The New German Chancellor.

The naming of DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg as chancellor Of the German
empire makes 1t certain hat no change
in German policy, either at home or
abroad, will follow, inasmuch as the
appointment was made or the recon-
mendation of Prince Won Buelow, the
retiring chancellor. Personally the
new chancellor is not so we'll known
abroad as many other German states
men, but this is no indication of his
by his steadily upward rise in gov
ernmental service. He Is an intimate
personal friend of Emperor William,
the friendship dating back to college
days and, further, has been a close
personal adviser of the emperor. From
this 1t is reasonable to infer that his
impress upon German affairs has been
greater than surface activity discloses.
If the change in chancellors has
any outward effect it is likely to be
a larger influence, If that were posi-
BILE, of the emperor himself in the
empires affairs. This is likely to
create some u~neasiness, particularly
in Great Britain, where the emperor
has been credited with anti-British
designs. There is no reason to an
ticipate that the retirement of Won
Buelow will in any way change the
good relations between Germany and
the United States.
The new chancellor faces a difficult
problem at home, where it is the task
of a master to keep intact the group
ings Of parties necessary to maintain
a ministerial majority In the German
Reichstag, and the dissatisfaction Of
the conservatives over the Won Buelow
tax program renders it still more diff
cult.

Spring wheat has lost two points or so in

New York produce exchanges calculations
still indicates a harvest somewhat above

crop promised to be 6G3, 500, 900 bushels
against the 664, GOO, 1000 harvested last year.
$4,000, 900 harvested in 1907 and 735. 26O 900
in 1906. The largest wheat crop of the
past decade was that Of 1901, when 74s, 400
900 bushels were gathered in. The smallest
was that of 1900, when 522, 900, 900 bushels
were reaped. The present indicated crop
Is a fair average of the time. While re-
serves OF old wheat are very low. the
present indicated crop is large enough to
satisfy all home demands and to yield
an exportable surplus OF iOO,O 900, 900 bushels
which can be sold at very high prices.
Corn, however, forms the great feature
of the current report, The acreage planted
is the largest ever known, being some 7
per cent above that OF last year. The
condition OF the crop, 1913 is the highest
reported for July in nine years, and Is

wanted-A Fair Apportionment.

The amended primary law makes a
radical change in the method of hold
ing conventions to p~romulgate plat
forms and provide the administrative
machinery for the different political
parties in Nebraska. Heretofore the
platform conventions we're not held
until the latter part of September,
after the various tickets had been
nominated, and the law went into
much detail as to the constitution Of
these conventions. The amended pri-
mary law has repealed the substance
Of these provisions and moved the
date of the convention to the last
Tuesday in July, bringing It nearly a
month in advance Of the nomination
Of candidates and at the same time
leaving to the respective state commit
tees the determination of place, APP
portionment and the manner of select
ing delegates.
Chairman Keifer has called the re-
publican state committee to meet to
take action with reference to this sit
u%ation, and the call for the conven-
ton will doubtless be issued within a
few days. The law prescribes the time
of the meeting, but the committee will
fix the place, which need not be the
state capital as heretofore required.
The place Of meeting. however, is of
less importance than a fair appor-
tionment, which is now possible in
discriminating allotment of one dele
gate to each county, which vas en-
bodied in the old law. The state con-
vention is supposed to be representa-
tive Of the party in the state, and
while each county should have a
voice, the representation should con-
form, In some measurable degree, to
the membership of the party in the
various counties. This principle of a
proportionate representation has al
ways been recognized by the repub-
lican organization and has been the
foundation stone of the party, not
only in this state. but in other states,
and in it's national meetings.
Whatever provisions 1t may incor.
porate into the call for the coming re.
publican convention the state commit.
tee should, by all means, get back tc
a proportionate allotment Of repre-,
sentation that will afford some in.
~centive to building up the party.

The Persian Revolution.

The Persian revolution, which
promises to give constitutional govern
ment to that country, reflects the de-
cline Of autocratic government every
where. China has no constitution, but
by imperial proclamation a date has
been fixed for adopting one and It's
people are being educated up to meet
the changed conditions. How much Of
civil liberty peoples like the Chinese,
Turks and Persians are capable of
properly a~ssimilating is still prob
lematical, Japan being the only ORR
entail people up to date to show any
capacity for popular self-government.
The significant fact in connection
with these revolutions is the political
unrest which pervades the oppressed
peoples of the world and which has
permeated even these ultra conserva-
tive nations, whose masses have little
intercourse with or knowledge of west
ern civilization. Revolutions have not
been among them, but
heretofore they have always been up
risings against rulers and not against
forms of government. Modern thought
is following business intercourse and
the era seems approaching when all
lands will have ~measurably common
ideas of civil liberty. which to be main
tanned must carry with them a broader
and more universal education.
