1905, the total was larger than in any
preceding October with the single ex-
ception of October 1904. The total
value of merchandise exported from
the United States to China in the ten
months ending with October 1905, was
$50,1O4,767, against $2O,557,1S4 in the
corresponding ten months of 1904,
which up to that time was the high
record year in our export trade with
China. In the single month of Octo-
bcr 1905 the very latest measure Of
our trade with China, the value Of
our total exports to that country was
S3,13S.645, against S3,S46,SO3 in Octo-
Der, 1904; $1,324,535 in October 1908;
s1,6S4,S64 in October 1902; s1,399, 6O7
in October 1901; and $579,OO5 in Oc-
tober 1900. Thus the October 1905,
exports to China from the United
States are larger than in any October
except that of 1904, and more than
twice as large as the average Octo-
Der since 1900.
In cotton cloths, which form more
than one-half of the total value of our
exports to China at the present time
the quantity exported in October, 1905,
was 29,O2S.O23 yards, larger total
than in any preceding October in the
history of our trade with China, with
the single exception of October 1904,
when the total was 43,343,533 yards.
During the ten month period ending
with October the quantity of cotton
cloths exported from the United States
to China in 1905 by far exceeds that
of the corresponding months of any
preceding year The total quantity Of
cotton cloth exported to China in the
ten months ending with October, 1905
was 451,000,000 yards, as against ILL.,
100000 in the corresponding period of
1904. lit 100000 in the corresponding
months of 1903 and 299,OOO,O0O in the
same months of 1902, which was the
high record figure prior to the present
year. The total value of exports to
China from the United States in the
ten months ending with October is
more than twice as great as in the
corresponding months of any earlier
year. and four times as great as the
average of that period during the last
decade.

THE CASE OF BURTON.

Whatever may be the future DISPOSE
ton the courts may make of the case
of Senator Burton, Kansas cannot be
too hasty in choosing another man to
serve her in the senate in his stead
Whether he intended to do wrong or
knew that he was doing wrong in be-
coming associated with the Rialto
Grain company, or whether he was in
nocent of any intention of wrong
does not have to do with the case in
its present phase. 1t has been proved
that he accepted pay while a senator
for acting as counsel for govern
ment department for the company, and
when he did SO he was breaking the
law. If he was ignorant Of that law
or did not know that he was infringing
upon it, that ignorance, while it may
excuse him morally in some eyes,
brands him as man unfit to be a
senator. The strongest men of the
nation are needed for members of the
upper house of the country's legisla-
tive body, and Senator Burton has
shown that he is weak man.

has received liberal support from the
business interests of the three cities
In this connection it is of special in.
terest to Ottumwa readers to note
that the Times itself is one of the un-
qualified successful institutions Of the
three cities. The publisher of the
Times, E. P. Adler, is recognized
today in newspaper circles as one Of
the most able and progressive, as we'll
as successful, newspaper men in the
United States. Mr.. Adler began his
newspaper career in the city of OF

German Journal. He learned the

ler's record is one of always doing

anyone else had done 1t. A compare

the Courier discovered" Mr. Adler

room to the front Office, where he
served successfully as reporter, city
editor, managing editor, advertising
manager and business manager. The
same record Of excellence was kept
up in every duty which Mr.. Adler I'M
dertook. He went from Ottumwa to
Davenport, and his record with the
davenport Times is one of the won.
ders of Iowa Journalism. Mr.. Adler
is today not only the publisher of that
paper, but is one of the largest stock
holders and MS success will be noted

DAKOTA THEN AND NOW.

