Through Mr.. Whitmore's contribu-
ton to the art of printing, 1t is now
possible to take page of type from
a composing room, make matrix I'M
preston, dry it In steam tables, cast
the plate, tri NIT and have it on the
press ready for printing in less than
ten minutes. This is truly marvellous
when one considers the results
achieved. After the first process-that

type goes back again to the composing
room for the page to be made over
again for the next edition, and SO on
in rapidly following succession until
the last edition of the day.
Mr.. Whitmore was one OF the un-
crowned heroes of science. For ali that
he gave to mankind he received no
other reward than the satisfaction Of
having achieved success. His name
was almost unknown outside OF Wash
ington and few even Of the craft to
which he belonged remembered to con-
meet his name with the arteof stereo-
tipping. Yet to Whitmore above even

credit for giving the public the best

EXPORTS AND IMPORTS.

The export figures Of the United
States for the month Of September, ac-
cording to bulletin Just. issued by the
department Of commerce and labor
show a distinct upward movement, the
total value of exports for the month be-
ing larger than in any preceding Sep
TENDER in the history Of the export
trade, and also larger than in any
earlier month Of the current year. The
excess of exports over imports was also
larger than In any preceding Septem-
Der except in 1900 and 1897 The to-
tai exports Of September OF the cur
rent year we're $16S,858,093. against
$153,962, 1876 in September of last year.
The imports were $117, 271 ola, against
$121,O14, $50 in September Of last year.
The excess of exports over imports
was 51,587,079, against $32,948, 265 in
September of last year. This excess Of
exports over imports in September Of
the current year, $51, 5s7, 079, is larger
than in any previous September except
that month of 1900, when the excess
was $56,333,122, and September, 1897,
when the excess was $62,111,7s The
value OF exports in the nine months
ending with September was $1,222,-
911,20S against $1,161, 024,91O in the
CORES ponding month of last year. The
imports Of the nine months Of the cur
rent year were $1,172,375,910, against
$1,06S, 594,356 during the same period
last year.
The marked advance In the exports
for the month Of September. the bull
letin adds, is largely due to heavy ex-
ports of cotton at unusually high prices,
the cotton exports Of the month
amounting to 500 million pounds,
valued at s55.OO0,0OO, an average Of
1871 cents per pound. The quantity Of
cotton exported was larger than In any
September since 1904, the value larger
than in any September in the history
of the export trade and the export
price per pound also higher than in any
earlier September since 1875.

TAFT,s ECONOMIES.

On the question of economy, 1t has
been brought to the notice of all who
are observers of governmental affairs
that the Taft administration has made
a record. Instead of the gradual in
crease in demands for the various de-
|partments there has been a practical
scaling of estimates without hamper
ing efficiency until the estimates OF
the cost Of government under Taft are
placed at $1,096,952,051, against 81 1885,
454.697 under the last Cleveland
regime. Here as elsewhere, he never
has posed, but as contemporary ex-
presses 1t, he has talked little and ac-
complished much.
It is being brought more and more
to the attention OF the people that not
only has President Taft brought about
great reforms and great economies in
departmental affairs, but that his adj
ministration has been strengthened
by the great record of legislation ac-
complished by the last congress. Such
"a record was made possible solely by
the fact that the republican president
was aided by republican congress in
CARRYING out the great work he had
planned.
The people are coming to better
realization of the fact that the great
York that has begun must be carried
on and that President Taft must be
given support in carrying out to COM
pletion the economies and reforms he
has set out to accomplish.
This has wrought a change in senti-
ment and has blasted the hope ex-
pressed by the democrats of electing a
majority in the house. These hopes
were not founded on any program of
accomplishment planned by the demo-
Gratis, but only on the evidences Of
disaffection within the republican
ranks. Now that they are facing a
united republican party the democratic
hopes have been dissipated.
1t is now up to the republicans to
get busy in support Of the entire
republican ticket. It is not only inn
portant that a republican congress be
elected, but that the republican state
administration and republican legis-
lature be elected. Here in Wapello
county the republicans have nominated
a strong ticket. Every man on the
county ticket and on the township
ticket merits the support OF the voters.
Every republican can vote this ticket
straight, from top to bottom. and not
only should he do this, but he should
get out and work to see that his
.neighbors get out to the polls. The
record of achievement of the repub-
llcan party. both national and state,
is such as to demand the enthusiastic
support of all republicans.

JOHN CONDOR.

Quietly as the going down of the sun
John Condor passed away at his home
in this city on Monday morning last at
the ripe age of 81 years. He had been
in feeble health for some time but he
arose that morning at his accustomed
hour and while awaiting for his break

suddenly expired from heart failure.
The deceased was one of three broth
ers, born in Ireland, who came to this

He never married. One brother, VIM.
Condor, alone survives him.
