PERSONALITIES VERSUS POLIT.
ICAL PARTIES

Two great personalities loom up
above all others in our politics-that
of Roosevelt and Bryan. A session
Of congress has just closed that is
distinguished from any other in our
history as a session devoted to as
sorting the supremacy of the people
over capalistic combinations and in
dividuals occupying certain relations
to the public, by placing them under
regulation and restrictions necessary
to justice and the public good
In all fairness it must be adj
mitted that much good has been
accomplished, and the individual
is wanting in patriotism who
does not rejoice in the progressive
steps that have been taken and in
the good work that has been done.
There are none SO lacking in in
telligence as not to know that the
credit for what has been done be-
longs to Theodore Roosevelt, presi-
dent of the United States. He has not
done all that he might have done
He has disappointed the people by his
shortcomings in ways that are gre
vious, but only because he has under
taken to do good things that were
not expected of him, Or of his party,
and then failed to meet in full meas
ure the expectations that were kindled
in the minds of the people by his
own acts. 1t is known of all men
that the president did not have the
full sympathy of an individual mem
Der of his own political household,
and it is doubtful if there were a
half dozen republican members of
both houses Of congress in accord

A WARNING

The railroads of Nebraska are MAX
ing the fight of their lives to retain
their grip on the state government as
the means of continuing to collect ex-
tortionate freight and passenger rates,
and to escape just taxation. The
Eastern capitalists who own the roads
are railroading in Nebraska for what
there is in it. Their political agents
are required to show results for the
princely salaries they are paid. Their
work In the past has been done with
consummate skill and their positions
and incomes are at stake in the con-
test that is now approaching. Results
are what are demanded of them by
their employers, and to secure such
they are putting forth strenuous eff
forts.
The railroads know no political
principles aside from earnings and
dividends. They employ tools to work
upon the political bias of their vic
tins and thus disguise their hands,
in order to secure maximum results
with minimum outlay The railroad
political agents are neither republi
cans nor democrats other than for
railroad purposes, and are both, in
proportion as it serves their ends to
be such. But, they have in both po-
litical parties agents and tools who
do their bidding with the utmost SER
Witty and feast upon the crumbs from
their masters tables with canine
relish.
Whatever there may be of terror
to the railroads in the opposition that
is manifesting itself againct them in
the republican party is due to the
dread of it's effects in the future,
rather tan in the present, because the
OPPOSITION in that party has not yet
developed leadership that need give
them any concern. 1t is true that
Senator Sheldon fired one shot that
was ringer and Immediately after
wards sank from the public view,
while the scattering shots of Norris
Brown. are too indefinite and mean
ingless to do him any good or the
railroads any harm. To the exper-
fenced observer it is evident that the
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-07-12


cerned, and for the present at least
apprehend no serious trouble from that
quarter.
But, with the democrats the case is
different and is causing the railroad
political agents no end Of trouble. All
would be smooth sailing with them
If it were not for the candidacy of
George W. Berge for the governor
ship. The marvellous powers as
campaigner demonstrated by Mr..
Berge two years ago, when practically
single handed and alone, when the
democratic leaders generally preferred
the security of their cyclone cellars
to the exposure to the political ele
ments. he divided the attention of the
state with the Roosevelt tidal wave
and received 102,568 votes against 81
876 for the democratic candidate for
presidency, warns the railroad polit-
icai agents that the candidacy of Mr.
Berge is the only real menace to the
interests they represent.
They do not fear, nor do they need
to fear the candidacy of any other
aspirant for the democratic nominal
ton this year for the reason that, in
the first place, the republicans norm
ally have majority in the state, and
in the next place, if Berge is not
renominated nothing will suffice to
convince from thirty to fifty thousand
independent voters in the state that
he was not turned down through rail
road influence which will prove to be
a handicap sufficient to defeat the
party. On the other hand the nOmi-
nation of Mr.. Berge will satisfy the
voters of the state at large that the
democratic convention was free from
railroad influence in which case, with
a campaign such as Mr.. Berge will
make, not only will the independent
voters be held in line, but thousands
of independent republican voters will
be drawn to the support of the ticket
which will practically insure the cleo
ton of the entire democratic ticket,
including a legislature and United
States senator.
What is the secret of the opposi-
ton to the denomination of Mr..
Berge in the democratic convention?
In the first place the opposition, so
far as has been discovered, is con-
fined to very few party manipula-
tors, while the sentiment among the
rank and file of democrats in the state
is overwhelmingly for Berge. Again
we ask what is the secret of this ex-
ceedingly small but mysteriously &C i've
Berge by the democrats? The public
has not yet been taken into their
secret. lnaI WHICH mas Deen given DIS
reason is but preteXt for opposi-
ton, while the real reason is conceal
ed That we are unable to view this
matter differently is because we are
unable to relegate the opponents of
Mr.. Rerge's nomination to the shades
of biggotry that is technical and
senseiess.
The railroads are opposing the NOM
nation of Mr.. Berge because they

EXPENSIVE ADDITIONS.
John Robinson Searches the
World in Quest Of
Novelties.

Each spring before the show leaves
the winter quarters for The road
tour, the several agents of the big
concern, who have during the win
ter months been hunting over Con-
tinental Europe for novelties to
augment the program, assemble
with their respective finds, and the
equestrian director becomes a busy
parsonage sorting and placing the
many acts so that they will show to
the best advantage and not conflict.
This seasons hunt has been pro-
life of good results, and the manage
Tment is in position to offer one Of
the most complete programs in the
history of the organization, and in
addition the comfort of the patrons
is assured, for the show is supplied
with coupon chairs, polite ushers'
and uniformed attendants; the ticket
wagon has a telephone service, and
when the show arrives in the city 81
connection with the local phone ex-
change is made, and you can order
seats direct from your house with
the assurance that when you call for
them at the wagon they will be
saved for you; and then there is the
big private electric light plant and
the thousand and one lesser features
that help to assure the visitor to the
John Robinson Show that he or she
will be entertained with as much |
care and attention as the best equip
ped theatre in the Metropolis could |
The agents are in the city billing
the show for two performances on
next, July Is, and the fore
cast that capacity business viii rule
when they come is not premature.

There is more catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and

cal treatment. pronounced it incura-
BILE. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by +. j. Cheney & Co., To-
iedO, O., is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken in.

system. They offer one hundred
