Mr.. BRYAN Retaliates

Mr. Bryan has discovered that his
government ownership proposal is OF
Republican origin. lie has found
paper written several years ago by Chair
man Knapp. OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission. in which Mr.. Knapp argued
that government operation of railroads
was not only practicable. but highly de
sirable. Mr.. Bryan intends TO have
this paper printed in pamphlet form and
given wide circulation in the interest Of
his pet scheme.
The Springfield Republican comes to
Mr.. Bryan aid with the statement that
he could so back some twenty years and
bring out a report made by the Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce. SEN
ator Cullom chairman which said:
The time may come when the people
OF the United States win be forced to
consider the adVisability Of placing the
railroads of the country completely under
the control OF the general government
as the postal service is, and many be-
heve the telegraph service should be. This
would seem 20 DE the surest method of
securing the highest perfection and great
est efficiency of the railroad system in its
entirety. and the best method OF making
"a harmonious whole in its operations and
Of bringing about that uniformity and
stability of rates which is the greatest
need OF trade and commerce"
A fair exchange is no robbery. Tho
Republican administration has appro-
priated and put into effect some Of Mr.
Bryan's ideas. lie is fairly entitled,
therefore, to take from them as much
as they have taken from him.
