DITION OF POLITICS Educational Quafiion UrgE d. to be Im partially Enforced. Will Apsure White 66minatio6. Nd Fear of the Negro. Atlanta, Dec. 1.-The annual ban. qnet of the Chi Phi fraternity was held here tonight. Prominent mem bers of the society were present from many sections. Judge Emory Speer of the United States district court wvas the principal speaker. * His subject was "The Student in Politics." Judge Speer condemned sectionalism and spoke of the posi tion of the south as it is . today in national politics. He said in part: "Eternally must we strive until wo regain the high plane of moral of constituitional American politics. Who can estimate the intellectual *and political degeneracy which is threatened to the youth of these southern States by habitual depar ture from 'that -lof.ty principle, the *sovereignty of the individual voter, which is the basis 'of American *government. "What sentient Georgian was there who did not blush with shame when a delegate from this.Sta'te arose in a recent national convention and at,erred that he came from a.. State which would support any candidate the convention might cioose, nomi nated upon any platform tlfe conven tion might adopt. 3 "What, theD, is the one thing nee'l fldjrestore and make perm *anentnormingolitical methosis in the southern Stts? It, is a vital inquiry. :For nearly '-. third of a eutury the whito> men of the south have sutrendered their political con 'viction for fear of the spook of negro *domination. The negro will never *dominste the white man. Great harm * has been done when unscrupulous ~er liaie used .the voters of ignorant ecorruptible members of the race in municipal or-other local elections. There the dainger lies.' But concede that negro domrination is a real and not an imaginaryr por tent. The easy and the obvious rernedy is at hand.

The proposal was adopted amid cheers and bravos. Mr. Kruger was greeted at the station here by the burgomaster and council lors. A choir of 000 men and girls chanted psalm 72, verses 0, 7 and-11: Dr. Spink, the president of the local South African association, made a long welcoming address, as suring Mr. Kruger of the deep sym pathy of the entire Dutch.nation.

It would not be so if adopted by many otherbroads of country, for the conditions are not similar. The Nort hern roads have soon -business-that had been worked up by them for the settlement of the coun try diverted to the Southwest be caulse the raites.were made lower. The making of the rates to the intending settler is an important factor, as ox. perience has demonst rated. Again, the pbject in placing the limit for these excursions so far ahead is that the homesoekor may mia.ke his calcu lations in advance, knowing that when he is reddy to move the low rates will be in force. The homeseekers going to the far WVest ar-e really in search of homes. For two years little other travel has taken advantage of these rates. This would not be true of Eastern roads if such rates . were adopted. The traveling public would monopolize such reduction, and perhaps the brolle mnight benefit. As a business proposition it is but in line with J. J. Hill's shrewd fore sight. His road 'differs materially from'others, it is operated and con trolled largely by one man, and is conducted as he would condtwet a private business. Hie knows thmat when the country along his road is settled tup he will h ave more business. If no inducement wore offered to the settlchment oif the millions of acres of land along the Great Northern it might be a great many years before tXh trafflecof the road would equal its facilities. The only way to make iny business pay is to work it to its full capacity, and nowhere isi this-.*more apparent than in railroading. If twenty trains can find work where now only one is operated the proportionate increase in revenue will be more than twr>nty times as great, and the production of revenue is the fundamental and final object in operating a railroad. All the traffic it can handle is none too much. This is evidntly Mr. Hill' et fakiU ever before have ing to buy any X meetheart, now ic H'S is :ek. Ten solesmen an cut prices.

H long-headed enough to soo that by sa?rificing a few dollars in railroad, fares -now he will reap thousands in the near future throligh the industry of these samrte hoieseekors in the do velopment of the country. Ordinary methods vould be too slow. There are long stretches on the Great Northern, as there are on all of the transcontineLtal roads, where there is no business whatever for the road. There are sections where, if they could be separated fron the sys tom, would show great loss. Many miles of unprofitable trackage is oft en represent in a district which as a whole returns a profit, and there is 110 way to make every mile profitable except by increasing the traflic. T1he traffic can only be increased by set tlemenit and developmrent. The growth of the great West may go on for a century. Its vacant lands may all be taken up in twenty years, or they may .be absorbed in five years, depending upjon1 the energy displayeod in settlement; but if the land is brought under cultivation in five years instead of twenty yours it is quito apparent that the railroads will have the advantage of fifteen years of increased traflic, every year increasing over the other, and, wvith the diversity of interests represented, dlecreasing the liability to crop fail ures. That is what the Great Northern proposes to do, anid this is what other roads will do if the manage ment can over see beyond the im mediate returns of revenue and adopt a more liberal policy.
