The official proclamation of the
governor of the state of Nebraska is
at hand designating November 5,
1912, a selection day, and enumera
ting the officers and measures to be
voted on. ' .
The enumeration includes all the
elective state officers, the expression
of preference for United States sen
ator, the six members of congress,
the members of the legislature for
senatorial and representative dis
tricts, the five constitutional amend
ments, but not an inkling that a
presidential elector Is to be voted on.
" Of, course, this Is just a little over
sight on the part of our governor,
who. is oblivious of the fact that a
president is to be chosen along with
state and legislative officers. We
suggest that he put the recall on the
proclamation, and patch It up.
Now is Turkey's Time, '
, It ,1s questionable If - the .Balkan
states would be quite so ready to 'de
clare war against Turkey If Turkey
were not already at war with; Italy.;
It seems, therefore, as If the present
were a good time for Turkey to end
Its troubles with Italy and get on
peaceful terms there. If it lets this
opportunity slip it may not get an
other soon. With internal strife
added to war with Italy, i Turkey 3s
under an incubus far too great to
warrant much hope of success in
combating its combined foes,, even
though separately they may not com
mand formidable strength. The fu
tility thus far ; of Turkish arms
against Italian, not only may have
Invited this apparent concert of at
tack from the Balkans, but admit
tedly .it has. created serious discon-1
tent within' the Turkish empire. All
things ; taken together, therefore,
seem to make the present a Very pro
pitious moment tor the sultan to seek
an olive branch from Italy.

The council's measure forbidding
single seated motorcycles carrying
doubts is regulation In the direction
of safety. The usual rate of speed
maintained by a motocycle calls for
every reasonable precaution' and this
one s particularly needed. But un
less It ,1s mors generally observed
than some other rules and ordinances
regulating motors and autos It will
not do very much good; A '
The city has a rule against auto
lets driving past street intersections
while passengers are getting on or
off a street car, or where a car Is ap
proaching a crowded corner, and this
rule is regularly ignored. Some ac
cidents have happened as a result,
yet tnany autolsts and motorcyclists
continue to disregard the rule and
the rights of pedestrians. In all the
list of .regulations affecting motors
and-autos none is more Important
than this on and it should be faith
fully observed and enforced.
Fruits of Intensive Farming.
Secretary Wilson . Is undoubtedly
safe in saying that systematic promo
tion of Intensive agriculture has been
a big factor In the enlarged farm out
put of this country. 'The un
precedented grain crops this year, of
course, are largely the result of a, fa
vorable season and yet better methods
of farming have had their effect. All
along the line -of soil products .the
same increase in acreage yield is ap
parent and that means that scientific
selection of (Seed and soil replenish
mnt are bearing fruit.
- Intensive agriculture has not had
a fair trial as yet, though, chiefly be
cause of,, lack of co-operation; farm
era have not embraced it as kindly as
they might and will. In places ';the
proffered assistance has only aroused
resentment because of its obtrusive
manner. All this, of course, Is but
incidental and will quickly be over
come. The time Is not far off when
every farmer will- be a -scientific
farmer In endeavoring to make the
soil pay him its maximum return for
his labor and investment. Then, with
favorable seasons,, such as we have
had this year, the output -would be
vastly greater, vcven vwjttt .jthe same
acreage, ah o,f course, the acreage
will go Ou Increasing for some time
yet.

IN OTHER LANDS THAN 0UES
Some Old World Happenings of General Interest.
The Balkan CoBflaaratlosi.
Tbe Balkan states are moving on tho
Turks with energy and seal stimulated
by countless wrongs crying out for blood.
