WHO WOULD MANAGE?
T. E. Byrnes Scouts Idea of Government
Ownership of Railroads.

In an address delivered in New
Haven recently Thomas E. Byrnes,
vice presidenc of the New York,
Haven and Hartford railroad dis
cussed government ownership as
follows:
Many people are advocating
government ownership of trans
portation companies. What state
or city has shown such skill in the
managing of public affairs that
it should be trusted with the
problem of transportation? Not
Pennsylvania, where the public
officials occupation seems to be
shaking the plum tree. Not
Philadelphia, where the honest
men have almost lost hope. Not
New York, where the divekeeper
becomes boss and millionaire be-
fore his family has time to move
from the rooms above the saloon
to the mansion his new money has
secured. Not Chicago. which
with all its Boosting, can not keep
its streets clean. and where in
many quarters life is not safe after
dark.
In many places the men who
manage the public affairs have
never succeeded to managing their
own, and it is those who most
loudly insist that they are the men
to be given places of tIust. On
the other hand, the men directing
the problems of transportation in
this country today are, generally
speaking, men of great ability
and high character. Will we
| depoSe these men and make this
problem, which is so essentially
bound up with all kinds of bust
ness, an additional prize for the
politician who to say the least, has
not won Our confidence?
The steam locomotive is doom
ed; it is on its way to the scrap
pile and electricity will take its
place. Rates will be less because
power will be cheaper and service
will be more frequent for the same
reason. = Galveston Tribune.

PERSONALITIES In DEBATE.

The speech Of Senator Carmack at
the Auditorium Wednesday night inn
pressed his hearers, as all the speeches
that he has delivered in this cam
paign have impressed those who have
heard them, that he is man of large
intellectual qualities, capable of grasp
ing easily and firmly public questions
and of effectively handling and pre-
sentlng them In debate. But his

An Approved Play.

What the Cincinnati Enquirer
says of "Dora Thorne:' A large
audience gave its seal OF applauding
approval to this bit OF stage litera-
ture last night. Judging from the
applause, the production is just
whal the theatre-goers want. Dora
Thorne, as story, is too well
known for comment, but 1t must be
admitted that the playwright has
improved upon the plot to such an
extent that the play is far more in
teresting than the book. Dramatic
license is somewhat elastic at times,
to say the least. and in the play the
most dramatic and exciting points
of the book are brought out with
decisive action and clearness. Nor
is the comedy found wanting; much
humor is intermingled with the cpl
sodes of the drama, making as a
whole play novel and interesting
in the extreme. Reynolds Opera

EASTER SHOPPING.

Saturday was one of the greatest
shopping days ever known in
Union City. We are told that the
sales aggregated something near
the top-water mark. Every sales
man and saleslady was in a rush
all day, and with extraordinary
help there were not enough to wait
on the custom. Numbers from
various nearby railway points
were here, and we are led to con
lecture with reasonable logic that
the free fare proposition offered
by the Commercial Club was great
ly responsible for the presence of
the visitors. A railroad ticket is
a great inducement for trade. 1t
not only stimulates trade from a
business view alone, but is attract
i've to those who wish an oppor-
tunity to visit friends, and Incl.
dentally to do some shopping.
Great scheme, gentlemen.

BRYAN AND PUBLIC OWNER
SHIP.

1t was stated ten days ago that
the name of William Jennings
Bryan would be exploited at the
Jefferson Day dinner as a capdi-
date for the Presidency in 1908,
but this was frowned down later
by such conservatives as August
Belmont, John Fox and Thos. +.
Ryan, who, while satisfied that
Mr.. Bryan's silver policy is dead
beyond resurrection, are not in.
clined to help along his boom until
his position on Government and
municipal ownership shall have
been defined. While the trend is
towards Bryan they are in hopes
that if he again becomes the party
standard bearer his views on pub
lie ownership will not be so radi-
cal as he has in the past expressed
them.
Appropos of this Mr.. Bryan's
views upon that subject are tersely
and succinctly couched in the fol
lowing language:
"Individualism will be defined as the
private ownership of the means Of
production and distribution, where
competition is possible, leaving to
public ownership those means of pro
duction and distribution in which
competition is practically impossible;
and socialism will be defined as the
collective ownership through the
State or all the means OF production
and distribution.
And the Memphis News Scimi-
tar indorses it as follows:
"This is terse, but complete and
comprehensive. Rarely has so much
been said in so few words. 1t is clear
statement of the difference between
Democracy and Socialism. The Bryan
conception of Democracy is the only
thing that will save the country from
monopolistic oligarchy on the one
hand and prevent the rule Of the COM
mune on the other"

think it makes votes for a United
States Senator, or for man who is a
candidate for the Senate, to present
his cause in this manner.
There is too much OF tendency on
the part Of candidates for Office,
whether it be for Senator or Governor,
to lower the dignity Of that Office by
attempting to secure it through per-
sonal abuse Of an opponent. The can
didate may not know it, but the peo-
pie are not so much interested in them
as they may think, and they do not
care so much what one thinks Of the
other. They want to hear public ques-
tions discussed, and Judge for them
selves whether the man who discusses
them has capacity and fitness and
whether his views are such as to COM
mend him to their good opinion. The
people who vote are becoming more
Intelligent every day. They know a
hawk from hand saw. and they are
not complimented by continual and
constant array of talk from one can
didate about another.
We are not taking any part in this
campaign for the Senate and the Gov
ernorship. We are neither for Car
mack or Taylor, nor Cox, Patterson or
Bond. All, in our judgment, have
sinned In the manner which we have
outlined, and we believe we speak for
the people when we say that there
should be an end of this method Of
campaigning Nashville American.
Exactly; that is what we have
argued right along, and that is
why we say there can be no pos
sible advantage to the party in
Democrats making a joint cam
paign. for nomination. Carmack
and Taylor are both using person
alities to boost their claims. What
would they do on the platform to-
gethers II would he simply farce
and disgrace to the State. This
old custom did prevail once to
some extent, but there was nothing
to gain except little satisfaction
to those who wanted to satisfy a
morbid taste much after the fash
ion that they would witness a pu-
gilistic mill or a bull fight. The
discussion of economic conditions
in national issues is set aside alto
gether, or nearly so, to make
ridiculous display of the candi-
dates combative elements and pre-
sumption. That is about all there
is in joint canvass between men
of the same political faith.
