4 SACRED GUARDIANSHIP.


The time is at hand when the lid must
be taken of the county court depository,
which for six years has probated the
estates Of more than 1920 deceased per
sons, whose aggregate wealth must have
amounted to from 100000 to $4,000
600. 1t is anticipated that the estates
of some of the wealthiest residents Of
Omaha and Douglas county, who have
passed the allotted three score and ten,
will have to be probated by the next
county judge, and hundreds Of families
of moderate means will also be subject
to the same guardianship.
Under our system in force by law, the
citizens of Douglas county will be COM
PEELED to decide for themselves at to-
morrow's primary in whose hands they
are willing to place this sacred trust.
AS the democrats have but one candi-
date on the official primary ballot, men,
bers Of that party have no other choice,
but republicans are privileged to choose
between one Of four candidates for
county judge. viz:
Charles Leslie, chief clerk OF Judge
Vinsonhaler, the present incumbent,
whose administration is shrouded in
deep mystery.
Charles T. Dickinson, whose record in
the same position in Burt county was
somewhat clouded.
B. L. Thomas, whose career in the late
legislature showed him to be shifty and
unreliable.
Charles w. Haller, who is reputed to
be an able lawyer Of unquestioned in
tegrity, although never before a candi-
date for Office by reason of his adher-
ence to his professional labors.
Before entering the booth tomorrow
every thoughtful republican voter should
ask himself these questions: Suppose
you knew you were to die within the
next two years, would you be willing
to place your wife and family and those
dependent upon your savings In the
hands of any man whom you could not
implicitly trust? If you have no prop
erty and have nobody dependent upon
you. would you consider it just and
proper to foist into the office of probate
Judge an Enthusiastically man and by
your vote help to place the widows and
orphans of Douglas county at the mercy
Of any man of doubtful integrity?

Preserve the Indian Names.
Washington Star


The suggestion has been made that when
Indian territory shall become a state or
part of a state the new state shall be called
Sequoyah, In memory of the half-breed
Cherokee who invented the syllable alpha
bet of the Cherokee language and who
performed other noteworthy services for
his people. Whether the suggestion is good
or bad is not now to be determined, but
certain It is that a conspicuous argument
against the adoption of the name is I'M
sound. II is argued that it is an Indian
name and hard to pronounce. Mercy! A
citizen Of the United States to urge this
as reason against a geographical name in
the United States! If there is anything in
the power OF precedent or the force OF
example this is not an objection to but an
argument for the name Sequoyah For

1t is so hard to get an honest man to
run for office that men who want good
government should rejoice when an op-
portunity presents itself now and then
to secure the nomination of an honest
man. For that reason Charles w. Hal
Ter, who has never sought office and
only reluctantly, after much urging. con-
sented to allow his name to be used as
candidate for county judge, should
receive the active and earnest support
of every republican who desires to ele-
vate the standard of our judiciary and
place the heritage of Douglas county

The republican state convention en-
dorsed direct primary nominations and
the eyes of the state will be on Omaha
as it makes its first experiment under
the new direct primary law. Direct pri-
maries are looked to give the people a
chance to make their own selections Of
party nominations, but If it should work
out in Omaha that direct primaries mean
simply the usurpation of the power to
nominate candidates by a little star
chamber coterie Of Fontsnelle chiefs, the
cause of the direct primaries will likely
suffer a decided setback.

foist William B. Ten Eyck on the citi-
zens Of Omaha for judge of the police
court in view of his notorious lack Of ca

Ten Eyck and his competitor, Bryce
Crawford, comparisons would be odious.
Bryce Crawford has experience on the
bench, both as a Justice of the peace
and as acting police judge, while Ten
Eycll has absolutely no experience as a
judicial officer.

REQUESTS TO BE HONoRED.
Effect of the Chinese Boycott on
American Goods.
RF0OllVp Ea

Brooklyn Eagle.
Secretary Taft went to China primarily
to see what could be done to smooth away
the difficulties created by the native boy
colt on. American goods. To that end he
has had several conferences with Chinese
merchants. Naturally price was demanded
for the concession he asked. Unexpectedly
the price was moderate. The Chinese are
not disposed to be vindctive. The secre-
tary> was requested to secure a more re-
stricted definition of the word laborer in
the exclusion act, to have the law, or the
Interpretation Of It, so modified that the
term in question could not be stretched to
cover commercial assistants who come here
in the interest of Chinese firms or to enter
the employ of Chinese merchants already
established in our cities. Also an assur-
ance was required that certificates granted
by American consuls in China to emigrat-
ing Chinese should be considered final and
should not be subject to revision here
Also, a more liberal treatment was re-
quested for Chinese holding passports, and
the secretary was urged to improve the
travesty on accommodations now provided
at some ports of entry for immigrants
All of these requests have been approved
by Mr.. Taft, who will submit them to the
president. Most OF them can be honored
by executive order alone and without an
appeal to congress. But should the sane
ton of that body be needed to secure full
compliance with the wishes of the Chinese
merchants we have little doubt that the
lesson so recently administered through
the commercial guilds will exercise a most
compelling effect. When the American
pocket nerve is touched nothing is allowed
long to stand in the way Of relief. The
agony is too acute to be indefinitely pro-
longed. Congress will be made fully aware
of its responsibility in the premises.
