You have no enemies ? Then
you never dared to stand up for
the right against wrong, you
have never protected the weak
against a bully, you have never
dared to defend your own right
against oppression. Had you
done any of these things you
would have made enemies. Even
if you had done none of these
things, but simply achieved a
little more success in your bust
ness than did your neighbor, you
would have an enemy, for fail

OUR PUBLIC LANDS.

Commissioner Richards os the gem
eral land office, has compiled table
which shows that there are 1926, 161,257
acres Of vacant lands in the north
west-Washington Oregon, Idaho and
Montana-and 821, S72,377 acres Of UNI
appropriated and unreserved lands in
the country at large. Montana has S.
455,435 acres Of such unappropriated
lands, of which 1S,409.023 acres have
been surveyed.
Idaho has the next largest area Of I'M
appropriated and unreserved lands,
reaching 39,66S,636 acres, of which 49,
84S,849 acres have been surveyed. Ore
gon ranks third among the northwest
ern states, with 2O,174,254 acres of va
cant lands, of which 14,527,289 acres
have been surveyed giving Oregon the
greatest percentage OF surveyed land.
Washington is credited with S,S62,932
acres of unappropriated Ian is. of which
total 4,O0S.954 acres, or about one-half,
have been subjected to survey.
Much Of this immense acreage is at
present considered utterly sterile, but

of arid lands now ccnsiiered valuable
were looked upon as entirely worthless.

ANeNT PROFESSOR cuRTlss.

Secretary Wilson has put a quietus
on the story that Professor Curtiss OF
Ames is to succeed DR.. Salmon in the
bureau of animal industry. Several
reasons why Professor Curtiss has not
been considered for the position are
given by the secretary. Curtiss is not
a veterinary surgeon, which Is a legal
requirement.. The most satisfactory
reason given. however, is that Profess
sor Curtiss would not accept the posi-
ton If offered him.
This is Professor Curtiss' logical po-
sition. Outside the financial advantage
carried by the bureau position there is
little to tempt a man like Curtiss from
the wide life land opportunity of a
school like Anles, to the musty seclu-
sion OF government bureau. Every
student of animal industry and almost
every stock raiser and farmer In the
United States knows and appreciates
Curtiss and his work. He and his
school lead the procession of animal
industry. He is identified with growth,
progress and development as the chief
Of no government bureau could be. His
is no veterinary job. He is not tinker
of things already made, but a creator
Of new things Salmon's position Is too
narrow for Curtiss. Were it the Will
son succession that is in question, mat
tiers might be different.

free from prosecution as they have
been.

Those applying and chosen to receive
the benefits Of this fund will be given
two years training, with a rich exper-
fence in nursing the sick poor of the
city under skilled leaders. The term
may be shortened to eighteen months
by taking preliminary course of six
months reading and study at home. A
special short course enables young wo-
men to quickly qualify themselves for

THE ANGLo.IapANesE ALLlANce.

The publication Of the text of the
Anglo Japanese treaty confirms and
emphasizes the forecasts of the As
ISOLATED Press regarding the closeness
of the alliance of the two nations.
Practically it binds the two together
as fighting force, and especially in
defense Of the Asiatic possessions Of
each. Russia's design against India
is doubly blocked and her hope, if she
still entertains such of dominance along
the East Asia coast finds England as
well as Japan in its path. The treaty
is doubtless calculated to maintain
peace in the orient. 1t certainly Is
calculated to preserve the territorial
claims of both Japan and Great Bril-
tain. Pledging the strength Of each
nation to the other for defense and
offense, 1t combines two of the strong
est navies in the world into an ire
sistable sea power. Russia can never
gather a fleet to make head against
the combination. The treaty is due
to make history during the decade for
which it is to endure.
Flushed with her victory over Rus
STA, with the British navy at her back
and ambitious Of power and pre-emi-
nence, it will need wisdom on the part
of her rulers and counselors to keep
down Japanese aggressiveness If the
alliance keeps the peace in Asia and
along the coast it has been well writ
ten. If Japan, with peace assured by
power, enters into the contests of COM
merce and devotes her energies and in
dustrial development the treaty is an
excellent move in the policy of nations.
If, on the other hand, the alliance is
the first step in scheme Of territorial
expansion, there Is trouble brewing
where every strong nation in the
world holds some territory and covets
