when there was no necessity on earth for
it. Altogether, we consider this chapter
of National finance to have been one Of
the most infamous wrongs ever perpe-
trated upon people by those who were
in charge of its government.
When Our readers remember that Wall
Street made it's wishes known to Demo
cratic President in 1893 and got from him
what it wanted, by making use of J. P.
Morgan, the Republican; and when they
further remember that Wall Street made
its wishes known, and got what it wanted,
in 1907, by making use of the same J. P.
Morgan, they will be very blind indeed
if they do not see that Wall Street can
control both the old parties whenever it
gets ready to do so.
Roosevelt, the Republican, was not
more subsequent the money kings than
Cleveland, the Democrat, had been.

Wr. Taft On G0bernment OlDney-
ship of Railroads.

The following we take from Van Nor
denis Magazine:
"You are opposed to government own
ership?"
II am and for the following reasons,
as I have given them at another time
and place: First, because existing gov
eminent railways are not managed either
with the efficiency or economy of pri-
vately managed roads, and the rates
charged are not as low, and therefore
not as beneficial to the public. Second,
because it would involve an expenditure
of twelve billion dollars to acquire inter
state railways and the creation of an
enormous national debt Third, because
it would place in the hands of reckless
Executive power of control over bust
ness and politics that the imagination
can hardly conceive and would expose
our popular institutions to danger"
Mr.. Taft's first reason for opposing
Government ownership of railways, is
based upon a mistake as to the facts.
The Italian railroads. it is true, are badly
MANAGED but what is it in Italy that is
not badly managed? There is such
mixture of Clericalisn, Arstocracy, So
cialism, Democracy and Brigandage in
Italy that we are sometimes astonished
that stable government can maintain it
self at all The King of Italy was
wheedled into the Triple Alliance by Bis
marck and the poor little, over-taxed,
priestridden country has been stagger-
ing under an enormous load of miltar-
ism ever since Mr. Taft would hardly
say that the German railways are not eff
GENTLY and economically managed. He
certainly must know that they are models
of good management and that any ordi-
nary man-beloneing neither to the class
of noblemen, Americans or fools, who
ride frst-class and pay 2 6 cents per
mile for the privilege-can ride at III
ner mile and enjoy every comfort which
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-07-02

is, we allow the private owners to load
us down with bond issues that reach out
into the future for 90 so and even 100
years, thus deliberately allowing our
prosperity to be chained just as we have
been shackled The Pacific railroads, for
instance, were built with public funds.
Not one dollar of private money went in
to their construction On the contrary,
Stanford, Croker, Huntington and Hop
kins not only paid in full for the con-
struction Of the roads with the donations
which they got from the public, and from
the i. S. Government, but each OF the
promoters came out with colossal private
fortunes, in addition to the ownership of
the roads, When Jay Gould's manage
nent put the roads into the hands of
receiver, the Government could have
scooped it up with the debt which we
held against the property. Instead Of
doing this. it acted with the utmost folly
and allowed Jacob Schiff to get the mag
nifcent trans-continental systems out of
our hands for song, and Mr.. Hartman
is now proceeding to blanket them with
securities which are to run for 100 years.
Mr. Taft's third reason is nothing short
of comical. He fears that 1T would place
in the hands Of reckless Executive
power of control over business and poll
tics that the imagination can hardlv con-
ceive and would expose Our popular in
stitutions to danger" This is very, very
dro11 Is it not we'll known that five men
can get together in Wall Street, any day
in the wear and make a change in pas
senger and freioht rates that will operate
as tax upon the American people from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific? Is it not
known that they can arbitrarily levy
tax Of millions Of dollars per month upon
the people of this country? Would it be
possible for the most reckless of execu-
tives to do the people a greater harm
than Morgan, Rockefeler and other
panic-makers did them 1907 and 1893?
Do not these railroad kings exert at the
present time. a power of control over Our
representation that even now exposes our
popular institutions to danger? Isn't it.
after all, a question Of whether the gov
erning BODY shall CONTROL or whether
private and irresponsible money seekers
shall hold the mastery? The government,
after all, is but huge corporation repre-
senting all the people. 1t is vested with
the power of Government for the benefit
of all the people. Isn't it, after all, a
question of whether the governing cor
poration shall do what it was organized
to do, or whether it will abdicate in favor
of lesser corporations that were not or

