The record of disasters for 1903 shows
that tho year was proline of death deal
ing afeldents. According to the tnble.
prepared by the Chicago Tribune, 1,93:
persons mot donth in wrecks on lake
and rivers. Moro than 1,000 perished
in railroad disasters, and more thru:
5,000 were seriously Injured in tho same
way. Tho victims claimed by railroads
lar outnumber those of any proviom
year, though much of the increaso Is
duo to tho enormous Increaso of trol
ley ear travel.
Tho farm value or the crops of corn
wheat, rye, oats, hny, barley, potatoes,
llnx seed, buckwheat and tobaccc
raised this year is estimated at. $2,500,
000,000 by tho bureau of statistics ol
tho department of agriculture. To that
Kreat sum may properly bo added about
$700,000,000 for I ho value of tho cotton
crop. This la nn amazing aggregation
of "quick assets," which can bo turned
into money whenever it is needed, it
is a gigantic pile of commodities which
nro needed abroad as well as ai homo.
An eastern honso has recently added
ytwo volumes to tho published writing
and speeches by Daniel Webster. This
makes 14 volumes of Webster's works
that havo been issued by this house.
Thoso 11 volumes constitute one of the
noblest monuments over oreeted to the
memory of a great orator. Indeed, it
is doubtful If so much and such varied
Avisdom and so much lofty and lumi
nous oloquenco are to be found In the
speeches of any other statesman ex
cept Edmund Burke. Like Burke, Web
ster had a wonderful command of the
English langunge.
V. C. Ponfleld, onco a resident of Bo
Kota, gives In tho Saturday Post a
curious account of Columbia and its
make-bollevo government. In his re
cent message to congress President
Roosevelt gave a list of 10-odd revolu
tions which havo taken placo in Co
lombia during the past 00 years. Mr.
Ponfleld says that In Bogota "generals"
are so plentiful that the colonels of
Kentucky wear an appearance of most
desolate loneliness when plnced In
comparison. When Colombinas have
nothing else to do they go out aud
itart a revolution. '

Topeka, Kan., Jan. 31. Gov. Bailey
withdrew from the gubernatorial race
Saturday afternoon, Issuing the fol
lowing personal statement:
"To the Republicans of Kansas: It
Is apparent to all that tho bitter fac
tional fight that Is now going on In the
republican party In Kansas Is a menaco
to republican success. I have believed
and now feel that under the traditions
of the party I am entitled to a re

GOV. V. J. BAILEY.
a day In my political life when tho
pnrty's weiraro was not paramount to
my personal ambition. I feel that for
me to longer continue tho contest will
make wider the breach now too great
within tho party. I therefore by this
public statement withdraw from the
gubernatorial race. x
"To the republicans In the counties
that have instructed Tor me and to tho
thousands of loyal frlonds over the
stato who would go with me to defeat
If necessary I take this occasion to
thank thorn Trom tho bottom of my
heart for their confidence and support
and I promise them that my future
shall be so ordered that they will havo
no cause to regret that they havo been
my friends."
Stiklonu-nt hy K. W. Hnch.
Marlon, Kan. Feb. 1. The present
contest inside the republican party Is
a contest between methods and not a
contest between men. It is Impersonal.
It relates to party management and
stato policies, and not to Individuals.
Candidates are mere incidents. They
are comparatively unimportant. The
withdrawal of Mr. Bailey, therefore,
does not settle tho issues involved.
This movement cannot triumph In tho
selection of a candidate alone. The
promulgation of party principles and
tho control of party machinery by those
in sympathy with this movement must
bo complete to give it fairest and
fullest expression. When the victory
Is thus crystallized the greatest possible
kindness and generosity should be
shown to those who have opposed the
movement, but till then there must be
no concession of effort to change the
policies complained of. Personally I
havo everywhere urged my friends to
say no unkind thing of Mr. Bailey,
nnd in all my speeches and letters I
havo carefully refrained from personal
criticism. But his withdrawal leaves
tho Issue as before, and the friends of
this movement should not relax vigi
lance or effort until tho ntato conven
tion has registered their will as to can
didates. Let only delegates In real
sympathy with the reforms this move
ment represents be sent from various
counties to tho state convention.
