PUBLIC OWNERSHIP AND POLI
TICS
Those who urge public ownership as
a pancea for all “the slings and ar
rows of outrageous fortune,” are play
ing the game of the politician to his
entire satisfaction. When the railroads
coal mines, and other great enterpris
es pass into the hands of the govern
ment the day of the politician will be
at hand. Think of the multitude of
jobs that will be available for the con
stituency of the politician, regardless
of the fact that those who seek pub
lic pereferment the most assiduously
are not those best qualified to fill the
positions. They are not of the num
ber who understand building, opera
tion of railroads, mining of coal, func
tioning of the reclamation service or
any of the enterprises that would
come to the government if the public
ownership theory should‘become firm
ly fixed upon the country. The only
construction work they carry on is in
the building of political fences. Rail
roading, as they understand it, con
sists of rushing pet bills of doubtful
merit through Congress. Coal mining
as they comprehend it, is to have the
miners come to the surface so that
they can be enlightened, by the poli
tician as to the good things in store
for them if they vote right, and the
only kind of irrigation they under
stand has nothing to do with the kind
that makes the soil productive. The
idea that to the victors belongs the
spoils still prevails in the country, and
government ownership means the en
terprises involved will be in the hands
of the politicians, the business divorc
ed from the quick brains and initia
tive 01 the former owners. The coun
try will lose a large number of its
most valued advisers and exemplars
under whose guidance the nation has
taken first place in the realms of in
dustry, commerce and finance. Private
enterprise that rewards those who de
velop resources must not be thwarted
by permitting the politician to exploit
the business, of the country—Ex.

by winner, Papyrus, will take his own
drinking water to America with him
on his forthcoming trip to meet the
best American three-year-old in a
match race at Belmont Park.
This decision was reached after an
alysis of a sample of water brought
from Belmont Park.
The veterinary surgeons decided
that while it -was of exceptional pur
itv, it was sufficiently different from
the water at Newmarket to make it
advisable to provide Papyrus with a
suitable supply of water.
