is the great number of watering places

these are SO charmingly situated among

Travelling in Germany Easy.

travelling in Germany has indeed, been
made easy. and the stranger does no.
travel. but is being Travelled If he cares
to. The much-abused police regulations
in Germany may appear obnoxious at
times. but they have established abso-
lutte order safety and protection Single
women without the knowledge of Ger
man may travel alone all over the en-
pire without trouble
Travelling. too. is far less expensive
than elsewhere in Europe. The first
class hotels offer the same luxurious
comfort as any in England or France
Many Americans have EXPRESSED the
opinion that some OF the leading Ger
man hotels outdo by long way some

tells in luXures. comfort. as well as eX-
cellent cooking and rea Sonanle prices.
They are very progressive. and the great
influx, for instance. into Berlin during
the last few years is. above all doubt,
due in the first instance to their ener-
getic and persevering advertising in the
great daiies Of the United States
In many cities. hotels, museums. col
lections and libraries are open only in
spring and autumn. while in Germany
travel is not limited to any particular sea

German hotels, except in pronounced sum

Museums. castles. libraries. etc. are vel

up year in and year out. Summer heat
is rarely so oppressive as to mar the pleas
ure of outdoor life while city life and
the much-developed snow and ice sports
offer innumerable inducements during the
winter.

w. J BRYAN ON ALASKA.

Those people IT Nh" Pacific Northwest who ad,
mirc the great CouIuou"r and th.ir number is
legion b, pleased 20 read this personal COM
ment by nina on tn, Alaskan railway bill in the
last ISSUE OF his paper
The chici oh'e rrion made to the project is
that it is an experiment in government ownership.
This is hardly far objection, because the public
character of the ownership is not matter Of
choice but a matter Of necessity. The conditions
which exist in the United States do not exist in
Alaska. Here there is certain amount of cOmpc-
tition in the building of railroads. but in Alaska
it is merely question whether the government
will construct the road in the interests Of the prO
pie of Alaska or allow it to be constructed by
corporation intent upon monOpOzlng the coun-
tryS possibilities. The experience under govern
m"nt ownership in the construction and operation
Of the Alaskan railroad may be useful Il guide,
but it can hardly be taken a precedent for gov
eminent ownership in the body of our country.'
Thus does he not only approve the plan which
we of this country all appreciate means the saliva
ton of our neglected neighbor to the north, but
briefly answers the only objection to the plan.
1t is a characteristic statement.
