The Railroads
And the Public.

In recent issue the Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal says:
Mr.. Hearst says he does not believe
in private ownership Of public proper.
ty, or public ownership of private
property. 1t is hard to understand
then how he can believe in municipal
or state ownership of railroads. There
has seldom been a railroad that was
not projected, financed, put through
and developed by private individuals
When individuals have thus created q
property, it would seem to be private
property, that the public has no right
to own.
The Commercial-Appeal is mistaken
A railroad is a public right Of way
and when such right of way is accept
ed by railway corporation, the road
to certain extent, becomes a public
institution, having, as it were, entered
into a partnership with the state
That this is true is indicated by the
fact that a railroad cannot pick and
choose its passengers, but must carry
whoever applies for transportation
Were our railroads, as our Memphis
contemporary contends, purely private
institutions, they could refuse to sell
a ticket to any person they saw fit,
just as theatre can.

MUST STAND TOGETHER

It behoO=es those who believe that the acquisition of seli-government is the question of first importance with Alaskans to prevent the fruition of the attempt of the tories to diYide their forces and conquer them iu detail. There is no doubt but but that 8 very large majority of the people favor home rule. They believe the time is at hand when there should be 8 government in the north of Alaskans, by Alaskans and for Alaskans. But if this majority is to be effective in securing results it will be necessary for those who consti- tute it to work in unison at the coming election.
 There is no doubt but that the op- pouents of territorial organization for Alaska have united for the purpose of capturing the republican convention which has been called to meet at Juneau, July l4. They hope to dictate the course of the convention and then augment their numbers by the votes of those adherents of that party who have been accustomed to vCting the ticket under all circumstances. To further this they have lsbored diliget- ly to get a democratic convention called. That would add to the partisan aspect of the contest and arouse the party spirit of those whom they would have forget local issues. This partisan brand of politics is being used as an auesthetic to put the people asleep while the special privileged class make secure for a little longer the prerog- atives of government that of right bsloug to the people.
 To prevent the accomplishment of this scheme and make sure of self-gO7- erumeut for Alaska U is necessary for those who favor home rule to refuse to divide their strength. They should make the issue so plain that none need vote in the dark.
