" . Considering Governor Aldrtch's Jboast that 90 per cent of the 180,000 republicans in Nebraska are progres jslve, it is remarkable that "the pro IgressiTes" could, not get 250 to at tend their convention. j A Scotch professor, who claims to have artificially produced life, says that our descendants will be born without the appendix. But, the sur geons of the future may be 'relied on to find something else to dig for, to what's ths use?- 'I The Lincoln Star calls attention to (the fact that the bull mooters by jthelr convention nominations have violated and nullified the Nebraska primary law.-' Oh pshaw! What's the "primary law to a party cornerstoned '. on the rule ot the people? Coming Nearer. It looks as if the Platte river canal project to furnish Omaha with cheap electrical energy for light and power were coming nearer, v The canal certainly now looks more like materialising than at any time in the dozen years that this great enterprise has been building on paper. , The engineering feasibility of a water power development within a comparatively few miles of Omaha has been thoroughly demonstrated, the. question resolving Jnto , one, of figuring out an assurance of financial success sufficient to tempt the in vestment of the necessary capital. What the power canal, constructed under proper conditions and safe guards, would mean as a stimulus to Omaha's industrial growth needs no argument because it is self-evident - The Maine Election. Another "test" vote is approach ing, the election in Maine coming on Monday. By a remarkable combina tion of circumstances, the democrats won the last state election thereand also captured the legislature, which gave them a United States senator from that state.' Based en the fact recited, the democrats are making confident claims that they are cer tain to repeat the victory. Yet they are sending in . the very best cam paigners they can muster .for the windup. On the other hand, the republicans are also aroused. The bull mooters have not set out any open hostilities there. The party is presenting a reasonably united front in the bat tle, notwithstanding the fact that the democrats are doing what' they, can tfi foment strife in the ranks of the republicans. : 1 VV . It the democrats should carry Maine, it would show them holding their own in that state. At the re publicans win, it must be taken as indicating that the landslide ot two years ago has spent its, force in the state that "went bell bent for Gov ernor Kent." la, this the vote a Maine may have more significance than that of Vermont. Loaded freight trains blocking traffic in all parts of, the. covptry and .railroad agents wildly seeking cars for customers, outweigh msny volumes of speeches by .politicians who would liks to have ths voters think a change is needed.' ' K : ''-v ' Proving; Too Much. Are not our democratic friends proving too much when they try to show that certain' farm products com- mand higher prices la Canada than they do' hers? If that were true all the time,' then our Canada neighbors would be justified, from their stand point, in rejecting reciprocity as giv ing them no advantage in the ex change, and our American farmers must have been needlessly alarmed by" fear of Canadan competition In farm products., , put ,the dem,ocrt6 not only, favored Canadian reciproc ity, and ' helped to .'put' It through, but their, platform program now promisee free trade in farm products, pot only with Canada, but with all other countries. It would be pretty bard, however, to persuade the farmer that because wheat prices in Canada are occasionally higher than they are here, he should forego all the advantages of protection on what he has to sell. 1 In the Matter of Spuds, Active efforts to instruct farmers ot the west in better ways to grow potatoes add , to ths general under taking of the scientists who have la bored tor years to teach ths farmers how best to use their lands.. .Pota toes do not differ from other crops raised, unless it bs that lees ot se rious attention has been - given to them. V ' (yV ; ' . Potatoes form a large and impor tant part of the dally food of man kind. It ths supply is falling short in America for any reason, the cause should be removed. If it la possible to make the crop more certain and more profitable to the farmer, he should listen attentively to the ex pert who will try to convince him of his chsnce. It has been proven that scientific methods of farming pay ad ditional profits to those who apply them. If two or three or mors pota toes can be made to grow wnere only one has hitherto been produced, ths result is obvious. If the Quality of the tuber is correspondingly ' In creased, so much the better.. 4 ; ;it is not at all creditable to our farmerf that this one crop should fall below requirements. Home grown potatoes ean be made ths best that come out of the ground, v BooklpBacfewafd n . no compuxd fuoM see rite i-J SEPT. X, lnOmalia 1; Thirty Year Ago At the congressional convention A. 3.

' If an ordinary man were to dellvor himself of such stuff, he would be placed under ob servation If not actual restraint. But the dog day period of the campaign is open searon for roorbacks and bugaboos, and Senator Bacon has the fired habit of seeing things, so it may come out all right in the end.

