A Judicial Farce.

The decision of the Douglas district court
in the primary ballot case renders impossi-
BILE a fair expression of opinion among
voters OF any party as to choice OF candi-
dates for United States senator. A list
OF names Of supporters Of Edward Rose
water had been filed, and It was proposed
that the ballot should show that the per-
sons on that list would be favorable to the
cause Of Mr.. Rosewater II they should
be selected delegates to the republican
state convention. Friends OF Mr. Crounse
and other candidates had presented other
lists
The court holds that the Rosewater dele
CATION cannot be printed on the ballot
by itself. but that the names OF all candi-
dates for delegates must be printed in
alpha betical order. This will make a bal
lot several yards long. It will compel the
friends Of Rosewater or Crounse to hunt
through hundreds OF names in order to
find the names of men who are favorable
to one or the other candidates.

Gated and make voting at the prima-
ries slow and irksome, but the way to
show what you think of the perpetra-
tors Of this outrage is to go to the

Rosewater delegation-no more and
no less-so that Douglas county will

RECORD nREAkme BANk DEPOSITS.

hEtOhD hhbAhING hANk DEPOklIS.
II is indeed gratifying that the re-
ports just made in response to the call
of the comptroller of the currency
show the national banks OF Omaha to
be holding more money on deposit
than az any previous time in their his
tory.
A year ago the combined deposits in
Omaha national banks totaled S32,-
469,5S5, whereas on the day desig
mated by the recent call the total de-
posits we're $37,447,624. The in
crease in deposits, comparing 1906
with 1905, is almost S5,0OO,OOO,
which in itself would furnish business
for a good, big bank.
In connection with these figures it
must also be remembered that during
the year elapsing three national banks
we're consolidated into one and that
the natural effect of such consolida-
ton would be to reduce the combined
business below that OF the separate
components. although in this case the
OAdCl ItNtIst mas pIONtu lIuSs
This fine showing evidences, as has
been pointed out, a remarkable in
crease in both deposits and loans, tell
ing Of prosperity for the banks in re-
fiex of prosperity of the state at large,
and OF the territory financially tribu-
tary to Omaha. 1t also evidences
more than this in attesting the sound
condition of Omaha's national banks
and the confidence their arrangements
command by reason of their conserva-
tive yet progressive methods. Our
people entrust their money to our
banks without the slightest hesitation
or question because they are satisfied
that they are built on solid foundation.
The fact that Omaha banks hold
more deposits than ever tells only half
the tale. The people Of Omaha and
their banks are both in better financial
condition than ever before.

Insulting ForeiEn-Born voters.

NtHlltlt EItSst NAIduHihNthJs
The Lincoln News in its discussion Of
the court decision that requires all the
candidates names to be rotated alpha
betically at the republican primary with
out any further grouping, says: Most
of those upon whom Mr.. Rosewater de-
Ponds for votes are foreign born. Inas-
much as any mistakes I'm making more
than eighty-three cross marks has the
effect to invalidate the ballot, and mas
much as it is diflcult to teach people who
are unfamiliar with the process of mark
ing the ballot as it should be done the
Rosewater following will suffer severely
by It." That is sheer nonsense and the
writer Of this know-nothlng effusion knows
1t well enough. Foreign born people can
also count or where would the skill of
that scribbler come from IL not from his
ancestors, who must have been foreign
born? What rustic simplicity.

dered a decision Saturday against the plan
Of voting for delegates to state and con-

names must appear upon the primary
ticket in alphabetical order This will
necessitate every voter making a choice
of each individual delegate and will I'M

1t means that in order for Edward Rose
waters supporters to, insure him a solid
delegation from Douglas county his friends
must take especial pains to vote for every
Rosewater man and pick his name from

TIE PrRE GOOD BILL.

Whatever may be the action of con-
gress on the pending pure food bill at
this session, it is question of only a
little time when a measure no less
strict and effective will become law.
The discussions in congress and in the
press have thoroughly convinced the
mass of the people of the necessity of
better regulation of the food supply,
whether for interstate and foreign COM
merce or for domestic consumption.
The relation of this subject to meat in
spection is intimate and important, and
comprehensive legislation, while it
may be STAYED of, is inevitable.
The pending bill, which has been
prepared with extreme care and DELHI

result of an effort which has been in
progress for many years. Its provis-
ions are drawn with view to protect
the public against injury and imposi-
ton in medicines and drugs, as well as
in foods, prescribing severe penalties
for deceit as to weights and measures
and quality But such a measure in
the degree that 1t would inure to pub
