Two Colonies.

Colonel Harvey. as the publisher of
the Harper periodicals, was the chal-
lenger in this contest with Colonel
Roosevelt, so that he ought to be will
ing to take what popular judgment is
melted out to him. He charged Colonel
Roosevelt with saying that IL an cleo
ton were held this fall nothing Roose-
welt could do would prevent his nomi-
nation for the presidency and that he
would dominate the situation as the
sole son of destiny" Colonel Roose-
velt's answer is q fat denial of the
whole assertion, which the public will
take as final.
1t is not necessary to figure out
where this leaves Colonel Harvey to
arrive at the conclusion that he was
essaying a very difncult role. He,
above many other eminent publicists,
is not in position to persuade the
people that he has come anywhere
near correctly quoting the former
president.
Certainly it would appear that
Colonel Harvey had hit upon a very
poor way of depopularizing Colonel
Roosevelt. Whatever effect his arti-
Gle has will surely be in favor rather
than against the popularity of the man
1t attempts to deprecate for the very
reason that its purpose is too obvious
to be concealed. The wonder is that
man of Harvey's sense and sagacity
could have been deluded into writing
such diatribe. Naturally full Of
logic and convincing power as writer
he is irrationally inconsistent and con.

finally "a personification OF mischiev

lawyer to wonder what Editor Harvey
really thought of Colonel Roosevelt, Il
he did not already know.

Spain and Wevler.

One brief ultimatum from Captain
General Weyler seems to have COM
pletely repressed the threatened revolt
at Barcelona on the anniversary of
Prof. Ferrer's death, which was the
elimination of the last instruction by
the Galatians. The old warrior whose
reconcentrado system in Cuba pro-
voked American interference in the in
terest of humanity and deprived Spain
of the island seems to have lost none
of his relentless barbarity, as this
declaration to the Galatians indicates:
The moment a revolutionary outbreak in
Barcelona compels me as a captain general
to assume the supreme command / want
the revolutionists to know they must pre-
pare for mereiless fight There will be
neither prisoners nor wounded. The walls
of the hospitals will become useless and the
cemeteries viii have to be enlarged.
Spain may think it has finally real
lied on the Weyler investment, which
cost so heavily in Cuba, but even at
the risk of a revolt in the northern
province, when 1t is at issue with the
Vatican, can not justify such inhu-
name threats in the Judgment of civil
lied nations, and 1t is quite probable
that this savage outbreak of old Wey
Ter may prove worse for SPANS good
name than any uprising Barcelona
could have created. The Galatians. to
be sure, were foolish to threaten a re.
volt when the government itself was
pursuing course calculated to effect
even greater reforms than they could
possibly bring about, but that does not
warrant Spain, radical a power as it is
in making use of such threatened bar.
barity. 1t is doubtful if Spain could
justify any use it chose to make oil

sending a delegation of imperial rep
resentatives 20 the United States the
latter part of this month may wen be
taken as reassuring of a better spirit
for this country in China than some
recent events have indicated, the pro
posed boycott of American goods, for
instance. Ostensibly these imperial
lists are coming to inspect our naval
equipment, but since it is fairly well
understood that China contemplates
no expansion in that direction any
time soon, we may we'll decide that the
visit is rather for an improvement of
diplomatic relations. Contemporary
eously with the coming of the royal
family members, sixty students will
sail for America to receive education
from the indemnity funds returned to
China by the United States. All these
signs do not point very convincingly
toward a state of unfrlendliness be-
tween these two countries.

From the admission OF Nebraska as
a state into the union tradition has
maintained, almost in the nature of
unwritten law, making the Platte river
the dividing line for the apportion-
ment OF the two United States sena-
tors. with the exception OF a brief
period when the domination of the
populists gave us populist to repre-
sent Nebraska in the senate in the per-
son of William V. Allen and thus put
both senator's in the North Platte, this
rule has been unbroken.
The senatorship which is to be
filled at the coming election is the
South Platte senatorship, and IL the
traditional custom is followed it will
be filled by a candidate residing south
of the Platte, The potency of this
rule and the claim of the South Platte
country have been recognized in the
filings for the republican nomination.
Barring for the moment our old
friend, "Would-be Senator" Al Soren-
son, all the active competitors for the
republican nomination reside in the
South Platte country. On the demo-
cratic side, however, the North and
South Platte line is disregarded and
defied by the ambition of the editor
congressman from this district to be
promoted to the upper branch Of the
national legislature, and should he
succeed in reaching the goal we would
have a new alignment, at least for the
time being, of east and west instead OF
north and south.
With such change in the political
geography of Nebraska 1t goes without
saying that the senatorial place to be
filled two years hence would produce
competition Of candidates in the
western part of the state for both re-
publican and democratic nominations.
The Fifth district would have as good
right as the Sixth district to seek
what is now conceded to be a North
Platte senatoEship, and the First dis
trict as good a right as the Second
and the fact that Governor Shallen.
berger lives in the Fifth district and
does not disguise his senatorial aspira.
tions is what Is counted on to helI
wipe out the North and South Platte
line in the present election.
All this is in the realm of specula'
tive politics, to be sure, but it does nc
harm to look ahead and try to get the
bearings of passing events upon what
may reasonably be expected in tbs
future.

