KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 2s.-The
trail Of two bandits who robbed the
mail and express cars Of the joplin.
Kansas City train Of the Missouri
Pacific early this morning led to this
city today.
The bandits left the train at shef.
field. near Kansas City, after securing
S9b2 In cash and taking several ex-
press and mail sacks. They were met
by accomplices at that point and were
spirited away with the loot In a motor
car, undoughtedly to some hiding
race In this city, police officers be.
lieve.
The robbers, boarding the train at
Pleasant Hill, told l.. II. Holland.
twenty-six. an express clerk, to put
up his hands. He attempted to get
to his revolver and was shot in the
left side and through the left arm.
Openly boasting that no marines
were guarding the train, the robbers
leisurely went through mail and ex-
press matter, and when the train
slowed down for Sheffield, threw their
loot out Of the car and dropped to the
ground.
The robbery was not discovered un.
til the train reached Kansas City.
when Holland, wounded, was found

Why It Fails Here.

Therefore. the argument is. CO.
operation should do the same In the
United States. But it doesn't. Why?
The answer explains not only why
cooperation, but also many similar
enterprises that succeed in Euro
pean business, fails here.
For one reason, because the United
States Is so big. Just think. II we
had as many permanent co-operators
as Denmark. in proportion to our
population. they would number nearly
20. 000,0 900.
Denmark IL a kingdom, with am
bassadors and court and some
pom,. circumstance and polish in
Europe. But Denmark has only the
population Of Chicago. Denmark has
only a quarter the size of Illinois
and q third the size Of New York.
Denmark could be fitted ten times
over into California, and there would
still be two or three counties to
spare.
with a territory so small and
business relations so closely knitted,
things are possible in business that
are impossible over a colossal area
like that of the United States.
For another reason the people OF
Denmark are less tempted to go into
individual enterprises and business
ventures than in the United States.
Denmark Ia old and little and has
been thoroughly worked over by gen.
GRAFTON after generation. The United
States is young and vast, and its
resources have been hardly scratched.
The billions still to be raised from
the ground and turned into active
business are far more than the
billions already in the channels of in.
dustry and trade.
Chances for Success.
Tho chances for individual success
and personal wealth. to the west OF
the Mississippi river, are countless
and enormous. They will be SO for q
generation to come. Long as we
may wait for industrial peace, we
shall not get II as long as such OPP
portunities SPUR the ambitious and
tempt the venturesome. OF course,

Millions OF persons In the United
states are for cooperation in theory.
Few oppose It. Every time the
Golden Rule Is mentioned, co-opera,
ton Is recommended as the best way
to Introduce the rule into business.
Whenever the conflict between labor
and capital grows hot cooperation
is one Of the remedies suggested.
Magazines, weeklies and books are
printed to explain cooperation and
make II popular. A new book by a
priest lies on the writer's desk. 1t
gives to cooperation the endorse
ment Of the church. Yet with all
these advantages, cooperation moves
slowly.
why Ia thisf A co-operator from
Copenhagen writes to ask the Ques-
ton.
why. for instance, il cooperation
SO little practiced in the United
States. and 80 generally used In Den
mark?
One Out Of Five Co-Operator.
In the Danish kingdom for ex-
ample, about one grown person In
every five Is a co-operator. or 3,000,-
900 inhabitants, SIT 1000 belong to the
cooperative societies that buy and
sell goods, 100000 belong to CO.
operative societies that manufacture
goods. The Cooperative Danish
Bank has 100 branches and a turn
over Of more than $4,000, 900, 900 a
year. Not only this, but in all fields
of it's activity Danish cooperation is
growing larger and stronger every
year The figures show 1t.
Cooperation in Denmark Is a rec
ognized and popular method OF doing
business, eliminating many of the
middlemen and moderating the mu-
tual distrust Of employers and en-
ployed. It does not bring about the
millennium; II does not absorb all in
dustry and abolish strikes and lock-
cuts, but II tends toward Industrial
peace in any number of business ac-
tivities.
