Hew Rale (or Law Students.
There are. two or three dozen bright
young men throughout the state who are
toiling away in law offices, seeking to fit
themselves for the legal profession, and
from present indications all of them will
fall to secure admission to practice before
the supreme court. The court has adopted
a new rule, which provides explicitly for
the registration of each office student at
the beginning of his. work, in any office,
and any failure on the part of the student
to file shall not be excused on the, ground
of Ignorance of the rule. .
The legislature, enacted a law requiring
a three-year .course in e law. school or
three yearsr.of study In a Jaw office The
oOur't took step to. enact" the" new ' rule,
which Is designed, to , avoid the possibility
, of . securing admission without the required
'tune, spent Jn study.-.
The law office student is required to file
, a statement with the court when he begins
and .every time he changes his place of
study, giving the name of the lawyer and
; the location of his office. The clerk of the
court is allowed to charge not to exceed
60 cents for filing suoh statements, which
may be either formal or Informal.
; , Mr. Lindsay, the clerk, stated today that
no filings had been made so far,, and he Is
In a quandry what to do about the matter.
It is posslblo that the court may be asked
at the first sitting to define to what extent
the rule la mandatory.

Committee.
Several times yesterday afternoon mem
bers of the Douglas county democratic
committee promised to break out In open
rebellion. The meeting waa to be held In
Jacksonlan hall at 1 o'clock, but the mem
bers were slow getting together and Jt
was nearly 8 o'clock when Chairman A. A
Arter called the members to order.
The first clouds appeared while -the roll
was being called. When Secretary John E.
Regan reached the name of Committee
man Parks objection was 'raised because
Mr. Parka is out of town and will not be
present during the campaign. One of ths
members expressed the opinion that the
name of one of the contesting delegates
should be substituted. He thought It would
have the tendency to restor harmony In
the disturbed ward from which the selec
tion is made. The matter waa referred to
the committee for consideration and will
be disposed of at the next meeting.
The question of nominating highway
commissioner and road supervisor was
taken up .The chair was empowered to
make the nomination excepting in the
country districta where there Is a conteat.
In auch cases the choice will be made at a
caucus of the voters In the district and
the name will be presented to the commit
tee for endorsement. Upon motion the sec
retary was Instructed to notify .one mem
ber of the county committee In each of the
country district to present the names of
the precinct officer at the next meeting of
the committee.
Arter Appeal for Activity.
Chairman Arter took advantage of a lull
to advise the three committeemen from
each ward to get together and name a
chairman for the purpose of expediting tne
work. He said he believed in running the
campaign along huslnes lines and aaaea
that later a pla of campaign would b
mapped out He urged a vigorous cam-fSale-n
and said It would take republican
votes to win and he Importuned the mem
bers to make as many converts as they
could. He thought It was getting time to
be doing something and expressed himself
In favor of "a short and fast campaign."
Election." he said. "Is ten weeks off. ana
we ought to get underway in t)ie next ten
or twelve . days." '
He announced that the jacxsonian ciuo
hod offered the use of the hall for demo
cratic headquarter free f the committee
rw,v for Its bwn light. On motion the of-
kfer was accepted, offices for the campaign
to be oDened not later than the Wtn. noma
one wanted the names read of the executive
committee appointed by the chair, ine
secretary had barely finished, when there
was a kick. On of the members bad dis
covered some of the names on the list
were those of persons not on the committee.-
'
"I don't .think it's right to go outside,
said the Breaker. "It looks to me line an
effort to take the work out of the hands of
the .committee. The county committee
ought to have a voice In suggesting the
names. I believe South Omaha ought to
have a larger representation on the list.
Is there anyone on there from the country
dlsrlcts?" -
The chair explained there wa no ope on
the list from the. country districts, but. He
was willing to add a name or two and make
the list larger; He suggested that speakers
mnklng-the protest--name another man .to
work with Mr. Broadwell, the . South
Omaha committeeman, and that two coun
try members of the committee be named.
The speakers could not name a man. ,
More Explaining Keeessary.
"It is nothing unusual to name men out
side of the committee to act with the ex
ecutive body." said the chair, "The mem
bers of the executive committee were se
lected because of their peculiar adaptability
for the work, especially in collecting cam
paign funds."
Several voices rose In protest, and L. J.'
Plattl explalned the business relations of
the men selected made.lt easier for them
to look after the financial end of the work
than for the ordinary committeemen.
Secretary Regan also explained that the
work of the executive committee was ad
visory. '.'Well.'tf the regular committee can't do
the work," growled some one In the rear of
the room, "why aren't they put on the com
mittee In the first place?"
The chair explained that he was em
powered by the central committee at its
last meeting to make the appointments.
"Well. I don't believe It waa intended
that the chair should go outside the com
mittee to make the appointments: that I
a power the chair hasn't got." A motion
finally was put and carried to the effect
that a member of the committee from South
Omaha and two from the country be added
to tha list.
"How many will that make?" soma one
asked.
"Sixteen." was the reply.
'Sixteen! That's a pretty large "