Bulgars, Serbs,, Montenegrins and Greeks
have been so thoroughly keyed up to the
fighting point that pledges of reform
guaranteed by the powers were foreseen
and Ignored and hostilities precipitated,
doubtless with the confident belief of pro
curing with the sword more enduring re
sults. The haste shown In forcing tho
war before the ' powers' Intervened with
pledges indicates a high degree ot confi
dence on the part of the attacking forces,
strengthened by the belief ' that tho
Tnrktoh government rent' by political
strife and handicapped by tho Tripoli tan
war, is not In condition to resist the on
set of the Balkan armies. Confidence is
a prime' essential In any contest, espe
cially so if based on adequate strength
as well as accurate knowledge of the ad
versary's resources. Turkey evidently
foresaw what was coming and prepared
for it Apparently the Balkan situation
hastened the acceptance of the Italian
peace conditions, noted last week and the
fear of invasion from the north has been
the means of unifying the factions at
Constantinople. The Turkey of yesterday,
crippled abroad and divided at home, to
day Is relieved of the Trlpolitan handi
cap and aggressively united for the na
tional defense. The loss of Tripoli and
the threatened loss of northern provinces
foreshadows a struggle against dismem
bering the empire as fierce as that wfalch
marked the Russian trail of 1878 with a
succession of Slav cemeteries. For the J
allied states the war so hurriedly entered
upon .will not be a holiday excursion in
Turkish territory.
Poverty tn Japan.
A remarkable article on the misery of
the poorer classes in Japan appears in
the semi-official Japan Times. "Tbe cost
of living keeps going up," says the Times;
"no one seems to bo able to reach out his
hands to bring tho steadily ascending
balloon to the ground; people helplessly
watch its. course and gasp. At the same
time poverty walks about at large and
miseries of life increase. Above all, the
beads of families of the laboring class
seem to have the worst allotment of
miseries and torturea Many of them are
daily deserting their wives and families.
The laboring men cannot support their
families with the scanty wages tUey st
Tho little storekeepers find it Impossible
to balance &e!r ledgers with the credit
ahead of tho debit and are universally
discouraged by dull business. At home
their wives need money and their chil
dren are simply crying aloud from star
vation.' The hard-pressed and miserable
husbands go out In the morning to search
for work and many of them never return
again at night Dally the charity lodg
ing houses are crowded by women and
Children begging a night's lodging, to
drift away the next morning, to return
again at night starving. Many of them
are sick, husbandless and fatherless,
penniless and homeless. Some of them
follow the paths of their husbands to
death."
Woman "nffraa-e la Germany.
A notable instance of the growth of the
suffrage movement In Germany is the
support given the muss by tho Frank
furter Zeitung, tho most influential news
paper In South. Germany. "Complete
equality and full development of the In
dividual are the foundation principles of
very democratic community," says the
Zeitung, and it adds: "It Is of no stg-
niflcane that this point of view has
never heretofore been applied to women.
There com times when such problems
acquire, a different aspect and demand
a now application of old principles.
The ; male cltlsen,' too, was
pushed pack, with' a thousand reasons
for refusing him, when hs demanded
quality." "In the horn of the hausfraa,"
comments the New York Post "where
the emperor has proclaimed that women
shall forever concern herself only with
kinder, kucho and klrche, this strikes us
as both lese majeste.and high treason."
Progress In CMna. ' ' " ' '
Dr. Morrison, the noted political advlaer
ot China, In an interview Just before
departing from London for bis now post
gave strong assurances of the stability ot
the republic. Among the proofs of sta
bility he pointed -to a 'record year in
trade, the safety of and 'friendliness
shown toward ' foreigners, the disband
ment of troops, the unity of government
leaders and tho general absence of dis
turbances. Speaking of reforms already
accomplished. Dr. Morrison said: "Tele
grams have been cheapened and brought
within the reach tot the masses at a uni
form rate throughout the country. The
cost or the carnage, ot newspapers has
been greatly reduced,' a more Important
thing than you may think. News dis
patches now go daily to the remotest
corners of the land, an ' extraordinary
change for China. Tha walls of many
cities are being pulled down. Those of
Shanghai have gone .already, those of
Canton are going. That is a change slg
nlfleant of much. In each province tbe
officials are now natives of that prov
ince, a thing formerly prohibited. It
is held that men are bound to be Inter
ested In tho development of their own
province. Then the old vicious ssytera of
dual contro) by Manehus and Chinese
has been swept away."'
