Omaha, June Ito the Editor Of The

claims Of high wages to the aristocrats Of
the labor world. regarding their passenger
engineers. wish to state that their en-
gineers drawing such large salaries Of $500
and $3.50 . month. are Just simply making
up . gain Of about SO . month, which
they have coming to them through loss Of
having to buck the extra list for eight or
nine years. at an average salary Of $50
month. He has studied and worked hard
for his chosen vocation, the same as
doctor. lawyer or any other profession; his
is q typical case Of the survival Of the
ittest.
An army Of men have entered the service
since he did. but nearly all have fallen by
the wayside, killed or disabled in accidents
on the rail. He is one out of 100 who be-
come passenger engineer. so why should he

Justice Courts and Municipal Courts.

Justice Courts and MUNICIPAL Sourts.
Omaha, June Ito the Editor CT The
Bee: Welfare Attorney Mcguire covars too
much territory when he condemns all Omaha
justice courts. He deserves the well con-
sidered rebuke administered by Justice A.
E. Baldwin In today's Bee.
The justice courts have one great in
herent fault--they are organized on the fee
system. The more cases a justice tries, the
more money he makes. After many years
of patient endeavor. with which work Mr..
Mcguire was In no way connected,
municipal court has been established for
Greater Omaha. The three judges Of this
court draw a regular salary and are not
dependent upon LAWYERS, litigants or collec-
ton agencies. The number Of justice courts
has been reduced from six to one for the.
entire city.
All this has already been accomplished;
three municipal judges are now acting under
the appointment Of Governor Morehead.
The county commissioners should find space
in the court house for this important court:
II will be busy one after January /. when
five Omaha justice courts will be discon-
tinued. The next legislature will undoubted-
ly provide . change Of venue from the
justice to the municipal court.
Mr.. Maguire's illumination against all
justice courts Ii like Roosevelt's nomination
noisy, but Of no importance.

BISHOP HUNTNGW VISITS EUREKA
Holds Sunday Morning and Even
ing Services in st. James Epis-
copal Church Here

Bishop George C. Hunting of Ne
vada, who has recently been visiting
the Episcopal churches in the east
ern part of the State, arrived in Eu-
reka on July Fl and held both MORN
ing and evening services in st. James
Episcopal church here last Sunday.
The morning sermon of interesting
and instructive words of counsel and
advice was followed by the holy COM
munion.
In the evening discourse the story
of the Good Samaritan" was dis
cussed by the reverend gentleman as
it appealed to him in his earlier
church work, and as he saw it now
after study and more mature thought
At the close of his evening sermon
Bishop Hunting made a few general
remarks about his being a resident
of Nevada, his innate love for the
State, and his interest in it's future;
what he hoped could be accomplished
for the betterment Of this State,
how much depended upon the COM
ing election this Fall. and hoped that
the vote of the women of the State
would start the wheels in the right
direction toward abolishing some of
our detrimental legislation. which
he enumerated as open gambling,
prize fighting, easy divorces, innum-
cradle saloons. etc. He advocated
prohibition, and predicted that it
would come to Nevada sooner or lat
er. He spoke particularly about
State legislation and strongly advised
that the best timber available be Sc
lected for Senator'S and Assemblymen
regardless of party politics, and
said that the laws enacted by these
officials could make Nevada one of
the first and foremost States, or
keep it in the background.
The Bishop spoke of his visiting
the Sunday School. and said that he
wished to express his satisfaction
and pleasure that regular sessions of
it were being held by the teachers,
and with a good attendance. He
found the church building in need of
some foundation repairs. which had
been estimated to cost about $3.50.
From the sale of the old vestry build
ing the church had on hand $50. he
said he would contribute $50 more,
and asked that the members raise
the balance of the required sum to
make the repairs.

How Mines Are Laid And Fired.

One of the WAYS ii which the bcllig-
crent nations lay mines in harbor5
and other waters is described in the
July Popular Mechanics Magazine. On
one deck of vessel are several mar
row tracks supporting the mines, each
of which is mounted on wheels. Each
mine is in turn rolled to the stern and,
by means of special launching tracks,
is dropped into the sea without fitting
A nine of the character described is
made up of three parts: A spherical
floating chamber containing the ex-
plosive, etc; an anchor chamber
which is connected with the former by
cable, and weighted sounding line.
The length of the latter is equal to the
depth at which the mine is to float.
When the end of the sounding line
strikes bottom the lessening of its pull
throws a pawl which prevents the
drum in the anchor chamber from paw
ing ont more cable to the sphere. Con-
sequently the latter is drawn under
water to a depth equal to the length
of the sounding line, as the anchor
chamber settles to the bottom. A page
illustration in the july Popular Me.
tchanics Magazine depicts graphically
this method of mine laying.
