As to Respectable Jury BrIbers.
Chicago Chronicle.

There is some reason to doubt the COM
plete success OF the bar associations plan
to cure Justice shop evils by requiring all
lawyers in Justice courts to be members Of
The bar. 1t may be remembered that the
lawyers recently convicted Of bribing q
justice court jury were member OF the bar
In good standing. 1t is by no means the
pettifogging shyster who is the. most dan
gerous enemy Of Justice. Everybody knows
what to expect of him. When your highly
respectable practitioner goes a-bribing peo-
pie don't expect it-though they very well
might.

The recent decision or the supreme
court by which the control OF the fire
and police departments OF cities OF the
metropolitan class has been taken from
a board appointed by the mayor and
council and placed in the hands Of a
board appointed by the governor forces
the issue Of municipal home rule into
the forefront Of this years campaign in
Douglas county.
The appointment Of a metropolitan po-
lice force through commissioners named
by the governor was originally justified
on the ground that the police Of the
large cities should as far as possible be
removed from local political influences
and made coordinate with the state
militia in the enforcement Of law and
order. 1t was also deemed desirable to
have the police protected by regulations
to insure tenure Of office and prevent
removals except for cause. By placing
the appointment and discipline of the
police in the hands of a nonpartisan
board, responsible to the governor only,
eAAS NAfOANN Va AAN PSANN 0Ah ~ NNNN
was expected to be assured.
Experience has demonstrated that this
plan works out much better in theory
than In practice. Instead Of producing
stability and discipline, 1t has produced
constant mutations and contentious
within the police ranks and the selection
of commissioners has become a foot ball
Of partisanship and political factional-
ism.
When in addition to the control Of
the police and fire departments the
board is clothed with the power to
license the liquor traffic, the difficulty
of dealing with local conditions through
a governor-appointed commission Is in
tensiied.
The basic principle Of the Slocum
law is local option. Under that law
every community in Nebraska enjoys
the privilege of suppresslng or regulat'
ing the sale Of liquor in conformity
with local sentiment. In towns where
public sentiment is opposed to the traf'
fc altogether, the people elect town
boards known to be opposed to grant
ing any license; in towns where a ma
jority of the people favor the licensed
sale Of liquor, boards are elected favor.
able to license under the restrictions
fixed by law. This local option is
absolutely destroyed where the com
munity has no voice In the selection OF
the board, but must depend upon the
caprice Of the governor for the regula'
ton or suppression Of the liquor traffic
While the supreme court has e
directly passed on this point, the inter
vention of the governor in the exercise
of licensing powers is in positive con.
fict with the local option law, which
applies to every community in the state
alike. So long as the local option law
is on the statute books, 1t is as unjust
and in contravention Of the spirit and
letter of the law to except Omaha from
its operation as 1t would be to force
license upon towns whose people are
opposed to 1t.
The issue is therefore squarely pre-
sented in the coming election, whether
the voters of Omaha favor leaving the
control Of their police commission t.
the governor or whether they favol
municipal home rule. Upon that issue
every candidate for the legislature from
Douglas county will have to take .
stand.

A MORE EFFIcIEST NATIONAL Quart

A MORE EFFICIENT NATIONAL GUARD.
In his address to the National Guard
Of New Jersey, President Roosevelt
pointed out how much the country must
rely upon these citizen soldiers and
therefore the Importance of having
them we'll trained and disciplined and
always in a condition of efficiency that
would make them Immediately avail
able for service in case of war. He.
said that the regular army is and Of
necessity must be so small that the
great bulk of our troops must come, as
in the past they have come, from the
ranks of the people themselves, land in
forming those regiments the good done
by the presence in them of men who
have served faithfully in the National
Guard cannot be overestimated." He
appealed to those he addressed to do
their duty faithfully as national guards
men and the appeal is Of general appli-
cation.
Referring to the bill to promote the
efficiency Of the militia of the several
states which passed the house of repre-
sentatives. the president expressed the
belief that 1t will pass the senate at
Its next session and gave assurance that
he would sign 1t. This Is a measure
of very considerable importance from
a military point of view. 1t con-
templates giving the organized militia
in the states a military standing which
has been impossible for It to attain in
the past. BY the provisions Of the
bill the militia would become an or
ganizatlon thoroughly effective in case
Of great emergency. The effect would
be to make general the discipline which
In the past has only existed In isolated
| regiments in the National Guard. The
purpose is to modernize the militia OF
the country and to bring its organiza'
ton, armament and discipline into com.
plete harmony and accord with that OF
the regular army. The bill provides
that the militia shall be furnished by
the United States government with up
to-date guns and equipment, which
shall remain the property or the ma
tlonal government available for use IN
time Of war.
Congress has the constitutional author
ity to organize, equip and discipline thu

