Railroad Employee Pleased with Ryan
PIatform-Would Hear From Others.
M the Editor of the state JournaI:

To the Editor of the State Journals:
I notice that Frank Ryan, in his
formal announcement as a candidate
for governor, makes bid for the rail-
road vote. This is both unusual and en-
couraging It shows that at least one
member of the statesman fraternity be-
lieves the $4,000 railroad workers in
Kansas are worth while. AS one of
the $4,000 employees of the Atchlson,
Topeka & Santa Railway company in
Kansas, congratulate Mr.. Ryan upon
his ability to recognize in this large
and growing element of our citizenship
a force that is entitled to consideration
and respect. I do not pretend to know
how many railroad votes Mr.. Ryan VIII
receive, but I am sure that his plat
form, so far as it applies to employees
of railway companies. is appreciated
by railroad men.
Politicians have ignored the railroad
vote in the past because they feared
the pee-pul, and railroad men submit
ted because of lack of interest. Under
the new dispensation it is different.
Railroad men now believe that they are
pee-pul, same as other workers in this
vale of sunshine and tears, and they
are taking a sufficient interest to see
that they get fair treatment from the
politicians.
1 submit that the average railroad
man compares favorably with the aver
age man in any other walk of life,
physically, morally, intellectually and
financially. Look around and see for
yourself. Isn't it so? Every right
thinking mans ambition is to support
his family properly in comfortable
home surroundings, and to make his
community a good place in which to
live. Can anybody say this is not the
ambition of the average railroad man?
These railroad men are giving con-
siderable attention to the study of po-
litical questions, and to the study Of
candidates. They are not making is
but they express a great desire to cast
their votes for candidates who will be
fair to them in the enactment of laws,
and the discharge of other public
duties.
In the past the $4,000 railroad votes In
| Kansas have not cut much figure in
elections, for the reason that the
the right of franchise about as their
grandfathers exercised it. But that
wave of reform which lately swept
over the country had an effect upon
railroad men. Judging from their pres
ent temper, I guess that railroad men
in the future will think less of how
| their grandfathers voted, and do as
| both their own interests and the inter
ests Of the community in which they
| reside. I also guess that politicians in
the future will follow the precedent set
| by Frank Ryan.
And while I am occupying valuable
| space, I beg to suggest that probably

TEST GASOLINE MOTOR SYSTEM
Texas Lines Have Made Success of
First Shipments.

San Benito, Tex, July 6.-S. A.
Robertson of San Benito and associ-
ates, who are constructing a system of
gasoline motor interurban lines out of
that place, have greatly enlarged their
plans. The first forty miles of the new
road was recently opened for passen-
ger and freight traffic and is now in
regular operation. Arrangements have
been made for constructing immedi-
ately about sixty miles more of track.
1t will be one of the longest gasoline
motor railways in the United States, it
is said. The St. Louis & San Fran
cisco Railway company is said to be
back of the enterprise. ard the partic-
ular object is to serve as a feeder for
the st. Louis & Brownsville railroad
which is owned by the Frisco. Be-
sides running to various points on the
big irrigated tract of land of which
san Benito is the center the new in
terurban railway will be extended to
Brownsville, twenty miles, and up the
valley, following the old military road
to Mission, about fifty miles. The road
is already finished to within eight
miles of Brownsville. Gasoline motors
will be given a thorough trial, and
should they not prove satisfactory they
VIII be replaced by electric transit.

