MATTERS OF INTEREST TO ALL
CITIZENS.
-FOUR JUDGES ARE the PRIZE
Will Gov. Sheldon Name Two Repuo-
lieans and Two Democrats 10 Now
the LEADING Question.

Governor Sheldon. according to the
Lincoln Journal. Is supposed to be d.
viding his time between consideration
of the proposed extra session Of the
legislature and the appointment Of
four judges Of the supreme count. BE
tween times he holds hearings for
convicts who desire pardOns and per-
forms endless routine work in his Of
fee
The meeting of the supreme court
brought to Lincoln host OF attorneys
and there was much whispering about
the corridors of the state house where
the lawyers were gathered. The ap-
preaching meeting of the state bar as
ISOLATION which will recommend four
men for governors consideration adds
to the interest of the situation. Wheth-
er or not the governor will name two
democrats and two republicans is also
a matter that interests every appli
cant for appointment. Nineteen names
are already before the governor for
his consideration and the state bar as
sociatiOn may add some to this num-
Der.
1t is said by persons in authority
that the three members of the SUI
preme court, If requested to give their
opinion. will ask the governor TO ap-
point two democrats and two republic
ans What the bar association will do
will not be known till the membership
expresses view. Governor Sheldon
has never promised to appoint two II
the judges from the democratic party.
but he promised to give the matter
consideration and use his sense of
justice. Among the nineteen names al
ready before him are those of j. j.
Sullivan and Judge B. F. Good Of Wa
hoo, both democrats. Judge Sullivan
has had long experience on the SUI
preme bench and is believed to have
good show for appointment. Judge
Good has served nine years on the
district bench. Both republican and
democratic attorneys of his district
and all over the state have called on
Governor Sheldon in behalf of Judge
Good. Another democrat who is ex-
pected to make strong showing IN
the way of endorsements is George l..
LOomis of Fremont. The republican
candidates are numerous. Judge Frost
of Lancaster is being urged by attor-
neys. Judge Fawcett and Judge
Duffie of Omaha are considered strong
candidates and Commissioner Root Of
Cass and Judge S. HI. Sedgwick OF
York. formerly judge of the supreme
court. are placed in the leading class.

REFORMIN GERMANY
MINISTRY RESPONSIBLE TO PAR
LAMENT SOON TO OPEN.
THE EMPEROR IS IN CONTROL
Advance Liberals Do Not Anticipate
Mich Of importance From the
Present ReiehstAa.

Berlin.-The debate in the Reichstal
on the motions Introduced by the 90
cialists and radicals. demanding
changes in the constitution, with the
object Of making the chancellor and
ministers responsible to Parliament
and giving the sole power to the
Reichstag to declare war. will prob
ably begin on December 2. The de-
bate is expected to last one day. ol
two days at the most.
The advanced liberals, whose aim is
to convert the German political system
into q government responsible to Par
lament, do not anticipate much from
the present Reichstag because in the
days when feeling ran the highest the
party leaders would not agree to urge
even the simplest resolution Of cen.
sure or inquiry. The radicals and so
cialists count upon making their first
great campaign in the elections Of
1912, unless the house is dissolved
sooner.
The power Of the associated mon.
archies forming the German empire is
entrenched in two principal ways-in
the Bundesrath, which has equal legis-
lative powers with the Reichstag, and
i'm the conservative and clerical par
ties, which have, under the ancient
system of the Reichstag electoral dis.
tricts, the means for holding the ma
jority in that body by about one-third
the votes cast.
The Bundesrath, which consists of
flfty-eight members appointed by the
sovereigns of the states Of Germany,
except one each from Hamburg. Bre-
men and Lubbock, stands directly
across the path of a government re-
sponsible to the elected represent
atives of the people. The kings, grand
dukes and princes who rule the fed
Grated states, also through ministers
responsible to them alone, while will
ing to unite in limiting the freedom of
initiative and speech on the part Of
the king of Prussia as emperor. are
one with him in their determination
to resist representative government.
Fourteen votes in the Bundesrath
against any amendment to the consti-
tuition will sufilce for its rejection. The
emperor, as king of Prussia, dominates
seventeen of the members and, as a
consequence. there is no possible
chance for the adoption of an amend
ment without his consent.

International Monument to Peace.

The first monument ever erected to
commemorate the cause of interna-
tional peace stands upon the highest
point Of the Andes, between Chile and
Argentina, almost fifteen thousand
feet above the sea, and its erection
marks the close Of long dispute be-
tween the two countries over their
boundary line. Eight years ago these
two nations were on the verge of war,
building vast warships and spending
sums reported as five dollars per
capita in the preparation for war.
About this time an Argentina bishop,
Monsenor Benevente, made an appeal
on Easter Sunday for peace, and fol-
lowed 1t with the suggestion that the
ancient quarrel should be settled for
ever, and an enormous statue Of the
Christ, the Prince of Peace, should
be erected upon the very highest
point of the Andes, so that both ma
tions might see it and be reminded
OF their VOW. Accordingly, a statue
twenty-six feet high was designed
and cast from old bronze cannon and
carried on gun carriages over the
high mountains to it's destinations
high mountains to its destined abode.
1t was unveiled on March 13, 1904,
with thousands Of troops and pill
grims present, and it stands over
looking the heights of the world, a
mighty symbol Of the peace that
Christianity has been so long pro-
claiming and SO barbarously slow In
effecting for mankind.
