Tho affirmative In this debate con. tended tjmt government ownership of tho railroads is necessary for tho com plete economic growth and develop ment of tho nation, on tho contention that railroad Investments nro no longer desirable; that tho proper function of a democratic government is to extend Its railroad facilities with tho resulting expansion; and thirdly, thnt government ownership has been successful, ns evidenced in 43 dlffcront nations, and also in tho Panama canal zone. The negative denied the chargo that tho railroads control American industries or American finances, and thoy contended that government own ership of tho railroads is financially impossible. Tho valuation of tho American railroads it contended Is $10,000,000,000 and to purchase them outright would multiply tho na tional debt 1,7 times. This It was as serted would depreciate the valuo of federal bonds. It was contended that it costs tho government more to Inilld and operate than prlvato cor porations, through lack of competlvo forces, and cited alleged waste of $40,000,000 in tho construction of a Canadian transcontinental railroad.

E OLD NEWSPAPER MEN NEW YORK, March 31, John Urlshen Walker, formerly a magazlno publisher hero, now retired to a Colorado estato, announced through tho Editor and PubJIshor today an Offer to glvo a alto of 40 acres at Mount Morrison, Colo,, to establish a homo for nowBpnper mon. Mr. Walker stated that ho had reached tho decision to offer tho gift after conferences with Now York Journal ists, , In his announcement Mr. Walker declared that "although no profes sion makes more sorlous demands upon tho health of Its members than that of Journalism, no attempt has beon mndo'up to this tlmo to estab lish a country homo whoro those who have given their best efforts to tho press may find a retreat in tho event of a temporary or pormnnont breakdown," Ry ROGER W. UA11SON. GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, March 27. From Ecuador tho usual tropical fruits are exported, also soffo, cot ton, tobacco and rubber. Tho last named may bo gathered and brought to market every month In the year, and all over the world there Is an Increasing demand for It. Sugar cane Is raised In little mora than suf ficient quantities for home consump tion, though a little Is sent to other countries. Tho extensive forests contain trees of many valuable varieties. Including besides rubber, and the various palms, tho cinchona, from which quinine, over necessary In this climate, Is obtained, tho mangrove, an agent of the tanning Industry, and the silk cotton tree, whose fibre Is known to the commercial world ns kapok. Cat tle and sheep nro raised, as there are extenslvo grazing lands, especial ly In tho uplands. Hides bring good prices and are largely cxpor:ed, as. arc also goatskins and alligator skins, Tho wool produced Is snld to bo of very flno quality. Tho mineral wealth of tho country Is known to be large, but Is little do vcoplcdod owing to tho Inadequate means of transportation. Gold, mer cury, copper. Iron, lead, silver nnd platinum havo been found, as well as largo deposits of sulphur In cer tain districts. Petroleum has also been discovered In paying quanti ties. It that Is the fuol of the future, It might bo very profitable to havo a dopot of supply on this coast. There are groat coal fields in tho Interior,! but little developed. Increased rail road facilities will almost certainly bring wealth to those developing t,ho mineral resources. Ecuador has ono shoo factory, em ploying 100, output CO, "On pairs n year. Tho manager Is a North Am erican, who received his training Jn Now England factories. Manufacturing, however, Is n lim ited industry, howovcr, and much of tho work is dono in a rather primi tive way by hand. Guayaquil makes important articles of consumption, even Including lco. Ono of tho most successful manufactures mentioned Is that of matches. A woll-equlppcd tannery la also in operation at this port, and smaller establishments pro duce bags, cotton fabrics and mo saics. Tho intenso heat at this lowland, swampy placo must dlscnurngo very active endeavors in any lino. Tho higher lancLi, however, boast more manufacturing, Quito having flour millB, foundries, sugar refineries and ico factories. Shoos, wagons, sad dlos, embroideries, laco and other things aro mado by hand, Quito is notod for the largo amount of religious painting and sculpture dono by Its artists and sent to other countries. Though this city Is almost oxactly on tho equator, yet Its elevation of over 9,000 feet makes it a pleasant climate, and far more healthful than tho lowlands. There Is less rainfall and n shorter winter season than nt Guayaquil. At Quito nro oltunted most of tho higher educational Institutions, nnd thu National Astronomical observa tory Is a very Imposing building. The governmont expends about $KiO, 000 annually In tho maintenance of tho universities nt Guayaquil, Quito and Cuencn, nnd n law school nt l.oja, flic president recommends tho em ployment of more foreign teachers In these Institutions nnd nlo tho es tablishment of a school for the train Ing of teachers. A printing press was sot tip hero among these almost Inaccessible mountains ns far hack as 1700. This was Introduced by the Jesuits and they published a small periodical for a few years; but later tho press was used only for rollglouB tracts, and court nnd public announcements. A regular newspaper was started in Quito, howovcr, In 17S5, and no I patty, which had oinpln.HMl him to go to tho Gold CotKt of Africa did not fu his passport and have not potd tlvo proof of his cltlxunshlp.
