Four members of the constitutional con
vention of J75. namely. James K. Hnjd,
John I.. WrbsUr, Charles F. Mandrrson
and Judge W. II. Monger, sre still living
In Omaha. The following xpressions were
obtained from Mine of them In anipr ro
a request for an opinion of the biennial flec
tion bill, from ixiint of constitutional law
and of the Intent of the constitutional con
vention. John I.. Webster-I do not care to exprem
an opinion on the lilll reliitive to Its consti
tutionality. I was president of the constl
' tutlonal convention, and as such ao much of
( my time taken up with the duties of
j that office that I had not time to pay much
attention to any partdliir polnta. The con
vention worked very rapidly, occupying
some thirty or forty dnya, iind It hnd mu' h
to do. I am not prepared to express ,m
nplnion Just new regarding any conaiTu
I tlonal points In the bill.
General Vlnnalersoii's lena.
Oeneral Charles F. Mamlerson Without
passing at thla time upon the (pii'stlon of
the constitutionality of the biennial elec-
j lion law Just passed by the legislature, I
desire to say that I think tills bill xhould
be vetoed by the governor, iind I have
written lilm to that effect. The purpose
In having the election of Judge iind of
regents of the university in a different year
from the. general electlona was to remove,
far an possible, incite officials from the
heat of pollticiil canvasses. For many
yeura In Nebraska the rule wan that there
hould be no political cunvass by either the
late committee of the two parllca or by
candidates for Judicial place In what was
to be an off political year. The constitu
tional! convention of 1874 certainly had In
view the ldet that every alternate year
the state should be free from the excite
ment and expense Incident to general elec
lions. Many people believed, aa I believed
and yet believe, that no candidate for
Judicial place should ever go upon the
tump to excite political animosity and
prejudice. It la not only a lowering of the
dignity of the place, but provokes antag
onism and prejudices that certainly have
their effect In Judicial consideration and
derisions. My Impression Is that thu con
stitution of 1871. which, ulthough an ad
mirable document, waa vetoed by the peo
ple, had In it some provision as to the
terms of ofllce of Judge so ua to throw
these electlona In a year when there should
be no political excitement.
I think the muln purpose of thla bill waa,
not to ave expense and In the Interest of
economy, but that the terma of office of
ome present Incumbent should bo ex
tended. Bo far a the constitutionality of
the question la concerned, If the bill should
become a law and no election should be
held for Judgea. then they would, of course,
hold their position, under the terms of the
constitution, until their successors should
be elected and qualified. This section of
the. constitution certainly should be con
sidered In connection with the other fixing
the term of office, but, whether the law be
constitutional or not, It should be vetoed
for the reasons that I have stated, and I
-earnestly hopa that the state of Nebraska
will return In. the future to he old con
dition when every alternate year free
from political squabbles and those who
re candidates for Judicial place should not
paritlelpato in political campaigns.
Should lie Kept Out nf Politics.
', Judge W. II. Mu tiger I had not thought
Of the constitutionality of the biennial elec
tion law and could not express any opin-,
Ion on that point until I have read the
bill. Judges of the supreme court and the.
regents of the university should be nom
inated and elected without regard to poli
tics. That wan the purpose of having tho
election for these officers In the odd years
when political prejudice was not present.
These officers should be selected with spe
cial regard to their qualifications as Jurists
and educator, hence the bench and the
great educational school of the state should
be absolutely free from politics.
Morn Lincoln Opinion.
At Lincoln opinions have been secured
by the Journal of several other members
of the constitutional convention of 1875 re
aiding In that city, aa follows:
Judge M. H. Reese It waa practically
the unanimous) opinion of that convention
that the election of Judges of the supreme
court and university regents should be
held entirely Independent of the election of
most of the other state officers. It was
the sentiment of the members that this
Would tend to keep the Judges out of the
Whirlpool of politics and would keep their
nomination free from the trades and com
binations that always go with state con
vention. The question waa discussed fully
at that time, and while no record was kept
of the debates, I remember that a largo
majority favored the election of the Judges
on the odd years for this reason. I am
of tho opinion that the biennial election
law la a bad move and that It la unconsti
tutional, a the constitution aeems to be
plain on that question. The first election
of Judges under the present constitution
was held In 1875 at the time the constitu
tion waa adopted. The provision of the
constitution Is aa follows: "Judge of the
mipreme. district and county courts, all
elective county and precinct offlcera and all
other elective officer the time for the elec
tion of whom Is not herein otherwise pro
vided for. and which are not included in
the above exception, shall be elected at the
first general election and thereafter at the
general election next preceding the time of
the termination of their respective terms
of office, provided that the office of no
county commissioner shall be vacated
hereby." The constitution fixes the term
of office of supreme Judge at six years
and by the terms of this' bill the term of
those In office now ts lengthened to seven.
This seems to be changing the constitution
by legislative enactment. While the elec
tion of supreme Judges has not been re
moved entirely from politic, I bejleve that
It Is freer from politics than It wfiuld be
If held In connection with the election of
other state officers.
Judge 8. H. round The Idea In the ser
ration of the elections, or In the holding of
off-year elections, was to remove the non-
'poUttcal offices from the political. The
members of the convention, with but few
exceptions, wre In favor of the separation
of the educational offices) and the Judiciary
from the offices of more purely political na
ture. I do not recall what the attitude
was In regard to county office..
Judge Uroady The Intention of the con
vention was that by holding annual ejec
tions It mlglit be possible to put the best
men In state offices. By holding the elec
tion of the Judiciary and the regent sep
arate from the other state offices It wait
hoped tills might be accomplished. The
convention wa practically unanimous In
Its action and the matter called forth but
brief discussion on this account. Demo
crats as well as republicans were in favcr
of the arrangement.

