THE OMAHA DAILY BEF,: WEDNESDAY, JULY . IPOS. Aft r' 3amra fflonrar FUlk President of u L'nlMd Btetas. I IT was in the Hall of Oratory, William I and Mary College, 1776. Patrick Henry stood on the platform; elo quently, passionately, convincingly he spoke of human rights, constitutional guarantees, Personal Liberty. A young student, tall and blonde, with eyes of blue and heart of fire, listened in tently. Tossing aside cap and gown, he buckled on his sword, saying, "Words are good; deeds are better." At Harlem, White Plains and Brandy wine, he fought bravely; and on a bitter cold Christmas morning his blood splashed the frozen paving stones of old Trenton Town. Step by step he rose to power; and today his name is inseparably associated with the most significant international Doctrine of modern times. At three score and fourteen he died a true Virginia gentleman the descendant of an old family of Scottish Cavaliers and at his hospitable home at Oak Hill, good ale was brewed and ever on his board.

"Did you notice the item in the dis patches about the retirement of Judge Lochrcn of Minnesota and the appoint ment of Milton G. Furdy to take his place on the federal bench? That ia another place where "Our Dave" has failed to con nect," remarked a man who brought his I Information from Washington. "Ex-Congressman Mercer's wife Is a niece of Judge Lochren and Mercer came to members of tho Nebraska delegation In congress not long ago with the representation that this resignation was In sight, but eub Ject to his control. He had a scheme by which the resignation was to be pulled off. dependent upon the appointment to the place thus vacated of one of the pres ent Judges of the court of claims, and further conditioned on the appointment of Mercer to the proposed vacancy on the court of claims. What Mercer wanted was the endorsement and active upoort of the Nebraska delegation for the court of claims position. I don't know what en couragement he got, but the announce ment of the Purdy nomination evidently means that Dave fell down." test results from Bee Want Ads.

Tho report of County Assessor Shriver to the estate Board of Equalization will show an increase in the total assessment of Douglas county, excluding railroads, of over $9.0:0.0 0. The revised figures c mtaln lng the changes ninile by tho County Board of Eaual zatlon Wire compiled Tuesday art rrnoon. As compared with the assessment roll lost year the figures are us follows: 1ftf 1!7. Personal $ 4-,: 08,770 I 5 i.-M.SM Boil estate 115.0i,315 lUI.WKJ.B.v Tola s $1C,3,97D,085 $154,771 130 These figures do not Include the rullroad ass sHiiunt, which is made by the state b.ard and certified back to the county board. The figures for 1907 on personalty also include raises made by tho State Hoird of Equallaatlon on certain classes of personal property. As compared with the leport of the county board a year ago be fore the state raise was added the person alty assessment la $397.45 higher than last year, when It was $4S,51fl,925. Big Increase on Real Estate. The big Increase In the assessment Is on real estate, the assessment being $10,759,415 larger than it waa in 1907. The personal assessment as it left the Board of Equalization Is considerably lower than It was when It left the asses sor s hands. Tha board made reduction amounting to $MS9.395, and Increases to $2?J 375, a net reduction of $635,395. One reason for the reduction In the per aonal assessment Is the almost comDlet disappearance from the assessment roll c the estate of the late Count Creighton Last year the estate-was assessed at 11.350 0H). This yetir not more than $40,000 of thi property is assessed. The reason for thl is mat me bulk of the property went educational and charitable Institutions a la not taxable. Very little of that pari winch went to Individuals was assoase tho beneficiaries confronting the board most crises and claiming they hod none 1 little of the property left, having paid all out In decreasing their Indebtednet Tills item slone will practically make up the difference between the assessment alter the state board had Increased it and the figures this year. In order to recue the records of the dis trict court from the chaos caused by the recent decision of the supreme court in the test fee case, District Clerk Smith and a number of attorneys favor a complete change In the fee system as It applies to the court. They advocate the adoption of the flat fee system in use In Illinois and some other status. I'nder this plan a litigant pays a flat feo at tho beginning of the suit and this feo covers all the court costs, whether tha case Is long-drawn-out or Is quickly disposed of. I'nder the present plan, tho district clerk makes a charge for each specific service performed. Tho supreme court In the test cafe in effect decided that the clerk Is in duty bound to collect a fee in advance for re Cording orders, decres and Judgments of the court, and that the district court cannot compel the clerk to record a Judgment or decree on tho Journal or make a complete record In a case finally d'sposed of with out payment of the fees for the service or without good security for the costs. Heretofore It has been tho custom to make a complete record of the proceedings f the court from day to day, recording In the Journal -all orders made on the dockets by the Judges. This Will nil be changed now and under the new decision only such orders will bo entered as aro paid for by the litigants. If the court enters Judgment In a caso no record will bo made of it In the dlstrirt clerk's office until the Interested litigant pavs the feo for recording It. Without this entry there will be no official record of what has been done In those cases where the recording fees are not paid. 1 Record of Cash Only. Under this plan the court Journal, Instead of being a complete record of tho acts of the court, will be a complete record of cases only in which the costs have been paid. It will be necessary for litigants to seo to it that their costs are kept fully paid up. X'nder the rule tho advance fee will probably become more popular than It was when It was Introduced. The new rulo will mean a large saving for the county, as thousands of dollars have been earned and uncollected In years past. Now there will be no unpaid costs at the end of a suit, as every specific act performed by the clerk will have to be paid for in advance. Under the decision of the court we can do nothing else but refuse to record orders of the court until the fees are paid,", said District Clerk Smith, discussing tho deci sion. "This will result in considerable con fusion arising out of unrecorded orders of the court, but It cannot be helped. In order to lessen the confusion we ask that attorneys co-operate with us In seeing the fees are kept paid up far enough In advance to cover the recording of court orders." CENSUS FOR THE GOVERNMENT itatlstiea Will Be (iathrred In Omaha j by Colonel C. F. tioodlna of j hlnarton. Colonel C.

ORCHARD & W1LHELM. NEW WAY TO TRAP OUTLAWS Rankers and Hotel Men to Co-Operate Toward Apprehension of Culprits. Arrangement has been made with the Ne braska Bankers' association whereby the hotel clerks' organization will receive promptly the names ami 'descriptions of forgers, swindlers and 'Other recreant in dividuals operating in this vicinity. This announcement was made Monday night at the meeting of the Nebraska Hotel Clerks'. association, which was held at the Hen sliaw hotel. The meeting was the largest attended of any held for some months.' No Indebtedness with a cash balance was the report mad by Treasurer Joe Keenan. Chief Clerk Harvey Foote of the Hotel Loyal was admitted into membership and Invited the members to meet at the new hotel at some future date. Secretary F. B. Pates was selected to represent the organ ization at the annual convention at Dead- wood In August. Bankers of Nebraska will not organize a mutual burglary insurance company, as the Nebraska Barkers' association failed to re ceive enough applications and has returned the subscriptions received. A letter giving notice of the failure of the plan to enlist enough enthusiasm to make it a go has been sent to the bankers ot the state by W. H. Hughes, secretary. In part It reads as follows: Too many of our bankers held back to see if enough banks would subscribe. A thing of this kind needs enthusiastic support from everyone. Our subscription blank plainly stated that It was not binding until' at least 4"0 did subscribe the necessarv amount, but they seemed to miss this point. While so many were waiting for each other to act the subscription list lagged, so the whole thing has to bo dropped. We have lost a good chance to get our burglary in surance and bonds for almost nothing. Too bad.
