SAYS CURE IS WORSE
EDITOR WATTERsoN TAKES IS.
SUE WITH Mr.. BRYAN.
Announces His Intention of OPP
posing in Every Way Any Pro-
nouncement By Democratic
Party In Favor Of Government
Ownership of Railroads.

Louisville, KY, Sept. l5.-Taklng
as his text w. j. Bryan's advocacy Of
government ownership Of railroads,
HIeny Watterson, under the caption
'Let Us Reason Together" in the
Coruier- Journal, locks horns with the
Nebraskan, and declares his unalter-
able purpose to fight the question with
all his might from now until the next
Democratic national convention.
Among other things, Mr.. Watterson
says:
"We had thought that we might
elect Mr.. Bryan in his bare feet. He
will not have this. He puts on the
jackboots of railway ownership, which
he declares fit him from toe to heel.
They do not fit us; in onr opinion they
will not f1t the Democratic party, and,
as Mr.. Bryan says it is a matter of
individual preference, there is nothing
left for it but to argue the point.
Wants No Friction
'.Nearly two years lie before US.
The question is too big for clubbing;
it is too important for evasion, and it
is too organic for Democrats to wan
der far from base. We shall discuss
it with perfect candor, with exhaust
i've research, and without the least &C
rimony. There shall be no friction
between Democrats in matter on
which results of the next presidential
election will perhaps depend.
eff Mr.. Bryan cannot save Us by
grace of his own fair standing with
the people we must put forth an effort
to save him from himself, for in this
matter he tells us the voters make
their own platform and that he will
abide by their verdict.
"The Courier journal takes issue
with Mr.. Bryan. With Mr.. Bryan it
appeals to the voters. From now on
ward to the assembling of the next
national Democratic convention we
shall oppose the adoption of a plank
favoring government ownership either
as an affirmative plan or as contin-
gency, because, admitting the truth of
all Mr.. Bryan says about the interior
ence of the railways in the politics of
the country, we believe the cure lies
in the law making power, and with
respect to ownership, either federal or
state, we regard the remedy as worse
than the disease.
Country Not Ready
"For Mr.. Bryan's views there is no
reason that there should be other die
ssent than that which relates to an
economic problem. pushed into the
foreground far ahead of time. The
country is not ready for it. The party
is not ready for it.
Although there may be, as Mr..
Bryan says there is, AN increasing
number in both parties favoring gov
eminent ownership, there is, in our
opinion, an overwhelming majority in
both parties against it. Nor do we
believe the people will ever saddle
themselves with national debt of
many billions to buy the railways,
even if they can ever be induced to be-
lieve there may be money profit in
running them.
''As Tom johnson wisely says:
Better confine ourselves to NUM-
cipal ownership until we see how it
works before undertaking scheme so
vast and reaching as federal own
ership.
