The Dickens Centenary.

In an article In the current hide
pendent. the venerable General
James Grant Wilson recalls that
William NJ. Thackeray and Charles
Dickens. born seven months apart,
both made two visits TO the United
States ''for the purpose Of increas-
ing the provision they each desired
to bequeath to their families" The
chief purpose Of Dickens visit in
iS42 was to bring about an inter-
national copyright agreement be-
tween England and America. and
had he succeeded. instead Of failed
completely, he would have more
than doubled his income. so General
Wilson asserts.
These facts are of interest now
that February I. the Dickens CEN
tenary. is characterized in both Eng
land and America by the raising OF
large fund for the benefit OF his
five elderly granddaughters. whose
present joint income is the meager
sum of $500 a year. The American
people have always been ardent ad-
mirers Of Dickens and have far out
done his own fellow Englishmen in
buying his books. II is not I'M
natural. therefore. that they should
have responded literally to this ap-
peal in behalf OF his heirs to whom
he was able TO leave nothing. This
movement has been carried on by a
few OF our most eminent men Of
affairs and has been held high above
the common level OF beggarly char
ity. II is not that for a grateful peo-
pie thus to recognize an obligation
which, In the case of Dickens works,
has meant and will yet mean so
much to them.
Had certain Americans seventy
years ago seen what men now see
the eminent wisdom and justice of
an international copyright Law
their sons and daughters would not
now be called upon for this contribu-
ton, for the Dickens descendants
would have been left in comfortable
circumstances. no doubt. And yet
this appeal has none Of the harsh
ness Of collecting a pecuniary debt
In ii. II simply enables a people to
pay a tribute to the genius and
honor OF an author whose ,nspira-
ton has done for them in a literary
sense what no amount Of money
can properly estimate. Here, 100
years after the birth of Dickens, he

The Democrats and Their Record.

1t was conceded when the present
session of congress convened that the
democrats must go into the campaign
OF 1912 upon its record more than
upon the record Of the late extra
session. What have the democrats,
with their house majority and en-
Iarged representation in the senate.
done thus far on which they could
look for popular favor?
The course of 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 Of their own party, at that.
They have taken decisive stand on
nothing, displaying a lack Of wise
and able leadership disconcerting to
the hopes of party success. Old lead
ers no longer try TO conceal the fact
that being practically lost in the
stronger personality Of Floor Leader
Underwood, who, himself, falls short
Of expectations. Mr.. Underwood is
riding too many trick horses out into
the race. He spends too much time
jockeying for a start. He wins heat
now and then. but seldom finishes at
the head. Moreover. both Clark and
Underwood, as well as leaders in the
senate, have made the bad blunder,
in their anxiety to play good politics,
OF getting into what looks like an ir-
retrievable fuss with Mr.. Bryan,
who still stands as the party's boss.
It is all very we'll to rise and talk
harshly about Mr.. Bryan and say II
does not matter what he thinks and
says and does. but everyone expects
Mr.. Bryan to be. as usual, the big
gest figure in the democratic ma
tional convention at Baltimore and
he has already put his seal OF dis
approval on the record so far made
In congress.

The Third Term.

The action of the house in lodging
a vote on the resolution offered BY
the democratic member from Texas
decrying third term will have small
effect on public favor or disfayor Of
third term candidates for president.
II makes little difference whether
congress resolutes for or against a
third term, inasmuch as members Of
congress have no more voice In the
matter than ordinary private citizens.
So far as concerns the third term,
the historic facts are recorded and
indisputable that our first president.
George Washington, refused third
term. which he undoubtedly might
have had. and refused It In such q
way as to set a precedent, which has
so far had the force Of unwritten
law. The most pronounced demand
for q third term was directed at
General Grant when his followers
sought unsuceessfully to nominate
him again after he had been out OF
the White House for four years. and
admitted that aversion 10 a third
term defeated them. Since that time
we have had till now no possibility
Of a third term president, no presi-
dent having served out two full
terms excepting Grover Cleveland,
who was not considered for another
nomination at the conclusion OF his
second term. Until now the rule has
been taken to apply to a third term
Irrespective whether consecutive or
not. and the chief agitation has been
10 bar a second term by constitu-
tional limitation to single term Of
ak years.
Nothing In the law or constitution.
therefore stands In the way OF the
people electing the same president
three or four times, or Ave times. II
they really desire. Whether II is
wise to ignore precedent Is an alto
gether different question.

shown In the modification OF the defense
OF contributory negligence the Nebraska
act of 1907 simply copied the act Of con-
gress Of sd. and was more than half a
century behind Illinois. where. without
statutory enactment, the doctrine Of
comparative negligence was always main
tanned.
In one respect Nebraska's Lord Camp
bells act Of 1907 is q monstrosity. Under
that law, If a man should be killed in a
railroad wreck, and should leave q widow
but no child, and should leave a million
aire brother who sustained no pecun.ary
loss through the death the amount OF re-
eovery would be limited to the actual
pecuniary loss sustained by the widow.
