No OmcinI Word Here.

The State Department has not received
official confirmation Of news dispatches
to the effect that a state Of siege has
been declared in Rio de Janiero. and that
martial law has been proclaimed in
Nictheroy and Petropolis. capital Of the
state OF Rio de Janiero.
While not officially Informed Of these
developments in the vicinity of the Bra
lillian capital. there Is no disposition
among department officials to question
their accuracy. For some time reports
have been reaching the department
through various channels to the effect
that the unrest in Brazil was much more
serious than has been publicly represent
ed. and that the government was in
grave danger of facing a violent dis
turbance.
Ambassador da Cana. OF Brazil. yes
tcrday received from his government a
brief cablegram directing him to assure
consular officers and others in the United
States mot to feel any uneasiness be-
cause Of rumors" He has received no
official information to supplement this
dispatch with its brief and ratser vague
warning.
Trouble Long brewing.
For several months trouble has been
brewing in the States of Para. Pernam-
buco and Ceara- 1t has been reported
that the disturbances in the North were
likely to prove the forerunner of formi-
dable attempt TO overthrow the govern
ment Of Brazil. Information regarding
these disturbances has been meagre, and
the understanding is that a strict CEN
sorship has for some time existed on
press dispatches from Brazilian points.
Efforts are being made. according to
information here. to make the present
anti-government movement the vehicle
for the monarchical party in Brazil,
which has never died out completely.

Il III. Iaw Rshina the Time.l

Purblind members OF the legal
profession who resent lay criticism
OF their methods and procedure
should get copy Of recent address
to Chicago lawyers by Robert Nc
Murdy. president of the Illinois State
Bar association, In which he says:
II cannot be claimed that we have kept
in touch with the progress of the times
In the matter OF practice IN our courts.
We are still under the old English sys-
tenn. partly entombed In our statutes
Taking our practice act as n fair illustra-
tion Of conditions. and not going further
back than 1886. on a hurried examination
find that twenty-five sections Of the
present statutes aro either the same as
they were IN fs45. or have bean 10 slightly
changed as to be to all intents and pur-
poses the same.
Evidently he disagrees with the
observation OF the eminent Omaha
attorney that Nearly every state In
the union has adopted simpler meth
DDS of procedure on the philosophical
theory that technicaiities shall not
stand in the way OF Justice But,
then. II may not be fair to hold a
person too rigidly to what he says IL
the flights OF an oratoricai eulogium,
Those with court experience know.
as many fearless lawyers Of the coun-
try admit In the hope OF bettering
conditions, that justice too often
comes off second best In the struggle
with technicallties, that not only IA
II delayed, but too frequently de-
feated. On the theory that "Honest
confession ia good for the soul" Mr.,
McMurdy challenges redemption
when he says that In comparison
with the progress of medical science,
the law has been left way in the rear
That while the medical champions
have made immense progress for the
relief of physical suffering. the Law
has done little to shortcut legal en-
tanglement. While other professioni
have gone forward at great rate
he declares. lawyers have been play
ing the part OF Rip Van Wrinkle.
Such structures from a lawyer ol
high standing. will, OF course, be re-
ceived better than "a libelous critic
ism OF an honorable profession" ut
tered BY q layman. Moreover the
lawyer is less apt TO incite the
malignant vengeance of the lega
crooks infesting the bar who happer
TO be hit by the shafts.

How IL Worries Them.

Our democratic friends seem 10 be
particularly worried just now for
fear the republican faotions that we're
at war in 1912 may get together be-
fore the next election. No wonder;
for republican reunion would
threaten democratic defeat. so the
democratic oracles and organs are
doing their utmost 20 encourage the
so-called "progressives" to "go IL
alone" They are therefore holding
up to them as brilliant examples
their courageous brothers in Kansas
and California. and Iauding to the
skies the unafraid men who counsel
against return to the republican
fold. II the third party can be kept
on its feet in Kansas and California.
the democrats in those states will
walk off with the laurels, likewise
in any other state where n similar
situation can be created.
We do not blame our democratic
friends. We remember that we had
almost reversal of the picture
when the united republicans we're
combating democrats and popuhets
separately organized though cooper
sting in action. The democrats had
rather tough time swallowing the
populists, and we republicans
emitted nothing to make the task
tougher. Tho democrats demon
strated remarkable diplomatic abil-
ity in the trying ordeal Of fusion
and after ten years of laborious mas
ticatIOn succeeded in assimilating the
most OF the indigestible morseF. The
object leEsou, however, should bt
equally potent to republicans OF al
degrees, who may be sure that any
thing the democrats try 20 wish on
us is really intended for their owl
benefit

Our Taratlon referendum.

OMAHA. Jan. ITO the Editor Of The
Bee: In sending to me their ballots
wherein readers of Nebraska papers are
expressing their opinions upon the dif-
ferent phases OF taxation. the over
whelming majority are declaring in favor
Of many changes in the tax system of
this state. At the same time number
of these same readers declare themselves
opposed to the amendment to the con-
stitution relating TO taxation.
This fact clearly proves that these
readers do not understand that amend
ment, for IL they did. they would know
that It is impossible to change our pres
ent tax system in any particular unless
that amendment Is adopted.
II may be that some oppose the amend
ment upon the ground that II gives TO
tho legislature power to make changes.
while they express their lack Of con-
fidence in the legislature. fully share
their lack OF confidence in the average
legislative body. but ! wish to assure
them that the Hrm legislature in that
amendment does not confine the power
OF changing our tax system TO the legis-
lature. Courts have repeatedly decided
that the term legislature merely means
the "law-makinx body" Now. IN this
state. thanks TO the initiative and refer
endum, the law-making body is the peo-
Pile. acting either through the legislature
or by Themselves directly by the initia-
tive and referendum. L. ]. QUINBY.
