George W. Berge.

Madison, Neb., Sc 1T. 2.-To the
Editor of the World-Herald:-
George W. Berge, our candidate
for governor, has every essential
qualification for the position. He
has the requisite age, maturity Of
judgment and character. which,
supplemented by wide reading, ex-
perience and natural aptitude for
public life, makes him an ideal
candidate.
While Mr.. Berge's views are
pronounced they are in the right
direction. and he is conservative
and cautious witl,al. He would
not hesitate to do right and could
not be cajoled or forced into doing
wrong. l have no doubt that his
election would result in great benc-
fit to the people, and that the cor
porations would be brought under
proper subsection, while their right
full interests would be preserved,
and just equilibrium between
corporate rights and the rights of
the public would be maintained.
certainly highly esteem Mr..
Berge and his eminent qualifica-
tions for the office and shall do all
that may be within my power to
bring about his election.

year after year, there comes time
when the citizen must join his
force with that of other citizens to
destroy the bribery system or else
subside into the attitude of mere
serf and forever hold his peace.
The privilege of merely voting
at the polls after the candidates
have been named by railroads
through the free pass machine is
an honor so empty, so devoid of
honor, as to be unworthy of a self
respecting man. A slave is will
ing to be counted along with his
master, but a man wants to be
counted for himself.
There is no pretense on the part
of the republican press of the state
that the republican state ticket now
before the Nebraska voters was
created by any other influence than
that of the railroads. Before the
convention the republican news
papers openly discussed and point
ed out how this candidate was be-

railroad influence, and how that
candidate was being brought out
by such and such other railroad in
fuence and there was no claim
made by the republican press, no
information published to show that
there was any potent influence ex-
erted by the people, or any other
influence counted or considered
except the influence of the corpor-
atoms. After the state ticket had
been named, the republican news
papers continued for several days
to discuss the victories and defeats
Of the various railroad influences
and the republican voters, espec-
tally those who read the republi-
can dailies, cannot deny that they
were and are fully advised, that
the action of their state convention
was simply composite result of
railroad influences contending
against each other. It is unneces-
sary to produce any elaborate
proof of this more than to refer to
what is still fresh in the public
mind. 1t is universally UNDER
stood that the republican conven-
tons are and have been for years
merely trials of strength between
the various railroad influences of
the state. 1t is likewise universal
ly understood and admitted that
the railroads procure the control
which they exert, through the free
pass organization. Now if the re-
publican voters are sensitive
enough to their rights as citizens
to resent the intrusion of this
usurped coutrol and desire to throw
it off, they must first destroy the
free pass organization, the medium
| through which the railroads have
obtained such unbridled sway. It
will require two departments of
the state government, the legisla-
tive and the executive, to make an
anti pass law. The voters can
elect an anti pass legislature and
an anti pass governor. They can
do this. The fusion candidate for
governor has never been part of
the free pass machine. He has
kept aloof from it's influence. He
believes that the destruction of the
free pass system is the paramount
issue now before the Nebraska
people. No other reform can be
considered until this is accomplish
ed. No just revenue law, no freight
rate law, no anti-lobby law, no law
curtailing the power of the eleva-
tor trust, no law nor system of
economy or betterment Of public
affairs can be'put into the statutes
of this state until the power which
opposes such laws is dethroned.
Nebraska people are not so fanati-
cal or so unjust as to desire. an an
ti-railroad government. They do
not want state government that
is actually hostile toward railroads
but they want state government
that is hostile toward railroad con-
troll. In order to set up such
government at the state capital,
they must elect a governor and
legislature that is opposed to the
free pass system, opposed to it
enough to pass law that will de-
stroy it. Nebraska people have
talked against the free pass system
for a quarter of a century, but
with all this talk against it the free
pass organization has become more
powerful and more insolent each
year. Whatever orators or news
papers may say, the real and vital
issue in this Nebraska campaign is
to overthrow railroad control and
remove the seat Of government
from Omaha to the state capital at
Lincoln.

Valentine People Awaiting
Chaffee Report With Interest

, Norfolk, Neb., Sept. IS. There
is CONSERVATION in the air around
the military post situated at Fl.
NlObrara, Neb.. just now. 1t has
arisen because the war department.
it is said, has been considering
change which would abolish the
Niobrara post and establish anoth-
er in some other state. People
from states which have few or no
military posts are alleged to have
petitioned the government to make
the change and as result of that
plea, Gen. Chaffee himself very
recently visited the point.
Upon the report of Gen. Chaffee
in the Washington Office, depends
the ultimate outcome of the situa-
ton. Upon that report depends
the permanency of Fl. Niobrara or
its abandonment. Therefore, the
report is awaited with intense eag-
erness upon the part of the people
around the post and the business
men of Valentine, the little city
just at the edge of the government
reservation. From the officers and
soldiers Valentine gets about
$4,000 of spending money every
month in the year.
There are two other posts in Ne
braska, Forts Crook and Robinson,
one located near Omaha and the
other near Crawford, in the west
ern edge of the state. Both of
these are permanent, with brick
dwellings. Fort Niobrara is old
and not in very good shape. A few
states have no forts at all. Wis
consin is one. There is jealousy
because Nebraska has three. But
it is pointed out that Nebraska
needs three because of the Indians
and the thinly populated districts
adjacent.
The reservation upon which is
located Fort Niobrara is the larg-
est military tract in the United
States today. It is so big that two
big armies can line up, twelve
miles apart, and still be on federal
ground. 1t affords the finest OPP
portunity in this country for mil
tary maneuyers.
Referring to the above dispatch
Chief Clerk Harm of the adjutant
generals office of the department
Of the Missouri said this morning
that a year and half ago a gen.
eral board of officers recommended
that Fort Niobrara be abandoned,
together with Fort Reno in Indian
territory.
1--WE have been several times
advised that the fort is to be aband- |
oned in pursuance to the recon-
mendation," he said, land think
it will be done within the year.
The reservation will then be turn
ed over to the interior department. |
1t has been impossible up to this
time to do this because no new
forts have been established to |
which the forces at Fort Niobrara |
could be transferred, but fort is
now in process of erection close to
Indianapolis. "-World- Herald.

