HE URGES REFORM
W. j. Bryan Says Supporting Parker

Direction.
FINANCE is IN ABEYANCE
State Ownership of Railroads and
Government Control of TeIe-
graph Advocated.

Lincoln, Neb., July 22.-W. J. Bry-
ans plan for the reformation of the
democracy has been published. Bryan
favors changes. but advocates the cleo
a good beginning. He declares for
state ownership of railroads, govern
ment control of telegraphs. the abOl-
ishment of private monopoly, favOrs
the income tax and the election of
federal judges by the people. Bryan
says the money question is for the
present in abeyance.
Necessity Not Apparent.
production has lessened the strain
upon the dollar, and while bimetalism
is as sound in theory as it ever was,
the necessity for it is not so apparent" "
He says he considers the time ripe
for the presentation of the question of
governmental ownership of the rail
roads He considers the purchase of
railroads by the federal government
more Objectionable than the plan in
voIving ownership by the several
states. The former plan. he thinks,
would mean an enormous centraliZa-
tion of power and give the federal gov
ernment an increased influence over
the citizen and the citizens affairs
solved by State Ownership.
If the railroads were owned by the
states the objection based on centraliZa-
ton is entirely answered, he says, and
discusses the two propositions at some
length. He sees no reason why this
nation should not do as other nations
are doing-embrace the telegraph sys-
tenn as well as the mail system in the
postoffice department.
Bryan also argues in favor of the
income tax. and says the contests he
has outlined must be made whether
the party wins in November or not"

yesterday over the Malacca accident
has given way to n calmer and more
rational view. The feeling in high
official circles where exact knowledge
of the attitude of government exists
is that the case will be speedily and
satisfactorily adjusted.
The Russian position can be stated
in a few words. While not admitting
the Russian captain seized the Malac-
ca without some warrant, Russia will
accept without question Great Brit
aims assurance the war munitions on
board the vessel were government
stores bound for the naval station at
Hong Kong and order the immediate
release of the ship. At the same time
she will maintain her right TO stop
vessels believed to have contraband of
war on board and detain them If the
manifests are not plain as required by
the international law.
