GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Many people mistake the present
AuenL ownership.
Inc Government does not own the
raIroaus OF the Telephone OF tele-
SIapA INES, they are merely beng
controlled by the Government. Iney

nlanQs Ut labor, were forced to raise
tfelgnt rates. Every department Oh
the Government was supposed to take
care OIL It's part OF the expenses, ana
the people have to bear the burdens.
Some papers say that Government
ownership is failure. How 90 they
know! We have never had govern
lnent ownership.
Inere Is vast difference in Govern
ment ownership under normal condl-
lions and merely Government control
under wartime conditions.
In the past we have advocated Gov
eminent ownership of public utilities;
under normal conditions we believe
now that it would be better for the
people, but we do not now nor did we
ever advocate private ownership and
government control" If any indi-
vidual or a number of individuals own
thing, they should enjoy the sweet
American privnege OF running 1t to
tnelr own liking.
1t would be out of the question for
the Government to consider for mo-
ment now OF purchalng the rail-
roads OF the wire lines. The obliga
tions already piled up for the people to
pay by taxation are too great to think
of taking on more. For that reason
we are in favor Of turning the rail-
roads and the telegraph and telephones
back to the proper owners, and let
them operate them to suit themselves.
The war is over now, and the Gov
ernment should not continue to finance
the railroad business, keep up tracks,
rolling stock, ETC., at the expense OF
the Government and at the same time
force the people to pay the bills. 1t
does not look good, according to our
way of thinking. 1t was alright
while the war was on, but it is diff
ferent now.
If the Government should decide to-
continue the operations Of the rail-
roads and wire lines for the next five
years, it will cost the rar-'ae two bill
lion dollars

In Final Stretch.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-With the
Reds and White Sox close to sure
things" as the seasons pennant win
ners, dopesters are watching the
work of the two teams in the final
stretch to get line on the worlds
series prospects. . If the work Of the
two leaders the past week is to be
taken as an indication, the cash of
the doubtful ones will lean toward
the White Sox.
Maybe Moran is easing up his boys
in the stretch, perhaps the absence
of Heinie Groh has upset the club.
But the Reds slumped badly last
week. Their batting was way off
form with the poorest stick work of
the league Out of the seven games
they won only four.
On the other hand, Gleason kept
up his whirlwind pace. In six games,
the White Sox won five. The club
was third in team hitting for the
week and was brilliant in the field,
with only one error. Their work for
the week was not only the best in
the American league, but outshone
ANYTHING in the older organization.
