A Bold Speech.

The question asked why we make
the Florida East Coast railway SO
prominent in our columns. The rea.
son why we do this is because the
railway is one of the most prominent
factors in the development of this
country and is therefore entitled to
all the prominence We can give it. 1t
has decked our coast with beautiful
gems in the form of magnificent ho-
tells, thus enhancing the value OF
property and attracting thousands OF
homeseeksrs and visitors to our
country 1t also pays very large
per cent of our taxes; thus helping
us to pave our roads, erect our pub
lie buildings and educate our children,
and now it has undertaken at a very
great cost TO drain our low fertile
lands and make it possible for the
man of moderate means to live and
be happy under his own vine and
fig tree. Who wouldn't feel kindly

The California wind poppy is an
other variety of the common culti-

BRYAN AND HIS CRITICS
The Pensacola Journal Reviews His Madison
Garden Speech.

The great speech delivered by VIM
]. Bryan at Madison Square Garden
Thursday night in response to his
welcome home by the united democ
racy of the nation has been variously
estimated and criticised by both press
and public.
There are few. democratic papers
that have not found much to approve
in Mr. Bryan's powerful enunciation
of what he considers should be the
policies of the party, and it may be
said that there are few that also have
hesitated to disagree with him on GER
tain personal views which he express.
ed. The main point which the critics
of his address attack is the statement
th"t he has reached the conclusion
that railroads partake so much If
the nature oof the mnopoly that they
must ultimately become public pro-
perty and be managed by public Off
cials IN the interest of the whole COM
munity in accordance with the we'll
DEFINED theory that public ownership
is necessary where competition is i'm
possible"
This proposition is attacked by
many of the persons as radical and
dangerous, but thinking men long
since recognized that the railroad
question. is really the overshadowing
issue before the American people to-
day. Il is now and has been for years
the paramount issue in state politics,
and it will for years to come be a
growing issue in the politics of the
nation. Whether it will be solved ~
by private ownership and operating
under government regulation, (2) gov
eminent ownership under private OPP
GRAFTON, or CD government ownership
and operation, is a matter for the fu-
ture to unfold, but it must clearly
find a solution under one of the three
hea1 s mentioned.
Mr.. Bryan thinks personally that
government ownership and operation
Will ultimately be necessary, but he
is not attempting to force his opinion
IN that respect on the party. On the
contrary, in referring to the matter,
he says:
j don't know that a majority of
my own party favors it, but believe
that in increasing number of the
members of all parties see in public
ownership the sure remedy for dis
between persons and poll
tics and for the extortionate rates
for the carrying of freight and pas
SEM ers."
There would seem to be no reason
therefore why the opponents of gov
clnment ownership 81 ould have any
nervous spasms over Mr. Bryan's %,
sitlon On thai question aid, cutsiGs
of those who are hunting an excuse
to oppose him anyway, we do not be-
l;eve that in expression of personal

since expressed the conviction that

would prove the final solution of Il

! question tnat overshadows all other
public issues in the nation today,
and that, whether we like 1t or not,
the trend is in that direction and the
result is inevitable. But that, how
ever, has nothing to do with Mr..
Bryan's commendable spirit of frank
ness or with the next national plat
form of the democratic party.
On the great questions of the tariff
the trusts, imperialism, capital and Ia
Dor, government by Injunction" the
eight-hour day, corporate control in
politics, the income tax and the popu-
lar election of senators, not only the
members of the democratic party, but
we believe majority of the American
people are heartily in accord with Mr.
Bryan's utterances. He leaves no
doubt as to where he stands on any
of those issues, and his treatment of
them is as clear-cut and definite as it
is bold and convincing.
We like Mr.. Bryan's speech and we
are entirely agreed with the New Or
leans Picayune, paper that has never
been friendly to him, in its assertion
that his speech must be considered
as one of the most notable and mo-
mentous declarations of public policy
that has been presented to the Ameri-
can people since the violent issues
which brought forth the sectional war
Iof forty years ago were settled" In
fact our New Orleans contemporary
goes further and says:
Mr.. Bryan's speech shows more
than ever that the next national cam
paign will be between democratic
radicalism and republican radicalism
In the present temper of the people
Mr.. Bryans great speech will sweep
the country, and the opposing party
will be driven to put up its radical
president to meet him. The great
trend of American politics is towards
control of the machinery of produc-
ton and industrial operation in the
hands of the federal power and the
constitution will be strained to the
utmost under the pressure.
There is no question that Mr..
Bryan's speech is the most powerful
political presentment that has been
givn to the people since the early
sixties of the last century, and if
signs mean anything it is the opening
note of another revolution, as were
the great speeches on both sides of
1860 and 1861.
1t is yet two years before the dem
ocratic party will adopt platform
and nominate national ticket, but if
in that time the spirit of radicalism
continues to grow as it has grown in
the past two years, those of us who
prefer radical rather than conserva-
tive treatment of public issues will
probably find Mr.. Bryan's speech of
Thursday night a bulwark of conser-
vatism when compared with the tenn
per that is likely to actuate the
American people the further they go
under the domination of private mo-
nopoly and corporate insolence.-
