to be disgrace, It will De done away

lister is disgrace to poorly paid,
Woodworking class. The writer once
asked railway man why ministers
got half-rates and was Informed that
their holy calling and influence for
good were recognized by the railway
management and because of that, the
courtesy was extended to all denomi-
nations alike. The writer was deeply
impressed with the generosity and dis
cernment as to agencies of good dis
covered by the railroads and felt that
he might have been little harsh in
his judgment of their motives. But
sad to relate the very next day he
found an example of ward politician
and one who controlled saloon votes
riding on a pass. Thus was the newly
made idol shattered. This made the
writer think that the wires must have
been crossed between the railway idea
of hell and heaven and that the man in

is not meant to be conveyed that all
men in public position who use passes
are dishonest-nor that they do not
rank well up among our citizenship,
but the writer does mean TO say that
few Of US realize what a blight is put
upon the finer sense of manhood by
passes. Small things make up the sum
of ones character, as minute forces
of nature build the rose upon the rose
bush, and the minute cutworm of the
pass can not enter the bud without
blasting it. In strict fact it Is a dis
honor to hold pass and an insult to
be offered one.
Suppose some enterprising reporter
for our daily journals would interview
the Nebraska executive officers, judges,
legislators and county officers regard
ing passes; interview them now and
then one year from now. You will find
not 10 per cent who will admit using
passes now, will admit it one year
later. When our public men feel it

anything about it because OF being

agement. This kind of business sense
shows that the minister is child and
there is something of divine justice in
his half-fare permit, after all. The
question is, is there scientific rem

ton of mans finer nature? The writer
claims there is, and will develop it
before these articles are finished.

The Chicago Record Herald, of Feb
rnary first, reports six members Of the
Illinois general assembly who refuse
railway passes. The remaining LAT
members ride on passes. The six mem
bers who refuse to be distinguished
with the railway badge are in disgrace,
and are no doubt referred to by those
who ride for nothing, as well as by
the railroad manager. as enemies Of
railroading. The average man is glad
to get pass and ii his social or Of

This is no wild dream, it is a simple
mathematical fact which is proven by
the statistical report compiled from
the railroads. sworn reports to the in
terstate commerce commission. From
the first year to the present, and the
average for all that time, notwith-
standing the recent raise in freight
rates, does not exceed cents per one

If any one will take the trouble to
study the interstate commerce statis-
tical reports they will find that in
1902, 1,200.315,787 tons of freight were
reported carried by all the roads of
the United States. The gross revenue
from that tonnage was $1,207 ,22S,S45.

words, slight revenue over $1.0O per

An Honorary Member.

E. l.. Bedell, who married Miss Ell
ia Lea, the first white child born in
Roswell, is perhaps the most "hono-
rary" Of all those who are members
by marriage of the Old Settlers So
ciety. He says the best part of him
was born in Roswell. He had not
lived here long, and had just made
up his mind that he didn't like the
country at all, when he met the
charming girl who is now his wife,
and decided at once to stay and set
tie down. OF course he did not tell
e his intentions Immediately, but
made up his mind to win the first
fair flower of human loneliness that
bloomed in the desert which the pio-
neers reclaimed. Mrs. Bedell is the
daughter of Capt. Joseph C. Lea,
now dead, who was the first mayor
of the city of Roswell, and the story
of whose life is SO interviewer in the
history of Roswell and the Pecos
Valley that the story of every old
settler bears some relation to that
Captain Lea. Nearly every impor-
tant incident of the early days
throws some new light on the charac
ter of the man whose memory all
delight to honor.
