It Is expected to take over the North
ern Pacific's share In that road. which.
total OF $3.50, 0,0OO. 600 to be refunded.
The Burlington has always earned con-
siderably more than IL has paid on its
stock and 1t has long been known that
Mr.. Hall planned ultimately to transfer
the Northern Pacinc's interest to the
Great Northern There Is an enormous
equity In the property over the cost to
the controlling roads. and II is expected
that the Burlington's dividend will be in
creased to 10 per cent II the transfer goes
through. In view OF the recent opinions
Of the Supreme Court In defining ''rea-
sonable restraint" II Ii held In st. Paul
that merger OF the Great Northern and
Burlington would be allowed.

said:
Covering a period Of nifty years. ap-
proximately $27O.OO0.Oo0 in bonds will be

double tracking and additional mileage.
Since its beginning. thirty-two years ago.
the Great Northern has expended between
$3.50, 100000 and $500. OOO. 900 out OF capital
and earnings. The provision made for
the future, in consideration Of the rapid
ly growing territory which the Great
Northern serves. would seem intelligentiy
conservative. In no other part OF the
country has nature more generously be-
slowed those three great sources OF all
national wealth-the farm. the forest and
the m.le-and nowhere else Is there more
room for such development as follows the
occupation Of a new country by an In.
telligent population.
1.-THE Great Northern has evidently
made ample financial provision to enable
II to keep its facilities and extensions
equal to all demands that q rapidly
growing country may make upon 1t, and
at the same time to maintain the high
est and most efficient standard Of service.
Future issuance Of bonds against prop
erty acquired II safeguarded by the re-
strictions usually found in mortgages OF

Bryan O Private Citizen,

Congressman Underwood's verbal
assault on William Jennings Bryan
as a dictator has set the pens again
Of those editors who are in the habit
of misrepresenting the great Demo-
cratic leader. 1t reminds us Of the
days when Bryan was first the can
didate of his party, for this kind of
warfare originated with the pluto
cratic element of the Democratic
party about that time. Charges of
political dictatorship againsS Bryan
have a suspicious significance, and
comes as a general thing from those
in the Democratic party who secret
ly want to see Republicanism pre-
vail if they can't get republicaniz-
ed Democrat for a candidate.
AS Bryan is merely private cit
izen, the accusation that he is a
political dictator cannot be made
against him by any one Of good
sense in good faith. How can Bryan,
or any other man, be political die
tator when he holds no public office
of any kind, not even chairman
ship in any organization of his party,
who belong to no inside political
CLIQUE, who has no big business affili-
atoms, who can not pull single
secret wire in politics. whose only
political power is the confidence that
a vast majority of the masses Of his
party repose in his fidelity? Bryan's
political power has no other source
nor support than that weil-earned
confidence which the Democrats Of
the country have in him.
The abuse heaped on Bryan is
only an effort on the part or galvan-
lied Democrats to descry his influ-
ence so as they can republicanize the
Democratic party Bryan has no
longer even the dubious power Of a
possible candidate for the presidency
for he has distinctly declared that
he is not candidate for the nomi-
nation. That the power of such a
man as Bryan has is to be dreaded
by some kind Of political managers
is true enough; but not BY any Of
the kind with whom we stu wish to
identify the future of the great DEM
ocratic party. There is vast diff
ference in the wholesome power Of
trusted leader like Bryan and the
soto -, ,~chi, nF Nn1ifi-
cal boss.
