The Kansas Primaries

The result of the republican prim- to the new third party. Kansas is one of the states in which it was ex- pected that there would be a great de- velOpment of Roosevelt strength. With the exception of California there was no other where the Roosevelt senti- ment seemed to be so pronounced.
 In the primaries of last Tuesday, the candidates for the senatorial nom ination were United States Senator Governor w. R. Stubbs, the foremost of the progressives and the friend and supporter of Roosevelt and, believed to be the chief idol of the Kansans. Stubbs had the powerful support of the Kansas City star, of greater influ. ence in Kansas than any newspaper or than all other newspapers combined Curtis had the active and bitter op- position of this paper which attacked nun NlTulenlly OH HIS ItCOIu anu HI plored his defeat.
 The senatorial nomination in Kan sas is determined by legislative dis tricts of which there are 165. Ot these Stubbs secured a very small majority a mere margin while Curtis has probably secured popular ma- jorty in the state of from 4000 tC 5000. This is a result that has beer most astonishing to everybody. That Stubbs would sweep the state as with tornado was expected. Everything was apparently in his favor and ev- erything against Curtis
 It is utterly improba ble that Roose welt could make as good a showing a: Stubbs mainly for this reason: Stubb' is a republican and undoubtedly re ceived thousands of republican vote: which would be cast for no one but { republican. They could not therefore be cast for Roosevelt who has in dignantly repudiated republication Though Kansas is swayed by mood and the republicans frequently ant widely divide as to the proper form o republicanism, an overwhelming ma jority of it's citizens are republican

pretense of describing such bills as revenue measures, but boldly announce that their purpose is to stop specula- tion and otherwise control the hand ling of products by the elimination of modern methods of doing business
 All such anti-option legislation orig mates with the agricultural interests of the country, which is the more re- markable because that is the one class that is more directly and infallibly ben efited by speculation than any other If the great commercial exchanges of the country were compelled to aban- don their contract trading markets farmers would be forced to accept any price the consumers might elect to pay in years where large crops leave a sur plus over and above ordinary wants. The farmers overlook the fact that speculation is the principal competitor of the consumers, and the whole trend of speculative activity is to advance prices. The consumers entire policy is to secure their raw material at the lowest possible price, so that the spec ulator and the consumer are natural rivals and the producer invariably profits hv the rivalry.
 Were speculation confined merely to the employment of large capital for the purpose of artificially inflating or depressing values there might be some reason for the efforts to enact prOhi- bitive legislation, but the main pur- pose of the system of contract trading is to provide security to the trader and manufacturer and protection against undue price fluctuations. In this day of keen competition the exporter of spinners, must anticipate future wants. By the purchase or sale of cotton for future delivery both classes protect themselves against fluctuations in val ueS.
 AS the principal buyers of our cot ton are foreigners they would be given an enormous advantage in the regula ton of the prices they must pay us if we through blindness and ignorance close our own markets to speculation and contract trading while the great European speculative markets cOntin ue their operations unhampered. The net result would be to transfer to Liv- erpool Havre and other European centers the power to regulate the price of cotton, which the New York and New Orleans markets now enjoy.-New Orleans Picayune.

Canal Legislation

Whether or not. tbe administration of the Panama canal as proposed in the bill passed by the senate on Fri day night is opposed to the terms of the Hay -Pauncefote treaty, it has back of it the sentiment of the Ameri- can people who see in it justice. This government having built the canal and having undertaken the expense of maintaining it should allow itself privileges if it desires.
 So far as the American people themselves are concerned. there will be no advantage that we can see in l the exercise Of that privilege and there may be some disadvantage. It would certainly be disadvantageous to those of us who are not engaged in the shipping industry if much of the traf fife which the canal would otherwise attract should be diverted to other routes something that might easily be
 done if England should lower the tolls 1 of the Suez canal as has been sug- gested
 The exclusion of railroad controlled ships is a different matter. There is
 no treaty question involved in that provision. The advantage of that to
 all of us is so patent that we have
 been unable to understand the argu- ments which have been made against it. Without it, it would be within the 1 power of the transcOntinental roads
 engaged in shipping to destroy com petition.
 l There is, however, on behalf Of the people, which the people have gener- ally not considered, an argument against free tolls for American yes sels engaged in coastwise trading
 That itself is to some extent brake
 on competition.

The coloneI's Little Joke

The Kansas City Journal is too out even a rudimentary sense of hu- nor A few days ago, Colonel Roose- welt made public complaint to the people of the country that the news papers and the news agncies were against him; that he was not given space for the pFomulgatiOn of his constantly occurring theories for the salvation of the human race; that al together, there seemed to be a con- spiracy to keep him in the back ground The complaint, of course, really marked the colonel as the dry est and deepest joker of the age But 1he Journal was unable to see the joke. called the colonel a liar and then set out seriously to prove it.
 It pointed out that the overshadOw- ing feature of the news for months has been Roosevlt. His comings and gOings of the most inconsequential character have filled the front page and real news has been crowded out of the newspaper columns to give place To his Yaporings.
 The Associated Press has permitted itself to be burdened with his Outlook editorials, teeming with abuse of ev- erybody who is not for Roosevelt and with misrepresentation and lying of the most brazen character. The Jour nal shows that the newspapers, most of whom are opposed to the colonel have given publicity to his movements ad nauseam. With great solemnity it acquaints the world with a self-evi- dent fact, one that almost every news paper reader in the United States has frequently remarked. Everybody knew it, without being told by the Journal that the colonel has not been sup pressed and that there is not the slightest evidence of a conspiracy to bottle him up.
 How the colonel in the resful se- clusion of Oyster Bay must smile at the seriousness of the Journal We fancy We hear him exclaim, By George, this is the best thing of the campaign."

according to their various interpreta- tons of republication.
 That Stubbs was personally more popular than Curtis there was no where the slightest doubt and we dc not think that the election returns show that he actually is not The primary was a test of regularity rather than of popularity.
 According to all calculations and considering the sweep of progressive sentiment in that state, Stubbs should have had popular majority of many thousands By progressive senti- ment" we do not mean new party sentiment. While Stubbs was nomin- ally regular it may be believed that his friendliness for Roosevelt was his weakness.
 If that is so, how far short of his republican vote must be that of the colonel. the cause of his weakness next November.
 We are not unmindful of the eX- pectations of the leaders of the new party that they will secure many democratic votes in Kansas as well as elsewhere and we are not unmind- ful of the probability that their expec- tations will be in part realized. But there is no probability that the num- Der of democratic votes that will be cast for Col. Roosevelt vii equal the number of republican votes he will not get or even the number of republican votes that were cast for Stubbs that he will not get
