THE MCKAY RULING.

Several newspapers are attempting
to make political capital from Judge
Welchs ruling on the error in date
in the states complaint charging Joe
Mckay, in Antelope county, with muir
der The fact of the matter Is that
the mistake was not mentioned to
Judge WEIGH by the attorneys for de-
Tense in support Of their demurrer
to the information. They simply said
they did not care to argue it. Nor
was it called to Judge Welch's atten-
ton for a ruling until after jury
had been sworn to try the case.
No doubt this course was pursued
by them so that Mckay could plead
former jeopardy if the information
could be amended during trial and
the court should hold otherwise, neces-
stating the discharge of that jury
and commencing over on a corrected
information. Some states (among
them Kansas in one opinion by Judge
Brewer, afterwards Judge Of the Unit.
ed States supreme court, had held
that such a mistake could be correct
ed during trial and the case proceed
with the jury then impaneled. Other
states have held that such informa
ton was void. The Nebraska supreme
court had never passed on the point
In view of the uncertainty as to
which line of authorities the Nebraska
supreme court would follow, Judge
Welch certainly pursued the only safe
course when he followed Judge Brew
er and held that the mistake could
be corrected and the case proceed
with the jury then sworn, rather thar
run the risk of setting Mckay free
on plea of twice in jeopardy by
discharge of the jury, should the Ne
braska supreme court follow Judge
Brewer on the point.

disagree with him and many claim he
Is a poor politician, but that he has
ever permitted his administration to
become tainted as Mr.. Bryan sug
gests, will require more proof than
Mr.. Bryan's unfounded accusation to
convince the American people.
President Taft has picked men of
highest ideals and highest integrity
for the supreme court. He has picked
the highest type of man, with the
finest judicial training, that this
country knows. And the American
people have faith in the integrity of
that court.
When this republic does lose faith
in its supreme court or when the SUI
preme court does become corrupt,
then pity the American flag. And un.
til there is more basis than partisan
blindness for attacking motives of
the supreme court, let our statesmen
teach respect for the courts rather
than cast insult and insinuation upon
| them.

THIRD DISTRICT REPUBLICAN.

The Third congressional district of
can district as it Is democratic dis
trict, on the face of the record, and
eliminating the personality of the late
Hon. j. p. Latta, who drew very great
support from republican ranks. the
district may well be counted as posi-
lively republican.
In the last six elections the republi-
cans have won three times and the
democrats three times. Robins (dem)
was elected in 1900 by bare 175
majority. Mccarthy (rep.) won in
1902 by $50 and in 1904 by 2,194.
Boyd (rep) was elected in 1906 and
in the next two campaigns Mr.. Latta's
personality, with his great hold upon
many staunch republicans, together
with the lavish expenditure of money
that was made in the campaign man
aged for him by Dan V. Stephens,
gave democratic majorities.
But even in spite of Latta's two
winning campaigns, the district has
been republican half the time since
1900 and in one campaign (1904
when Dan V. Stephens was campaign
manager for p. E. McKillip, the re-
publicans won against a $4,000 slush
fund expended in McKillip's behalf.
And so, eliminating the Latta per.
sonality and check book, the Third
Nebraska district may still be counted
safely a republican district and there
is not the slightest reason in the
world why united republican party
in this district this year should not
succeed in electing Jim Elliott to sue
coed Mr.. Latta.

JUDGE WEIGHS RECORD.

1t is seldom that the ability of a
Judge can be given the high tribute
that can be paid Judge A. A. Welch,
republican nominee for reelection to
the bench in the Ninth judicial dis
trict. The supreme court of Nebraska
during the past sixteen months of
Judge Welchs term, has affirmed ex-
actly 80 percent of his decisions, a
record that can be claimed by but
few judges in the country and which
in itself is the best evidence to the
people of the district that they have
a man Of splendid talent on the bench
at the present time. and one whom
they may well afford to keep there.

LAND LOTTERY HIJMBUG.

