It is the ht of anybody to submit any kind manuscript to a newspaper for pubAtion. It is the right of the editor I accept or reject such manuscript as sees proper. In the case of accept- r and publication th<- manuscript or J y oth?-r copy, belongs to tin- <<litor Kii do as he likes with. If the manu- ? ipt Is rejected it is supposed to go Sti the waste basket, unless it has been J oinpanied by return postage- It is Wi Htniiiiiihli. for an nflitnr to borrow ' I < ; h manuscripts as he may desire up- j. a promise of return if he wants to ho; hut no contributor has a right , demand or expect the return of used Einuseript or other copy. < , , Mil i IVe are doubtful as to the wisdom of ? vernment ownership of railroad#: J t we have no doubt as to the wis- i m of government regulation. It was j J Ihoun who first warned the country j it unless the government controlled ^ ; railroads the railroads would con- < d the country- As we see it, govern- q* nt ownership of railroads could very t ickly resolve itself into railroad ^ nership of the government. But it t iuld lie foolish indeed to claim that i greatest danger to the railroads or c government is expected from the J lroad workers. There is absolutely c danger whatever on that score, beuse than railroad workers we have t better citizens in this country. They w? as patriotic as anybody, as honest. , brave, as humane.
