U. S. 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.

MARKET REPORT.
Kansas Cilv Stock Yards, Jan.'
25. 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.

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.
