MEXICO TO TAKE RAILROADS
The republic of Mexico will hjye
government ownership and operation
of railroads. All of ^the great trunk
lines in that country are being taken
over by the federal government, When
:hey shall have become the property of
;he government and the management
well established it is proposed
to take over the branch lines and local
roads. The plan is to have every mile
of railroad in the nation nationalized
wuhio a decade. The street railways,
telegraphs, telephones, water systems
etc. are also marked for public
ownership. j
This work can be done readily in
Mexico for the reason that no franchise
or concession has been granted to a
railroad or other public service corpo
ration in that country that does not con
tain a clause that ,t can become public
property at the option of the govern
meu:. There are no vested rights that
will keep courts busy for several de
cades after the people have voted for
public ownership.
There has been no opportunity given
the corporations of Mexico to do as the
public service corporations are doing in
t hicago. The people of the last named
city have vowd for municipal owner
ship on several occassions. The fran
ch.*e holders have, however, appealed
to the courts to protect their -'vested
rights." They propose to keep the
.. aestion at issue long enougn to disgust
?he people, whom they hope to induce to
reverse their former verdict. Let the
sec .ire the administration once and they
will ,ntr?nch themselves so that they
can stand the people oil for another
prolonged attack. If they can carry one
election and get a city administration
thai is subservient to their interests
once in 10 or 15 years they hope to re
tain their railways and other franchises
forever.

POWER OF THE PRESS
< ommentine upon the "power of the I
Press, Henry Watterson says the
litor of an influential daily ^newspaper
if he will refrain from being a candi
date for office or a desire to personally
protit in politic*, himself, cm break
any public man in his state if the man
s no: what a public man should be.
Col. Watterson speaks truly, but his
definition of the "power of the Press"*
is not '.hat which many careless pub
!i>her> and editors understand it to be.
He would have it known that a news
paper is powerful only when it speaks
'.he truth: that it can whip sham: that
it can discover fraud: that it can
annihilate wrong doing, but that it
cannot, for very long, make any of
these successful.
[Experience justifies the limitation
which the great editor places upon the
power of those who follow his pro
fession. There is but one weapon
wth which an editor is all powerful
and that is TRUTH. The innuence of
a nf-w^paoer man depends upon the dil
igence and disinteresedness with which
he handles this weapon.
1'oliticians have often said that in a
rtpuSiic newspapers make and unmake
men. That is true in part only. Men
are.'ruade ana unmade by themselves and
:he public. The newspapers give pub
licity to the man. The public accepts
him. if he makes good be is a "made
man." If he shall act ia such a way
that the telling of the truth about his
actions prove him to by a sham, a fraud,
a self-seeker or a tool of others more
able than himself, the people will
unmake him as soon as the newspapers ;
place them in possession of the truth, j
The work of the newspaper is to)
make the facts kown to the peope. The
paper that does that fearlessly and
accurately and constantly is powerful.
With the Kamona and the Jefferson
added to the Southeastern fleet there
will be no cause to complain of our
mail service. By the first of next
month it will be a rare thing not to
have mail twice a week. Usually it
will be uftener.
The W ashington state legislature is
up against the ring again. This time
it Is a primary reform law that is the
mnWi j. i a?
bone of contention. Primary reform
would give the masses an opportunity
to unhorse the bosses.
A Colorado legislature without a sen
sation is unthinkable. The thanks of
all conservative, precedent-following
people ate due Senator Crowley for
providing the necessary article.
That ''oold wave" ou Puget Sound
with the thermometer at "10 above"
fails to elicit the sympathy for the suf
ferers that they feel they are entitled
to.
The Washington state political bosses
are wondering how tbey [can keep the
platform promise to give primary re
form and hold their places as bosses,
