Wall street which, to put it mildly,
has never been numbered among the
advocates of government ownership
Of railways, to say nothing of the
holders of hundreds Of millions of dol
lars of railroad securities in this city,
is soon to receive one of the surprises
of its life. For IL il can take its eyes
from the ticker long enough il will
learn that actual ownership and op.
Grafton of railways, which is advanced
in certain quarters as a new policy, is
not entirely unknown in this country
and indeed as is pointed out by Wal.
ter Is. Stevens Of 81. Louis, was prac-
ticed in one instance Mt least in this
country before Wall street cut its eye
teeth. In an article which he is con.
tributing to the January number of
Appleton's Magazine, Mr.. Stevens
tells how Missouri owned practically
all the railway mileage within the
state and operated one important line
for period Of two years after the
Civil war. This situation came about
not because the people were in favor
of public ownership, but because the
state was forced to take over lines to
which nearly $3O,0OO,OOO of public
funds had been advanced and which
private capital had been unable Ia
complete on account of the war. Ar
soon as it could DO done the roads were
sold back to private companies AMI
they now form parts Of the Missouri
Pacific, Iron Mountain, Wabash,
Frisco and Burlington systems.

The hullabaloo which was raised
over the recent discovery of "a hitner.

Of $4,000 gallons daily. Water is a
