LEWIS TALKS ABOUT PASSES.
Senator From Page Says That He
Found Quid Pro Quo Attachment.

Special TO Times ReDubllcan
Clarinda, Oct. Ex-senator Lewis,
having noticed clipping in the Reg
lister and Leader taken from the Cedar
Falls Record, has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the Des Moines paper:
editor Register and Leader: l no.
tice the following in your issue OF the
9th instant:
"'Cedar Falls Record: Will Senator
Lewis take the stand and tell an anx-
ious public whether, during all the
wears he has served as a legislator,
his vote on any particular measure
was in any respect influenced by the
presence of pass in his pocket? Let's
have some direct evidence from those
who have been riding on free passes.
Theorizing and moralizing on anything
of this kind is not half as useful just
now as some persoi Al testimony
81 do not ordinarily answer my rail-
way newspaper critics nor have | pa
raded my personal affairs before the
public, but the Record asks a reason
able question and will reply, as my
answer must necessarily shed addi-
tional light upon the motives of the
railways in giving passes to the leg
islators.
At the age of 81 was elected to the
house and received my annual pass
over the railway passing through my
home town. l felt then that it was a
mark of personal courtesy and did not
know there was quid pro quo attach
ment to the gift.
I'm my first session made a small
ILL., ,fa hill
directing the Iowa railway commits
sioners to make schedules of reason
able rates of charges which
shall be taken as prima facie evidence
in all courts that the rates fixed there
in are reasonable and just" The bill
passed and has ever since been the law
of Iowa, by the way, it is far more
drastic law than is asked of congress
by President Roosevelt.
MY action seems never to have
been forgotten or forgiven by the gem
eral solicitors of Iowa railways, for it
put an end to their sending me passes
now for seventeen years, during eleven
years of which have been member
of the general assembly. ! have not
complained of their action from that
day to this and would not now men
ton this personal experience except
for the publicity given the Records
inquiry, so that it will not do now to
charge that l am actuated by desire
to get even with the railways, or to air
a personal grievance for not having
passes. AS a legislator l do not want
them, and whsn my term Of office ex-
pires / know. could not get them If
l should want them. L. w. LEWIS"

Des Moines, Oct. 12-The publica-
ton of Senator Lewis letter in which
he told Of having been given railroad
pass the first time he entered the leg
islature, but of having been denied one
ever since he voted for the railroad
commission bill, has revived political
comment Of the proposed anti-pass
law. The general attorney for one of
the smaller roads in Iowa EXPRESSED
himself in an exceedingly frank and
most surprising manner on this sub
ject.
The trouble is" said he, "Mr.
Blythe has been getting all the credit
out of this pass business and we have
been putting up the passes. Every
once in a while l will get letter from
him saying that so-and-so is rather
weak on our bill. but he would like
transportation over your road, please
send me a mileage book and I'll see
that it is used to good purpose; and I
have sent the books right along to Mr..
Blythe, but the fellow who got it owed
his thanks to Mr.. Blythe. He didn't
know we were on EARTH
This thing is going to stop, and we
are glad of it," continued the railroad
man.
II am opposed to giving passes TIC
public officials upon principle, altho
have been compelled by custom to give
great many of them"
Suppose 1 We're trying case for
your newspaper" he said to a news
paper man present, "and suppose
should go to the judge and say Now,
your honor, this newspaper is greatly
interested in you and would like to
extend a complimentary subscription
as long as you remain on the bench.
We do not expect favor from you. but
just do this as a courtesy. What
would the Judge think? Then suppose
should offer another complimentary
subscription to the judges brother-in-
law, the sheriff. the county clerk and
all the court house officials. Then
suppose should see that all the jury
men drawn or likely to be drawn Sc
cure a free subscription to your paper,
do you suppose that you and I would
do these things If we did not expect
something in return? A railroad is a
business enterprise and should meet
the public as such. Bribing with pass
es should be stopped for bribing it is.
and nothing more" :
do many of the other railroad at
torneys feel as you do?" was asked OF
this railroad man, and he replied:
Some of them do. don't believe that
you will find any opposition to an anti
pass BILL
But Blythe doesn't favor it, does
he?" was the next question. mo; an
anti-pass bill would leave Sampson
shorn of his locks, but how can be OPP
pose it? On what grounds can a rail-
road oppose an anti pass law?" was
the reply, and the conversation turned
to rate regulation by the interstate
commerce committion when this same
RAILROAD attorney was sure there were
no ten men in congress competent to
legislate intelligently upon so compli-
Gated business problem.

River, Mimi, (which caused my babe
untold suffering and myself many
sleepless nights. Ny babe was born
seemingly fair, healthy child, but
when she was three weeks old SWELL
ing appeared on the back of her head,
and in course of time broke. 1t did
not heal but grew worse, and the sore
spread from the size of dime to that
of dollar. I used all kinds of rene
dies that could think of, but nothing
seemed to help; in fact, it grew worse.
Her hair fell out where the sore was,
and I feared It would never grow again.
Itcontinced until my aged father came
on visit, and when he saw the baby
he told me to get Cuticura Soap and
Ointment right away.
"To please him did so, and to nv
surprise by their use the sore began to
heal over, the hair grew over it, and
to-day she has q nice head of hair, her
skin is as fair as lily, and she has no

it is over eight months and no sign of
