We publish the following com munication this week from Lin coln favoring the nomination of honest , conscientious judges for our district and supreme courts , which apply well to our present honest and fearless judges of this district Westover and Harring ton , as well as to Otto William Miier , ofwhom we give a bio graphical sketch and his platform for the judgeship. It is good read ing matter and inspires anew the life blooJ of democracy : Our government is based upon the principle of equality of all persons be for the law. I adhere to the doctrine that all governmental authority is of riiht derived from the. people and that all public officials should be di rectly responsible th the people. This , I say , applies to the judiciary as well as to the legislative , ex ecutive and administrative depart ments of governmeLt. Every judge shoul 1 be the ser vant of the people. The judges of all our courts should constantly keep in mind that it is the duty of a judge to safeguard and protect the rights of the people. At the coming primary election the people are to select candidates for important judicial positions. It is essential that men with the proper conception of their duties be selected for judges of the coun ty courts , and it is just as impera tive that the people select the proper kind of men to preside ov er the district courts throughout the state as it is to nominate and elect the right kind of a man judge of the supreme court. More cases are disposed of in the district courts than are' carried up to the supreme court , and , therefore , the people should feel that they can obtain justice in the lower courts. The kind of a man that should be elected judge of the supreme court is one whom the Almighty has endowed with a democratic beart , a democratic mind and a democratic soul ; ho should be a democrat in the highest sense of the word , because as is the heart , the mind and the soul of the judge so also will be his decisions. A judge possessing these qualifica tions will have a beneficial effect , upon all the departments of the government. The influence of such a judge presiding in the high est tribunal of the state will make itself felt throughout the entire judiciary and will strengthen the faith of the people in our govern ment. Our courts have been regarded as the bulwark of the rights of the people , but there is suspicion that the people cannot obtain justice in the courts , that special privileges fly to the courts for protection , and that such privileges are shield ed by the courts. Whether this suspicion is well founded or not , it should be dispelled by electing men concerning whom there can be no question as to where they stand and what their motives are. The people cannot have faith in a tribunal which is constantly ov erruling , modifying , criticising , reversing and disapproving its own holdings. The record of the supreme coui t of this state is such that the best and most eminent lawyers cannot do more than guess what that court will do. This con dition of affairs has tended tc bring the courts of this state into ill repute , and at the best the SALE special values we have to offer you : Men's Two-Piece Light Ribbed Wear , regular 61.50 values.

Cases are appealed to the supreme court where they are reversed or remanded - manded or disposed of on technical points instead of b\ing decided upon the merits involved in the action. What the people am demanding is a judiciary that will mete out justice , a tribunal where redress for wrongs can be obtained , where the humblest citizen will b on an equal footing with the most wealthy of the land , where the law will be impartially interpreted and impartially applied and litigation speedily determined. I am mindful of the responsibil ity and important duties of a judge of the supreme court , and it has been with reluctance that I have consented to be a candidate for this high office in response to petitions that have been filed with the secretary of state that my name be placed upon the official primary ballot. As such candi date I deem it my duty to say to the people of the state of Xe- braska that I have no other motive in permitting my name to go be fore the electors of this state than to assist in ray humble way to place the government/of this state in the hands of the people. Jf I am nominated and elected I will faithfully and fearlessly discharge the duties of that office according to the best of my ability. 1 will not impropei ly influence in any way the vote of any elector , and I will not accept or receive , di rectly or indirectly , any money or other valuable thing from any corporation , company , or person , or any promise of office , for any official act or influence , and in the peformance of m.y duty as such officer ) will be governed by the principle of equality before the law , equal rights to all and special privileges to noae.
