Political independence.

All over the country the feeling of
political independence. the disgust with
bosses, the intolerance of cut and
dried politics. stirs and grows. 1t is
seen even in the southern states. where
new men. fresh from the people. are
driving out the old holders of the
seats OF honor. In the west it is al
most universal In New England it is
seen in the great Democratic vote in
Maine. in the Clement movement in

WITH THE EDITORS.
The Habit of Haste.

The Cleveland Leader noting the
death of a prominent citizen who
alghted from a moving car instead of
waiting until it got TO a crossing to
stop. says that haste and death are
allied; and that while the street car
or railroad company is often to blame.
an important factor is the desire Of
the victim to do something in a hur-
ry. 1t continues:
In the railroad depots a man burden
ed with coat, grip and umbrella will
dash blindly and madly in front of
engines, to the rear of trains and be-
tween cars to reach his particular des-
tination. If a trainman interferes to
prevent the passenger from throwing
his life away, objurgations and cpl
thets are hurled broadcast at the Good
Samaritan and the officials OF the road
may perhaps hear of the accident
through the medium of a complaint. It
is a mental condition that must be
overcome before such a degree of safe
.ty can be obtained as an enlightened
country should provide. The only hope
lies in creating a sentiment among
all the people that life and health are
of infinitely more Importance than the
three or four minutes that elapse be
tween street cars, or the few hours
delay necessary by the missing of d
train.

Here's Where You Get the Real Thing
A regular storm period covers the
10th to the goth. In all probability this
will prove one of the most severe to
dangerous storm periods of this month
of not the whole autumn. Tropical
storms. with high temperature and

Slight falling off in price, but all indi-
cations point to still lower figures. The
only feature that is favorable from the
shippers and producers point of view,
is the fact that up to date not over
one-third as many eggs have gone into

ago. In round numbers there are now
probably not over 10000 cases in cool

ably accountable for the fact that the

Presumably he had expected something
more in the way of distribution of
profits to stockholders, while the policy
has been rather to upbuild the property.
Spencer was large man, of quick
demeanor, of the type Of man who can
carry a million bushels of wheat with
the market going against him, and lose
nothing of outward complacency.
When David r. Francis was here, last
fall, he said, in speaking of the promi-
nent men of, St. Louis, that Corwin
Spencer was one of the ablest, and he
thought, at that time, rich enough to
be classed with the big ones. Mr..
Francis put the rich men of st. Louis
into three general groups. Adolphus
Busch, the brewer, he put first. No one
in st. Louis has a fortune approximate
ing that of Mr. Busch, who stands
alone. In the second class he put five
other prominent men, and in the first
few names Of the third class was Spen-
Ger. So at that time Spencer was
classed sixth or seventh, which means
that he was considered very rich, for
there are some large fortunes in St
Louis. How much he made or lost
since then is unknown, but the gossip
had him bull in the stock market
and long considerable line Of stocks

disappointment to dealers, tho it seems
perfectly natural that with the situa-
tion SO uncertain as it is at present
there should not be much demand for
bonds. During the past week there has
been some increase in activity in the
market, but largely at the expense Of
values. There has been more or less
liquidation by the fire insurance COM
panies. One large GO company nJ is estimated
