Poor Mans Justice

The thorough reform and reorganization Of
our justice courts--where poor mans justice is
dispensed--seems now assured by enactment OF
a law reducing the number of justices from six
to two. and providing for appointive instead Of
elective constables. This important measure,
which has long been advocated by The Bee and.
by the way, is fathered by the entire Douglas
delegation. ought to put the petty litigation In
Omaha upon an entirely new and higher stan
dard basis. II is no reflection on the present
justices Of the peace say that in the past these
courts have been only as good as bad system
has made them. and that is putting it mildly
Concentrating the litigation in two justice courts
only ought to give them standing they do not
now possess and incentive to more careful
and less competitive methods, and appointive
constables should make these officers respon-
sbo to their superiors. Incidentally. the new
justice court system will eliminate the names OF
candidates for ten places at primaries and cleo
tons, and to that extent constitute one step
toward the short ballot.

Novel idea for Union station.

FOOLS utteranoe TO have mentioned such
a thing as the erection Of this structure
in Omaha
A few days ago we heard a man make
the remark that as Omaha and Council
Bluffs both wanted new Union station
he believed II would be a good plan to
build such a structure over the Mis-
souri, river. This would connect the two
cities and the one structure would do for
both. As the several trains must Of neces-
sity cross the river. the bridges would do
for the structure, and the building could
be erected on this foundation. The trains
could pass and repass TO and from one
state to the other. and as ground would
be necessary 10 erect the buildings on,

cation. other than the river. could be put

support for the depot. 1t surely would
be a novel plan 10 erect such station

feasible. 1t would settle tine location of a

wouId Pay ousted.

SOUTH OMAHA. March $40 the
Editor of The Bee: AS no bill Tor the
consolidation of South Omaha with
Omaha can ever be passed that will not
throw some men out of office. i for one,
am in favor of paying the present elected
city officials the salaries that would be
paid to them to the end OF their terms of
office, in case the Howell bill passes the
house, as seems probable at this time. If
such a law would be constitutional, l
think it moro than right to pay the men
who spent their time and money to secure
their offices. Some say they went into it
with eyes open to the fact that the senti-
ment OF the people Of South Omaha has
been growing with leaps and bounds in
favor OF the consolidation of the two
cities and that they ought to have known
what to expect. as soldiers who are sent
to the front lines on rteld OF battle
1t has been rumored that city officials
say they will not fight the Howell bill
any longer IL their salaries are taken care
of. II the report Is true I think some
plan should be found TO make them
good for the terms to which they have
been elected.
No one man can be blamed for the
annexation sentiment Tor IL mas spread
like q prairie fire driven by hign gales
and the general run of people will not
be satisfied until the consolidation takes
place. When two or three men can get
$50 names to a petition in favor OF the
consolidation on stormy day like last
Saturday. 1t is thought that with work
for one week at least $500 names of
actual residents of the city could be 'se-
cured.
But in annexing we Should be careful
that no more injustice is done than can
be helped and l hope sUme way will be
found to legally adjust the salaries Of
city officials whom wi. be thrown out

Let the Names BE Printed.

OMAHA, March 5.--To the Editor of
The Bee: 1 frequently notice publica-
ton in your paper OF Communications
whose contributors do not sign their
names, using only their initials. or some
similar form OF disguise especially on
subjects relating to prohibition. 1t
would seem TO me that your readers are
entitled to know by whom such contribu-
lions are sent. People who have not the
courage OF their convictions sufficiently
to come out openly and sign their names
ought not to contribute at all, and be-
lieve that IL I were a publisher l would
not accept for publication any commune
cations not signed by the full name
of the contributor. Publishing letters
signed only with initials is not fair. -
and besides leaves the editor subject to
the suspicion that he himself might be
hiding behind such initials in matters
where for some reason he does not wish
TO speak editorlally.

How To Tell When 1t Is Going To Rain.

In the August Woman's Home Com
| panion, Rollin Lynde Hartt writes a
highly entertaining and exceedingly prac-
teal article entitled Lets Talk About
the Weather" He tells how to guard
against lightning, how to treat people
who have been struck by lightning, how
to tell when it is going to rain and so
on. On the subject of predicting rain he
writes in part as follows;
"There are plenty of soundly scientific
weather signs that are right before our
eyes and vouched for by the best meteor
ologists. For instance, the ring around
the moon, which is produced by thin,
fimy cloud made up of minute particles
Of icea state of things not built to
last. Either some unlooked-for commo-
ton will put stop to it in different
manner, or it will pour cats and dogs
within three days at most. In SO cases
cut of 100, the rule holds good. A still
better sign is the ring around the sun.
This is science, pure and simple, and
so is the old maxim: The farther the
sight, the nearer the rain 1t is not
pessimism that makes people along the
coast predict a downpour when they can
pick out the separate houses on far
away island, or people in mountainous
regions call it too good TO last when a
distant peak, generally invisible, comes
into view. They are shrewd meteor
clogists in making these predictions, and
also in declaring that sounds carry bet
ter when a rainstorm is brewing.
"Of all nice, convincing weather signs, |
however, 'sickening sky is pretty near
ly the most reliable. When the deep
warm blue grows paler, and then whit
ish, and your spirits drop, and shadows
fray at the edges and disappear, then
you have a sickening sky. Rain is not
being brought up ready-made from afar,
il is being manufactured directly over
head.
"The color OF the sky, then, is fairly
sign in and of itself, and so
IS the color OF the clouds. Intensely
white clouds against an intensely blue
ky mean bright weather ahead. Gray.
sh clouds on lightish blue foretell
ain"
