PlIS RIGHT
Bryan Mikes His Position
Clear
W. J. Bryan has authorized the fol
lowing pre sentation of bis position on
tbo railroad question:
"Government control should be tried
under the most favorable conditio^ a: It
should be attempted conscientiously
and should exhaust every possibility.
It should not be Invoked by any one
who makes the wish father to the
thought that control will fail and that
ownership eventually must come to
pass. To whomever Is entrusted the
task of executing laws for such cootrol
he owes it to his na' ion to throw him
self vigorously and with honest en
deavor into the movement. Control
is much more desirable than ownership,
and if it will accomplish needed re
forms It is the ultimate result most to
be desired.
j "Rites should be b ised on the Rvalue
of the properties of the common car
riers. This value should be, not the
market value of the shares and bonds
on the .'stock exchange, because they
are sold In view of the possibility of
producing revenue, rather than of the
{ actual investment which has been laid
| out in building the system. Appraisal
should not legitimatize at par valuation
, existing flotations which contain a cer
tain proportion of water, but existing
stocks and bonds shou'd be dealt with
exactly according to their real intrin
sic value, and the water should be
squeezed therefrom.
"The law should then prevent further
watering of stocks ?o that rates may be
determined to permit a reasonable re
turn on actual investment."
Bryan doubts that government con
trol will prove to be adequate. He be
lieves that it will be necessary to give
tue people an honest attempt to solve
the transportation problems through
government control, because they are
disposed to believe that control will
eventually prove to be adequate. To
put into effect a system of government
ownership before control bad been
honestly tried would be to invest the
government with distrust In the hands
of the people, and any administration
whi<& were to do this would fail. Hon
estly tried, thoroughly administered,
intelligently wrought out. government
control, therefore, he thinks, should be
the present program.

"Antique Persian rugs," said the rug
talesman, "ate dyed with vegetable
dyes; the new ones are dyed with ani
line dyes. There's a great difference.
Vegetable dyes are fifty or sixty times
more expensive than anilines, and they
give a color that Is literally Imperish
able, a color that keeps growing richer
and richer till the rug fulls to pieces.
Anilines, made out of coal tar, look
well enough at first, but they fade.
When a vegetable red or blue would be
at its best an aniline red or blue would
be nearly white. We civilized people
harmed the Chinese by Introducing our
cheap opium among them, and now we
have equally harmed the Persian rug
by Introducing our cheap anilines
among the rug weavers."
FENCING OUT RATTLERS.
A Precaution of Animals That Man
I'w* to Adviintuge.
Did you ever bear of ? rattlesnake
fence? not one made of rattlesnakes,
of course not. tin! uue made of prickly
thorns to protect one from the rattlers
uud keep them nvvay? That la what
the Arlzoi .1 campers build, and the
only way to k-e!> these deadly poison
ers away It by building oue of these
fences of oktea, i shrub covered with
thorns which groivs on the desert
As the tents h: ve no doors and are
not set ninth above the ground, It
would appear easy for Mr. Battler to
effect an entrance. Imagine the sensa
tion of crawling into bed some cold
night to strike against the clammy
ekin of a snake, anr! this Is just where
Mr. Snake likes to snuggle, .In among
the warm blanUeis.
To avoid this n en who work in the
mines have found that a snake will
not go near this oktea, and they have
built closely knit f-iices around their
tents, with little gates to go in and
out, and be; id this t!:e rattler will
not penetrate. It was first the In
dians of the desert who discovered this
deadly shrub, and they got the secret
from birds and animals, which, to pro
tect their yc:: travel sometimes
many miles back and forth, bringing
the thorns with which to cover their
little nests. Gophers and other small
animals there cover their nests In this
manner.
It is striu: e that In that country, so
dry and forbidding, many things grow
in exuberance, and especially noticea
ble are the great lields of Brnwn Eyed
Susans, the yello v daisies with the
brown centers. They grow so high

It Is the short piece, be it letter or
editorial, that catches the reader, and
correspondents who wish their letters
to be read should never extend them
beyond a quarts:1 of a column, and half
that length is preferable. Condensa
tion Is an art, but it can be acquired
with a little practice. Never try to
see how long you can make your ar
ticle, but how short. Use never a
superfluous sentence or word. Be as
brief as an Intelligible statement of the
case will allow and you will have ten
readers where the long winded fellow
will have one.? Richmond Dispatch.

THANKS CUTICURA
FOR COMPLETE CURE
"Some time ago I wrote yoti for a

received it O. K. and went and bought
the Soap, Oint ment, and Pills. They aid
me more good than any medicine I ever
used. They cured me of my skin disease,
and I am very thankful to you. My
trouble was eruption of the skin, which
broke out in spots all over my body,
and caused a continual itching which
nearly drove me wild at times. I got
medicine of a doctor, but it did not cure
mo, and when I saw in a paper your
nd., I sent to you for the Cuticura book
and I studied my case in it. I then
went to the drug store and bought one
cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Cu
ticura Ointment, ana one vial of Cuti
cura Pills. From the first application
I received relief. I used the first set
and two extra cakes of Cuticura Soap,
and was completely cured. 1 had
