WANTS MARATHON
RACE FOR OFFICE
Democratic Candidate Defies
Opponent to Follow His Trail
for Three Days
Especial to Tho Heraldl

SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, Oct. ga
Marathon race with the atmosphere of
the wild and woolly days of the sixties
will decide who is to be the next sheriff
of San Bernardino county if the chal-
lenge and defy of George Miller, can
didate for that office on the Demo-
cratic ticket is accepted by John
Ralphs, incumbent. Miller would settle
the affair before the November cleo
ton. Tonight he issued a public chal-
lenge to Sheriff Ralphs, defying him
to enter into three days endurance
race across ths San Bernardino noun
tains. Miller says he will race not
only the sheriff, but Under Sheriff
Ward and the head deputy of the Of
fee, George Hewins. He would let
Ward race him the first day, and the
second day take on Hewins, and the
third day pick up Ralphs for the last
lap. Miller agrees to quit the race for
sheriff If he does not reach the finish
ahead of Ralphs on the third day. He
makes the provision for the race either
on foot or horseback.
Miller is a pioneer of the early days,
and is seeking election prepared to
lead a posse against a band of Indians
or a gang of stage robbers. He be-
lieves in the wild and woolly ways Of
the early days.

.sOLONS ADJOURN
SPECIAL SESSION
Assembly Votes Reward for Dy-
namiterS' Capture-Senate
Extends Coincidence

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 5.-The special
session of the legislature came to
close this morning after a three days
session, during which time consider
ably more than three words, as set out
IN the convention call, were inserted
in constitutional amendment No. 1 for
the separation of state and county
taxes. BY opening up the entire sub
ject matter of the amendment which
was forced by the assembly, the legis-
lature made a few important changes
which will better satisfy persons who
at first were opposed to it,
Senator John S. Curtin of Tuolumne,
regarded as the father of the measure,
expressed himself today as being de-
lighted with the turn of affairs because
the rate on banks is now placed where
it belongs, the public demand that a
two-thirds vote rather than a three
fourths vote be required to change the
tax rate has been recognized, small
counties that would have suffered from
the change in tax system have been
protected from loss and other changes
made to obviate Objectionable features
Governor Gillett sent message to
both houses expressing his appreciation
at the final outcome, believing that
the measure has been materially
strengthened. Finding that the senate
refused to join in a $4,000 reward for
the arrest and conviction of the person
or persons responsible for the wrecking
of the Los Angeles Times plant and
killing many people early Saturday
morning, the assembly today voted the
entire sum from it's contingent fund,
instead of $4,000 as at first proposed
when the upper house was expected to
contribute a like amount. The senate's
resolution, extending coincidence, calls
upon the governor to post the reward.

HOKE SMITH WINS
GEORGIA ELECTION
Former Governor Comes Back
and Defeats His Old 0p-
ponent, Brown

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 5.-Hoke Smith
was today elected to serve second
term as governor Of Georgia. 1ncom-
plete returns indicate that Governor
J. M. Brown, who defeated Smith two
years ago and was defeated for the
nomination in the Democratic primary
this year, but whose name was today
placed before the voters as an inde-
pendent Democratic candidate, received
majorities in two counties only.
All the regular Democratic nominees
for state and county offices We're elect
ed, the Socialist vote being inconse-
quential.
Three constitutional amendments ap-
parently were adopted by large ma
jorities.
Governor Brown stated before the
election that the action of Thomas e.
Watson and others in placing his
name before the voters as an inde-
pendent was without his authority and
announced he would support the reg
ular party nominees.

Francisco aviator, engaged to make
ascensions in dirigible balloon dur
ing the county fair here, lost his

corporate operations and provide SUCH
conditions as give relief from abuses
complained Of. It is impossible that
anything more could be accomplished
by legislation initiated by the people.
What is true in regard to railroad
control is true in other directions. A
careful survey OF the various programs
in other states. where the initiative
prevails or where socialistic or other
reform legislation is suggested, fails
to disclose a single advantage to the
people that is not fully enjoyed in Ne
braska And all Of this has been ac-
complished under the methods that
are so roundly denounced by the advo-
Gates of a change. This being true,
the necessity for the initiative and
referendum seems so remote that the
wonder is it gets any support what
ever. Nebraska has enough to con-
tend with without being plunged into
experimental reforms.

Up to the King.

