BAR ASSOCIATION TO MEET
Important Business to Come Up at Its
Annual Session.
RELIEF OF SUPREME COURT NECESSARY
Bills to Expedite work Of the Judges
Will he Introduced In the Hope
of Becoming Law This
Winter.

The Nebraska state Bar association will
hold its next regular meeting at Lincoln
wednesday afternoon and evening, begin
ming at o'clock. The afternoon session
viii be devoted to a discussion of proposed
bills for the relief of the state courts and
litisants which will be presented by the
legislative committee of the association
TO the next Legislature.
The most important OF these bills is one
relating to the relief OF the supreme court
The proposed bill has been prepared by W.
ID. Mcfiugh, chairman of the committee,
after consultation with many members OF
the bar. and its terms embrace the most
acceptable compromise which could be
reached. Briefly, the supreme court will
be authorized to appoint nine standing
referees whose duties shall be determined
by the rule OF the court II Is the intention
OF the authors OF the bill that referees
shall be given power to hear all cases re-
ferred TO them by the supreme court and
determine the facts and conclusions Of law.
With this system in vogue nine cases can
be heard and decided where but one can
come before the court at present At the
same time the system OF referees obviates
the objection urged by many lawyers
against the commissioner system, as every
case is passed upon, at least formally, by
the supreme court itself.
Another bill to be considered is one re-
ducing the time in which appeals can be
taken to the supreme court from the dis
trict court At present appeals can
be taken within six months after
the close of the term at which
the Judgment is rendered and ap-
peals on writs OF error may be taken at
any time within year after the close OF
the judgment term. IL Is proposed by the
association that the time in which the ap-
peal may be perfected be made the same
in each case and not more than six months
allowed
The question OF foreclosure OF mort ga ges
will receive attention. as the association
desires to have a substantial bond required
In cases where appeals in foreclosures are
made. At present, II is stated, the system
OF waste bonds is in force and any one
can appeal and not be responsible for the
value OF rents while they hold possession
OF the property pending u hea ring of the
appeal
Al the evening session banquet will be
spread the guests OF the association be-
ing General Henderson and Charles j.
Greene OF Omaha. Henry d. Estabrook Of
Chicago and John n. Baldwin of Council
BUNS. The association desires to have a
full representation of the Omaha bar at

The Maryland people nave made up
their minds to rid the state of illiterate
negroes. The Maryland legislature has
been called in extra session to amend
the ballot law. The governor says
there is a great necessity for "immedi-
ate legislation reforming manifest and
great abuses in the election law of the
state" The tickets have emblems on
them. The republican party emblem
has been Lincoln's head and the illit-
ate negroes nave no trouble in properly
marking their ballots. the instructions
being simply to put their mark in the
space next to Lincoln's picture.
The proposed law will abolish ballot
clerks, and the candidates names will
be arranged without reference to party,

