The New South African Nation.

South African federation has been keen
iy desired by many British statesmen
ever since the subjugation Of the Boer
governments Of the Transvaal and the
Orange River Free State eleven years
ago. England had maintained two colo
MES on the borders OF these Boer states
for years prior to the war Of 1899, and
when the conflict resulted in the annex
alton of the previously independent terri
tories to the north of Cape. Colony the
concept OF union OF all four under a
single governmental organization was
born in London. 1t was the dream OF
Cecil Rhodes to effect such a federation.
1t is now on the point OF actual consum-
nation, virtually along The lines proposed
by Rhodes.
Tomorrow the four colonies of Natal
Cape of Good Hope, Transvaal and Orange
River will be united under single admin.
istrative and legislative authority. Wis.
count Gladstone will be the governor gen.
eral and Louis Botha, present premier OF
the Transvaal, will be the premier of The
new organization, which Is to be styled
United South Africa. Gen. Srnutz. the
new minister Of the interior, mines an6
defense relipquis,es the office of colonia
secretary of the Transvaal. Mr.. Sauer
minister of railways and harbors, ha.
been commissioner of public works Of
Cape Colony. Gen. Hertzog, the new
minister of justice. has been attorne.

tiers. Doodle was abundant. and con-
fessions are made that it found it's way
to the pockets Of legislators for votes
for other things than the senatorship.
Mr.. Beveridge has received the in
structions OF his party and Mr.. Kern
those of his party for senator in In
diana, and both parties are honorably
committed. A reputation of instruc-
tions in that state next winter would
fill Indianapolis with traders and boo
dlers, and a deadlock and a scandal
could not be averted.
In Ohio Mr.. Dick has offered himself
and received a gratifying support at a
primary. Mr.. Bryan would have the
democrats name a candidate for senator
at their state convention. What may
we not expect at Columbus If a re-
publican legislature gathers and rejects
Mr.. Dick, or a democratic legislature
gathers uninstructed and the liquor in
terests claim the right to name the
senator?

Malan the new minister of education, has
| been secretary of agriculture in the Cape
Colony cabinet, and Mr.. Hull, the new
minister of finance, has been treasurer
of the Transvaal. Thus men Of expert
ence have been drafted into the new gov
eminent from the old organizations, Ma
tai alone having no representation In the
ministry. Natal, however. has always
been regarded as more or less negligible,
there being no local conditions such as
in the other three component parts of the
new federation require careful treatment
to prevent race feelings from arising. The
population of Natal Is overwhelmingly
native, $4,000 Of the 1,164, 600 in 1907 be-
ing Africans, 10000 Indians and Asiatics
and the remainder Europeans. or the
Europeans the greater portion are of
English affilation.
The combined states of Cape of Good
HOPE Natal. Orange River and the Trans
vaal contain an area of 393,602 square
miles and population, according to the
latest estimates, of about J.ooD,oOO. The
population is increasing rapidly. particu-
larly on the European side. There is an
abundance Of room for expansion and 1t
is expected that with liberal admins
tration the resources of the four states
will be so speedily developed that within
few years the United South African
federation will be one of the most i'm
portant factors in the British colonial
system. The course of government since
the annexation of the two Boer states
has been marked by exceptional wisdom.
The Beers have been admitted to a large
share in the management OF affairs and
there is no sign whatever of disposition
to undermine the British authority.

Roosevelt and Root,

Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Root spent two
hours together in London yesterday In
conversation. For once probably Mr.
Roosevelt was a patient listener. He
was very curious, and Mr.. Root had
much to tell him. Neither would talk
for publication after the interview was
over. AT about the same time Mr.. Pin
chot was in the clutches of interviewers
in New York, and silent also about the
details of his meeting with Mr.. Roose-
welt abroad. He did, however repudiate
the story of that forest In Italy, into
which the cable had made him and Mr..
Roosevelt disappear for a CONTEMPLATION.
The Star suggested at the time that 1t
was probably a clump of trees. Mr.. Pin
chot confirms this. and adds that they
were olive trees. Did Mr.. Roosevelt cut
. branch, for use in the conservation
matter upon his return home?

