Gaging Station Along Rivers
Recommended.
ARKANSAS CITY GETS ONE
Hutchinson, Dodge and Syra-
cuse on Arkansas River.


Washington, Nov. 2L-The work Of the
United States Geological Survey in CO.
operation with the University of Kansas
has been continued, but the field Of in
vestigation has been transferred from
Kaw river to the Verdigris and Neosho
rivers. That part of the state drained
by these streams is having the greatest
development, anu there are problems con-
nected with the water supply which re-
quire investigation. Such municipalities
as Emporia, Burlington and Chanute on
the Neosho, and Benedict and Independ-
ence on the Verdigris, have as their only
available source of supply these streams.
They are, however, being polluted by
sewage, mine waters and refuse from
the oil fields. and it will be an important
problem in q short time TO determine just
how the waters of these streams can be
utilized for domestic supply. The pro-
posed investigation. therefore, Is Of the
highest economic Importance to the state
OF Kansas.
The chief engineer of the United States
Geological Survey has recommended that
gaging station be maintained in Kansas
at the following points:
Lecompton, on the Kansas river.
Manhattan, on the Blue river
Junction City, on the Republican river.
Ellsworth, on the Smoky Hill river
Ottawa. on the Marais des Cygnes river.
Arkansas City, Hutchinson, Dodge City

FIVE MILLIONS A DAY.
That Is the Sum Realized for Ameri-
can EXUOrtS


Washington, d. c., Nov. H.-Five mil
lion dollars a day is a snug sum for the
people of a single country to realize as
the sale of the products Of their farms
factories. forests, fisheries and mines. The
exports of domestic products of the Unit
ed States IN the month of October, 1908,
averaged more than $5,000,e00 for every
day in the month, and for every busi-
ness day in the month averaged practic-
ally $1,000, 600 a day. The total exports of
the months, as shown by the figures of
the department Of commerce and labor
through its bureau of statistics, amounted
to $3.50, $40 059, which would average more
than $5,00O000 for every day in the month
and practically $6,0oO,O00 for each business
day in the month. From the port of New
York alone the exports of the month
were 81, ,S67. .9i2 or nearly S2,0e0,000 for each
business day of the month
This expectation in October, amount
ing TO $16o, 100000, exceeds that of any pre-
ceding month in the history of our COM
merce with the single exception OF Octo-
Der. 1890, when the total was Sl6S. .3S9, $50.
For the ten months ending with October
the total exports We're S1,1i9694 ,933, and
for the twelve months ending with Octo-
ber the total was 81, ,422. .SS7,954. These to-
tails for ten and twelve months, respec-
lively, are charger than in any preceding
year except 1901 and 1900, in which the
ten and twelve months totals slightly ex-
ceeded those of the present year.
Imports in October also exceeded those
of any preceding October. with the single
exception of October, 1902. They amounted
to SS1, ,931 ,005. or a little over two and one
half million dollars per day. The exports
were, as alerady shown, over 100000 per
day. thus leaving the average total eX-'
cess of exports over imports $2,50o0e0 per
day. The total excess of exports over
imports for the month of October was
SIS. .4S9054, or s2.530. .2S2 for each day in the
month, or s2,905, $50 fer each business day
in the month.
OF this enormous total of 160 millions Of
exports. or s6OO0.OOO a day for each bust
ness day, the largest single item was
cotton, amounting to S6o, ooo0Go, while the
remaining s1ol,000odo was divided among
other farm products manufactures, the
products Of the mines forests and fish
cries The high price of cotton during
the past few months resulted in a re-
duetiOu Of purchases abroad in the earlier
months Of the year and thus a shortage
of stocks, and as q consequence the first
month of the cotton year. October. show
ed a very large expectation Of cotton and
at unusually high prices. the average
price per pound for cotton exported being
10.1 cents. against an average of 81 cents
in October 1890. and cents in October.
1859
\ comparison OF October exports with
those OF october OF earlier years illus
trates the remarkable growth OF our ex-
port trade In 1870 the October exports
were - millions: in 1888. s. millions; in
1893. IS millions, and in 1850. 163 millions.
the largest exports for any single month
in the history of our commerce. and in
l9l3. ls9 millions, or more than in any
preceding month except that OF October.

