Prosperity and Politics is the title
OF a little pamphlet, just out. written
by Mr.. Hermon w. Craven, OF this city.
II is packed full OF facts with which the
man who wishes to vote intellisently
should familiarize himself. II estab-
fishes absolutely. by records beyond the
suspicion Of party influence, that hard
times have been contemporaneous with
Democratic and good times with Re-
publican control. That these are con-
nected as cause and effect Is a concur
sion that any hearer will find II dim
cult to avoid The story IL told in lively
form. and its instructive details are
never permitted to become tedious.

The result Of the parliamentary elec-
lions In Great Britain was at no time
doubtful. One OF the features Of the
English system that strikes an Amer
lean as absurd 10 that the party In
power may take advantage Of any tenn
porary excitement or any special cir
cumstances that tell In Its favor TO or
der a dissolution and new election. A
a parliament may continue seven years,
this seems to diminish largely the ele-
ment of responsibility to the people.
The Salisbury government has been

be brought 10 a favorable termination.
II was foregone conclusion that an
election at such a time would result In
favor OF the party IN power. There has
been much dissatisfaction in England
over the Boer war; with reference to
the policy OF the government in its pre-
liminary negotiations with the South
African states. and the conduct OF the
war Itself But the feeling OF loyalty
runs high. and all else was sunk In the

We urge upon every Republican the
necessity Of registering for himself and
OF seeing that his neighbors and ac-
quaintances are registered. If you can
you can al least do this: and IL is no
insignificant service. King county

will help retain the prosperity that has
done 20 much for us and promises to
do so much more Every Republican
vote will count: but there can be no
vote where there il no registration.
Many OF those who have changed
residsnces are not aware that their
transfer to new district must be noted
on the registry books Knowing that
they voted at the spring election, or
having voted at recent primaries, they
are resting secure upon their fancied
rights. They must be reused and warn
ed. or they will md the polls closed to
them on November 9. No patriot can
AFFORD TO lose his vote this year. II IT

InGaIIs as an Advertls1ng Agent

John J. Ingalls,, Of Kansas, when a
member OF the United States Senate,
was betrayed into advertising a shay
ing soap through a joke.
A newspaper correspondent had
asked the Senator about the political
chances of Senator John Sherman III
the National Republican Convention
that nominated Harrison.
Wishing to eyade the question, The
Senator, after giving non-committal
reply, turned upon his questioner
and began to discuss particular
brand of shaving soap. He praised
it's qualities and declared that since
he had begun using it shaving hal
become pleasure.
The newspaper man, in the same
spirit. upon preparing his story for
publication, wrote: when asked
about the chances of John Sherman,
Senator ingalls, said"
Then followed all tue Senator had
sail about the particular sonp, and a
good deal more.
The soap people took it up, and in
all the magazines aud many OF the
daily papers appeared pictures Of In
goiiS IN various poses, engaged in
shaving himself, and beneath the
pictures his remarkable statement re.
garding the merits of the soap.
1T was not long before it became n
standing joke among members Of the
Senate that ingalls,, in addition to his
duties rs statesman, was engaged in
the advertising business.

been so much OF q Joke.

landlord about some repairs and re.

was q fussy little ex-college professor,
totally IMMERSED in the ways OF the
world, and he was imprudeut enough
to send word that he would have
the family eyicted and then called to
discuss it personally. He emerged
yelling murder, aud said that he had
first met Mrs Callahan, who told him
her husband would do him no harm,
upon the strength OF which he had
waited for his return. When Callahan
came in he promptly gave tho visitor
n beating. The old Irishmau and his
wife were both arrested, and 7 op-
poared for the defense. The ugly
feature Of the case was the alleged Of
fort Of the woman to lure her caller
into.a trap, but when put on the stand
she denied the landlords story i'm

warned him that her husband proposed
