is going to be the next United States sena-
tor from Nebraska, II Douglas county has

that so long as an employe faithfully per-
formed his duties for which he was paid,
said employee owed nothing further TO his
employer. He said every employe had the

NOT A MONEY CAMPAIGN.


It is a welcome assurance which
comes directly from the republican
congressional campaign committee that
this will not be a money campaign"
and that there will be no effort TO get
contributions from corporations" Not
withstanding the senate bill forbiddiug
political contributions in any election
in which national officers are voted for
and the bill requiring publicity In cam
paign contributions failed of enact
ment. the announced policy Of the COM
mittee is in conformity with over
whelming public sentiment and with
the demand for reform in political
methods.
1t has been discovered, too, that not
a few of the states have now and long
have had laws on their statute books
which forbid and punish the diversion
Of corporation funds for the purpose of
influencing elections and legislation,
although those laws had long remained
for the most part a dead letter. The
law of New York. as amplifed by the
last legislature, provides sweeping pro-
hibitions and drastic punishment for
violation, and public opinion is now
such as to call for enforcement every
fective upon the whole is the universal
awakening of public conscience which
will cause a multitude of corporation
officers and agents, who may heretofore
have made contributions of corporation
funds according to prevailing custom
without intent to violate law or do
wrong, to refrain from doing so, even
should they be solicited.
The operation of these influences, It
is to be reasonably hoped. will this
year have large effect upon all political
parties, for the evil of corporation
money has been common to all parties,
not only in national, but also in state
and municipal elections. It will be q
great step towards honest government
for the people to exclude from the
campaign the agency of corporation
money, the tendency of which, in addi-
ton to its direct corruptions, must in
evitably be to pervert government to
the ends of special interests.
1t OF course by no means follows
that campaign committees and party
associations should be deprived of the
financial means of promoting the
causes they represent. There are
legitimate campaign needs requiring
expenditure of no small amount of
funds. Publicity by the spoken and
written word. on the stump and
through the press, is costly and neces-
sary party organization, for interesting
electors and bringing them out for reg
istration and voting cannot be provided
without expense. Contributions there
for, representing the voters convic-
lions touching public policy, are not
only proper, but honorable and salu-
tary when rightly safeguarded for
which one Of the best methods is that
of complete publicity.

It is beginning to be realized how
immense will be the benefit of the new
interstate railroad law to the railroads
themselves. even IL the view extend to
no more than the two points OF rebates
and free passes. Il is. of course, i'm
possible TO state accurately the amount
of railroad revenue sacrificed through
rebatng, but IL is known to have been
enormous. The sworn testimony in
the various recent official investiga-
lions and judicial trials show how great
are the sums which railroad officials
have voluntarily paid back in one way
or another to favored shippers or been
compelled by powerful shippers to re-
fund. But the cases that have thus
been brought to light are relatively
few and constitute only a drop in the
bucket. One prominent railroad Of
fetal in his testimony estimated that
the annual loss of revenue in this coun-
try to the carrier companies has been
not less than $500. 0OO,0 and other
competent witnesses expressed a sub
stantially similar opinion.
Leaving out of the account the de-
moralizing effect of rebate discrimina-
tons upon business In general and
their fatal injustice between the ia
vored and the unfavored shipper, 1t is
perfectly obvious that these vast sscri-
fees of revenue are sheer loss to the
real owners of the carrier properties,
namely, the stockholders. Yet, singu-
larly enough, many of them have been
apprehensive of the movement to pre-
vent such Determinations through the
fundamentally of public authority, al
though IL has been demonstrated. and
is universally conceded even by rail-
road men. that adequate remedy
through their own voluntary action is
impossible. The truth is that the ap-
prehensions and prejudices of stock
holders have been abused by rebaters
and their confederates in commerce
and industry who all the time were
wrongfully prof1ting at the expense of
stockholders on the one hand and the
general public on the other.
Now that the powers of the national
government have been enlarged and a
sustained effort is to be made to en-
force them against Relating, it is an
suspicious sign that railroad stock
holders are beginning to take broader
and truer view of their own interest
and to see that 1t requires the pro-
visions against rebates to be carried
out in good faith by their representa-
lives in charge of the carrier proper
ties. Even IL the whole question of
DISQUALIFICATION be waived. the fact
is deeply impressing stockholders that,
II rebates are actually wiped out, as the
law requires, there could be a material
reduction OF average freight charges
and yet larger profits divided than
shareholders have been receiving under
the rebate system.

THE CONGRESSIONAL PRIMARY.


The selection of an uncontested del
egation for Douglas county to the re-
publican congressional convention for
the Second Nebraska district assures
the denomination of Congressman John
L. Kennedy, although the other two
counties, which together with Douglas
make up the congressional district, are
yet to hold their conventions. Doug
las county Is SO preDonderant in this
district that, with 1t united on a single
candidate, II is not necessary to wait
for the other counties to speak. In
this case. however, Sarpy and Washing
ton counties will in all probability &C
Quiesce in MIR. Kennedy's renomina-
ton without dissent His endorse
ment for a second term will only be
following out the established prece-
dent which accords to a representative
in congress a denomination at the
hands of his party in recognition of
satisfactory service during his first
term.
The fact that the nomination will
have been secured without a prelimi-
nary fight and without embittering any
competitors ought to leave the nomi-
nee in position to make an aggressive
and successful campaign for the cleo
ton. The Second Nebraska district is
a republican district and should con-
tinue so. especially when the admins
tration is entitled to the support of a
republican majority in the next house
to enable 1t to continue the progressive
policies begun in the present congress.
The congressional primaries held here,
therefore. may be taken to be equiva-
lent TO notice TO Congressman Ken
needy to proceed with his campaign.
