IN THE LIGHT OF HISTORY.

The doctrine of government owner
ship just now in the public mind on
account of the utterances of Mr.. BRYAN
was an active issue as far back as the
Whig leadership Of Henry Clay. At
that time all over the country, there
was great movement IN behalf Of
internal improvements" and it spread
from state to state and was an issue
In more than one exciting campaign.
The government undertook to inau-
gurate the system of constructing
great highway from the Atlantic ocean
to the Mississippi river The oppon-
ents to the scheme based their opposi-
ton upon two arguments First. the
government had no constitutional right
to enter into the building of high
way; second road building was mat
ter wholly within the Jurisdiction of
the states. II was some time before
the states of Maryland and Virginia
would consent to the building of the
road through their borders.
In the so-called middle west the
government ownership theory spread
rapidly at that time, and several of
the middle western states. especially
Indiana, entered upon an elaborate
system of railroad. turnpike and canal
building. III every instance the ex-
pertinent proved expensive and dis
asterous. 1t drove some of the states
into bankruptcy, and forced them to
take refuge in reputation. Indiana
did not recover from the effects of its
In the wild days of internal i'm
movements" the democratic party
stood against the scheme. Now it
proposes, IL the words of it's chosen
leader can be taken as evidence, to
father the plan and have the govern
ment undertake a similar work on a
scale much greater than was possible
in the days preceding the war. 1t is
small wonder that erstwhile leaders of
the democracy hesitate to accept such
q wildcat scheme.

In Japan a man and wife can live
