lUNION .. LA
The present restless discon-
tent Is a blessed sign of the clos-
Ing of an old dispensation and
the opening of a new and bright
era. The present restlessness
and discontent will in a little
while be spiritualized and har-
monlzed, and out of it all will
come a progress, a prosperity
and a civilization that the most
optimistic have only faintly hlnt-
ed at. Be patient! In a little
while the goldn sun of a golden
day will be In the zenith. God
if God! Hp is always in His
universe, and makes no mls-
takes. Victor Hugo.
OWNERSHIP VS. REGULATION.
In the last issue of the Commoner
William J. Bryan discusses the rela
tion of regulation of railroads to pro
posed government and state owner
ship of the came, and In the same
article handles the stock objection to
ownership "any administration could
entrench itself forever In power under
government ownership." Mr. Bryan
says:
A number of things have contrib
uted to convince me of the impossi
bility of the effectiveness of regula
tion ns applied to railroads, the main
thing being the corruption which the
rnilroos have brought into politics.
In my own state we tried, some la
years ago, to obtain a reduction in
railroad rates. After a hard struggle
the bll! was passed through the legis
lature, but the governor vetoed It. At
the same session the railroads bribed
one of the members of the legislature,
and as he did not dare to remain in
the rtate and betray his constituents,
the railroads took him on a specia)
engine to the state line and he has
never returned to Nebraska since. At
the next cession the bill passed In
spite of the efforts of the railroads,
and this time was signed by the gov
ernor, but the railroads Immediately
enjoined the enforcement of the law
and we are still waiting for a reduc
tion of freight rates although the rail
roads are able to pay dividends on a
large amount of watered stock and
ficticious capitalization.
1 need only repeat that government
ownership Is proposed not as an Im
mediate remedy, but as the ultimate
remedy. If democratic friends de
clare that they prefer private owner
ship to public ownership, I answer
tht I would prefer private ownership
If I believed It possible to regulate
the roads !n a manner satisfactory to
the public. It Is because I have lost
faith In regulation that I have sug
gested ownership. If further experi
ence with regulation satisfies the peo
ple they will not be called upon to
consider the question of public own
ership in the hope of securing effic
ient regulation. I can be patient
with those who still hope and can wait
for events to convince them as events
have convinced me.
No one will deny that the trend of
events Is toward government owner
ship. Ten years ago when I was de
nounced as too radical, I neither ad
vocated government ownership nor
suggested thb possibility of It I was
still hoping for regulation. Since that
time the president himself has held
out the possibility of government
ownership as a threat to compel the
railroad to consent to regulation. I
was only about six months ahead of
the president In suggesting govern
ment ownership as a remedy, the dif
ference between his position and mine
being, he regards government owner
ship as fraught with dnnger and still
hopes that successful regulation may
make government ownership unneces
sary. I go a step farther nnd express
it as my opinion that experience has
al-eady proved the futility of regula
tion and propc-so a plan which elim
inates the greatest evil of government
ownership the centralization of so
' much power In the hands of the feder
! al government. Without this alterna
i tlve of government Ownership It would
be entirely Impossible to drive the
railroads out of polities. Even with
this threat I am very much afraid that
we shall not he able to keep the rail
road representatives away from con
gress and the state legislatures.
There Is lust one other objection to
which I wish to refer, namely that
under government ownership an ad
ministration could keep Itself In pow
er. Under the dual system proposed
only the trunk lines would be under
the control of the federal government,
and their employes would be few
compared with the entire number of
railroad employes In the country. As
the various states would own the local
lines within theli borders ,the influ
ence of one state would counteract
the Influence of another state. Then
too, under a proper civil service the
Interference of the railroad employes
in politics would he reduced to a min
imum. Some 12 years ago I propos
ed a change in the civil service law
which would give o each party Its
proportionate representation In the
civil service. This plan would pre
serve the merit system In the appoint
ments but would give each party its
share of the offices, and the employes
would counteract each other's Influ
ence.
I might add that having passed
through two campaigns, I have been
able to furm an opinion of the civil
service employes as compared with
the railroad employes. The president
was against me in both my campaigns.
In the first a democratic president
was using his influence In behalf of
the republican candidate, and In the
second election the republican candi
date was at the head of all the de
partments of the government. In
both campaigns the civil service em
ployes gave me less trouble man the
railroad employes, who were coerced
by their employers Into the support
of the republican ticket, and I say
withcut hesitation that I would rather
risk the Influence which a president
can bring to bear upon civil service
employes than to risk the influence
which railroad owners can bring to
bear upon railroad emlpoyes.
SAXD CASTLES.
Dolly, dear, you recollect.
How with childish hand,
We, fair castles, would erect
On the level strand?
You, in saucy pinafore,
I, with urchin spade,
Wondrous castles, those of yore.
By some wave low laid.
Back that was, full twenty years
(Pardon, if you will),
But you're partial, It appears,
To the pastime still.
True, no longer have you me.
Dolly, for your mate,
But you have a vis a vis
Whom you higher rate.
For I note you sitting there
By the pleasant tide.
Charlie Rocks, or Lord de Where,
Lolling at your side;
And your costume Is as short
As I ever knew;
And you're faithful to the sport
Quite the summer through.
Dear, I do not recollect,
Ih those days of old.
Tou were such an architect
As I now behold;
Castles Tankee, English, French,
Plan you; gilded, tall!
Sure, misfortune cannot drench.
Shall not drench them all.
Edwin L. Sabln, In the Bohemian.
BUILDING SINKS INTO THE SAND.
One of the oddest sights just now
In the old world Is a sinking; building
mmedlately outside of the gates of
Tunis, Africa.
The Tunisian architects blundered
In not following the Scriptural In
Junction of building their house on
the rocks or at least on a more solid
foundation than sand.
It is a grain elevator with offices
on the first floor, and was regarded as
a monumental structure In a city
where five-story buildings are a rar
ity.
For a year or more everything
went well, but recently the building
began to slnjc, gradually, into the
sand until It assumed the position it
now holds. All the contents have
been removed and the building has
been declared unsafe for business.
French engineers say. they can save
the structure. They will wait until It

