it at unseemly hours. Last Monday
morning an auto passed through town
from the east at 4:30 o'clock and the

open all the way through town, waking
people from their sleep and depriving
them OF much needed rest. There was

who were disturbed by the noise. It is

GOVERNOR sTUBBs, VICTORY.

GOVERNOR STUBS VICTORY.
Walter Roscoe Stub5s' denomination
as the Republican candidate for COVER
nor by such rather overwht Inning ma
1crity is, a fine testimonial of the
esteem in which he is held by a ma
jority of the Republican voters of the
Etate. His denomination was deserved.
He has been good governor, generally
fearless and independent in the dis
charge of his duties The mistakes he
has made have been few and none have
been of q serious character. No good
reason actually existed why he should
OF have received this denomination.
One Of the unwritte- rules Of Kansas
politics is that a man who has filled
the governorship in an acceptable fash
ion Is ent'+'~7 - least to another NOM
nation at the hands of his party. It
will be remembered. though. that Gov
ernor Stubs. led the movement of a
few '-"ars ago to smash this tradition.
MT. Bailey had made good governor.
Yet Stubs marshalled force that de-
NED Bailey denomination. So the
governor has no just cause-to complain
because an effort was made to admin
lister to him some of his own medicine.
Governor Stubs opposition was en-
gendered in all proba bility as a profess
or the part Of a large portion of the
Kansas Republicans against the unjust
attacks which were being made early
in the spring by certain Kansas Re
pnblicans against President Tat and
his administration. Many Republicans
got the idea that Stubs was at the
head of this anti-Taft sentiment. But
before the campaign progressed very
far he announced that he was an ardent
adnirer of President Taft and was in
sympathy with his efforts. And just
about this time, congress. during the
closing ten days of its session, got
" onderfully busy and enacted into law
most of the progressive legislation
urged by President Taft for the carry
ing out of the Roosevelt policies. This
great work stamped Mr.. Taft as pres
ident of presidents. The criticism which
had been hurled at him from certain
Republicans and newspapers which
were friendly to Mr.. Stubbs became a
Thing Of the past. Deserved praise took
its place. And there soon became a
unanimity of opinion among all Kan
sas Republicans, with two or three ex-
ceptions, that President Taft was maxi
ing as good a president as the United
STATS had ever had. The development
of this sentiment naturally knocked one
OF the biggest props from under the
stubbs OPPOSITION. If there had not
been decided change to Mr.. Taft on
the part of many of the Stubbs' SYM
pathizers, the chances are that his op-
POSITION. would have developed into
something more L -rruidable
Governor Strbbs' victory of Tuesday
undoubtedly strengthens his chances
for the realization of his paramount
political ambition-to represent Kan
sas. in the United States senate. The
contest for the Republican nomination
for the senatorship now held by
Charles Curtis comes along in two
years time. Mr.. Curtis will be a can
didate fer denomination ana election to
the place which he has filed so accent
ably That he will give Mr. Stubbs the
Pc lt1cal fight OF his life goes without
saving.

gated $768, 900, 900 in the fiscal year 1910.
against 1871. 100000 one year ago. $4s5.-
O0O,o 900 ten years ago. and $17s.oo0.0 900
twenty years ago. Thus imports of
manufacturers materials in 1910 were
larger than ever before and were 100
per cent greater than decade ago and
1873 per cent greater than two decades
ago. Manufactures exported to 1910
show also a larger total than ever be-
fore and were So per cent greater than
in 1900 and s29 per cent greater than IN
1890.
The falling off in the exports of food
stuffs, due to larger consumption by
our own people. is again illustrated in
the figures of 1910. which show the to-
tai value of foodsfuffs exported as but
$685.. 200. 900. against $438, 00o. 900 in 1909
and $545, 600, 900 in 1900, a decline OF 81
per cent in 1910 when compared with
1900. despite the fact that prices and
therefore export valuations were in 1910
higher than those OF 1900. The average
export price of wheat during 1910 was
81. 021k per bushel, against u cents per
bushel in 1900; corn, So cents per bushel,
against Al cents in 1900; of flour IS. 81
per barrel, against $o.61 in 1900; of
bacon, IL cents per pound in 1910,
against 81 cents in 1900; of pork,
picked, III cents per pound in 1910.
against So cents in 1900; of beef, sailed
or picked, To cents per pound in 1910,
against 81 cents in 1900; of butter, rs
cents per pound in 1910, against 70
cents in 1900; of lard, liz cents per
pound in 1910, against 6.3 cents in 1900;
and of cheese, 15.5 cents per pound in
1910, against 1912 cents in 1900. Meas
urd by quantities, the wheat exports of
1910 were 46 2-3 million bushels against
102, 600, 900 in 1900; flour, 100000 barrels,
against IS 2-3 million in 1900; and corn.
So As million bushels, against 209,000.0oO
in 1900 Manufacturers materials i'm
ported while showing higher prices in
many instances, show also large ad-
vances in quantities, the quantity of
india rubber imported in 1910 being
101, 100000 pounds, against 100000 in
1900; hides and skins, sos 2-3 million
pounds, against s4s, 100000 in 1900; raw
silk, 20 1-3 millions pounds, against
II, 250,000 in 1900; pig tin, 101, 100000 mill
lion pounds, against 100000 in 1900
and wool, 256,75O.OOO pounds in 1910
against $4,000 900 million in 1900.
The statistics showing the falling off
in the exports of food products ought to
bring forcibly to mind the necessity
for an increased production in this
country of such products. They should
give impetus to the "back to the farm
movement and also to the need of in
creasing the yields of the present farm
acreage.
