North Platte and South Platte.
From the admission of Nebraska as
a state into the union a tradition has
maintained, almost in the nature' of
unwritten law, making the Tlatte river
the dividing line for the apportion
ment of the two United States sena
tors. With the exception of a brief
period when the domination of the
populists gave us a populist to repre
sent Nebraska in the senate in the per
son of William V. Allen and thus put
both senators in the North Tlatte, thiB
rule has been unbroken.
The senatorshlp which is to bo
filled at the coming election is the
fouth Platte senatorshlp, and if the
traditional custom is followed it will
be filled by a candidate residing south
of the Platte. The potency of this
rule and the claim of the South Platte
country have been recognized in the
filings for the republican nomination.'
Barring for the moment our old
friend, "Would-be Senator" Al Soren
son, all the active competitors for the
republican nomination reside in the
South Platte country. On the demo-
cratlc
South
defied
side, however, the North and
Platte line is disregarded and
by the ambition of the editor-
congressman from this district to be
promoted to the upper branch of the
national legislature, and should he
succeed in reaching the goal we would
have a new alignment, at least for the
time being, of eaBt and west instead of
north and south.
With such a change in the political
geography of Nebraska it goes without
saying that the senatorial place to be
filled two years hence would produce
a competition of candidates in the
western part of the state for both re-1
publican and democratic nominations.'
The Fifth district would have aa good
a right as the Sixth district to seek
what is now conceded to be a North
Platte senatorshlp, and the First dis
trict as good a right as the Second,
and the fact that Governor Shallen
berger lives in the Fifth district and
does not disguise bis senatorial aspira
tions Is what is counted on to help
wipe out the North and South Platte
line In the present election.
All this Is In the realm of specula
tive politics, to be Sure, but It does no
harm to look ahead and try to get the
bearings of passing events upon what
may reasonably be expected in the
future.
Intensified Tanning.
Homes for 8,000 people and tim
othy in the field at $20 a ton is the
report that comes from a little com
munlty called Statbuck on the Palouse
river in, Washington, as the result of
reclamation. It shows the poBslbill
ties of the new system of farming, and
yet $20 timothy in the field may or
may not be a healthful sign. For the
man who sells It is, for him "who buys
it Is not. But the point of the story
la that western soil, In Nebraska as
well as in Washington, in the Dakotas,
Idaho, Oregon and Wyoming any
where . that reclamation , and intensi
fied farming are employed will bring:
results like these.
One thing our farmers will have to
guard against in this new generation
of Irrigation and reclamation pro
cesses and that is depending too much
on them and falling to employ the
additional means of scientific selection
of seed, planting and tilling the soli
Without the latter they will not get
the maximum amount of good out of
the Improvements the government is
helping them to obtain. It will do
to impress this fact The two na
tlonal corn shows in Omaha demon
strated in various instances the inher
ent possibilities of the soil in the semi
arid districts where irrigation is nec
essary and then they showed what thatj
same soil, irrigated, could do when'
touched by the magic power of inten
sified farming. Irrigation and recla
mation alone does not constitute In
tensified farming. That 1b a system
of which these are only parts.

first leaf in its lesson of modern farm-J
ing and it has only begnn to reap the
rich rewards from Jt. - When we reach

will yield larger crops, .they will be
better and the country will be more
thickly populated.
Wu Ting-Fans' Cornea Back.
Dr. Wu Ting-Fang has proved on
former occasions that he is one man
who can perform the supposedly im
possible feat of "coming back," so that
Americans will not be altogether sur
prUed at his restoration to official life
in China. It may even persuade some
of our people to believe yet in his de
termination to round out 100 years
of activity.
His appointment to the position of
counselor to the foreign office at Pek
ing seems to have been the most
fortunate that the empire could make,!
both for China and other powers, par
ticularly, we may hope, this country.
His experience will make htm especi
ally valuable In international affairs,
and Americans may feel that they,
above all other people, will get a
square deal if Wu can give It to them.
During his two terms as Chinese min
ister to the United States he was ex
tremely popular; he loved our people
and our ways and manifested the
keenest interest in every department
of our national life.