1t is really amusing, when one
stops to think Of it, how seldom one
finds current reading matter in doc
tors offices. To find periodical
less than year old is the exception
rather than the rule. The only two
explanations l have ever heard OF
the why and wherefore of this con-
dition of affairs is that the doctors
family demands the current litera
ture, or that the patients have a way
OF borrowing the magazine from
a Doctors Office, if they are Of cur
rent date. The first explanation,
fancy, is closer TO the actual reason,
and yet it does seem as if the av-
erage physician or dentist could al
ford to buy an extra copy Of a mag
azine now and then for the benefit
of those from whom he derives his
income. The mind is generally ab.
sorbed with unpleasant thoughts in
a Doctors Office, even when the
body is free from pain. And any
hing that can divert the mind
while waiting for doctor Is pos
tive God-send. Edward Box, in

which has developed between the
Senate Philippines committee and
the House committee on Insular
Affairs. The former has determined
to recommend a silver standard for
the islands, while the House COM
mittee holds out for a gold stand
ard. That the republicans them
selves, after their extravagant
claims in regard to the benefits to
be derived from the gold standard,
should find themselves divided on
such question is one Of the incon-
sistencies for which that party is
noted.
The minority Of the Philippines
committee will propose to the Sen
ate plan which provides for the in
dependence of the Filipinos as soon
as the president can claim that the
insurrection is ended. The $780,
000,0 900 which the United States
paid for the islands is to be paid
back to this government, and the
United State is to secure, by treaty,
pledges from all foreign nations that
the neutrality of the islands shall be
preserved. This is the plan with
which the democrats will confront
Senator Lodges imperialistic meas
ure on the floor of the Senate.
The news is being whispered in
the capitol lobbies and cloak rooms
that the president intends to exc
cute a coup d'etat which he believes
will secure his reelection, and will
rob the democrats OF one OF the is
sues which they intend to carry in
to the next national campaign. Mr..
Roosevelt's plan, as outlined to
some republican members who have
complained because no tariff revis-
ion is permitted at this session, is
to send message to this congress,
during its closing hours, recon-
mendlng tariff revision along the
most important lines. He will then
call, in extra session, the Fifty
eighth congress, for the express pur-
pose of amending the Dingley Tariff
schedules. AS the time indicated
is still year away there may be
many slips before Mr.. Roosevelt
carries his plan into execution, and
those republican members who ap-
preciate that they will have to face
angry constituencies nett Fall re-
gard it, at best, as rather cold COM

SILVER CREEK, March 81. When
Jesse Lawrence gets his eye on a
big, black mongrel dog, known to
the householders who feed him as
"Dick, there will be one less dog in
Silver Creek. But the dog seems to
have learned Of Lawrence's plan,
for he has been seen only once since
the vendetta was declared, and that
was at night.
Lawrence was crossing Park
square, clad in his shaggy fur coat,
when Dick pranced toward him,
head down and tail flying. A half
dozen other dogs followed. Hav-
ing no inkling Of the animals inter-
tions, Lawrence stopped to bestow
a caress Oh tie bounding leader,
whose friendliness he had never
questioned.
The dog growled and leaped at
him. The others did likewise, and
in jiffy Lawrence felt that he had
been transported to a Siberian wolf
run. He kicked, swore, howled,
drew his coat about him and called
for help. The dogs grew more fe-
rocious.
They tore bits Of his buckskin
coat away, leaped at his throat and
barked fiercely. There seemed to
be no escape. Fortunately, how
ever, John Knox and DR.. l.. p.
Austin came to his rescue, and with
feet and clubs drove away the
beasts, but not until the handsome
coat had suffered much damage.
II did not dawn on Lawrence for
some time that he had been mis-
taken for bear.
