4 cOSSERT4TITE AGAIN

MT. Bryan is carefully and strongly supporting his claim that he is real Conservative. He doesn't even want people unduly scared about their in- vestments in railroads. So he says: In case the various States or the nation decide to enter upon public ownership of roads there would be no disposition to confscate the property. am satis- fled that in the purchase of roads the public would be much more apt to pay more than the roads are worth than less. There is, therefore, no reason why a person having money to invest in railroads should not be willing to invest upon an honest basis at this time, for no future legislation would deny him a fair return. But there is another reason why investors need not fear. They are not only protected by the sense of justice in the people them- selves, but they are still further pro- tected by the courts, which will not permit legislation that is confiscatory. Several of the railroad presidents have recently complained of State legisla- tion, and charged that the legislation would not permit the railroads to earn a reasonable DrOft The investing public has been unnecessarily alarmed by these statements. The railroad presidents, instead of attempting to terrorize the legislatures, should have announced to investors that if the leg |isators attempted to cut down railroad earnings below a reasonable point the courts would restrain them. No rail- road regulation will be sustained by the courts that does injustice to the owners of the railroad, and if public ownership is entered upon the govern ment cannot take the roads without paying what the roads are worth
 Tais is true, and MT Bryan is shrewd as well as honest in saying it at this time It is decidedly interesting to see him continuing and developing as Conservative, and perhaps the Conserv- ative Time will tell what they will call him.

rUBLIC PLAYGRoUNDS.

The Playground Association of America, of which Theodore Roosevelt is Honorary President, is doing good work. It is making arrangements for two great demonstrations of the value of playgrounds and play to municipal ities. The first of these, a convention in Chicago, June 2O-22, to which Presi- dent Roosevelt has urged every mayor in the United States to send an official representative, will consist of practical demonstrations of organized play by 1000 school children of all ages, and a series of papers by such leaders of the play movement as Judge Ben D. Lind sey, of the Childrens Court, of Denver Jane Addams of Hull House, Dr. c. Stanley Hall, of Clark University and U. s. Commissioner Elmer Ellsworth Brown. In connection with the con- vention the South Park System of Chi cago will demonstrate fully the work ings of it's chain of twelve day and night open and indoor playgrounds for children and adults. It is expected that these gatherings will attract an adult attendance of nearly 5O,C0O peo- pie. The Chicago Committee already has begun to erect a monster grand stand to accommodate the visitors.
 The second enterprise of the Associ- ation is a great play exhibit at the Jamestown Exposition which will be installed and kept in daily operation If the necessary money can be obtained The Exposition authorities have offered free space, and also to provide halls for a series of meetings and lectures. The idea of the officers of the Associa- ton is to install a model city play ground and keep there a corps of expe- rienced physical training and play di- rectors to demonstrate the value of this work to the children. An exhibit of photographs and information from playgrounds all over the country will be shown in connection with the out door exhibit
 There can be no question of the value of public playgrounds in cities. They should be a good deal more numerous and better equipped than they are like ly to be soon. But many people are headed in the right direction in this very important matter.

Spring Tw,l,ghts.

Cometh the season of the lingering twi-
 lights, Of young stars qulvering through an
 azure dreamland, Cometh the season when I am perturh-
 cd with Longings and memories. Ghosts of myriad springtimes rise
 and beckon: Impulse and instinct urging me to Far to the nameless and the chartless,
 seeking New worlds to conquer Not new world of treasure-iand ma Thirsting am for voice and revela-
 ton Secrets of earth and mysteries of the
 woodlands, Tales of old ocean Something I lack yet know not what
 Is lacking Something the bird tells with It's twi-
 light twittering. Something the wind brings with ethe-
 real fragrance From the blue shadows. Souls of the dead, Is this the heirloom
 left mel Stirrings and restlessness, insatiate
 hunger, Impulse that goads me to the far hori-
 zon's Limitless secret?

THE CAPE COD CANAL.