China shows great good sense in not
allowing its impatience with Wu, whom
it twice recalled from Washington, to
override its estimate of bis worth to
the empire. It was felt that when he
was relieved the last time at Wash
ington he would be relegated to polit
ical oblivion, and China will undoubt
edly gala by agreeably disappointing
this feeling. This and the plan of
sending a delegation of Imperial rep-J
resentatlves to the United States the
latter-part of this month may well be
taken as reassuring of a better spirit
for this country la China than some
recent events have indicated, the pro
posed boycott of American goods, for
instance. Ostensibly these imperial
ists are coming to inspect our naval
equipment, but since It Is fairly well, other nomination Lieutenant Gov
understood that China contemplates ernor Hopewell. Auditor of Public Ac-
no expansion in that direction any !
time soon, we may well decide that the!
visit is rather for an Improvement of I
diplomatic relations. Contemporan-!
eously with the coming of the royal
family members, sixty students will
sail for America to receive education
from the indemnity funds returned to
China by the United States. All these
signs do not point very convincingly
toward a state of unfriendliness be
tween these two countries.
Two Colonels'.
Colonel Harvey, as the publisher of
the Harper periodicals, was the chal
lenger in this contest with Colonel
Roosevelt, so that he ought to be will
ing to take what popular Judgment is
meted out to him. Ho charged Colonel
Roosevelt with Baying that if an elec
tion were held this fall nothing Roose
velt could do would prevent his nomi
nation for the presidency and that he
would dominate the situation as the
"sole son of destiny." Colonel Roose
velt's answer is a flat denial of the
whole assertion, which the public will
take as final.
It is not necessary to figure out
where this leaves Colonel Harvey to
arrive at the conclusion that he was
essaying a very difficult role. He,
above many other eminent publicists,
Is not In a position to persuade the
people that he has ' come anywhere
near correctly quoting the . former
president
Certainly It wonld appear that
Colonel Harvey had hit upon a very
poor way of depopulating Colonel
Roosevelt Whatever effect his arti
cle has will surely be in favor rather
than against the popularity of the man
It attempts to deprecate for the very
reason that Its purpose is too obvious
to be concealed. The wonder is that
a man of Harvey's sense and sagacity
could have been deluded Into writing
such a diatribe. Naturally full of
logic and convincing power as a writer,
he is irrationally inconsistent and con
tradictory In referring to Roosevelt
first as "a mighty asset to the repub
lican party, or to any party," and then
"a liability to any party," an "asset to
the people," a "man of excellent serv-
ices mat snouaa not ne forgotten, a
"champion of moral revolt," and
finally "a personification of mischiev
ous madness" and "an essentially re
vivifying Torce." AH of which would
leave the . most astute Philadelphia
lawyer to wonder what Editor Harvey
really thought of Colonel Roosevelt if
he did not already know.
Spain and Weyler.
One brief ultimatum from Captain
uenerai vveyier seems to nave com
pletely repressed the threatened revolt
at Barcelona on the anniversary of
Prof. Ferrer's death, which was the
culmination of the last Insurrection by
the Catalans. The old warrior whoBe
reconcentrado system In Cuba pro
voked American Interference in the in
terest of humanity and deprived Spain
of the island seems to have lost none
or his relentless barbarity, as this
declaration to the Catalans indicates
The moment a revolutionary outbreak In
Barcelona compels rue as a captain general
to aasume the supreme command, I want
the revolutionists to know they must pre
pare for a merciless fight. There will be
neither prisoners nor wounded. The walls
of the hospitals will become useless and the
cemeteries will have to be enlarged.
Spain may think It has finally real
Ized on the Weyler investment, which
cost so heavily in Cuba, but even at
the risk of a revolt in the northern
province, when. It Is at issue with the
Vatican, can not Justify such Inhu
mane threats in the Judgment of civil
ized nations, and it is quite probable
that this savage outbreak of old Wey
ler may prove worse for Spain's good
name than any uprising Barcelona
could have created. The Catalans, to
be sure, were foolish to threaten a re
volt when the government Itself was
pursuing a course calculated to effect
even greater reforms than they could
possibly bring about, but that does not
warrant Spain, radical a power as it is
in making use of such threatened bar
barity. It is doubtful if Spain could
Justify any use it chose to make of
Weyler, anyway.
The Commoner announces that Mr
Bryan will stay with the democratic
ticket notwithstanding what was done
to blm at Grand Island. As before
remarked, anyone who could denounce
Parker aa Mr. Bryan did in 1904 and
then stand for the dose mixed at St
Louis may be depended on to swallow
anything that comes out of a bottle
bearing the democratic label.