LINCOLN LETTER.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. IS, 1904.
What are the issues in this state
campaign! Is it contest between
the republican voters and the fus-
ion voters? No. There is no issue
between the republican and fusion
voters. The contest is between
the people and the railroads. The
railroads are in control of the state
government and the people want
to get this control back into their
hands. The railroads now dictate
everything that is done at the state
house and in the legislature. The
railroads have in this state one of
the most powerful and effective
organizations ever known in the
history of the government. They
have been carefully building up
and perfectihg this organization
for twenty-five years. 1t is now
as potent to control this state as
Tammany is to control New York
City. The railroads have built up
their organization around the free
pass system. Their plan is to keep
a few influential men in each coun-
ty under Their control by means of
the free pass system and through
these procure control over public
affairs. They have been working
on this system so long that they
have developed it into a very ef-
fective political machine.
The railroads maintain this free
pass machine and the political con-
troll which they procure through it,
for the purpose Of holding securely
high freight rates and low taxation
for the railroads. The high freight
rates that prevail in Nebraska have
become a sore grievance to the
shippers and producers who pay
the freight charges. The high
taxes paid by the people and the
low tax paid by the railroad cor
porations are also standing griev-
ance to the tax payers. This high
freight rate system and this un-
equal tax system are forced on the
people of Nebraska by the rail-
roads through the free pass sys-
tenn. The free pass holders, Or
gained into a political organiza-
ton, with local bosses controlling
each county and town, and these
local bosses working in harmony
with each other under the direction
of the railroad headquarters at
Omaha, makes Omaha the seat of
government and gives Nebraska
government by railroads. To de-
stroy this government by railroads
is the real and vital issue in this
campaign.
Unequal taxation is an injustice.
Extortionate freight charges are
an injustice.
But these are mere matter of
dollars. There is sentiment that
outweighs tax money or freight
money. If man is citizen un-
der the constitution he wants to
feel that his citizenship is counted.
If it's government by the people in
theory, he wants it to be governed
by the people in fact. 1t is an Of
Tense to self respect when the citi-
zen finds the sharp practice of rail
road cappers operating between
him and his ballot. When the
railroads are able to bride with an
nual free passes a few leading men
in each town and procure through
these men control of public affairs
and when this bribery system and
this procured control continues
year after year, there comes time
when the citizen must join his
force with that of other citizens to
destroy the bribery system or else

Free School Books.

II should not be forgotten by
the voters at the November cleo
tion that an amendment to the
state constitution providing for
free text books for the children Is
to be voted upon. This amend-
mcnt provides that a tax Of Ave
cents on the hundred dollars shall
be levied for the purpose OF pur-
chasing the necessary books for
the public schools, so that all
children, rich or poor, will be
given an equal chance for an
education. II will result in an
immense saving and annoyance
to the people, and all citizens
should vote one way or the other.
Remember that II you fail to vote
for the amendment you are count
ed against L.. AS state superin-
tendcnt Darlington well says: "1f
the state furnishes free teachers
free shelter, free furniture, free
fuel, free apparatus. 1t should
furnish books free, for they are
just NJ necessary to progress.

ings and si.25 for incidentals aud

which much OF the expenditures Is

to the unfortunate. Il saves poor
men - for every dollar II collects
from corporations. No child will
be kept out of school because it,
parents can not or will not buy

Rev. ryrrcii on Folk.

The Rev. Frank Tyrrell, the
leading clergyman ofthc Christia n
church denomination In st. Louis.
who "a conspicuous as an advo-
cate ~ Joseph W. Folks nomina-
ton for governor, and In the early
part OF the campaign made
speeches for the Democratic state
ticket. has suddenly discovered
the error of his ways and now de-
nounccs Folk n n hypocritc who
obtained the nomination under
false prctcnscs aud whose election
would lee but the continuance OF
the state ring In power. Mr.. Tyr
rcll was heartily In favor Of Folk,
81 long as he conscicntiously be-
licvcd that Folk was in earnest In
his reform protcstations; but when
Folk named Harry Halves, the
machine tool, as his campaign
manager In st. Louis, II became
evident to Mr.. Tyrrell, as to every
other thinking man, that the
charges Of Folks scll-out to the
machine were well founded.
Mr.. Tyrrcll was the leader In the
movement which eliminated In
the protest signed by iorty-iyc
clergymen OF St.ILouis against the
machine primaries which elected
Halves delegations to the demo-
cratic state conventions. He and
the other ministers OF the gospel
thought, at that time, that Folk
represented the anti-machine
democrats aud. for that reason,
they supported him. Since Felix's
nomination however, they have
seen the democratic candidate
take men like Halves and Seibcrt
into his confidence aud realize
that, with such political cham
pions. Folks candidacy can be
construed but n way and this is
AS the candidacy OF the old
state ring under a new name.
