rhRorrLlNa FREE SPEECH.

When tho dispatchs stated that Con-
rressman Volstoad had been successful
In contesting the nomination previously
awarded TO Mr.. Kvale--pronunciatio
gnaranteed--and had been certified AZ
the the nominee, the grounds of the
contest we're not explained. II now
comes to light, however, that the charge
was one of violating the state corrupt
practices act. And. strangely enough.
this violation consisted Of Mr.. Kvale's
saying undiplomatic things about his.
opponent, Mr.. Volstead.
The accusation brought by Mr.. Kvale
against Mr.. Volstead was that the lat
ter is an atheist. Mr., Kvale, who Is
a preacher. doubtless finds II easy. SC.
aChns IKE. to number one who follows
not u.s. among the lost. But Mr.. Vol
stead denied the allegation ana defled
the allegator--by contesting his noml-
nation. The sequel seems to have been
that the courts held that a laughing re-
mark of Mr.. Volstead about one OF Mr..
I<vale's sermons on the i've loaves and
two fishes did not justify the latter's
ciasaication. Mr.. Kvale took the count.
This decision, while II may be the law
IN Minnesota, strikes a vicious blow at
enc OF our reserved rights. II we are

our FOREIGN TRADE.

Statistics OF our foreign trade indi-
cate that, notwithstanding the confu-
sion incident to the prolongation Of
minor wars, the situation in Europe Is
making a nearer approach to normal.
Exports from this country for the year
ending June 30-Ss, Ill, 900, 000-were the
greatest In history. But while selling
this immense bin we also smashed all
records in imports by running up the
figures Of foreign purchases to $685.
746,bS0. leaving a favorable trade bal
ance OF $2,S72, 000.0 900. The year before,
II was more than $4,000, 100000 in our
favor.
During June, the gap between ex-
pcrts and imports was perceptibly mar
rnwed, putting the favorable balance at
only SIS, 100000. This was due, how
over, more TO big gain in imports than
10 reduction Of exports, total figures for
exports for the month being 1891. 900, 900
against imports of $3.50, 900. 900. The
months imports established a new high
high record. going sso.ooo.ooo above the
March total. AS before intimated, the
rapid increase Of imports indicates that
European production is gradually being
restored. but, of course. not nearly all
a. our imports come from Europe.
That imports should more nearly
equal exports is by no means an UNI
wholesome indication. Large balances
In our favor merely mean. for the most
part, an extension OF credit. And credit
has already been considerably strained.
Increases OF imports, however, signify
that Europe is more nearly paying her
way. While probably every American
would like to see his country selling
mere abroad than II purchases, paper
adjustments Of balances are not much
comfort. There Is hardly doubt that
lest years export record would have
gone considerably higher IL the for
eigner had had the wherewithal to buy.
In its last analysis the situation sug-
Eests that Europe must produce or per-
ish. This lesson is coming home to her
and she 10 getting busy on the job.

President Post, OF the National Sugar
Refining company, figures out--on paper
that we have plenty OF sugar and will
probably carry over surplus into the
now year. This iutellgenco Is COM
forting. though not 80 satisfying ms the
sugar would be, The estimates, more
over. are also based largely on hypo-
thesis, II we yet az much sugar from
other sources as MIR, Post thinks we
win ret, and II Cuba Will not sell cx-
cotding certain calculated tonnage to
other foreign countries, then maybe we
shall have more than we now have.
MIR. Post places Cuha's sugar pro-
duction at $500, 900 tons. OF this. he
thinks 100000 tons will be consumed
at home and SOC 900 sold 10 other coun-
tries than this. Last year those other
countries took 1881, 500 tons, The fore
going showing. however, makes AGO.
0o0 tons available for this country To
tins. Mir. Post adds 600 tons OF beet
sugar carried over from last year, 400
0o0 tons of tho new beet crop, 200, 900
tons Of Louisiana sugar 400 oo0 tons
from Porto Rico. 800 600 from Hawaii
and a50.000 tons from several other
miscellaneous sources
All Of the foregoing items combined
Diake total OF 1900. 600 tons. OF this
amount, MIR Post estimates exports
from this country az 500 600 tons, loav-
iLg for American consumption 1900,
coo, Last year. we used a,SO0. 600 tons.
This all listens good and looks well on
paper that is, IL you can forget. for the
moment, that sugar Is selling In the
bargain stores at 20 cents a pound, That
ef'imated surplus ought In all good
conscience, to matcrialixe, II N not
likely that the amount consumed this
year win reach last years total. The
sugar couldn't be had TO consume.

Kansas Farmers Burn Corn as Sub.
stitute for $3.50 Ton Coal.

Topeka, Kas., Nov. 15.-Former
State Senator Robert S. Hendricks
of Atwood and State Standardized
Frank p Melvor, were in consulta-
ton with Governor Allen Monday
over the fuel situation in northwest
ern Kansas where many farmers are
Turning corn as substitute for coal
Hendricks, who has been a Demo-
cratic leader and prominent banker
and farmer in the northwestern part
of the state for many years, told the
governor that Colorado coal that IS
sold in Topeka for $3.50 ton is be-
ing sold in Atwood at $3.50 ton.
despite the fact that Atwood has a
cheaper freight rate than Topeka.
But this is not the worst part oil
the situation" he said, the people
are unable to get coal, even at the
high price and as a result many far
mers are burning corn. 1t is fact
that corn at its present price is
cheaper fuel than coal at $3.50 a
ton but l do not believe there would
be MANY persons who would burn
corn if they could get coal"
Senator McIvor said that the con-
dition Hendricks reports in Rawlins
county is reported in surrounding
counties, and both told the governor
that the bankers and business men
are becoming alarmed at the pros
pect of farmers taking to burning
their crops for fuel on large scale.

hops and malt to others than bakers

rounded the Prohibition Bureaus ac-

GERMANY CAN'T GET nv
France "Unalterably Oppossd" +
Z. Admission to League. NV

Paris, Nov. I2.-The French gov.
eminent, is unalterably opposed II
the admission of Germany to the
League of Nations at this time, il
was stated at the foreign office to-
day. Some drastic action" would
be a consequence if the league voted
to admit Germany, it was intimated.
The foreign office said there had
been conversations with Great Brit
ain on the subject, and that the Brit
ish, who had been inclined to favor
German membership in the league,
now had accepted the French view
point, allowing the matter to rest for
the present.
lnasmuch as Germany has not APP
Piled for league membership, it is
considered unlikely there will be any
effort to promise of success to get
the assembly at Geneva to act favor
ably on the question of Germany's
admission at this time.
The French hold that Germany
must prove her intention to fulfill
the terms of the peace treaty and live
peaceably with her neighbors before
seeking memberships, and they con-
tend there has not yet been time for
them to become convinced regarding
Germany's attitude along these lines.
Discussing the admission of enemy
countries to the League Of Nations,
the Echo de Paris says that Great
Britain has, so far as Germany is
concerned, made formal promise
not to favor the removal Of, the in
terdict against that country for the
time being. Georges Leygues the
French premier, is declared by the
to have recommended that
French delegates at the meeting of
he assembly of the league at Ge-
,eva Withdraw if Germany is admit
ed over the protest of France.
"As for Austria and Bulgaria" the
newspaper adds, zone is inclined to
axe toward them more lenient aat-
itude, in view of conditions"