to All Roads.
Other Items of General Interest

Washington, July 6.-With the be
GINNING Saturday of the fiscal year 1912
MANY pieces of important legislation
became effective Most of the legisla-
ton is carried in the great supply bills
which always become effective July l
of each year unless otherwise provided
One piece of legislation that interests
MANY persons in all parts of the coun-
try. and more especially in large cities
where there are small armies OF rail-
way mail clerks, requires that all ral-
roads carrying the mails must PROVIDE
better postal cars
The law provides that after July l,
1911, no pay shall be allowed for the
use Of any full wooden railway post
office car unless constructed substan-
TALLY in accordance with the most ap-
proved plans and specifications OF the
postoffice department, nor for any run
wooden car that is run between adjoin-
ing steel cars, or between the engine
and an adjoining steel car.
While this new law leaves much to be
desired, it is a step in advance. Ulti-
mately all postoffice cars will be OF
steel construction and modern in all
other respects. All new cars approved
by the postmaster general must be of
steel construction or steel underframe
if used in a train in which a mOjority
of the other cars are of like construc-
ton.
1He LOCOMOTIVE QUIET IlSD6CllOu ldlHs
now in effect, also is regarded as being
of the utmost Importance. Under the
provisions of this act it will be unlaw-
full for any railroad to use a locomotive
that has not been pronounced safe and
sound by the United States inspectors.
It is believed the safety of employees
and patrons of all railroads will be
largely promoted by this new law.
The Mississippi valley region is inter-
ested in the provision in the last river
and harbor act that increased the en-
gineer corps of the army by the addi-
ton of five colonies six lieutenant COL
onels and thirteen first lieutenants,
The increase is to be extended over j
period of five years, but will add great
ly to the efficiency of the corps, be-
ginning with this year.
There has been much complaint from
many sections because of the long time
required TO get a project started by the
army engineers, to say nothing of hav-
ing it completed. The chief Of en-
gineers and the secretary of war have
repeatedly made plea for additional
officers, but until last year pleaded n
vain.
Practically all the appropriation acts
of the Sixty-first congress are in effect.
All the new Legislation was thoroughly
digested and assiinilated in advance by
the executive officers, so that changes
were made or will be made without the
slightest friction.

COTTON MILLS CLOSE.
Can't Get Coal Owing to the Strike of

Manchester. July 6.-The situation
growing out of the strike of carriers
was further complicated today by the
enforced idleness of thousands Of cot

to obtain coal and other supplies and
have been compelled to shut down in
definitely.
Throngs of strikers and others out or
work were in the streets. the number
being added to by several hun

Some $50 troops and 300 London police
arrived today. There was an occa-

FIGHT FOR MEXICAN CONTROL
But Railway Battles Are Fought in
Wall Street,


City of Mexico, July 6.-The fight for
the control of the Mexican National
railways between the Cientificos and
the Madero party has been transferred
in large measure from Mexico City
to Wall street.
E. n. Brown, president of the COM
pany and the board, has left the capitai
for New York. and leaders of the new
government say he is to meet in New
York Lord Cowdray, head of the Pear
son interests in Mexico. The British
peer is about due to arrive in New
York.
The fact that Brown failed to keep
faith with Madero after an apparent
understanding was reached at last
Wednesdays conference, as was made
evident by the discovery that two
secret appointments, one with an
enemy of Madero, made a month be-
fore, put the railroad president in a
precarious condition. The Madero lead
ers are satisfied he will put all his hope
of maintaining his power in the in
fluence which Lord Cowdray and the
leading C-entificos will attempt to
bring to hear or Wall street.
Before Brown started for New York
he had an interview with Atwater. 0
representative OF Ladenberg, Thalman
& Co, now in the City of Mexico in the
interest of the firm which has main
tanned the closest relations with the
Cientifico crowd.
Two changes in the board not pro-
vided for in the program of the Ma
lero leaders will be made by Henry
Clay Pierce who, as holder of 81, 600 ,OOl
worth of bonds of the railroad, is en-
titled to name that number of di-
rectors.
J. N. Galbraith, who is in charge of
Pierce's oil interests in Mexico, and
Hansen, president of the Mexican
branch of the international Banking
corporation, will be named to succeed
| Sherrer and Ribon. Both men to be
appointed are known to be in sym
pathy with the new government. The
men whose places they will take were
prominent members of the Diaz re-
gime.