There's a good deal of humbug
about these land lotteries, and the
United States government, surprising
as it may seem, is largely responsible
for the graft. Louis Hill was pretty
near right when he classified the land
drawing game, three years ago, as a
scheme that defrauds thousands out
of hard earned dollars.
In the rush that Just closed, $4,000
people registered for homesteads.
Many of them travelled considerably
more than 1000 miles to register 1t
is fair to estimate that the average
expense to each applicant was $50,
That would make $3.50, 0OO-not far
from three millions Of dollars poured
oct ca a slim gamble, for the most
part by people who could Ill afford to
spare the money At all events, the
people who ought to get government
homesteads are people who need them
and who have little surplus cash to
throw away.
Out of $4,000 who registered, we are
now informed, after the lottery, that
not any of the first class lands are
available and that considerable less

yet gambling" was prohibited at the
registration points.
If the government wanted to put
these claims where they were needed
the sane method would be to allow
people to register by mail. thus giving
every part of the nation an equal
chance. Each applicant could be re.
quired to put up a stipulated sum as
evidence of good faith, thus keeping
down the number to persons really
wanting homes. This would cut out
, the big expense of making trips to
registration points, and loss of time.
This plan has frequently been put up
to the government but politicians
I have always been able to counteract
the suggestion and win out with the
rush" scheme.
Thousands of people are led into the
, belief that if they win, they'll get
/ something for nothing, and that their
chances for winning are good.
As matter Of fact the require
ments are such as to compel the
! homesteader to pay we'll for his claim
and his chances of drawing are mighty
slim.
The United States government
ought to rise above this sort of a
game. 1t would cut down railroad
revenues and take some money from
registration points, but the interests
of all the people would be better
served.

The young man or the young woman
who finds an education within his
reach ought to seize it and it is for.
tunately true in this land OF ours, that
no man who aspires to an education
need go without it. 1t is within the
reach of all. There are hundreds of
boys and girls who are working their
way through the colleges of the coun,
try. And no man or woman who gets
the education will ever live long
enough to regret it. An education is
the one thing that no one ever re,
grets. No matter what fortune or
misfortune comes to one in later life
the knowledge he has acquired, the
habits Of thought and study and the
formation, these things are never list,
ed among a mans regrets.

STEPHENS DEMOCRATIC"
RECORD.

Dan V. Stephens, democratic nomi.
nee for congress, is posing as the
simon-pure champion of democracy,
as the friend of the masses" as the
champion of purity in politics and Of
reform" all along the line. Yet as
politician who seeks votes by the
eXtravagant use of enormous sums
of money, Stephens record is enough
to cause the masses" of common
people" to sit up and question MI
Stephens right to any claims about
the fundamental principles of demo
crazy.
Dan Stephens was chairman am
campaign manager for p. +. Mckillip
when McKillip ran for congress
against j. j. Mccarthy in 1904. Nc
Killip is now a bankrupt and his fl
nancial affairs are being aired in
bankruptcy court. Some astounding
facts are brought to light in this con-
nection.
An investigation, for instance,
shows that in his 1904 campaign Nc
Killip gave checks for campaign pur.
poses amounting to $26,057.29 and
spent in addition to the amount rep
resented by checks the sum of $4,000,
making a total expenditure in that
campaign of $3S,05729. This enorm.
Gus use Of funds undoubtedly con.
tributed to Mr.. McKillips financial
downfall. And Dan Stephens was Nc.
Killip's political manager.
In that campaign of 1904 William
Jennings Bryan, then the peerless
leader" as now, swept over the Third
district, as he is sweeping over 1t
this year, and told the "pee-pul" how
they ought to vote. He threw his
arm affectionately around McKillip's
this year and told the people how
long he had known McKillip and what
model he was. He failed to refer
to the fact that McKillip was spend
ing $4,000 in his democratic effor!
to get votes.
This year Bryan is again with us
He is again in affectionate mood to-
ward the candidate. He is telling
his audiences what genuine com
mon peoples" democratic democrat
Dan Stephens is. And he is not re
ferring to the fact that Stephens was
political manager for McKillip in the
campaign that cost McKillip $4,000.
AS an interesting little sidelight II
may be noted, too, that in the last
campaign of the Hon. James p. LattA
whose position Stephens now seeks
Mr.. Latta Is said to have spent some
where in the neighborhood of $6S,000
Dan Stephens was Latta's politica
manager in that campaign, as he hat
been in McKillip's.

cratic editor, turned loose his RAPID

cans alike, against sending to con

trict, a man who has conducted cam
paigns on such an extravagant checl