senger on a German railway does net feel
that he is carrying his life in his hands.
He has no such fear of the horrible rail-
way accidents that we constantly carry
with us in travelling upon the American
railways. Most people of the poorer class
es are quite content to 60 in the third class
coach in Germany, and in this the price
paid is LA cents per mile. Fourth class
travelling is not purgatoria1, and that can
be had at three-fourths of cent per mile.
According to a table which appears in
the last weeks issue of THE Public" the
average receipts per passenger mile in
1901 on German state railways, was as
follows:
Baden, one and one-sixth cents.
Bavaria, one and one-ffth cents,
Oldenburg and Saxony, about one cent.
Mecklenburg, one and a fourth cent
Wurttemberg, about one cent.
Prussia, fraction less than one cent.
When we remember that the railroads
of this country combat the efforts of the
various states of the Union to establish
uniform two cent a mile passenger rate,
and contend that such rate "conhscates"
their property, the statistics bearing upon
the German Railway situation make very
interesting reading. Mr.. Taft ought to
employ some of his leisure moments in
posting himself
Mr.. Taft's second reason is that the
purchase of our railroads by the Govern
ment would involve an expenditure of
$I2, 900, 100000, ard the creation of an
enormous National debt The Jefferson
ian is pleased to learn that Mr.. Taft
views with alarm" the creation of ar
enormous National debt" It is exceed
inglv encouraging to find that he is pos
sessed of fears of that sort But, really,
is $4,000. 100000 a verv big sum for a
country which can spend billion everv
wear in running the government. ABOUT
HALF OF WHICH AMOUNT rs Alb
SOIUTFLY WASTED?
Whv should the Government! run irto
debt purchasing the railroads? Did Mr.
Hartman buy his railroads with his own
money? If so. where did he get it? Did
any of our railway kings purchase their
railroads with their own monev? Not
a single one of them The Dublic-the
great, patient, ignorant unprooressive
public-was kind enough to furnish these
Captains of Industry with the money
which thew bouoht the roads with, and

THINGS LOOK DIFFERENT.
Washington Begins, to See the Prob ability of Gov. Johnson's
 Nomination.

Washington. D. C.-Well informed political observers who survey the country from Washington have noted a wonderful change in the campaign for the Democratic nomination at Den yer within the last week. No so very long ago it was taken for granted that Col. Bryan would be nominated with practically no opposition-to-day it is q question whether he will be nomin- ated at all. Gov. Johnson of Mime sota has loomed up as the man be tween whom and Col. Bryan the con- ventiOn at Denver will have to choose. Gray of Delaware. Olney of Massachu- setts. and Harmon of Ohio. are no longer considered in the running In deed, the suddenness in which the Minnesota man has come to the front is almost dramatic.
 Reports pouring into Washington from all parts of the country indi- cate that the Johnson men have made wonderful progress, largely of the country where they were not suppos d to be at work at all
 As the situation stands to-day, prac tically all of the New England, all of the eastern states. and large portion of the southern states will send John son, or what is the same thing. "prac- Hcally. uninstructed delegates to Den yer. Friends of Col. Bryan were some what perturbed oyer reports drifting into Washington regarding such states as Utah, Colorado. Oregon, Montana. Washington Michigan, and Kentucky. Reports are also coming in that a tremendous Johnson senti- ment is appearing in Missouri, and a large number Of uninstructed, or John son, delegates being sent up to the Illinois state convention, revealing an unexpected Johnson strength under meath the surface. All political ob- servers ill Washington are agreed that there will be a lively contest for the nomination at Denver.
 It is even claimed that two-thirds of the delegates 10 the convention will { be unpledged, and such Democrats as Representative John Sharp Williams. 1 Bourke COchrane, Senator CulberSOn and Senator Daniels, declare that the Denver convention will be deliber- ative body, which. before it nomin- ates. will consider the qualifications of the aspirants and their prospects of winning.
 There is a feeling here that John son as poor boy and self-made man with a romantic and even tragic life history, coming from an early life as obscure and painful as Lincoln's, and now risen to state power and national fame would make candidate of such respect accommodating. Vote-getting power that under his leadership the Democracy would have d splendid chance of winning

A GREAT DEMOCRATIC GOV
 ERNOR

Is the title of an exceptionally inter- esting and concise study of Gov. John A. Johnson of Minnesota in The Worlds Work for April. MT Winthrop E. Chamberlain. the author. sums up somewhat as follows: Gov. Johnson has often been compared with Lin coin, whom he resembles in physical makeup as we'll as in the success with which he has overcome un- toward circumstances and has em. braced opportunity as it arose. But his political career thus far recalls rath- CT that of Grover Cleveland up to the time of his triumphant election as gov ernor of New York. Like Cleveland. he was the instrument used by the peo- pie of a great state to rebuke politicat corruption. Like Cleveland, he has proved that the popular reliance upon him was we'll founded. But he pos sesses some characteristics valuable in public man that Cleveland lacked, such as geniality, approachability, readiness as a speaker He has the courage of Hughes tempered by the tact of Taft He is as convinced of the supreme necessity of law enforce ment as Roosevelt, but impulsye de- nunciation of those who do not agree with him would be quite foreign to his character. It is the charm of his personality that makes friend of every man who comes within the ra
 dius of his influence. Often radical in utterance, he is usually consery. ative in action Conservative states. manship he has never as yet shown in great measure, yet he is sensitive to the thoughts of the masses and knows how to give 1t effective ex. prsssion. =.
