Lincoln. Dec. 23.-To the Editor oil
The Bee: Let me thank you for your
recent editorial reference to my rec
ommendation that the commissioners
of public lands and buildings depart
ment be consolidated with this de-
partment The proposition is being
opposed by some, but / believe II
would nevertheless be a decided bene-
fit to the people of the state If adopted
The salary pay roll of that depart
ment Is s10,340 per annum, and the
consolidation would reduce 1t at least
$3.50 per annum.
The land commissioner now has
practically no duties other than those
that are bestowed upon him by virtue
of his membership on boards. the de-
partment being different In this re-
spect than any other. 1t is the board
Of educational lands and funds, and
not the land commissioner, that has
charge OF Nebraska's educational lands
and funds, and his work in connection
with this board is delegated to him
by the other members, and could be
performed by any one of them. The
records and field notes pertaining to
the public lands are filed in his Office,
but this is more a clerical than execu-
tive transaction.
1t has been my observation that new
offices are created more easily than
are old ones abolished, nevertheless i
have offered the suggestion and the
legislature can do with it as 1t deems
best VIM. H. SMITH.

Republicans in the Next House.

An already foreshadowed contest within the
republican fold over the organization OF the nex
House of Representatives is given emphasis and
dehniteness by the announcement of Congress.
nan Gardner OF Massachusetts that he will op
'ose the selection Of the present republican house
leader, Mr.. Mann of Illinois, for the speakership
The reasons given by Mr.. Gardiner, being based
on Mr.. Manns attitude toward the presidents for
eign policy, will not appeal to all who may like
wise oppose his elevation to be speaker assuming
that the democrats will be in minority when the
time comes to decide that question) but it is GER
tain the utra-progressives will object to Mr..
Mann's leadership for other reasons. The sin
certify of the progressives, however, must con-
strain them to equally strong, if not stronger OPP
position to Champ Clark, so the real task is likely
to become one of adjusting the internal differ
ences of the various republican elements to
bring about union and solidarity behind the lead
ershp of some one who can command their conf
denee and combined support.
That may prove difficult but it ought not to
be impossible if gone at in the right spirit. 1t
may take jplt or two like that from Congress
man Gardiner to wake the republicans in the house
up fully to the situation and If so arousing them
starts the getting together it will be in the long
run good thing for all concerned

though; no matter how well organized or disci-

does not relieve the citizen of his ever-present

Taking Schools Out Of Politics.

Retiring from Office, State Superintendent
Thomas sends out well-worded argument in
support Of proposition popularity classified as
the non-partsan school movement. Its ostensble
object is to raise the standard OF Nebraska
schools through placing the county superintend-
cnts under the "nonpartisan" designation, and,
to quote Mr. Thomas, make the office profess
sional rather than political" The Bee. as the
most consistent advocate of the public schools in
Nebraska, is quite heartily in sympathy with any
reasonable movement that will increase efficiency
or improve the quality of our schools in any way.
1t is not clear, though that the plan Of the retir-
ing superintendent is the one that will bring the
result sought. Nonpartisanship as practced in
the judiciary and in other ways, has not so far
had the effect Of eliminating entirely the influence
of party politics from control OF the places thus
sought to be made immune. but has to large
extent thrown control to newer and less desirable
organizations not amenable to the discipline OF
political parties, and whose influence is in some
ways more to be deplored than the partisanshp
from which escape is sought What would be
more to the purpose would be to take politics
out OF the schools and make state and county
superintendent appointve. subject to strict quail
ifcation requirements, as are now our city super
intendents and normal school and university
educatorsr Employment in the great and import
ant work Of training the children of the state
should be professional and not political, but dan
ger does not threaten the schools so much from
without as from within.

Why Not Relief for the Litigants ?

Plattsmouth, Dec. 24.-To the Ed
tor of The Bee: In a recent issue of
The Bee appeared an article entitled
Local Bar Wants Higher Mark Set
for Admission to Practice" and will
request legislature to demand more
stringent requirements, etc, etc.
There seems to have been no con-
Germ on the part of most of those pres
ent at that memorable meet to better
care for the interests and welfare of
the litigating public. no desire to per-
form greater service commensurate
with the fees taken from their Glen
tele, not at all! But the one absorb
ing nightmare which appears to cloud
their mental horizon is the dreadful
fact that already there are too many
lawyers. And which fact has the effect
of splitting up the business and cut
ting down fees, and, therefore, II the
noise from the much-desired Lawyers
Trust can be made sufficiently formid-
able to cause the solons of the coming
legislature to throw an extra fit in
their favor it will be the means of very
materially curbing the competition
amongst the lawyers.
No such legislation is proposed in
behalf of farmers or business men or
workingmen generally, but they must
be left to compete one with another
and the devil take the hindmost. The
law is or should be nothing more nor
less than common sense a set of rules
If you please for the protection of
right against might and injustice, and
should be made with view so simple
and easy to understand that the ordi-
nary individual with an average edu-
cation can study it and comprehend
it with no necessity for a college
course prior to admission to practice
in the courts of the land.
The most successful and able law
yers of the past and present are those
who never have had the excellent ad-
vantage of a college education and liv-
ing examples of such exist in the city
of Omaha today, having been retained
because of their ability and fidelity
by the largest corporations of the
country.
And finally, in my judgment, the
legislators should require not more
stringent educational, qualifications in
the way of more high school and COL
lege, but reduce the already too much
red tape at present required. And if
they fail to do this and cater to the
designs of attorneys seeking to abol-
ish competition in their line it cannot
be other than reflection upon their
intelligence. A BEE READER.
