resented Nebraska in the United

trying to convince district judge thai
it was honorable to wear the collar of

senator. No wonder Nebraska has
been crushed under her burdens of
oppression when the whole Office hold

justice could a farmer or merchant
expect with all of his agents (office

SO swiftly it makes some of the fell

use the pass up till he was nominated
for congress, and asks if it isn't manly
to admit it. He, in fact, shouts it from

1t was reported in Lincoln yesterday
that Ross l.. Hammond, editor of the

nounce the refusal of himself and his
paper to support Judge ]. F. Boyd,
republican nominee for congress in the
Third district. The story was that
Hammond would come out for Graves,
the democratic candidate for congress
with the understanding that democrats
in Dodge county would support repub
lican nominees for the legislature. The
reason given for the expected bolt of
the Tribune was that Judge Boyd had

My Dear Sir
/ have your favor of the list, inst,
returning annual pass No. SAG for the
year 1900 over the Burlington system
west of the Missouri River.
| fully appreciate and honor your
motives in returning this pass and yet
think it due you and myself that you
should understand the reasons that
prompt action of this sort.
When I came to the Burlington en-
ployment four years ago | found that
the practice had been to send trans
portation to ali the state officials and
all Judges, both state and federal,
throughout the system This practice
has been continued during the last
four years and it is the rarest happen
ing that the transportation is returned.
Until this year, but one judge, and he
a district judge, returned his trans
portation. I wrote him stating that
the acceptance of the pass placed him
under no obligation to the road or Its
officials that the road was prompted
to send this transportation recogniz-
ing the fact that public officials in this
section and particularly judges are
very pooly paid and it was legitimate
and proper thing for the railroad to
contribute transportation to them in
the interests of public service and a
contribution to the public rather than
to the individual Upon my making
this explanation to the judge in ques-
ton he accepted and used his transpor-
| tatiOn
This year there have been few
who, like yourself, have returned their
passes, and some whom I have ad-
dressed upon the subject upon receiv-
ing the explanation retained their
transportation. | realize that this is
a matter for each individual to decide
| for himself and I return the pass to
you that you may take such action as
you deem. best with this explanatory
letter before you.
So far as this corporation is con-
cerned it does not ask nor does it ex-
pect to receive at the hands of honest.
and fearless judges, any different treat
ment from any other litigant. The
officials who manage its affairs have
every confidence in your sense Of
right and justice and feel that it will
be treated in every respect with fair
ness and that the acceptance or re-
lection of transportation will cut no
figure before you for judicial determin-
alton
Assuring you of my high esteem, I
, am,
Truly yours,

is Here Given in Black and White.
When one remembers that up to
Eve years ago it was considered quite
honorable to be owned by the railroads
and wear the railroad collar in the
form of pass, it is the more signifl-
cant that Judge Graves fully appre-
ciated the evil of this practice, and
was unselfish and self-respectlng
enough to refuse to accept such Ia
ovr even at that early day.
The following letters show Judge
Graves position on this subject, and
it is so admirable that one cannot es-
cape the conviction that he has high
moral sense of official propriety and
honesty. In fact Judge Graves, ac-
cording to Ex-senator Henderson, SOIL
citor of the Burlington railroad, was
the only judge in Nebraska save one
who was conscientious enough to re-
fuse Burlington pass.
