BRYAN REPLIES TO CRITICS.
Outlines Views on Regulation Of Rail.
road Traffic,

LINCOLN, Nsb. August s.-Replying to
the charges Of critics that he has backed
down on government ownership Of rail-
roads, Mr.. Bryans Commoner says:
I'm spite Of his very plain language,
certain papers have insisted upon misrep-
resenting his position and have persist
emily lodged the issue Of regulation. Now
that Mr.. Bryan has pointed out that there
Is no disposition on the part Of those who
believe in government ownership to make
It an issue in 1908, and that he does not
believe it wise to inject the question into
the campaign, these papers insist that 1t
is, and must be, an issue anyhow. But
they will not be permitted to longer avoid
the discussion of plans for effective regu-
lation.
do these editors believe in regulation.
or do they propose to leave the public
helpless?
Here are three vital propositions con-
nected with a present issue, namely, eff
fectiye regulation:
First, the ascertaining of the value of
the railroads.
Second, the preventing Of overcapitaliza-
ton.
Third, the reduction of rates to a point
where they will yield only a reasona BILE
return upon the real value Of the roads,"

But the contrary is true. and medical
science has to step in and aid the man
