The Pamir, or Bam-i-Douniah, is COM
monty called the Roof of the World
From it radiate the mighty chains of the
Than Shan, Of the Kuen Lun, Of the
Kara Korum. of the Himalaya, of the
Hindoo Koosh. This geographic system,
four hundred kilometers across, which
remained for SO many years an impassa-
BILE barrier, has been surmounted by Rus
sian tenacity. The Slav race and the
yellow race have come into contact.
The travellers of the Aryan people have
all attempted to explore the plateau of
the Pamir. Without going back ia

ceeds three thousand meters; we know
that it is dominated by the peaks of
Gouroundi and Kaufman. twenty-five
thousand feet high, and the peak of Ia

feet; we know that it sends off to the
west the Oxus and the Amou-Radia, and

Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1905-03-16

In the house of the state legis.
lation Tuesday, all the anti-pass
bills were postponed by vote
of 43 to 40. The test vote was
upon H. r. No. 354, the bill in
troduced by Harmon, which is
said to be the only bill on anti
pass legislation introduced, in
the house this season by repub-
lican. We are a little surprised
that any republican in the house
voted against the Harmon bill
after reading J. H. Ayers inter
view in the State Journal on the
pass question.
1t has generally been known
that members of the Legislature
has been provided with passes by
the railroads, as a matter of cour-
tesy. 1t was generally known
that this Legislature was no ex-
ception in that particular.
But after Mr.. Ager publicly
denounced Mr.. Ernest for taking
issue against the railroad lobby,
when he was beneficiary of the
road, giving the number and date
of his pass, every member of the
Legislature should have voted for
the anti-pass bill and then re-
turned their passes to the roads
issuing them with polite state
ment they could not be bribed
into submission with a railroad
pass. AS it now stands their
vote recorded against the bill they
are compelled to rest under the
stigma of selling out for a mess
of pottage, no matter how good
may have been their reasons for
voting against the bill.
1t was the fragrant and high
handed use of railroad passes that
did much to defeat the popu-
list party when in power in this
state and the member who voted
against that bill with railroad
pass in his pocket can rest as
sured that his constituents will
remember it against him II
may be all right to adopt, Van
wyck's theory of 'foraging off the
enemy, but it will never pay tc
forage off of the enemy, at the
expense of your constituents or al

dependence.

If legislative advices from Lin
coin are correct it is up to the
railroad committee of the house
to fish or cut bait. The members
of that committee are:
Roberts of Dodge.
Fishback of Clay.
Windham of Cass.
Junkin of Gosper.
Bartoo of Valley.
Atwood of Seward.
Bacon Of Dawson.
Hill of Hitchcock.
Holliett of Lascaster.
Tucker of Douglas.
Rohrer and Stetson of Saline.
Meradith of York.
Smith of Burt.
Copsey of Custer.
There is growing belief that
the above gentlemen OF the COM
mittee or large portion of them,
and especially the chairman, are
disposed to smother the proposed
rate reduction measures. But
there can not be any escaping the
responsibility of that committee.
The members must either fish or
cut bait" They must choose
this day whom they will serve,
the people or the corporations of
Nebraska.
They will be known by their
fruits and the republican party
of this state will of necessity, even
though in shame and humiliation,
have to stand good for betrayal
of trust.
Gentlemen of the committee, it
is up to you!-Kearney Hub.

nation, but to notify the rest of
the members that unless they re-
main safely in the corporation
camp, doing any stunts that may
be required, their names will be
published with the numbers of
their ANIMALS and a detailed state
ment of the trip passes they have
been denied.
Now, gentlemen of the legisla-
ture, how brave and independent
do you feel with these passes in
your pocket, and out in the lobby
a man watching you who will not
hesitate to publish the number of
your annual on the moment your
actions do not please his masters2

1t is a matter of common no.

now let a single member make a
sign of the sickening disgust
that must come over a good man
when he begins to realize the
helplessness of the Legislature in
the clutches of the lobby, and
the agent who gave the pass will
publish him to the world as the
bensfciary of corporation favors.

Dewitt county, who heard the
famous utterance. He declares
that Lincoln made the remark
during a speech in Dewitt coun-
ty, in 1853, in reply to one deliv-
ed by Stephen A. Douglas, who
spoke at the same place in the
morning. There was a large
concourse of people assembled.
The weather being warm, the
speaking was outdoors, Lincoln
mounting dry goods box on the
north side OF the court house.
In the course of his address he
uttered these words: Judge
Douglas cannot fool the people;
you may fool people for a time;
you can fool part of the people
all the time, but you can't fool all
the people all of the time" 1t
was this utterance which has
been in dispute. historians of
Lincoln credit the saying to p.
I. Barnum, the great Snowman.
Mr.. Campbell, however, distinctly
remembers Lincoln using the re-
mark, and says that it was new to
the people"
