GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP AND

cy. Today he is preaching the doctrine
of government ownership. Here and
there he hedges from his original &c
tum in his Madison Square speech, but
the fiber of his doctrine is that the gov-
inner shall actually own, as you own
your own house and lot, the railrotds
of the country.
Accordingly today the Democratic
party stands committed 10 The policy
of government ownership, and the Re
putlicans welcome the issue. Among
the big men of the Democratic party,
outside of Mr.. Bryan, a deep regret s
felt that Bryan saw fit o make that
issue. Here and there obscure newspa
pers are endorsing what Bryan saii at
Madison Square, but the BRAIN mer
of the party regret that their leader
has forced them into such a perilous
position. But he Democratic party will
nave to stand by the doctrine or repu-
diate Mr.. Bryan, and they will do the
former, for the simple reason that they
have no leader save Bryan, and they
will accept the former, rather than be
placed in a leaderless condition.
The issue has been made and it now
as it will be in 1908, between govern
ment ownership of all the vast railway
system of the United States. The n
policy has been tried and has proved
sufficient in most eases. The law has
from time to time been amended to
make it more effective, and the nav
act passed by the F%iftv-ninth congress
is acceptable to shippers and Other pat
rons of the railways as effective on all
points where the old law failed.
The simple question is whether the
government shall continue the present
policy of standing guard over the cit
liens rights and compel the railways
to do justice by shippers and communal
ties, or whether it shall purchase al
the railways and try to operate them.

land. A Republican congress this fall
means a continuance of government

RENT PAYS FOR LAND.
Fertile Sections of the Southwest,
Where Land Sells for $15 and
Rents for SIS Per Acre

One of the remarkable things about
eastern Arkansas and northern Louis

for So per acre cash, and can be bought
for $3.50 TO $15 per acre. 1t costs
from Sc to $40 an acre to clear It..
Other improvements necessary are
slight and inexpensive.
The soil is rich alluvial, or made. 1t
produces a bale of cotton per acre,
worth $45 to $50. This accounts for
its high rental value. Other crops,

AFTERMATH OF INVESTIGATION.
Bottom Drops Out.

West Poine Republican: The inves.
tigatiOn of affairs at the Norfolk asy-
Ium has ended. one by one the charg-
cs against Dr. Alden and some of the
attendants were taken up and sifted
to the bottom and, one by one, the
bottom dropped out of them. The ev.
idcnCc clearly rcfutcd the charges and
no evidence was more potent in this
direction than that Of the persons max
ing them II now must occur to even
the most prcjudiccd persons that DR..
Alden has been most maliCiOusIy ma
Iigncd and that the charges against
him are little short Of persecution.
One of the matters brought to the at
tcntion Of the investigation commit.
tee omanatcd from this county. II was
presented in good faith by DR.. Wells
of this city but was proven to be
without foundation in fact.
This fairly illustrates the character
of the charges made against the su-
pcrintcndcnt When the search light
was turned on, however they were
shown to be unworthy and untrue
II was difficult task that confront
ed Or. Alden, when he assumed the
superintcndcncy of that institution.
A system of discipline had to be in.
auGuratcd, attendants drilled and
many Oncrous tasks dcvolycd upon.
The ncwnoss of things and petty jeal-
ousics hampered him in the accom-
plishment of many objects and i'm.
paired the efficiency Of the manage
ment And yet, the investigation de-
veloped the fact that the institution
Is reasonably well managed and the
only criticism it suggests Is that he
should have maintained strlcter disci-
pline over the attendants. Naturally,
he wished to avoid being considered

and see few things for himself.
Upon application we received per.

services as guide Throughout the
building the greatest cleanliness and
good order prevailed. The beds in
which the patients sleep were in good
airy rooms and of better quality than

country can afford, the mattresses be-

AROUND TOWN.

Isn't it queer how some men are
so born that they can manage the
balEiest horse on the face of the
earth, and do it peaceably, while 9th
ers will so anger the nervous animals
that there is no tanning their brute
tempers? Now, for instance, there is
Bob Seller in Norfolk. Yesterday
morning Bob and Frank Scott drove
up Norfolk avenue with a nervous
team, white and a black. The white
was balky. The black was all right.
Right in the middle of the street the
white horse stopped and refused to
bulge another inch. A little coaxing
with the reins did no good, and Bob
got out of the buggy, walked up to
the head of the black horse, pulled it
to one side and off went the team as
gently as you please
When Bob Seller can't tame the
horse, nobody can. Here is what he
said, about how he does it: at amt
any use trying to coax the balky
horse. Don't pay any attention to
the one that's acting bad. Just get the
other one going and let the balky one
think he's starting of his own accord.
If he thinks he's doing it, himself,
he'll CO."
After all, these horses are a good
deal like people. Coax the balky ones
and they only balk harder. Let the
balky fellow think he's doing the lead
ing, everything goes we'll
And the real general in life is the
one who recognizes this fact-just as
Bob Seller does.
