to give US the necessary relief.


We would suggest, as feasible plan'
that all of the keeping of records
and all the collection of taxes be dele
gated to the recorder, whose duties re-
ouire that he be in the city nall.
About two per cent would be ample
to compensate for the extra du'les
thrown upon the recorder by reason o. o.
such change, and salary OF from 30
to 500 per month with perqulsltes'
will get as good chief of police as 'he
exorbitant price we now pay.
Such change would not WORK
hardship on anyone or do anyone an IN
;ustice. as it would not be operative
against the present administration an'
the personnel of the next is yet to p'
determined. :,
/, If we will make such change Il
tho course of ten or twelve years W
will have saved enough to build a.
e;obt or ten thousand dollar city ha
and no service will suffer thereby.

' citizens, also the editor OF tne oeh'

will be jailor and that he expects to
secure the services of Sheriff Williams
to assist him at least for while in the
office work. Mr.. Farrell Is a clever
rood man and will no doubt prove
faithful in the duties assigned him. 1t
is needless to speak of the efficiency OF
Mr.. Williams, who is rounding out his

Commission Plan Election.

Responding to The Bees commission
plan petition, calling for the submits
sion to the voters of the question of
adoption, today is the day designated
by Mayor Dahlman for the special
election.
Polls will be open in the various
voting districts from s o'clock in the
morning to o'clock In the evening,
and the votes recorded will determine
whether Omaha shall exchange its
present form of municipal govern
ment for the commission plan at the
expiration of the terms of the present
ineumbents next spring.
The commission plan law provides
the method of submission OF adoption
or rejection. and a majority of the
votes cast on the proposition will
govern.
If the commission plan carries it
will be put into effect at the next
city election by the choice of seven
councilmen fully empowered to take
control and supplant all existing cleo
tive city officers except the school
board and the water board.
II the commission plan is rejected
It cannot be resubmitted within two
years. which means postponement for
more than three years, because a Sec
ond election two years hence would
find another set of incumbents in Of
flee with unexpired terms running for
two years more.
The people of Omaha who want to
reorganise their city government on
the commission plan must say so now,
and they must say so by voting yes
at the election today.

POLITICAL SNAPSHOTS.

Washington Post: 1t is to be hoped that
William Jennings Bryan will not pay any
attention to Tom Edison's arguments
against sleep.
Washington Star: The Omaha Bee sug.
gests that out of regard for senatorial
courtesy Jim Vardaman will get his bach
hair trimmed. Yes, he will get a trimming
Minneapolis Journal: Mr.. Bryan is still
vigorously deharmonlzlng the party and
laying down rules for motives and actions
man is no kind of a Has-Was unless he
knows 1t. or, at least, suspects II.
Pittsburgh Dispatch: Speaker Champ
Clark, in critlcising other peoples speeches,
might stop long enough to reflect that some
loose verbiage of his own has furnished
all the ammunition to the Canadian oppo-
nents OF reciprocity.
New York Sun: Colonel Bryan rose at
Aurora, H., the other day and as usual
not in the best of humor with Governor
Harmon. The exparamounter lauded cheer
fully the obscure Folk Folk, Marshall,
Beauchamp Clark DIT. Wilson were classi-
fled as progressive candidates. Harmon
is retrogressive, has no strength In the
states in which the fight must be made,
with the exception of New York" Ger
talnly 1t should be a fatal disqualification
to q democratic candidate to be strong in
New York. Mr.. Bryan Is freer than any
other candidate from this handicap.

Will the Lawyers Do TT

President Taft told the American
Bar association some pretty plain
truths, notably that the court pro-
cedure of this country is sorely in need
Of reforming and that the lawyers are
the ones to do the job, or at least
start it. 1t will be interesting to
watch the lawyers get to work.
The president is a lawyer, himself,
has been a judge and has made a
good many other men judges. He
knows enough about judicial proce-
dure to say what 1t ought to be and
his words are not subject to the charge
of prejudicial testimony.
The laymen have been urging re-
forms in judicial proceedings for a
long time and it is a fine thing to
have the weight of the presidents in
fluence on the same side. 1t will have
the effect of increasing the popularity
of the demands, which, sooner or
later, must be met decisively.
Both respect for the Judiciary
very necessary thing in this country
and the direct administration Of JUS
tice are subject to enhancement by
certain reforms in the processes of
law. People are outraged, and Justly
so, as much when there is a patent,
gross miscarriage Of justice under
form of law, or a violent assault upon
law and order, and they are prone to
condemn the acts and the immediate
actors, as they have a right to do.
But back of the immediate scenes
often lie vital contributory causes,
which must be met before the evil
complained of can be effectually over
come or prevented. And these causes
sometimes spring from the undue ex-
aggeration of slender technicalities in
the law. Lawyers and judges have
it in their power to remedy conditions
Of this sort, because they are the ones
chiefly responsible for them. That
plainly is what the president had in
mind and sought to impress upon his
hearers at the bar association.

