THE SUNDAY- OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND.: SEXOIBEI? -16, . 1906. TALKS OWNERSHIP . - TO SOUTHERNERS Bryan Tells Virginians How States. Would Benefit by His Scheme. NOT MERE FEDERAL TRUST Commoner Addresses Great Crowds at Roanoke and Radford, Going to Holllns' Institute to Spend Sunday. ROANOKE, Va.. Sept. 16. W. J. Bryan spent today In Southwest Virginia, de livering an address this afternoon to the largest crowd ever gathered in this part of the state in the Fair grounds at Rad ford, and speaking to an enormous throng hero tonight. His Radford speech was , political, but here he . discussed ethics. At Radford, Mr. Bryan said Democracy i a doctrine that appeals to the heart, that being why the Democratic party llvesi whether it wins r loses. "While the Re publican party Is claiming credit for its opposition to the trusts, it is not doing Its duty on the trust question," eaid Mr. Bryan.' "I am willing to go down on my knees and ask my heavenly father to 'give us this day our daily bread but I am not willing to make millions of my countrymen get down on their knees and say to some, trust magnate, 'give us this day our daily bread,' and have him reply, 'I will if you vote the ticket I want you to vote.' "In the Impending campaign we shall challenge the Republican party to state its position and we will etate ours boldly that you cannot regulate a private mo nopoly; that you need not waste time trying to restrain it, but that you must kill it' outrleht." Not Out and Out Ownership. He referred to the railroad rate law and lie said he was going a little further. "Two years ago," he said, "I had reached the conclusion that Government ownership was the only solution of the question. My position ha been misstated and in some places misconstrued. I have been accused of favoring a thing that would lead to centralization. ' Let me remind you that this plan, not only does not lead to centralization, but it is the first sug gestion made in many years that looks toward the strengthening of the etate and making a bulwark against centraliza tion. People have been discussing pub lic ownership with the idea that the Fed eral Government would own the railroads, and it seemed that that was frauthl with danger, because I believe in the Dem ocratic doctrine of local self-governmenc. States Would Have a Share. "I believe' in our own constitutional doctrine that such local things are for the states and National affairs for the Federal Government, and therefore In stead of advocating a Federal ownership that would centralize all this power at "Washington, I advocated a dual plan, whereby only the trunk lines would be under the control of the state govern ment, and if anybody senses that is Impracticable, I cannot but tell them that in the Empire of Germany almost all the railroads are owned by the sepa rate states and that the Empire wants to get railroads in order to strengthen the Federal Government, but the states refuse to surrender them because they are the influential strength of the states. So, my friends, instead of being for cen tralization, this is the plan that gives to the state the power to strengthen itself and to attend to Its own affairs. Private Owners' Club Biggest. There has been another objection, and the only one to which I wish to refer, and that Is that if we had the ownership of railroads by the Government, it would ' increase the political power of the party in control. Well, I have an opinion, because when I was a candidate for President I had a chance to measure relative influence of the administration over its civil servants and the influence of the railroad over its employes. I never had any difficulty with mail-carriers and civil service employes, but the Tailroads marshaled their forces and compelled their men, against the risk of losing employment, to march in their parade and wear the button of their champion. "If any of you are afraid of Govern ment ownership. I want you to join with me and announce it as the doctrine of the Democratic party that a man con nected with the railroads should not be placed where he has to serve two mas ters. The Problem Par Beneath. "These questions I have discussed are surface indications of a still deeper ques tion. It is a question between plutoc racy and the people. It is the question whether the wealth of this country is to be garnered in the hands of the few by privileges given out to those who can control the Government.': . . . Mr. Bryan arrived at Radford today ; and was given a noisy welcome by the town people. He was the house guest of Governor Tyler. Excursion trains car ried thousands of visitors to Radford, while a large number arrived from the country. Mr. Bryan, with his wife and daughter, Grace, and ex-Governor and Mrs. Tyler, go to Hollin's Institute to spend Sun day. His daughter is to be entered at Hollin's for the term. He will speak at .Raleigh, N. C, Monday morning. NOT READY TO DEFINE TRUST Bryan Paces Leading Question Prom Editor of Iron Trade. CLEVELAND. O.. Sept. 15. The Iron Trade Review has obtained from W. J. Bryan a more definite statement of his position in regard to the so-called trusts. In a letter to -Mr. Bryan, George Smart, the editor of that paper, said: "In your recent address at Madison Square Garden. New York, you denned a trust to be 'any corporation which con trols so much of the product of any arti cle) that it can fix the terms and condi tions of sale.' Later in your address you said: 'It is far easier to prevent a monop oly than to watch It and then punish it, and this prevention can be accomplished in a practical way by refusing a license to any corporation which controls more than a certain proportion of the total product, this proportion to be arbitrarily fixed at a point which will give free op eration to competition.' " Editor Smart then quoted some statls ' tics to show that the United States Steel Corporation controlled 1 per cent of the production of ttnplates, 68 per cent of wire nails, 60 per cent of crude steel, 47 per cent of finished rolled products,' 44 per cent of pig iron, 43 per cent of Iron ore and 38 per cent of coke. He then asks: "The question which it seems to me is pertinent to ask Is whether you consider that the United States Steel Corporation, on account of manufacturing the percent age of products mentioned above, is a trust, and for that reason should be re fused a license. If you consider the per centage too large, to what extent would you compel ' the corporation to sell or dismantle its plants so that it tU not be a trust?" To this letter, Mr. Bryan responded as follows: "Your favor at hand. I thank you for the Information given in regard to the steel trust I note in some cases it con trols more than half the product, and In some cases less. I am not prepared to state just how much a proportion a cor poration can control without, becoming a trust in the sense that it limits compe tition, and competition controls the price and terms of sale. For the conduct of my own paper, I draw the line at' 50 per cent, and do not accept an advertise ment of a corporation controlling more than 60 per cent of the product in which it' deals. I have only been contending for a principle. The details are less' im portant, as they can be determined ac cording to experience and experiment. I am inclined to believe, however, that the steel trust controls more of the product than It Is good for the American people that one corporation should. "In saying that a corporation should not be licensed when it controls enough to eliminate competition, I do not mean to say that the individual industries that are under management should be de stroyed. The corporation should simply be compelled to reduce its factories until its production is in the limit fixed by the law." Republicans to Welcome Bryan. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 15. A feature of the reception planned for W. J. Bryan, September 24, is the participation of the Louisiana Republican Club in the ar rangements announced today. An at tempt will be made to render this re ception entirely nonpartisan. GABBERT BIGGER THAN PARTY Colorado Republicans Nominate Law-Enforcing Democrat Judge. DENVER, Sept. 15.

