in claiming that it would be bet
ter for us to manufacture oul
raw cotton into goods at home
and supply the world with the
manufactured goods it needs,
reaping the immense profits our
selves which other countries now
make, the fact remains that the
building UP of a vast manufac-
turing industry is not the work
of a few days, but the slow de-
velopment of years. 1t is no
longer true that we ship all of
our raw cotton abroad to be
manufactured, since we now spin
and weave five million bales of it
into cloth at home, both for do
nestle consumption and for ship
ment abroad.
The cotton manufacturing in
dustry has made wonderful
strides in the United States in
recent years particularly in the
Southern States, and it is not be
yond the realm OF probability
that the day will come when we
will manufacture practically the
whole of our cotton crop into
goods at home. In the mean
time it is of the highest advan-
tage to have foreign markets
ready and willing to absorb the
surplus of our cotton production.
No industry advances by leaps
and bounds, but is the product of
steady growth. The manufac-
turing industry has ADVANCED
probably as rapidly as any other
American industry, but it would
not have been able to have sup
ported the raw cotton.industry Of
the South unaided nor have alb
sorbed the constantly increasing
production, hence the export
trade has heena decided adVan-
tasge, and it is a mistake to hold
that q measure calculated to
damage the export trade would
be of advantage to the domestic
manufacturing branch of the
industry.

In memory of Mr.. H. J. McNutt.

/ On the evening Of February 9, thu
icy hand of death lay nod ol one oi
, our high esteemed neighbors, Mr.. H. ],
| McNutt, and bore his gentle spirit on
it's snow white wings and landed it ii
the home of the soul. He was taken
sick some weeks ago, and lay on bee
Of sore affections Until God in His infin.
tie wisdom saw fit to call him home.
AS for his christian life, we found he
lived a christian for nearly sixty long
years and the longer he served God
the happier he was.
He was always found at his post,
doing his duty as a chris ian and AS a
citizen, always in a cheerful way and
ready to lend a helping hand to up
build Christ-Kingdom He was a mem
Der of the Methodist Episcopal church,
a bright and shining light in the church
and in the community in which he lived.
He will ever be remembered by those
who Knew him for his christian inAu-
ence and kindly features. He SAID
some few days before he died that he
was ready todie and would be at rest"
He was q man Of nQble character and
full of the Holy Spirit, which made all
who came in contact with him know he
was a follower of Christ.
He was one of the veterans who
fought in the Civil War. He leaves be-
hind to weep, a wife and many rel3c
tives and friends, but our loss is his
eternal gain. In time Of sorrow may
you look God for your comfort, and put
your trust in HIM for "He doeth all
things we'll May we all strive hard
er go de oHr christian daty more in the
future than we have done ia days past
and gone, and when we come to o
the FLYER of death we can say as Paul
did II have fought a good fight, and
I've kept the faith, henceforth there is
a crown LAID up for me-"
In this our tribute If yyapeus 10 our
deceased hrStaYe We pen these lines
with heart in sorrow, but n sweet
thought that thrills onr hearts with
JOY that we shall some day meet him
and those who've gone before, W.
can say of him:
"Serya1t sf gdd wall done,
Rest from the work employ:
The battles fought and victory won,
Enter the Masters joy"

The Cotton Problem

In connection with the discus
sion of the advisability of cottor
being made non contraband by
the Naval Conference in London,
the Philadelphia Inquirer says il
probably would be a good thing
for this country if no such action
were taken and cotton be retain
ed as one of the contraband arti.
cles, since such action would have
a tendency to compel the United
States to keep its raw cotton at
home instead of selling it to for
eign manufactures at starvation
prices to enable them to make
big profits out of it's manufacture
into goods, and the distribution
of such goods to the world at
large.
Commenting upon this view of
the matter, the Inquirer says:
1T seems utterly absurd that
the United States, with all this
raw material at hand, should be
content to sell it at little profit
in order that other countries may
become rich and powerful from
handling it. If this cotton were
to be kept at home, it would
have to be manufactured into
goods right here, and the status
of the nations foreign trade
would be fixed definitely, secure
ly and commandingly. We are
in the position to supply practl-
cally the world with cotton goods,
and yet we neglect to grasp the
opportunity. Just as we have
permitted other nations to cap
ture the ocean-carrying trade,
we have been satisfied with SELL
ing them raw cotton at beggarly
prices in order that it may be
manufactured by England, Ger,
many, Switzerland, Belgium and
other countries, when we should
be doing that enormous manu-
featuring business ourselves"
While our Philadelphia con
temporary is undoubtedly correct

it is also a fact that we now con-

university.

week. He will then have a conference
with Superintendent PEARS and begin
his campaign for the annexation of
Haskell. This addition to the univer-
sity. and the installation of advanced
trade courses would only be following
out the trend that the university has
taken in the last few years. The in
dustrial fellowships, the system of uni

GEN. Try WANTS CHANGE
Kidnaper Would Have Case Tried in
Another County.

Joseph N. Gentry, who has become
famous in Topeka by his part in the
kidnapping of little Marian Bleakley, is
in the city today for the purpose OF
arranging to secure change OF venue
from the district court of Shawnee
county. The attempt is to be made
January 9, the last motion day of the
present term. The January term dur
ing which Gentry, Mrs. Stella Bar
clay. Bob Randolph, Captain j. H.
TilIitson, and others who may be i'm
plicated are scheduled for trial, begins
January 10.
Gentry, who is on a $4,000 bond on
the charges of kidnapping and assault
upon Clarence Belnap, is represented
by the law firm of Denison, Nation &
Grant, of Erie, Kan. Gentry's home
is at Erie and half his bond was raised
there by his mother and sister. Philip
Wilson, who worked day and night in
securing the bond, also is in the case,
as is one landslide of Kansas City.
C. F. Denison began the prepara-
tions for the attempt at change of
venue this morning, when he asked
for a certified copy of all the papers
in which Gentry's name figures. Cap
tain Til1otson also was in the city last
evening with a lawyer and they, too,
got copies of the papers in which Til
lotson was involved. but did not leave
a clue as to what they wanted with
them.
Gentry, seen by a reporter in Will
sons office about noon, seemed in
bouyant spirits and explained his
change of appearance to a weeks
visit down in the country-which is
taken to mean Erie.

PEARY'S EARS FROZEN.
Explorer Finds Maryland Worse Than
Polar Regions.

Washington, Dec 30.-Long expert
ence in frozen Arctic regions stood
Commander R. E. Peary in good stead
last night when his automobile strand
ed in snow bank in the remote re-
gions of Maryland while he was en-
route to a friends home for dinner. He
was compelled to face a bitter wind in
light evening clothes and wade through
deep snow drifts in low shoes for a
mile or more to obtain assistance.
Finally arriving at his destination
after having his machine dug out of the
drifts it was discovered that Mr.. Peary
had suffered from slight frost bites OF
his ears and 1t was necessary to give
them vigorous snow treatment before
they became normal.