People Talked About

The projected gerrymander OF New York
state by the democratic legislature gives
New York City twenty-five congressman
and the rest Of the state twenty-one.
A robust rumor Is cavorting around the
Empire state dropping in the right spot
the word that Sunny jim" Sherman, vice
president, might be prevailed on to accept
the republican nomination for governor
next year.
There are not enough republicans in
Texas to worry the gerrymandering com
mittee Of the legislature, so the energies
Of the body are directed toward giving
wet democrats the hot end OF the gerry
Wandering poker.
Senator Penrose in the role of a crusader
for civic righteousness Is a spectacle so
wonderful that Philadelphians scarcely
know whether a scream or cheer is the
proper caper. 1t will take some time to
come out Of the daze.
One of the new state officials OF New
York, who placed his son in comfortable
berth and then doubled the salary Of the
job, defends his action on the ground that
exceptional talent is entitled to an ex-
ceptional salary. The nerve of the family
is not aching for a tonic.
Former Governor Van SAINT of Mime
sofa is enjoying a fall breeze started by
admirers who think a congressional nomi-
nation would be suitable reward of merit
for Van. st. Paul papers insinuate that
the ex-governor can be persuaded to come
out without converting the breeze into a
gale.
Young Mr.. German, who won the demo-
cratic nomination for governor OF Mary

Entries Still Increasing.

Down in Missouri they have a way
Of saying, The more the merrier."
The bigger the crowd, the better the
dance, or the larger the entry list, the
finer the race. Evidently the Missouri
idea has wormed its way into the
councils of the democracy. whose entry
list of presidential candidates goes on
apace, growing every day.
Nor is old Missouri, itself, taking
any chances on winning by withhold
ing a possible dark horse. she has two
avowed runners in the list and one
nearly avowed. The last is David r.
Francis, former governor, former
mayor and former secretary of the in
terror under President Cleveland. Mr..
Francis has recently bought the con-
trolling interest in the dominant dem
ocratic newspaper of the state and po-
litical soothsayers have it that his
immediate purpose is to promote his
own candidacy for the presidency.
Counting Mr.. Francis as a candidate,
there are now at least ten in the list,
namely: Harmon of Ohio, Wilson of
New Jersey, Foss of Massachusetts,
Dix Of New York, Marshall of Indiana,
Hoke Smith of Georgia, Folk, Clark
and Francis of Missouri, and, last, but
never least, our own Bryan of Ne
braska. OF course, we realize that Mr.
Bryan's modesty would prompt him
to silence us on this, but he is too
good a patriot to let even his modesty
rule him at such a time, and 80 his
edge or consent, and it is a 16-to-1
shot that he would not refuse another
nomination.
Some candidates In this list do not
now loom up as formidable as others,
but no man can tell what a day or
six months will bring forth in politics.
While Harmon and Wilson appear to
have the nomination between them,
time may rob both of their chances
and swing the prize over to one of
the others. AT least that seems to be
exactly the thought in the minds Of
such astute leaders as Chairman Mack
of Buffalo and Mr.. Bryan, else why
would they name a multitude of can
didates, any one OF whom would be
satisfactory to them2 Mr.. Mack has
presented Messrs. Harmon, Wilson,
Foss, Marshall and Dix, in order, and
Mr.. Bryan has said Wilson, Hoke
Smith, Champ Clark or Folk would do.
Seriously, II David r. Francis gets
into the race, as suggested, he will
have to be reokoned with, especially
in Missouri, where the vote will be
divided, and he might slip in behind
the other men, since they would be
more apt to share the same support.
Governor Francis entrance would also
make three of the old Cleveland cab
met officers in the race-himself,
Hoke Smith and Harmon, which might
be taken to signify the old guard
redivivus, only Hoke recanted.

Securing Public Money Deposits.

The ruling of the attorney general
that the guaranty fund provided for

substituted for the guaranty bonds
covering deposits of public funds in
state banks promises to make a COM
plete change In the method of securing
such deposits. 1t is assumed that the
discontinuance OF the guaranty bonds

not so clear as the public deposits will
