It concerns every citisej)- The night I left Washington **! bought two mileage hooka over the Southern Railway for my wife and self. I paid $20 apiece for them— two centv-a mile. They are inter changeable and can be exchanged for tickets' over fifty-flee railroads oper ating in the South. 1 exchanged this mileage for tickets to Calhoun, ■South Carolina, bat 1 could not ex- (Jignge it for ticke ts from Anderson Ukjfemm^'ood or'Vom Greenwood to Columbia. I note oh the inside of the back cover this condition: “Coupons from this bool: will not be accepted on trains, nor on. and Vifter May 1, 1912. in exchange for tickets for a journey wholly within the State of South Carolina.” The^South- ern Railway lias my $40 for these two books, and yet I cannot use them fn the State of South Carolina. I, call this infamous and downright robbery. Why? Because north of the Potomac and Ohio rivers and werlward to the Great Plains each •system of roads like the Southern sells mileage at two cents per mile. No sigmu^uie of the pun baser is required. One may use such mil eage te tarry hiftawhole fam ; l> as r.yll cs his neighbors and triends. Ail the railroads want or require is a coupon for every mile traveled h> every pas senger. Why this discrimination? Are the Northern people any m.ort i iviltzed or better Christians than the Southern people? I do nog think any body claims it. but all the same^tbe people of South Carolina are treated as though they are criminals and con victs. Why? Because they have not tense enough, it seems, to elect men to the Legislature who will colnpel the railroads (o treat them ^fairly and justly like the citizens of other States are treated. Inveetigation will show that a large number of the members of the Legislature are lawyers in the em- * ploy of the railroads. Many of them are traveling on free passes in South Carolina because thi^ railroad ratt bill, which engineered Through the United States Senate, expressly pro vides in terms tb/.t no free passe, shall be grp.ntfii by the railroads, ex <ept to their employees, attorneys.' e!«\ It in tbrou ;h Gih; loopbok that th«' legislators who are venal <an lie deltanebed in every < onrt’no.fd Ugh. laters v.ho are vemil can be d>/ town hi the kale ro v li' l t J -present:; the railroads, rttmtiv more than on-*, aa-id t)\ e hi • ate efteti elected to ihe * If a lawyer is tl • tee., to ',u !, : latum who is not dr* ady a l? ; road attorney, lie soon beymt • • if the rail-oids want L w ant/ if - d.t ,!i* ’ tlitt I am a friend o and recognize their in advancing the welfare community.

Nat ao opportunity came as. the Senate . pigeon-holed it. I would hare been glad to Jiave shown the v records from 4b* House and Senate journals of certain men' in South (Carolina public life,. among * them t ^Governor Blease, who cast the decid- jug vote on one occasion which de feated the mileage bill. Now, fellow citizens, this is not 6nly wrong but it la indecent. Such corruption and cowardice ought not to be Tolerated by the people., A shaking op Is needed and some men retired to private life to cogitate and ponder over the fate of those who betray the trnst the people have reposed in them. This is a day sad time in which the masses are more aroused than they have ever been In my lifetime.
