ger TO Roam at Large
Through Capital.

indianapolis, June 81. - Mayor
Bookwalter, who has been renominated
for another term, was scored al n
meeting of the Methodist clergy, which
he attended. The preachers charge
him with allowing gambling and open
saloons. In response to his request
that he be given Il hearing the mayor
was allowed to make an address. He
then boldly stated that the police de-
partment was entirely ignorant of any
gambling being carried on in the city,
of any Illegal sales of liquor on Sun
days or after hours or any other kind
of vice.
The preachers, however, refused to
take any action on the statements Rev.
Robert Earring, however, was soon on
his feet. He declared the mayors
statements were not true and that
gambling and vice did exist in Indi-
annapolis under the eyes of the police.

is serf. He who controls the high
ways by which we must move and
transport goods holds us in a sort of
serfdom. The third great bulwark
of the trusts is highways monopoly.
1t appears in every city in monopoly
of our streets by the public service
corporations and everywhere in the
privately owned steam railway lines,
controlled almost exclusively by the
same group of individual potentates
who own the other trusts. Whether
private individuals could under any
circumstances successfully compete
in business with the trusts may be
questioned, but it may be taken for
granted that, as long as the
stock of the railways and the trusts
are owned by the same interests, no
one can compete with either. There
are those who seem to believe that
proper restrictive statutes vigorously
enforced will cure this evil. l am not
in agreement with those optimistic
views. There is no force i'm law to
compel the single owner of two rail-
ways to compete with himself, nor
is it possible by statute to prevent
men as railway owners from granting
favors to themselves as shippers.
Against a combination so fortified all
the Quaker guns of mock strenuous
ness will be pointed in vain. So long
as this concentration of ownership
exists there can be but two kinds of
business in this country, that done
by the trusts and that done by con
sent of the trusts. So long as this
condition exists government of the
people, by and for the people must
remain a theory only and not a con-
dition. Be not deceived; there are
only two horns to the railway dilem-
ma. We must choose between rail
way ownership and the operation OF
government and government owner
ship and operation of railways. And
in the resumption by the people of the
control of their own highways will be
found the most simple and practic-
able way toward depriving the trusts
of their power for evil
