as a whole. Nebraska ought to have
a nonpartisan Judiciary and a non
partisan board of regents of the
State University. Every Intelligent
voter knows that It would b. far bet
ter for the state if party politics
could be cut out of our courts nnd
educntlonal institutions; and every
republican voter owes it to himself
and his state to vote for at least a
pnrt of the democratic candidates
for judges of the supreme court and
regents of the State University this
year. We feel more like urging our
rentiers to be sure to vote for the
right candidates for these offices
than we do like urging them to vote
for any particular candidate or set
of candidates for county offices. And
yet, the democratic nominees for
county offices in Hox Butte county
are entitled to a write up in The
Herald before election, and we re
gret that it has not been possible to
give it earlier in the campaign.
The Herald would have been will
ing to have omitted entirely any
newspaper discussion of the relative
merits of t he candidate for county
office during this campaign, and to
have left newspaper publicity of the
candidates to suoh statements as
of the county have already decided
to give the present sheriff a second
term, Of course we do not know
the result of the election two weeks
from next Tursday, but It looks to
U very much as though Oil. Cox will
pull 'hrough with a fOOd majority.

reason why all three members of

The Herald called attention to the
importance of re-electing Delia M.
Reed to the office of county superin
tendent of public instruction by unan
imous vote, and we are greatly pleas
ed that she will receive this splendid
compliment to which she is entitled.
The republicans of Box Butte county
have recognized, also, the good dem
ocratic principle of a nonpartisan ju
diciary, by making no nomination for
county judge, thus permitting the
re-election without opposition of our
friend, Judge L. A. Berry, the dem
ocratic nominee.
Coroner
Dr. F. W. Boland, democratic nom
inee for county coroner, is a candi
date for the first time for a county
office in lkx Butte county. While he
may not have as extensive acquaint
ance with the voters throughout the
county as some of the other demo
cratlc nominees, he is a man well
qualified for the office for which he
has been nominated, and if eleceted
will without doubt discharge the du
tics of the office in an efficient and
acceptable manner. Dr. Boland is a
mailuate of Creigbton Medical Col
lege, Omaha, and was on the surgi
cal stafr in St. Alexis Hospital,
Cleveland, Ohio, before coming to
Alliance.
The voting contest at the Alliance
Roller Rink closed Tuesday night.
Km ma Coleman won the diamond
ling, having 11,240 votes. Nellie
Keeler was second with 9,170 votes.
J. B. Saeger of Boone, Iowa, has
been In Alliance the past week or
two making arrangements for the
special sale at Norton's, advertised
in this issue of The Herald. Mr.
Saeger has been successfully engag
ed In this line of work eight or
nine years and of course there is al
ways "something doing" in a sale of
which he has charge.
W. B. Slckler, a barber of McCook,
arrived last Friday to take a place
in Mounts' barber shop. He has
rented his house in McCook and In
tends to make his home In this city
if he can find a house or rooms for
light housekeeping. He expects his
wife within a few days.

Nebraska Legislative Bureau Is Gath.
ering Statistics.
The Nebraska legislative bureau is
preparing a statement of registration
laws in the different states for the pur
pose of making comparisons with sim
ilar laws in Nebraska. Residents of
itles in this state where registration
is required by law are compelled to
register every' year regardless of the
fact that he may have lived in the same
house for twnty-flve years or more.
In other stiles, accordfng to the state
ment prepared by the bureau, perma
nent register of qualified voters is
made and the registration hoard stts
only for a short time each year for
the purpose of correcting this Mst.
