THE RAWLINGS OF RIPLEY.

One Ripley is president OF one
of the great railway systems OF the
country. and in recent interview
uh;ned like split" child. II
~ SC - he believed the railroad cor
porations are looked upon by the
great body Of American people as
criminals with no rights which the.
public respects They are simply
ontlawed with every mans hand
raised TO strike them down. Is
there a scintilla of sense Or an at

He admits that railroads have
been built with the money OF the
people. and should have added yet

The noble lines of the face bespeak
an unusual man; one among many,
many thousands. The majestic
countenance mirrors forth the In
ner Mantle lofty intellect, the
delicate sensibilities, the adamantineI
will.
Here lies before us a Humanitar-
ian Poet Let us recall his speech
es and his writings. He could not
talk in prose. Even on common
place occasions, and in extemporan-
eous remark. the splendor of his
imaginative faculty shone forth, nat
urally. unconsciously. Attuned TO
Natures heart, sympathetic with her
varying moods-deep as the ocean,
ephemeral as a summer zephyr, ac-
cording as the fleeing moment re-
corded-so this Interpreter spoke to
rs as we listened through the years
to his guiding voice.
Daniel was cast in heroic mold
and lived in an heroic period the
destiny of Virginia was at stake dur
ing the war and afterwards. The
! bugle call to arms brought Daniel
TO the field as a youth; and no
\ knight of Arthurian romance sought
more courageously or successfully to
acouit himself as a man. He came
out OF the war a crutch-cripple for
life. hut such was the spirit of the
soldier that he would have giver
his life as willingly as he gave
limb in that fierce struggle of op
posing thousands in the Battle o
J the Wilderness.
"A brave foe, he became gene
rous friend after the issue OF '6l
'65. and today the name Daniel, TIT
Senator. is respected and admired
in the North, in the Puritan house

in public affairs the little finger
of this Preferred Class will be
thicker than the loins of Public
Opinion.
They have already seen the
supremacy of the law hang in the
balance and then be swayed for
private interests by Big Business
made officials. They realize that
a mighty contest is now being
waged between moral and COM
mercial leadership in private bus
mess and public affairs. They
have chosen their side in this
mighty contest and in it they
stand for the due protection of
the personal rights of men and
property rights. but as Lincoln
said: In case of conflict they
stand for men. for future genera
tions as against the dollar. They
have never committed that mas
ter blunder of the age. the mea-
surement of men by the money
they have made. They have ac-
counted men as great as they are
useful to mankind, no more. no
less. Your work has been the in
spiration of their work and the
stockmen of Colorado still re-
gard you as their best friend and
as the best friend of the nation in
this great work. They are still
with you and still look to you for
counsel and support.
They will continue to the end
with you to obtain an administra-
tion of public affairs upon the
broad and enduring principles Of
equity; that equity which will
mete out to each man his due. no