The Lorimer Case.

Mr.. Lorimer has asked for an investi-
cation by the Senate of the charges
impeaching the integrity of his seat in
that body, and the request will be
granted. The bottom facts should be
reached and laid before the country
In effect, Mr.. LOrimer invites this and
the public will expect it, Every feature
of the contest which resulted in Mr.
Lorimer's election should be probed
and the Senate committee will possess
the necessary authority.
The voters Of Indiana and Ohio
should reflect on this case, not in the
way, of course. of prejudging it-for

A New York-Washington Flight.

Aviator Curtiss suggests that an air.
plane race between New York and Wash
ington would greatly stimulate public
interest in heavier-than-air aviation and
advances the suggestion that a prize be
offered to induce contestants to enter
upon such a competition. 1t is to be
hoped that this idea will materialize. The
successful fight of Curtiss from Albany
to New York is TO be regarded as the
first American long distance airplane per-
Torrance, and it should be merely the
beginning of a frightening series of tests
to demonstrate the misunderstanding ca
pacites of American machines.
Probably within few months an effort
will be made by the airpanists to cross
the continent from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast No other country in the
world offers such opportunities for long
distance airplaning as the United States.
With the exception, possibly, of the
Rocky mountain region, every portion
of the transverse continental section may
be negotiated by aviators, with conven-
lent stopping points for the replenish-
ment of fuel. The constant tendency is
to increase the length Of the flights be-
tween stops by adding to the fuel-car-
rying capacity of the machine, and it is
not to be doubted that soon a machine
will be in service capable of carrying
the aviators safely over even such
stretches as those to be encountered in
the more mountainous portions of this
country.
Meanwhile. flights from city to city
will be instructive, and doubtless will
foster the development of the airplane as
practicable machine. The professional
aspect Of aviation is to be encouraged.
The men who are now engaged in giving
exhibition flights and in soaring for
prizes are risking their lives for gain. It
is true, but at the same time they are
contributing valuably to the science OF
aviation. and 1t is due to them that
rewards should be made available for
their winning. The men who are now
solving the problem of human fight are
entitled to rich returns for their enter
prise and daring, and the men who on
their part come forward to offer ade-
quate prizes to stimulate this develop
ment are doing a public service. There
should be no question of a sufficient offer
to render certain competitive flight be-
tween Washington and New York on
the part Of several aviators.

Edict of Poster Printers,
From the Baltimore Sun.

The International Association of Poster
Printers, in convention in Cincinnati, de-
cided recently to print no more sugges-
tive or improper posters, their sensibili-
ties. no doubt, being outraged by too
great an intimacy with such questionable
works of art. BY this action the bill
board, it is to be hoped, will be forever
stripped of it's blonde ladies in abbrevi-
ated costumes. its broad double entendres
and all of the other shameless adver-
Using devices which have offended good
morals as well as good taste. The course
of the convention has been approved by
officials of the United Catholic societies
Of the world and sufficient sum of
money was set aside by the convention
to carry out its mission in this direc-
ton. This is the first stage censorship
of any scope in the United States and
ought to prove a blessing to poster art
as well as to a long-suffering public.

he now may be he should remain, making
himself comfortable with the money he
gathered while posing as a hero. and as
sured Of the fact that all who contributed
to the sum cannot think OF it without
feeling uncomfortable.

Koch and His Discoveries.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Robert Koch both enjoyed the advan-
tage and suffered the disadvantage Of
the popular celebrity which often con-
fuses just estimate of scientific at
tainment he was one of the great lead
ers in modern bacteriology and his direct
contributions to practical science were
many and important. His fame rests PR
marily upon the isolation OF the tubercle
bacillus, q discovery which appealed
broadly to the popular ina gination and
led him into a line of experimental re-
search which raised enthusiastic hopes
Because the results of 'tuberculin" did
not instantly realize the eager expectation
which they raised, koch's popular fame
was correspond.ngly depressed. There has
been lately a tendency to underrate hi.
actual contribution to the therapeutics OF
consumption and to neglect his many
other important services to medical
science.
