nearly a half million pounds, while
other contributors include Venezuela,
Ecuador British West Indies, Santo
Domingo, Mexico. Panama, Nicaragua
and Costa Rica, while from Egypt the
chief source of supply of long stapled
high grade cotton, the imports in 19li
were larger than in any earlier year,
amounting to eighty-eight million
pounds. In addition to this there was
imported from England about seven
and one-half million pounds, presum-
ably chiefly East Indian, Egyptian and
West African, since England, of course,
produces no cotton. Raw cotton i'm
portations in 1911 were larger than in
any earlier year, amounting to 113,76S,-
313 pounds. valued at $24776,320.
High prices of domestic cotton are
the cause of the large increase in i'm
portation of cotton, especially that
from China and India. The quantity
of cotton imported from China never
reached a quarter of a million pounds
prior to 1908, and in 1909 was practi-
cally one and one-half million pounds,
in 1910 four and one-half million and
in 1911, nine million pounds. From
India the quantity imported seldom
reached a half million pounds prior to
1908. in which year the total was over
three-quarters of a million pounds; in
1910, five and one-half millions and in
1911, two and one-half millions. The
Chinese and Indian cottons are as a
rule of shorter staple than that of the
United States, and as a consequence
are rated at a somewhat lower price
in the worlds markets, a fact which
accounts for the large growth in the
importation of these cottons in the re
cent years in which American cotton
has commanded exceptionally high
prices. On the other hand, Egyptian
cotton which is of longer staple, higher
quality. and therefore higher in price
than that of the United States still
forms a large proportion of the i'm
ports, the quantity imported direct
from Egypt l.. 1911 being eighty-eight
million pounds out of total of IL
million pounds imported in that year
and it's value twenty and one-half mil
lion dollars, out of the twenty-four ant
three-fourths million dollars worth o
cotton imported.
Cotton importation has shown
steady if not rapid growth, especial!
during the last twenty years. Prio
to the Civil war the quantity imported
seldom reached more than one million
pounds per annum. During the wa
the quantity imported was quite large
ranging as high as thirty-siX million
pounds in 1865, but dropping to 81,
million pounds in 1866 and less thai
one million in 1867. By 1870 the tota
importation of cotton was one and two
thirds million pounds; in 1880, thre
and one-half millions; in 1890, eigh
and one-half millions; in 1900, 81 mi
lions in 1910, sc million and in 1911
l113 and three-fourths million pounds

IMPORTS OF COTTON INTO
THE UNITED STATES

1t seems strange to see the greatest
cotton producing country of the world
bringing raw cotton half way around
the globe and importing it for use in
her own manufacturing industries. 1t
lis nevertheless a fact that the United
States, which produces practically two
thirds of the worlds cotton, brought
from China during the last fiscal year
Q911) more than nine million pounds
of raw cotton, at a cost in that eoun-
| try of more than one million dollars
and from India in 1910 about live and
one-half million pounds, at a valua-
ton of more than a half million dollars
Other distant sections of the world
were also drawn upon-Peru, four and

ed only last Friday. Before he died
e boy called to him and said:

The father, although his grief was
i'll fresh, preached before the presi
ent. Last night Mr.. Taft sent him
;essage of sympathy. News of the
ltomobile disaster at the Syracuse
ir just a short time after he left the
'ounds, reached the president Sunday
nd came as a distinct shock.
While he watched the racing cars

Farn his automobile ride Sunday tn

The three Snglish dalies of Erie il

result of his coming. The Times, rt
publican, calls attention to the major
ity returned for the president at tn
last election, and asserts that "Eri

firing line for his denomination an

The Herald, democratic, says:
There are none who do not hone
in him the representative of America

amply demonstrated in the enthusiast

Though the president avoided parti-

strengthen his personal position in
1912, he has won greater admiration
and stronger following than he might
have had, had he come here to blow

SENATOR GORE PAYS
A VISIT TO v|N|TA
Thinks Revision of States Revenue
System Would Warrant Calling
Session of Legislature.

