They believe it to be a private perquisite of their own, and they think that those of us who agi tate against passes are intermeddiers and a menace to their private rignts. : Only One Way Out The people of this state will never get relief from railroad influence until the old pass-holders are left out of all conventions and until candidates are nominated by the people them selves who are not tainted with rail- road influence. This is true of 'can dldates in all political parties. I would rather have a republican legis lature composed of members who have never ridden upon passes than a democratic or populist pass holding legislature. And the same way, I would rather have a populist or dem ocratic legislature composed of mem bers who have never ridden on passes than a republican legislature com posed of old time pass-holders. What I mean to say is that not until we get a legislature and state officials composed of men who are absolutely 'free from railroad influence and I (believe that means men who have never accepted transportation from the railroadswill we shake off rail road control and have actually a gov ' eminent by the people. Gives People No Hope ' The platform is significant for one other thing. It says absolutely not one word about freight rates and rail road taxes in Nebraska, and it gives the people no hope whatever along this line. The free pass Is wrong for ' two reasons. In the first place it is unjust discrimination, and should be abolished for that reason. In the sec ond place, the pass is a bribe, and we ;want to abolish the passes so that we may get rid of extortionate freight 'rates and properly tax the railroads. ,The real evil in the state of Nebraska is extortionate freight rates and the ( undervaluation of railroad property. This is the evil we want to eradicate and I do not believe that we can do it until the free pass system is de- We fUsk It Druggists Who Sell Dr. Miles' Nervine Agree, If It Fails, To Refund Cost.

It cures diseases of the internal or gans, by giving tone to the nerves which make these organs work. . . It is a novel theory not of anatomy, tout of treatment; first discovered by Dr. Miles, , and since made use of by many wide-awake physicians, who ap preciate Its value in treating the sick.

Now then I would like to ask the republican state convention what its Duroose is after the free pass is destroyed? What is your plan up on the freight rate question? What is your plan about the question oi taxing the railroads? President's Weakest Words The platform adopted is significant because of another fact. It quotes President Roosevelt on the line of in terstate commerce legislation. The weakest thing that President Roose velt ever said upon the railroad ques tion is put in that platform. Here is the quotation from President Roose velt: . "I believe that all corporations en gaged in interstate commerce should be under the supervision of the na tional government. I do not believe in taking steps hastily and it may be that all that is necessary in the im mediate future is to pass an inter state commerce bill conferring upon some branch of the executive govern ment the power of effective action to remedy the abuses in connection with railway transportation. In all the speeches that President Roosevelt has made this is the weak est portion of them all upon the rail road question. In other speeches President Roosevelt has declared that he" favored the abolition of all dis crimination in freight rates, such as the abolition of the private car sys tem, rebates, etc., but he has gone farther than this. He has insisted that the interstate commerce commis sion should be clothed with power to fix rates. This is absolutely essential if anything effective is to be done with interstate commerce. The res olution Tuerefore is vague and vacil ating upon the question of the pow ers of the interstate commerce com mission. " I do not believe that the railroad question will be solved untit the gov ernment ' owns the railroads. Until we can have government ownership, however, let us in good, faith try to regulate : them. I believe much head way can be made along the line of regulation. No progress will be made, however, as long as the game of poli tics is played. No real headway will be made as long as the pass-holders are in control. We must do this with out them. If a republican legislature in Nebraska will ever pass an effec tive anti-pass law, and will ever ef fectively control the railroads, I will be the best pleased man in the state. I care not what the complexion of the legislature is that will pass this kind' of a law. All I care about is that a real law will be passed and not a makeshift or a make-believe that will give us no relief. GEORGE W. BERGE. A Difficult Position Two Irishmen were crossing a bog when one of them fell into a mudhole His companion, running to a nearby farm house, asked the loan of a spade "What do you want it for?" asked the farmer. . - "Sure, Mike is stuck in the bog and I want to dig him out," was the an swer. "How far in is he sunk?" questioned the farmer. "Ud to his ankles." "Begorra, then he can easy walk out" . : "Begorra, he can't," exclaimed Pat. He's in wrong end up. Provoking Mistake The caller was -angry, and even belli ererent. 'I want an exDlanation and an apol ogy, sir" he said.

Please Mention THE INDEPENDENT DEMURRER IS FILED GRAIN DEALERS CHALLENGE COURT'S JURISDICTION Nye-Schneider-Fowler Presents an Original Plea Based on a Claim That Jukin Bill Supersedes All Other Legislation The members of the Nebraska Grain Dealers' association, defend ants in a suit filed by the state of Nebraska to dissolve the association on the ground that it is operating contrary to laws prohibiting restraint of trade, have filed demurrers in the supreme court, but arguments will not be heard for several months. All of the defendants, with the exception of the Nye-Schnei der-Fowler company, have filed de murrers challenging the jurisdiction or the court and alleging that there a a misjoinder of causes of action and of parties. A Unique Contention The Nye-Schneider-Fowler com pany alleges in a motion filed that the petition of the state is framed as a suit in equity under the Junkin act which took effect July 1, 1905, and no other law previously enacted or now n force will support such an action nequity. It is alleged that the Junkin act if it is now enforced at all, and ap plication all prior statutes on this subject, hence all actions occurring prior to July 1, 1905, are immaterial add should not be permitted to be pleaded. This defendant therefore moves to strike from the petition the words 'for the last three years," and if the plaintiff desires to substitute any other time therefore to limit such time to a date not prior to July 1, 1905. In the alternative, if the fore going be overruled, then to vacate the restraining order. State's Position Attorney General Brown, who drew up the petition for the state, did not indicate under what act the suit was begun. An intimation was given that if the Junkin act or any of the other anti-trust laws of Nebraska failed, the suit could be prosecuted under the common law. A temporary in junction was issued when the petition was filed. At it was an original ac tion in the supreme court the case will be tried in that court and deposi tions have been taken. Further testi mony was to have been taken yes terday before Notary Minor Bacon, but owing to the heavy rains and con seuent disorganization of railroad traf fic, it was said no witnesses were able to reach Lincola and no hearing was held. v " For over sixty years Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Frrup has been used by mothers for their children while teeth ing.
