INGALLS, Is WRONG.

Ex-senator Ingalls, should know more
about politics than most mon who call
themselves politicians. He has been
before the people as a candidate for
office, has represented his constituents
in one way or another and finally has
been rolled through the tanning mill
and turned aside by the people OF Kan
sas. If experience a assist in stor-
ing away knowledge into a keen,
penetrative and active mind Ingalls,
should know something about politics.
This is what he says:
EVERY man ought to be a politician, and
every woman az xell, and tho only reason
why woman hasn't the suffrage is because
she doesn't want 1t. Every man ought to
be a partisan politician. This may perhaps
seem strange to you, coming from me. who
have never even been suspected of PARTISAN
ship. I havs never learned the art of be-
longing to a party q little. If a party is
worth belonging to at all it is worth bs-
longing to a good deal and all the time. I
have no sympathy with those mon that are
greater and better than party-who stand
upon tho corners of the street, blowing the
horn and calling attention to their own
perfection. and thanking God that they are
not az other men, evon AZ these republicans
or democrats. As for myself. nextto q stall

GRAFT"
1t occnrs to us that ingalls, makes
what Is professionally known as a "gal-
lery play" when he states that if a party
is worth belonging to at all it is worth
belonging to a good deal and all the
time. He knows better than this. No
party is worth belonging to all the time
when there is a better party. The
average voter in this country is beoom-
ing a more independent sort of fellow
when he walks up to the polls and drops
in the white ballot which is to express
his views on public matters. He is more
given TO the study of issues which will
effect his personal interests and these
touch him in a very sensitive point.
The vote in Kansas that resulted in the
retirement Of MI. ingalls, is pretty good
evidence of this change Of sentiment.
a Soou many 1opuOllCau6 LA OA0s 5VdU0
did not think the republican party was
worth belonging to all the time, though
they may vote that ticket again next
year. Like Senator Ingalls,, we all like
to see the warmest enthusiasm in a
man when he works for his party, but
we also admire the man who will assert
MS independence at the polls. This
class of men is growing in a way to
alarm the old party leaders who still
pin their faith to the crack of the old
time whip. The party that u this
vote hereafter will win, but it must be
right on popular questions. The direc-
ton in which the independent vote
slumped in the last two elections would
indicate that the democratic party is
we'll regarded by these Independents.

HEAVY TONNAGE.
Large Number of Ships in Frisco Hsrbo or
Rates Down.

Large Number of Ships in Frisco Harb or
Rates Down.
SAN Francisco, Nov. 8.-Shipping men
and wheat operators state that mover in the
history of San Francisco has there been
such a large amount of tonnage in port
under charter at any ono time. Until yes
terday ~sixty-nine vessels with a registered
tonnage of 115, 600 tons were in port under
charter, while nine other vessels of an ag-
gregate of $4,000 tons are disengagsd and
available for wheat carrying. The actual
carrying capacity of all these vessels is
$780, 900 tons. Fifty-eight vessels were char
tered to arrive here, chartefsrs agreeing to
pay as high rs forty-ive shillings a ton to
the United Kingdom. Havre or Antwerp,
and very few engagements were made at
less than forty shillings, but thirty-tvs to
thirty-seven shillings is the highest rate
talked of at present. Spectators will have
to forfeit charters and recharter vessels at
heavy loss or load them with wheat which
at present rates in Liverpool would have to
be sold at an equally heavy loss. It isfre-
ported that prominent dealers stand about
S15O,OO0 either way. Operators estimate
that the crop of the Pacific coast states.
Idaho and Utah for this year will yield
about 857, 900 tons available for export.

Forests and Rain.

Among the forestry students there are
some who believe that forests tend te
equalize the rainfall, making the down.
fall regular through the whole year.
when the land is denuded of its forest
coverings rain falls more furiously and
then drouths follow. There is anothe,
class who believe that rain falls at al,
only because of forests, and when they
are removed country becomes an arid
waste. The British Government has re.
Gently issued statistics of the meteroloey
of British Guiana. The country, com.
paratively speaking, may be styled vast
forest; and when we learn that the
enormous rainfall of SAT- is the mean OF
number of years, and that in the year
1889 as much as 1913. inches fell, it will
be seen that one of the classes of students
cited may take great comfort. But when
we read further and find that 1T only
took eleven days-to pour down this flood !,
and that for 354 days out of the 365 the
sun shonc steadily and brightly, it will
be difficult to decide which side of the
forestry argument has the best of it
