A Little Journey To Kansas
Towns
The circuit rider was in new
territory to him last week. lie
made : i business trip to some
Kansas towns. Some of the
towns are good , .some bad and
some neither. Kansas City , Kan
sas , is bad , wholly , rejoicingly
bad. On the trolly trip from
Kansas City , Mo. , to Kansas Git } * ,
Kansas , yon notiiie in Missouri
that occasionally there is a saloon
when you cross the line into Kan
sas ( prohibition Kansas ) you no
tice that occasionly there is not a
saloon. Kansas City , Kansas has
a mayor that the Governor of the
state is trying to get rid of. His
name is Rose , but under anyoth-
er name his administration would
smell as loud. He is the fellow
that said " Dam the law. God
couldn't enforce the liquor law in
Kansas and Jesus Christ wouldn't
try it. " In his disregard for the
law he discloses some of the at
tributes of a standard oil magnate ,
in his personal life he is said to
have the instincts of the street.
His chief of police is also named
Rose. He is a regularly ordain
ed preacher but hasn't been work
ing at his trade for some time.
The city is in debt three quarters
of a million , all incurred during
the joint system. The mayor
says "we can never pay this debt
without the joints ; " the people
say. "we can't go in debt much
faster without them than we
have with them. " And there
you are. Kansas City's ( Kansas )
ich men are all druggist. We
ilso noticed that the beautiful
homes in Ilorton are owned by
uen in the drug business. Ftin-
13' , isn't it.
.

*
Atchison is a quaint old town.
To read the Globe one would
think Atchison is as peaceful as
that harbor where the wicked
cease from troubling and theu
weary are at rest. But don't be
lieve it- I saw more drinking in
Atchison in one day than I saw
in Kansas City , Mo. , in three.
There were more small bottlesl
carried up stairs by the By ram
hotel bell boys one afternoon ,
than there was in the Baltimore
hotel in Kansas City in two days.
The principal amusement in
Atchison is bucking the slot
machine and playing pitch for
the drinks. There is nothing do
ing in Atchison except the Blair
mills , John Seaton's foundry ; the
committee of forty and the Atchi
son Globe. In Atchison they
tear the Globe into as many
pieces as there are members ol
the family and then exchange
the pieces. ISd Howe is the
Atchison Globe. He has built a
little house adjoining his home
where he does his work. There
are no windows in this little house
and the doors are double. He
wants to be alien to noise anc
people while he works. We fail
ed to discover * the necessity for
such precaution while in Atchi
son. One could work in compari-
tive silence and seclusion at the
busiest corner of Commercial
street. Howe is now on a tnj
around the world and is writing
his experiences for his paper
lie is homesick , the articles show
that. The readers of the Globe
will be glad when he returns for
most of Atchison is gone wher
Howe is away ,
* *
Speaking of Howe's trip , he
writes from Hong Kong some
thing that will appeal to most
men who have traveled ; it is tha
the expectation of wonderfu
things is never quite satisfied In
the experiences of a journey
The writer has seen much of hi
own country , a little of Canad :
and of Mexico. I have seen bu
one thing that was as great as
my expectation. I have been ii
every state and territory in the
United States save three , and
have been almost uiiiversall
dissapointed. When I first sa\
the mountains , they were not a
high , as majestic , as silent as
had expected. I know them belt
er now and am on better term
with them , but my first impres
sion was one of distrinct dissap-
pointment. T h c great , evil ,
cruel city was a failure. It was
noise ; md hurry , but it had no
personality. There was an undefined
.
