Judge Sullivan
Practicing lawyers know, even if the
laymen do not, ' that' for brevity and
clearness of expression the opinions
written by Chief Justice Sullivan are
excelled by none. Judge Sullivan has
the happy faculty of getting right at
the meat of a legal controversy and ex
pressing himself in terse, crisp sen
tences. In this respect his style is
much like that of the late Judge Ma
son, who always knew what to say,
how to say it, and when to stop. Judge
Sullivan believes that nothing is
gained by reiteration, but prefers to
state his points clefly in the first in
stance and but once.
Comparatively few of the cases
which come before the supreme court
can be said to be, of general public
importance. Of course, every case is
important to th- contending litigants
and their counsel; and in like manner
to lawyers generally, who use the de
cision as a guide to future litigation.
Out of the hundreds of opinions writ
ten by Judge Sullivan during the al
most six years of his incumbency, the
following may be mentioned as of
public interest:
State v Omaha National Bank, 93
Northwestern Reporter, 334.
C. B. & Q. v Martclle, 91 N. W. 367.
" State v Meserve, 58 Neb. 453.
State v Frank, 60 Neb. 355. ;
U. P. v Roeser, 95 N. W. 71.
Blaco v State, 91 N. W. 878.
Neb. Telephone Co. v Cornell, 59
Neb. 483.
State v.Omaha National Bank, 60
Keb. 232.
Cornell v Irving 56 Neb. 669.
State v Standard Oil, 61 Neb. 29.
State v C. R. I. & P. R. Co., 61 Neb.
545. '
: State v Porter, 95 N. W. 769.
' - Paxton v State, 59 Neb. 460.
In addition to these, the following
will be found, in part, to contain mat
ters of public concern:
Barber v Crowell. 55 Neb. 573.
" Ashland v May, 59 Neb. 733.
Chapman v State, 61 Neb. 892.
State v Kennedy, 60 Neb. 309.
M. K. & T. R. Co. v Clark, 60 Neb.
410.
Richards y State, 91 N. W. 879. .
Reed v State, 92 N. W. 323.
Hare v Winterer, 90 N. W. 543.
The Independent respectfully sub
mits. this list for the. consideration, of
thoughtful men. An investigation of
the opinions therein written by Chief
Justice Sullivan, will show him to be
a. man actuated by a high sense of
fustlce. There is no straining after ef
feet,' but an earnest endeavor to ascer
tain the truth and decide accordingly.
Next week and later The Independent
expects to take up some of tuese cases
more In detail, but in the meantime,
leaders of The Independent can con
sult the reports themselves in the li
brary of any reputable lawyer.
Judgi E. 0, Kretsinger
Harvey E. Newbranch has been mak
ing a tour of the First judicial district
as staff correspondent of the World -Herald
and gives an interesting review
oi' the situation in Gage, under a Bea
trice date line of the 21st. Relative
to one of the fusion candidates, Judge
E O. Kretsinger, Newbranch says:
"Kretsinger has been a practicing at
torney in Beatrice for twenty years,
and is in the prime of his physical
and mental manhood. He has perhaps
as large and lucrative a practice as any
member of the Gage county bar, and
makes a heavy sacrifice to accept the
nomination to the bench. He is a
highly educated man, holding two col-

incorruptible lawyer. His reputation
in this regard is state wide. His
standing in the city and county is per
haps best attested by citing the posi
tions of responsibility he has been
called on to fill. From 1882 to 1886 he
served as county judge; from 1893 to
194 as city attorney, and from 1896
to 1900 as mayor, being elected to this
latter position as the result of a gen
eral, non-partisan movement to draft
the best brains and ability to be had
to further the interests of the city. He
is the only man Beatrice ever re-elected
mayor and, by common consent,
by far the best and most successful
mayor the city has had.
"Kretsinger has enemies in Bea
trice and Gage county and glories :'n
them. He refuses to be retained by
the year by railroad corporations, to
decline to be retained in damage suits
against them. On the contrary, he has
fought many such suits and has won
most of them for s clients. A man
absolutely fearless, no opposition ap
pals him, however sreat. So he has
htppeared as attorney in other suits,
of a public nature, that other attor
neys, for policy's sake, would hesitate
to accept. Kretsinger has accepted
them and fought to the last ditch. In
doing so, of course, he has made ene
mies. Some of them are in his own
party and are opposing him this fall.
But of them all, not one can be found
who will question Ms absolute and uu--t

