Exnedite che Session Laws.
Among other provisions Of our Ne
constitution is this.

Among other provisions Of our Ne
braska constitution is this:
All laws shall be published in book form
within sixty days after the adjournment
Of each session and distributed among the
several counties In such manner as the leg
~islsture may provide.
In the past this constitutional re-
quirement has been observed only in
the breach without regard to whether
the responsible officers have been re-
pu~blicans, democrats or populists.
We wonder whether any improve
ment on this bad record will be forth
coming this time. The late legislature
enacted an exceptionally large number
OF new laws with which the people af-
fected ought to have a chance to get
acquainted before they become opera
tive. The intention of the constitu-
ton trainers was to have the session
laws available and accessible all over
the state at least thirty days before
they should go into effect. There is
yet time to get under the sixty-day
limit If the proper authorities exert
the pressure at the right place.

THE HOUSE OF MEMORIES.
Pail Mall Gazette.

Pail Mall Gazette.
There's a little house in a little street
A little way from the sea,
And, oh, when I'm weary of all the woisA
It's there that / fain would be.
For the world is full of sorrow and care
AND the darkness lies before;
And the little house Is full of the dreams
That were ours, but are ours no more.
In the little street In the long ago
In the little house by the sea,
We dreamed Of the days that had no dawn,
OF the years that shall never be.
But you were young and I was young.
And we dreamed and had no care,
And dearer and better than life has been
Were the dreams that came to us there
And so, when I'm weary of all the world,
OF its sordid hopes and it's pain,
! think OF the little house that was ours,
And sigh to be there again.
'Twere heaven enough II we found our
dreams
And dreamed them again, maybe.
In the little house in the little street,
A little way from the sea.

Chancellor Avery.

The action of the Board of Regents
in electing Acting Chancellor Avery to
be chancellor of our State university
is an endorsement of his administra-
tion as temporary head of the institu-
ton and a vote of confidence that will
be approved by all the friends of the
university.
When DR.. Avery was put in charge,
on the retirement of Chancellor An
drews, 1t was in the nature of an ex-
pertinent, although with the under
standing and expectation that he
should be given a fair opportunity to
demonstrate his fitness for the posi-.
ton with a view to earning a perma'
nent appointment.
That he has been able in such com.
paratively short time to impress his
qualities of leadership and to establish
a firm grasp of the many difficult
phases of the university work neces'
sary to its successful guidance t~estifies
to his persistent and well directed en-
ergy and t~actfulness in handling the
delicate questions constantly pre-
scented.
Having demonstrated that he hlls
the requirements of scholarship and
executive ability, DR.. Avery adds the
additional qualification of being in the
prime of life, with a full period OF use
~fulness ahead of him, The University
of Nebraska is bound to grow and has
a chancellor now who gives every
promise of growing with it.

CRITICISM OF JUDGES,
Judicial Test of the Right to Be
Made in Ohio.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Shall the law permit criticism Of a Judges
record in office, or must he, coming up for
reelection. be considered immune from at
tack on account of work already done on
the bench? This. in effect. Sppears to be
the question at stake in the Thatcher dis
barment case from Toledo to be heard by
the supreme court OF the state on the nrst
Of next month.
II the public were to be barred from re-
viewing the record of a judge who offers
himself for reelection he would evidently
enjoy at the outset a tremendous advan-
tage over any rival who might desire to
dlsplace him. On the other hand, one who
should try to defeat a judge already oceu-
plying the bench would have an almost in
superable obstacle to overcome. His own
record. character and capabilities would be
open TO attack by the psrtisans of the
Judge, while his own friends would be pro-
hibited from returning the fire. The bat
teries of one army would be silenced by
law, while the army itself would be ex-
posed 10 bombardment by opposing forces.
This does not appeal to one as a fair prop
osition.
As long as judges are elected by popular
vote for definite terms the public will be
inclined to insist upon its light Of criti-
cism. II is conceivable that under a sys-
TEN by which judges were appointed by
executive authority and for life terms-as
In the case of supreme justices OF the
United States-criticism of judges, individ-
ually or collectively, might he construed
into an attack on the court, ending TO break
down respect for law.
However. the principle Of elective courts
is so firmly established in this country that
II is likely to survive. at least for a long
time. The public elects its judges, as 1t
does It's congressman and mayors. 20 serve
the public interests. While one should be
more circnmspect, perhaps, IN expressing
his opinions of a Judge than in discussing
a civil officer, yet the right would appear
TO be the same-that the public may ques-
ton its creatures.

End of Debate in Sight.


There are numerous signs that the
debate In the senate over the tariff
bill is gradually drawing to a close
and that from now on action will be
more rapid. Up to within a few days
there has been no effort to force or
even urge the voting or schedules,
but full opportunity has been afforded
to all who desired to talk to fill up
space in the Congressional Record.
The president is quoted as saying that
he thought the bill would be passed
and sent to him by June 20, which is
sooner than most people had calcu-
lated.
Senator Aldrich and other leaders in
the upper house within the last few
days, without being insistent, have
asked senators to permit more rapid
disposal of the schedules and the dis
position is apparent to do so. II the

views reflect the practical assurance
that out of the conference between
the two houses will come a bill which
will fairly meet the demands of the

official Statement Puts an End
to Wild Conjecture

Turner, N. Y, Aug. 31.-The trend
of opinion regarding Edward H. Har-
riman's condition Is demonstrated by
a relaxation of the intense interest
the community has recently displayed
In that subject. Another indication
quite as significant is the rapidly thin
ming ranks Of the newspaper men who
were rushed here last Friday when
Wall street was first startled by the
report that the railroad man was about
to undergo a critical operation.
The family has broken silence and
through their chaplain, Rev. J. Holmes
McGuiuess, sent message to the
press that effectually halted wild con-
lectures. At the same time there is
little doubt that the financier's condi.
ton is not entirely satisfactory. And
of all the stories spread abroad dur.
ing the past three days only one per
sists. This is that last Friday noted
specialist, perhaps several specialists
held a consultation at Arden House
What their verdict was can only be
conjectured, but If they came to con
slider an immediate operation they de
cided against it.
Mr.. Hartman seems to be in no i'm
mediate danger, but his. lie must b'
regulated with extreme care.
