The New York World, a Democratic
paper, makes a careful analysis of the
railroad conditions of the country in its
comment on this part of Mr. Bryan's
speech. After giving statistics showing
the earnings and operating expenses of
the railroads of the country, the number
of stockholders, the millions of passenger
and the 1,276.000,000 tons of freight.
me world continues:
It requires a little matter of 1 ,296,000
employe to do thi work. Rather a big
business to turn over to a group or any
number nf groups of professional politician
it it not? Mr. Bryan cites the railroad
of Germany a proof that hi experi
ment oughtto be luccessful in the United
States. The total raiload mileage in the
German Empire is 34.0 16. Three States
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Texas have
as many miles of road as the Kaiser's
whole empire. Some of his friends point
to the example of New Zealand, if a
the railroads of Austrialia were added to
all the railroads of Europe the total would
still be less than that of the United
States. As for the German railroads,
they are not owned and managed by the
Government in any sense in which the
people of the United States understand
and can employ government ownership.
While the roads are operated by the
German states, these states are practic
ally private corporations so far an the
railroad business is concerned. No ques
tion of railroad policy is determined by
popular vote or party conventions oi polit
ical leaders. The railroads are outside
the entire relm of partisan politics. They
are not controlled by politicians, they are
not operated by politicians, they are not
affected by campaign considerations.

Men are queer. Wouldn't there be a
roar when they went home to their meals
if they had to climb up on a high stool in
front of a table on which there was no
cloth, and eat their meals in that fashion,
yet a majority of men, when they go to a
resturant to eat, will pick out th high
stool and the feed board to a comfortable
chsir with a cloth covered table. -
A man will borrow a chew of tobacco
and most of them will set their teeth in
the plug right where some other man
gnawed out a chew. Offer him a piece
of pie at home from which his wife or
one of the children had taken a bite and
he wou'd holler his head off. At home
he will not drink out of a glass or cup from
which some one of the fami y had been
drinking. Cail him into the back stall of
a livery barn, poll out a bottie and he
w.ll stick the neck of the bottle half way
