BRYAN'S POSITION. Government Ownership of Railroad* Not an Immediate Issue, Declares the Great Nebraskan. William J. Hrvilli issues tlie following st : ! einoii I : "Government ownership is not an imiwdbpc issii". A 'arge majority ol the people siil litt] e lor effective regulation, While they s?? hope, they will iu>| consider government ownership. While many Democrats heliev< and Mr. Hryan is one of them, thai public owner;- nip in railm.ids is ; !i< :u:?in ; 1 e solr.iion the problem, still, those who believe that the public will Iitin)|y in self defence he, driven to ownership. recognize (lint regulation must he tried under the most favorable circumstances before Hip masses will be ready to try a more radical remedy. "Hernialion can not he sulliciciit I y tried within th" ne\! year. There is no desire ,?nywhere to make governmcnt ownership an issue in lflOS. Mr. Bryan l'i t|y agrees with those who believe that il would he unwise t) turn a'lent' .n fr.un regulation, on wnifh the people are ready to act, to government o vnership, ?,n which the people are not ready ?o act. To inject the i;o\ ei-nment ownership ijiieslion into the next campaign, would simply give representatives of the l nil roads a chance to doi'ge tin1 issue of regulation and deceive the public. So far, (he railroads have been siK-ce-sfnl in prevent ing effective federal re^ulat iou, and Staio regulation has .is a rule been restrained by the 1 uited Stales courts, l! is about 2(1 years since the interstate commerce commission was created. It required about 10 years for the court to find our that the powers conferred were insutlicient and then it took about 10 years to procure ail amendment 1 he railroads fought the amendmen' nt every step, and the president was finally forced to compromise with the railroad Republicans of the senate in order to procure their surport. " Kven that amendment, obtained with tremendous efTorf, falls short of what it should be. It aims lo stop passes and rebates. The railroads pro I it by both the stoppage of rehates and the prohibition of passes but extortionate rales still exist State legislation for the reduction o' rates has resulted in an agitation on the part of the railroads for legislation which will deprive the Stale ol authority and centralize all rate legislation in congress.

Finis Idlcman, pastor of the Christian church in Paris. 111., and one -, of ?ho most progressive ministers <n . the city, recently put into practice n 1 plan whereby mothers may come to . church on Sunday and bring all the (i children and not be caused any worry ! through fear that during the service the conduct of the little ones may an; uoy the pastor or the congregation, j says a Paris correspondent of the St > j Louis Post-I)lspatch. He has secured the services of Visa Rachel L. Hreiunienan of Bloomington, 111., 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 tilted up a room in the rear of the edifice, where the children nre taken during the progress of the scrv' lcos nnd taught ns they would be in a i kindergarteu. [ Miss Ltrciumennu says she will make i ber 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 little ones will not onlj' have no excuse for not going to church and their chilt dren's pleadings will supply an additional incentive for their attendance.
