WILL CHINA PAY THE BILLS,

WILL CHINA PAP TIE BILLSi
1t appears that in some quarters the
idea obtains that China is to indirectly
indemnify Japan for the cost of the
war. 1t is suggested that having driven
Russia from Chinese territory Japan is
now able to restore it with a local gov
ernment, reorganized and improved un-
der japanese control, and China would
have difficulty in convincing any arbitral
tribunal that might be erected that she
is not indebted to Japan. That China
may be called upon to pay something
to her victorious neighbor, in consldera-
ton Of what Japan will restore to
China, is by no means improbable. 1t
would seem to be entirely equitable and
just that this be done and If Japan
part payment of the cost of the war
doubtless the Chinese government would
assent.
But 1t is not at all likely that Japan
expects or will demand from China any
thing approaching the amount of money
she asked Russia to pay. She has shown
generous consideration for China's
rights and interests, all of which are to
be duly conserved and protected under
the Portsmouth treaty, and it is safe to
say that she will not spoil this good
record by any exactions upon the
Chinese government. To adopt course
of that kind would be to sacrifice the
respect and admiration which Japan has
won from the world as a magnanimous
nation and undoubtedly she appreciates
this too highly to cast it aside for
money. Moreover, to coerce payment
from China would be to make an enemy
Of that nation and Japan will find her
greatest advantage in cultivating the
closest friendship with China. She may
get back from that source a part of the
cost of the war, but it will not be a very
large part and it will be obtained with
out coercion and without menace to
Chinese interests.

Quire some watching.

The political situation in Iowa is interest
ing, as is always the case when a state is
full of great men. Iowa has in public life
two members Of President Roosevelts cab
met, and one OF these is a prominent, per-
haps a formidable, candidate for president
of the United States. The senior senator
from Iowa Is perhaps the most influential
member Of the federal serate, and his col
league is an able and conspicuous member
of that body. Mr.. Hepburn is one of the
most formidable debaters in congress, and
associated with him are Cousins, Lacy,
Hull and Smith. Governor Cummins is a
statesman OF national reputation, and
George d. Perkins is tho editor Of an
influential political newspaper at Sioux
City.
1t would be strange. indeed, II these gem
tlemen-and there are others-did not keep
tine political pot a-boillng. The Iowa
democracy has retired from politics, but
there's plenty of politics in Iowa notwith-
standing The issue is stand pat" Sec
rotary Shaw is a standpatter; Governor
Cummins is a revisionist. There have been
some passages OF sarcasm between these
two that Senator Allison will have to at
tend to II q stop is not put to it. The most
irreconcilable standpatter In the state is
Mr. Cousins. Mr.. Hepburn, who by the
way, introduced himself TO congress some
twenty odd years ago in an eloquent speech
demanding free trade in lumber for the
prairie farmers OF Iowa, is nearly, but not
quite, as radical a standpatter as his
younger, more enthusiastic and possibly
more eloquent colleague from Cedar county.
Mr.. Hull is likewise standpatter and
abominates the preachments OF Governor
Cummins.
Governor Cummins is an orator, and his
speech is epigrammatic. He is going up
and down the state representing TO the
farmers that their products are sold at
prices fixed by the free trade markets OF
Liverpool, while they must purchase farm
machinery and farm utensils of a trust
that sells to Canadian and other foreign
farmers at prices greatly below what they
charge Iowa farmers for the same goods

made the remark tnat he was meditating
on that very thing, or something like 81,
and that he was nearly ready TO say that

ANorBER PBIMARY pRoBLEM.

The end Of the primary law muddle
is not yet. Another problem presents
in connection with the use OF the regis
tration books Of last year as the enroll
ment of voters for this year. AS every
one knows, the lapse Of twelve months
makes a wonderful change in the dis
tribution of voters, a large number moy-
ing every year from one district to an
other, and many more voters becoming
eligible by reason Of attaining their
majority, completing the required
time OF residence in the city, taking out
naturalization papers, or moving in from
some place in the state where registra-
ton does not prevail.
Under the new law no specific provi-
sion is made for the voter who has
moved from one voting district TO an
other since the last election, nor for the
voter who has located In Omaha within
the past year, nor for the voter who
neglected TO register and thereby lost
his vote at the last election, nor for the
voter who had to swear In his vote be-
cause he was unable to register The
strict Interpretation OF the law might
disfranchise from the primary 25 per
cent OF the people entitled TO vote at

the fight. even when stricken themselves.
II often takes more courage to face plague
and pestilence in the sick room than dan
ger on the field for in the former case there
is none Of the excitement OF the fray nor
the prospect of glory to win in the end. 1t
is simply the sacrifice Of life and of all that
makes life worth living at the call of duty,
and many a hero of the battlefield would
shrink In fear and loathing from the danger
fearlessly faced by these nameless heroes
