The question has been raised as to
the expedicncy Of Governor Woodrow
Wilson's course in adopting the ore
gon idea OF government win it tend
to strengthen or weaken his presiden-
tial candidacy? lie has been mem
toned as satisfactory to the conserva-
tive, not to say reactionary. element
OF democracy How will this action
on his part suit that element? Some
Of these old-liners already have ex-
pressed disappointment at the gov
ernor's step The discussion serves to
deepen the interest centering about
him as the chief rival of Harmon for
the democratic nomination next year.
But Dr. Wilson has not begun his
political career with an apparent ef-
fort to cater to any class In particu-
lar; that is, any class Of politicians.
He has been almost defiant thus far in
ignoring safety valves and distress
signals and he is likely to continue in
that course AZ least one of the old
guard Colonel George Harvey. has
failed to find fault with him for 1t,
too. Colonel Harvey, always an anti
Bryan democrat, does not even waver
in his support Of DR. Wilson because
the doctor stood Tor the radical Bryan
apostle, James e. MARITIME, as against
James Smith, ir. an old-liner, for
senator from New Jersey. The col
onel thinks very little of Senstor-elect
MARITIME as a statesman, but he does
not allow that to dissuade him from
his devotion to Governor Wilson,
whom he halls as The knight err
rant of the new democracy" and says,
and as such will be nominated for
president in opposition to William II.
Taft"
Colonel Harvey even goes further
and declares that james Smith, whom
Governor Wilson beat badly, will not
harbor a grudge or seek TO subvert
the governors administration, imply
ing that he will not oppose him in the
presidential race. This all goes to
show that Governor Harmon must
reckon with Governor Wilson to the
last and that 1912 is to be an old
fashioned year, so far as the demo-
cratic national convention goes.

Di.trlbution Of immigrants.

AAANFAuuNhon OF immigrants
OMAHA, Feb. $50 the Editor Of The
Bee: Your editorial on Distributing I'm
migrants" In last Sundays Bee was timely.
Allow me to offer a few suggestions.
our federal government Is DOING a great
work through its immigration bureau. He
yond controlling admission OF immigrants,
It's policy has been to exercise no further
authority. 1t has always seemed to me
that at this point state authorities ought
to take up this work. The great steam
ship companies, through their highly de-
veloped agency system, exploit this carry
Ing trade to enormous gain and land mil
lions on our shores. Such as can fulfill
the requirements Of federal authorities are
admitted; thousands are deported. a great
number Of these people have no definite
destination. Information and assistance
are lacking, except such as comes to them
through all sorts Of wildcat colonization
schemes great number, naturally timid
and suspicious. hudde down In eastern
cities, increasing our already serious prob
lens OF over populated districts.
Among these immigrants one finds thou
sands OF sturdy and honest people looking
for the opportunity. Several Of our east
ern states have established the office Of
commissioner OF immigration. 1t is his
uuly 10 attract and induce the best class
OF immigrants to the opportunities Of his
state and locate them. What that means
to the state and these people Is easy to
see, The state gets the best class Of peo-
pie and the immigrants know that they
are dealing with absolute reliable sources
Great opportunities are still open in all
OF the western states. Our state has mil
lions OF acres Of still undeveloped lands.
II needs the population and revenues &C
cruing from honest toll Wealth In mill
lions undeveloped, waiting for willing hands
to yield great returns. l believe in gov
ernmental aid in this direction and a most
powerful agency for good.
Our present legislature in session ought
to pass measure creating the office of
commissioner of immigration Then let
the governor appoint an efficient, live man
mot politician), provide him with the
proper facilities to advertise the resources
OF this state and guide honest toilers this
way to develop them to the highest degree
possible. Under proper management this
would prove itself one OF the most inn
portant offices OF the state government,
Just as that department would be more
efficient in the federal branch. IL the two
co-operated as they should. Yours truly,
HENRY IL. GENAU.

Uses Of Committees.

When the Nebraska legislature was
being organized a great flourish was
made by the majority over the fact
that it YVES adopting a popular"
method of naming the standing COM
mittees of both houses. The senate
and house each named a committee
on committees, and these special
bodies worked zealously along to pro-
vide the suboTganizations that would
look after the detail work for the
benefit Of the whole, and popular gov
ernment was supposed to have thereby
gained a great triumph. A little later
on in the session the principle was for
gotten when it came to naming special
committees, and the presiding officers
of either branch of the general assem-
bly, were permitted to resume the
function, and now we get a still
further illustration of that plan. Com
mittee after committee has brought
in it's report on matters referred to 1t
and has been reversed on the floor by
the body at large, and only this week
did the house in committee of the
whole reverse the action of one of it's
subcommittee and recommend for
passage a bill that had been reported
adversely. On the very next day,
when the measure came up for pas
sage. the house turned upon itself and
reversed the action of the committee
of the whole.
Verify, the present session Of the
Nebraska legislature furnishes most
vivid and impressive illustration Of
the general uselessness Of committees,
or else it shows its own incompetence.
