If McGraw is trying to show New York
fans the difference between aggressive base
ball and the namby-pamby kind he certain
ly has succeeded. writes Sid Mercer. he
never leaves the bench during game. He
doesn't get in trouble with the umpires be-
cause he doesn't associate with them. And
without him the misdirected kicks of the
other players accomplish but little. Better
to have a fighting manager, who oversteps
the line once In a while, than retiring
person. 1t takes pepper to season a winner
and the Giants appear to be sadly lacking
in that respect. Bresnahan contributes much
life when he is in the game. Anyhow. let's
be charitable and lay 1t to the heat. Every
body pull for change.

The sixth speaker, William G. Hus-
band of North Dakota, negative, said
in part:
Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentle
men: Before venturing any further
on the waves Of this discussion let us
briefly summarize the main issues Of
the debate. We have stood tonight
for the preservation Of the private
ownership Of our railway lines under
adequate control, a distinct American
Institution. one under which we have
prospered and developed SO rapidly
that our commercial and Industrial SUI
premacy astonishes the world. What
do the gentlemen Of the Affirmative
stand for? They stand for the aboli-
ton Of that institution which has OF
late years become positive necessity,
and the substitution OF another alto
gether untried under American condi-
lions, and altogether foreign to our
principles of government and business
methods. What argument is made to
support their contention? They say
We have evils IN our railroad system.
But the first speaker for the negative
showed that these evils were Of a
transitory nature and that they were
as nothing compared with the evils
that would arise under government
ownership. And before ! am through
II will endeavor to show how these
evils are being eliminated BY remedial
Legislation But granting for the sake
OF argument that these evils are
grave; granting for the sake Of argu-

The fifth speaker, Arthur 7. Morgan
of Montana, affirmative, said in part:
We Of the affirmative have shown
that there is need for reform in the
present system and that present laws
are unable to remedy the situation,
that they must necessarily be in the
future because Of the very nature of
the case. We have shown that there
are evils in the present system and
then we have shown that government
ownership will reach and cure these
evils. Then we went farther and
showed that great benefits would &C
crue to the United States through a
system Of government ownership
benefits economically, politically and
socially. It would seem necessary now
that we show some plan whereby the
United States may actually come into
possession Of the roads and operate
them. q ss
This plan which I am about to sub
NIT to you is not product Of my
Imagination, but 1t is a plan that has
been carefully worked out in the sen
ate Of the United States, and Is now
up for consideration by that body. One
week ago today ! saw in the paper
that a bill had been introduced IN the
United States senate, providing Tor
the acquisition Of the railroads by the
United States. Immediately wired to
1.-The senator who had introduced the
|bill for the bill, and It came to me BIZ

plan that submit to you.

ment ownership and operation
Harry n. Cooper.
The fourth speaker was Harry FL.
Cooper Of North Dakota, negative. He
5 said in part:
The first speaker has made plain our
policy Of private ownership with ade-
quate control. He has shown the evils
that must come with government own
ership and operation Of our immense
railroad system. Evils compared with
/ which the trans ones Of private own
ership sink into insignificance. 1t is
my purpose to show the utter imprac-
tieability Of this policy from a bust
ness stand oint. The system which
we need and must have here in the
United States is the system which can
best fill the needs Of a rapidly develop
ing country We must have the sys-
tenn that Is more progressive, the sys-
tenn that is run on business principles
and will give the best service, guam
tity and quality considered. Govern
ment ownership IS impracticable here
g. in the United States because it can
not meet these requirements. First, it
cannot fill the needs Of a rapidly de
yeloping country
The opposition have this evening
urged the present inadequacy OF rail-
road service In the northwest as a
reason for government ownership, but
closer analysis shows this to be one
of the strongest arguments against
\ such q policy. The apparent made
quacy in the northwest is de to two
things. the almost Uninterrupted biz
yards of the past month and second,
to the wonderful development and nm
paralleled prosperity Of the country.
d OF the difficulties railway men have
& had to meet this winter little need be
said We all know that the fight
against snow and weather has been an
uphill one. It has exhausted the skill
and energy Of skilled railroad men,
men whose interest Is personal; labor
ers who are under the eye OF capable
managers. The affirmative propose to
put in their places men who get their
positions not through efficiency but by
I political pull. They propose to inaugu.
] rate system where there is no re-
sponsibility. A system where the only
pocke tbook touched is that Of the gov.
eminent.
But the important reason for the In
adequacy is the wonderful deyelo
Of the country with corresponding
enormous Increase of freight and pas
senger traffic. More new population
has entered the Ave states from Min.
nesota to the Pacific than any other
part Of the country. The wheat yield
of these states has increased III the
last ave years 100 100000 bushels III
100 per cent Though not manufac.
turing district these products have In.
creased 25 per cent. In short, the add.
ed demand on the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific in 1--WE years
equals the demand on the other roads
Of the county In ten. This is the prob
lem which we maintain government
ownership can never cope with.

delegates decided in favor Of govern
ment ownership. New Zealand and
Australia are enjoying the same sue
cess as these other countries. For
our authority we have Prof. Frank
Parsons and Mr. Lusk, who was CON

country that compares favorably with
the United States: a new country, a

Is the fact that one week ago yester-

My second proposition is that the
government cannot run business on
business principles. In the first place
we must have capable managers. It is
true that In the highest government
positions the highest positions, mind
you, honor Is a sufficient inducement
ito draw good men. To get such men
the government must offer the same
or better inducements than private
capital. This. 1t cannot do. The
chances of promotion are less and it lis
la fact that skilled government en-
Hployes are VIGOROUSLY underpaid,
while unskilled labor is overpaid.
No man is competent to run rail-
roads unless he can make money for
himself. And If he can make money