The senate in days gone by. was q
place where only statesmen abided. it
has not been exactly that in all the years
rince the war OF the rebellion. Like into
{. legislature. or into city council. there
will occasionally creep a man who has
no place in this distinguished body. Any
sssemblage of men, no matter how care
fully picked. has its disappointments and
its misflts. The senate is no exception.
But the American house OF lords" has
probably fewer sticks" and improper Sc
lections than almost any other like body
the world over. The senate may not all
be Daniel NVehsters and Henry Clays and
John c Calhouns and I-ucius Quintus
Sextus Lamars and James q. Blaines and
Roscoe Conklins and George c. Vests. but
fl IS more nearly like the old days of the
real statesmen in the middle part Of the
century than It has been since that time.
There are stronger men today in the sen
ate than Tor half n century, and they are
devoting the best years Of their lives
and giving the greatest possible service
to their country. for the Tneager remuner-
alton the government gives them. They
arc men who command the respect Of Eu-
or socially. They are fit advisers 10 any
president this country ever had or ever
will have They are dignihed because they
have right 70 be. and because their
very position demands It. They are bUf-
fers between hasty legislation on the
part OF the house and the countrys well
fare. They come in between possible
ni.ft in the way of q presidential ap-
poiBtment. and the public interest. They
intervene between unwise treaties and

House Suits Better the Amer

Special Correspondence of The Eagle.

Special Correspondence OF The Eagle.
Washington, D. c.. Nov. PA great
deal of criticism has been poked at the
senate OF the United States because of its
dignity, it's autocracy, it's high-and-
mightiness, its insistence upon its preroga-
tives-and much comarison, not at all
favorable to 1t, has been made with the
virile house of representatives, with its
breeziness and its strength; fresh from
the people every two years
The senate has been called a refrigera-
tor-a storage place for statesmen who
are encrusted and veneered with the COM
placement, conceit and dignity and power
that comes to men who have been in pub
lie life as long as have many Of the mem
bers Of the upper body Of the American
congress.
The senate IS still facteiously referred to
by the opposition and the Anglomaniacs
and the alleged wit as the American
house of lords 1t has been accused Of
about everything under the sun that is
ncomplimentary-no to say all but IL
belous It has not at all times commanded
the wholesome respect that all Americans,
at least, like to profess they have for
the greatest body Of representative law
makers on earth.
About the only thing which these keen
critics have commended the senate for,
is its absence OF cloture, or the permis-
sion of free unlimited right to talk upon
any and all subjects within the realm Of
human thought. The house has been
criticised for its submission to the die
tum of the speaker and his two partisan
associates Of the committee on rules, who
absolutely run the body, and decide how
much or how little debate shall be had on
n subject UP for consideration. These
wise critics have begrudgingly pointed out
the senate as model legislative body; a
veritable debating society. They have
forgotten that the house, with its nearly
400 members. would be unwieldy and top
heavy without some restraint; while the
senate, with only ninety members, can
spend some time profitably in unlimited
speech.

mark in legislation. This is broad state
ment. and not altogether without occas-
ional exception; but it is the rule, never
theless. 1t is the harbor where good.
bad or indifferent bill finally comes. after
fits bewildering progress through the
house. If the bill be good. as a general
proposition, after mature and dignifed
consideration, manifests its approval If
bad the essential points are pointed out
touched up, remodeled and the bill goes
back TO the house for further. considera-
tion. The house in its hastefand action
ofttimes lets slip something which the
senate wisely considers, carefully and
thoughtfully and corrects error in.
The senate is dignified because it is
right that it should be. 1t is the higher
body Of the greatest legislative assembly
on earth. 1t is comprised of men. for
the most part-and the qualification
should be emphasized-who are Of ma
ture years and judgment. and expert
enced in the ways Of public affairs and
procedure. 1t is the confirming body for
ell presidential nominations. 1t is the
body which must say whether the men
selected by a president of the United
SAdltS are BcOu anu SUAA4Clt4AN plbi4C-Sti-
vants-to-be. 1t is the body which. indi-
viduaily, and on political grounds. selects
FOR the most part the men the president
is to appoint-and then, collectively, de-
cides whether it individually did a good
Job. It IS the body which weighs, and
holds this way and that; gaining light
from one viewpoint and another. the
great treaties formulated by conventions
between officials of this and other na-
tions OF the world. It decides whether an
important diplomatic proposition will be
10 the advantage Of America Il must
look far into the future, and foresee the
dangers that may hover around some pos
sible treaty It must be dignifed, and
consideratS.
