Great Northern Chairman Says Road
Has No Reason for Purchase.
St Paul, Sept. 1.-James j. HILL en-
phatically denied yesterday the report
that the Northern Pacific had bought
the Chicago Great Western. He voiced
several reasons why such n deal should
not be made. the principal one being
that the Northern Pacific does not need
the Chicago Great Western.
Hasn't the Northern Pacific got
connection with Chicago on the Bur
lington?" he aueried.
1T is presumed that the Burlington
has a little moro than 1t can do hand
ling business from both the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific 1t
was suggested
1.-THE Burlington can handle four
times what the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific are now giving
it," was the reply. "The Burlington
makes connections with these lines at
Billings and good deal of traffic
moves that way, opening up big
territory"
"rhe theory is that. since the ST
Paul and the 500 have direct entrance
into Chicago. the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern might each have

"It is nothing but a theory" said
Mr.. Hill. ut is not practical. Wha,
kind of terminals has the Chicago
Great Western in Chicago?" he asked.
1t was murmured that possibly they
did not amount to much.
NO. it hasn't OF much terminals.' -
said MIR. Hill. Il don't see what the
Northern Pacific would want with the
Chicago Great Western. There are a
great many reasons why it should NOT
want it."

SPEAKS TO woRklNeMEN.
Roosevelt Heartily Endorses Federal
Working Mems Compensation Act.

Kansas City. Kan, Sept. 1.-Speak-
ing to an audience, composed chiefly
of workingnen in this city, Roosevelt
today heartily endorsed the passage Oh
federal workingmen's compensation
act, which is one of the chief planks of
the Kansas state platform recently
adopted. He strongly denied the al
legation of the employers that the gov
ernment control Of certain industries
would result in a reduction Of wages, It
being the governments aim to secure
better conditions of employment.
IF man is killed in an industry"
said Roosevelt. instead of leaving his
widow and children to bear the whole
burden, 1 would have it distributed
over the whole industry by making the
compensation. The burden should be
distributed when a working man is in
jured or killed in his employment
There should be no question Of the
responsibility. He should receive COM
pensation for the injury he has suf-
fered, and if hH is killed, his family
should receive such compensation. 1t
should be the duty of the government
to see that it is paid. too
Right Type of Men Needed.
He wanted all the compensation TO
go to the injured mans family and nor
to lawyer. He declared himself in
favor Of progressive legislation as re-
CARDS the control of corporation. But
he said legislation never avails unless
we have the right type Of men and
women On whose behalf the legislation
is invoked. The workers must have the
proper foresight, and thrift, and power
to work hard or they never will make
a success. and the corporations can not
be made to employ a person If he is not
worth employing.
Much Depends on the Man.
Much can be done by the law, and
much by the honest administration of
the law. but much depends upon the
character Of the Individual man and
the Individual woman. Do not misun-
derstand me. There are plenty of peo-
pie, and plenty of wealthy men, who
will sieze on what I have said and say
that is what have told you. 1t depends
upon the individual. But the law must
not permit injustice. 1t must prevent
injustice. We must constantly work to
make conditions better in order that
each man may show his best in order
to make the chances of success in life
better for the average man so he can
lead his life happily and we'll for him
self, his wife and his children"
At the conclusion of the Roosevelt
speech the party was escorted to the
hotel for luncheon.