Vinita today is enjoying an unex-
pected, though ever welcome, visit from
one of the nations most popular men
Senator Thomas Pryor Gore, the blind
orator and statesman of whom all Ok
lahoma is proud. Senator Gore arrived
last night from McAlester, where he
spoke at the Pittsburg county fair He
is the guest, while here, of Congress-
man James S. Davenport and wife. The
senator attended the good roads meet
ing at Weatherford Thursday and
went to McAlester yesterday
A reporter for the Chieftain called
on Senator Gore at the Davenport
home and found him enjoying the best
of health and in good spirit, as we'll
as duly proud of the splendid record
made by the democrats in both houses
of congress, during the extra session
just closed.
The senator said he thought the
house democrats made a great show
ing and had won the confidence oi
the people as to their sincerity of pur.
pose, and that while the democratic
senators being in the minority, We're
unable to accomplish as much as thos5
in the lower house, they acquitted
themselves with honors on all impu t
ant bills.
In speaking of the presidential pos
sibilities, Senator Gore said Chamr
c rk had mad. a great record an(
would make q splendid man for tht
presidency, but that he believed tha'
th: imbroglio with formec Governor
Folk, of Missouri, eliminated the
speaker as a possibility. He thinF!
Woodrow Wilson is the logical man
for the reason that he would carry tht
ful confidence Of the democrats, Wod!'
be popular with the more progresslv,
element of the republicans and woulC
catch the independent vote. The in
dependents will insist upon the seleC
tion Of lit man and as the democrat
have shown a disposition to selec
only efficient men, the senator believe
the democratic outlook for 1912,
indeed rosy.
Taft signed where he should hav
vetoed and vetoed where she shoul
have signed" said Senator Gore
when the Payne-Aldrich tariff wa
laid before him the president woul
have made bold stroke had he vetoe
that measure, but he signed it. Whe
the wool bill and other tariff measures
in line with the popular demand, wer
! passed and sent TO the president h
vetoed them; when he should hay
signed"
r In speaking of local affairs Senate
Gore said he did not believe that Co
e ernor Cruce is disposed to call sp,
, cial session. However the senate
f said that he thought a special sessio
q was needed and would be warranted
@ a bill were passed revising our revenu
system. He says it is his opinion thu

n and personal property to be taxed on

THEY DON'T TOLERATE
BAD MEN IN KANSAS

SALlNA, kas., Aug. "a. The
age OF chivalry is not past in Kan
sas, and every once in a while a
man gets what is coming to him
in a way that gives the people who
see it cause for rejoicing for many
months. Such an event happened
on the eastbound Missouri Pacific
passenger train just this side of
Herington.
For some time a rOugh-lOoking man
wearing clothes that indicated that
he was would-be cowboy. had
been passing through the train sing
ing Snatches of tenderloin song
that has been popular sometime
But on the third trip August Schultz,
of La Crosse, who was accompa-
MED by his wife. decided that the
time had arrived for him to take a
hand in the game. Turning to a
man sitting close to him he remark
ed:
If that fellow makes another trip
through the car singing that song
I'm going to knock him down"
Within a few minutes the singer
started down the aisle once more
Schultz got up slowly, took off his
coat and met the singer half way.
Don't you know that car filled
with women is no place for song
like that" he asked
No one heard the answer, for it
was hardly out of the speakers
mouth before Schultz struck him.
The wouldbe cowboy went to the
floor, and when he picked himself
up again, he met Schuttes fist a
second time and mixed with the pea
nut shells on the car floor. Once
more he picked himself up, only to
hit the floor harder than ever. This
time he decided that he might as
well stay where he was put and
made no attempt to get up.
Then, satisfied that his job was
finished. Schultz returned to his seat
put OH his coat and sat down with
his wife But the rest Of the time
he was busy shaking hands with
men on the car who wanted to COM
pliment him on his nerve, and ac-
cepting the thanks of 20 or more
women who were almost ready to
"HobsoniZe" him.
