ings In 1895 90, 1890. Now, however, they
are not merely giving special low rates
to the welcome home at New York, but
the most unusual rate OF about one fare
for the round trip. This is causing re-
mark. Some people are asking whether
the roads are trying to turn the welcome
to Bryan into a rebuke for Roosevelt1 It
may be supposed, however, that they are
not preparing to make Bryan their special
candidate FOR the presidency. They can
hardly prefer policy OF more or less
limited public ownership of railroads to q
very mild policy OF public regulation.

Bryan's homecoming speech, deiIv-
cred at New York. reveals both new
and old phases OF his chafacter. That
Colonel Bryan's horizon has been
broadened by his tour of the world
Is evidenced in many ways. He has
been impressed as never before with
the overshadow1ng Importance Of the
great world problem of banishing tho
grim specter OF war and preserving
peace between nations. He sees clearly
that the United States In it's newly
achieved position as a world power
must take a constantly greater and
greater part in the solution of these
problems. He sees, also, that many of
the questions he had previously been
discussing as peculiar to our country
are really common to all civilized
countries and sometimes international
in their scope and can be finally set
tied only by the combined action of all
the progressive nations.
On the old subjects, however, which
have been at issue here in recent
political campaigns, Colonel Bryan's
attitude is apparently unchanged He
does not recant on his free silver fall
lacy. He persists in denying the valid
ity of the underlying principle of the
protective tariff. He remains welded
to his vagary OF state-owned railroads
and he declares that efforts to regu-
late trusts and combines are futile and
must give way to their absolute ex-
termination. He emphasizes war
against trusts and nonopolies as the
keynote--the paramount issue as it
were - overshadowing all others.
Strangely enough, throughout the en-
tire address with all it's wide range,
he gives half-veiled credit TO President
Roosevelt for the notable achievements
already made toward curbing the
trusts and absting corporate abuses,
although at the same time intimating
that in the execution of his program
the president has adopted democratic
instead of republican doctrine.
Another thing that must strike ev-
cry one forcibly is the undisguised
partisan flavor of the speech. People
had been led to believe that the home
coming reception to Mr.. Bryan was to
be largely of a non-partisan character
the spontaneous popular outburst
in tribute to the return Of distin-
guished American citizen. Colonel
Bryan, however, has seized the op-
portunity to preach a partisan, demo-
cratic sermon plainly purposed to
bid for votes for democratic candi-
dates in the pending congressional
elections. We believe he would have
appealed much more strongly to the
whole American people had he confined
himself strictly within non-partisan
lines and demonstrated that he could
on such An occasion rise above the
narrow limits of petty politics.

Nv Y6rk Medicai journal


The heat OF the summer, with the in
creasing scarcity and advancing price Of
Ice. reminds one OF the great role ice PLAYS
in the treatment Of sick and convalesccnt
persons. Not long ago we referred to the
question Of water meters IN New York.
Municipal governments have seen the wis
dom of owning water reservoirs and sup
plying their citizens with this great ne
cessity of life. The supply should not he

Hardly less important are the production
and delivery OF plenty OF ice. at a mod
crate price, TO every household In SUCH
great centers OF population as New York
Chicago. PHILADELPHIA and Boston II Is ais
solutely necessary TO have enough icpsso
preserve articles OF food. not only IN the
stores OF the purveyors. especially the re-
tail distributors but also in the pantrics
OF the housewives. Some of the great hos
pitfalls have their own ice plants, but Il is
impracticable for ordinary householders to
have them. II a member Of family should
become sick. Ice IL often ms much called
for as drugs. A the price OF ice stands
at present, II seems TO have become A
luxury. ~
It is questionable II our cities should not
build their own Ice plants and sell the
product at a price which will pay only the
interest on the invested capital and the
cost OF manufacturing and delivering.
Other cities have proved the possibility Of
operating street cars, light plants, etc,
and the neighboring city OF Mount Vernon
is taking steps toward a municipal ice
plant New York is at present experiment
ing with the management OF ferry.
Even the best laws in reference to the
trusts are not able 90 cope with these COM
blnations The Meat trust can be curbed

ANorHER FALSE Alarm.

Another false alarm has been
sounded from the state capitol. 1t is
given out that the railroads will en-
deavor with might and main to prevent
the adoption of the constitutional
amendment providing for an elective
railroad commission. There is abso-
lutely no foundation for this ill-defined
Iumor. The railroads are not in the
least perturbed over the prospects of
a railroad commission. They could
have beaten the amendment when it
was pending before the last legislature,
and they might have blocked its en-
dorsement by the democratic II not by
the republican convention.
Exactly twenty years ago a constitu-
tional amendment creating an elective
railway commission was submitted to
the people of Nebraska and over
whelmingly defeated. because a large
majority of the voters entertained the
opinion that the railroad commission
would be controlled by the railroads
and become an impeachment to railroad
regulation and excessive exactions In
stead of standing for the people.
Within less than three months after
the amendment had been voted down
by the people, a railroad commission
| was created by the legislature, under
the whip and spur of the railroad
lobby. and the popular fears were fully
confirmed by lamentable and costly ex-
perience. The State Board Of Trans
| portation. as it was subsequently
called, was made up chiefly of railroad
tools like Gilchrist and Fake Reformer
| Joe Johnson. Instead OF protecting
the people against the rapacity of the
public carriers, the board became a
wind-break against legislative regula-
ton.
When the maximum rate law,
known as the Newberry BILL. was en-
acted, the boa d of transportation was
charged specially with the enforcement
of the law. Thereupon the railroads
induced the supreme court to snuff It
cut for fear its members might not
| stay UOuBHl VI Al6Hb NC bpuilCu W
ambition for higher ofices to exercise
their authority to the injury of the
J roads.
Inasmuch as the paralytic maxi
mum rate law expressly designates a
state board of transportation as the
motive power for its enforcement. the
new railroad commission will hardly
be available for enforcing the maxi
mum rate law until the provisions of
the rate law are amended so as to de-
volve upon the railroad commission
the powers and duties that would be
exercised by the State Board of Trans
portation. It goes without saying that
the railroads will not press the button
to have this change made, but will en-
deavor to make the commission dead
letter by preventing legislative re-
vision of the maximum rate law. to
| conform to existing conditions and
classifications, or comforting upon the
commission all the powers now exer-
cised by the Interstate Commerce COM
mission in relation to interstate rail-
way traffic.
The people of Nebraska must see
to 1t that the next legislature is not
controlled by the railroad lobby.
