pooling under the inter Estate COM
merce Law. Whether it passes or
not railroads will get through all
right. They will never be controlled
satisfactorily until the people, in
stead of private corporations own
and operate them. Much less NAV it
be expected that they will be curbed
by a party whose representatives
herd together like sheep in defense of
railroad interests, as they did in the
Kansas legislature and as they are
doing in the national congress.

While the Republicans are be-
rating the Populist representatives
for not passing a railroad bill it is
we'll to keep in mind the fact that
every single Republican member of
the legislature stood like stone wall
for the railroads and against any
sort Of a railroad bill. They were
handled like a bunch of sheep.
That would be nice outfit to 60 to
in disgust from our own party's short
comtDgs. They are a duplicate Of
the solid south, when it comes to
figuring on results in railroad
legislation, so many votes solid
to whom only few of the oppo-
sition are necessary to be drawn to
defeat the will of the people.

champion of the rights of tine people

fight almost single handed, but is
giving the majority considerable
trouble. Dingley and Payne, who
pay little attention TO the speeches of
OF the Democrats, always feel impelled
to reply to Mr.. Simpsons arguments.

and discusses 1t it needs some ex-
PLANTATION or defense by the time he is

Simpson has some very cratic ideas

The daily annex Of the VOICE in its
issue of last Monday attempts TO deny
that the VOICE has been bargained or
sold to W. o. BaShOre and intimates
that Naugle would not sell at any
price. The Mail repeats that the
VOICE has been bargalned and sold to
BaShOre and money put up on the
deal and all that is needed to close up
the deal is for Bashore to pay the
balance Of the purchase price. We
also venture the opinion that Bashore
will do business in his own name and
that he will openly own the Evening
Journal when he takes charge of the
office. Time viii demonstrate wheth-
er the Mail can be depended upon for
reliable news in this as in all other
ENTHUSIASTICALLY Mail.
We have no desire 10 mix in this
scrap between the Mail and the Jour
nal but since the VOICE is the bone
of contention we would say that we
object to being sold and transferred
to Judge Bashore or anybody else
without our permission. The Voice
has not been 4" bargained anu sold"
to Judge Bashore, and we can now
say definitely that it will not be. No
money was put up on the deal, the
VOICE will not try to assume owner
ship of the daily Journal-property
on which il has no claims whatever
and it is therefore plainly evident
that "time has demonstrated" that
the Mail cannot now, any more than
ever before, be depended upon for
reliable news in this or any other
particular. Next!

$4,000 per year while the operating
