CLEVELAND, o., Sept Sin the
opinion Of Mayor Tom l: johnson, w.
]. Bryan's stand on government own.
ership Of railroads makes certain that
President Roosevelt win be the Re
publican nominee in 1908 for the pres
idency.
"Bryan's declaration Of principles
means two things said the mayor. on
his return from New York, Athe|
nomination OF Roosevelt and the driv-
ing of thousands of Democrats out Of
the party. To all such Democrats !
say God speed!' For every one that
leaves ten men of other parties stand
ready to take his place.
Roosevelt will be nominated Bry-
an will be nominated. Bryan will de-
feat Roosevelt. That is my firm be-
lief. Every Republican who is pro-
tectionist in principle believes in gov
eminent ownership. The farmers will
be soldily in favor of 1t, and SO will
every small shipper. They know the
evils Of private ownership and freight
rate discrimination.
Government Ownership Strong.
Government ownership of rail
roads is as strong with the people Of
the United States to-day as is munich
pal ownership with the people of
Cleevland and Chicago. II is the .Iues-
ton before the American people -

with it Bryan will sweep the ccun-
try, believe. But whether he docs
or not he is right. Government own
ership Of railroads is right. Il is the
truth, and right anu truth will ultt-
mately prevail. Steam railways claim
they are forced to buy legislatures.
Street railways claim they are forced
to buy councils. What is there left
for the people to do? They cannot reg
nlate the conditions which make pos
sfble-'necessary, as monopoly claims
the debauchfng of public officials
Therefore they must destroy these
conditions, and they will"

LepTosy is increasing in both North
and South America. Columbia, where
there were only 800 lepers 40 years
ago, is said to have 10000 now, and
many find their way into the United
States. Such a medical authority as
DR.. Ashmead. who was formerly chief
medical adviser to the government Of
Japan, says the increase is alarming.
When leprosy is brought into new
country 1t takes so years for the seeds
to take root and it becomes epidemic
after some 200 years. 1t has been
shown that mosquitoes are active in
transferring Ieprosy bacilli

gain her former position in the af-
fairs of the nation until her people
cease { look upon positions in con
gress merely as rewards for political
work. 1t is time she was realizing this
fact. She has already lost too much by
adhering to this principle. We hope to
see the day come when she will aOan-
don this idea and return TO the old
system which gave her the control of
national affairs.
To go back to the matter with which
we started out in this article-the prob
able retirement of Congressman eros
venor after yer twenty years Of ser
vice in congress, the Baltimore Sun Of
one day last week says:
Who would have thought hat so ro-
bust and assertive a stateman as Hon.
Charles II. G~rosvenor, of Ohio, would
be in danger Of retiring to the shades
been in congress for 20 years-a hust-
ling champion Of protection. an inter
rifed advocate Of ship subsidies-in
short, a fine old stalwart Of the un-
compromising republican type. And
now they say that his days Of active
craftsmanship are numbered. His con-
stituents are not grateful. Mr.. eros
venor's rival has captured their fancy.
They ave turned a deaf ear to the
appeals Of the Sage of Athens" and
intend to nominate another man. The
nominating convention will meet mex
week. and the political highbinders'
in Mr.. Grosvernor's district will drive
him out of public life. "Bossism and
graft" have furnished in his district,
the angry statesman is quoted as say
ing, such an exhibition as has beer
witnessed nowhere else in the country.
1t is almost incredible that such It'd
ings should be true-that this faith
full adherent of party and prophet of
success in presidential campaigns
should be turned down by his constitu-
ents, even with "bossism, graft and
highbinders' arrayed against him.
What will congress amount to without
a Grosvenor in it? One blast upon his
bugle horn is good for 20 pages in the
Congressional Record.
