Daily Journal In a Hole Pulls Hole in After it and Closes Down the Cover. NEW JOB AT THE COURT HOUSE Office of County Clairvoyant Re quired if Journal Construc tion of Law is Right.. It is generally believed that a man who has been elected to the state legis lature is a pretty smart sort of a fel low, but it took just about two columns in the Journal last evening for the editor thereof to show how ignorant he was of the law. The late lamented legislature was probably composed of more pig headed members than any legislature that ever convened in Ne braska. We don't mean to assert that the editor of the Journal, who was a member of that legislature was "pig headed," Nay, nay, Pauline. Far from it. But it may be that having asso ciated all winter with so many of thHt kind he might have become inoculated with the germ, so to speak. In any even his attempt to answer the argu ment of the Daily News of Saturday regarding the construction of the law in the matter of Sheriff Quinton over the fees of his office, was so awful punk and nonsensical, that it leads one to believe that either the Journal takes its readers to be fools or else the asso ciations of last winter were very harm ful to that editors think tank. The Journal maks two quotations of the law. First he quotes it right, then attempts to quote it the second time and leaves out that much of the law which is the part that settles the Doint in controversy. The part he eaves out is as follows: Make a report to the Board of county commissioners or supervisors under oath, showing the different items of fees except mileage col lected or earned, from whom, at what time and for what serice, since the last report,' The slippery editor of the Journal leaves out the above and also leaves out the commer immediately following the word "report," in order to make the law read in a way that will deceive the people who read the Journal into the belief that his contention is cor rect. But in his anxiety to deceive the people he makes himself appear redic ulous by quoting the law as follows: "Shall under oath report to the board of county commissioners on the first Tuesday in January, April, July and October, the amount col lected for the current year and shall then pay all fees over to the county treasurer." How in the world the sheriff is going to pay over fees for the CIKRENT year, in April or July or October, is some thing we are unable to understand. Is the sheriff supposed to be gifted with second sight and can look forward into the future nine months and can tell in April just what fees will be collected for the rest of the year? Can he tell when he makes his report in July for the past three months what the fees are going to be for the next six months? Can he tell the first of Octo k. W rwhat his fees will be for the rett of the year and would the Journal ex pect the sheriff after gazing into the far distant future and discovering the amount of fees he expected to collect, to pay to the county those fees before they were ever earned? When the Journal quotes the law there are some things that it should be sure about. First, thot it quotes it right, Second, that it punctuates right, third that it understands the meaning of the words used, and fourth that it really knows what it is talking about. By following those suggestions it will appear much more reliable and less a laughing stock. If the Journal's construction of the law is the correct one, there will be an opening for a job for some good clair voyant at the court house in the future, for it can hardly be expected that the sheriff should go to the expense of a seance every time he wants to make his quarterly reports for the current YEAR. LATER:-The following action was tken by the county board at their meeting this afternoon: "V. v. uuinion niea wun me county Y ... board a request that they check up his books immediately. Board refused to grant the request until the last of the year, at which time the board will check the books of all county officerB as the law requires." Racek Koubek. Joe Kacek and Miss Mary Koubek were married in the Holy Rosary church in this city Monday, Father Shine offi ciating. The happy couple will reside in this city, he being employed in the Burlington coach shop. Miss Bertha Swift of Henry, III, who has been the guest of the family of her cousin, A. W. Atwood, departed for her home Tuesday. Miss Swift was returning from Colorado, where she en joyed a visit with relatives and with the climbed Tikes Peak. Pet Democratic Law Broken Democratic State Committee Breaks the Law Passed in the Special Interests of W. J. Bryan. The Lincoln Evening News, a paper which the democratic press delights to quote as being all right published in its issue of Tuesday the following: "On the same day that Governor Shallenberger puhlished his state nent criticising repuhlican members of the supreme court and the federal court of Nebraska for nullifying laws pasted by the democratic legislature, the demo cratic Btate committee annulled and violated another act of the same body which no republican authority has at tacked. By failing to file anywhere in Nebraska within the time legally spec ified a statement of contributions re ceived for their campaign, the officers of the democratic state committee have not only become nullifiers, within the definition laid dowh by the gover nor, but have shown their contempt for or u forgetfulness of a cardinal tenet espoused by William J Bryan in his presidential campaign one year ago. While the accredited reprsentatives of the Nebraska democracy were thus setting at naught a statute which no body has undertaken to assail in the courts, the republican state committee was taking steps for full and exact compliance with that statute. Its ob serverance of the law has been com pleted by filling with the clerk of Paw nee county, which is the voting resi dence of Treasurer H. C. Lindsay, a detailed statement of the receipts up to last Saturday and a supplementary showing for Monday, which was the last day allowed for getting the first report on record. The republican com mittee will obey the additional require ment of the campaign publiciity act by filing daily statements of its receipts from now until election. At th beginning of the campaign, the democratic state headquarters was removed to Columbus, where Chair man J. C. Byrnes and Vice Chairman Chris Gruenther have been in charge. If any report of campaign expendi tures were made by the democratic committee, it would probably be there inasmuch as Byrnes and Gruenther are in full control of the party organization and work. Euitor Strother of the Columbus Journal, who is a republican, went to the county clerk's office in that city this morning, accompanied by a wit ness, and demanded of the officer to be shown any report of campaign funds collected which had been filed by or for the democratic state committee. He was informed that no repcrt of any kind or character had been filed, and the clerk said he knew nothing about it. The clerk is a democrat and a political associate of Byrnes and Gruenther. Dr. P. L. Hall of Lincoln is treasurer of the democratic committee, and it would have been possible under the law for him to file the statement of cam paign receipts in this county. He has not done so. The following telegram was sent this morning to William J. Bryan at Ed monton, Alberta, where he is billed for an address today during a tour of west ern Canada: "Nebraska campaign publicity law, enacted by last legislature, has been observed by republican state commit tee and ignored by democratic. Time limit for first filling and two subsequent daily reports now past. Please wire comment. LINCOLN EVENING NEWS." In order to make sure of reaching Mr. Bryan, the same message was wired him at Calgary, Alberta, where he spoke on Monday. At 2:!i0 this afternoon, no reply had been received from Mr. Bryan, but this may be due to difficulty in reaching him on his journey from Calgary to Edmonton. The contention of Mr. Bryan and his political lieutenants all through the the canvass of 1903 was that publicity j should come before election, in order that the voters might be cognizant of what funds had been placed at the dis posal of each party, and where they came from. The democratic state com mittee, composed of Mr. Bryan's fol lowers, has apparently forgotten this cardinal feature of his presidential pro gram in its efforts to make the non partisan judiciary issue paramount.
