J THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FUN DAY, APRIL 2. 190S, BIENNIAL ELECTIONS BILL Xemben of Conititntional CoDTention EipreM Opinioni of New Law. I ) INTENT OF THE STATE CONSTITUTION ' Idea nf fhe Kramers XV to Krrp the Jadlrlarr ana the I nlirraltf .' Oat At rollflra as 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. AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Closing of Citj Campaign Findi the Republicans Confident. 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. Ximirroiis Robberies Reported. 8ometlme Saturday morning the hard ware store of K. E. Darling. Twenty-fourth and J streets, was broken Into by thieves and two bicycles and some cutlery and revolvers stolen. This Is the second time within a few months that this store has been burglarized. Each time the front window has been smashed. Detectives Elsfolder Is working on the caRe. but up to last night had not secured any truce of the stolen property or the burglars. There Is quite an amount of petty thiev ing; going on and for p number, of days the police Irnve been' picking up suspicious characters and holding them for short sentences. Chief Brlggs makes the statement that be has only twelve uniformed men to walk beats night and day. Aside from the uni formed men. two Jailors are employed. one detective, a captain and the chief, making a total of seventeen. In speaking of the Darling robbery the chief said that there ought to bo two men on Twenty fourth street. The night officer on this beat has to walk from Twenty-fourth and A streets to Twenty-fourth and Q streets He Is compelled to report by telephone each hour. All of the night bents with the exception of the N street beat are too long. More men are needed, hut the funds apportioned for the police de- pn'tment will not permit any more offlcera being put to work. An effort will be made to secure an Increased appropriation when the 1WX5 levy Is made. Commercial Club Meeting:.

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."
