HKAIy THY Hl'HIMMH UR _ LOVE FOR WAtER CREATES PARING SPIRITS FOR ALE. What ,1s "Water"? The answer of the average man today would be: "Tho total issue of stock a and bonds of the railroads, a'ooro their coat." We will not deal in the large fig turos o? the total railroad investment. When the Burlington fthen ? the Kansas City, St. Joseph's A Council Bluffs Road.) reached Cltj. it found a struggling town built on the hank* of the Missouri; Leaven worth was as large If not Farger. The Burlington bridged the Missou ri'and secured the subsidy of a large ?action of land for terminals, When the land In Kansas City was not worth much. 8t. Joseph also gave It land. ' q The advent of this road secured for Kansas City, its first real im petus. so that today It Is one of the leading business cities In the Unit ed Statee. Wide boulevards that would do credit to Parts, beautify this great city of wonderful growth. It ranks sccond In the country as a packing center and first as a mar ket for loug leaf pine. It is seventh as to bank clearances and Its many beautiful homes Illustrate (hat It Is one or the most attractive residence elUee Ir. the new world. The Burlington Road inaugurated Kansas Clty'a prosperity and many millions of dollars were -made through the increased local values, originated by this railroad's advont. Tho Kansas Ctty land given to the Burlington, worth at the time com paratively Little. Is probably valued today at $5,000.0<M> and doabtleaa earns interest on this sum. Is this "Water"? aj Similarly; tho corner of 9th and Walnut streets. Kanaas City was worth, (at the time this other land was given to tho Burlington) prob ably 92.000 per hundrdi feet; It is doubtless now worth and pays In terest on 9600,000. Is this "Wa ter"? When the Burlington Road first rame lo Kansas City, there ware on ly about 50.000.000 people In the United Statee, now there are 90. 000.000 and the railroads are every where the chief factors of this growth. Since the Burlington created such tremendously increased land values ("Water"), in Kansas City, should not tholr creative factor, the Burl ington Road, be entitled to Just a little Increased value?through bond or Stock Issues?"Water"? The camel is about the only ani mal that can long exist without wa ter and Its home is the desert. If we are to be denied "water" (In creased value) in railroads or other buslnees, there will be a desert here, ?we are not camels, and who wants to be a camel? Even the camel will drink water when he can get It. "Water" Is as necessary in busi ness affairs, as it is to sustain hu man life. When a section of our Isnd lacks rain, plant life withers, crops fall, and starvstlon faces man and beast; while the same region, scientifically Irrigated, as growing plants demand, will blossom like the rose. ' It is the same In the bualneas world. Take away the "water" (In creased valuee or-profit), and there is a failure of good, healthy, busi ness life,; depression of business, people out of work, 'panic and star vation follow. Just as In a drought stricken section of the country. "Water" (Increased values) Is the raalniprtng of Ambition; "water" has conquered the world; without man's lore for "water" there would he no business life. People like to look ufeoa water; it Is health-giving. They build their summer homes by the lake and the sea. It is the same wfth a man in business; he likes to se<* "water" 'Increased value). It warms the cockles of his heart, and nerves htm" for the greater endeavor and it brings health to tho business r-Wta) em.. the Al pushing back borders of thfc West. lighting I tho Indians, wresting the region from thorn.'for "water." Pioneers crossed the Plains, abandoned homes and civilisation, starved and died. to. reach California, to find "water" (gold from the mines) Men start manufactories, work ont patents, bulid railroads, take life chances and riiks for "water.'''. . Most people who do not care for water do little upbuilding; they in vent In 6 per cent and 6 per cant loans, or government bonds, and | vegetate. / * Tho love for "water* creates dar ing spirits, who cross the sea to pioneer in newv countries, expand trade harness water ?power. erect great edifices, light cities, print pa-| pert. sail the'seae, tunnel the rivers, build telephone lines,?all for "wa ter" (profits from thfir work.) The nation which unwittingly dries ?p the natural business springs stops progress, and wreata ambition from man. ? ' [ ""I -j To eliminate "water* (possible ln cr eased profits) from railroads would atop their extension. On western trails, In the ohlan days there were signs telling the number of miles to wat^r, and theee signs dften stimulated endeavors of travelers, almost dead with thirst, and enabled them to bold out until the water was reached. In place or inaugurating measur es which squeeze "water* out of the railroads, it would be far bet ter for out cation to point the way where "water" coo Id be developed, through the building of new ralfc roads, and other business enter JjHu. iNoah understood water, floated a limited company and survived: tho res^ who took no stock in It were d row nod You will find all gteat cities bor dor lain, river or ?ea. And. too. yon lind great buslnec sartivtty, labor employ e4, and prosperity -pn t?very Land, -when there ? is a oha?ce for "water" (Increased values) In burt nees life. Look af tho wonderful strides re cently taken Hy, Argentine. Mexico, and Canada; note the millions and millions that havo gone into those countries in tl# last thirty years i What has attracted this great capi tal? It Is Che chancc for "water." which has caused this wonderful prosperity. Look at the market val us of the Canadian Pacific and the* Mexican Railways, brought aboi:t I simply because these nations do not object to reasonable profits ("wa ter") in the roAds. And the United States hsd far' better encourage man's natural and honest life for "water," and the na tion's future will be aa progressiva as Its past, l.et lis not force our! people to become camels, and oui land a desert: A traveler in one of the Southern! states, on a country road met an old darkey, whose poor, starved mule drew a heavy load; the wag on's shafts peculiarly extending two feet beyond the mule's head. Tied between the protruding shafts was a fine bunch of green grass, but so | far In advance of hla nose that the ssd mule could not recrh r tempting Timothy. The traveler stopped the old darkey and asked: "Why the Dickens have you t>ut that grass where the mule can't reach It?" The.old darkey laughed and said. "Boss, that bunch o* # grass am an JnQbntlf!" "A what?' asked the traveler. "An incentlf." replied the dar W. "What is an incentlf? "WJiy, Boss, an incentlf am some thin* peeking ahead, on' mighty well! worth walking for. Boas; dat gras3 am an Incentlf to dat *ero mule; It I looks mighty good to him, like as, ef he walk far enough, he gits It; j t but ef I gif it to 'lm now' he's for-j git It and plum sudden stop walkin'J I knows dat mule. Boss!" It Is the same In hnslnes? life; the Tiope of "water" ahead is what keeps men walking and working, it is Incentive. The darkey's philosophy applies* I to men as well at to the male. 1 The recent failure ot railrfiad ef AMERICAN LADY CORSETS The most wanted kind. Another Shipment Just Received.