SWEEPING VICTORY FOR THE CANDIDATES
DOWNWARD STEPS FOR A BOY
Truant Officer I'arUer Explains Some
of Ills schemes for
Reform.
Cigarettes, paper novels and" truancy are
the first three steps In a path of crime for
the school children of our land, according
to the opinion of Truant Officer Parker.
"The cigarette hHblt Is almost Invariably
first In the downward career," said Mr.
Parker. "A few days ago I saw a state
ment which gave truancy this unenviable
position, hut in my Judgment It is erro
neous. To be sure, truancy is almost al
ways a factor, and Indeed the prime factor,
but you will find it preceded by cigarettes.
The boy who will not smoke and read
cheap novel Is the boy who will not give
the truant officer any trouble, although I
presume that any boy with red blood In his
veins will play 'hookey' once In a while.
Most of the habitual truants, however,
smoke cigarettes."
Mr. Purker la Interested In the matter
of parental schools and detention homes
for truants, and thinks they would form a
valuable adjunct to the present Juvenile
court system In Omaha. By Its provisions
had boys are placed on probation or lucked
up. If Omaha had a parental school tru
ants might be placed In It rather than the
Jail of the Juvenile court when they violate
their parole. Mr. Parker said:
"The parental school Is like the ordinary
public school except that every child at
tending It is closely watched and attend
ance Is absolutely compulsory. Jn cities
which have such a school the truant officer
gathers those together who stay away too
often from other schools and puts them
together In this one school. They must re
port to him every day. Many children
would, prefer this to being locked up and
they would feel the obligation of attend
ance more than at present.
"Iais Angeles has a parental school and
n detention home. The former Is such an
Institution aa I have described, and the
latter Is wmifc trs name signifies, a home.
The boys In It are under very strict disci
pline. If they prove unmanageable here.
they are sent to the reform school. I.os
Angeles believes in a succession of steps,
according to the preference of the boy or
gin concerned. First, there Is the public
school near their home, then tho parental
school, then the detention home, and last
the reform school."

Chairman Murdock of the republican city
central committee states that every Indi
cation points to a sweeping victory for
the republicans at the election on Tues
day. What little opposition there was to
the republican Roard of Education ticket
at first Is rapidly disappearing, arid all
factions, of the republicans appear to be
working for the entire ticket.
Friends of Dana Morrill, Jay lanverty
and Dr. V. I Curtis are making a strong
fight for them. A prominent cltlxen aald
Saturday In talking of Roard of Education
matters that Morrill and Iverty deserve
re-election for the cleaning up they gave
school affairs In the South Omaha dis
trict. The fact that Dr. Curtl Is pledged
to continue the policy Morrill and Laaverty
have Inaugurated Is making him ninny
friends. Dr. Curtis was formerly a teacher
and la well versed in educational affairs.
As election dn draws near Interest In
the election of a republican Board of Edu
cation Is increasing. While the republicans
have a thorough organization and nre
working together, there seems to be but
very little doing among the democrats. A
great many democrats appear to be op
posed to the candidates nominated at the
democratic convention and some of the
old-time democrats are reported to have
come out flat-footed for the republican
nominees. With harmony In the repub
lican ranks and scarcely any organization
at nil among the democrats the repub
licans say that they are sure winners.
Both the park and city hall bond propo
sitions are coming up for discussion these
days. Those who at first favored voting
the bonds for a city hall have switched
front and are openly fighting the propo
sition. Not nearly so much Interest Is
being taken in the park bonds as in the
city hall bonds. Judging from the talk on
the streets, both the city hall and park
bonds will be defeated. Those who pay
heavy taxes declare that the voting of
$260,000 for a new sewer system will Increase
the bonded debt of the city enough with
out going any deeper into debt. As matters
stand now nearly $40,000 each year Is puld
out for Interest on outstanding obligations.
Printed Instructions have been prepured
by City Clerk Gillln for the guidance of
Judges and clerks. Each voting precinct
will be issued a certain number of offl
clul ballots and these must be accounted
for when returns are made to the clerk. A
separate return Is to be made to the city
clerk on printed forms prepared for the
purpose and It Is thought that the public
will be given tho result of the election
not later than 11 o'clock on Tuesday night.

