AS TO TICKET ascALPlNen

A decision OF considerable interest to the
railroads OF Texas was recently handed
down by Justice Hasner Of the court Of
equity Of the District OF Columbia, Tho
decision related to the matter of usket
"scalping" and in it Justice Hagner perma.
uently enjoined the ticket brokers Of the
Capital City from selling the low rate ex'
cursion tickets issued and sold by various
roads on account Of the eneampment o. the
Grand Army Of the Republic
On frequent occasions in the past Hous-
ton, and practically every other city in
Texas, has been confronted with the ticket
acalpors question The committees in
charge OF the No.Tsu-Oh festival and other
celebrations of like character have found
1t practically impossible to secure minimum
rates from the railroads without promising
10 see that the low rate tickets were not
handled by the ticket brokers'
On at least one occasion the Houston city
council attempted to legislate in the prem
Uses, and while the efforts OF those interest
ed has probably been productive Of more
or less good, the fact remains that the case
against the bartering Of railroad tickets has
never been fully made out.
The defense OF the brokers of Washing
ton was in line with that Of the Texas bTok
ers, They claimed that their buslnesH was
! legitimate and that the roads which estab
liehed a Joint ticket agency at Washington
during tho encampment were guilty OF VIC
lation Of the Sherman antitrust law. The
court held that the low rate tickets ISSUED
and sold on account OF the encampmon
were absolutely void unless used by th,
/ persons to whom they were originally sold
! The final findings of the court are best tolt
OF in the following paragraph from a recon
news Dispatch
! As to the claims OF tho defendants that III
/ roads violated the ant-trust law the court hel'
| that the Joint ticket agency could not be con
sidcred in that light tho agency had nethnl
/ to do with the liking OF rates, Further, th
! defendant had shown that they were vioBGu
I the law and could not prcsu defense Oh
violation of law by another party.
1t would seem that Justice Hagner's de
ciaiou is OF such nature as to DO extreme
ly valuable In all dsnroemeuts on the nut
iect Of ticket scalping IN the future,
1t is more to the interest OF tho puhli
than 1t is to the railroads that the ecalpin
business be stopped.

(From Bryan's Commoner. !


The Missouri State Republican, published at ST.
Louis, in its issue of October says:
Bryan receives $4,000 from the State demo-
cratic campaign fund for speaking in Missouri
II is apparently, purely commercial proposition
with him. He must know, for it has been pub
lished far and wide. that the men in actual con-
troll of the Missouri democracy have declared
against the issue which he himself raised and
which is the only possible excuse for his oontinu-
anee the political stage. In accepting pay
for advocating his principles Bryan descends TO
the level of common entertainer, in line with
Marshall P. Wilder or any other vaudeville
star
The Republican is the official organ Of the re-
publican State committee and this charge is re-
produced in order that the readers of the Com
moner may know the desperate and mendacious
means resorted TO by the republican leaders
Now as TO the facts Upon invitation of the
democratic State committee Mr.. Bryan delivered
twenty speeches in Missouri The subject of com
pensation never mentioned. The commit
tee never offered and Mr. Bryan never asked
for any compensation During the trip through
Missouri he asked to send In statement of
his expenses and he replied that he was interest
ed in the campaign and preferred to contribute
his expenses to the campaign fund. When he
reached home, however, he found letter from
| the committee saying that the committee would
not consent to his paying his travelling expenses
and enclosed check for two hundred dollars
with request that he inform the committee
If that did not cover his outlay Mr. Bryan
returned the check, saying that his expenses
did not exceed one hundred dollars ard aaai,
asked that the amount be considered a contrih,,-
ton to the campaign fund. Now these are the
facts and they could have been secured from
either the committee or Mr.. Bryan. Why did the
Republican publish this deliberate and inexcusa-
bic falsehoodf And why will less prominent

THE IMPORTANCE OF A DEMOCRATIC

it belieges that every democrat in the coun-

on November A.
ThereaGeem little reason to doubt that
much Of the present political apathy is due
10 the mistaken idea that II will be well to
let the republicans continue to control the
house for two more years.
The Post has discussed this matter at
length on ono or two previous occasions,
but now. with the election only day or
two more than two weeks distant It seems
that there is justification for another re.
ference to It, BY remaining away from the
polls because OF the belief that victory
this fall will do no good, democrats will un.

enemy and make all the more difficult the
task of attempting TO win the National con.
