PROHIBITION QUESTION
ELIMINATED.

Mr.. Ousley announces his support
OF Tom Ball. 1t was the natural and
almost inevitable thing for him to do.
Mr.. Ball practically adopted Mr.. Gus
ley's contentious as to land and mar
keting; in fact, we would-were we
that sort--place wager that Mr.. Gus.
ley wrote that portion of Mr.. Balls
opening address. Their only differ
ence is on the question of prohibition,
and Mr.. Ball is for submitting that
question to the people at the ballot
box.--Waco Times-Herald.
The only difference in the world
there is between them on the question
of prohibition, is that Colonel Ball
wants prohibition and Mr.. Ousley does
not. AS to the manner in which pro-
hibition must come, Colonel Ball is
precisely in line with Mr. Ousley and
all other ants. The Galveston News
in its review of Colonel Balls Green.
vile speech says There is nothing
in his position on the question of pro-
hibition to which an anti-prohibitionist
could object, nor is there anything
in 1t which should discomfort a prohi.
bitionist. The effect of it is to elimi-
nate the prohibition issue from the
contest for Governor, and that is as
it should be-"
Colonel Ball is opposed to National
prohibition. He is opposed to statu.
tory Statewide prohibition. He is OPP
posed to the five and ten mile kind
of prohibition. In other words, Colonel
Ball wants the question of submission
voted on in the July primary, and
that's all he does want. If it carries
he will have the Legislature submit
it to the people in the form of a
constitutional amendment If it does
not carry, he will take it the people

A DECADE OF AMERICAN
COMMERCE WITH PANAMA
Department Of Commerce at Washing.
ton Issues Trade State n1ent.

Washington, April 24.-An indica.
ton of the stimulation of trade and
industry in the Republic of Panama
and the Canal Zone in the brief period
since the United States began work
on the Panama Canal is contained in
recent figures compiled by the Bureau
of Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
Department OF Commerce. They show
that over 40 million dollars worth
of American merchandise has been
exported to Panama and the Canal
Zone during the last ten years, and
that "a million dollars worth of prod.
ucts of Panama entered the United
States during the same period.
The record of our trade with Pana.
ma begins with 1904. In that year
our exports to the Isthmian Republic
were valued at about 2l5 million dol
lars. In 1907, the year in which active
canal building operations began, the
total rose to Is 2.3 million, and in
1912 and 1913, respectively, the ex.
ports were only little under % mil
lion dollars in value. the crest of the
movement having been reached in
1912. Our exports to Panama thus in
creased nearly tenfold in ten years,
while imports from that country
steadily grew, though at a much
slower rate. from less than million
dollars in 1904 and 1905 to a little less
than ) million dollars last year
That this remarkable expansion of
our export trade with Panama was
largely due to purchases of supplies
for canal construction and commits
sary is apparent from a comparison
of our own figures with the CORE.
spending import statements OF the
Panaman government. The latter in.
dictated for 1912 only SO million dol
lars worth of imports from the United
States and Az million from other
countries, an aggregate importation of
10 million dollars in value, or less
than one-half the declared value of
our known exports to Panama.
Additional evidence that the goods
shipped to Panama from this country
were incidental TO the requirements
of canal construction is developed by
a study of the character OF the arti.
Giles making up the trade in question.
The largest items contributing to the
"a million dollars worth of our prod
ucts shipped to Panama last year and
Of the 40 million dollars worth sent
thither during the last decade are
structural iron and steel, cement,
dynamite, electrical machinery, mis-.
cellaneous iron and steel goods, coal
-four and meats.
During the past ten years the
United States has exported to Panama
million dollars worth of cement to
be used in concrete work on the Canal
Zone, 8 million dollars worth of BIZ
luminous coal, nearly million dol
lars worth of board and panks, 6R
million dollars worth of structural
iron and steel, Az million dollars
worth of -four, and 3 million dollars
worth Of fresh beef. A single year
showed record OF 2R million dol
lars worth of structural iron and steel
and over l million dollars worth each
of electrical machinery, castings and
coal; also considerable quantities of
cotton goods, patent and proprietary
medicines, earthen, stone, china and

NEED FUNDS TO
REPAIR ALAMO
II Is Proposed to Raise the Funds by
Charging an Admission Fee
to Enter.

San Antonio, Tex, April 24.-If the
Daughters of the Republic of Texas
have legal authority therefor an ad.
mission fee of 25 cents for men and 10
cents for children hereafter will be
charged for entrance to the Alamo.
The recommendation was made by the
executive committee and adopted by
the twenty-third convention in session
here. The reason for the step being
taken is because of the expense OF
maintenance far exceeding the income
of the association.
II had been brought to the atten.
ton OF the executive committee that
work for preservation of the chapel
will soon have to be undertaken, the
roof Of the dark room" Is threaten.
ing to fall, and some OF the arches
need bracing. This work will have
to be undertaken at the expense OF
the daughters and. unless they make
privite subscriptions, as was done at
the time the property was cleaned up
recently, there will be no money to
effect the repairs.
Judge ]. E. Webb, when called upon
for his opinion of the step. said that
unless there was some clause In the
deed made by the Catholic Church to
the State of Texas which was pro.
hibitory, he saw nothing against the
legality of the step. He. however.
said he would inquire into the matter
carefully. The need for money for
maintenance was urgent he said. The
building needs repairs. There is need
at times for a special officer at the
building in addition to the custodian
to prevent DETACHMENT and vandalism
in carrying away souvenirs.

And of how near came to tears.)

MORE OIL REVENUE.
State Office Melted Kansas $66,347 In
Last Year.

The state oil inspectors office net
ted the state 6,347.82 for the fiscal
year ended July I. The amount net
ted to the state was an increase of
$17,633.5S over the earnings OF the
office for the year ending July 1, 1913,
when the annual report showed q total
earning to the state of $48,714.24.
Increases in the earnings of the oil
inspection department are due not SO
much to the increased amount. of oil
and gasoline inspected in the state, as
from the .cw method Of handling the
work Of the department. Under the
old system; 135 deputy oil inspectors
found places on the states pay roll. In
1913 the legislature changed the law
and the work of the department is
handled by six men and q lady stenog-
rapher. The benefits Of the change in
the system is shown in the years re-
port filed with w. E. Davis. state

DO You KNOW

my opponent, who is seeking reelection a.
Probate Judge, has repudiated the promise
he made to the voters Of Shawnee County In
the campaign two years ago?
he has retained fees that were paid to him
by virtue Of his being Probate Judge, i'm
stead Of turning them into the County
Treasurer?
he increased the fee for performing mar
riage ceremony from $3.50 to $500, and
that every marriage fee that has been paid
him since he became Probate Judge has
gone into his own pocket and not to the
County - sgsssv - -
the number Of marriage ceremonies per-
formed each year by the Probate Judge is
estimated at $50 and that from this source
alone the present Probate Judge has an esti-
mated income Of $3.50 per year in addition
to his fixed salary Of $4,000 year?
during his campaign two years ago he stated
that the Probate Judge collected $10,500 q
year in fees and that the clerk hire In the
office amounted to less than 81 800 year,
and despite these statements the office, ac-
cording to the reports filed by the judge
himself, is now barely paying expenses?
the present Probate Judge by his campaign
statements of two years ago either wifuIly
misled the voters or he is Open to severe
criticism in his management Of the office?
the Commissioners called upon the present
Probate Judge to waive any technical claim
to fees in the Juvenile Court and that for
more than year he lodged and evaded and
refused to waive any claim to these feeD over
