Texas, fOrbidding the use OF passes,

improved by the amendment proposed
by Senator Bailey. of Texas. limiting
the court review. but the railroad in
fuence was strong enough to defeat
this amendment.
RAILROAD INFLUENCE.
II have no idea that the railroads
are going to permit regulation without
q shrugged. and | fear hat their in
fluence will be strong enough to very
much delay, if it does not entirely de-
feat, remedial legislation. You, in
this State, know something of the
railroad in politics. When | visited
the State and spoke for Mr.. GOebel,
| heard him charge upon every plat
form that the railroads were spending
large sums in opposition to his cleo
ton, and | have always believed that
the railroad influence was largely re-
sponsible for the assassination OF that
defender of the rights of the people.
Another reason which has led me
to favor Government ownership is the
fact that the people are annually plum
dered of an enormous sum by eXtOr-
tionate rates: that places are dis
eliminated against and individuals
driven out of business by a favoritism
shown by the railroads. You say
that all these things can be corrected
without interference with private own
ership. shall be glad if experience
proves that they can be, but no long
er hope for it.
President Roosevelt, although ex-
pressing himself against Government
ownership, has announced that only
successful regulation ear prevent
Government ownership. Is there any
Democrat who is not willing to go as
far as President Roosevelt and admit
the necessity of Government ownership
in case the people are convinced OF
regulation? l cannot believe it.
"Then, while we attempt to make
regulation effective, while We endeav-
or to make the experiment under
the most favorable conditions, with
the Democratic Party in power, let us
not hesitate to inform the railroads
that they must keep out of politics;
that they must keep their banda off of
legislation; that they must abstain
from interfering with the party
machinery, and warn them that they
can only maintain their private con-
troll of the railroads by accepting
such reputation as the people may see
fit to apply in their Ow n protection.
Without this threat our cause will be
hopeless. 1t remains to be seen whet-
her, with this threat, we shall be able
to secure justice to the shippers, to the
travelling public and to the taxpayers.

BRYAN At LOUISVILLE.
Gives His Reasons for Believing Govern
ment Ownership of Railroads the
Ultimate Remedy.

The following statement OF
VIM. j. Bryan's reasons for be-
lieving in government ownership
of railroads is taken from his ad-
dress delivered at Louisville,
KY, last Wednesday and printed
in the Picayune:
81 have been brought to regard pub
lie ownership as the ultimate remedy by
railroad history which is as familiar
to YOU as to me. Among the reasons
that have led me to believe that we
must in the end look to Government
ownership for relief, [ shall mention
two or three.
"First and foremost is the corrupt
ing influence of the railroad in poll
tics. There is not a State in the
Union that has not felt this influence to
greater or less extent. The rail-
roads have insisted upon controlling
legislatures; they have insisted upon
naming executives; they have insisted
upon controlling the nomination and
appointment of Judges. They have
endeavored to put their representa-
tives on tax boards that they might
escape just taxation; they have water
ed thier stock, raised their rates and
enioined the States whenever they
have attempted to regulate rates: they
have obstructed legislation when hos
tile to them. and advanced, by secret
means, legislation favorable to them.
Let me give you illustration:
1.-THE Interstate Commerce Law was
enacted nineteen years ago. After
about nine years this was practically
nullified by the Supreme Court, and
for ten years the railroad influence
has been sufficient in the Senate and
House to prevent an amendment asked
for slime and again by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. That rail-
road influence has been strong to keep
the Republican party from adopting
any platform declaring in favor of
rate regulation. When the President,
following the Democratic platform,
insisted upon regulation, he was met
with the opposition of the railroads
and every point gained after a siren
uOus fight.
''The bill was improved by an
amendment, proposed by Senator
Stone, of Missouri, restoring the
criminal penalty which had been taken
out of the Interstate Commerce Law
by the Elkins Law. This same amend
ment had been presented in substance
in the House by Congressman James,
of Kentuckey, and had been defeated
by Republican votes. The bill was
further improved by an amendment
proposed by Senator Culberson, OF

