

MUST PRACTICE ECONOMY.
Boston Attorney Says Railroads Can
save Millions.

New York, Oct. 25.-A lawyer, L. d
Brandeis, has given his pledge to the
interstate commerce commission to
produce men who can save the rail-
roads of this country many millions OF
dollars annually through the Inaugural
ton of economies hitherto uninterrupted
and undreamed. It is quite fitting that
this lawyer and theorist should hail
from Boston, and that he is not all
theory but is more or less practical is
shown by the fact that he represents
nearly all the big eastern seaboard
shippers in the determined struggle
that is now in progress between the
railroads and the shippers with refer
ence to increased freight rates.
In a long interview Attorney Bran
deis gives an mixing of the kind of
economies to which he referred. He
does not have in mind the cutting down
of grades, the elimination of curves,
the buying of larger engines and larger
cars and similar things. Attorney
Brandeis illustrated the kind of
economies he refers to by stating that
a certain steel corporation employed
experts to study shoveling.
There is still a more important
thing" adds Attorney Brandeis, land
that is standards of cost. In railroad
operation there is no standard of cost
of production and no way of telling
whether the various operations are
costing too much

Colonel Roosevelt.
partnent.

Binghamton, n. Y, Oct. 25.-As a
result of the study of scientific farming
at close range Theodore Roosevelt has
decided that farmer who goes about
it in the right way can make a good
living from land which is now going to
waste.
The first stop was made at the farm
of James Sheklers, IA miles from
Ithaca. Mr.. Monroe showed the colo
mel land which a few years ago had
been regarded as virtually useless, and
which he said now produces 300 BUSH
els of potatoes to the acre. Secretary
Wilson of the department of agricul-
ture, sent Mr.. Monroe into New York
state three years ago with the result
that 5000 acres are being cultivated
under his directions in the Connecticut
hills region and as much more in the
Irish hills nearby.

building of agriculture in the region
had begun.
The colonel referred in his speech
here last night to a circular which he
said the Democrats had sent out. He
had one of the circulars in his hand

and is opposed to the wild doctrines of

''Well, the big Roosevelt doctrine is

ing from the circular. "This appeal, "
he said, "is signed by Charles F. Muir

"They may call them the Roosevelt

THOMAS A GREAT CATCHER.
But He Wasn't Good Enough for Hugh
Jennings or Clark Griffith.

Ira Thomas, the Athletics big catch
err. who has surprised critics by more
than offsetting the great John king of
the Cubs in the worlds series, can at
tribute his success entirely to Connie
Mack. In fact, Thomas said a year ago
that he never really knew the fine
points of back stopping until he began
to receive instructions from Mack.
Thomas was first noticed as a cauch-
er when he was with the Providence
Eastern league team about five years
ago. He was purchased from Provi-
dence by the New York American
League club, but his work didn't SUIT
Clark Griffith, who sold him to Detroit.
Hugh Jennings tried Thomas for a
while, but finally decided to let him go
to the Athletics more than a, year ago.
Mack, it would appear, saw undevelop-
ed skill in Thomas that was hidden
from Griffith and Jennings, for the Ath-
letics' manager soon had the big catch
er going at fine clip.
Thomas surprised himself as well as
the Philadelphia fans and made such
progress that he attraced attention eV-
erywhere. While on the hospital list
with a split finger, Thomas said: Con
ME Mack is a wizard. He has made
q new catcher out of me and l know
things now I never heard of before.
That's the secret of his success. He can
correct the faults of any player"
Thomas, it appears, was held in re-
serve for the worlds series. Mack used
Livingston and Lapp so much during
the American League season that It
was a generally accepted fact that one
or the other would do all the catching
in the worlds series. That was why
the critics could not make themselves
believe the Cubs, with King and Arch
er, would be outclassed behind the bat.
They evidently forgot all about the pow
erfulIy built New Highlander who has
cut down the Cub base runners and has
handled Bender and Coombs in superb
fashion.
In Thomas Mack has sprung star
catcher-a heady, nervy, quick witted
worker who has been an important
factor in the triumph of the Athletics.
Furthermore, Mack has proved that the
Athletics apparently are without a
weak spot His great team can hit the
ball, field, run bases and display every
angle of ''inside ball. Invincible in
batteries, the Athletics therefore have
outclassed the Cubs. It's an old say
; ing that a team with good pitchers
catchers and second baseman should
come very near winning pennant
Mack's team meets all requirements.

S. f. BUSY EDUCATING MEN.
''NIOnthly Information Meetings. Held

San Bernardino Cal, Oct. 25.-The
Santa FEES campaign for the education
of its employees is being prosecuted
with vigor. In addition to the instruc-
ton regarding rates, which is now the
leading topic with the railroads of the
country, education along operating
lines is being strenuously prosecuted,

more so than on the freight rate con-
