lowing Nebraska incident may ' have
been, .paralleled more than . once , in
other sta tes:'' ''"
Not many months ago a man was
drawn for Jury duty, and immediately
he sat down and wrote to the man
agement of the railroad than" traversed
his town, explaining . that1 he was
drawn as a juror and asking for trans
portation. The - pass was sent him
and he used it to travel to the county
seat. While in the jury box a dam
age suit against the railroad com
pany., was called, and he was objected
to by the plaintiff on the ground that
he has used a pass furnished by that
railroad. The judgs sustained the ob
jection and the juror was dismissed
from - the panel, his ' ; honor . making
some strong remarks concerning the
matter.
And while that judge was severely
criticising the juror, that, same judge
had in bis pocket an annual pass
over that same railroad good for him
self and family.
And here is another incident that
actually happened in Nebraska:
A liquor dealer in a western city
was arrested on the charge of having
violated the excise law. When the

wherein a . railroad "corporation was

the judge who had ' fined the liquor
dealer for giving a gallon of brandy
to a juror sat on the bench during
the hearing of the railroad -case with
an annual pass in his pocket from the
railroad that was a party to the suit.
If the liquor dealer was guilty of
contempt or attempted bribery for
having given some brandy to a juror,
what about the railroad that gave an
annual pass to. the judge? ' "

THAT LABOR DECISION ,
The supreme court of the United
States has just decided a case that
affects the labor question and is a
blow to labor organization. - This de
cision declares that no eight hour law
or ten hour law can interfere with the
individual right to contract. There is
much to the question, and persons who
have not lived in cities where the la
bor question is a vital one, can hardly
judge fairly. People in the country
know nothing about the labor question
except that there is always work and
no end to it. . But to the city workman
it presents itself in an entirely differ
ent view, and we fchould hear both
sides, before deciding. The eight hour
law passed in many states has been a
great help to labor organizations and
has in turn been bitterly antagonized
by those who employ in great num
bers. The greedy corporations nave
won a great victory, which means mil
lions of additional profits where profits
are already large. Hastings (Neb.),

say that a professional hearse-driver
was the man needed to complete the

Calling his private secretary into
the inner office and bidding him close
the door, the Great Magnate said: -,
"Have you arranged with Senator
Graball to get our special legislation
through?"
"The senator tells me that there
can be no such thing as failure.";
"And have you arranged with the XL,
Y. & Z. railroad for a better rebate on
our product?"
"The manager of the freight depart;
ment has finally consented to increase
our rebate by giving us 20 percent
more of the freight paid by ourcom
petitors." .
"And have you sold the- bonds, in
my Aurora Borealis and Blue Sky cor-
portation to .the .Benevolent Life As-H
surance company as an investment for -the
benefit of our policyholders?" u
"Yes, sir; I made the transfer on the-
books today and your account is cred
ited with an amount that equals the '
parr value of the stock of the Aurora'
Borealis and Blue Sky stock."
"Has that state senator to whom we
gave all those railroad passes finally
seen his way clear 'to vote for those
bills of ours?" ,
; i "Yes; -sir; ; he told, me last evening T
that he was convinced of the right-'
eousness of our demands." ,
I ',' Andi. by the way, .how about that '
ordinance we introduced in the city
council last week, vacating a couplo of '
public streets and giving them to us?".
"We- had some trouble, sir, but it Is
all over. Several of the aldermen in- ,
sisted upon being paid more than the
established .rate,, but- they .finally ac-"'
cepted the original tender. The. ordi
nance will be passed at tonight's meet-'

"Yes, sir. Is that all?" r " 'J "
