THE GOVERNMENT AND
ITS WATERWAYS.

1t IS not unlikely 0OlWlIHSldHu
ing Mr.. Bryan's views on tn
subject, that the railroads will eve
become government property. The
will always belong to private per
sons, or corporations made up o
private persons, and by private
capital they will have to be main
tanned, while all the natural navig
able waterways are the property o.
the national government, and such
maintenance and improvement as
they may require must be done by
the government.
One of the most striking and
unanswerable arguments against a
government ownership of railroads
is the shameful neglect with which
the government has treated its
natural waterways. They have
mostly been left to take care of
themselves. The late Senator Glib
son, of Louisiana, once declared,
in speaking on the Importance of
the waterways and the enormous
service they would render to the
people of the United States if pro-
perly improved and cared for, that
if the Mississippi river were treat
ed by the government as its great
merits as a free highway of COM
merce for the heart OF the continent
demand, it would be walled with
granite from St. Anthony S Falls,
in Minnesota, to the sea, and would
have a depth of channel that would
carry great ships.
But being a government care, it
receives little attention in proper
ton to its importance, as do all of
the other natural water channels of
the government, while railroads
owned and operated by private
capital have driven the boats from
service. 1t is plain that if the rail-
road transportation of the country
were wholly in the hands of the
government, and should receive no
more attention than is given to the
waterways, the railroads would soon
be as unserviceable as the rivers.
This grand Republic, or mighty
Empire, as it will sooner or later
come to be, has before it a future
Of incalculable greatness. 1t pos
5esses all natural resources of wealth !
beyond anything known in any of
he powerful empires that have
gone before it, and it will be the
greatest of them all, dominating
his planet with its wealth and
power and its gift of free institu-
ions. OF course, like the others,
t will finally reach its end, but that
5 too far away to be considered.
One Of its most important duties is
o make the most of its great ma
ural waterways. There should be
10 delay, because if they are pro-
oerly developed for the uses of
all the outCry against
ne railroads will cease. The water
ways will regulate the railroads.
a FEW hundred acres out of the
many thousands which some own
iround Brownsville would scarcely /
,e missed. Cut up some of these
ands into tracts of ten and twenty
.cres for sale to actual settlers, and
he tide will soon be turned this
way. The more small farmers we
lave in this vicinity the sooner the 1
own will become prosperous.

Worthy of Imitation

The Street Committee of the Wild
wood Borough Council advertised for
proposals to furnish 200 pounds of ice
daily for the Boardwalk fountain for
the season of 1906. Nothing has con-
tributed to the prosperity of Wildwood
so much as the care taken TO please the
public, manifested by the city officials
in charge. Notwithstanding the
advantages had by those who are priv
ileged to breathe the invigoratipg sea
air on hot day, it is great public con-
venience to have at a convenient place
on the beach front an ice water fountain
accessible and free to the public. Ocean
City Council would do well to initiate
the Wildwood Council in this matter
and would by this add to the popularity
ofOcean City and meet public de-

of New York, who are experts in that
