INVESTIGATION OF n /
PANAMA RAILROAD
BY A SELECT HOUSE COMMITTEE
is RECOMMENDED.
The United States a Stakeholder In
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ls
tiinted At.

Washington, Jan. t0.-An investi-
Railroad Co.. by n select committee Of
the house was today recommended by
the house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce. The resolution,
introduced by Representative Shack
elford, Democrat, was unanimously
supported by the committee and its
author was directed to bring the mat
ter before the house at the earliest
opportunity.
Representative Shackelford, explain
ing his resolution said that the United
States Is a stockholder in the Panama
railroad, and that 1t Is necessary that
| congress, before legislating for this
railroad, should know Just what it
possesses and the actual condition of
the road. -
1t costs 100000 year, he said, to
maintain the Offices Of the road in
New York city.
1T has come to fourteen members
of this committee" he said, 'in an
indirect way, that in 1903 previous
to the purchase Of the majority of the
stock of the road by the United States
the directors declared dividend that
was 100000 to 100000 in excess of
the roads earnings. l also under
stand that the railroad has contracts
with several of the steamship COM
panies, which are in restraint of
trade"
r. p. Townsend, Republican, said
the railroad was necessary to the con-
struction of the canal and congress
should know who owns the minority
stock, and how 1t is being manipu-
lated.
The committee refused to adopt the
suggestion of Representative Adam
son, (Dem., Georgia) that the execu-
tive department now negotiating for
the minority stock be asked for infor-
nation in its possession before con-
gress investigates on its own account.
Representative Shackelford said
that the committee should stop "sit-
ting around like seventeen wooden ci-
gar store Indians" and should take the
initiative. The resolution empowers
the special committee to compel the
attendance of witnesses.

NOT To Be IGNORED
SOME INTERESTING POINTS FOR
BANKERS AND BUSINESS

The time is rapidly approaching
when no business which depends for
its success on the patronage of the
general public can afford to ignore the
power and the commercial value of
newspaper advertising. In this pro-
gressiye and enlightened age it has
become such a science and has been
developed to such a high degree of
perfection that is Is one of the indis-
pensable factors in the progress of the
world.
There was a time when the banks,
Tor Instance, did not feel the necessity
OF appealing to the public through the
newspapers, but that time has passed
away, and it has recently been reduc-
ed TO certainty that, everything else
being equal, the bank which adyer-
tises has a distinct advantage over
one which does not.
FIVE years ago some banks in Pitts
burg began to advertise, and recently
they measured the results by compar-
ing their business with that of banks
that did not advertise. In the five
years the banks that sought new bus
mess through printers ink gained 3S
per cent in assets and So per cent in
deposits. The other banks gained 81
per cent N assets and II per cent In
deposits. During the last year the
former gained 22 per cent and the
latter lost per cent In deposits.
There simple facts carry their own
story with them They show beyond
doubt that advertising-is highly
effective in increasing the business of
a bank, and this is but a reflection
of the same conditions which prevail
III every other modern business.

ovation TO WILLIAM j. BRYAN
He Was The Principal Speaker at the Annual Ban
quet Of the Jackson Club at Lafayette, Ind.
A Presidential Boom.
STRONG PLEA FOR GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

Lafayette, Ind, Jan. 10.-Flve hun
dred well known Democrats were
gathered in the annual banquet here
tonight under the auspices of the local
Jackson club, and it was plain that
Col. William Jennings Bryan, who
made the principal speech will have
many supporters for the Democratic
nomination for president in 1908. In
nidentally Mr.. Bryan sounded the key.
note of campaign for government
ownership of public utilities in a
strong speech.
Thomas Taggart, national Demo-
cratic chairman; John w. Kerne,
Judge Owen p. Thompson of Jack
sonville ILL.,, John Hoffman, midi
annapolis, NJ. e. Foley of Crawfords-
vile, Ind, and George r. Durgan Of
Lafayette were also ON the program,
while several other well known Demo-
Gratis present rose for short talks later.
While no name was directly men,
toned as a possible Democratic presi-
Dental candidate for 1908, that of Col.
Bryan was indirectly mentioned in
that connection several times and it
seemed to please the leaders present
Mr. Bryan was given an ovation and
his talk was given the closest at
tentlon.
Thomas Taggart, national chairman
declared that he is more than ready
to cast his lot with the western Dsm-
ocrats, Mr., Taggart denied reports of
friction between himself and the ma
tional executive committee, stating
that never had there been any trou-
BILE between them. He landed Bryan
for his work on the stump during the
campaign and also all those who sup
ported the party. He laid the defeat
to the lack of policies in the Demo
cratic platform.
William Jennings Bryan was the
principal speaker of the evening,
Government Ownership" being his
subject Mr.. Bryan said in part:
THE party's position on imperialism
has been stated in two national pre-
ferments and | do not see how the
party can recede from that position.
Coloniallsm is antagonistic to the
principles Of republic, and we cannot
stand before the world as the repre-
sentative of the doctrine that govern
ments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed and at
the same time declare for the perma-
nent holding Of distant islands under
government resting purely upon
force.
The partys position upon the trust
question is the only correct one.
That a private monopoly is indefen-
sible and intolerable ought to be ac-
cepted as an automatic truth. and a
sincere belief IN that truth will lead
our party to favor legislation both
civic and criminal which will effec-
lively protect the public from the
evils Of priia monopoly.
"The partys position in favor of
tariff reform cannot be abandoned
without conceding the right of the
government to tax those who con-
sumo the products of protected in
dustries in order to enrich the own
ers. The tariff cannot well be con-
sidered without considering the in
come tax for no general reduction
OF tariff can be made without either
large decrease in the expense of the
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1905-01-13

