OMAHA, Oct. SOTO the Editor Of THE
BEE; have suggestion to make looking
10 the saving cf time in registration.
Let proper printed blank be provided,
bearing the legal questions to be asked each
elector, and handed to him as he enters the
place of registration. Then provide tables
so that a score of electors could ut the same
time write answers to the questions on the
blank, then step TO the registrars and make
affidavit TO the facts written This course
would enable all citizens to answer all the
questions and not be forced to wait the tedi-
Gus delays which are forced upon them. The
clerks could thereafter make a proper record
on their books to meet the full requirements
of tho law from the printed slips, which
might be retained for future reference.

THE BEE. Judge Tulcy has rendered a de-
cIsion in the contest between the two organi
cations calling themselves each "The Chi
cago Stock exchange" The old Chicago
Stock exchange secured charter away
back in the sixties. but went out of business
a number of years ago. The present eX-
change was formed by another set of men,
who adopted the old name. The old exchange
sued for perpetual injunction TO restrain
the new people from using the name, which,
they claimed, belonged exclusively to them.
Judge Tuley disposed ofs the suit
but without really deciding the
question at issue. He sald the ques-
ton was one for law and not chan
Gerry court to decide. He advised the new
exchange to begin qlo warranto proceedings,
which would make il necessary for the cid
organization TO show that they had not lost
their charter by abandoning business. III
the new exchange does not adopt that course
or begin law proceedings TO establish their
right to use the name OF the Chicago Stock
exchange. he as chancery judge will grant
the perpetual injunction asked for by the old
