system is now dominated by Standard
Oil. .,s.a&
Standard Oil, the Morgan, Hill, Har-
riman combine and the Pennsylvania
railroad clique, constitute the back,
bone of the republican party. These
great Orbs each control a vast num-
Der of Satellites, which together with
their principles constitute all there is
of the republican party, with the sim
gle exception of Theodore Roosevelt.
The party is very SICK Just now. It's
ailment is known as Rooseveltism.
Some say the party will soon recover;
that the disease, although exhibiting
many spectacular symptoms, is in no
wise dangerous; that only minor men,
bers of the party have the disease, any
way, and that it is fake disease
at best. Others, however, are positive
that the disease will kill the party
and make Bryan president
For our own part, while we do not
take Roosevelt very seriously, we re-
gard Rooseveltism as a symptom of
national health. The minor members
OF the party who have fallen vic
TINS of this so-called disease are so
numerous that Rooseveltism has SO
far proven itself to be stronger than
the party. If Roosevelt is actually sin
cere, in dead earnest, and will use
the power and resources at his COM

TO THE READERS OF THE INDIE.
PENDENT

AS you will observe the makeup of
The Independent has been changed
so as to embrace a number of addi-
tional features which will greatly add
to its value. Also with this issue !
step aside as editor. In the future
Hon. j. NJ Devine will be it's editor
and have general charge of the paper.
Mr.. Devine for years edited the Ma
tional Waterman at Washington, D.
e. | congratulate the readers OF The
Independent as well as myself for be-
ing able to secure the services or such
an eminent journalist. No ADLER or
sturdier defender of the rights of the
people against invasion by corporate
or other interests, has been found in
recent years. The encouragement un-
measured commentator and cordial
and generous support bestowed upon
The Independent during my brief ad-
miniStratiOn have been to me both
gratifying and reassuring and | be-
speak for Mr.. Devine this same cordial
support. relinquish this work at this
time for several reasons.
In the first place / am connected
with a law firm and the work there
demands my entire time. The work
l have done here has been just that
much extra and was done mostly
evenings when / could be relieved
from other work. 1t is too much and
l find that / must either relinquish
this work or abandon my law prac-
tice entirely. After due consideration
/ have concluded that it is best to
remain with my chosen profession
rather than permantIy enter a new
field.
Then there is another reason why
! turn this work over to others at this
time. The response by the voters of
Nebraska to the issues that | thrust
into the campaign in 1904, wherein !
received 10000 more votes for the
governorship than the combined vote
cast for Parker and Watson, the presi.
Dental candidates running on the same
tickets, removed the last vestige OF
doubt from the minds of both friends
and enemies of the cause cham
pioned, that i had struck at the vul.

government in our state. And lest
the issue thus forced INTO the arena
of Nebraska politics in 1904, which 1t
is universally conceded would have
swept the railroad party from power
had it not been for the Roosevelt
Tidal Wave" be neglected after the
election, / purchased The Independent
and dedicated it to the redemption OF
Nebraska from railroad control. At
forwards / published book exposing
that most insidious and successful in
strumentality of political debauchery
and wholesale bribery, used by rail-
way corporations to secure control
over the government of our cities,
states and nation, THE Free Pass Bri-
berry System
My efforts have met with signal
success. The Independent found
welcome in thousands of homes in
Nebraska and other states and it's cir
cuation has been constantly growing.
My book THE Free Pass Bribery Sys-
tenn now has readers in every section
of the country and the demand for it
is daily increasing. During the 1904-O5
legislative session ] also had intro
duced an anti-pass bill and | appeared
before the legislative committee on
railroads and argued for it's passage
OF course, the bill with others of its
kind was defeated. 1t never found
it's way out of the committee-room.
The platform upon which / made my
race for governor less than two years
ago, has been making tremendous
Roadway. Ever since that election the
tidal wave has been rising and the
people today see more clearly than
ever before how the free pass bribery
system, the corrupt lobby, the politi-
cal bosses which these instruments of
corruption heget, must all be first
driven from the field of politics be-
fore we can get wholesome legislation
and incorruptible officials.
In Nebraska the forces are already
forming for battle. 1t will be mem
orable struggle. The people want
the free pass bribery system de-
stroyed, root and branch they want
corrupt lobbying driven from our state
capitol; they want the railroad tax
question settled right; they want ex-
tortiOn and discrimination in freight
rates stopped; they want above every
thing else honest ana true men who
can be trusted to do this work. Ar
rayed against the people is the power
full influence of the railroads. an army
of free pass holders and a corrupt
lobby. Oh, if the people could only
stand together in SUCH a struggle,
what a victory they could achieve!
But attempt is already being made
to confuse the issue. Already rail-
road tools who for twenty-five years
have been passholders and agents of
the railroads are posing as reformers
and protesting sympathy with the
righteous cause of the people. An
appeal will be made TO craftsmanship
in the hope of lining up in that way
honest anti-railroad voters for rail-
road candidates. The game of poll
tics was never played with more

PARTY SLAVERY

Evidence that party lines set more
lightly upon the voters of the country
than ever before is abundant upon
every hand This is in a great meas
ure due to the strain they have beer
subjected to in recent years.
The quality in human nature thai
makes men partisan remains, but the
tension put upon 1t by the party
leaders has been more than it cOult
bear. Party leaders OF the present
day do not represent great ideas ant
policies for the betterment of the
country and the people, regarding
which natural differences of opinion
may exist. But, on the contrary, they
represent in the main the ambition
of rival rings and cIiques, engaged in
exploiting the people for private gain
AS an illustration, take United States
Senator Aldrich Of Rhode Island
whose leadership or his party in the
United States senate stands unques
toned Who does Mr. Aldrich repre-
sent in the senate of the United
States? The people OF Rhode Island
Not at all. To assert that Mr.. Aldrich
represents the people of Rhode Island
in the presence of any of his col
leagues of the senate, or within the
hearing of newspaper correspondents
at the national capitol would evoke
from them a smile of pity, sort OF
contemptuous pity for the innocent
who knew no better than to make
such a remark Senator Aldrich is
regarded at the national capitol as
the chief bugler of the numerous
Standard Oil statesmen CD occupy
ing seats in the two houses of con
gress.
Standard Oil is term not sufficient

1t has much broader meaning now
than it had before the oil monOpoliSts

know that Standard Oil is the dom
inant power in what is known as the
Gould system of railroads. The wealth
of George Gould together with that
of the Gould family is much less thar
the wealth of any one of the dozen
men known as the Standard Oil crowd

George Gould only holds his position
