Read What Others Say
What the commoner Says

George w. Berge, of Lincoln. editor and
publisher of the Nebraska Independent
and fusion candidate for governor in 1904,
has published a book entitled THE Free
Pass Bribery System The book contains
editorials from the Independent and ex-
tracts from speeches and letters by Mr..
Berge during the past two or three years.
Mr.. Berge deals with the pass bribery evil
in plain language, and points out with I'M
erring precision the evils that follow in
the train of this form of political corrup-
ton He is not content with showing how
politics is corrupted, but shows beyond
dispute the demoraliZing effect upon the
great masses of the people. Railroad
methods are exposed in scathing terms.
Mr.. Berge made his campaign for gov
ernor upon the railroad pass issue and
the fact that he ran many thousands
ahead of his ticket shows in a measure
the deep interest the people of Nebraska
are taking in this phase of the railroad
problem. "The Free Pass Bribery Sys-
tenn" is valuable contribution to current
political discussion and should have a
wide circulation among those who are in
terested in making the railroads the serv-
ants, rather than the masters, of the
people

1.-THE Free Pass Bribery System is u
book of Nebraska production from the
press of The Independent Publishing Com
pany of Lincoln. and consists of various
addresses, newspaper editorials and chap
ters in vigorous denunciation of the free
pass evil. The author is George w. Berge,
a lawyer of Lincoln, and editor of The IN
dependent newspaper who ran for gov
ernor of the state in 1904 on the fusion
ticket. Mr.. Berge speaks strongly, and his
handling of the politicians who accept
these little brides is scathing as it ought
to be. 1t is his opinion that the people
will never secure through their legislative
agencies an effective control of the rail-
roads as long as the free pass control of
politicians is tolerated.

Nacbinints mt Work


 The Southern Railway night before last imported into the city from the North about twenty-two machinlsts to take the place of the union nlachinists who walked out on a strike about three weeks ago.
 The imported men went to work about noon yesterday and will con tinue at work until the difference be tween the machjnists and the railroad has been adjusted. Some time ago. or. immediately after the machinists walked out of the shops here the Southern Railway had switch ed upon side track near the shop gates a number of cars, These cars were fitted ID with hunks and steam heat and the strike breakers are housed in them. Another car was fixed uI for a kitchen and large range and quantity of provisions were pu:- chased and awaited the arrival of the non union men.
 While it had been rumored ever since the strike was inaugurated that the railroad would import men here to take the place of the strikers, .ie actual fact that the men had been sent here to take their places came as quite a hlow 10 the friends of the mon who are out.
 The engines of the entire system are said to be in bad condition. and this
