Grading Literary Power.

Dean Smaller Mathews says that the
newspaper shapes the popular mind
more by its headlines than by its ed

thors impress by the title of their
books. not by their contents. artists by
their themes. rather than by their ex-

Supc: sEDcWIcx AS LAWYER
AND JuRlST.

AND JURIsT.
It is said of Judge Sedgwick, one OF
the republican nominees for the SUI
preme bench. that, in his thirty-one
years practice in Nebraska. exclusive
Of his service on the bench, he has
been SO successful in prosecuting
cases against corporations that his
services have been sought in nearly
every case of this kind that has been
brought in York county.
He believes In compelling all per.
sons and corporations to obey the
law. and those more familiar with his
services on the bench unite in saying
that he IL entirely free from prejudice
or fear. and that his decisions are not
Affected by the personnel. either Of the
parties or the attorneys. He Is not
afraid to decide q case upon it,
merits, and for this reason he is popu-
ar as Judge with the best lawyers in
the state. and all who are familiar
with the work Of the courts.
The decision Of the Supreme Court,
sustaining the present railway COM
mission. was written by Judge Sedg.
wick. and his reasoning is so clear and
conclusive that 1t was accepted at
once by the bar Of the state. and the
interested parties. It is to this deci.
sion that Nebraska owes the exist.
ence of the railway commission and
that the public is enabled to exer-
else control over common carriers
and all public service corporations
through the commission system.

MARKING OF BALLOT.
SOME QUESTIONS THAT NEED II
be PASSED UPCN.
Up TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Homesteaders In Western Part o.
State May Appeal to saekett Law
to Secure Opening Of Roads.

INQUIRIES have been addressed 10
the secretary Of state regarding the
marking of the ballot In the coming
election. and the secretary il waiting
for the attorney geLsral to pass on the
question before making . statement.
One party desired to know for
whom q vote would count II voter
should make q cross In the circle At
the head of the ballot and then vote
for one candidate for judge on an
other ticket.
Without having given the matter
any study the legal department Of the
state said of hand it would appear
that the party after whose name the
mark was made would receive the
vote and the candidates on the other
ticket for the same ONCE would not
receive the vote.
For instance. IL a democrat should
make a cross in the democratic circle
at the head of the ballot and then
vote for one of the candidates on the
republican ticket for Judge. it is the
belief of the legal department that the
vote would count for the one repub-
lican candidate for Judge and for all
the candidates on the democratic
ticket except the three judges. Or the
election board might throw out the
ballot entirely, though it would be an
injustice to the candidate after whose
name a cross has been made, but no
more so than to two of the judicial
candidates on the other ticket, for
each person is entitled to vote for
three candidates for judge.
