2 v THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27. WW. 1 H I 1 Slump in Wheat Unnatural, Says , Kansas Report (ruvoriior Allen Finds Price Drop Due to Manipulations In Fu turps ami Free Canada Grain. . Topcka, Kan., Oct. 26.- Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansae tonight turned ovrr the material he had gathered nhowing the alleged cause tnt the drop in the wheat market to (i. A. Stephens, upecial agent oT the federal trade cnininiMion, who came here to connult the governor in re lation to the investigation of the Chi cago Heard of Trade. A Matemnit of what the material contain iued from the governor's wmre,,ayi: "The governor turned over con siderable material that has been col lected showing that the drop in vheat was unnatural and doubtless (be result of manipulation in wheat futures, together with the use made of the free wheat front Canada. "An investigation ot the stocks of wheat on hand at Chicago, Minne apolis and Kansas City, the con trolling wheat markets, shows that there has been a gradual reduction in the amount of wheat at these terminal markets during the months of July, August and September and, while the statements for October Uow a-slight increase over Sep Nember it Is very much below the reserve on hand July 1. "For instance, on July 1, the' total Mock of wheat at Chicago, Minne apolis and Kansas. City was 8.518. "86 bushels; August 2, 3.791,104 bushels; September 4, 3.757,000 bushels; October 1, 977,715 bushels. While wheat had taken a tumble of ?1 per bushel there was a reduction in the stock qu hand of 4.500,000 bushels. ' . "Surely'irt the face of these facts no irttell'getit man will contend it was the law of supply and demand, because the price reduced while the tock was decreasing". G. 0.

"When the wise and unselfish men bid the foundation for vtbta. United State of America indicated the fu urc for ut, they welt knew that is sues of the moment would change; they well knew that each genera tion would face new-problems. As they kncvV the courses of history, as they knew the record of change and progress tram the past, they foresaw the changes and the progress that mutt come with the future. . When they shaped a document for the in tpiratiou cf their fellow patriots and for the guidance of the nation, they left the way oncn for such growth and such adoption of .new devices as the exigencies ot time would demand. But they created , and left for us, their descendants,. n instrument which was soundlyr constructed, and which was calculated as the basis tor the permanent structure of liber ty in our land. "It is the continuous problem of government to adapt ourselves to new needs, but never to undermine the foundations oiree government. The shores of hirtory are strewn with the wreckage of republics which fell before the ambitions of srlfish despots, or which disinte grated beneath the blight of an un wise personal exaltation. -, .

"Our own government can con tinue only upon the basis upon which it is buiju -and we can see through the worW aud particularly we can see it at this pime, the penal ty exacted from those who let un trained and "unthinking desires stampede the people from paths f anity. and those who would falsely in the betrayefl name of freedom substitute a personal dictatorship tor a governmeat of, by, and for the people.

For con ftitutionat' government once des troyed, cannot be easily replaced. Formings of disaster must be heeded lest they are succeeded by a cancer ous and fatal growth beyond the reaches of cure. O.

"Th1 repuhhon party demands correction of all the ills which have been bred in tha false doctrines of extra-constitutional government; it demands removal of burdens placed upon the people through disregard of the sane functions of government, functions which must be .directed with wisdom and encompassed wttfc thrift. . "The world war lias been ended for tw&v years; yet the burdens o that war rest heavily upon the shoulders of the American people. Waste, which mav be viewed with tolera tion under the stress of haste of ward cannot so be regarded in times or peace. We are at peace. The tech nicalities of the situation do not re move the fact that we have no war with any land, rot. do they alleviate the injury done the American people during the past two years and before the war, under (he administration of the executive department of the rov .niment by the democratic party. Re tention in government employ of vast numbers of employes, the oc casion for whose employment; has passed; retention of taxes, devised for emergencies, beyond the period of their initiation, and- their neces sity these extravagancies,;couplcd with such inefficiency as has been manifested in our postoffice depart ment, such failure of co-operation as investigations, have disclosed in the Navy department, Such injustices as have marred the 'War department, have aroused the people to an indig nation which ran onlv be satisfied by discharging those servants who have uccu uutaiwijiui ait vi uiswiuhpik ' the polls, those who would palliate their offenses and whoHvpuld con tinue them.

Peace is the normal state of man. to he abandoned only under great pres sure; to be resought with diligence and to be maintained with sincerity So in the time of peace we need statesmanship and ' we need- al legiance to our national "foundation, our constitution, first that peace may endure and second that we may as a people prosper: ; ' The republican party has always furthered, by sound means, the pros perity of our country.- It will do po now. .The republican party, by its wise tariff policy, built an industrial America, which is one of the won ders of the history.

It is the, Americanism of the American constitution, the be lief that our government should ful fill the, guaranties of our declaration of independence, tha life,, liberty and the pursuit of happiness should be as much in the mind of modern statesmen as they were in the minds of the pioneers of American liberty. "There is but one ark upon which our national faith may rest secure. It is our constitution.