fined something which 1 had ex
acted and was absent The de-
crl of the Muhave was awful in
ts glaring , despairing whiteness ,
ts blowing sand ami-its barreness ,
but it still was not satisliying ,
lot quite what I expected. The
'Ceun. ' the greatwaste of water ,
s the only thing of which I had
leard and read that I seemed to '
enow intimately when first I saw
t. To take a book in the early
lorning and go to the shore and
ie all day in the sand with the
iook forgotten , with nothing to
o but watch the sails far out at
ea , to hear the waves hiss , like
he night breex.c in the trees , as
hey finished lltuir world wide jour-
ey and stopped on the sand just
hort of where you were lying , to
ce the fogs gather and come in ,
o see the fishermen sail boule
vard at twilight and collect their
atch from the nets ; to hear the
vorld old personal story by list-
ning in contemplative mood to
vhat the wild waves were saying ,
oiling each man a different story
> y telling each man a story all
lis own. The ocean , the sound-
ngsea , is the only real and satis-
iying part of nature that I have
ver seen.
Howe in speaking of this sense
of something mKscd says :
"Wheit I was a boy I hated to
jo to bed at night for fear some
thing wonderful would go on ,
ind I would miss it. I have been
ooking for wonderful things all
ny life , without finding them ; I
lave come to believe there are no
wonderful things. I say with all
seriousness that I would rather be
it home at work than on a trip
iroutul the world. I sec many
unusual things but I have always -
ways had my best times in Atchi-
son. I never see a strange thing
that it does not seem familiar ; I
lave seen a piciture of it , or read
ibotit it There are a few things
lowevcr , that cannot be describ
ed , or pictured , one is the Grand
Canyon and another is the walled
city of Shanghai. "
* *
John StarUel and family live
n Atchison and are doing well ,
iitit John says he would like to
return to Falls City if there was
any thing to do. He is employed
in the oat meal mill and likes j
liis work , but Atchison is not
Falls City and he would rather
make his home here. Tom Mc-
Lain is employd in one of Atchi-
son's chief industries and seems
well satisfied , while Billy Kenter
and Ale arc conducting one of the
finest saloons there and to all ap
pearances are prosperous. Each
of these gentlemen spoke affect
ionately of his old home and
said he would rather live here
than in any other town on earth ,
but circumstances have compelled
them to seek other fields of en(1 (
deavor and Atchison seems the
favored localit } ' .
(
It is almost worth while to
spend a week in Kansas City ,
Kansas 1 , Atchison , Ilorton and
1I
Hiawatha , just to get back to '
Falls 1 City again. The peace of t
home 1 after a week of wandering
comes as near being the wonderful
,
ful thiny , the capture of "the
little blue flower , " as one can
hope for. The voices of children
saying their prayers , the hall
hour after they have been tucked
in bed that belongs to them and
mother and in which no mere
men may share , when the day is
gone over and they are praised
for the good done and reminded
wherein they have done ill. The
good nights said , the light turn
ed low , the hour with cigar and
book at home , the peace of it all
taht passeth understandingwith
out which this nation would not t
long endure but with which it is
destined to go onward tpwards its
destiny as God's youngest and
best government , the hope of the
oppressed of all people , the in
spiration of mankind.
What WeAreUpARalnst.
As heretofore annonned in
Wallace's Farmer , .Judge Uethca
of the federal court , decided
against the claims of the Chica
go Stock Yards Company and
set aside the decision of the in
terstate commerce commission
to the effect that' the railroads
running between Missouri river
poinls and Chicago should not
charge more for live stock for
dressed beef and packing house
products. Senator Foraker , of
'Ohio , though this victor } ' was
socomplele thai he soi-ured Ihe
insertion of the decision in full
in the Congressional Uecord , in
order thai il might have wide
distribution.
From the finding of fact niadw
by .Judge lielhea , as published
in the Congressionol Record , we
quote the following !
"Thai Ihe rales for carrying
packer's products and dressed
beef were remunerative. They
did not pay any portion of the
fixed charges and interest of the
railroad companies , nor its full
share of the operating expenses
bui they did pay more than the
cost of movement' leave
something to apply upon operat
ing expenses. "
This finding of fact is what
Wallaces Farmer has repeatedly
charged , namely , that the rail
roads do business for Ibis and
oilier trusts at practically the
cost of moving the stuff and rely
for interest and dividends upon
the higher rates received for
hauling the products ol the
farm.
