follows:
OMAHA. Bent. 2, J9(l7.-Chlef of Police.
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." '

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.

"llamony wipe out faction
alism."
That's a good slogan my
sentiments exactly.
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." .