NEXT LAND DISTRIBUTION.
Several Choice Sections to he Opened
Op Next Year.

OP Next Year.
Baltimore American.
According to the reports OF the general
land office, given out on the LIST of July,
1909, there were at that time public lands
in possession Of the government. vacant
and subject to entry and settlement, ag-
gregatng 7S1,S540S1 acres, Of which 212, 727, 7SS
acres had been surveyed and 61S,6z6 2Ss
were yet unsurveyed. On the face this
statement would seem to indicate that a
vast landed area is yet to be distributed.
AS a matter of fact, however, the larger
proportion of these lands are OF very low
value and there is no demand for them.
There will be opened to distribution
among actual settlers next year, however
certain areas I'm Montana, Washington,
North Dakota and South Dakota that will
possess real agricultural value, and it is
likely that there wifi be another grand rush
westward of those seeking free homesteads.
In several of these reservations the Indians
will obtain the first apportionment and,
being allowed to choose, will naturally
select the best lands. But finally there
will be available for white settlers some-
thing over 100000 acres of lands, which
will divide up into 81, 500 eighty-acre home
stead tracts, aud viii sustain considerably
over 10000 population.
The governments policy toward the In
dians during the past quarter OF a century
at least, has been not only in the direction
OF helpfulness, but OF preferential treat
ment. Many of the Indians of the north
west are good farmers, and they know how
to pick the best when It comes their turn
TO choose. The chairman of one OF the ap-
praising commissions for land that will be
distributed next year declared in a recent
report concerning the Yakima reservation:
After the allotments shall have been
made to the Indians there will not be a
quarter section in the reservation open to
settlement upon which a person can make
living" But in some Of the reservations
the Indians will not be able to absorb all
OF the good lands. There Is likely to be
some rapid scramblng when these reserva-
lions are thrown open. and following the
land handout there will soon be a scatter
ing OF new towns on the map

Intensified Farming.

Homes for 5000 people and tim
othy in the field at $40 a ton Is the
report that comes from little COM
munity called Stafbuck on the Palouse
river In Washington, as the result of
reclamation. 1t shows the possibili-
ties of the new system of farming, and
yet $40 timothy in the field may or
may not be healthful sign. For the
man who sells it is, for him who buys
it is not. But the point of the story
is that western soil, in Nebraska as
well as in Washington, in the Dakotas
Idaho. Oregon and Wyoming-any-
where that reclamation and intensi-
fled farming are employed-will bring
results like these.
One thing our farmers will have to
guard against in this new generation
of irrigation and reclamation pro
cesses and that is depending too much
on them and failing to employ the
additional means of scientific selection
of seed, planting and filling the soil
without the latter they will not get
the maximum amount of good out Of
the improvements the government il

EDUCATION OF DOCTORS.
Two States at LoEEerheads over tho
Standard.
Philadelphia Press.


Philadelphia Press.
A constantly increasing demand for
higher standard of education in the pro-
LESSONS will inevitably produce conflicts
like that which has just arisen between
New York and New Jersey. A reciprocal
arrangement between the two states went
into effect on January l, 1907, whereby the
medical doctors licensed in one state would
be authorized without examination to prac-
tice in the other. The reciprocity arose
from the mutual satisfaction of the au-
thoritles Of New York and New Jersey
regarding the educational requirements of
the medical profession In either state.
Since then change has been intro
duced through an official Interpretation Of
the New Jersey statutes whereby the New
York board of regents believe the eduea-
tional requirements of medical students
in the sister state are lowered. Conse-
quently the board of regents will no longer
recognize New Jersey licenses. In turn,
holders OF licenses from the state of New
York will not be permitted to practice, as
a matter of course, in New Jersey.
The statutes Of New York state require
that a student shall have completed three
years OF high school work before begin
ming his medical studies. Four years of
high school work are necessary. but the
fourth year may be taken simultaneously
with the medical course. Last fall the
attorney general Of New Jersey rendered an
opinion that under the statutes Of that
state a student need not have done any
high school work before beginning his
medical studies; but that he might pursue
the high school courses and medical
courses at the same time. ....
This Interpretation is held contrary TO
the degree of education required by the
statutes of New York state. Hence the
rupture of the arrangement which has
worked satisfactorily for three years ana
a half. 1t is not impossible that this incl
dent may result in benefit for the whole
medical profession by emphasizing the ne
oessity for uniformity In the educational
qualifications of doctors throughout the
land,
Medicine and surgery are pre-eminently
progressive professions, They have been
revolutionized in generation More than
mere common sense" that very uncommon
quality of mankind is required in order
that the modern physician or surgeon may
keep pace with his profession. A greater
amount of responsibility attaches to those
who practice the healing art than belong
to any other class of men. Efficiency must
be maintained among them to high pitch.
One noted important influence to that end
would be uniformity of statutes on medical
education in all the states of the union.
