Want Government Ownership.

I YAzoolC1TY, Mss, stpa. Upon
his return yesterday from attendance
upon the international Peace Confer
ence in London, John Sharp Williams
minority leader in the House of Repre-,
sentatfves, was asked for an expires
sion of opinion concerning Mr.. Bryan's
Madison Square Garden speech. and
especially with reference to his advo'
cacy of Government ownership of rail-
roads. He replied that he saw no
good to be accomplished by state
ment from him at this time ON this
subject. 49,
Mr.. Williams added that Mr.. Bryan
had made a great speech, taken as
whole, and on twenty.six out of TWEEN
ty.eight propositions laid down by
Mr.. Bryan he was in perfect accord.
On one he was in partial accord, and
upon one only in complete disaccoFd.
Il have already expressed in a
speech on the floor Of the House my
views in favor of strong, complete and
Governmental control of common car
rlers, to the end Of equal and reason
amble charges" said Mr.. Williams.
al also expressed my opposition to
Governmental operation and owner
snip, and my reasons for believing
that white people Of the South will
agree with me in this opposition"

able to compel the Parker men TO &C

one great fault OF his earlier public
career was his lack of open-minded-

mind once and for all upon all posi-
bic questions, and he seemed unable

a long lifetime to expend in battling

has always had very dangerous love
for settling things by. hastily reducing
them to the form of a dictum of eter-
nal and immutab1e application. The
danger Of this habit of mind is that
the coined phrase that expresses a
policy may become a sort of religion
to the moan who takes 1t up. Thus.
Mr.. Bryan, after his defeat in 1896.
was SO sure that his "16 to !" money
doctrine was at the root OF all things.
past, present, and future, that he was
ready to spend his life as the martyr
of a lost cause. Later on, he showed
the same tendency in his theoretical
attitude toward what he called inn
perialism," and not less so in his attf-
tude, which was purely argumentative.
toward trusts" 1t was not his meth
cd to study things in the concrete and
reach conclusions about Imperialism
or trusts through an intimate acquaint-
ance with facts and conditions, but 1t
was his method, on the contrary, to
proceed along abstract lines. building
up syllogisms like the logicians and
sophIsts of old. But although this
,ioctrinaire tendency has always been
so strong in Mr.. Bryan the corrective
has to great extent been supplied
by his wholesome contact with practf-
cal American life; and with a man
of his character and traits, the alb
struct point of view is much more like
ly to show itself in speeches than in
actions. In an executive office like
the Presidency Bryan would probably
be almost as free from reckless desire
to test untrled theories, and to make

revolution had many connections III

gres to visit him. Among them was tho
canon Of st. Denis. On leaving the