St Louis Is reveling In the melancholy story of a plot that failed. The pro moters of a gas franchise four year ago attempted to "put over" 1100,000 to mem ber of the municipal assembly a evi dence of "reciprocal good will," but the money failed to connect The mysterious feature of the plot Is how the dough hat eseapqd the municipal clutch. , George P.

IN OTHER LANDS THAN OURS Some Old World Events of Wide Significance. Activities of the Power. Old world event are moving with un common speed toward certain destina tion. Xotlc ha been served on China by Great Britain that continued exercise of suzerainty in Tibet will be considered inimical to British Interests and delay recognition of the Chinese republic, bo far none of the world powers have sa luted the republic. Even I'ncie Earn, who Is supposed to know a republic on sight steadily hold his place on the op posite side of the street unable to recog nize the empire In It new regalia. . Ap parently Great Britain Is ready to ex tend the glad hand to the Chinese con ditioned on the Chinese tickling the palm with a chunk of territorial loot' The addition of Tibet to the' Indian empire will extend the boundaries to the "roof of the world" and swell the store Of curiosities in the imperial museum. Otherwise the value of Tibet Is nil. Meanwhile the Russian bear has It paws on Mongolia, 'an attractive chunk of ter ritory over which the Marjchu rulers exercised nominal control, and In which the Chinese republlo hat been repudiated. On the east the Jape, working shoulder to shoulder with Russia, calmly awaits developments, confident that when Brit ain annexes Tibet, and Russia grabs Mon golia, there will be something doing in clinching the Japanese spike on Man churia. Germany and France have not yet indicated' desire to participate in the surgical operation, but they can hard ly forego the habit of butting Into deals of this class. If signs of recognition from the powers commands the price indicated, the Chinese republic will experience dif ferently In recognising Itself. Conditions la Germany. A statement emanating from the exec utive committee of the social democratic party of Berlin assert that In Germany "millions of men, women and children are being underfed and the health ot the nation 1 gravely endangered." Reference la had to the increasing coat of the necessaries of life; especially the product of the farm, the price of which have been on the Upgrade ever since the drift from agricultural to Industrial pur suits became a marked feature of the nation's development. No doubt, the dhange causes widespread hardship as similar condition do In the United States. But the impression conveyed by the social democratic deliverance Is sharply contradicted by th report of the British consul-general for Dueeeel dorf. embracing the Rhentah and West phaltaft province, for the last year. It shows that wages are atlll rising, ena bling working people to buy better food and better goods; that almost every In dustry improved last year; that the tariff is keeping Out the foreign goods and stimulating the home trade; that every where the only need 1 capital, and that the German government it fostering progress by ctnal schemes Involving enormous expenditure. ? "Wage halving . . rim throughout Germany," writes the consul-general, "the purchasing power of the masses Is Increasing end turnover are getting larger every year. Owing : to higher wage the public 1 . buying goods of better quality and Is giving the prefer ence to higher priced articles and . buy better qualities of food." And theae development have taken place In spite of the fact that .competition both In the borne and export markets" of Germany Is getting more severe from year to year. .- ' - Hotha, on Honorary General. One of the fundamental, assets of the British empire Is to be found In the consistent national policy of honoring and rewarding the best talent of the various races under the union jack. Necessarily the first essential is loyalty. . If loyalty I assurtd past record are wiped off the tlate. A notable instance of this policy is the announcement that Premier Louis Botha, of the South African union, baa been made an honorary general of the British army by King George. This is the same Louis Botha, who com manded the Boer armies in the victorious battle of Coleuso and 8pIon Kop, twelve year ago.. It la the same leader who eventually became commander-in-chief of the Boer forces; the same dogged Dutchman who fought on and on after Kruger had fled, after the Boer cause seemed to practically allut him abso lutely hopeles. For two year hi single tireless efforts kept the war smoldering after the flame had been extinguished by the stupendous armies of Roberts and Kitchener. In the tea year that have passed since peace was signed, Botha has become more and more firmly established In the councils of the British empire. He ha received two great wel comes m London, one in 1907 and one in 1911. General Botha is the one big men of South Africa; and It wa largely through hi Influence that the union of South Africa was accomplished. The two old British colonies of Natal and the cape were united with the two new Boer colonies. The Boers were a minority In the English colonies and the English were a mlnorty in the Boer colonies, but out of the union there came a comfortable Boer majority., that assured a central" Boer government for the Boer colonies and tor the British colonies a well. Th Tuklik Sttnatlon. 