WORK ON PATHFINDER DAM
State Senator Snlllvan of Casper Has
an Eathtaslaatlc Word for
lac Project. ,
State 8enator Patrick Sullivan of Casper.
Wyo., an extensive sheep owner. Is at the
Iler Grand. He speaks very enthusias
tically of the government project to dam
the North Platte river about thirty-five
miles west of Casper and predicts that the
direct and Indirect effects from that great
enterprise will be of enormous value not
only to Wyoming, but also to northwestern
Nebraska. By means of this dam, and
others that are In contemplation, It will
be possible to maintain a serviceable stage
of water la the North Platte during the
dry season, thus making it possible to turn
water on land during a season when, here
tofore, it was Impossible. He thinks this
should be the cause of redeeming a great
acreage of land In northwestern Nebraska
that Is not now under cultivation. There
art now several Irrigation ditches In that
section owned by private parties, but these
do not redeem a very great extent of the
country. Of course those who take up land
there In the future will have the advant
age of, dealing with the government instead
of with private corporations.
"The extensions of the Chicago ft North
western and the Burlington railroads will,
In connection with the government Irriga
tion plans," continued Senator Sullivan,
"add very much to the development
of the country. The extension of the
Northwestern line Is essential to the con
struction of the dam I have spoken of,
as the enormous supply of material needed
will require transportation. It Is estimated
that 300 cars of cement will be consumed
In the construction of the dam. The work
of boring . a tunnel to carry the water
around the site of the dam so as to admit
of its construction Is alreay under way. In
addition to this dam an artificial lake that
will have an area of probably 150 square
miles will be constructed so as to conserve
tho rainfall and melting snows.' People,
generally do not realize the real scope of
the Irrigation plans now being prosecuted
by the government."
"With the development of the country
the famous H'ole-ln-th-Wall will no longer
he a safe resort for your bad men?" was
suggested to the senator.
"Well now, (f the truth is told about the
alleged resort of bandits and bad men
generally under the name of Hole-ln-the-Wall
It never was anything like as bad as
It was painted. We had, and possibly still
have, our share of bad men, but so far
as that particular hole Is concerned they
are all either dead or In the penitentiary.
Sensational papers ran the gamut of In
vent Ion In their stories of that place, and
the fact la that In Its very worst day It
was not a hundredth part aa bad as rep
resented. That section Is a thriving and
peaceable settlement and no one is In any
more danger living there than In any other
section of the west. The Hole-ln-the-Wall
will have to be given ud as a sensation
for it no longer furnishes the least excuse
for the many fictions that have been per
pet rated on a credulous public."
"PINAFORE" FOR CHARITY
Gilbert and Sullivan's Opera to He
Sanit' Inder Auspices of the
Knlathts of Colombo.
Sir Joseph Porter. K. C. B.. gallant com
mander of H. M. S. Pinafore, will cast

splendid crew showed their talent and skill
aa merrymakers at Crelghton university
hall a few weeks ago there has been a gen
eral request for a repetition of the opera.
The company has generously responded to
the demand and will be heard and enjoyed
again, this time In Boyd'a opera house on
the evening of May 11. The performance
will be given under the .auspices of Omaha
council. Knights of Columbus, and the pro
ceeds will be divided equally between St.
James' orphanage at Benson and the Home

tlarned and closed up. I hail all kinds of milses In my ears, i-ometimes like escapii K
steam, and other times like the blowing of whistles. Dr. Branaman restored my heai
ing. I can now hear a watch tick plainly."
Mrs. J. W. Clark. Princeton, Mo., says: "I had been a sufferer from catarrh '
the head and throat for several years. My noe was Mopped up and mucus would I r v

ELECTRICITY
Cures deafness permanently by npplylng
It to the ears. A mild current l passed
thrnimh the ears reducing an innamma-
tlon. relieving all thickened, shrunken
conditions of ear drums. 11 also acts as a
great nerve tonic, restoring and reviving
every nerve fiber to a healthy condition.
Distressing Asthma Cursd
I was troublrd with asthma for iweiity
flve vears. 1 would choke up, wherr.e.
could not breathe at night, had to sit up
all night many times. The only relief
was from burning ana iniiaiing umnniii
remedies, after which I could cough up
and breathe easier. I was treated by
Dr. Branaman live or six years ago. which
cured me. I have not had an attack since,
alwavs being able to sleep in oeu. ;o
more' wheeling or coughing. I am well.
