new life into your soul. You glide
swiftly along with very little per-

can creep along at a snail's pace
one mile an hour with a simple
touch the Chauffeur can eat I'D dis
tance at the terrific speed of seven
ty-ive miles an hour. The HAYNES
Company has certainly arrived at au-
tomobile perfection. Mr.. J. L. RiedeI

The New Railroad.

In all great undertakings it be-
hooves the people of any given COM
munity to consider carefully the bur
dens they may be asked to place upon
themselves. When we place an OBJ
| legation upon ourselves that will take
thirty years for US to pay, we must
remember we are voting a debt that
must be met by generations yet un-
born. While certain exegencies may
arise in our civilization that de-
mand that such debt obligations
must be entered into for che peace,
happiness and prosperity for our
selves and the future generations;
but when such conditions do confront
US we should not hurriedIy take
these burdens upon our shoulders,
for we are so apt to act in haste and
later rue the act in tears.
For thirty years the one united
call of the people of Hays City has
been for a north and south railroad.
1t now scenes possible that we are to
have that longing, that community
dream realized. There are at this
moment two railroads knocking at
our city gates. If it is possible for
US to get both roads, then we are
positive that their coming would
make Hays City the queen city west
of the sixth meridian. She would
become the wholesale and distribut-
ing center for Western Kansas,
Eastern Colorado and Western Ne
braska. 1t would become the
ideal place for railroad shops and
division head quarters for three
roads. It would make US the great
educational center for this terri
tory. 1t would give US a city
with a population of 10000 in the |
next five years It would forever
make Us the most Important town
west of Topeka, because of our
location.
We are unhesitatingly in favor
of such development We are for
bigger, cleaner and better Hays City.
We do not want to hinder in any way
this promising and coming future,
but want to add to it. We do not
want to make q false move and place
our fair city IN jeopardy. We have
waited and hoped too long TO see the
dream blasted. 1t would be easy to
name towns that acted and then
thought afterwards and were forever
ruined
Now neighbors, let US think IN
- j. |
day. Let US think of these roads and
what they will mean to US, our heirs
and assigns Let US think of the H
burdens and benefits they viii bring
to US. If the roads viii be eompeti-
tive and will reduce freight rates
we viii receive untold benefits If
they viii give US better passenger
then we benefit and II
It viii be worth our while to vote the
thousands OF dollars that are being
asked Of US If we vote for one
road and it blocks the coming Of the
other road we viii be the losers
The dream of our town would be
oliEhted for twenty years.
