WILL own railways: The Democracy of the People and the Aristocracy of the Corpo rations Must Fight for Su premacy, Progressive Congressman Says New York, Jan . 23 Govern ment ownership and operation of the railroads of the United Stales are inevitable, in the opinion of Representative .lame W. Bryan, Progressive, of Washington, who spoke on this topic at the Repub lican Club here today. Eventual ly the democracy of the people and the aristocracy of the rail road corporations must grapple in a fight to the finish, he said. Benjamin F. Yoakum, chairman of the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad Company, said it made little difference who owned the railroads, because the government could exercise the same regulat ive control over them as if it were really owned by them. "Monopoly of railway transpor tation is inevitable ami necessary Congressman Bryan said. "The attempt to keep the railways apart and compel them to fight each other is absurd and waste ful. Harriman did a great ser vice for the people in going as far as he did toward Harrimaniz- ing the railway systems; but a government which costs a billion a year feels its weakness in the presence of an internal corpora tion which under present systems must be managed by a few men. Such power naturally adds to it self other great interests, such ns the banking, manufacturing and water power interests and 'cads to an aristocracy of wealth in which a half dozen men become more powerful than kings. "The big' transportation ma chine in the United Slates lias in come too big to live under the people's corporation known as the United Stales of America. TJu 100 million stockholders of this 130 billion company will inevita bly conclude Ihal Ihe supremacy of Ihe government is challenged by this power. The inevitable re sult is a fight to the finish be tween Ihe two institutions. Either the democracy of the people, as serting itself through the fed.' fa I government, or the aristocracy ol the railroad corporations musl fail." Prof. Edward Sherwood Meade of the University of Pennsylvania and Thomas F. Wood lock, for merly of the Wall Street Journal, opposed government ownership, 1'rot. .Meade said danger would ensue it the executive heads of railroads were to change with each succeeding administration and denied that Ihe people op posed the. railways.

The whole cattle market took a turn for the better today. Sales 1 were called strong lo lO higher on all classes by salesmen, and pack er buyers claimed their droves cost them 10 lo 15 higher. Stock- ers and feeders were sold out close last week, and there was a good demand today from outside buyers and from yard tracers, at strong to 10 higher prices. As usual, on Monday a large per cent of the. receipts, 11,000 head in all, was stockcrs and feeders, which left a light supply for the killers. Cold weather is helping the beef market, though packers assert that consumers buy in small pack ages, a condition that makes a strong demand for butcher stuff and light steers, and a small de mand for heavy steers. Some good to choice steers brought $8.75 here last week, heifers up to the same figure, but nothing that good is here today, bulk of the beef steers selling at $7.50 ta S8.25, heifers at S6.00 to $7.50, cows at $5.50 to $0.75, bulls $5.75 to $0.50, veal calves up to $10.50, Quarantine receipts are very light 15 cars today, steers at $6.05 lo $7.05. The depressing influence on beef cattle prices for the last month or six weeks has been the heavy runs in the quarantine sec- lion of the Chicago yards, togeth er with bad beef outlet. Stock is gelling pretty well run out of Ihe quarantined counties in Ihe different slates, and the market will gradually have a lighter bur den to carry, and some improve ment in prices should result. Stockmen who are in a position lo handle cattle, and who have no! been influenced by the fool and moil ih scare have great faith in Ihe market, and buy stockcrs and feeders freely. Shipments to the country- from here lasl week were 1'UHiO head, more than 50 per cent of Ihe lolal receipts of cattle during the week. Most of the feeders sold al 7.25 lo .s7.('5, slock steers sO.50 to $7.50, choice young cattle up lo .sS.00. Hogs sold steady to strong to day, receipts 10,000. Order buy ers were out early and bought 1,000 or 1,200 hogs at $0.7!) to $0,S0 packers coming out later and pay ing $('i.('0 to $(),5. Light hogs are bringing a premium and will lead the others 10 to 15 cenls before the week is over. Packers have been very bearish recently, and have had their own way, but smaller hog receipts in Ihe East, and belter orders from there cil the Western markets will restore prices. Sheep and lambs sold 10 to 15 higher today. The market sagged Friday, but closed 25 higher for Ihe week on lambs, and 50 higher on shcej). Good iambs sold for sS.25 to -sS.40 today, and best ewes al-$5.75 lo ('.()(), two loads of ewes from Ft. Collins bringing the lop price. Receipts here are 7,000 head, and moderate supplies are in sight for later in the week. Two-thirds of the Monte Vista stuff has been marketed, and some inroads have been made in the Arkansas Valley feed lots, which carried small numbers tlii season lo begin with. Markets should average high all winter. J. A. RICKART, Market Correspondent IN JUSTICE TO THE FAITHFUL MULE. In history and poetry, in music and in art, the horse has been a favored beast and played a leading part; and while I don't begrudge him the fame that he has won, there's been too little said about his sister's long-cared son. We praise the foaming charger and we weave him into song, but bow about the humble beast that hauls the grub along? He snnkes lhP cannon over muddy field and road and is never known to whimper or complain about his load. In times of peace as well as war, Ihe mule is not a shirk, when Dobbin takes a balky spell it's Jasper does Ihe work. In many ways he proves himself much wiser than the sleed, he never takes an overdose of water or of feed, and should he chance to run away, when by ambition fired, he al ways makes his dash with rnre and stops before he is tired. 1 know' there is prejudice against this humble beast, but those who hold him in disdain are they that know his least. Investigate his record with a calm, unbiased mind, and you will find as I have found that he has been maligned. For even men who hold him up to scorn and ridicule, might learn a whole some lesson from the humble, patient mule. Albert Stroud.