has sunk a little further Into the
sand on one side and then they will
dig away the sand from under the
other side, when an attempt will be
made to drag It into its normal posi
tion. There are some who regard
this as a hazardous undertaking that
might prove fatal to some of the
workmen employed on the Job.
YICTOlt lll'GO MUSEUM.
The house In which Victor Hugo
lived during the most Important part
of his life, from 1832 to 184S, and in
which he wrote the most popular of
his literary works, has recently been
fitted up for a museum and now con
tains a fascinating collection of per
sonal relics nnd mementoes of that
remarkable man.
It Is situated in the riace des Vos
ges. a historical square In a forgotten
part of Paris. Six or seven hundred
years ago It was the center of the
fashionable quarter and was sur
rounded by the palaces of the Hen
rys. The square Itself was used for
several centuries as a Jousting ground
for knights.
King Henry II was accidentally
killed there In a tournament. The
palaces were demolished by Catherine
de Medici and King Henry IV, who
had a frugal disposition, replaced
them with lofty dwelling houses
which he rented to members of the
court. They are fine types of fifteenth
century dwellings, surrounding a
square about the size of an ordinary
city block.
The ground floor Is protected by a
series of colonnades or arcades like
those of the Palais Royal, which be
longed to a subsequent generation.
At one time they were considered the
most desirable residences In the city.
In 1639 Cardinal Richelieu erected in
the center of the square a bronze
equestrian statue of Louis XIII, which
was destroyed by the mob In 1792 and
replaced by Louis Phillipe In 1S21.

GUAM AND ITS PEOPLE.
The Island of Guam, a possession of
the United States in mid-Pacific, is
the subject of a letter from Agama
the capital, to the Charlotte, N. C,
Chronicle. Guam has an area of 200
square miles on which are 9000 peo
ple, fctatistlcs give 18 schools on the
Island and state that nine-tenths of
the Islanders can read and write. Yet
the letter says that the people will
not work. The shipments of mer
chandise from the States to Guam
amounted In value to $101,900 In
1904, and only $610 In 1905.
The writer states that the only
farming Implement used In Guam Is a
hoe used like the scuffling hoe in the
Elates, plows being unknown. Guam
is said to be thickly wooded, well
watered nnd fertile, producing trop
ical frilts abundantly. There Is also
a good harbor. The article conclud
that "If the American people wish
to help Guam they can do It quickly
and efficiently by teaching the peo
ple improved agriculture. If the pa-.
ricultural possibilities of Guam were
developed, the people would not have
to depend on Japanese traders for
tneir sustenance. '
CONSTITUENTS OF A MAX.
German scientists announce that
the material for a man weighing 150
pounds can be found In the white
and yolks of 1200 hens' eggs. Reduced
to a fluid, the average man would
yield 98 cubic meters of Illuminating
gas and hydrogen enough to fill a
balloon capable of lining 156 pounds.
The normal human body has In It the
iron needed to make seven large nalU,
the fat for 14 pounds of candles, the
carbon for 64 gross of crayons and
phosphorous enough for 820,000
matches. Out of It can be obtained,
besides, 20 coffeespoons of salt, 50
lumps of sugar, and 42 liters of water,
A BUSY WOMAN.
Many years ngo a visitor to the
home of the Hltthome of the Hltt
family at Mount Morris, III., found
Mrs. Hltt quite busy. She was hold
ing a child In her lap, she was rock
ing the baby In the cradle, she was
knitting, and she was reading a news
paper folded over the back of a chair,
The visitor remarked that the sons of
such a woman ought to have a good
record. The late Robert R. Hltt, the
congressman from Illinois, was one of
the boys.
HendrlckBen and Thornton, both
15-year convicts, en route to McNeil's
Island penitentiary from Alaska, es

steamer Nation City. They sawed a
hole through the roof of the state