Results Of the British elections
have not materially changed the politi-
cal complexion Of Parliament. Pre-
mier Asquith's coalition party-nation-
ais liberals and laborites-while it
made some gains, failed Of decisive
majorities. Its advance is checkmated
by the opposition. So the government,
while It has not sustained a defeat,
has not achieved a victory that enables
it to complete its program of reform
ing the House of Lords without the
royal prerogative. 1t is now for the
king to say which side shall win. With
him rests the final arbitrament Of the
issue, the anti-veto bill. He has the
power to create enough liberal lords
to force that measure through the
upper chamber and thus deprive the
House OF Lords of its hereditary func-
tions Whether the king will respond
to such demand remains to be seen.
The premier has faith that he will.
If the ultimate result of the vote is
WudI lbLuluS huW AOIdSEhbt EIblhlCA
Asquith and his ministry will be de-
pendent more than ever upon the Irish
party as led by Mr.. Redmond. That,
too, puts up to these Irish leaders an
issue, the anti-veto bill. He has the
safely be evaded. To be sure, If they
prove true to their convictions, they
will grant no concession until they
have secured what they require to
perfect their own home rule program.
Here the situation becomes rather
complex and very interesting. It ap-
pears to be remarkable alternative
that confronts King George. Either
he must give his guarantee of addi-
tional liberal lords to override the
wish of the tories and thereby give aid
to the Irish nationalists, or withhold
such action and apparently make pos
sible the defeat of the government.
His position, therefore, becomes pivotal
in the long-drawn-out fight for and
against the veto power of the lords,
which. without his help, the opponents
of that power have been unable to dis
lodge.

Peary is Recognized.

President Taft in his message to
congress recognizes Captain Edwin
Peary as the dlscoverer of the North
pole and requests congress to bestow
upon him it's most fitting recognition
of the great achievement" Of
ficially, at any rate, this makes a
closed incident of the acrimonious con-
trOversy that has waged about the
heads of Peary and Cook. The un-
fortunate feature Of the whole thing
is IL Peary did actually reach the pole
that Cook. who now confesses that he
did not should ever have appeared
with his rival claims, for there can be
no doubt that they we're responsible,
in part II not entirely for the Ques-
tion OF Peary's success. 1t may be in
time to come the world at large will
acclaim Peary as the one man, who,
up to this time, ever reached the pole,
but even II IL does not his prestige Is
established by the official recognition
Of the government of the United
States, the executive head Of which re-
fers to his achievement as "unparal-
leled." For centuries Arctic explorers
Of many lands have tried to do what
Peary is accredited with doing and he
attained it only after ten years of dar-
ing adventure and untold hardship,
therefore his country may we'll feel a
thrill Of pride in his triumph.

Direct Legislation.

In its annual report to the governor

gests that existing laws are sufficient
for public requirements in the matter
of railroad control In this will be
found one of the best possible answers

II has been set up by advocates OF the
initiative and referendum that direct
legislation is absolutely necessary in
order that the people may secure laws
that are needed. The argument per-
sists that corporations control the ao-

laws for the people can be passed
Yet here in Nebraska We md that two

by republicans and the other CON

One Of the fortunate imporfecuons OF

would have a very different conception Of
the imposing spectacle IL the mortgage

Workmen,s COMPENSATION.

The supreme court of the United
States has set an important precedent
in determining that personal damage
suits brought against corporations
must be determined in state courts.
This change in practice will serve to
bring suits Of this character under the
operation of state laws and in this way
is long step in the direction Of work
mems compensation. 1t has been
found impracticable to enact a gen
eral law providing for workmens
compensation in case of accident and
many states have passed local laws on
the topic, The corporations have
evaded these laws by having the suits
transferred to the federal court. The
decision of the supreme court now
closes this avenue to the corporation
seeking to evade it's responsibility. In
this connection It might not be out Of
place to state that of $95,OOO,OOO
paid by the corporations Of the coun-
try to liability insurance companies
$50, 100000 went direct to the insur-
ance companies, while $4,000 600
went to pay court costs, lawyers fees
and liquidated damages, 1t will cas-
lily be seen from this that not to ex-
coed $25. 100000 of the sum paid by
the employers for the protection of
the workmen ever reached the injured
men who were entitled to relief. It
is not that the American employer
does not wish to compensate as fairly
as possible the workmen injured while
in his employ The payment of $685.
100000 for protection is ample of the
employers liberality. The system of
distribution is radically wrong. The
enactment of carefully framed com
pensation laws will achieve the
remedy.