1 After nine month' search for an opening, the Idea that peace with Italy cannot be purchased by Inaction has mortised. aA entrance into the skulls ot Turkish ruler." Italy might go on in definitely fighting the shifting Arab of Tripoli, but Turkey could not as't the Arab by reinforcement, ammunition or other reeourcea of war. Italy, on the other hand, by it naval equadrons, practically closed the Dardanelles and paralyzed the trade of the Levant Tur. key has no recourse. .Standing on dig nity while trade languished and distress Increased proved too great a sacrifice. A change of minister, prayerful appeals to Allah, and Austria' uggetion of autonomy In northwestern provinces let In. a flood of light and brought about a realization of the urgency of peace. Hence th teal of the Turks in the nego tiations now proceeding in Switzerland. A point on which the Italian and Turk ish negotiator are entirely agreed is that they will do their utmost to avoid Intervention In the controversy between the two countries, which several timet hat been attempted. They argue that Intervention would cost both Italy and Turkey dearly, and the intervening powers would be animated by Bis marck's principle of the "honest broker." Ethtes Of Landi Grabbing. In the ethics of nation the legitimacy of land grabbing largely depends on the size of the grabber. What the big one may do 1 not permissible in the little ones. For example, Italy with Its un challenged navy it picking tip various stray Islands in the Aegean Sea without raising a whisper of protest from the on look'n rowers. But the moment the Cretan organized . a filibustering party for th purpose of raising th Greek- nag on the Island of Samos, the most an cient of Greek island, foreign consuls were on th watch with a sharp warn ing. The Cretans as well a the inhabi tant of Samoa are opposed to Turkish to which they belong by tie of, ract and history. But the powers, in adjust lng the equilibrium ot the eastern Medi terranean shore, placed the Cretans un der the Turks, a position they cannot change on their own Initiative without the permission ot the guardians. The Cretans tr high spirited and warlike. but not numerous enough to givt the self-appointed guardians ' a clout on the Jaw. . .V .... " " , POLITICAL SNAPSHOTS. THE ARCADIANS Bjr Bey. Thomas B. Crrefory. The banishment of tht Acadians began September 5, 175tand tht world It ttlll discussing th question as to whether or not the act wat the blackest ever com mitted under the British flag. , The order for the banishment was it sued in secret conolave, and messages were sent to the officer of land forces and ship at Annapolis , to begin at one to put It Into execution. , Tht edict was that every man, 'woman and child of th Acadian should be forcibly deported. Immediately th men ot th Acadian settlements were sum moned to th churches to hear the win of the king. Onoe inside, doors were locked,' window barred, soldiers placed on guard and the edict rad. " ! I From September to December tht de portation continued and before the win ter had fairly set In the Acadian peo ple were Mattered from New England te far-away Louisiana, In all torn 600 were sent away. ;. " ; Some of them found home In Quebec, the other wandered, homeless, about Boston. New York, Philadelphia and New Orleans. ... - . ' After the peace of 1763 tome MS gath ered tbmselvet together In Boston and began the long march overland through the tangled forest of Maine and NW Brunswick on th return to their beloved Acadia, the present Nova Scotia, Sing ing hymns, dragging their baggage on sleighs, pausing to hunt by th way, th sad and weary pilgrims toiled on through more than L000 mile of swamp and wilderness and at last found themselves back in their old haunts, v , , But It was a very tad experience that met them there. They were : like the "ghosts of the dead revisiting the scenes of their childhood." Their lands were occupied by newcomers. Of their flocks and herds naught remained but the bleaching boh heap where the eattle had huddled and died in "the wintry storms. New, strange faces filled the old homes. Strange children played beneath the windows of the cottages and the voloes of th boy under the apple tree shemted In an alien tongue. - The great majority of the Aoadiane, however, made no attempt , to return, and, accepting their fate a gracefully at wat possible abided In the places where their destiny had sent them. To day, all the way from Maine to Louis iana, dwell the descendants ot the peo ple, who were banished from Acadia in 1755, and some of them, especially in Louisiana, occupy ; high positions in social nd clvio life. At regards England's guilt In, the mat te? ot the banishment of the Acadians, something worth while is to be said on both aide. There may have been guilt In the transaction, but it was not all on the side of England That much is certain. It may be that England did Wrong In deporting the Acadians, but what was England to dot The Acadlant, allent In race, politic and religion, abso lutely refused to take the oath of alle giance to tht British government, refused to become a part of the British people or to become eubject to their lawa, and thua did they Invito th fat which over took them. .
