One Of the greatest evils of state
politics is the political pass.
II is a we'll known fact that for
many years all the delegates TO bot.
the Republican and Democratic state
conventions have been carried free.
Sometimes 1t has been necessary Tor
a railroad to run a special train in
order to accommodate the great num-
ber of politicians.
The railroads are not noted as phi
lanthropists They look pretty close
ly after their business In a business
like way. They do not mind giving
something away II they are pretty
sure to get something they want back
Usually the passes for political Dur-
poses are handled by one or two per-
sons who are large factors in state
politics and who use them for their
personal advantage.
In the years gone by Senator Wei
colt controlled the passes for a time
and later Senator Hughes built up
machine by the pass method.
Two years ago at about this season
of the year the Fremont County Fair
association endeavored to get special
trains run into Canon City to carry
the many people from Colorado
Springs and Pueblo. The railroads
would not consent TO do this unless
the fair association would put up i
cash guarantee of 1875. Although the
only reason for holding Fair was to
build up the town and the chief BEN
ificiary of bigger town is the rati-
road running into it. The railroads
said II was a business proposition
and II Canon City would guarantee
the cost of the train with n cash
guarantees the train would be run.
But the same day the Fair was held
the Democratic state convention met
in Denver and the same railroad car
ried probably 1000 delegates and po-
litical workers from all over the state
TO the capital city free OF charge. The
transportation issued on account Of
that convention should have cost not
less than $4,000.
In that case II was business prop
osition too but no cash guarantee was
required-the railroads knew who
they we're dealing with and they knew
that they would get their money back.
Last spring when the conventions
we're called the railroads announced
that no convention passes would lie
Issued. So unusual was this that the
state chairman sent out such notices
10 county chairmen and in some cases
these notices were read at the conven-
tions.
But as the time OF the state conven-
tions came near It was found that
some one in each OF the counties had
tickets for all delegates. In the case

In the case OF the Democratic con-
vention a good Samaritan found some
way of furnishing tickets for the dsl-
egates.
Why?
Why should any railroad or any
man hand out transportation by TIE
wholesale for a state convention?
Who pays the bills? The expense
is charged up to somebody.
Who is to blame?
If a man bribes an official who do
you blame?
If a railroad bribes a thousand peo-
rle-do you blame the railroad alone?
Is the man who takes the pass entire
ly blameless?
II 1t is wrong for a senator or a
railroad to give out a thousand tick
cts for political services" in a time
of emergency is the individual who
rides on the political pass free from
criticism?
Have we a double standard Of
right and wrong?
Is it wrong to give bribe but No:
wrong to take one?
If the political pass is given out
for political services is IT wrong?
II it is wrong to give out a thous-
and political passes for political serv-
ices is it wrong for the delegate %

for this?

that no delegate elected to the state

of our apostle. BY nature, by grace,
and by providential training he had
been especially fitted for his task.
Everywhere we can trace the might
and sweetness that belonged to his
character; the versatile mind, YET
the simple heart; the varying tact, yet
the fixed resolve; the large desire TAX
ing counsel from all, yet the minute So
licitude for each; the fiery zeal, yet
means, yet the reliance in God alone;
the readiness in action, with a willing
ness to wait; the habitual self-pos-
session, yet the outburst of an in
spiration, which raised him above him
self-the abiding consciousness of an
authority-an authority in him. but
not of him, and yet the ever present
humility Above all, there burned in
him that boundless love which seems
the main constituent of apostolic char
acter. 1t was love for God; but it was
love for man also, an impassioned
love, a parental compassion. Wrong
and injustice to the poor he resented
as an injury to God.
A lust man, indeed, was st. Patrick;
with purity of nature like the patri-
archs: true pilgrim like Abraham;
gentle and forgiving of heart like
Moses; a praiseworthy psalmist like
David; an emulator of wisdom like
Solomon; a chosen vessel for pro-
claiming truth like the Apostle Paul;
a man of grace and of knowledge of
the Holy Ghost like the beloved John;
a lion in strength and power; a dove
in gentleness and humility; a servant
of labor in the service of Christ; a
king in dignity and might, for bind
ing and loosening, for liberating and
convicting.
