Omaha Dear Sir: I am advised this morn ing by the attorney generat e office that the attorney general has rendered an opin ion to the effect that under the primary law and the Slocumb law saloons are re quired to close on primary election day. September 3. JAMES P. ENGLISH. County Attorney. Chief Donahue announced he would see that the law was enforced and that all saloons would have to close. Tha county attorney's opinion Is based on the theory that the primary is an election In the meaning of the Slocumb law and the sec- tlon forbidding the sale of liquors on eleo- tlon day applies. The primary polls will be open in Omaha and South Omaha from 8. o'clock in the morning until 9 o'clock at night. In the country precincts from 12 o'clock, noon, registered voters are entitled to vote. "Bob" Smith has started explaining, but hn has not yet stopped. His explanation of the juggled bid for grocery supplies at the Bchdol "fof the' penf and tofib .' is "a ' eon fission In avoidance, because, the documents speak for themselves. It wss recalled, also. the almoat forgotten fact that about the same time back In 1903 tile county .board rejected a claim of 'Robert Smith & Bro. for 171 for "canned lobster" which the su perintendent of the county hospital was In some way or other Induced to oTder for the Inmates there. The board ' rejected the claim oh the ground ' that the price was much higher than the contract figure, tha contract being one of these balanced bida, offer' ng lobster In one-pound cans at II a dozen, relying on' the fact that canned lob ster Is not ordinarily ordered for sick peo ple. The bill put In by Robert. Smith & Bio. was more than double the contract figure. Here, too. Smith Is ready, with an explanation, which may be taken for what It is worth, aa follows- "The facts in the caan are like this: Mlnt- wiler & Puffier of New York sent us '. through their broker, Jones, a consignment of canned lobstor. I notified them that tho lobsters were turning color and they would have to take them back, as I oouldn't use them. Their broker, Jonea, then made a dual with the county to send them out to the hospital. This was done, and as they were billed in our name wa presented a bill for FT1 for them. Afterward the board rejected the goods and disallowed the claim ard ordered Minlwller St Dufllor to remove the gooda from the county hospital, which was done. The amount furnished to the board was from eight to ten caaea. It was a plain business transaction between Jones and tho board and we got in only because tlio goods had been originally consigned to us." ' . i The only fight on (he judicial ticket has centered around Judge Sutton. Tha Fen tanelles have -endorsed all seven ef tha sitting Judgea and have included their names on their sample ballots.

At noon Monday nine of those who had been ap pointed had not qualified, leaving aa many precincts without proper officiate. Aa It Is necessary for tha registrars to qualify be fore they, assume their duties tha situation looked serious. A policeman Will be sent to hunt up the delinquents and instruct them to. make a bee line for the city halL Members of the election board may be picked up Tuesday morning from among the early votera. but it Is not so easy to aecure registrars because of the legal red tape thst surrounds them. For this reason a special effort wilt be made to complete all tha boards before the polls open Tuesday morning. The difference In the situation thla year and In previous years Is very marked. Heretofore there were always a large num ber of men with sore spots all over them because they were unable to land places on the registration and election boards. Now the same men offer all klnda of ex cuses to get out of election and primary duty. The reason It said to be that every body has work and does not need the money and the work hat Increased con siderably In the last few years.

OMAIIA, Neb., Aug. 31.-To the Editor of Tho Bee: .Whits' strongly advocating all necessary means to uphold the laws, I must take exception to the editorial entitled "A Derelict Sheriff." The intent of the law haa been broken and overridden time and again by the higher courta of the state, and by the abuse of tha pardoning power vested with tho governor; and your crttlolam should have been directed against the Judges and governors whose findings and actions havs been such as to turn the sentiment of tha public, for whose protection these laws were enacted, to bantering satire rather than an appreciation of the dvgnlty of these laws. And "had the sheriff possessed the moral and phyaical stamina and a moderate com prehension of his offloial rights and obliga tions" to havs shot down, murdered, oltl zene who were only doing their duty In ridding a respeotabla community of a moat degraded criminal, and avenging a crime against the law and their fellow cltlsens, your editorial . columna would have de manded that thia aherlff bo hung beoauae he had ahot down, murdered, good citl rens, In defending tha worthless life of a confessed murderer. It Is well' enough for you, who fight only .with Ink. to sit be blnd your desk and tell the public how this sheriff . should have' taken the Uvea of reputable cltlsens, and risked his own life and that' of his brother offloer In defending the life of a murderer, under a law which demands that he himself shall kill at tha proper time.-' r ". - A newspaper Is supposed ' to . be well equipped for the purpose of ferreting out Just such news, plots, . and Intrigues as i you state existed among the cltlsens of the community where thla ur waa hung; and yet all' the Omaha newspapers' forces of reporters, (and reporters are generally credited with being; the shrewdest of deteo- tlves) did not expose this intended lynching, yet blame th sheriff for not knowing ol the existence or this plot. "The Sheriff of Thurston county Is responsible for the stain placed up on Nebraska.'! If there la any stain upon the State of Nebraska It Is chargeable dl rectly to the lack of execution of the spirit of the laws by the Judges of the higher courts; to the women and preachers Who offer such criminals encouragement and moral support, and exert their efforts for commutation of sentence or pardon; to governors who grant such commutation or pardon. The editors are blameable for their full ahare of any stain on tho name Of tha state for the notoriety they give auch mat ters under enormous headlines on the first page of their papers, end then heralding to the world, in their editorial columna, tha "stamina" they possess In criticising sheriff for not killing useful citltena. honorable and reputable man. In defense of a man the law requires him to kill, or It ha did not, would bo pardoned or his sentence commuted, and he, like the crlral nat Dalton, guilty of many murders, would be lauded on tha page opposite your edito rial aa taking a prominent position where reputable men and women must of neces sity have dealings with such a degraded person. . The fair name of the State of Nebraska could not, suffer more than It doea from the fact that tha women and preachera of Its largeat city should offer encouragement to a brute who committed so henlous crime. Tha worde of condolence, the offers of assistance and moral support.' and eve tha flowers sent to tha criminate In our Jatla and penitentiaries are nothtng more or less than encouragement to crime of tha worst nature. Their time and their efforts snd the money thy expend In this way could be turned to a thouaandfold ' better advantage. M. F. CHAFER. cures all Kidney. Bladder and Rheumatie troubles.

But how much better that slogan would look in the party organ if it were placed over the names of all the good republi cans who are candidates for places on the ticket, instead ol over the selections of a faction. Just think how factionalism would be impossible if the party organ would trust the rank and file of the party to choose th party ticket-giving every as pirant a fair field and no favor. Don't you think that this thing of having the editor of the party organ make up oui ticket, whether his action is merely advisory or Teally dicta torial, promotes factionalism? Can't the party' organ trust the rank and file of the party to select a ticket worthy of the sup port of said party organ? It can but, it doesn't. Every candidate who has filed for a republican nomination will swing in lino, far. the .ticket nom inated on Tuesday, Sept. 3. So we will -surely have har mony, no matter who wins at the primary. And we will wipe out faction alism just as soon as we ignore ' ' recommendation, ' " 'dictation ' ' or any other form of slatewnak ing. Factionalism will be dead when the party organ prints the names of all the candidates and says to the rank and file "Taka your choice you can be trusted to pick a winning ticket." .
