Continued from first page. rich, if be is afraid to make aggressive warfare on saloons, gambling bouses and brothels ae some of them are in this citv, then bis congregation lapses into light regard for religion and the sacred functions of the church. If the gover nor of a state, after parading himself as an example of superior virtue, as a Moses who will lead the people out the g! bondage of a free pass system which has cursed their state for twenty years, and has brought with it all manner of official peculations, such as this "house rent” steal, if he, after setting himself np as such a leader, then descends to the level of a ward politician, grabbing greedily for free ride, free bed and free railroad passes, for "house rent” and for anything else that he can get under the £ color of law or on the sly, then bis political followers, accepting bis ex ample as a significant hint, plunge headlong into a general scramble for the spoil which goes with corrupt politics. When the legislature of ’94 was near ing its doseand the appropriations were being considered, Joseph S. Bartley, who was then state treasurer, and was more Intimate with Gov, Holcomb than any other republican state official, slipped around among the legislative members whispering that Gov. Holcomb would like to have the salary of bis private secretary raised from $1,700 to 13,000 and would be obliged for the usual "house rent” allowance of I1.S00 f$r himself. 8uch an appropriation bad been made for Gov. Crounse two years before without his request and he had promptly vetoed It, refusing to take the money, because, as he said, the constitution had fixed his compensation and to change the allowance by a legis lative trick would be equivllent to steal ing the money, for he had no right to it. And now with the Crounse veto and with public sentiment denouncing this crooked business on the one hand and with the governor’s lobbyists whisper ing his wishes and promising that he would show his appreciation in some substantial manner on the other hand, there was a halting and a hesitating on the part of the legislature, whether it would atay within the constitution, on .the higher ground whloh Crounse had pointed out or whether it would descend to the lower ground which Holcomb was anxious to ocoupy. /■ .• V f, * •* t 5y?v\' r . ft} *. , Here the example of the executive wee potent to turn the scale, for no etete government ever rises higher than the morality of its official head, and the republican members, fearing the gover Bor’s veto against some of their meas* urea, and consoling themselves that it was worse for the populist ‘ governor, after all his reform pretentions, to aecept the money than It was for them to appropriate it. they made the unlaw ful appropriation, and the reform gover nor signed it and took the money. Again in ’96 this “house rent’’ steal came before the legislature. There stood the Crounse veto, pointing to the constitution which says, “Thus far shalt thou go and no farther.” There stood populism with its platforms and pledges for economy and reform, but there was Maret, whipping in and out among the members like a weasel in a hen roost, there were the annual passes in the pockets of 96 reform members who had promised a hundred times each that they never would touch them, and there was the ring and the ring bosses who had helped to procure these passes, cracking the whip over the back of every member who hesitated, and they raieed the salary of the little secretary, passed the $1,500 unconstitutional “house rent” steal and the governor signed the bill and took the money. For several months past, pending the late campaign, the governor, fearing theae house rent vouchers would be seen by some newspaper reporter and that comment would be made in the press, neglected to draw on the unconstitu tional appropriation, but Tuesday of t$ie week he reached slyly into the treasury and got $360 of it. Prof. Hendee, a teacher in the deaf and dumb institute at Omaha, got into disgrace this week by selling some free transportation to a scalper.
