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.

inquiry. :For nearly '-. third of a

* has been done when unscrupulous

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

LOW HOMEsEEKER'
President Hill Will Attempt to Accomplish
in a Fw Years What, in thc Orti.
i nry Course of Eventp, woui
Require a Life Thne-Set
ilement Along Great
Northern
The action of the Groat Northern
itt putting in effect very low home
seekers' rate and extending the time
until May 1 next is a legitimate and
businest-liko move. 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.

in settling up the vacant lands. 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. For further
