THE STATE CAPITAL
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO ALL
CITIZENS.
REESE AS THE CHIEF JUSTICE
This Is the Title He Will Bear Until
a Successor Is Chosen In the
Ycr.r 1914.
The Chief Justiceship.
Judgo M. 11. Rcoso will boar the
title of chief Justlco of the supremo
court from now until a successor Is
choson, who will tnko his place In
1914. This was announced the past
wcok, aftor a mooting or the now nug
mented court. Judge Ramos hns held
the title na ranking member of tho
court.
Tho change was made In accordance
with tho Interpretation which the
Judges placed upon tho nmendment
providing Tor the enlarged court. This
provides ror tho election or three
Judges In 1909. They will nil tho
plnces mndo vacant by expiration of
tho' torms of Judges Darnes, Sulllvnin
and Fawcott. In 1911 thrco will bo
elected to fill tho places nt tho expira
tion of tho terms of Judgo Letton,
Root nnd Rose. In 1913 one Judgo Is
to' bo elected to fill tho plnco of Judgo
Reese. Tho constitution In providing
for tho elections makes tho Judgo to
be elected In 1913 and ench six yoars
thorenftor chlcr Justice. It also pro
vldos that tho Judgo whoso term ex
pires at that tlmo shall bo chlor
Justice until then.'
That tho Tour remaining members
or tho old commission will contlnuo
to servo the stato nnd draw salaries
ror n tlmo yet is Indicated from tho
ruct that at tho first sitting of tho
court seven cases wore nsslgned to
tho commission for nrgumont. The
court nsslgned thirteen cases ror ar
gument bororo Itself.
Judge Sullivan wns not present
when tho court mot nnd usslgnod
enses. Ho nrrlvcd Inter nnd qualified
Immediately, sitting with the court
later to hear nrgumont. Rose, Root
and Fawcott wore alroady In Lincoln.
Judgo Sulllvnn has slnco tendered his
resignation and the same has been ac
cepted. The commissioners whoso places
will coaso to exist somotlmo between
now nnd tho first of April nro E. R.
Dufllo, E. C. Calkins, A. C. Epperson
and E. E. Good. Tho commission will
probably bo continued until after tho
cases which are In the lunula or these
rour members hnvo been decided. It
Is not likely, howovor, thnt they will
benr nny further cases after tho
present nlttlng.
Sullivan's Withdrawal Regretted.
Genulno nnd goncrnl regret has
been expressed on all sides at tho de
termination of Judgo Sulllvnn to re
linquish tho plnco on tho supreme
bencirofferod him by Governor Shel
don. At the same tlmo It Is freoly ad
mitted, that Judge Sullivan could nut,
In justlco to hlmseir, hnvo dono other
than he did.
There seems la hnvo boon n pretty
general reeling, howovor, that Judge
Sullivan's re-election to the bench
next year, had ho cared to enter tho
race, would havo boon without ques
tion. A dozen prominent republicans,
Including sovernl stato ofilcors, have
said that t!'ey bollovcd no man In tho
stato better qualified for the placo
than Judgo Sulllvnn nnd thnt they
would bo glad of tho opportunity to
vote Tor him.
There Is some criticism or Gov.
Sheldon Tor not mnklng Judge Sulll
vnn 0110 of tho three-year appointees.
It Is possible that, had this been done,
tho resignation would not hnvo been
tendered.
More Room Needed.
Stnto land Commissioner H. M.
Eaton will recomniond In his annual
report that, owing to tho crowded con
dition of tho state capltol building,
the legislature must either abolish
somo of the now departments It hns
created or (It up tho bnsomont for
ofllco rooms, or 1110 vo the state library
nnd tho department or Justlco to the
proposed historical building ncross the
street from too capltol grounds. The
hitter enn bo dono If tho loglslntiiro
makos on uppronrlatlon ror a histori
cal building large enough to accommo
date both tho society and tho depart
ment which It Is proposed to houso
tu the building.
Insurance Company Withdraws.
The Mutual Surety company or New
York has notified Insurance Deputy
Plorco that It has withdrawn front
the state and has so Informed Its
ngents. Tho company was ndmlttod .0
do buslnoss In Nebraska In 1900 an 1
hns been doing buslnesB here since.
While no explanation of its withdraw
al was given. It Is supposod by tho
insurance department that Its Nobras
ka business did not Justify It taking
out a license for tho coming year.
Maupln to Changs Tactic3.
Will M. Maupln, who has been chos
en labor commissioner by Govoruor
Elect Shnllonhprgor. will ndopt a few
different Ideas about tho inauagcmont
of (no bureau. "Mr. Ryder has done
n great work In gathering agricultural
statistics and calling attention to tho
resources of tho stato," said Mr.
Maupln, "and I shall ondeavor to koop
up that record. However, while try
ing to keep that work up to Its pres
out standard. I shall devotn consider
able time to Industrial statistics and
enjiuuvor to get moro Information."
CRUSADE ON TUBERCULOSIS.
Dr. Sward Devotes Much Space to
Discission of the Same.
Tho report of Dr. J. E. Sward,
secretary of the Honrd of Sccretnrlcs
of tho Stnto Hoard of Health to tho
Uonrd of Health Is devoted almost en
tirely to a discussion of tuberculosis,
what has been done and what should
be done to prevent the spread of this
disease in Nebraska.
According to Dr. Swnrd this dlseaso
costs the stato In flnancos, loss of
time from work, ovor $5,000,000 every
year, besides over 000 lives. Dr.
Sward makes the following rccommen-'
datlons:
Each state should provldo snnntorla
for Its own tubercular Indigent.
Persons In tho advanced stages of
tho disease, If hopeless, should bo
kept within the confines of their own
state.
All consumptives entering n stato
should show that they aro capable of
self support, and will receive benefit
rrom tho Nebraska climate.
All cases or tuberculosis should bo
roglstored, In order that immigrating
cases, escaping observation nt the
state line, can be reported Inter, If
found Indigent.
Tho board of secretaries of tho
stato board or health should havo com
ploto control of theso mnttcrs and of
this consus.
Evory private, local or stato hospital
should bo Inspected under tho sur
vellanco of tho state board of health,
and members of tho board or secre
taries should receive compensation
and expenses whllo doing this work.
Tho board also ecommonds that all
schools should be Inspected.
Str.tc Institutions.
Seiiilnnnunl reports or tho various,
state Institutions nro being received!
by Governor Sheldon nnd will bo fol-i
lowed shortly by tho receipt of tho
seml-nnnunl reports, with rccommen-'
dntlons, from the superintendents.
The seml-nnnunl reports show n con
dition of tho Institutions lndlcntlvo of
good management. Or tho seven
which have reported, five show n great
reduction In the cost per capita based
on maintenance, officers' nnd employ
es' wages. Tho two which show nn
Increase In the cost per capita aro
tho Girls' Industrial school, which ror
tho same period In 0 wns main
tained nt a cost per capital of $93.81.
agulnst $113.37 for tho six months
ending November 30, 1908; nnd tho In
Btltuto for the Illind. The per capita
cost In this Institution Increased from
$li.9t to $111.23.
Will Officials Be Removed?
A number of persons nro wondering
ir Governor-elect Shnllenbcrger In
tends to oust bodily tho heads or stato
Institutions whoso torm3 do not expire
ror some rour years. Superintendent
Kern or tho asylum at Hastings was
appointed May 1, 1907, for a term of
six years and Dr. Hay, superintendent
of tho Lincoln nsylum and Dr. Young
of tho Norfolk asylum havo commis
sions bearing the samo dates. The
