Judge Humphreys. 1t follows:
November %, 1908.
My Dear Chief Justice: l am glad
to avail myself of the opportunity af-
forded me by your valued letter of
the 10Th instant, of saying that 1 am
unalterably opposed to the enactment
of statute, giving the court disere-
tion to refuse a new trial, whenever,
in its opinion, the erroneous admission
or rejection of evidence. whether i'm
material or material, ought not to
have effected the verdict
1t is true that both President Roose-
welt and Judge Taft advocate the pas
sage of such a statute, applicable to
the Federal courts. But it must be
remembered, that the judges of those
courts (Federal) represent, as a rule,
the pick and flower of the American
bar, men who have studied and know
the law as a science, and who have
enjoyed wide and varied experience at
the bar in great causes. The unim-
portant errors which such courts, on
rare occasions, may commit ought not,
possibly, TO call for a new trial where
it is clear (but only where it is clear)
that, even if such error had not been
committed, the jury would not have
reached any other conclusion.
Our trial judges in Hawaii have not,
as a rule, been up to the standard re-
quired in other communities of those
occupying high judicial stations. We
have had some trial judges here who,
while knowing something about the
Of %h.n larw 1.
perienee at the bar, and we have had
some who, when appointed, were not
old enough to keep their noses clean;
and we have had Others who, while
old enough to be judges, did not know
the difference between a fee tail and
a female.
This state of affairs has made the
position of Circuit Judge in this Ter
ritory cheap one, and can not give
my assent to any legislation which
would, in my Judgment, tend to still
further cheaper that great office. The
legislation to which you refer will
make our community and the bar more
apathetie, if possible, than they are
now, in regard to judicial appoint.
ments, because in the final ANALYSIS
such law would give the Supreme
Court the last guess as to whether the
jury would or would not have reached
a particular conclusion, in spite of the
ignorance and the errors of the trial
court; moreover, such legislation
would, to my mind, tend to discourage
the study of the rules of evidence and
the principles of jurisprudence upon
which they depend, by the bar as well

H. W. YATES'PLAN FOR PAVING
Give City Power to Pave and Assess
Cost to Property.
EXPERTS TO PRESERVE THEM
Have Commission of Scientific Men
Who Can Keep the Thorough
fares in Proper COndi-
tiOn, He Says.

Omaha ought to perfect some plan for
paving the streets and keeping them in
good order" declared Henry w. Yates.
president of the Nebraska National bank,
in explanation of his remarks at the pre-
liminary meeting of the city charter re
vision committee. Instead of wrangling
and talking and multiplying words on such
things as commission plars of government,
we ought to get together in a practical,
common sense way and see what can be
done about our streets.
My idea is that a law should be passed
giving the city the power to pave the
streets ard assess the cost upon the ada
cent property. Then the preservation of
the paving in proper condition ought to
be under the supervision Of a department
with power to act and this department
should be made up OF men who are experts
in the science of preserving city streets
in the best possible condition at the small
est possible cost. This is what is done In
foreign cities where the streets are ger.
orally in perfect condition.
The citizens have no fault to find as a
rule with the general tax, bu. the special
tax Is not only high but we seem to get no
good from it.
I'VE have the p~rettiest city in America
If We only administer it wisely. Nature
has been good to us. II each Of US citl-
zens were to administer his own private
affairs as the public moneys ere admin
istered in many instances he would speedily
be known as an ignorant, shiftleas ne'er-
do-well, unworthy the respect Of his neigh
bors.
Il want TO see a law passed giving the
city power TO pave the streets and giving
an expert department power TO act in keep
ing them repaired and clean"

HEAPING GOALS OF FIRE
Jacks VIII Banquet Dunn 10 show
Jims spite His Faults They
Love Him sill.

ls Jehovah Dunn, whose Bryan-edited
speech placed Mr.. Bryan in nomination at
Denver, is to be the guest Of honor at a
banquet given by the Jacksonian club Sat
urday night.
But that isn't the main point. 1t will be
remembered that the selection Of delegates
to the national convention threw the con-
fllcting factions OF local democracy into
turmoil and when the battle was over both
claimed the victory. While It was a little
difficult to see with the naked eye the
runs on the score board made by the Jacks,
they did make one hit; they forced the
Jims to take Dunn. in spite Of the fiery
declarations by the Jims that they would

DahIman Says Bryan Is Enough Ex-
element for Lincoln to
Have.

Mayor Dahlman expresses some regret on
account Of the referring to the executive
committee, by the state committee, the
matter of selecting state headquarters for
the democratic party. The mayor wants
the headquarters in Omaha. He says that
with Bryan at Lincoln there will be enough
enthusiasm there without the headquarters
and intimates that with the headquarters
in this city his own campaign would be
helped some.
Mayor Dahlman has nothing to say OF the
report that A. c.. shallenberger wants him
to withdraw from the gubernatorial race
because Sh~allenberger and Dahlman have
their brand on the same bunch" The
mayo is so confident Of winning the nomi-
nation that he would just as soon have a
dozen competitors as not, differing with
shallenberger in this respect. Mr.. Dahlman
seems to think that shallenberger is weak
ening by reason Of his wanting a clear
field.

wade through blood up to their necks be-
fore they would compromise.
But Dunn was a Jacksonian, the Jacks
said. So did the Jims until they found the
futility of further fighting and when they
saw it was a case of Dunn or c. ]. Smyth
for official spokesman at Denver, they took
Dunn, dug up a lot of records four years
old and by them proceeded to prove, for
sooth, this Ignatius was not a Jack, but a
Jim, a dyed-in-the-wool Jim, and had been
all his life.
So Ig. Dunn goes out to Denver and gives
his defamation, but as he ascends the plat
form he pins a Jim badge on one breast
and a Jack badge on the other. That
formal mark of fraternal peace had no eff
feet on either Jack or Jim, however. Jims,
who froze Jacks out at Denver with ice
berg frigidity, advertised that the man who
nominated Bryan was a ~simon-pure Jim
sonian and came home footing their horns
and rubbing it into the Jacks.

-Bedecked with war paint. beads,

Sioux Indians rode wildly into town
from the north just at noon today TO
hold their annual poJ WOW and war
dance. An aged buck carried the stars
and stripes which is always in evidence
at their pow vows. The bucks yelled
their yip-yip cry while the squaws and
young reds chanted a weird song as
they Aparaded through the principal streets.
All afternoon the streets were crowded
with the dancers and onlookers. The
Indians danced before every store and
at the end of each dance went inside for
some treat while another educated abor-
igine, all same like white brother, passed
the hat through the crowd Of peoplc
The attendance at his pow WOW is
smaller than in most years, but the paint
is just as thick, the interest just as keen
and the tom tom drum has the same
steady beat as in the lays that have gone

day over Nebraska,

Is Nebraska framing up for a bumper
corn crop?
This is the question heard on all sides
Thursday after the soaking rain on the
Wymore and McCook divisions of the
Burlington Wednesday night. A heavy
rain was reported all over the southern
and western parts of Nebraska Wednes-
day night, and although il may delay
threshing a little, it practically assures a
big corn crop. The superintendent Of the
McCUok division OF the Burlington had
TO raise his estimate on a corn crop 10
per cent last week because of the splendid
corn weather. All that was then lacking
was a little rain and the rain has come.
The rain OF Wednesday night was reported
as one Of the best boosts the corn crop
has had this year and 1t is now probable
the superintendent Of the southern divi-
sions will again have to materially raise
their estimates.
