Iorga eventually parted with "Sămănătorul" in late 1906, moving on to set up his own tribune, "Neamul Românesc". The schism was allegedly a direct result of his conflicts with other literary venues, and inaugurated a brief collaboration between Iorga and "Făt Frumos" journalist Emil Gârleanu. The newer magazine, illustrated with idealized portraits of the Romanian peasant, was widely popular with Romania's rural intelligentsia (among which it was freely distributed), promoting antisemitic theories and raising opprobrium from the authorities and the urban-oriented press.
