THE RAlI.HO\!>S OR THE PEOPLE In the contest for the location of the World's Panama Exposition It would seem that n new and omlnou? factor has entered upon tho stage. In recent issue,, of the San Francisco newspapers have been making heaj llners of the news that the railroads want that city to get the Exposition. The Commercial Journal of Chicago * in a recent Issue declared It likely that "All the roads sppealed to, wllfr support San Francisco more or less . . actively." It Is asserted further, that. "If all the Eastern and Western roads bring pressure to bear upon their Congress* men, it Is probable that San Francis co will win with ease." Atentlon Is called to the fact that these roads employ approximately one million people and that the effect of such "pressure upon the votes of Congressmen Is appreciated by San Francisco." Evidence from many sources Indi cate that the Western city In depend ing upon the gTeat transcontinental railroads to trample upon the people and enable her to win the flght. I The confidence with which theeo I papers seem to assume that the trans continental railroads, through their Congresnmen. will control the situ ation In CongresH gives a sinister a? pect to the situation. Tho Railroad Lobby for purpoaekT that were purely selfish, delayed aadS defeated all efforts of the Amerioan people to build the Panama Canal during a period of twenty years. It is moving to defeat New Orleans now in order to enable three or four great railroad lines to hold up American and European visitors and exhibitors to the extent of the million,, of doi Jars represented by the difference be tween the cost of moving the crowd to New Orleans, and thai necessary to take them to San Francisco.
