"The peoples party declares in IA
vor of government ownership of rail-
roads and telegraph lines. But no.
where in it's platform does it indicate
a plan to secure this end. Why charge
that we are in favor Of purchasing all
the railroads at once at their capitalized
value, including the watered stock, and
issuing bonds for the amount and tax
ing the people to pay the bonds? No
populist has ever proposed any such
thing. The railroads could be bought
and paid for within twenty years out
of the net earnings and savings without
taxing the people one cent, or increas-
ing the present rate of freight and pas
senger tariff. But the people are al
ready taxed on every dollar of capital
represented by railroad bonds and
stocks to the extent Of ten thousand
million dollars. They are taxed in
freight and passenger rates which they
have to pay the railroad companies.
What the peoples party desires is that
the money which now goes to pay divi-
dends on stocks and interest on bonds
shall go toward purchasing the rail-
roads and eventually owning and oper-
ating them at greatly reduced rates."

Dutch Charlie" queer character of
Cowley county, Kansas, who is known
as the prophet of Brandon, has made
the announcement that the Arkansas
valley will be swept by three terrific
cyclones this summer. The first one is
to come in June and will be very de-
structive, the second one, in July, will
be even more disastrous than its pre-
decessor. The third is to visit the val
ley in September. It will leave death
and devastation in its wake. Many of
dutch Charles" prophecies have been
fulfilled, and those who have faith in
him will begin the construction of cy-
clone cellars at once.
