also accepted such advertisements as has

urge the Legislature to create

ship. The paternalism of Ger
many adopts governmental owner
ship while the republican spirit
of France accomplishes as much
and more by the policy of govern
mental regulation, which it has
proved entirely feasible. This
country in its desire of freedom
from nonopolistic tyranny is not
likely to subject the free in
dustrial spirit of this people to
the blighting influence of govern
mental ownership. The policy
of government regulation is pro-
crossing as rapidly as any public
policy of similar magnitude has
ever progressed. TO abandon
that policy for one incomparably
more radical, which promises no
advantage beyond President
Roosevelt's policy, and entails
greater evils which are evident
and still greater evils to be ex-
pected, were a folly which this
nation will not incur. If govern
nent ownership should ever
come, it must be along the pro-
cess of evolution which the
people are now following, and
not by a resolution that would
throw the business of the land
into chaos. Mr.. Bryan stands
in the unfortunate position of
having nothing to advocate
against the present leadership of
this country except a policy dis
approved by the good sense of
the nation.
