Rail President
Raps Statement
by Gov. MeMaster
H. F„ B yram of Milwaukee
Criticises South Dakota ex
ecutive's Stand in Message
to State Legislature.
Chicago, Feb. 12.—IT. K. Byratn.
president of the Chicago, Milwaukee
* St. Paul railway, has written an
open letter to Governor W. If. Me
Master of Sotith Dakota, criticising
the governor for what Mr. By ram
terms “a series of most bitter and
unjust attacks upon the railroads.”
which he declares were made by Gov
ernor MeMaster In his recent mes
cage to the state legislature.
According to Mr. Byratn. Governor
MeMaster said that 18 months ago
lailway managers knew that then
equipment was deficient and (barged
them with “Inrompeteney and crim
inal carelessness” in neglecting to pro
vide sufficient equipment. In his let
ter to the goveror, Mr. Byram de
clared that the railways in 1921 and
1922, with the equipment they had,
moved more farm products than in
any previous year in their history and
said that in the period referred to.
“the railways actually placed orders
for the purchase of more than 2.700
new locomotives and for almost 200.
000 new’ freight cars."
Replying to the statement which he
said the governor made that the rail
roads have been over-capitalized and
have made their rates high enough to
pay dividends upon this total capital
Jzation. Mr. Byram said that the rail
ways never. In a single year, have
paid dividends on their total capital
ization and that in 1921 they paid no
dividends on 4.1 per cent of their
stocks.
Referring to a statement, which he
said, the governou. made, that the In
tersiate Commerce commission, in
placing the valuation of $18,900,000.
000 on the railways, did not take ac
count of certain elements and based
the valuation upon “present day
costs” of construction. Mr. Byram
cited statements made by members of
the commission to show that the valu
ation was not based on “present day
costs.” but upon the average wages
of labor and prices of material in
1911 and 1914. and asserted that If
the valuation had lieen on “present
day costs,” it would have been twice
as large as it actually was

“I Never I se Another
Man's Money*'—Lincoln
Described as “Perfector
of Democracy.”
Washington. Feb. 12.—A volume in
the archives of file Postuffire depart
ment In which Is recorded the ap
pointment of Abraham Lincoln as
postmaster at New Salem. Sangamon

on his birthday anniversary today
an1 interesting story of his postmas
tership which is said to be a tradition
of the service.
It was several years after the post
office at New Salem had bee^i closed
in 1839 that one of the few special
agents then assigned to that duty
tailed on Lincoln, then a young law
yer of 27, to close, finally the ac
counts of the office.
The agent, according to the story,
presented Lincoln with a statement
showing a balance due the govern
ment from the postoffice amounting
to about 117. "Lincoln.” *« the mem
orandum relates the story, "respond
ed by rising from his chair, crossing
hl« office to an old trunk in the cor
ner and taking from it a cotton rag
tied with string. Fntying it, ho pro
duced the exact amount of money de
manded by the postoffice agent, in
dicating that he had held the sum
intact and untouched ever since his
retirement as postmaster.
" ‘I never use any man's money
but my own,’ he said, calmly."

the ' greatest champions of democracy

The speaker said there was a strik
ing similarity in Lincoln’s Gettysburg
address and the funeral oration of
Pericles, one representing "the glory
that was Greece," and the other "the
glory that is America."
"In making a comparison of the
democratic ideals of both men. wv> can
safely say that Pericles was the origi
nator of democracy and Lincoln was
the perfector," he paid.

Sunday night struck and killed Wan

Frank Butler. 3606 Avenue E, Council
Bluffs, at Fourteenth and Jackson

house was dosed for the day. Wil
liam Gurnett. one of six detectives
working on the case with orders to
"being in the driver,” stated that ref
erence to the records would reveal
the motorist's identity, but that po
lice would be unable to look over
the records until today.
"However, it would be better for
him to give himself up," Gurn-tt
said. "He may not be guilty of reck
less driving—he might have some ex
cuse for the accident, but he can
have no excuse for running away.
If we have to go after him, we wiil
make it as hard as possible.”
Besides Gurnett, Detectives Ander
son, Trapp. Munch, Francl and Sum
mit t have been assigned to the case.
Wanda died a half hour after the
accident, as the hysterical mother
