'In 1890 there was 7l,32S miles OF
railway west OF the river but today
our railway mileage has been in
creased to 1l6.256-an enormous gain
of 63 per cent, constituting practi'
cally one-half of the entire railway
mileage in America. The most i'm.
portant American railway enterprise
at this time is the Kansas City, Mex
leo & Orient Railway, a short line
from Kansas City to the Gulf of
California. The building of this road
is progressing rapidly and when com
ploted it will shorten the distance
nearly 1000 miles from the manu-
featuring cities in the Mississippi
valley to ocean going steamships in
the South American and Asiatis
trade. Another important enterprise
is the KcucfioH lines in Oklahoma
and Texas, also under construction.

IT,
"As a proGuct of ta:s environment,
so favorable TO the 1pm"nt Of
the highest type OF civilization, the
average Wostorncr is a brpad-minded,
sel'Ecliant individual. Living under
these conditions he has confidence
in himself and faith in his country
and is not afraid to try for better
things in government. The earliest
pioneers Of American civilization, oc-
cupying a narrow fringe OF territory
along the north Atlantic coast, looked
to the older countries OF Europe,
from which they came, as models OF
the best civilization in material
things. When the surplus popula.
ton for lack of room, was crowded
back into the wilderness their faces
were still turned toward the east.
1t was not until the rugged empire
builders passed through the Ale
ghenies and spread out over the
brood prairies OF the Mississippi Bas-
in. that the faces OF men were
turned toward the west and the true
American spirit was developed.
In this parliament OF people there
has always been freedom Of speech
and opportunity for frank expression
of views and friendly exchange OF
ideas and experiences. no selfish
interest has ever been able to dom
/ mate its deliberations, but It has
remained a "Frec Forum OF the
West" where the public interest has
been placed above special interest and
the public good above private greed
In this popular gathering every dele,
gate should receive square deal
with special privileges to none, high
or low. rich or poor. This congress
has steadily grown in Influence and
power for good. for more than 30
years. because it has been a free.
independent and unselfish orgari.

APPEARS IN BEATT|E TRIAL
APPEAL is SENT
TO FEDERAL
OFFICERS

Pueblo, Sept Am appeal for
aid In combating "blackhand"
blackmailers was sent to the de-
partment OF justice at Washington
by local authorities yesterday, fol-
lowing developments showing that
many members of the Italian coll
ony here are contributing regular
monthly payments of blood
money" extorted by an organized
gang of unusually daring criminals.
Difficulty in prosecuting black
handlers under the state laws and
the inability Of the local authorities
to induce the persons victimized to
give information against those who
have them terrorized, are the prin-
cipal reasons for appealing to the
federal government, the local Off
cials say.

was found In a cave near a Jewish
quarter that the Jewish sect Hassides,
who are alleged to forbid the burial of
ritualistic victims may have had some
knowledge OF the case. With respect
to the Hassides, NJ. SlOisberg said,
that the Jews of Russia ar divided IN.
to two classes, the Hassides, meaning
pious, and the Mesnakdim, meaning
opponents. The two exist side by
side. Adherence to either sect de-
ponds upon the temperament of indi-
viduals or communities. The Has
sides are mystically inclined and ac-
knowledge spiritual leaders called
Zadyk.
The Misnakdim Journalists are
strictly disciplined. They deny the in
termediary spiritual functions Of the
rabbi. The use OF blood is equally
abhorrent to both denominations.