These are good days for canal schemes. The Panama canal is really being dug, though not as fast as some would have it, but as fast as it can be under the circumstances. And now we read that the contract for the long talked-of Cape Cod canal has been let to a responsible bidder who agrees to take his pay in stock and bonds. So it may be pretty safely assumed that the Cape Cod canal is going through.
 MT. Bryan has been talking about "ul- innate ownership" of the railroads by the government. When that time comes the canals too must be owned by the government or there will be trouble of various kinds. And it may be that i. will also be thought that the govern ment should ultimately own the airshlp lines. Great times ahead.

A SHAME TO Trs

But our grayest fault in treating the Filipnos-it is a sin of omiesion-ls our failure to make good our promise to foster their agriculture by giving it's products access to American markets. We have not kept faith with them. American control has so far been an oppression to them, rather than the blessing they were told 1t would be. The Filipino conception of American character and honor is probably some what lower than it was during our military administration of the archi- pelago. The islanders are bitterly dis appointed in us, Their farms are un- cultivated, their means are depleted, their buildings and implements are in a state of decay and without such changes in our tariff laws as will give their products freer access to the mar kets of the United States, thel future is gloomy indeed.-Army and Navy Journal.

The Commercial Highway Idea.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 A friend, knowing me to be interest,"
 ed in the road proposition referred to
 in your editorial of tho 18th, sent me .
 clipping from your paper, the article
 being entitled Not Here" As you
 have taken up the subject In so fair spirit, l feel moved to ask for enough space in your valuable publication to correct misapprehension regarding
 the intent of the Chicago firm to which you refer, Before becoming interested in the proposition l studied 1t very
 carefully, and you may be sure that I
 am sufficiently aware of the temper of
 the American public to know that toll-road system would not be tolerat-
 ed for an instant In this matter I agree with you absolutely.
 In point of fact, tne Commercial Highway Company does not contem-
 plate recouping itself by tolls. The fiduciary plan is that the Increase of acreage real estate made accessible to commercial centers by well-kept and handsome roadway will also represent tangible value to a sufficiently great | extent to recoup the stockholders and bondholders of the constructing com pany. Careful investigation has con- vinced me that that was the experience in Maryland, where land, which was practically valueless, jumped up into 1 high-class residence realty along the boulevard from Washington to Hyatts- vile, and also from the boundary of | Baltimore throughout the Lake Roland l section, Just as soon as the transport
 ation facilities were furnished. I also looked over the real estate proposition lin several other sections of the coun- try and became convinced of the truth of the general proposition involved here.
 The plan, as you now see is to se- cure options on acreage property be- tween towns and to build a practical boulevard, thlrty-two feet of which
 shall be as free to the public as any highway in the United States between these towns, As the boulevard Is to be l 120 feet wide certain sections lying be-
 tween the two public roads, each six teen feet wide, will be laid out as priv | ilege sections for automobiles and com
 mercial power vehicles. By this plan, l you see, the problem of frightening l horses by motor cars and the speed
 laws of cities coming into contact with
 the operation of power machines Is at least minlmized. The farmer, the man
 driving his private rig, the delivery
 wagon and tine common people are thus 1 provided with a high-grade road with
 out tax burden upon them, the con-
 struction company being willing to take 1 its chance as an investment proposi-
 ton on the increase in the real estate
 it has secured along the line, while the
 wealthy owner of an automobile is will 1 ing to pay for the exclusive privileges
 he enjoys in the special sections pro-
 vided for him. These privileges are not
 simply in the opportunity to go fast, for
 the sections for power wagon contain elecuic-charging stations, gasoline res-

ervoirs and a number of incidental ar- engagements appreciated by the man who not infrequently has tc telephone the garage for somebody to come and tow his machine home.
 The plan, as I understand it, is a re- markedly fair one. The taxpayer is not assessed. The user of the road gets it for nothing. The vendor of the real estate has an opportunity to sell to the property which perhaps has been lying fallow on his hands for years. By the introduction of an abso- lutely new idea real value has been created. Everybody concerned is ben efited, and no one is injured.
 Hoping you will find space for this in your valuable paper, I have the honor to remain very truly yours,
