Marine Railway Near Alexandria.

A dredging machine is at work at Deans
boat yard, just north of Alexandria, digging
out the fats in front of the yard, and 1t is
said to be the purpose Of the owners of the
plant to start the work of building q marine
railway there within the next two or three
weeks. The railway was projected about
two years ago. when the cleaning out of the
berth for 1t and other preliminary work
was started, but the building of IL
has been delayed until this time. The rail-
way will be large enough to haul out most
Of the vessels that regularly ply on the
river, except the big steamboats,, and 1t
will be modern in its equipment. The berth
In front of the yard will be dredged to a
good depth, so that there will be but little
trouble on account of shoal water In han
ding boats at the yard in the future The
new railway Is badly needed. as In the busy
season vessels have often to go to points on
Chesapeake bay to haul out. all the railways
here being busy.

POSTMASTER AT WESTMINSTER.
Bitter Fight Likely to Be Settled in
Naming Col. Herr.

WESTMINSTER, Md. March 2-It is be-
lieved here that tho long and bitter contest
over the postmastershp OF Carroll county
is about to be ended by the appointment OF
Col. Samuel K. Herr. Col. Herr came to
this city from Pennsylvania soon after the
close of the civil war. and for about thirty
years he and his brother, Mayor Frank X.
Herr, conducted O carriage making bust
ness. Several years ago he retired from the
business and has since devoted his atten-
ton to O farm near this city, more as a
pastime than for pecuniary profit. as he Is
a man of Independent means. The pros
pect Of his appointment is generally hailed
with satisfaction by residents. He is a
veteran Of the civil war. in which he served
for three years as private and for year
staff Of Gen. Crawford, commander of the
battles and was once wounded and cap
tured and spent eight days in Libby prison.
While serving as a private In the LIST Regi-
ment, Pennsylvania Reserves, he was de-
tailed for special duty at the headquarters
Of Gen. Reynolds and was offered a COM
mission. but declined 1t. because he did not
wish to be separated from his company.
When the regiment, after three years of
active service, was mustered out he re-
manned with the army and participated in
several battles without having connection
with any command. He was then given a
commission and placed on Gen. Crawfords
staff, where he remained till the close OF
the war, retiring at last with the rank OF
brevet lieutenant colonel at the age OF
twenty-one years.

BRYAN ON HARTMAN.
Declares That Latter's Statements
Have fastened Public Ownership.

OMAHA, Neb., March 2-That E. H.
Hartman is proving the greatest apostle
that good government has ever had is the
latest declaration of William Jennings
Bryan on the present railroad situations
The following statement of his views on
the railroad situation since the recent de-
velopmentS and exposures by Mr.. Harri-
man before the interstate commerce COM
mission was today made by Mr.. Bryan:
I'm my Madison Square Garden speech
l stated that unless our experience with
the railroads was different from our ex-
perience with the franchise holding cor
poraton In the cities. the railroad man
ayers would themselves educate the people
to the necessity for public ownership.
II stated then that 1 did not know
whether the people were ready for 1t or
whether my own party favored 1t, and do
not know how large a percentage Of the
IN government ownership, but ] am sure
Mr. Hartman and men who, like him,
have been using the railroads MS their per-
sonal property and manipulating the roa DIS
for the amassing of great fortunes with
out regard to public service, are doing
more to create sentiment In favor Of
public ownership than all the speeches ever
1.-The despoiling of the public has been
going on for years, but Investigations are
necessary in order to bring out the facts.
These facts cannot fail to be Of the great
ership. They show that mismanagemcnt.
from the peoples standpoint, could not be
worse.
This management does not alone extend
to financial details; 1t includes bad oper-
alton. resulting in wrecks that frequently
cause appalling loss OF life. Many of these
wrecks can directly be ascribed to the
greed of railroad managers. who swell
their profits by neglecting to install! proper
safety devices.
"In another particular, too, the cause Of
government ownership Is being benefited
by the acts of the railroad managers and
owners. That is in the arbitrary Increases
of freight rates to make up for increased
wage expenditures. 1t Is making the pub
lie pay expenses that should be rightly
borne by the railroads.
During the present era of unprecedented
railroad prosperity. when dividends are
large and business great the people have
right to complain when the railroad
owners refuse to share their vast profits
| in even the slightest degree with their
employees. but instead make the public con-
| tribute the entire extra expense"

FOOLING THE PEOPLE

Have you noticed the effect Of an
election on session of congress ??
asked a return member OF the lower
house Last year, with an election in
sight, this was one of the busiest little
bodies I ever saw. 1t was knitting away
day and night for the good of the

the election over, things have quieted
down Come here a year from next fall,
young man, and they will be at it early

The Boise citizen. (Boise, Idaho) 1906-1910, 1907-03-08

OF the chief causes, il not the chief cause
at present Of the feeling at the North
in favor Of the negro is the violence so
often directed against negroes at the
South. There is quite as much violence
against them in some other parts of the
country, in proportion to the colored
population, as at the South, but for rea-
SONS not necessary TO discuss here, this
is not taken into account The brunt
of the censure falls on the South, and
the South on every account, but espe-
cially for its own sake, ought to put a
stop to It with relentless hand, or else
make It clear to the rest Of the world
why it is not done.
An intelligent and able German pro-
fessor, who is at present in this country
studying its political and social condi-
tions, stated to the writer not long since
that to the Germans the race question
appears absolutely to overshadow every
other political question in this country.
This is precisely what the 'the negro
question" is: race question, the most
momentous that has existed in this
country since the war which settled the
permanency Of the Union 1t simply be-
fogs the subject to speak of it as "a new
phase" of the negro question. It has al
ways been race question, growing
steadily more and more momentous,
and the phase that presents itself to-
day is only the natural and necessary
evolution from the phase that presented
itself yesterday, as the phase OF tomor-
row will be evolved from the phase Of
today; and every serious-minded man
will come in time to understand that it
is a race question to the proper solution
Of which should be brought all the wis
dom, patience, and good sense that this
nation is capable of.
One curious fact connected with the
matter is that, contrary to the usual .
rules Of evidence, q mans views on this 4
subject are considered rather in inverse 1
ratio to his opportunities for acquaint-
lnce with it. Hitherto we have had the
singular spectacle Of Southern men, who
testified from their intimate acquaint-
ance with it at first hand, being discred-
ted almost universally, while the views
IF those from the outside, who may have
lad only the most imperfect opportuni-
les for observation and have not had
he least opportunity OF seeing it in its
most vital forms, are Immediately ac-
.epted
One fortunate manifestation at pres
It is almost the only new phase
# the matter-is that there appears to
,e a greater desire on the part of the
Iorth to be accurately informed upon
he subject This is undoubtedly very
one OF the chief dif-
culties, if not the chief difficulty, that
las heretofore existed in the way OF set
ling this question, has been the differ
mt manner in which the two sections
ave regarded It.

Caldwell Tribune: President Roose-
welt has issued an executive order,
which is so broad in its scope, so harm
ful in its action, and so ill-advised in its
conception, that it has been challenged
in the United States senate. The land
law prescribes when and under what
conditions a patent shall issue for pub
lie lands President Roosevelt has seen
fit to set aside the laws OF congress by
executive order, directing the patent
to be issued to public land, secretary OF
the interior to allow no patent under any
law until by an examination on the
ground that actual compliance with that
law has been found to exist" The
president assumes that all those persons
who are trying to build up homes in the
desert are actuated by desire to com
NIT fraud against the government, and
will so hold them until one of his con-
hdential agents has given the poor home
steader a certificate OF good intention.
