BRYAN'S POSITION. Government Ownership of Railroad Not an Immediate Issue, Declar es the Great Nebraskan. William J. Bryan issues the follov ino St.!terent: "Government ownership is not a immd'1ate issu. A !arge majoritv the peop.le stil' bore for effective rep ulation. While they so hope, the will not consider. government ownei ship. While many Democrats belies and Mr. Bryan is one of them, th. public owner:.iip in railroads is ih antim3e so;tin of the probi>en still, those who believe that the pul lie will finally in self defence be drii en to ownership, recognize that regi lation must be tried under the mo; favorable circumstances before th .masses will be ready to try a mox radical remedy. "Regulation can not be sufficientl tried within th next year. There i no desire anywhere to make goveri ment ownership an issue in 190W Mr. Bryan ft ily agrees with thos - who believe ihat it would be unwis t-) turn attent;.n fram regulation, o w1iich the people are ready to act, t government o vnership, on which tb people are not ready to act. To ir ject the government ownership que, tion into the next campaign, woul, simply give representatives of th railroads a chance to dodge the issu of regilation and deceive the public. "So far, the railroads have bee suecessful in preventing effective fed eral regulation, and State regulatio has as a rule been restrained by th Uuited States courts. It is about 2 years since the interstate commere commission was created. It require about 10 years for the court to fin out that the powers conferred wer insufficient and then it took albotl 10 years to procure an amendmen The railroads fought the amendmen at every step, and the president wa finally forced to compromise with th railroad Republicans of the senate i order to procure their surport. "Even that amendment, obtaine, with tremendous effort, falls short o what it should be. It aims to sto: passes and rebates. The railroad profit by both the stoppage of re bates and the prohibition of passe but extortionate rates still exis' State legislation for the reduction o rates has resulted in an agitation og the part of the railroads for legisla tion which will deprive the State o authority and centralize all rate legis lation in congress. "The Democratic party must mee the issue presented; it must resist th encroachments on the authority c the States. It must insist upon th exercise of federal power for the res ulation of interstate commerce andi must insist upon the exercise of Stat authority for the exercise of all of th power vested in the State. Thi question has grown in importance di ing .the past year and its prominene will be increased if any attempti made to impair State authority. Tb Republican party is as impotent -t regulate the railroads as it is to es -terminate the trusts and to reforr the tariff. " The Republican party has in thre national campaigns demanded effet -tive railroad regulation, while th Republican national platforms hav been silent on the subject. The pres *ident has partly adopted the Demc ci,atic view on this subject, but so fa * the Republican leaders have resolute ly opposed it. The president is kzelr ing to educate the people up to th need of railroad regulation, but hi party, under its present leadership., * powerless to accomplish this or an other important reform. If the Den ocratic party wil elearly and unequi' cally demand first, the ascertainin of the value of all the railroads; set ond. the preventing of over-capitali zation; and, third, the reduction o rates to a point where they will yiel only a reasonable return on the ree value of the roads. it will commen itself not only to Democrats but t those Republicans who have been le to study the railroad question. Th railroad situation presents a vita issue and the issue should be so stat ed that every one can nrder7tan :1 th party's position.'' Friends! 0. S. Martin. in "Success Magazine.

