LINCOLN, Feb., 27. To Ihe Editor of
Tho Bee: The question as to whether or
not there shall bo an election In 1313
must be decided by the supreme court,
Ijut "before that decision Is made a study
of the, provisions of the constitution may
bo' interesting and profitable.
' The Constitutional amendment adopted
four or five years ago provided for ad
ditional members of the supreme conrt
and Increased salaries. It provided for
the selection of a chief Justice, and since
that time Judge Reese' has been that
chief Justice.
The constitutional amendment adapted
In 1912, familiarly called the "biennial
election law," provided for trie election ot
three Judges of the supreme court In
191B and three In 1918, each to '.hold for
six years, and for the election' of a chief
Justice In 1920 and very six years there
after. Provided, That the member of ,iho su
preme court whose term of office expires
In January. 1914 (Reese), shall be chief
Justice of the supreme court until the
expiration of his term of office.
This plainly pointed to the expiration
of the term of Judge Reese In January.
1914, and, therefore,'' for the election of a
successor In the fall of 1913.
The next section of the amendment,
fixing the time for holding general "elec
tions, Is best shown by drawing a paral
lel between that amendment and the
section of the original constitution It
sought t o amend.

THE CHAUFFEUR'S STORY.
Ted Robinson In Cleveland Leader.
"I shudder yet," the driver said, "when
e'er I tell the tale
I'll think of It till I nm deadl Its mem
ory turns mo pale.
'Twas when I drove old Brown's Im4
ported high-power racing car I
And I was young nnd reckless courted!
nil the thrills thcro arc!
"Upon the day this occurred, I'd fifty
miles to go
E'er lunch nnd you can take my word, I
wasn't driving slow;
The road was .good, but narrow. A rail
fence on either side.
And the car sped like an arrow in a
swift una easy glUe.
"I took the curve at forty miles, then
at our highest speed
I shot along thoso forest aisles with Just
the road to heed
When suddenly there stepped Into our
track a little child
With golden hair and ryes ot blue Just
looked at us and smiled!
Not fifty feet nhead was she and I, too
scared to touch
Or think of tho emergency, or e'en throw
out tho clutch:
And even then It was too late no time
to turn aside
No space, no field, up open gate the road
was ten fect wide!
"All these I saw as In a dream the las sies
happy face.
One of those moment's that will seem to
hold a lifetime's space
'Twas Just one smile of Innocence ah,
would It be her last?
And then she climbed up on the fence
and watched me thunder past!

The Bee: Kindly permit me through your
columns to notify the Burvlvors of the old
Kightecnth United States regulars who
served under the late General Henry B.
Carrlngton, 1SC6 to 18S). that they are cut
out from participation In the proposed
pension bill by Hon. Mr. Rucker of Colo
rado (house roll 19,800) as amended by the
committee on pensions. As no regiment,,
up to the time of the Custer massacre,,
lost more men in killed and wounded or
suffered greater hardships than the
Eighteenth Infantry during the Red Cloud
campaign and In the garrisoning and In
keeping open the line of communication
between Forts C. F. Smith, Phil Kearney,
Reno, Fetterman and Laramie.- the omis
sion of the veterans of the Eighteenth
Infantry from tho benefits of the pension
bill la either a clerical error or the, result
of gross Ignorance on the port of con
gressmen ot the history of tha Indian
campaigns since the civil war. 7a the
massacre at Fort Phil Kearney a fori
gotten Incident? I would suggest that
veterans of the Eighteenth Infantry com
municate with their congressmen and
have this Justice rectified.
