Too Much Iaw-Making.

Council Bluffs. Ia, Feb. 22-To the
Editor Of The Bee: Patriotism and
stand behind the president is about
all you can read in the majority of
newspapers. President Wilson may be
all right and his cause just, but how
can the government expect the COM
mon people to be patriotic when all
the patriotism has been legislated out
of them?
Thirty years ago larger volunteer
army could have been raised than

Breaking the smothering Silence.

Moorefield, Neb., Feb. 21.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Nearly twenty
five years ago the populist party ad-
vocated that railroads and other pub
lie service utilities be owned and oper-
ated by the federal government. The
idea was spurned by thousands of our
most conservative business men. To-
day the car situation and other condi-
lions have proved beyond a shadow
Of doubt that the old populist idea
was correct, and we find the masses
of the people in strong favor of the
idea.
The populist party is legally dead
(however, its spirit liveth). The
issue is not party issue, but an
issue of the people, by the people and
for the people. Some time ago, at
my suggestion, a resolution was intro
duced in the Nebraska legislature to
the effect that the congress of the
United States, and especially our own
Nebraska delegation, be asked to take
immediate steps toward the federal
government taking over the railroads,
to be owned and operated under strict
civil service regulations. So far as
I know the resolutions have not come
to a vote yet. This resolution will
not accomplish the entire object but
it will, If passed. make the congress
and the railroads sit up and take no.
tice that the sentiment of the people
is for government ownership. 1t will
break the ice. 1t will break the
smothered silence on the subject. I'm
mediate action is needed,
