 How far does your idea of public ownership go? Does it include State and national ownership and operation Of public utilities?
 ii believe that the national govern ment should own and operate the in terstate railroads, telephones, tele- graphs and express carrying systems.

They would not live in the face of the private conpe- tition that would spring up. It Is pos sible that the strength of great mo- nopoly like the Standard Oil Company might enable 1t to retain It's hold for several years longer. But it, tco. would have to succumb to the pressure of competition under free cystem
 The remarkable man who thus set forth the aims and scope of the public ownership movement, of which he Is now the acknowledged leader. has been for thirteen years a Judge of the Circuit Court of Illinois, and ranks third among the tweIty-eight Circuit Judges in the sourfness of his decis- ions, according to the determination of the court of last resort. He Is i've feet eight inches high, weighs 160 pounds, has a sturdy, erect figure, Iron gray hair that punches curiously on either side of his well-rounded. slight ls bald head.
 The strong, square countenance would be grim but for the pleasant ha- gel eyes and ever-ready smile. The nose is straight. the chin formidable, the mouth is set and straight. and the long upper lip covered by a closely cropped gray mustache.

The Case Up and Arguments Made al
 Montreal.


 Montreal. April 12.-The Gaynor and Greene case came up again today be- fore Judge La Fontaine, Donald Mac Master argued for the prosecution, quoting many letters and documents that were used in the trial of Captain Oberlin M. Carter
 When the hearing adjourned MT Mac Master had not concluded his argument The greater part of this was devoted to showing there was a crime for which Carter had ben tried and found guilty, he said, and there were many things which indicated that he was intimate with Greene and Gaynor and in league with them. MT. Mac Master referred to various checks and traced them from the accused to Captain Carter and en- deavored to show what disposition he had made of them. It was apparent, he said, that there had been an equal d. vision into three parts of the profit on the harbor work. one part going to Greene, one to Gaynor and the other to Carter. In one instance he pointed out, Greene received a check for $22,360 and wrote one for Gaynor for S23,360. Gay- nor then gave a check to some 'un- known" for $7.360. thus accounting fer a division of S45, 900.

Vast Areas of Grazing Land.

The great bulk of the vacant public lands throughout the West Is unsuit- able for cultivation under the present known conditions of agriculture, and so located that it cannot be reclaimed by irrigation. This vast area is and probably always must be of chief value for grazing. There are, 1t Is estimated more than 300 100000 acres of public grazing land, an area approximately equal to one fifth of the extent of the United States proper. The exact limits cannot be set, for with seasonable changes large areas of land which af- ford good grazing one year are almost desert in another.
