1T WOULD BE coWARDLY

Z Two years ago when the Roosevelt
tidal wave swept over the land level
ing everything before it, when not a
piping sound was audible from
single democratic politician in the
state, the ambitious party leaders hav-
ing silently skunk into their tents and
caverns. it seems that the fates held
in reserve for the occasion gifted
leader, filled with the fire of truth, to
send forth to battle for the rights of
the producers and tax payers of Ne
braska
1t is we'll known that had the dem
ocrats believed that there was any
prospect for one of their number to
succeed in reaching the governorship
in 1904, George W. Berge would not
have been the nominee of the party
for that Office But, lacking a leader
possessed of the necessary convic-
tons and courage to enter the cam
paign against the adverse political
tide that had set in, they consented to
the nomination of Mr. Berge, and then
left him to fight his battle unaided
and alone. During the campaign the
men who were conspicuous as lead
ers of the fusion forces of the state
for years remained silent as the
grave waiting until the storm would
blow over when they might emerge
from their seclusion and again assert
their divine right of leadership.
The only assistance that was vouch
safed to Mr.. Berge by any of the for
mer leaders was to caution hin
against being radical in his demands
for reform in the government of the
state The admonition was wasted OF
nature foreign to such baseness ant

THE PRICE OF LIBERTY.

Y Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty" The Savior of mankind was
betrayed into the hands of His enc
mics for an amount much less in value
than that of an annual pass over the
railroads of Nebraska. The free rail-
road pass, the most insiduous of all
brides, is doing its deadly work in
the politics of our state at this time
1t is being used with telling force up.
on the politicians of both political
parties. The people who pay the
freight must arise in their might and
deal a death blow to the iniquitous
free pass bribery system.
In the campaign of two years ago
George w. Berge, with rare power
and eloquence, pointed out to the vot-
ers of Nebraska that this insiduous
bride stood between the people of the
state and the control of it's govern
ment. Those who listened to his in
dictment of the free pass as the most
prolific source of political corruption,
and heard his appeal to the people to
arise in their might and reclaim the
government of the state, destroy the
free pass bribery system and drive
the professional LOBBY from the state
house, recognized the voice of a true
leader who struck at the well-spring
of political corruption, and they gave
him their confidence and their votes.
When Mr.. Berge opened his cam
paign and leveled his guns upon the

Berge TO smother the Hres Vi resent
ment against railroad government
that burned in every fiber of his be-
ing. His nature forbid compromise
and his voice rung out over the state
and quickened into life the giant of
the prairies that lie sleeping beneath
the heels of Hartman and Hill, while
beneath all political banners and
all sorts of uniforms, pass bribed poll
ticians were holding to, his nose chlor-
oform sponges of many political
brands
Berge's campaign in 1904 was sur
prise to the politicians of both parties.
He aroused the people from their
lethargy and filled them with enthu-
siasm, and so far as he was person
ally able to reach the voters of the
state, he created a following unsur-
passed in numbers and enthusiasm by
any political leader of modern times,
even under more favorable condi-
tons Berge struck key note that
stirred the public conscience to the
center in his scathing arraignment of
the free railroad pass as a bride.
Those who are old enough to re-
member the dark days of 1862, when
the union armies were returning run
away slaves to their southern owners,
who came into the union lines under
| flag of truce and claimed the
negroes as their property, will re-
member the terrific force of the SEN
sation created by the use of single
word, when General Benjamin F. But
| Ter declared slaves to be contraband
of war, and refused to give up the
negroes within his line to southern
claimants. The effect of that declara
ton was most startling. The nation
seemed to hold it's breath for second

lief and then a loud acclaim of joy

Even as Butler broke the back Of
the confederacy with the word con
