CHANCELLOR BULLOCK.
[Selmer Democrat. !


Judge Bullock has served about
four years as Chancellor OF this
division, and is the regular nomi-
nee of the Democratic party for re-
election in August election for the
eight year term. He has been a
lifelong Democrat and a great
worker for the party and its sue
cess He has held several offices
of trust and honor, but in none of
them has his special fitness for the
position been more marked than in
the important office of Chancellor.
He is a lawyer of distinguished
ability and wide experience with
courts and legal problems. His
clear and ready grasp of the issues
in controversy, his thorough legal
learning, his untiring industry and
tact for working out details COM
bine to make him one of the very
ablest Chancellors in the State.
But his uniform and dignified
courtesy to members of the bar
who come before him contributes
more, if possible, than his legal at
tainments, to his great popularity.
No lawyer is great enough to feel
in his presence that the court is
not his equal, and none so hnmble
and inexperienced that he need
fear the slightest embarrassment
in the hands of the court where
Bullock presides.
He exhibits none of the petu-
lance aud Impotence SO often
shown by presiding Judges, and i'll
temper, hasty criticisms and angry
postnlations are as foreign to him
his they should be to all judges of
our courts of record. Patient,
painstaking, and always fair, every
case before him is sure of hear
ing that will carry satisfaction even
to the unsuccessful lawyer and
litigant.
His merits no doubt will insure
him the solid Democratic vote of
the county and many votes of the
more conservative Republicans
who know his worth.

ISSUE DODGED.
]LOs Angeles Herald. ]

The high cost of living is to be
probed by Congress. This means
that the machine members of the
Ways and Means Committee of the
House intend to fimham the pub
lie by a bogus and misleading
investigation of the increased
cost of living.
An investigation conducted by a
committee composed at least in
part of leading economists chosen
from various universities light
amount to something, and the re-
port by them have permanent value
in the biography of useful Ameri-
can craftsmanship.
But, with the same sickening and
disgusting faulty which leads
chronic Office holders and profess
sionai statesmen" to DODGE THE
PEOPLE AND EyADE THE ISSUE at
every turn Of the political road,
these salaried public servants in
Washington propose TO make a
wretched farce of the investigation
and to conduct it in such manner
that it may mot work to the disad-
vantage of Republicans in cleo
tions next fall"
The political opportunities or
chances of publicity revenued Re-
publicans should have 10 more to
do to with the economic crisis than
the last trade of the Shah of Per-
STA, What should it matter to the
beefsteak buyer whether or not
these wretched office holders ale
to be allowed to continue TO draw
their salaries and enjoy their innu-
merable lucrative perQuisites, of
the nature and extent of which the
dear people unfamiliar with Wash
ington and it's ways little dream.
The concern of the beefsteak
buyer is the price of meat, and its
general effect on the ndustrialism
and the wages of the people of the
States. These hypocritical Wash
ington government hacks would
have us believe it is more import
ant to keep them in the births they
enjoy than to give the people n
square deal.
Interesting, isn't it, to realize
the attitude OF Republicans who
oppose and thwart long, serious
thorough investigation may be
traced to their relations to the
Beef Trust?
Hey! Huh!

twenty acres were ablaze, causing loss
Of SLOOOoOO and making 500 people homeless.
The fire started at Railroad avenue and

were no fatalities. Sixty horses were
burned in O stable on Railroad avenue.
The district had long been considered a
dangerous risk and rates were so high

The fire department estimates the loss at
$500, 900. None of the buildings destroyed
was of a substantial character, half of
them having been rushed up twenty years

letter was full of endearing references to

to his home this morning.

Porter Charlton, whose wife was found
in Lake Como brutally murdered is an
Omaha hoy. His father, Paul Charlton, was
for twenty-five years prominent member
of the Omaha bar and was a resident here
I'D to five and one-half years ago, when
he succeeded another Nebraskan, Judge
Charles Magoon as law officer of the
bureau of insular affairs, Department of
War" Judge Magoon at that time became
governor of Panama.
Porter Charlton was, accordingly, O boy
of 10 years when he left here with his
father, who had been a member of the
law firm Of Crofoot Charlton & Hail.
and later Of Charlton, Montgomery &
Hall.
Mr.. Paul Charlton secured his appoint
ment in Washington partly because he had
been a classmate at Yale of President Taft
then secretary of war, and partly through
the influence of former United States
Senator Willard.
Mr.. Paul Charlton's first wife and mother
of Porter Charlton died while the family
lived in Omaha and Mr. Charlton has since
remarked. The family lived here on
Thirtieth street, between Mason and Pa
cific. Mr. Charlton was a member of the
Omaha club and he and his wife were
prominent socially.
He came to Omaha in 1888 or 1889. coming
from Pennsylvania, where his father had
been a-well known lawyer and judge. Mr.
Charlton had considerable money when
he arrived In Omaha, but lost a good deal
of it in real estate ventures.

Mr.. Charlton, who is law officer of the

From the few details available / be-

From the cheerful tone OF his last letter,
l am inclined to believe that some one,
possibly one of her former admirers who
followed them to Italy. is at the bottom OF
the tragedy.
MY son is about 20 years old and for
some time had been suffering from tuber-
culosis. He left Washington in December,
1905. and went to New York, where he OBJ
tanned employment in the foreign depart
