'sHoPE' MORRIS AS INVESTMENT.
Syndicate Pays $4,000 for His Con-
tract

Kansas City, Feb. IA contract on
a real hope" is worth something.
Billy Mccartney received a letter from
Sapulpa. Okla, yesterday which in
formed him that a trio of Oklahoma
oil men had bought the contract on
Carl Morris from J. e. Stone, his first
and only manager, for $4,000. Stone,
thu hope" The letter to Mccartney
didn't say just how much Morris was
to receive under his new management,
but he will have enough managers to
keep him busy.
81 knew that the deal was pending
when I was in Sapulpa the other day."
said Mccartney last night. 'HThey have
paid $4,000 all right for the contract
on Carl. They bought it simply for
speculation. Morris is to receive a
monthly salary and a percentage of
all purses he fights for. It means,
however, that he won't engage in any
more fights for six months. The men
who paid the big price for his con-
tract are going to hire the best in
structors in the business and give Carl
six months to learn the fine points of
the game. If he develops satisfactorily
he will be matched to fight Al Kauf-
man or some other good man. If he
wins his first bout under his new man
agement he will be sent against Jack
Johnson. However, they don't intend
to match him against the negro for
more than a year. Outside of the
men expect to spend as much more
on the hope developing him.
Mccartney said that If Morris .devel-
oped to the satisfaction Of his man
ayers he could get backing for $780,
900 against johnson.

an increase of wages all along the line,
with the right to increase our rates

ing high rates for money required by

for curtaflment rather than increased

we believe these unfavorable conditions
are temporary. The growth and devel-

Governor Wilson said that publicity

1.-THE root of all evil in politics." said
Governor Wilson, '"is private conceal
people of the country who do not know
the processes of their welfare. The
common interest can only be estab-
lished through the instrumenta1ity of
the facts. Really, what we are after in
the field of politics is to drive every
thing into the field of facts.
Politics has in recent years been
tied to the private arrangement of d
board of directors, sitting behind
closed doors and administering every
body's business as if it were their bust
ness.
There has been a very close relation
between politics and business that has
been impossible to separate without
vivisection. Now I admit that bust
ness and politics are very closely re-
lated because politics is not something
separated from our life. It has to
handle the vital matter of our business
and, because our business is public,
| our politics must be public.
There is very clear reason. in my
mind, why SO few newspaper men have
universally influential views. 1t is be-
cause few newspaper men are connect

TOMMY COMES IN
Outfielder Drops into Topeka
With John Henry.
Comes Down to Look the Bosses
Over.
SIGNS HIS CONTRACT.
Says He Will Work Up and Stay
There
Likes the Looks of Moore and
Woodward.
IGNS HIS CONTRACT.

The heavy mist of uncertainty which
has lowered over the Topeka ball club
management was lifted clear Of the
lookout point last evening when Ar
thur Thomson, the nifty little out
fielder, dropped into town and left his
signature.
Tommy with his very human weak
ness for the product Of the mints, was
the most wanted of the holdouts. But
his holdout was a strain also to himself
and he could no longer resist the i'm
pulse. He came to Topeka from his
home at Liberty, Mo-, to see what kind
of a manager and what kind of a crowd
was boosting on Topeka baseball.
He liked the manager and the two
hobnobbed around to Woodward's Of
flee He liked woodward. He saw
what kind of men were back of the
new club. Then he sat down and called
for the contract he had sent back with
a request for his release. Carefully he
affixed his John Henry-for Tommy
is a good penman.
Then he said. I'm glad I've done it. I
thought had earned more money. The
fans know worked for it and, of
course, 1 tried to get it. That is just
part of the game. guess.
"I am going to work harder than
ever because I am bound to go up. And
these men will give me a chance. I
might have stayed with the big ones
last season but Cooley sold me at too
high a figure. Owner Summers up at
Cleveland came to me and said, Tom
my, I've got poorer men here than you
but you come too high and I've got to
let you go back I told him that was
all right with me and I'd be back
again."
And there is little doubt that he will
go back again-that is, if hard work
and natural ability to clout the ball
still stand for the making of a, good
bali player. Meanwhile hewill be d
mighty valuable man to Topeka and a
stickler for harmony.
Tommy says he has been taking
good care of himself this winter. AL
most every day he has been out in the
woods and fields with a dog and j
shotgun. His shoulders, made wide
and strong pulling on the ponies, are a
little broader than before and his body
is hard and sound. Besides that he is
speed mad
If there is one piece of news with a
pleasing sound to the fans it is this
little action by Thomson. They were
good to him before because he was de-
serving. He is for Topeka in q. thou
sand ways and that's enough said.

Pennsylvania, Southern Pacific and
Santa ENe


Santa Ee
There are only three railway COM
panies in the United States earning
more than $100,000,000 gross. The
Pennsylvania railroad is one and the
Southern Pacific company and the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fee are the
others. The Pennsylvania railroads
development has been intensive; the
Southern Pacific's and the Atchisons
development has been extensive.
Operating through Louisiana, Texas,
New Mexico. Arizona, California, Ore
gon. Nevada and Utah, the Southern
Pacific carries more diversified ton
mage than any other large railway. It
is almost unique, for instance, among
large railways, in that Of the total ton
mage carried but 2.91 per cent is BIZ
luminous coal. Notwithstanding this
characteristic of being an agricultural
road as contrasted with a manufac-
turing road, the tonnage of products
of agriculture amount to 1888 per
cent of the total tonnage, while prod
ucts of manufactures amount to 17.17
per cent.