On this point of profit Mr.
Ripley , of the Sanlu Fe , lesli-
lied that the rates between Kan
sas City and Chicago had been
forced so low thai every car
load hauled represented a loss
to the railroads , and gave Ihe
following figures : "Dressed
.Meal : Aclual cost per car
$82.19 ; revenue , $12.19 ; deficit
per car , $10. Packing House
Products : Cost per car , $85.0 ! ) ;
revenue , $50 , deficit. $290. ) . " In
this he evidently figures in all
the items of cost.
Another finding of .Judge
Bcthea is as follows :
"That the ruic-t in question
given lo Ihe packers at Missouri
Sg
souri river points and St. Paul
were the result of competition.
vT
The product ol the packers al
lliese poinls was large in quan
tity , was certain and continuous
in amount was in Ihe hands of a
few people , and for years be
fore the federal injunction of
March , 1902 , had been competed
for so strenuously by the rail
roads reaching and passing
through these points as to
can-e the culling ol rales and
Ihe ! giving of secrel rebates in
large amounts. "
As to the nature of thin com
petition we quote the lollowing
from the testimony of .Mr. A.
H. Sticknay.
"In fixing the rate on dressed
meal we don't have very much
to say. The packer generally
makes the rate. He comes to
you and always m.ilce * you feel
that he is } rour friend. Then he
asks what you charge for a cer
tain shipment of dressed meats. '
The published tarin" may be [
twenty-three ceii'S ' a hundre I
but he will not pay that. Yo i
say to him : I'll carry your I
meat for eighteen cents. lie i
says. . 'Oh , no you wont. I wont ,
pay tuat. " Than yousay , "Well
what will you pay for it ? " He
then replies , "I can get it haul
ed for sixteen cents. " "So you
haul it for sixteen cents a hun
dred. "
Along this line we also quote
the following from the testimony
of .Mr. E. P. liipley , president
ol the Santa Fe railroad :
"The packing house business
today is concentrated in so few
hands thai petition between the'
railroads , practically makes it
possible for the latter to dictale
rales for dressed beef and packing -
ing house products. "
Our readers will have no dilii-
cully in concluding that the ,
beef trusl and not the railroads
dictale what the rates on their
products shall be , and they make
V just low enough to barely
c&ver the cost of movement and
a little more , so lhal il can be
said on oath lhal the business
is in some sens-e remunerative.
It follows therefore from Judge
Bcthea's decision that whenever
a trust can furnish a large
amount of material uniform in
character ; , and furnish it every
week in Ihe year il is entitled to
have its business done at the
bare cost of movement , and com
pel other shippers who are so
scattered thai Ihey cannot con-
cenlrale their shipments to
carry Ihe bulk of Iho expenses
of transportation.
The same ruling will apply to
thesleel trust , the sugar trusl ,
Ihe whisky trust , or any other
trusl or combination. It is vain
for Colonel Hepburn or anyone
else lo tell the stock breeders
thai Ihey must form a trusl and
play the same game thai the
trusts do in order lo gel relief.
Jf this is all the solution they
can give us. we may as well '
look elsewhere at once.
The only remedy possible at
present is Ihe enactment of a
rate law that will put it in the
power of the commissioners to
compel the railroads to charge
as much for hauling the prod
ucts of the trust as they do for
hauling Ihe products of the pri
vate individual. If this is nol
done , Ihere is no power on
earth thai can prevent the pco.
pie of Ihe United Stales from de
manding Ihe government owner
ship of railroads. Other trusls
may be attacked by depriving1
them of Ihe proleclion which
they may have though tariffs or
through patents , or through the
exclusive ownership of articles
of public necessity such as coal
and lumber. In one way or an
other these problems must be
solved , or else the wealth of the
country will pass into the hands
of a few and democratic or re
publican government ( terms
meaning the same when used in
abroad sense ) will perish from
Ihe earth. Wallace's Farmer.
