caucuses conventions and at the polls.
Our government is a popular govern
ment resting upon the will of the gov
erned. Theirs is a despotism rest
ing upon guns and bayonets. Every
trait of character exhibited by the rul-
ing classes of Russia is exhibited by
the industrial despots of our own coun-
try. The conditions and methods are
different, but the human natue in both
cases is the same. The God Amounted
czar has his counterpart in the self
Amounted political boss and his petty
cabinet who brazenly ask free people
to wear party badge in token of
their humility and intellectual slavery.
The acts of the car and his support
ers in Russia in governing and plum
dering their subjects finds a counter
part in the political acts of the Hop
kinses and Sullivans of Illinois, as was
eloquently portrayed by Mr.. Bryan at
St Louis In 1904, and against which
he now feels it to be his duty to wage
a war of determination in order to
demonstrate his worthiness to be ele-
waited to first place in a peoples gov
eminent.

Our battle must be fought out on
boss must be dethroned. The corpor-
alton tool in politics must be driven
to the rear. Fortunately, we have eX-
perience for our guide. The exper-
fences of ages are crystalized in words
of wisdom to admonish us against the
wiles Of the cunning We are warned
against the smooth deceivers who are
all things to all men," who bark with
the hounds and run with the hares."
We have the authority of holy scrip
ture to the effect that "he who is not
for me is against me-" In the politi-
cal contest that is approaching in Ne
braska the question involved is shall
we permit the railroads and their
allies to continue their plumber of our
selves and our families, or shall we de-
| fend ourselves and our homes as an
intelligent free men should do?
We will go through the form of de-
claring our will in conventions and of
choosing men to execute that will. The
declarations of parties are idle if the
men selected to execute the will of the
people are not in full sympathy with
the purposes of the people.
There can be no sane act without
a motive. The railroads are not pub
lie charities. They have a motive in
giving out free passes over their lines.
| These passes are things of value and
are not given away for nothing. The
man who seeks and receives a pass
also has a motive. The receivers of
railroad passes cannot be trusted in
our politics. When the flocks of sheep
can be safely trusted to the keeping
of the wolves, our politics can be
trusted to pass holders, and not be
fore.
The free railroad pass is the insid
ious bribe that does the deadly work
of the railroads in our politics. Men
are not honest or dishonest because
of being either republicans or demo

Warning in Arizona

The Phoenix Enterprise Jays tha'
open warfare may follow between thu
Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific
for supremacy in Phoenix as the re
suit of the Santa Fe's action in build
ing a spur In the southwestern part
uf the city under cover of darkness
on Wednesday night.
Though Santa Fc officials deny
that they are swaycd by any such
purpose people believe that thei'
construction of the spur in the night
time has been for the purpose OF
blocking the entrance Of the South
ern Pacific to that city with its main
line.
Recently the city council rescinded
an ordinance passed in Decembe,
1904. which gave the Santa Fe, Pres
colt & Phoenix road the right to ex
tend a spur from their line in the
western part of the city.
Representatives of the Southern
Pacific asked the council to take this
action. claiming that the building OF
the spur by the Santa Fe would
greatly interfere with their entrance
to Phoenix.
Before the resembling order could
60 into effect the Santa Fe has built
the snur. and now stands as a barri>I
to the Southern Pacific.

NEGROES WANT ANNEX TO FAIR
cession at the jamestown
Exposition.

WASHINGTON. d. c., July 4.-The
meeting of the Negro Young Peoples
Christian and Educational congress,
which was to have opened here today,
has been postponed until the end of
the month and it is expected that 1T
will draw a large attendance from all
parts of the country, particularly, of
course, the south. This congress had
it's first meeting in Atlanta about two
years ago. 1t was then pronounced as
the largest convention of negroes that
had ever assembled in this country. 1t
is a non- denominational congress. The
Rev. DR.. Bowen, Bishsp Gaines and
Prof. l. Garland Penn of Atlanta, Ga,
are among the leading spirits of this
convention. There were more than 25,-
900 delegates and visitors in attendance
at Atlanta and it is expected that there
will be fully 10000 in attendance wh0n
the congress meets on the last day of
this month. An effort will be made to
secure the concession for an Afro
American annex to the proposed
jamestown exposition.
