The Young Nan In Politics.
The movement inaugurated in the
interest of enlisting young men in
the matter Of State and National pol
itics, is one Of the most gratifying
ones Of this period. A carefully
studied preparation OF the duties of
citizenship, properly rest on every
American freeman who casts bal
lot; for voting should not be con-
sidered pastime, but solemn duty
due from the voter to this great Re.
public.
The sturdy words and burning
thoughts in vigorous phrase, as they
fall from the lip2 of Capt. j. B.
johnson in response to an invitation
of his felIow-c citizens to accept their
best wishes and deeds, made in an
iniatory movement to make him the
next Governor of Kansas, touched
chords that vibrated in the hearts of
his auditors. and commended him to
their most favorable con sidera ton.
Getting ones political thinking
done by proxy, as has been so COM
mon in the day and age in which We
| live, is contrary to the genius of our
institutions, and is a great possible
menace to that boon Of inGalculable
yalue,-liberty for ourselves and our
posterity. No man ever appeared
before on the soil of Kansas with
bolder, manlicr and more opportune
words than did Capt, J. b. Johnson
in his modest acceptance OF the honor
and trust that inhercs IN the position
of Governor, as presented 10y SO

That all editor should draw a pen

his paper which shall faithfully por-
tray his future course has been set
tleo long ago, at a bar from which
there is no appeal.
To plead modesty, therefore,
(which by the way has already
wrecked too many young papers Of
fine promise) would be but to invite
ridicule. We would venture to say
I'VE have come to stay" but that's a
worn out dodge. It's fact, how
ever with regard to u.s. We would
venture the assertion that the PAT
RIOT will be what its name indicates,
the deathless friend of our civil
liberties, and the Nemesis of their
foes but we already hear the "gen-
tie reader" saying that's Too pre-
vious, it won't wear. (That's what
we are going to do, though.) This
skepticism whispered us by the
ghouls who dance day and night
around the half dozen shafts of late
departed, would deter US, but good
and true men and women declare
that we need an exponent, and we
are determined, that 50 far as it lies
within us, to supply that ''long felt

a three days campaign undera green

seem like soldering, 50 we took
French leave and wandered back
into the old camp. We rather guess
we'll stay now. The fact is we have
concluded to come back and run the
old party ourself if the boys get toe
hard for US again.
But what we mean to say is that
the PATRIOT is going to be repub-
lican with lance free enough anC
bold enough to puncture fraud, cor
ruption and unfairness, no matter
where found.

we resume the duties OF a position

The Granary Of the World.

II. Edmonds, the grain expert, has
published in a recent number of the Bal
timore Journal of Commerce an elabor
ate statistical review of the c~ultivatine
and marketing of American cereals from
the earliest times. He brings out strik.
ingly the fact that the production and
export of wheat On a grand scale is com
paratively new business. AS late as 1885
a considerable quantity was imported
from Europe, and in five fiscal year;
ending June 30, 1910, the exports were
only 1872 81 bushels. This is an av-
erage of 36S, sos bushels a year. Forty
years later the aggregate has risen tc
1853, 252. 895 bushels. The exports OF
flour, however, amounted to 4,451, 3SI
barrels for the five fiscal years ending in
1925. This was 1851 per cent. of the
total of wheat and flour exported. The
percentage of flour pretty steadily de.
creased from that time till 1880, when il
was only 1872 of the whole. In the yeai
ending with last June, however, it rose
to zig per cent. Its the opinion of Mr.
Edmonds that the proportion of flour.
will steadily increase in the future
owing to the popularity of the American
article, and the necessity for finding q
foreign market for the growing output
of the mills. The highest average value
for any five years from 1921 to 1875 wa,
for the five years ending in 1870, when
the export value of wheat averaged S1.4 ]:
a bushel, and of flour 49, 3 a barrel; the
