breed new rye, wheat, barley, oats

LUTHER BURBANK.

Webster says: ut costs the Ameri-
can farmer more to feed his insect
foes than It does to educate his chill
dren." Walsh and Riley conservative
ly estimated the annual damage done
to crops by insects to be $500, 900, 900,
or about $50 for each farm. A recent
estimate by experts put the yearly
loss from forest insects depreciation
at not less than $l00,O00,000. The
common schools of the country cost
in 1902 the sum of $2S5, ,000.0 900, and
all higher institutions of learning cost
less than s5O.OOO.OOO. making the
total cost of education in the United
States considerable less than the
farmers lost from insect ravages.
Furthermore, the yearly losses
from insect ravages aggregate near
ly twice as much as it costs to main
tain our army and navy: more than
twice the loss by fire; twice the capt.

cultural implements; and nearly three
times the estimated value of the pro-

AS STUBS SEES 1T.
Governor Discusses Curtis Majority
and His Own Victory.

Intimating that Senator Curtis re-
ceived big part of his Vote from the
counties that gave Mayor Billiard q, ma
jority over Hodges and thus was IA
vcred with the resubmission support OF
this territory. Governor Stubs answer
ed a Curtis editorial from a Kansas
City newspaper in a statement today.
The governor stated that the old ma
Cline men of the state insisted on
nominating United States senator by
legislative districts and not by popular
vote and he made his campaign under
their law.
And the governor did not fail to men
ton that the Kansas City Journal was
owned by the Santa Fe railroad and
the Bell Telephone company.
The statement follows:
TN discussing the Republican NOM
ina ton for United States senator in
Kansas, the Kansas City Journal
paper published and managed by GER
tain stockholders and officers of the
Santa Fe railroad company and the
Bel Telephone company-makes The
following statement:
1T is an injustice and an insult to
the governor to assume that he would
take advantage of a legal technicality
to defeat the expressed will of the
people
THE above statement is deliberate
INSTRUMENTATION of the primary cleo
ton law, which states positively that
the nomination of a United States SEN
ator shall be made by legislative dis
tricts and not by popular vote. There
is no legal technicality whatever in
volVed in the nomination Of a United
States senator in Kansas by legis-
lative districts. 1t is Ihe only possible
way a senator can be nominated I'M
der the la and it is ridiculous and
childish for the corporation newspa-
pers and the machine politicians to
all 10, i
about the defeat of Curtis.
'tIt was the old machine crowd that
demanded the nomination of senators
by legislative districts and L have
made my campaign for the nomination
according to the methods and rules
which they have forced into the law.
Under that provision of the law I
have secured a majority of the votes
in 100 out of the 165 legislative districts;
anG also had majority vote in rs
counties out of the los counties in this
state.
IF the law had provided that a SEN
ator could be nominated by a majority
or plurality of the popular vote in
the state, my campaign would have
been made in an entirely different
way in the thickly populated counties
OF the state.
I'm Leavenworth, Atchison, Craw-
ford, Cherokee and Shawnee counties
where law enforcement had been the
paramount issue during my admin |
istration. Senator Curtis received 1857 |
more votes than / did
In these same counties, Mayor BfI-
lard, the resubmission candidate for |
governor, received nearly 1000 ma
iority over Hodges. In the remaining |
LOO counties in the state, my popular
over Curtis was approximate |
y 1000 votes
Il regard the defeat of Senator Cur
is as one of the greatest victories
lat has been won in Kansas for the
cause

live cheaper in their respective cities
than they can in Washington on the
