Although there are not yet enough ears to move all the wheat, and many ears promised by the Interstate Com* merce Commission have not arrived, and railroad officials gird unable to give any definite assuarauce as to when they will arrive, the car shortage Is not so desperate now a* it has been in past years. Officials of the state J>pard of agri culture estimate that there are still stored on Kansas farms 22.000.000 bush els of last year's wheat efoy, and au additional $.000,000 bushels of last years' wheat In Kansas elevators. A perceptible movement of this "hold over crop" is now reported by the state board of agriculture. There remains, however, the vastly greater .problem of moving this year's uMietff .civ ut variously estimated at 110,000.000 to 135,000,000 bushels of the great milling and export centers. Hankers are vitally eonoomed in the wheat movement problem. According to ,T. It. Anppaugh, secretary of the Kansas State Bankers' "association bankers have $05,000,000 tied up 111 loans on crops which await marketing. Many of these loans are long overdue, and the prospects tfre that the amount involved in crop loans will easily reach $100,000,000 with tlie Ripening of the present wbeat crop. Some belief has been obtained, Mr. Anspaugli said,, from the recent an-< ?iiouncment of the Federal Reserve Board that it favored extension of crop loans, and the fact that Federal Re serve banks had been authorized to accept wheat paper from member banks or from other banks ^through corres pondents. ~ Senator Dial on Saturday wrote the fdMowhig letter to the interstate "Com merce conrmlssloh relative lO the eoaj situation^ "I have Just been Informed today tliat tihere are miles of coal cars in and around Philadelphia loaded with coal held *>y speculators, I consider this simply an outrage and strongly urge and beg you to have these cars unloaded so they can be put back In use.

Unquestionably ?his retirement Is in consequence of his record In Congress in war and recon struction. Mr. Gore in later years man ifested a degree of unstabMty that practically wrecked his prestige. Orig inally a Populist, ho was elected as a Democrat and for a long time fel lowshipped consistently with the mem bers of thafr'party. In later years his record of votes covered almost all po-; sltlons a Senator could take. It might be called a record of eccentricities. Opre had a strong sympathetic hold an the sentiments of the people and ? was one of the most popular figures In the -political campaigns ? In Oklahoma. Blections by large? even overwhelming ? majorities characterized his successes and at times there was no opposition to hdm.
