CHANGING EXPORT TRADE.

The increase in exports of manufac-
lures and decrease in exports of agri-
cultural products are discussed at con-
siderable length in a report of the chief
of the bureau of statistics of the de-
partment OF commerce and labor. For
the first time in the history of the ex-
port trade of the United States manu-
features exceeded $3.50. 900. 600. and ag-
ricultural products for the first time
fell below so per cent of the total do
mestic exports The total exports of
domestic manufactures were S452. AS
$40. against s4O7. $50. 159 in 1908 and s4Ss,-
s5l. 756 in 1900. the highest record in
earlier years. The total value of agri-
cultural products exported was $685.
6s5. 367, against SS73. 322. $50 in 1908. and
S943. ST.. 020 in 1901. when the highest to-
tai of agricultural reports was recorded
The gain in manufactures over ag-
riculturaI products in the export trade
of the country is shown in the fact
that in 1874 manufactures exported
amounted to but about one-ffth as
much in value as agricultural products
exported; in 1884 their value was about
one-fourth as much; in 1894 nearly one
third as much, and in 1904 more than
one-half as much as that of the prod
ucts of agriculture. while in the clos
ing months of the year May and June,
manufactures for the first time in the
history of our commerce actually ex-
ceeded agricultural products in value
of exports.
This decrease in the value of agri-
cultural products exported is the more
striking when il is considered that the
export price Of cotton averaged higher
during the year than In any prior year

ME. LULING IS DIFFERENT.
Asks That State Accountant Check
Up the Department.

As soon as State Accountant Rowett
can get around to it, Governor Bailey
will have him check up the state insur-
ance department. This will be done at
the request of Superintendent Luling.
Mr. Luling made the request of Gov
ernor Bailey some time ago that he
have the state accountant check up his
department, but Mr.. Rowett has been
so busy with other matters that he mas
not yet got around to it. Superintend-
ent Luling is different from some state
officers. Some of them grow1 and make
a fuss if the accountant comes around
their departments, alleging that he is
simply trying to send some one to the
penitentiary.' Mr.. Luling, on the other
hand, wants the accountant to go over
his accounts to see if any mistake has
been made anywhere. He does not seem
to be afraid that Mr.. Rowett will try to
send anybody to the penitentiary
around the insurance department.

George Washington Jackson, the
leader of the 23rd regiment band, col
ored, is anxious to have his band go
to St Louis to the Worlds fair on

To send the band to st. Louis will
require money and it is the belief of

of Topeka should get together and
make it possible for the band to make
the trip.

HARVEY IN LEAVENWORTH.
Topeka Man Pushing His Candidacy
for Congress.

Leavenworth, Kas., Sept. 23-The
Times says: Major A. M. Harvey,
Democratic candidate for congress in
the First district. is in Leavenworth
consulting with local politicians. He
arrived here yesterday and registered
at the National hotel. He will re-
main in Leavenworth until this even
ing when he leaves at 5:35 O'Clock
for Winchester, where he addresses a
meeting tonight.
During the day Major Harvey was
visited by a large number of local
Democratic politicians and last night
a number of Republicans called to
talk with him. Major Harvey has
been making an active campaign in
the First congressional district, max
ing a number of speeches and has
been we'll received by the people at
large.
Major Harvey stated that when he
received the nomination ne was rather
dubious regarding the result and did
not see how he would be able to over
come that 10000 majority but since
he has been throughout the district he
says he has found conditions prevailing
in the eRpublican ranks that give him
much encouragement.
sToere is a general feeling prevalent
in this district said Major Harvey last
night, that there is no regular Re
publican nominee for congress in this
district whose name will appear on the
OFFICIAL ballot and the Republican lead
ers take the position that Mr.. Curtis is
not the party nominee and that they
are under no obligations to vote for
him.
s',rhe result in the First district will
be close, but If my canvass for con-
gress is as well received the balance

Good Citizenship"
"A good citizen" he said, "is a man
who loves his country and gives
obedience to it's laws The good citi.
zen must love his country actively.
A man cannot live his life for him
self or to himself alone He cannot
be an Indifferent onlooker without be
ing a positive evil. He must be an
active co-operator The way lies
clearly in emphasizing the spiritual
side Of life. We pay a great deal Of
attention TO the physical and intellec.
tual, but unless we have in our hearts
a tender love and reverence for our
own religion we are not formed
There is a lack Of reverence. a lack
of love, lack Of fear of God. This
is the crying disease Of society, here
as elsewhere
"The cause Of this disease is an
apostasy from God To a large ex.
tent we put away Gods claim and try
to build up character without him. It
is a positive impossibility. How are
you going to remedy this? You can.
not touch the schools. They are for
all children, Of all faiths. and there

taken away from them Where then
is the child to get that training. n

the home, and the best priest is the
