PUBLIC OWNERSHIP LEAGUE
(Continued from First Page)
orients advocates of government ownership
of all public utilities, ss the best means
iof solving the present problem before the
American people.
"Mr. Bryan has nothing to do with
this meeting. He tias not been consulted
In the matter at all. While It Is possible
that he amy b a direct beneficiary of the
movement It IS not Instituted In his Inter
est. All parties favoring the matter of
public ownership afe Invited to Join with
us regardless of former party affiliations.
It Is not for the purpose of the creation
of a new political party In any manner,
but Is" simply a- Iragne favoring the ac
quirement of public Utilities for the benefit
of the public.
I.enane Is Nonpartisan.
"The organization Is wholly nonpartisan.
We have received a number of letters from
all parts of the state, many of them from
republicans, who earnestly favor the move
ment. We shall at once proceed to the
organisation of public ownership clubs
throughout the state and will send or
ganizers out Into tho field. While the
movement relates generally to the owner
ship of all public utilities by the govern
ment, tonight's meeting will devote itself
to the question of government ownership
of railroads. The recent Investigations
held here In Omaha and elsewhere by the
Interstate Commerce commission have
shown that the only relief from railroad
dovnonatlon Is In publio ownership.
"The World-Herald Is not In favor of
government ownership."
This was the concise manner In which
Coagreseman-elect Hitchcock, editor of the
World-Herald, broke the attitude of his
paper to representatives of the ownership
league who called on him at his office to
ssk him what he proposed doing.
"We thought," said one of these repre
sentatives, "that the democratic organ of,
Nebraska would come out In favor of this
movement that Is, we wanted to know
whether It would or not. Do we know?
well, yes."

Defense of Land Withdrawals.
Glfford Plnchot, chief of the forest ser
vice, today approved a rough draft of a
report to the secretary ef agriculture re
lating to the 4,000,000 acres of land In In
dian territory, whose withdrawal for for
est reserve purposes brought about criti
cism of the sercetaries of the Interior and
agriculture by a senate committee. The re
port will be a defense of the withdrawal of
the lands, which are located In the Choc
taw and Cherokee nations, and will show,
first that the proposed forestry reserve
was asked for primarily by the Indians
themselves; second, that the maintenance
of a forest on the proposed area will fur
nish a much needed continuous supply of
timber and wood for local use and also pre
vent disastrous floods along 1.000 miles of
the Red river In Texas, Arkansas and
Louisiana, where Immense sums are now
expended for levees: third, that the forest
reserve would not take up all the residue
of lands after allotments to the Indians.
The report will further insist that the
secretary of the Interior's action In tem
porarily suspending allotments was ; not
only within his right, but that he would
have been remiss had he done otherwise.
As a result of careful Inspection by the
forestry bureau a .recommendation will be
made to the secretary of agriculture, who
Will undoubtedly transmit it to the secre
tary of the Interior, to the effect that the
area originally withdrawn can be reduced
one-half J)y leaving out ; the part In the
Cherokee nation and all the lands within
twenty miles of the Missouri, Kansas
Texas railway In the Choctaw nation. This
report, which it Is expected the secretary
of the Interior will make public,- will show
that considerably more than half the re
duced area Is valuable- for agriculture and
can be allotted 4o- .abaonear. iutuw , sfter

Abuses and Sot hy
Natural Causes.
NEW YORK, Doc. 27. The concentration
of wealth in the luinda of comparatively few
was vigorously denounced and earnestly
defended at the opening sessions today nl
the fifty-seventh annual meeting of the
American Association lor the Advancement
of Science.
Henry I-aurens Call . of . Washington, 13.
C. attacked the right of John U. Rocke
feller to Ilia fortune on the grounds that,
he asserted, it was not the result of nat
ural cuuses, but had been created through
corpurate activity which the speaker ternud
ficous." I
During a subsequent . dlscusflon of "The
Evolution of Property," Louis Q. Mcpher
son, assistant to the. late Samuel Spencer
as president of the Southern railway, re
plied to Mr. Call. He declared that Sir.
Rockefeller had had his financial struggle"
and had done much good which was gen
erally lost idsht of in the criticism which

which to cunstruct a pll line for oil. One
man who refused aid met the financier
when the pipe line had been laid. To him
Mr. Rockefeller said:
"I built that pipe line to make oil cheaper
and 1 succeeded. I cut the cost more than
half. And et they find fault." '

"I see now here," he said, "In either
ancient or modern times, a people who-e .
youth have been trained as our Americans j
should he trained. Neither Oreece nor
Rome, with their pinnacles of culture rest- '
lng on the barbarous foundation of human '
slavery, nor the blooded aristocracies of
modern times, can teach us how to educate, !
train and adorn an American cltisen. We
must not expect all our students to rule,
nor yet all to be ruled, to direct, nor
yet to be directed to employ or to be em
ployed. They must be capable of all
tneso inings. to narrow aim, no prejuuice
or caste, no false claim of high culture
which scorns service, must lead the grow
ing, expanding minds. Give them a gen
erous symmetrical training; open wide the
avenue to usefulness, to happiness, to
power, and this age of scientific progress
and material wealth shall be also an age
of high Intellectual and social achieve
ments." I
