What the country would really like
to know from President Roosevelt or
some other eminent authority is this:
Since more than one-half of the cap
italization of the American railroads is
fictitious, and since on this fictitious
capitalization the public must furnish
the dividends and interest charges,
how large a proportion of the present
freight rates and passenger rates could
be scaled off if the capitalization were
real instead of fictitious?
To one not enlisted in a third-term
movement it would seem much more
important to answer this question
than to reassure Wall street at a time
when Wall street is doing quite well,
and when the only persons that need
reassuring are the tin-horn gamblers
that, securing an advance copy of the
president’s speech, use it to fleece
some unwary victims of their game.

Mr. Bryan Is the most conspicuous
figure in American politics today. He
is more —he is a World Figure. His
views on men and things are awaited
with interest in foreign countries as
well as at home. THE COMMONER
is his medium of communication with
the world; but it is more than a per
sonal organ, for it covers the whole
realm of political thought. Hence, no
one, whether a follower or an oppo
nent of Bryan’s doctrine, can fail to
be interested in the columns of this
famous paper.