to vote intelligently. South Carolina

THE MOVING OF THE STATES AS
TO CIGARETTES

You have perhaps no idea of the pro-
gress already made In the vigorous
fight against the vile cigarette. AL
ready the legislatures of thirteen
states are considering measures aimed
at the deadly enemy of the boys. 1t is
known also that eleven states have laws
against the sale of the cigarette. They
are Rhode Island, Iowa. New Hamp-
shire, Mississippi. Arizona. Texas, Yer
mont, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut,
Georgia. The states now considering
the question of prohibition of them are
Illinois, California. Montana. Missouri,
Massachusetts, Michigan. Minnesota,
Indiana, West Virginia, Nebraska, Del
aware, North Carolina. Women are
trying to stir up legislature in Tennes-
see, Maine, Utah, Oregon. Washington,
Wisconsin. 1t is reported to be true
that only two states Of the whole forty
five are silent and inactive. Will North
Carolina act or remain neutral? Web
ster's CR~eidsville) Weekly of 14th inst.
says:
1T will be remembered that during
the session OF the legislature of 1897,
We think it was, Judge Sutton of Fay
etteville presented statistics showing
that two hundred deaths resulted from
smoking cigarettes in North Carolina
in a year. A leading Methodist preach
er told US several years 6 that it
was his honest conviction hat Dukes
factory was doing more harm than any
licensed government dlStillery in North
Carolina"
During the Spanish war the Messen-
ger published statistics from army sur
geons as to the baleful effects of cigar
cite smoking among the men. Medical
examinations revealed the unfitness of
most cigarette smokers for military
service The Messenger then said that
all know that men by the several hum
dred thousand fought IN the late great
war in this country who chewed and
smoked tobacco. or used both, n in
great excess, and yet We're able to fight
and march through the years-to rough
it as % many have roughed it.
The surgeons report that the rejec-
tions are three times greater than in
1861, and the enormous rea is at
tributed entirely to the cigarette habit.
Then attend to this: The surgeons
say that outside of cigarette smokers
t ~rejections are actually less than
in the civil war" Ninety per cent. at
least of cigarette indulgers are found
incapacitated. 1t is a great way to
keep out of h army and navy, to
smoke cigarettes heavily and bring
about physical disability. if not men

There IS one other point too import
ant to be passed by. It IL the course
pursued by the republican judges in
forcing the result-in overriding the
law of the state. and for partisan pur-
poses. He said:
In all the history of North Carolina
no money was ever taken gu of the
treasury save by expressed mandate of
the legislature and the court knew il.
When it is considered the court was
advertent to all these facts and went
ahead and issued the writ, / ann not
surprised that the kind hearted gentle
man from Wilson said: L sorrowfuIly
know these judges did wrong"
II they did that they ought to be i'm
peached or estopped. Is there any way
to stop them?"
We suppose that the whole question
will be deliberately. exclusively dis
cussed IL the house orders Impeachment
and senate sits as a court TO hear and
decide.
Judge Graham. of Granville, made an
excellent speech. He made an extend
ed record Of the evidence in regard to
[ twisting and sauirming Of the
judges before they issued the manda-
mus" There is a good deal in his
speech of both interest and Importance.
We have not space to enlarge. but con-
tent ourselves with an extract or two.
The News-Observer says he discussed
the case with great ability and clear
ness We copy:
He read the constitution providing
that the legislature shall have exclu-
Sive control of the treasury. Also a
number of decisions in this state were
cited, (Wilson vs.. Jenkins. y n. c., 55;
Shaffer VS.. jenkins. n. c.. 275; Clement
VS.. State, II, n. c.. 144), holding that
claims against the state must be re-
ferred to the general assembly. On
this point Judge Graham read the head
notes o fthe decision in Clements VS..
State IN. c., H., 142):
Upon the decision of this court in
favor of the plaintiff upon a claim pre-
ferred against the state. the proper
course is for the clerk to transmit the
proceedings in the cause. together with
the judgment of the court. to the gov
ernor to be communicated by him to
the general assembly,
These judges had the constitution
and these decisions OF the supreme
court before them" continued Judge
ana II Jney tnem
they must have done so wilfully and
knowingly"
Referring to the treatment of NJ
Justice Clark by the three republicans
on the bench. Judge Graham said:
Also he told how the dissent of Judge
Clark had been suppressed and the
clerk prohibited from filing it with the
papers. This. Judge Graham denounc-
ed as '~dastarily conduct INT said he
couldn't see how n nan could hest
tate to vote for Impeachment under
such circumstances.
Now what is North Carolina going
to say to two judges who say to an as
sociate On the bench: You shan't let
the people know what you think of an
act Of this court?"
LAS they have Wilfuily violated the
constitution there is only one of two
courses open to us-vote down this res
olution or adopt it. There is no middle
ground. Either they nave violated the
law Or they have not. If they have
violated it, they should be as amenable
to the law as the humblest citizen in
the land.
