NO PARTIES IN CITY RULE

The enforced union of the two
parties in the late Milwaukee
municipal election in order to
beat the socialists, may draw
after it this useful consequence,
quite apart from the question
whether or not the defeat of the
socialists be an advantage,
viz; it may furnish and excellent
example of the wisdom of the
non. partisan choice of officials
for city government-the only
test being, the best men for the
offices!
The people who pay the
Doodle fiddler will some day re-
alize that the same sound rules
Of business they follow in their
private affairs, should also be
followed in public affairs. Ger.
tainly, all sensible people admit
that blind partisanship in
municipal elections, is a very
costly folly, and more are COM
ing to understand that this is
likewise true of state govern
ments.

these possible future uses Of the

it would seem that a further diff

measure the present damages,
because Of the uncertainty as to
those future uses to which this

This uncertainty would appear

nEMnCRACY TAFT'S Ally

Tn one remarkable respect the
present campaign is without a
precedent in our political history
viz. the persistent interference
of Democratic newspapers in the
Republican presidential nomlna-
ton contest. No misrepresenta'
ton, no lies out of the whole
cloth, nor downright abuse OF
Roosevelt, is too gross for thelr
partisan use. One might think
that Roosevelt had been named
as the Republican candidate and
that the final fight was on ! There
could be no more lively tribute
to the fear his candidacy inspires,
than this unheard of intrusion OF
the Democratic press into mat
ters that in no way whatever
concern them.
In the presidential primaries
lust held in New York the Ad-
ministration's gang of thugs so
brutally trampled into the mire
the rights of the Roosevelt voters
by denying them ballots, that
even such staunch organs OF
Democracy as the San, Herald,

ing language to describe the out
rage:
"Taft beats Roosevelt to in the
Primary Election here which all
parties call Farce. IN Y. American.
"Want special session called and

IBOUNT|FUL CROPS
SHOWN IN REPORT
Corn Exceeds all Other &c.
reals in Governmental
Report for October

With the harvesting of all grains
report of the Department of Agricul-
ture gives the most bountiful yield
ever raised in the United States.
The aggregate of all grains is s.
413,000,000 bushels, or 1,146,000,000
bushels, or 26.7 per cent over the ag-
Igregate yield of 1911, and 529,000,0O0
bushels, or II per cent above the pre-
vious high mark of 1906.
1t is the first year known when
crops generally have been as near
lperfect as it has been possible to raise.
This is the result of the favorable
weather conditions at the right time,
Infringing the crops along and enab-
Hing proper filing. 1t is also due to
more care given to the selection of
seed and the preparation of the
ground.

weeks have moved about 161, 900, 900
bushels of all grain, or 100000 bu-

iprices have been secured and farmers
lhave sold more grain than in any pre-
lvious year and secured fairly salts

In North Dakota the wheat crop is

raised by any state. The yield per
(acre there averaged IS bushels. In
sthe three Northwestern states there

wide efforts made in late years by the
federal government ind the states to

from the state stations along these
lines.
THE features of the report are the
enormous harvests of corn, oats and
spring wheat. More than three bill
lion bushels of corn, almost a billion
and a half bushels of oats and three
hundred and thirty millions of bushels
of spring wheat have been grown.
Average Yield Doubled.
Iowa with 219,780,000 bushels, H.

North Dakota with 96,13S 900 bushels,
were the principal oats producers. In
each of these states the yield per
acre was almost double last years
yield.
AS the result of the large crops
and of the confidence prevailing
throughout the country, the railroads
have bought supplies in large and all

at their full capacity. The latter are
sold ahead on their capacity for the
greater part of the first six months
