Commoner Defines the Issues of
the Coming Great National
Campaign.
Wants States to "Stand Pat
Against Sole Regulation BY
Government,

Lincoln, Neb, July 25.-Wflliam J.
Bryan does not favor government
ownership as permanent issue In the
next national campaign. He believes
in rigid regulation and urges the
states to stand pat for their rights in
the curb1ng of corporations, rather
than to leave regulation solely in the
hands of the federal government. The
next Issue Of the Commoner will say:
AS the campaign approaches, it be-
comes more and more evident that the
three questions, the trust question, the
tariff question and the railroad uues-
ton, will share public attention. and
the questions really present the same
issue between the general public and
the privileged classes. Shall the gov
eminent be administered in the interest
of the few. This Is the issue presented
by the trust question, the tariff ques-
t1on and the railroad question.
Government ownership is not an
Immediate issue. A majority of the
people still favor effective regulation,
and while they SO hope, they will not
consider government ownership. While
many Democrats believe that govern
ment ownership offers the ultimate
solution Of the problem, there are
those who believe the public will final
ly, In self defense, be driven to recoe-
nize that regulation must be tried
under the most favorable circum-
stance before the masses will REQUIRE
a more radical remedy.
Regulation cannot be sufficiently
tried within the next year, and there
Is no desire anywhere to make govern.

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.

This is no time for inflammatory
utterances either verbal or written.
lnjudicious action Is not commendable
at any time, but under the present agi-
tated condition of the world of mine
workers, he certainly is not the friend
Of either party, who would add fur
Their fuel to strife already too near
the danger line.
This applies with great force to the
public journals, whose duty it should
be to educate the public conscience in
orderly law abiding habits of thought
and action; and we regret exceedingly
that the editorial utterances of one of
our contemporaries for the last three
or four days, have not been directed
to the maintenance of peace but rath-
er to the provoking of war.
We yield precedence to no man in
our love for and attachment to the
institutions of the country under
whose canopy we first saw the light
of day, and we can conceive of no
higher duty that we can perform to its
civilization than to use our best en-
deavors to prevent any clashing be.
tween capital and labor.
Ever since this unfortunate strike
began, we have striven day and night
to effect a reconciliation of existing
differences. AS in all troubles of this
character neither side is wholly right
nor is either side wholly wrong, 1t
should therefore be the aim of all fair
minded men to use every legitimate
endeavor to effect a cessation of hos
tilities, establish a right understand
ing between the parties and restore
peace.
The right is always located between
the two extremes, and no man or set
of men should feel themselves par.
t1cle Inundated by making such con-
cessions as right and justice demand.
It is extremely gratifying to us to
note disposition on part of both par
ties to the ore dock controversy, to
come together and adjust their differ
ences by civilized American methods.
and thus vindicate the high standard
for fairness which always character
lied the dealings of the company with
it's employees, and also be tribute to
the faithfulness, intelligence, and law
abiding disposition of their employers.
Unless all Indications fail, ere our
next issue goes to press, the ore dock
strike will be ancient history and num-
bered with the unpleasantnesses that

A NEW ENTERPRISE.

A few months ago the Commercial
Club Of Montpelier advertised the fact
that lime manufacturer would be
greatly appreciated here.
w. f. Owen, Jr., of Idaho Falls, who
for eight years had been associated with
his father in the lime, lumber and wool
business, read the article and came
down to look at the prospect. He re-
cognized the chance as being good and
on the 18th day of May of this year,
commenced kiln on the side of the
hill at the head of Main street. Not
deeming it best to invest toe heavily
he made kiln of 100 bushels capacity
but this he finds far inadequate to sup
ply the demand for lime and he is build
ing larger kiln which will be ready
for the spring trade, to run with the
present kiln. He says The supply of
rock is exhanstiess and increases in
value as he digs deeper into the bill.
Masons who have worked in Montana,
Idaho, Utah and elsewhere say 1t is the
best lime they have ever used. Mr..
Owen supplies, not only Montpelier but
all OF Bear Lake valley, besides shipping
in car load lots to many other towns,
principally Blackfoot and Idaho Falls.
He hopes to induce the railroad COM
pany to run spur TO the kiln which
would be great convenience TO him,
as we'll as to the Montpelier Milling Go
and other enterprises IN this end If

Phosphate and Bonanza mines would
be made, it would accommodate these
businesses also.
Mr. Owen expressed himself as more
than satisfied with the sucress he has
met with in these few short months and
as highly pleased with Montl elier as q
place of residence.