| government or the establishment of an
| income tax.
The party's position upon the la
Dor question is the only one con-
sistent with the paitys purpose. No
matter whether the laborine man
appreciates what the party does for
him or fails to appreciate, the party
must insist upon the protection of the
rights of the wage Garner.
And what of finance? The gold
Democrats blame the silver plank for
the defeats Of 1896 and 1900. / hope
/ that no one will attempt to make sill
yer the scapegoat again.
while members of the Democratic
party are dealing with national ques-
| tions they must also deal with state
and municipal questions and the
same principles which govern them in
dealing with national questions will
govern them when dealing with ques-
tions of state and city.
There has been rapid growth Of
sentiment in favor of municipal own
ership of municipal franchises. At
the beginning of the last century near
| ly all the cities obtained their water
supply from private water companies;
now, nearly every city of any size,
has its own water plant and those that
haze not, ought to have. The owner
ship of lighting plants comes next
and each year finds a larger num-
Der of cities providing their own light
and furnishing light at cost to their
people. The municipal ownership of
street car lines are acquired. Where
competition is impossible, and a mon
opoly unavoidable the benefits of the
monopoly must accrue to the whole
public and not to a few favored in
dividuals. Municipal ownership of
natural monopolies is not only neces-
sary to protect the people from extor-
ton, but for the publication of city
government and city politics.
Not only must the city own the nat
ural monopolies of the'city but the ma
tion,, and the state must for the same
reasons follow the same course in re-
gard to the monopolies that come
within their sphere of operation. The
consolidation Of railroads, the giving
of rebates. the making of discrimin-
ations, the watering of stock, the
charging of excessive rates, and a cor
ruption of public officials-all these
are combining to force upon the pub
lie the consideration of the railroad
question.
while | am anxious that the vir-
tue of government supervision and
regulation shall be fully tried, find
myself inclining to the belief that pub
lie ownership is the only permanent
cure for the evils which have grown
out of the management of the great
arteries of trade by a few individ-
uals who have only their own pecun-
iary interests in view and who ex-
ploit the public to the extent that
the traffic will bear it.
Il believe that the federal owner
ship of trunk lines and the state own
ership OF the network of local rail-
roads will furnish a solution of tbe
problem. State ownership of the null
titude of local lines would give the
people the benefit of public ownership
wlthout the dangers of Capitalization
and the federal ownership of trunk
lines would answer the purpose of
interstate commerce"

Templeton, however suddenly summoned to
Europe by the illness of his fianc6e, and succeeding.
after her recovery, in persuading her to continue
her tour wedding-journey, thought and heard
more of John DeCamp and his affairs in nearly
a year; but one morning soon after his return to
America DeCamp burst into his office and dragged
him out to lunch.
I'm going to set up a big spread in return for the
trick you played me at Seabrook Beach last sum-
mer," said DeCamp the two took their places at
the table.
''What tricll?" Temp1eton asked innocent1y

Alfredo told all about how you interviewed her
before breakfast on the day we made those fool
tests and begged her to do certain things, the pur
pose of which you would not reveal. | fancy she
thought you mildly insane; but your suggestions
seemed to be harmless she decided to carry out your
requests
Seems to that, after my departure you and
Miss Suarez must have cultivated a cordially that
foreign to your relations when | was at Sea-
brook Beach," said Templeton, with obvious
attempt to evade the point at issue.
"Cordia1ity?" cried DeCamp a sunrise radiance
overspreading his face. "Why, man, Alfredo and
[ were married more than two months ago You
see Temp1eton" he continued after the ebullence
of feeling produced by this announcement had sub
sided after you left, l got to thinking the thing
over and it occurred to that Alfredo had met
all three of those tests successfully, and that if
stood by our plan, as | had said | would, she was
the one to whom l should propose; and somehow,
as soon l began working along that line, l dis
covered that Alfredo really outclassed those other
girls
You always were dead slow, DeCamp," Temple
ton remarked. THAT impression fixed itself in my
mind about fifteen minutes after l met the three
young women; and that why sought the ante

it barely possible that something might be done

Looks as though we must arrange a new series
of tests to be applied when Miss Suarez isn't
present. However, you still have untried
pertinent to go ahead while I'm considering
the matter and trying to determine what would be

'A11 right; only don't fail to think up something.
I'm and more convinced that we're on the
right road to daylight. We might have been there
by if the Suarez girl hadn't thrown us off the
track"
Templeton saw no more of his friend until about
eleven o'clock that night, when DeCamp knocked
at the door of his room.
The third test just much fzzle as the
others, said the young fellow disgustedly, seating
himself and lighting cigar, and Alfredo Suarez
was to blame. You see, | couldn't find tramp

a story of being the sole survivor of ship

miles down the coast, and of wanting to raise
