Only 1861 votes were cast for the

is less than 10 per cent required by
State law. the organization no longer
exists. The only way that the names
of the nominees can be placed ON the

as has been the case with independent
candidates. The forfeit Of the fran

This Years Big Corn Crop.-Count-

at 7O,OO0,OO0 bushels, the supply avail
able at this date is 3,30S,000.O
bushels against 2,625, ,0O0,0 900 in 1911.
The present supply is 312,O0O,OOO
bushels in excess of any supply ever
known in the history of the Chicago
board of trade. The previous high
record in the seven surplus states was
1857, 100000 bushels in 1910, but 1t Is
now placed at 1,910,000,000 bushels
These seven states are Ohio, Indiana
Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and
Nebraska.
The present weather is ideal for
the curing of the corn crop, and II
is being husked and the movement
will increase from day to day from
this time forward.
With the closing of October came
a readjustment Of prices Of corn to
very nearly the new crop basis all
around Those who had expected a

ticipation of it had the actual corr
delivered to them and are now nurs-
ing some very substantial losses. The
merchandising demand went fiat, the
consumer evidently holding off in an.
ticipation of getting new corn much
cheaper. The weather has been sc
good that his anticipations have beer
entirely realized.
Some think that December will &c

there are holdings by large interest

THE voters Of oregon had an un-
usual proposition put up to them at the
recent election-nothing less than the
question whether five convicted muir
derers in the state penitentiary should
suffer the death penalty or not. Gov
West of Oregon has scruples against
the death penalty. He reprieved the
murderers for that reason. Dissatis-
faction with the reprieve was very
generally manifested. So an initiative
bin to abolish capital punishment was
submitted to the people. The voters
generally understood that If they pass,
ed the bill the convicted men would
not be executed and If they rejected
the bill they were voting directly for
the death of these persons. The vote
for hanging was, practically. two 70
one, and the governor, thus having the
matter taken off his conscience, sen
fenced them to hang on Dec. 13. Thls
Is certainly democracy In a Simon
pure, unadulterated state.

on me contrary, there Is an increase OF

tine cotton growing territory has never
turned out so large a yield as TINS
years within the period designated.
rom every viewpoint the western
states are proving satisfactory to cot
ton producers. The prospect Is that
the four states at that end will peat
the best record by about 100000 pales.
There are two opinions extant upon
the final crop outcome. One view is
that the six eastern states which thus
far are 1,635,000 bales behind last
year, are so late that much or the cot
ION has had to be picked as quickly as
possible without special attention 70

burden of operations into the period
following that covered by the report
under consideration. In that case we
should not know before December l,
when the sixth report Of the season
comes in, whether the view Is In ac-
cord with the facts or not, although
the last condition report for these
states makes 1t appear unlikely.
The other view holds that the cotton
is not there to be ginned, and that
at no time has the promise been such
as to warrant any large expectations
from Mississippi, Alabama and Geor-
eis The Carolinas are already 400,-
900 bales behind last years quota,

PROUD OF THE SHOWING.
Col. Roosevelt Says the Progressive
Party Has Come to Stay.

Theodore Roosevelt made a formal
statement last Monday bearing upon
the election and the future Of the Pro-
gressive party. In line with previous
expressions of his own, and of his coll
leagues, he reiterates that 'the Pro-
gressive party has come to stay" and
so far from being over, the battle has
just begun"
The statement follows:
Il congratulate the Progressives OF
the country-that is, I congratulate
those good men and women who, with
sincerity of purpose for the common
good, have had the vision to look into
the coming years and see what the
future demands from us.
What the Progressive party has
done since the theft of the Republican
organization by the Republican bosses
at Chicago last June, is literally unpar-
allied in the history Of free govern
ment worked under representative in
stitutions.
Three months have gone by since
the new Progressive party was found
ed. Without much money, without
any organization, against the wealth oi
the country, against the entire organ
lied political ability of the country
against the bitter hostility of ninety
per cent of the press of the country
against the furious opposition Of every
upholder of special privileges, whether
in politics or in business, and with the
channels of information to the public
largely choked-the Progressive party
has polled between four and four and
half million votes; has hopelessly
beaten one of the old parties. both in
the electoral college and in the popular
vote; has taken second place in the

vest, something on the order Of a

vest, something on the order Of a
mailed shirt Of the feudal ages. This
story was given the writer by a pro-
fessional man Of unimpeachable verac-
ity. His informant was a fellow
townsman of Wild Bill, when the fa-
nous scout was marshal Of Abilene.
Kan, and was considered wholly reli-
able. Undoubtedly a flexible leather
vest shingled with overlapping silver
quarters could stop A or As bullet,
but it Is a well-authenticated fact that
Wild Bill was desperately wounded by
both bullet and knife on several occa-
sions. The velocity Of the 44-4O-200
bullet fired from revolver Is approx
mately 1000 foot seconds and the
striking energy is about 500 foot
pounds. The 45-40-25O has velocity
of 925 foot seconds with a striking en-
ergy of about 472 pounds. These were
the most powerful pistol cartridges
known in Wild Bills day and the ones
then in general use, and while they
might not penetrate the silver-leather
combination, the writer for one, would
not covet the job of serving as back
stop for the magic vest. A bullet-proof
garment such as described would
weigh several pounds, and in addition
to being hot and cumbersome. would
impede and hamper the naturally free
and untrammeled movements of its
wearer. Wild Bill may have owned and
sometimes worn such garment as
partial protection against pistol or
knife wounds, but we believe the daunt-
less frontiersman depended largely on
his superior skill and alertness for his
seemingly mysterious immunity from
wounds by hand weapons. Wild Bits
philosophy was not unlike that OF
