or that work has been decided upon
Mr.. Mcbride prepares the plans, en-
gineers and superintends and sees
that everything properly is done.
Mr.. Mcbride divides with Mr..
Harte credit for good roads and
bridges in Douglas county. From
the compliments of autoists there is
enough for both.
An institution whose running ex-
penses exceed a million dollars a
year must have no mean force of
men to collect the money that must
be paid out to the hundreds of work
ers whose names are on the payrolls,
and no mean force to determine just
what share each man who enjoys the
benefits of the expenditures shall
pay. The county treasurer, William
G. Ure, who also is treasurer of the
city of Omaha and of the Omaha
school district, is the man who is in
charge of the collecting. All the
money goes in to him and goes out
from him. Thousands and thou
sands of record books have to be
kept. There are daily records and
monthly records and annual records
of all the sums paid in and paid out.
For each and every department there
is a separate record. At the close of
business each day the treasurer can
tell just how much has been received
and expended that day in each de-
partment and with what balance the

The work probably is the most com.
pick and intricate of all the county
works.
Wealth is the basis of tax assess

tribute to the expense of government

SCISSOR, Is the man in charge of valu-
ations of property. Mr.. Counsman
was born in the north part Of Omaha
and is representative product of
his home city. He is probably sec
ond to no one as an authority upon
the duties pertaining to the asses
sor's offices, as he has been con-
nected with the taxing departments
of the city and county for number
of years past, and if elected to the
office which he seeks, next Novem-
ber, he will gain reward which,
through his qualifications and ability
for doing such work, he is justly en-
titled to.
Where Justice is Dealt Out
Litigation is expensive to the liti-
giant; it also is expensive to the
county, for vast expenditures are
necessary to maintain the vast sys-
tenn of courts. There are the county
court and the district court and
many little justice courts. The chief
are the county and district courts.

course could lead. Suppose at box
there we're three managers who were
corrupt; suppose they were on the
side of one candidate, and at their box
an opposing candidate received a ma
iority of the votes BY simply failing
to send in the poll list in the ballot
box the managers could have the vote
at their box thrown out.
OF course, if fraud were charged and
there were any grounds for the
charge, a full investigation would be
proper.
1t strikes us that what we need to
decide in an election is not whether
every technical requirement Of the
rules has been complied with, but
simply and solely whether there mas
been an honest expression of the will
of the majority of the qualified voters
of county or State.
We want to repeat that we do not
believe there was fraud in the election
in Newberry county.
There is another matter which we
might do we'll to keep in mind, and
that is that unless enough fraud is
prtved-not mere irregularities, but
fraud-to show that Gov. Blease was
not the choice of majority in the re-
cent primary in South Carolina, that
the people of South Carolina are not
going to sit supinely by and see the
will of the majority overthrown by
partisan executive committee, urged
on by partisan press. Unless Cover
nor Blease is the honest choice of
majority of the white voters of South
Carolina he does not want the nomi-
nation. We believe he is the choice
of that majority, and we believe the
majority of the people of South Caro-
lima are of like opinion, and it will
take convincing proof-convincing
not only to the committee, but to the
people-to satisfy them otherwise. And
this convincing proof must be of suf-
ficient fraud to affect the result-not
of irregularities sought out to defeat
the will of the people.
In the words of Senator Tillman, the
State committee had better ego SLOW"
The white primary was never before
in such grave danger-and danger
from those who are most loudly pro-
claiming that in their hands it must
seek it's preservation.

THE SUBSTANCE AND NOT THE
SHADOW.

The Columbia State works itself in
to a frenzy in regard to a paragraph
in The Herald and News, in which, in
contending that we did not believe
there was any fraud in the recent pri-
mary in Newberry county, We cited
the failure of the managers at two OF
the boxes to send in the poll lists in
the boxes as mere technical irregu-
larity, under the circumstances, there
being no suspicion of fraud.

sarcastic effusion elsewhere.
We simply desire, in reply, to stress
the vital Importance of holding to the
substance of purity in elections rather
than chasing Off after the form and
the mere shadow. The matter of send
ing in poll lists is good example. We
would gather from the remarks of the
State that it would hold to the abso-
lutte technical requirements and throw
out any box which did not contain the
poll list, according to the rules. 1t is
easy to see to what such an arbitrary

Solemn Services
In Honor Of
Hero

Made impressive by the eulogies,
sincerely spoken, of men who had
been his associates more or less init
mately during the period of nearly
half a century that he lived in Ha-
waii, the memorial service honoring
the late Judge A. S. Hartwell was
held in the Senate chamber of the
government building this morning,
with the justices of the Supreme
Court presiding.
Hawaii's bench and bar were rep
resented by nearly 100 attorneys and
judges. and eight of these arose to
testify to the love and respect in
which the memory of the departed
jurist and Civil War veteran is held.
Among those present. in addition to
the justices of the Supreme Court,
were u S. District Judges Dole and
Clemons, Circuit Judge H. E. Cooper,
Governor Frear and most of the Ter
ritorial officials, and large number
of Honolulu's prominent business men.
Tribute Of Women.
The tribute of the women of the
Territory to the great jurists memory
was acknowledged by the presence
also of Mrs. Frear, wife of the Gov
ernor; Mrs. J. W. Cathcart. and Mrs.
Adams, wife of the prominent Chicago
physician and mother of Mrs. Walter
Dillingham;.

One of Worlds Most Powerful
Plants TO Cost 100000
Is Authorized

Before the end OF the present fiscal
year Oahu is to have one of the six
most powerful wireless station in the
world. II will be located at Pearl Har-
Dor, and will be built and operated by
the United States Navy. The cost OF
construction and equipment will be ap-
proXimately 100000.
AS far back as last January 1t was
announced that the Navy Department
was planning a chain of wireless to
link together its stations in the Paci
Il and the Far East, and some months
ago the Secretary of the Navy sent
recommendations to congress covering
this project 1t was known al That

the circuit, but up to now there has
been no definite information as to
whether or not the necessary funds
we're appropriated by the national leg
islators.
BY yesterdays mail Admiral Cowles
eommandant of the Honolulu naval
station. received a Communication
from the Bureau OF Steam Engineer,
ing, OF the Navy Department, stating
that the present naval appropriation
act carried funds for the erection OF six
wireless stations and that one of these
was to be erected on Oahu, designed
primarily for inter-communication
with siiimar stations at San Francisco,
Guam, and Tntuil Samoa. The COM
raandant is directed to submit a full
report, on an available site as soon az
possible, as, according to the letter
the station Is to be built during the
present fiscal year. The station is t.
be- 200 kilowatt one, and when IL II
taken into consideration that the pres

According to the plans announced
by the Secretary of the NaSs when
the wireless chain was first pl opposed
the Pearl Harbor station will cost
100000. Originally only five such
stations were projected, but il appears
from the latest communication that
six are to be built, making total ap-
preparation of $1,000, 900 for the work.
The local station will have a tower
600 feet in height. and day or night
will be able to send out radiograms
which will easily reach the San Fran
cisco station, or the Philippines via
Guam.
The public works officer will make
the necessary Investigations and sur
veys, but ii is a foregone conclusion
that the station will be located on
some part of the Pearl Harbor naval
reservation because the land is gov
ernment-owned, and because condi-
tions there have been pronounced first
class for wireless by technical ex-
perts. Another strong reason for
placing the station at Pearl Harbor

fellow, of those happy days long ago
when used to hold that girls hand
in mine for hours-when-"
But the equally unfortunate Pecke
