Nebraska democrats are anxious

Nebraska democrats are a~nxiously
endeavoring to make political capital
out Of the supreme court appoint
ments. Governor Sheldon exercised
his executive prerogative quite within
his rights under the law, and no very
good reason appears why he should
have made an extra effort to please
the democrats in his selection. He is
certainly under no obligation to the
Nebraska democrats, politically or
otherwise, and just why he should
have consulted with them in regard to
his choice for supreme Judge is beyond
the understanding of the ordinary
mortal.

THE PACIFIC ENTENTE.
Recent Understanding Rendered in
the V~ernacuIar of the Day.
PHILADELPHIA Record.

the ternacular of the Day.
Philadelphia Record.
TIL identical statement of the policy Of
the United States and japan, as formu-
lated by Secretary Root and Baron TAXA
hira, is very brief. 1t may be still further
condensed as follows:
l. 1t is the wish Of the Yankees OF the
east and west to do business without pull
ing hair. 'Tiss ,
2. They are satisfied with things as they
are and with the policy of the open door.
8 They won't seize each others islands.
T. They stand for unbroken China and
square dealing in China by all the powers.
s.. In case of necessity they will put their
heads together to devise how they may best
make their announced Pacific policy the
dominant Pacific policy.
This isn't a treaty. 1t is just a placard
posted up, so to speak, on the Chinese wall,
to let all the world know the pacific inten-
tions and friendly understanding of the two
foremos Pacific powers.

THE RELIGIOUS CONGRESS-.

Much interest among church people
will doubtless be attracted to the pro-
ceedings of the Federal Council of
the Churches of Christ in America"
the convention of which is now in SEES
sion at Philadelphia, representing the
membership of thirty of the Protestant
church organizations of the country.
The purpose of the church congress is
to bring these churches into closer re-
lationship, to the end that at some
future time denominations may be less
exclusive than nov and that many Of
the non-essentials on which churches
are divided into sects may be elimi-
mated.
Considerable progress has been
made in the last decade toward the
consolidation Of churches of the same
denomination or of denominations
that have been kept apart by
some inconsequential creed or claim
that had no bearing on the real relig-
ious belief of the adherents. The vital
differences between the sects are less
than ever before and the rivalries and
jealousies among them are rapidly
disappearing. All of this tends nat
urally to the ultimate gathering of the
churches into a limited few large de-
nominations and while that result will
not be accomplished for a good many
years, meetings like that now in pro-
gress will do much toward the gather
ing of all Christians into closer har-

If China and Japan become custo-
mers for American wheat, as is now
predicted, the farmers need to prac-
tice the better methods proposed, for
the present crop is scarcely more than
SUFFICIENT to meet the requirements OF
the present wheat eaters. In this and
in other similar directions the Corn
show is going to be of value.

FrankinE Privilege Springs the Leak.

The S42,5OO,OOO which the transmission of

ter sent free under congressional frank
cost, looms large beside the SIG, 10000 de-
ficit in the postal revenue for the last

as follows

1t will be noticed that the table
makes no reference to the timber
areas of China. South America, Cen
trail America. Mexico and Australia.
This is probably due to the fact that
the forest lands of those nations have
not been charted sufficiently to en-
able the department to furnish re-
liable and accurate data concerning
them. 1t is known that the forest
areas in South America and Australia
are vast and 1t may be concluded that
the total timber area of the world is
not far from S,O0O,O OO.O 900 acres, or
nearly double hat listed by the Wash
ington authorities.
The table is interesting as indicat-
ing the change that has been wrought
in government treatment of forests.
In most of the countries where the
forest area is limited, the effort is
now being directed. toward forest
preservation, whereas the entire trend,
in the earlier days, was to use the
forest as a source of profit. France,
Germany and England have made the
greatest strides in the work of refor-
estration, the rule or the law in each
of those countries being that for every
tree cut there must be n planted.
The United States Is coming more
slowly to this policy, but progress is
being made as the necessity for pre-
serving the wood supply of the nation

Dissection Postponed Indefinitely.

The tendency to treat China as a corpse
waiting for dissection has almost passed
away. The disposition to recognize in the
Chinese people rights other than that of
buying western print goods and iluminat-
ing oil, is perceptibly growing. China's new
infant emperor will probably attain a ripe
old age before the much-talked-of national
awakening IL complete, but the situation
in the far east today indicates that China
will, at least, be given a chance.