The law plays itself a mean trick
when a man accused of a high crime
can stand to escape punishment by
marrying the chief witness against
him Just because wives cannot be
forced to testify in criminal cases
against their husbands.
Editor Bryan insists that Associate
Editor Metcalfe would make the
stronger candidate for United States
senator on the democratic ticket. Still.
some people think Editor Bryan is
prejudiced.

NEJCT LAUD DISTRIBUTION.
Several Caolce Sections to Be Opened
' Cp Next Year.
- Baltimore American.
According to the reports of the general
land office, given out on the 1st of July,
1909. there wer at that time public lands
In possession of the government, vacant
and subject to entry and settlement, ag
gregating 731.S5i.081 acres, of which 212,727,783
acres had been aurveyed and 611,626,2)8
were yet unsurveyed. On the face this
statement would seem to indicate that a
vast landed area Is yet to be distributed,
Aa a matter of fact, however, the larger
proportion of these lands are of very low
value and there Is no demand for them.
There will be opened to distribution
among actual settlers next year, however
certain areas in Montana, Washington,
North .Dakota and South Dakota that will
possess real agricultural value, and It is
likely that there wilt be another grand rush
westward of those seeking free homesteads.
In several of these reservations the Indians
will obtain th first apportionment and,
being allowed to chooa, will . naturally
select th beat lands. But finally there
will b available for white settlers some
thing over 8,000,000 acres of lands, which
will divide np into 47,609 elghty-acr home
stead tracts, and will sustain considerably
over 150,000 population.
, Th government's policy toward the In
dians, during th past quarter of a century
at least, has beoa not only in th direction
of helpfulness, but of preferential treat
ment. Many of th Indians of th north-
west are good farmers, and they know how
to pick th beat when It cornea their turn
to chooa. The chairman of one of th ap
praising commissions for land that will be
distributed next year declared In a recent
report concerning the Taklma reservation:
"Aftor th allotments shall hav been
nut 10 to inaians mere win not be a
quarter section in the reservation open to
settlement upon which a person can make
a living." But In some of th reservations
the Indians will not be able to absorb all
of th good landa. There Is likely to be
some rapid scrambling when these reserve
tions are thrown open, and following th
land handout there will soon be a scatter
ing of now tewns on the map.

The adjournment of the Uritlsh parlia
ment until the middle of November af
fords the kingdom a welcome real from
practical politics. The aetslon Just closed
has been notable fur the comparative har
mony of all parties and the absence of par
tlalan strife. King Kdward'a death stilled
political wrangling. A common desire to
rr-ndar the ornln(t of King George's reign
free from party strlf disarmed the political
liattadlons. and brought about th confer
ence of prtr chiefs whk-h Is now quite
opefully seeking common around in which
may be Interred tho conflict between the
House (if Commons and tho House of
Lords. Premier Asijulth's recent state
ment regarding th progress of th negotia
tions greatly strengthens current reports
of a harmonious conclusion. No lnkllne
as been given of th trend of the discus
sion aa Indicative of the basis of agree
ment, but that some starting point has
been reached Is evident from the prime
minister's statement supplemented by the
fact that twelve sessions hav been held
without a sign of rupture. Indication point
a a development of the federal plan which
Honorable Joseph Chamberlain sought to
cvelop during th Victorian Jubilee year.
This- would mean legislative management
of local affairs by electlvo bodies In Eng
land, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, leaving
the Parliament at Westminster to deal with
th larger affairs of the British empire.
This Is conceded to be the most practical
plan of relieving Parliament ot petty local
f fairs, so that its energies may be con-
con t rated wholly on greater national con
cerns. Be Ides the conference which prom
ises much for British progress, th session
marked a distinct advance In religious tol
eration by enacting Into a law a modified
oath for the king a clear, simple declara
tion, by which existing rights are safe
guarded without offending followers of
opposing creeds. The fact that all politi
cal divisions In both houses of Parliament
supported the change with practical unani
mity Is a heartening sign of tolerance and
good will.
