a RIPLEY REPLY.

Mr.. Ripley Is president and the real
head of the great Santa re railway
system technically and Officially
known as the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railway. Mr. Ripley wishes
ii understood that further opposition
10 railroads means the thwarting oi
progress and hindering Of all deyel-
opment. In measure he is right in
prophetic spirit his weakness is hid
den behind the log Of misapprehension
and in the bog Of misconceptlon. Tne
reason he thinks people are agitatlng
against railroads, is that the railroads
undertook an exploitation campaign
and their forces were shriyen and
fiyen most deploringly.
Take the case Of Oklahoma as tne
sn point:
The Santa re refused to build, pur-
chase, pay taxes or listen 70 the man

dollars because OF the shortslghted
policies OF its management-will lose
4 billion if the contest is continued
by the management aforesaid.
Oklahoma has no war or agitation
10 make against railways; one must
work in conjunction with the other,
both materially and in every other
way benefited thereby. But when the
railways made freight rates higher

West side Oklahoma point than from
