aRYAN vIEws ON RAILaoADs.


William JENNINGS Bryan has made
definite announcement Of his posi-
ton on the railroad question. He
says that he is ultimately in favor Of
government ownership because he be
lieves that mere government control
win prove inadequate to cope with the
railroad situation. He says, however,
that he knows that many, perhaps
even majority of the people are not
ready for government ownership, that
they are afraid of il as too radical.
and he favors a trial Of government
control in order TO prove what it will
and what it will not accomplish. So
for the present. he stands exactly on
the same footing as the present ad-
ministration. But he goes farther in
declaring that the valuation of rail-
road properties should be made on the
basis of the actual money invested
in them. This would be drastic
squeezing out of all water. Rates, he
says, shouts be fixed TO give a fair
return to this capitalization. Such a
scheme would be welcomed by ship
pers all over the country. 1t would
send the produce of the farmer to
market cheaper and bring the farmer
the products of the factories cheaper
than ever before in the history of the
country. But there would be an awful
fight against the program by the rail.
road interests, such a fight in fact
that it is doubtful if it could be put
into effect in the next decade.

The heavyweight immigration com.
mission authorized by the last Con.
gress has just got to work Why
Congress should want more light on
the subject of immigration just now
is little hard to see. This Govern.
ment has been paying special agents,
special commissioners and special
junketing committees to investigate
the immigration problem for the past
ten years. The latest special COM
missioner" sent abroad was T. V.
Powderly, a very estimable gentle
man who spent year in Europe at
the Government expense and wrote
the longest If not the most enlighten-
ing report on immigration that has
ever been submitted to a long suf-
fering government, But now this
thirst for knowledge is to be further
assuaged by commission of three
Senators, three Representatives and
three appointees of the President, all
of whom have gathered in Washing.
ton preparatory to taking summer
tours at Government expense to the
coolest and remotest quarters of the
earth. This is rich country and we
can well afford the luxury of special
commissions II we want to pay them.
But the immigration excuse is worn
almost thre&dbare. The fact of the
matter is that Congress does not
need and does not want any further
enlightenment on the immigration
business. II does not want to pass
any immigration legislation Of any
sort If It can help it. Frankness and
economy both would suggest simply
standing pat and doing nothing, but
what Congress wants is an excuse for
delay, and it will get II while waiting
for the report of this latest and most
commission.

Senator Charles Dick. old.time
friend and colleague Of Senator For.
aker. has gone TO Ohio TO personally
conduct the fight OF the Foraker
against the Taft forces. It is a move
that might have been expected, in
fact, was expected as a development
Of the campaign. The interest lies,
however, in the fact that Senator
Dick has made the fat announcement
that the Ohio Republican machine is
against Roosevelt, Rooseveltism and
any Roosevelt candidate, Thus the
issue is sQuarely made, and it win be
a finish fight. for neither the President
nor Senator Foraker are in the habit
of giving quarter. Outsiders may
look on with interest and gain con-
siderable Instruction therefrom. 1t is
the first serious and open split in the
Republican ranks, and, the question
that viii be settled for the rest of
the campaign viii be whether or not

larity in his own party will avail

The PRICE OF MEATS.

Reduced consumption of meats in
these times of depression led first to
lower prices for live stock, and now
news comes that the wholesale prices
of all meats have bee reduced. The
reductions in Kansas City have ranged
from l to 5 cents a pound, and q reduc-
ton of 10 per cent on all meats and
poultry has been made in Chicago.
The retail dealers have not yet re-
sponded. but they assuredly will, for
the object of the reductions 10 to in
crease consumption. The consumer
will soon be benefited by . decline
that was begun by Cudahy In Omaha
and that has now extended to the en-
tire trade.
The decline in the prices Of meats is
other articles that will be, reported
speedily throughout the country. All
prices are at the apex, and all need the
blue pencil, and all will speedily get
what they need. A wave of reduction
Is sweeping over the country, and only
those articles will escape it that are
wanted by other countries-cotton, fol
example,. The home demand has lost
it's supporting power, but the foreign
price-making.

After-damp, which followed an ex-

are believed to have persisted by this
hour.
Officials of the company refuse to
make any statement.
The many kinsmen, wives, children

entrance to the mine are so shocked
that, they do not realize the full conse-

Something like a flash Of summer light
