Wnere Tartars are massacreing the Ar

favor of the railroads. With the judic-
iary, believe it is rather different. II
were on the bench, 1 wouldn't have
a pass"
Wells Is an Editor.
State Auditor Seth Wells frankly ad-
nlits that he uses passes, but says he
has always done this since he has been
in the newspaper business.
Il sell the railroad company my ad-
vertising space for so much transporta-
ton; that's all there is to it. OF course
public officials get passes, but I don't
believe they do much harm.
Governor Hoch is also an editor, and
SO he can probably exchange his adver-
tisfng space for transportation. But 1t
is very doubtful whether there is any
railroad company which would make
fuss If the contract for advertising
space happened to be delayed in trans
mission.
H. c. Bowman, of the state board of
control, says that the members OF that
board do not get free passes. 1.-The leg
islature,'' he says, .allows us fund of
81. 800 to pay all our travelling expenses
while visiting state institutions. Eacn
member of the board must make an al
fidayit that he actually expends the
money before he can draw on this fund.
However, there is nothing in the law
which prohibits the giving of passes to
the members of the board. They can
use the passes while on their private
business.
state Treasurer Kelly and Secretary
of State Burrow, both have passes, and
can get all the passes for their friends
that they want And they are neither
editors or lawyers.
No Political Passes.
Governor Hoch's private secretary, r.
L. Williams, who is also Attorney Cen
eral Coleman's law partner said to-
day:
s'I have never obtained any political
transportation in my life, and would
not ask for it now. I am a member OF
the law firm which represents several
roads, however, and of course we have
passes over those roads.
"I do not believe that railroad passes
influence public official Their use has
become so common that 1t is almost a
matter of course. A public official who
is really high minded and conscientious
would, in my opinion, be rather inclined
against a railroad company because II
had given him pass.
However, on general principles, L
would be glad to see the use of passes
entirely discontinued"
Taylor Would Make 1t Felony.
Carr Taylor, attorney for the state
board of railroad commissioners, is
dead against the use of passes by pup
lie officials. Taylor can talk as ne
pleases, because the law says that the
railroads must carry the railroad COM
mossioners, their attorney, stenog-
rapher and all authorized agents, free
of charge.
.sThe use of free passes by politi-
clans, public officials, judges" ETC.,
said Mr.. Taylor, should be prohibited
by statute, and their use made q
felony. That's what I would like to
see. Then the public could get the
benefit of a 2-cent a mile rate. The
railroads figure that they don't lose
anything by giving passes, because
they charge cents, and only figure on
getting a little over 2 cents"

PAT GROVE IN LINCOLN

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 12.-Pat Grove,
wanted for kidnapping the little son of
Edward Cudahy, was in Lincoln yes
terday and talked for half an hour
with Richard Metcalfe, associate editor
of william J. Bryan's Commoner. He
disappeared just before the police
heard of his presence here. Grove en-
tered the Commoner Office while sew
eraI gentlemen who knew him were
there and asked to see MetcaHa alone
There is now no reward for him and
the police can only arrest him on a
charge of vagrancy.

Around the plain board bar that keeps

and belong to the class known as drink

contain red pop, but that row of bottles
remains undisturbed and the refresh

the lee chest which sits a little farther
pack. These bottles are without labels.
The labels are carefully washed off be-
fore the beverage is placed before the

that these bottles are taken from cases
which bear the stencil mark of a KAN

The threat of withdrawing Pacific

Panama route alone. Since the Gov

the isthmian railway it has not pro

Pacific Mail Company long had with

the company must deal with the

to all its citizens.
The position of the Pacific Mail is
stated as follows:
Mr.. Schwerin contends that the Pa

at a profit solely on San Francisco

business from the Mexican and Gem
trail American coasts to make up the
loss it suffers from the handling OF
San Francisco traffic, and that it will

Mexican and Central American bust

ship companies. In other words. Mr. !