Sioux City Journal.-A Beresfo.d, S.
D., dispatch says that J. E. Sinclair
Of that place. has been reader of the
Journal for thirty-seven years. 1t may
be that there are others outside Of
Sioux City, but there are not many
Mr.. Sinclair settled in Union county, of
which Elk Point Is the county seat,
in 1867. That was the year before the
Sioux City and Pacific road, Sioux
City's first railroad and the first rail-
road to extend into northwestern Iowa
was built. The first number of the
Daily Journal was issued on the 10th
day of April, 1870. The Weekly Jour-
nal was begun in 1863. When Mr.. Sim
clair began reading the Journal Yank-
Dakota The territory extended from
the confluence of the Missouri and Big
Sioux rivers TO the British borders. a
trackless and unknown wilderness. In
1889, sixteen years ago, or twenty one
years after Mr.. Sinclair began reading
the Journal, the territory was divided
into North and South Dakota and adj
mitte6 to the union as two states. To
bring about this result a memorable
campaign was fought. The Dakota
Southern was the first Dakota railroad
begun in 1872 and completed to Yark-
ton the following January, and now
the states ere crisscrossed by impor-
tant lines. Thirtv-seven wears ago no
one could have guessed--and there
We're sanguine men in those days
what would happen to Dakota in the
reach of time since Mr.. Sinclair began
reading the Journal. Out of the waste
of nature two great states have come
and the conouering has gone on over
the long reach to the coast, whure the
old border line, like McGintv, has been
dropped into the sea. It seems safe
prediction that the like of such a time
in the marvel Of development will new
er be witnessed again on the earth
There have been years Of sore trial
periods Of years of Encouragement, but
the white man has come out on top
The year now drawing to q close has
been by odds the most prosperous
year either territory or state bearing
the name Dakota has ever known
There has never been such year of
growth and never year when hope
had as safe an anchor. It is quite
becoming that Mr.. Sinclair and the
Journal should shake hands. Have
| they not grown up with the country?

THE DAY OF THE GUN.

reminders of the past-Des Moines

Such. sentiment as the above ex-
presses is unworthy paper like the
pne that gave it utterance. Il is to
be hoped that the author wrote it in
Mt OF abstraction, when, with a mind
filled with thoughts of other things. he
allowed his pen or his typewriter to
move at variance with his mind.
Nothing could be mure senseless
than to declare that the sportsman's
gun is out of date because a man is
accidentally shot. One might, with as
much logic advocate the abolition of
railroads because people are killed on
rights-of-way, or the closing of factories
because perchance a workman is
caught in some heavy machine and
manned or killed.
The man who, either by choice or
through the circumstances surround
ing his boyhood, has never known the
joys of hunting for game, has missed
from his life something that books can
never give, something that colleges
and universities may labor in vain to
supply, something that can be gained
in no other way but by communing
with nature. 1t is not a sentimental
asset, though it may be hard to de-
scribe. 1t is something in mans
being that makes him the more man,
more Independent, more ready to make
allowances for the weaknesses of 9TH

vantage and to have it for himself.

that its denizens, built of slow mate

TELLS OF QUARREL 5.s
THAT LED TO FATAL FIGHT

Annapolis, Nd, Nov. .30.--Midship-
man Meriwether yesterday before the
court martial related the whole story
of his quarrel with Midshipman
Branch, a quarrel which led to fight
after which the two young men shook
hands, made mutual apologies and
parted friends.
Meriwether closed his testimony by
saying:
II was grieved by the death Of Mr..
Branch beyond expression. think he
was more fortunate in being in his
place In going to sleep and not waking
up, than to be in my place and have
to live this life after this sad and de-
plorable affair"
Meriwether told Of the prosecutions
which led up to the quarrel and the
challenge to fight. Some Of these per-
secutions consisted of insults which
could not be repeated in the presence
of the women in the court room and
had to be whispered to the judge ad-
vocate.
Fought to End Feud.
After telling Of the quarrel In
Branch's room, Meriwether continued:
II was told the custom was that a
fight would end the feeling and Branch
had told me he was going to 'bilge'
me, that is, make me fail, and wanted
to fight and end them after. did not
intend to fight when went into the
room, but he again told me that he in
tended to sbilge' me-"
Meriwether's counsel then asked
him about his refraining from hitting
Branch during the fight, although al
lowed to do so under the rules. The
witness told Of two incidents Of this
kind, explaining that he. did not be-
lieve that any blows should be struck
in stand off fight unless the men are
on their feet. He also told how he
fouled and offered to give up the fight
but the seconds would not allow 1t.

THAT CHINESE BOYCOTT.

Though to the layman the Chinese
boycott did not seem enough import
ance to take the attention of President,
cabinet and foreign representatives,
the fact that this view was wrong is
shown by the figures just compiled by
the bureau of statistics of the depart
ment of commerce and labor. These
tables show that the exports from the
United States to China in the ten
months ending with October 1905,
were more than twice as great as in
the corresponding period of any pre-
ceding year in the history of our com.
merce and in the month of October,