stance, however judges would have declared that
the odds were in favor of Cotton, whose weight
and long reach gave him evident advantage
over Fitzgerald in those respects, although the
latters reputation for strength and quick work
involved equation not easy to calculate
Fitzgerald followed his adversary into the ad-
joining room. Each drew off his coat and vest
and neckwear with studied deliberation and
placed them carefully on a chair
Cotton tossed upon the window seat two or
three pairs of lightweight gloves. Take your
choice" he said indifferently
Fitzgerald quickly fitted pair to his hands;
Cotton followed suit; and a moment later the
two men faced each other in the attitude of bat
tie their arms barred and their chests expanded
with deep breathing
There was no handshake. All preliminary
conventionalites were waived. This was to be
fight, pure and simple. Scarcely had each nod
ded his readiness ere the contest was on, and in
vigorous earnest.
The floor shook and the windows ratified with
the energy of the conflict. Blows were given and
taken thick and fast; yet there was not word,
not murmur, not an uttered sound, only fierce,
heavy breathing.
For fully fifteen minutes the struggle con-
tinued Then loud knock at the door brought
the performance to a sudden standstill Both
men were wet with perspiration and painting
hard. Fitzgeralds cheek was swollen and Col
ton was suffering with pain in the chest. So
far each had put up stubborn fight, and neither
was yet ready to desist. Love and pride were
at stake, and the aroused spirit of the savage
that comes to every man who is struck inspired
each with vengeful, angry determination that

He was still Illuminating when he arrived at the
lawyers Office, He opened the door hastily and
walked in. Cotton was alone. STOPPING over his
desk in the centre of the room he did not at
once look up
How you, Colton?" inquired Fitzgerald,
tucking his cane under his arm and preparing
to draw off his gloves. 'Ive dropped in in an
swer TO your note What can / do for you?"
Pushing back his chair, Cotton rose and ac-
knowledged the presence of his caller with curt
nod II thank You for being so prompt" he
said. Then stepping over to the door he turned
the lock and thrust the key into his pocket.
Now he continued, turning to Fitzgerald,
you shall not leave this room until we have
come to an understanding"
Fitzgerald slapped his gloves carelessly across
his left palm. "What sort of game is this you
are up to?" he demanded quietly
1t Is not a game of any kind replied the
other 1t is a mere matter of our coming to an
understanding"

Clubs stand first on the list, as they mostly
portend happiness No matter how numerous or
how accompanied, they are rarely or never of

signify JOY, hberaty and good temper. Diamonds,

his opponent must fall or cry for mercy before
there could be thought of giving up.
| The interruption from without aroused the
combatants to a sudden realization of the noise
they had been making, and each voluntarily
glared at the other and remained quiet for Il
moment. 1t an intimation to the one the
outside to go away
1t proved to be only the postman, who receiv.
ing no response after short watt discharged his
errand by dropping number of letters through
the opening in the door,
The momentary truce had made both men aware
of their exhausted condition. A few minutes
respite was eagerly craved by each of them to
regain his breath 1t was with feeling of thank.
full relief, therefore, that Fitzgerald saw Cotton
stoop and pick up one of the letters from the
floor.
To conceal any evidence of a desire to gain
time by so doing, Cotton endeavored by his man
ner to have it seem that his action was merely
an instructive response to habit In reality he
was more nearly exhausted than he cared to
admit, and he felt it essential to resort to some
subterfuge to delay the renewal of hostilities
With apparent Observation-Disclosures he mechani-
cally tore open the envelope he held in his hand
and passed his eyes vacantly over the contents.
Then, suddenly, without utterng a sound, he
fell against the wall and sank slowly to the floor,
where he remained motioness, his head dropping
upon his chest
Fitzgerald smiled grimly. He knew he had
landed two blows over the heart and he was
not surprised. Mingled triumph and satisfaction
added roster glow to his burning cheeks With
his handkerchief he calmly wiped the perspira-
ton from his face and neck and 'sauntered over
to one of the windows.
AS he did so his eye lighted on the card that
Cotton had taken from the envelope He picked
it up with hurried, impulsve movement, and
holding it to the light he gazed upon it as one
entranced After moment of breathless ten
sion he sank Imply upon the chair in the corner.
Cotton raised his head and looked up The
two men stared at each other for the space of a
full minute and then smiled foolishly. Actuated
by common impulse they repeated together,
in feeble duet, the words they had both read on
the card:
"Mr. and Mrs Charles Mervin announce
the marriage of their daughter, Mar
garet, to Mr.. John Harry Smith, Deceni.
Der tenth"
The two men rose and shook hands.
Get on your clothes and we'll go over to
McBride's and have drink" said Cotton.
"Im with you,' answered Fitzgerald