Hey. worth, Building Contractors, Will Die J. H. HoIIwung and W. Ayer Arrested. CHICAGO,- Sept. 15. (Special.) Two prominent Chlcag business men were fatally injured and two others sustained Injuries from which it will probably take weeks to recover, -when two. rapidly mov ing automobiles collided tonight In Rogers Park. The two men fatally hurt are Solomon Sturgis and James O. Heyworth, general contractors, with offices In the Railway Exchange building. They wre in a large touring car belonging to Mr. Heyworth, who was on his way to his home in Lake Forest with hia friend Mr. Sturgia. - while the machine was moving along Ridge avenue at a lively clip, Mr. Hey worth noticed another machine apparent ly bearing down on him. He blew his horn and slowed. The other auto came on like a cyclone, and Just before reach ing Mr. Heyworth's machine gave a quick swing at the same t'me and in the same direction that Mr. Heyworth had swung his car In an attempt to avoid collision. With terrific force the car occupied by J. H. Hollwung and William Ayer struck Heyworth's car broadside and dragged it along the road fully 150 feet," with Mr. Heyworth and his friend beneath it. Holl wung and Ayer were thrown from their car and sustained a number of cuts and' bruises. These were dressed by a physi cian and the men were arrested. Mr. Heyworth and Mr. Sturgis were attended by a number of physicians, after which they were taken to the St. Francis Hos pital in Evanston,' where it was said they were in a dangerous condition. UNAPPROVED BY WHEELER Stanford President Can See No Good in "Spelling Reform." STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.. Sept. 15. Commencement exerctees, which were postponed from last June, were held here tonight. The commencement address was delivered by Benjamin Ide Wheeler, pres ident of the University of California. President Wheeler's address was on the subject of philology. In tne course of his address he said: The establishment by the United States of a standard of written English different from that recognised elsewhere In the English- speaking- territory is an Isolated and inde cisive movement promising loss and waste to Intercourse and culture and Introducing consciousness of contrariety where the op posite is desired. The English language is not the property of the people of the United States, still less of Its Government;" it is a precious possession of the English-speaking world, and the moral authority to Interfere In its regula tion must arise out of the entire body and not from a segment thereof. Any radical change such as, for instance, would be Involved in phonetic writing, would have the effect of cutting us off from the language of Shakespeare and the English Bible, making this a semi-foreign Idiom, to be acquired by special study. The proposal gradually to introduce, through the co-operation of volunteers, a certain number of new spellings, and then, when these are well under way, presumably certain others, seems to promise an era of ghastly confusion in printing offices and in private orthography and heterography, as well as much irritation to readers' eyes and spirits. The list of 300 words proposed by the simplified spelling board is a somewhat hap hazard collection, following no " very clear principle of selection. One hundred and fifty seven of them, such as color .for colour, are already In their docked form familiar to American usage. There is no excuse, how ever, for thru for through) from any point of view. FLASHLIGHTMJF LYNCHING Texas Negro Strung Up Because He Slashed White Man. WACO, Tex.. Sept. 15. (Special.) Mitchell, a negro, was lynched tonight at Kosebud, Tex., being strung up to a water tank and a flashlight " picture taken of the scene.

It appears that out of 32 rules asked by the operators of the Postal Telegraph & Cable- Company, of Chicago, only one trivial rule was 'al lowed, vis That the operators be per mitted to smoke after midnight All the other rules were rejected by i Mr. Nally, who has just returned from a month's visit to New Tork City where he was in consultation with the higher officials of the company, which would Indicate that the decision he ren dered emanated from that source. The Commercial Telegrapher's Union is to take the matter up and will endeavor to bring about an amicable understand ing. What the result will be is conject ure. The men in the Chicago office have long complained of the ironclad restriC' tions that have been placed upon them and feel that if their grievances are not adjustted at an early date they will en deavor to force matters.
