THE ALTERNATIVE.

1t has been repeatedly pointed out
by President Roosevelt that if the rail-
roads are not willing to submit to
some sort of fair regulation of freight
rates the people will take the bits in
their teeth and insist on some drastic
measure. The drastic measure refer
red to is government ownership.
Joseph L. Bristow put the same
proposition plainly in his address at
Newton last Friday night. If present
conditions are to be remedied, he said,
it must be by the presidents plan of
giving a. fair, disinterested, able gov
eminent commission the power to
regulate rates on complaint, or it will
be done by government ownership.
Mr.. Bristow says he does not believe
in government ownership, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt also states that he
would deplore the passage of any
drastic measure" For this reason he
is urging the railroads to submit to a
fair regulation by the government.
Yet the great railroad magnates of
the country, with perhaps a single ex-
ception, are opposing any rate regu-
lation that will give the people relief.
With a short-sightedness that is
/ astonishing to the careful student of
current events, they are fighting Presi-
dent Roosevelt at every turn
The railroad magnates may think
that there is little danger of govern
ment ownership in this country. They
are so accustomed to attaining their
ends, with the use of money. if it can
not be done otherwise, that they do
not imagine that they have to do
otherwise than give orders to accom-
plish whatever they wish.
It is a wise railroad magnate who
will heed the lesson of the elections
Of last week. The elections were a
protest against graft and against cor
/ poration rule. This was especially
| true in New York. the home of the
/ money power How much would
the municipal ownership issue have

ONO on TIE REsUTT.

Ohio is getting wise. OF course many
Of the honest Republicans of the state
saw what was coming when the Re
publican state convention stood by Cox
and refused to come out for the Roose-
Welt idea Of railroad rate regulation, but
the leaders in control of the party were
blind. They thought they could hold
the rank and file in line. but they failed.
The Cleveland, Leader, one Of the two
or three leading Republican papers of
the state, publishes a triple loaded edi-
torial under the heading, THE Writing
on the WALL Here is what it says:
The people of Ohio have condemned
the Republican party in this state for
association with grafters. They have
sent the grafters into political exile and
have convicted the majority of the par
ty leaders Of cowardice and incompe-
tence.
Meme, Meme, Tekel. Upharsin
God hath numbered thy kingdom, and
finished it. Thou art weighed IN
the balances and art found wanting.
Thy kingdom is divided
THE handwriting on the wall is clear
now. It was clear to the Leader before
the campaign opened, but the wiseacres
who were managing the party could not
see it or feared to lock.
'Of all the CONSPICUOUS Republicans
in Ohio only William Howard Taft had
the courage to call corruption by It's
right name and to repudiate the arch
corrupter of Republican politics in ths
state.
New times call for new men. Some
Of the old Republican leaders viii sur
vive If they viii read the handwriting
on the wall. But the people of Ohio,
overwhelmingly Republican. demand
new leaders. They want men with faith
in the people, in the new school of poll
tics. men who put principle above party
loyalty.
THE need of the hour is leaders who
have the courage really to lead. to speak
out in defiance of bosses and corporate
control"

A SOUTHERN POET.

There are sometimes published on this
page-frequently in fact-poems credit
ed to the Houston Post. They are from
the pen of J. M. Lewis, Judd Mortimer
Lewis is his full name. who is one of
the most prolific and popular newspaper
poets in the country. Mr.. Lewis pre-
pares each day a column under the head
''TamDering With Trifles," on the edi-
torIal page of the Post, and it Is widely
quoted all over the country. It is usual
y made up of from half to two-thirds
Of column Of verse and the balance is
witticisms. And the verse is no ordinary
doggereI but it is nearly always good
poetry, sometimes touching, often hum
orous.
Mr.. Lewis has just published a volume
of his poems under the title, Sing the
South" which contains what he con-
siders his best W ork thus far. THUS
far is used advisedlx, for he is only
thirty-eight years old, and he has been
writing half d column or more of poetry
every day for years.
Probably Mr.. Lewis IS more like the
lamented Eugene Field than any other
living American writer. He can write
the same sort of child poems, the kind
that make you feel them, that Field did
A few years ago Lewis was a stereo-
typer. During the Spanish-American
war he wrote a dialect poem which he
gave to the Post. The attention of the
paper was attracted to him and he was
offered a place on its staff. He has been
with it ever since.
