to direct the work of th grand Jury

capacity, and it will devolve upon

his selection with results. In .this

The Third Term.
The action ot th house In dodging
a vote on th resolution offered by
th democratic member from Texss
decrying a third term will hav small
effect oa public favor or disfavor of
third term candidates for president.
It makes little difference whether
congress resolute for or against a
third term, Inasmuch aa members ot
congress hav no more vole in th
matter than ordinary private citisens.
So fsr as concerns th third term,
th htstorio facts ar recorded and
Indisputable that oar flrst president.

term, which he undoubtedly might

. The Democrats and Their Xecord.
It ass conceded when the present
session of congress convened that the
democrats must go into the campaign
of 1912 upon ita record more than
upon the record ot the late extra
session. What have the democrats,
with their house majority and en
larged representation In the senate,
done thus far on which they could
look for popular favor?
The course ot the democrats up to
date has been entirely reactionary and
their achievements negligible. They
have played politics from the first.
and poor politics. In the judgment of
many ot their own party, at that.
They have taken a declslv aland on

The Dickens Ceitenary,

James Grant Wilson recalls thst
William M. Thackeray and Charles
Dickens, bora seven months apart,
both mad two visits to th United
Slates "for the purpose of Increas

chief purpose Of Dickens' visit la

Commission flan for States.
Rather hailly, and perhaps uncoa
sclously, th Lincoln Journal pro
poses a commission plan ot state
government Th Journal Is trying
to explain where th trouble lies In
our present form of state govern
ment, asserting thst whatever lack
t economy and efficiency there is. Is
a fault of th system rather than of
th official. Th state baa public
business to be superintended, and
under th constitution, requires us
to elect tor thst purpose eleven
superintendents "to do what bait aa
many or less could do," and thua In
vite halt service. "The trouble," the
Journal repeats, "Is that we provide
an unnecessary number of superin
tendents" In th eleven foremen to
manage th stats' working force.
"Th cities,' it adds, "respond to a
similar situation with a reduction ot
the n limber of foremen to a commis
sion ot five. We can do th earn tor
th stats It we hav too many there."
If we take ap a commission plan
of atat government, we will have to
reverse our recent policy. We in
Nebraska hav beea Increasing
rather than decreasing the number
ot elective state officers. Ws added
three railway commissioners five
year ago, and we added four su
preme judges three years ago, and
we have atill more a-comlng. The
commission plan would make us re
duce the number, and concentrate

WAYNE. Neb., Feb. a-To the Editor
of The Bee: Having seen ao much lately
about seed corn in tbe press, one not
acquainted with the fanners of Ne
braska must think they are a very Ig
norant class. I must say that In thirty-
one years of residence In northeast Ne
braska I never have seen tbe time yet
that tbe farmer was not up to the times,
not ealy In selecting good seed, but In
farming and stock raising In general. I
I't help but feel that some of the
statements sent eut from the state farm
ar not only casting a alur oa tbe fanners
but the state as well. One not well ac
quainted with th saviors ot the poor
farmer would think that the fanners
would Bead a guardian.
As te where good seed core can be got
ten, I will say that Wayne county can
furnish seed corn that Is good. I have
but tested corn from aa open roof, I
kicked tbe corn out ef tbe snow and Ice
and without any particular car and tt
tested T7J per cent This Is not aa ad
vertisement as I am not In the seed kuat-
fl, but If any of the mea that feel
such a burden resting oa them that they
must look after the farmers, will write
me I will put them in touch with mea
that have com that will make good seed.

In one respect Nebraska's Lrd Camp
bell's act of 19SI Is a monstrosity. Under
that law, if a man should be killed in a
railroad wreck, and should leave a widow
but no child, and should leave a million
aire brother who sustained as pecuniary
loss through tbe death the amount of re
covery would be limited to the actual
pecuniary loss sustained by tbe widow.
Then, when that amount is collected the
widow will be compelled to band over