swerving honesty. And in return for
their loss he has multitudes of repub
lican friends that make him, admitted
ly, one of the most formidable vote
getters in the district. It is said that
every minister i.' Gago county is for
Kretsinger and this, notwithstanding
that he is not affiliated with any
church. And of the enemies he has
made, many are supporting him. Said
one of them,. a -tisui of high standing
and a state reputation:
" 'Kretsinger rncl I are not friends,
but I will say for him he's an honest
man and an able lawyer, ai.d I would
trust him ou the bench to decide any
To Those Not Well
Dr. Shoop's Restorative
On 30 Days' Trial
For a full month you can use my Restorative,
I to take the entire ri.k. Not a free gift. Neither
is it pnnantnropy. fcot someiumg iornotnmg
just this. I have found a way to cure, even
deep seated, difficult or peculiar diseases. Dr.
Shoop's Restorative cures by x new method. It
goes direct to the CAUSE of disease the inside
nerves. I am the only physician that treats
this way through these nerves. It is MY dis
covery, my prescription Dr. Shoop's Kestora
tive that does this so surely, is so certain, that
I am able to say to the sick: Use it a month and
see for yourself. That should prove MY conn
denee. You see, I KNOW what it cun do. I
take less risk, though, than you would believe.
My past records show that I failed in only one
case out of each forty. Just think of that, 39
paid, and paid gladly, and the fortieth had no
expense. That is a record I am proud of.
How to Secure Trial Treatment
Write me and simply ask for the book you
need. A postal will' do. Then 'I will arrange
with a druggist near you, so that you can secure
six bottles of Dr. Shoop'sRestorative to make
the test. Send me no money. You deal with
your druggist, remember. Use the Restorative
a full month then decide. If it succeeds, the
cost to"you is 85.50; if it fails I will have the
druggist bill the cost to me. Could anything be
more fair? ,
To delay means to forget. Write now while
you have it in mind. This is important.

book yon want, and

and every case that came tefore him,
on its merits, nd without prejudice. !
Frankly, I don't like t vote for him,
but it's Hobson'o choice. Even to me
he 's much preferable to senility or ras
cality.' "And it is said that every man who
was ever a client of Krctsinger's is for.
him, regardless of politics.
"Perhaps no attorney has appeared
against Kretsinger otraer in a law
suit, or :tad more hr.rd uhtc vith him,
in law and in politics, than R. S. Bibb.
Yet Mr. Bibb frcnkly gives Kretsinger
his support in this campaign. 'As a
county judge,' said Mr. Bibb, Kret
sirger was absolutely upright, fair and
impartial. Nobody had a pull in his
court, or stood better than anybody
else. He walloped me a good many
times, but I never failed to recognize
his integrity and knowledge of -the
law. As a man, a citizen or a lawyer,
I give him a high rating.'"
Socialist theories grow more puz
zling every day. From a lot of litera
ture published by them, both in this
country and Europe, lying on the edi
torial desk, the following is taken:
Revolution, not reform." "Socialism
is the brotherhood of man and the
fatherhood of God." "Socialists must
first establish class consciousness."
"Egoism and economic determinism
cannot be eliminated from the social
istic propaganda." "The ethics of so
cialism is identical with the ethics of
Christianity." "Socialism does not ad
vocate revolution; it is rather a fer
vent endeavor to prevent it," etc.
No new indictments have been re
turned against George W. Beavers
during the last twenty-four hours. The
postmaster general must have struck
a snag. For six months whenever a
new rascality was discovered among
the Washington officeholders, a new
indictment has been found against
Beavers, to allay the public rage.
A prominent New Jersey democrat
writes The Independent: "Time will
justify your cutting away from the
democrats. Bryan will not be able. to
control them next year. The only man
here In the east that can disturb the
plans of Cleveland & Co. is William R,
Hearst. If Bryan and Hearst should
work together, they might make a
platform and no- in ate whom they
please. Hearst represents taxation re
form; Bryan, money reform. These
two reforms are but one and the samo
thing. They will Jiave to go togethet
in order to be successful." V
