Favors Public Ownership

Experience has demonstrated that
municipal corruption is largely trace
able to the fact that franchise corpo-
rations desire to control the city coun.
Gil and thus increase their dividends.
If the railroad managers adopt the
same policy the sentiment in favor OF
the ownership of the railroads by the
government is likely to increase as rap.
idly throughout the country as the
sentiment in favor of municipal own.
ership has increased in the cities.
II have already reached the conclu.
sion that railroads partake so much of
the nature of monopoly that they
must ultimately become public prop
erty and be managed by public off.
Gals in the interest of the whole com.
munity in connection with the we'll.
defined theory that public ownership
is necessary where competition is i'm.
possible.
81 do not know if the country il
ready for this change. do not know
that majority of my own party ia.
vors it, but believe that an increas.
ing number of people see in public
ownership the sure remedy for dis
examinations and for the extortionate
rates for the carrying of freight and
passengers.
Believing, however, that the oper
alton of all the railroads by the federal
government would result in central
ization which would all but obliterate
state lines, l prefer to see only the
trunk lines operated by the federal
government and the local lines operat
ed by the state governments.
"Some have opposed this dual own
ership as impracticable, but investiga
ton has convinced me that it is en-
tirely practicable.
States Government Rights
"As to the right of the governments
federal and state, to own and operate
railways, there can be no doubt. II
we can deepen the water in the lakes
aud build connecting canals in order
to cheaper railroad transportation
during half the year, we can build G
railroad and cheaper rates the whole
year; If we can spend several hundred
millions on the Panama canal to lowe,
transcontinental rates, we can build {
railroad from New York to San Fran
cisco to lower both transcontinenta
and local rates.
Mr.. Bryan closed his argument OF
the railroad question with the state
ment that the action of the road
themselves had brought about all tn,
agitation in favor of public owner
ship, and been an argument a thou
sand times more powerful than all the
speeches and arguments of the oppo
nents of private ownership.

MEXICAN PEARLS
Fishers Doing Excellent Business
Along Lower California,

Along Lower California,
Consul Kaiser forwards from Mazat-
Ian an article from Mexican newspa-
per which Gays jewellers are learn
Ing the value OF Mexican pearls, and
this season Is proving remunerative
The article continues;
Adrian CorneJo, prominent pearl
fisher OF Lower California, says that
the pearl fishers along all the coast
Of the gulf are doing an excellent
business this year. In this part of
Mexico there is more variety In the
color Of the pearls found than In any
black. gray, red. bluish-green and yell
lowish. Mexican pearls are fast gain
ing a good reputation In the world
markets. In Paris, which Is the CEN
ter Of the pearl trade, there are no
pearls more In favor than those from
Mexico.
There is now about as much pros
pecting for pearls In the Gulf of Cali
fornla as there Is hunting for mines
throughout the interior OF Mexico, and
the entire gulf coast Is closely inspected
by pearl fishers or prospectors. Tho
best pearls are to be found In the
bottom of the pearl beds. Therefore
old beds that were some time ago
supposed to have been worked out
have lately been raked over some
times with gratifying results. One OF
the finest gray pearls ever found was
encountered In one Of these deserted
beds Among the most valuable pearls
to be found In the Gulf OF California
are those of a reddish color Those
arc discovered only occasionally. They
have an exquisite luster. and many
of them are large and Of the most
perfect shape.
