EVERY PASS A' VIOLATION OP LAW
1JALS
Tbo following is an extract from a classes which has been mentioned,
the Great Western railroad, before trie
Economic Society of Washington, D.
C, February 3:
"Turning now from the defects; of the
law, I desire to-call attention .to some
extraneous conditions and influences
which have conduced to rendering the
law unenforceable and which, as long
as they exist, will render the most per
fect law unenforceable, .
"The interstate commerce law' not
only forbids discrirainationMn freight
rates, but it also prohibits free' trans
portation of passengers. It makes the
acceptance of a discriminating freight
ra.te or a free .pass by an individual a
misdemeanor, each punishable alike
by fine or imprisonment,
"If we examine the principles of law
and the principles of sound morals
which justify the law we shall find
that every principle applies to the one
as to the other. If we inquire a3 to the
relative importance to men of small
affairs we will find that one is as im
portant as the other. If we. inquire Into
the heart burning3 :. growing out of
railway discriminations, which are
breeding class distinction and class
hatred, and even anarchism, among the
so-called lower classes, we will find
-that the bitterest feelings are. aroused
by being compelled to pay fare while
richer men ride free. If we go among
the laboring classes, either as individ
uals or in their : public-' meetings, we
will hear bitter denunciations, not of
unreasonable or discriminating freight
rates, but of free passes. In times of
railway strikes we hear the park ora
tors proclaim; .'Why . should we work
for scant wages in ; order that- rich
uifii may ime in me trams iree ; rroo
ably 80 per cent of the entire popula
tion pay fares, while not more than,
say, 5 per cent pay freight rates.
"The law which makes, it a .mis.de-'
.meanor tor any individual not an of
ficer or employe of a railway company.
to use a pass was enacted by congress
and approved by the president fifteen-
years ago, and as an individual rule of
action it was ignored by the congress-;
men who passed and by. the president
who approved it, end subsequent con
gressman and president, with rare ex
ceptions, have ignored its provisions.
Traveling, they preeent the evidence of
their misdemeanor before the eyes of
the public in a way.which indicates no
regard for the law. The governors of
the states, many oi the judges in
short, all officialdom from the highest
to the lowest the' higher clergy, col
lege professors, editors, merchants,
bankers, lawyers, present the evidence
of their misdemeanor. , Now, while
sheriffs, district attorneys, courts and
prisons may. cope with the outcasts of
society, they are powerless against the

Think of the, imposibility of commit

of a sherilf arresting himself, or a dis
trict attorney prosecuting himself, and
a court committing himself to the pen
itentiary!, ."In "'England, where the laws against
diseriminai.ons are enforced, these
conditions do not exist The members
of parliament, who enacted the raws,
have obeyed the laws, and ' even the
king, when traveling on the railways,
pays the regular fare, and if he has a
special train he pays the schedule rate.-
for its use. The minor officials the
railway officials and the public follow
their example. Therefore the lav , of
England against discrimination is effective."
, The Spread of Populism .
What populists foresaw and pro
claimed; is how becoming so evident
that it can no longer be denied, any
more than a man can deny that the
sun apparently rises in the east and
sets in the west; That being the case
populist doctrines are not only forcing
themselves into, magazines but ' into
daily .papers also, and papers, too, that
denounced these same doctrines .with
the vindicatfveness of S'atan not long
ago; -' The ; following paragraphs are
taken from one column , of editorial
found in the State - Journal ' of '.Pebru"
ary 3: - :2.V. VV.V-V, :X.S-t-'J ,
"If American made steel were' Sold
as cheap in American ship yards as in
the yards at Belfast and , Newcastle,
one excuse for asking for a ship, sub
sidy, ' the higher ' cost of . building' ma
terial; would be removed.". '"'
J. "Cautious persons"1- who ; have ; re
frained from mentioning ; the" packets
as the 'beef , trust,'., for fear ; of 5 doing
injustice to pure "and Jaw abiding men,
may feel' justified inN dropping their
reserve now. By a vote of nine to
nothing the United States ..supreme
court; decides that there is a beef trust.
Most people "will ' take the word- of the
Supreme court in' preference '.to 'that
of the packers."- - - '
"And now come, Illinois - and Cali
fornia into the list, of states where it
charged that legislators are bought -by
appht.-arts' for special privileges "as
ilsl are bought and sold 4n the mar
ket." 'Must the school boy of a thou
sand years hence read of - the ; United
States Jn 1905, somewhat as he now
reads of ancient Rome, that there "was
an extreme scarcity of legislative vir
tue in that Wicked time? It is not trite.
Ptinish the few- grafters who' throw
disn edit on large numbers of honest
anil patriotic men."
