There should be no misconception in the minds of Democrats as to the strength of the ticket nominated at Chicago yesterday. . President Roosevelt is greatly ad- mired by the young, progressive, and aggressive elements of his party. They like his daring, his dash, his contempt for precedents, his masterful way of bending the party bosses to his will, his defiance and subsequent placating of the Wall street magnates. Hisnom- ination represents the will of the Re- publican voters, however distasteful it may be to many of the old “war horses” and government mules of the party. Senator Fairbanks is the precise op- posite of Mr. Roosevelt in character and temperament. Cool, cautious, slow, conservative, he furnishes an admirable foil for the impetuous head of the tick- et. And he lives in a State whose elec- toral votes may be essential to the suc- cess of the Democratic candidates. The organization of the Republican party for effective campaign work must be accepted as most efficient. Though Hanna and Quay are gone. the party in power is strong in experienced and skillful politicians. Perhaps the ablest of them all sits in the White House and will direct the campaign through his trusted lieutenant, Cortelyou, who is a master of detail. There will be no lack of money. The whole body of of- ficeholders will be auxiliaries in the campaign, each one anxious to retain his place. Taken as a whole the coun- try is still fairly prosperous, and the appeal to “let well enough alone” will not be without force. * * * The defeat of President Roosevelt is not impossible, but it is fraught vith so many difficulties that the only chance of the Democrats to accomplish it lies in the nomination of his complete an- tithesis for President, in the adoption of a platform sound in every plank, in the emphatic repudiation of all bood- lers and self-seekers, and the final sev- ering of the fatal alliance with Popu- lists and Socialists. —_— MEN WHO HAVE MADE THEIR M An Appropriate and Effective Book- let on the Savings Habit.

FLOODS OF 1903. The year 1903 had perhaps more than its fair share of natural calamity—of flood, and fire, and. famine. In the United States, during May and June there were three notable floods, which caused serious loss of life and great destruction of property—one in Oregon, one in South Carolina, and one in Kansas. A recent publication of the United States Geological Survey, scheduled as Water Supply and Irriga- tion Paper No. 96, contains a discussion of the various phenomena connected with these floods and suggests means for minimizing the destructiveness of future deluges. The author of the pa- per is Mr. E. C. Murphy. The flood of shortest duration oceur- red on Willow Creek, Morrow county, Oregon, Sunday evening, June 14, 1803. It was the result of what is popularly called a cloud-burst, a heavy rain storm of short duration covering a very small area and peculiar to arid regions. The flood that rose as the result of the heavy downpour of rain lasted less than an hour, but in that short space of time one section of Heppner, a town with a population of about 1400, was swept entirely away, a quarter-million dollars worth of property was destroy- ed, and more than 200 people were drowned. The great loss of life was partly due to the peculiar construction of the houses in Heppner. Nearly all these houses were built on posts of wood or stone, from which the flood lifted them and carried them away to be dashed to pieces against trees and other obstructions. : The South Carolina flood occurred on June 6, 1903, and continued for nearly 24 hours. In that time there was a rainfall of from 3}5 to 5 inches over an area of about 2500 square miles on the southern slope of the Blue Ridge-Saluda Mountains, includ- ing parts of Cherokee, Spartanburg, and Pickens counties in South Caro- lina, and Rutherford, Polk, and Hen- derson counties in North Carolina. This area is drained by three small tributaries of Broad River, known as the Pacolet, Tiger, and Enoree. The principal damage wrought by the flood was on the Pacolet, where numerous cotton mills were ruined and much railway property was destroyed. The Kansas flood occurred during the, last week of May and the first week of June. It affected a much larger area than either the Heppner or South Carolina flood and was due to a storm that lasted nearly a week. The United States Geological Survey has fortunately six gaging stations in the watershed of the Kansas River, and has, therefore, a comprehensive record of the surface fluctuations of the river and its principal tributaries during the flood. The records at Lawrence and Lecompton, on the Kansas River, cover a period of 22 years. The esti- mated flow of the Kansas River on May 31 was 225.400 cubic feet per sec- ond. In other words, if there had been a storage reservoir one acre in area ana 7's feet in depth on each sec- tion of the whole drainage area of the Kansas River, the water flowing in the river on May 31 was sutficient to have more than filled all of them. The whole river-bottom was flooded, crops were destreyed, stock was drown ed, wooden buildings were lifted from their foundations and brick houses crumbled and fell, railroads were un- dermined, and bridges were swept away. Traflic in eastern Kansas was almost entirely suspended for weeks, The property loss in Kansas and in Kansas City, Missouri, is esti- mated to have been no less than $22.- 000,000. Among the sabjects considered in this paper are the effects of ground storage, of cultivation, and of forests in reducing the magnitude of floods. The effect on streams of dams, of bridge piers, and abutments is discuss- ed ; also the danger of building out in- to streams, thus narrowing the water- way and increasing the magnitude of floods. The relief afforded by straight- ening the channel is mentioned and the use of levees is explained. two HOW TO MAKE MONEY. ‘Agents of either sex should to-day write Marsh Manufacturing Co., 538 Lake Street, Chicago, for cuts and par- ticulars of their handsome Aluminum Card Case with your name engraved on it and filled with 100 Calling or Busi- ness Cards.