Church and state are approaching a crit
ical stag In Spam. The determination of
Premier Canaleja to press to a conclusion
the ministerial program of reform so far
as It relates to the church is evidenced
by the withdrawal of the Spanish minister
at the Vatican. The papal nuncio at Ma
drid Is also on waiting orders, so that a
few days,-If not hours, may witness com
plete severance of diplomatic relations be
tween temporal and spiritual powers
hitherto the closest of allies. It Is a sur
prising stat of affairs that is rapidly ap
proaching a crisis In "the most Catholic
country In the world." The shadow'of the
tragic death of Ferrer, whether rightly or
wrongly condemned, may be traced In the
critical situation. His spirit, like that of
John Brown, "Is marching on." It has
driven the ministry responsible for It from
power, and was th Impelling fores In the
election of a liberal Cortes and the Canale
las ministry. . The inability of Cardinal
Merry del Val, papal secretary of state,
himself a Spaniard, to appreciate the trend
of affairs in his fatherland, promises to
all one more to the many diplomatic blun
ders with which he Is popularly credited.
The crisis forces upon Catholics In Spain
the disagreeable alternative of choosing
between loyalty to the state or loyalty to
the church, A similar situation was pre-
eilptated In Franoe, with consequences to
the church that even cardinal Merry oei
Val can now hardly contemplate with sat
isfaction. Another diplomatic disaster in
Spain win sorely strain th patience of his
Italian associates, who hav rrom tne start
'viewed with alarm" the presence ot an
alien lii an eminent position usually mon
opolised by Romans.
Referring to Constantinople, Mark Twain
once said: "You may not see tne suitan,
but you can't miss the dogs." Th dog has,
all visitors to that city know, Been one
of Constantinople's negative features, and
since th advent of the young Turk party
war has been waged against It. Writing
about the means employed to rid th city
ot the howling brutes, a correspondent ot
th Manchester Neuesten Nachrlchtn
says that people who have th least bit of
feeling tor dumb animals would rather see
the streets Infested as they have been
than countenance the brutalities which are
employed in the reform. Th dogs ar
gathered In by hired men, thrown into a
cage near the old city wall, where they
are subjected to much and long suffering
before the end comes to them." The poor
dogs ar subject of a poem by Paul
Hayser, which Is going the rounds of the
Gorman press.

EDUCATION OF DOCTORS.
Two State at Loara-erhead Over the
Standard. ..
Philadelphia Press.
A constantly increasing demand for a
higher standard of education In th pro
fessions will Inevitably produce conflicts
like that which has Just srlBen between
New York and New Jersey. A reciprocal
arrangement between th two states went
Into effect on January 1, 1907, whereby th
medical doctors licensed In one state Would
be authorised without examination to prac
tice In the other. The reciprocity arose
from the mutual satisfaction of the au
thorities of New York and New Jersey
regarding the educational requirements . ot
the medical profession In either tate. '
Since then a change has been Intro
duced through an official Interpretation of
th New Jersey statutes whereby the New
York board of regents believe the educa
tional requirements of medical students
In . th sister . state ar lowered. Conse
quently the board of regents will no longer
reoognlse New Jersey licenses. In- turn.
holders of licenses from the -state of New
York will not be permitted to prSctlos, at
a matter of course, in New Jersey.
The statutes of New York state require
that a student shall have completed three
years of high' school work before begin
ning his medical studies. .Pour years of
high school work are neoesaary, . but th
fourth year may be taken simultaneously
with the medical course. ' Last fall the
attorney general of New Jersey rendered an
opinion that under the statutes, of. that
state a student need not have don any
high school work before beginning his
medical studies; but that he might pursue
the high school courses snd . medical
courses at the ssme time.
This Interpretation .is held contrary to
th degree of education required- by the
statutes of New York stat. Henoe the
rupture of the arrangement which . has
worked satisfactorily for thre years and
a half. It is not lmposslbl that this Inci
dent may result In benefit for the whole
medical profession by emphasising the ne
cessity for uniformity In the educational
qualifications ot doctors throughout, th
land.,
Medicine and surgery are pre-eminently
progressive professions. They have been
revolutionized In a generation. More than
mere 'common sense," that very uncommon
quality of mankind Is required in order
that the modern physloian or surgeon may
keep pace with Ills profession. A greater
amount of responsibility attaches to those
who practice the healing art than belong
to any other class of men. Efficiency most
be maintained among them to a high pitch.
One noted important Influence to that end
wonld be uniformity of statutes oa medical
education In all the states of the union.