Aastrallan Development.
Railroad development in Australia,
hitherto confined to the ; northern and
eastern sections, Is about to Invade and
upon up the trackless wilderness of tho
neglected western section. Recently the
governor general turned the first sod in
the construction of a transcontinental
line, which will connect Port Augusta
and Kalgoorlle. The road will be LOW
miles long, and the estimated cost $28,000,
000. Work is proceeding, at both ends.
Like that which first spanned the United
States the road may mean the introduc
tion of mighty developing forces, a bond
of steel to hold In stronger solidarity all
parts of the country and open up sec
tions of it that at one time seemed des
tined to become an eternal fallow. There
are said to be great barren reaches, of
kindred character to what was once our
"Great American deeert," that are
equally amenable to the influences of irri
gation and these tho new steel highway
will penetrate. Perhaps Australia Is Just
entering upon Its inheritance.
BAD' MAN OF; THE BALKANS
Captor of Miss Ellen M. Stone on the Firing line.
American interest In the war between
tho Balkan states and Turkey draws
some sest from the news that Tanne
Sandansky, bandit freebooter and killer,
is diligently looting such sections of the
Bulgarian-Turkish border as possess con
vertible goods unprotected by either
army. Sandansky achieved American
notoriety elevon years ago by capturing
and holding for mnsom Miss Ellen M.
Stone an American missionary traveling
in that region. He got the money, too.
The bad man of the Balkans, as San
dansky Is known, is a burglar and an
outlaw whoso raids and killings are car
ried on for the benefit of his own pocket
The Bulgarian-Macedonian oommltteb
in Sofia sentenced SandanBky to death
In May, 1809, and sent four trusted mem
bers into the forests to kill htm. The
cables preserved an ominous silence as
to what happened to these tour. At any
rate, in August of that year Sandansky
was very much alive. He swaggered
into Salonlca one night and very much
after the manner, of a New Tork gang
fighter started to wipe out some old
core. Ho had mad a fair start who
ho was shot and was carried off by bis
friends. He was reported to be dying.
At that time be was professing ardent
friendship for the Young Turks, it is
very probable that in this last outbreak
he is being backed by some disgruntled
members of that ousted party.
: Before the capture of Miss Stone. San
dansky bad acquired tha name of the
bad man of the Balkans. He was said
to hsv slain tome S0 persons by his
own hand and to have ordered the deaths
of more than 1,000,
In the tall of 1901 he came upon Miss
Stone, a member ot a party of eighteen
missionaries and attendants, while they
were traveling in tbe mountains between
Bansho and Dijumao In tbe country be
tween Turkey and Bulgaria. There were
about forty ' brigands with Sandansky
and they 'were fully armed. They de
tained only Miss Stone and Mme. Tsllka,
the wife of a Bulgarian minister. San
dansky allowed Miss Stone to get a let
ter through to Consul Dickinson at Con
stantinople telling ot her plight and the
brigand kept rumor busy wtth report
of the cruelties he was inflicting on his
captives, hoping thereby to get the ran
som he demanded. Tbe brigands ' de
manded a ransom of 1110,000. The birth
of a child to Mme. Tsllka changed th
attitude of the captors toward tha women
and they treated them with some show
of consideration.-
On February ' S3 Mr. Lslshmao. the
United 8tates minister at Constantinople,
after trying in vain to effect tho release
of the captives by diplomatic method.
paid over to Sandansky $65,000 ransom
which had been raised. Ho used .busi
ness methods in his transactions with
the brigand, who knew the exact sum
that had been raised, and Sandansky
tnd his followers got the money, gave up
tbe women and rode off Into the hills
with Turkish troops panting Vainly after
them. .. '

Minneapolis Journal (rep.). ,
When It was first charged by Judge
Parker that corporations were bearing
tbe brunt of the republican campaign
in 1904, Colonel Roosevelt denied the al
legations with much heat Parker's
charge was made on the stump in a lit

When Mr. Archbold testified that his
money had not been returned, Colonel