Who suggested homecoming week? As the reunion of all Kentuckians draws nearer and the magnitude of the undertaking becomes more and more e apparent, this question constantly re ) curs, and the answer Is-Miss Louise e Lee Hardin, says the Louisville Cou SOer-Journal. Miss Hardin Is. one of Kentucky's daughters whose brains and energy e have,made.heime of the most proml t nent c1ib women In the United States. SShe is at the head of several women's t organiations, Is - the editor of a pro s gressive monthly magaine and-is vice President of the Kentueky Society of Defver, which 1s now her home. -' It was during the early part of July, 1905, that Miss Hardin, then on a visit to Louisville, called up R. E. Hughes, P secretary of the Commercial club, and suggested homecoming week. It was her first visit to Kentucky for a long s time, and so overjoyed was she to be back to her old Kentucky home, so Spleasant did she flnd the renewal of -Its associations, that she could not re f sist the desire to do something to bring ' the other Kentucklans back for a few .days at least. fWhen she called up the Commercial club Miss Hardin explained her rea sons for calling Mr. Hughes and asked if the Commercial club would not uin t dertake to arrange a meet of distin e guished Kentucklans who had won f fame and fortune outside. of its bor e ders. Mr. Hughes suggested that the .nvitation be more general and, being ~much impressed with the Idea, request ted Miss Hardin to write a letter 'which ' could be read to the directors of the e club setting forth her plans in order s that It might be formally acted upon by Sthe club. e ODD AUTO BED DESIGN. e Indiana Student Rides on Seven 01 Headed. Ten Horned Leopard. -In the building of the bed of his aui tomobile that Benjamin Lukens o~f An derson, Ind., has brought out for the season he cast aside all the customary E styles of the front, end or ,dashboard Sof the machine bed and substtuted It e with a combination animal that he e whittled out after getting the sugges .tion from the vision of John on the Isle of Patmos. as told In the thirteenth chapter of Revelations, as follows, says ra special dispatch from Anderson, Ind., to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "And I stood upon the sand of the e sea and saw a beast rise up out of the s sea having seven heads and ten horns, ~and upon his horns ten crowns, and .upon his heads the name of Blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion." -Mr. Lukens carved out the wooden form of a leopard and had It spotted leopard fashion. He surmounted it with seven heads of strange animals, arranged in a circle. Ten horns act as the back of a chair, and the crowns are on the guard rail of a chair which D [s intended for Mr. Lukens' dog. The new machine is painted a bright yellow e except for the combination animal l front, which is in brown, yellow and black. Mr. Lukens is a Bible student of emore than local celebrity.

Dividing the Horses A certain merchant of Bagdad left in his last will and testament seven teen horses to be divided among his three sons, according to the following proportons-namely:- The first was to receive one-half, the second one-third and the youngest one-ninth part of the whole, but when they came to arrange about the division it was found that to comply with the ter&'ns of the will with out sacrificing one or more of the ani. mals was impossible. Puzzled In the extreme, they repaired to the cadi, who, having read the will, said that such a difficult question re quired time for deliberation and rec ommended them to return in two days. When they again made their appear ance the judge said: "I have considered your case and find that I cgn make such a division of the seventeen horses among you as wi'A give each more than his strict share, and yet not one of the animals shall be injured. Are you content?" "We are, 0 cadi!" was the reply. "Bring forth the seventeen horses and let them be placed in the court yard," said the cadi. The animals were brought in, and the cadi ordered the groom to place his own horse. with them. He then bade the eldest brother to count the horses. "Tbere are. eighteen in number. O eadi," he said. -"I will now make the division," re. Jponde~fhe cadi.~"You,~the eldestiare entitled. to half; then take nine horses. You, the second son, are to receive one third; take, therefore, six, while to you, the youngest, belongs the ninth part namely, two. Thus the seventeen horses are divided among you; you have each more than your share, and I may now take my own steed back again." "0 cadi," said the brothers, "your wisdom equals that of our Lord Soro man!" Where Ignorance Is Bli..

Ill.. and one of the most progressive ministere in the city, recently put into practice a plan whereby mothers may come to hurch on Sunday and bring all the children and not be caused any worry through fear that during the service the conduct of the little ones may an noy the pistor or the congregation, says a Paris correspondent of the St Louis Post-Dispatch. He has secured the services of Miss Rachel E. Bremmenan of Bloomington, [11., one of the best kindergarten teach ers in the state, who, with the assist ance of a few of the women of the church, has fitted up a room in the rear of the edifice, where the children are taken during the progress of the serv Ices and taught as they would be In a kindergarten. Miss Bremmenan says she will make her end of the work so attractive and profitable that the children will beg to be allowed to attend the kindergarten sessions. Thus the parents of the lit te ones will not only have no excuse for not going to church and their chil Sren's pleadings will supply an addi tional incentive for their attendance. The kindergarten Is only for the chil ren who are accompanied to church by their parents. A New Plan to Stop Spitting. Chief of Police Paul Milliken of CIn onnati has adopted new tactics in the war against spitters in street cars and public places, says a Cincinnati dis patch. He directed patrolmen to hand to any one seen expectorating In a public place a card on which is printed: "Spitting menaces public health. "Spitting on sidewalks, in public con veyances or in public places is liable to communicate disease. Do not spit." The other side of the card bears a copy of the city ordinance. Th Strieken City.
