Theodore Roosevelt has been able to do

! courage as high as Nebraska's great radl-

| government ownership, Senator Beveridge
said:
| Government ownership is wrong be-
| applied to all industry, which, like the
| railways, affect all the people; govern

| Government ownership is wrong becau -
| Il violates the American principle of in
| dividual management OF business; govern
ment supervision is right because II rec

! cause it is fatal TO individual initiative;

The Railways in Politics.
Government ownership is urged because
| it will take the railways out OF politics.
] But so does government supervision take
/ them out of politics. The day OF railroad
and corporate power In American poll
| tics Is drawing to its close, The con-
| science of the millions is ending railroad

/ Tor any office from president down by
| railway or corporate influence ought TO be
| overwhelmingly defeated-will be over
| whelmingly defeated.
Laws are being placed on the statute
books making railway and corporate in
