( . .. Hadley.
. 'Of all the leaders on the. Roosevelt
side at the Chicago republican con
vention, Governor Hadley ws .the
only one who came out at the close
distinctly stronger than at the start.
H'e was the 'only one who evoked a
real, spontaneous demonstration. He
alone made a good impression on
every one in the convention hall
whether tbey . agreed or disagreed
with him.
Stories rife at the time that this
perceptibly growing popularity had
put the Missouri , man in bad with
Colonel Roosevelt, whose battle he
was fighting against great odds, are
supported by the treatment now ac
corded Mr. Hadley by the colonel's
closest friends and champions. ' In
its 'inspired story - of the convention,
for. example, the Jteview of Reviews
reiterates and harps upon the state
ment that " Governor Hadley was
spokesman for the Roosevelt forces'
"until the last day" While damning
him with faint praise, it declares
tV.at he Mas "an "unfortunate selec
tion for the leadership of his cause,"
and without making, the . direct
charge, intimates that Governor Had
ley ' was responsible for - the plan of
having the Roosevelt delegates' an
swer,. "Present, but , not. .voting,"
after the temporary roil was. made
permanent, and then refused to ex
ecute it and Join the bolters.' The
readar is left to Infer that Governor
Hadley' was spokesman only "until
the jast day", because of lack of cour
age, orwant of loyalty, to go through
with an accepted program. ,v
' Governor Hadley is doubtless well
able to take care' of himself, but this
sort of backfiring and, bushwhacking
does jiot look like fair play... Un
prejudiced people will be much more
inclined to' believe-that, the colonel's
unconcealed distrust of Governor
Hadley was due primarily,, if not
wholly, not to differences as to pro
cedure, but. to the frequent mention
of his name as a compromise candi
date for president upon whom all
republican factions might be brought
to unite. . - ... 1; . ... .

' Slaughter Continues in Mexico.
Two ' hundred dead lying in the
streets of ,a besieged town, 'thirty-six
federal soldiers and twenty passen
gers on a train killed, an' American
soldier shot near El Paso, 'where
rebels are attempting to cross the
American boundary, and many other
reports of death and devastation, go
to show that the Mexican outlaws
are continuing .unabated their wan
ton slaughter. . Many atrocities of
the. most, revolting character are
being' committed by the wild bands
of bushwhackers with apparent Im
punity sd far as the Madero govern

come, to Just where, it was feared and
predicted they would come .unless the

Growth of Internal Commerce.
In a new compilation, 0. P. Aus
tin, chief of the ' bureau of. statistics
for the United States, shows that the
foreign commerce of this country ad
vanced from' $1,000,000,000 inf 1870
to practically" $4,000,000,000 11912
and that the internal domestic com
merce for the same period grew from
$7,ood,o'6'o;ooov t9 $33,000,000,000,
exceeding the ratio of foreign com
merce. ;
It is of . special Interest to note
Bkti8tiejan's!;comtneiit! jlhat the
growth of, our commerce and indus
try, which is a surprise to the'world,
really dates from the opening up of
thVfirst transcontinental railway in
1869. Lateral lines soon followed
the Union pacific, tapping and de
veloping the great productive valleys
of the middle west and later the far
west, giving to the-, world such an
abundance of new wealth as to form
a quickening impulse to business gen

And this great west . continues and
will continue to he the chief source
and reservoir of new wealth to' this

GENERAL EVENTS IN THE ARMY
Gleanings from the Army and Navy Eejiiter.
Army Medical Corp.
Colonel William B. Davis, of the army
medical corps, was placed on the retired
list on Wednesday on account of age.
This will result In the promotion of Ma
jor George D. Deshon to be a lieutenant
colonel and Captain Raymond F. Met
calfe to be a v major. Major Deshon has
been on duty at the . army and navy
general hospital at Hot Springs, Ark.,
and Captain Metcalfe at the Letterman
general hospital at the Presidio of San
Francisco. Colonel Davis Is from Vir
ginia and served originally In the navy
as a surgeon. In January, 1877, he left
that 'service and was at once appointed
an assistant surgeon In the army, with
rank of first lieutenant. He reached the
grade of colonel In 'January, 1909,
Parntaitera' Clerks. '
The senate will Insist upon Its amend
ment to the army appropriation bill pro
viding that the age limit, for the retire
ment of . army paymasters' clerks shall
be the same as the ag Mmlt for the re
tirement of commissioned officers of the
army. At present these, clerks have a
retiring age at S3 ( years, while officers
of the army retire at 64. The quarter
master general of the army was recently
requested to state whether or not he
favored pay clerks having a special au
thority to be retired two years In ad
vance of the general retiring age. Gen
eral ; Aleshlre replied that he did not
favor the legislation and was not asked
about It The clause in the former ap
propriation bill providing for the retire
ment of pay clerks was based upon the
navy law, which provides for. the earlier
retirement There is a feeling that this
was a mistake and should be corrected
at this time.
New General Officers.
The nominations of Colonel Edgar Z.
Steever, fourth cavalry, now in com
mand of the troops along the Mexican
border, to be a brigadier general of the
line and th'tt of Colonel George Andrews,
adjutant general of the eastern division,
to be adjutant general of the army were
sent to ths senate on August a Colonel
Steever succeeds Brigadier General
George F. Chase, who was retired for
age. He is a graduate of the military
academy, class of 1871. He was assigned
as a second lieutenant, to . the third
cavalry and reached the rank of colonel,
fourth cavalry, in August, 1903. Colonel
Steever will retire for age on August 20,
1913. These nominations will meet with
no objection from the senate military
committee, and a similar feeling is ex
pressed in relation to the nomination of
Colonel E. J. McClernand to be a brig
adier general. There is however, strong
opposition to the nominations of Generals
Wotherspoon and Edwards, the former
to be a major general. The nomination
of Colonel George Andrews to be the
adjutant general, of the army, with the
rank of brigadier general for the period
of four years beginning August 6, 1912,
was sent to the senate on August 6. He
will succeed Brigadier General W. P.
Hall.
Blondes mat. Brunettes.
For two years the army medical corps
collected data bearing on the Influence
ot the tropical climate on blondes and
brunettes. Most of the observations were
carried on among enlisted men of the
army. Statistics, however, were gathered
from the Philippine scouts, the Philip
pine constabulary, and the Manila police
force. The observations were made In
the Philippines on 500 blondes and an
equal number of brunette. , Quarterly
tests were made on the weight, tempera
ture, pulse, respiration, blood pressure
and muscular strength. ' Many thousands
of observations were made, and the con
clusion was reached that the differences
were so alight and so Inconsistent that
they were of no great significance. Of
twenty-one medic! officers who observed
the blonde and brunette soldiers only
one considered that there was any dif
ference In the ability of the'bl6rtdes and
brunettes to resist the tropical climate.
With regard to the use ot stimulants it
was found that the excessive use of
alcohol was perhaps a trifle more com
mon among the blondes, but this was of
small consequence as there were few
persons In the groups observed who in
dulged to excess. After a thorough con
sideration of all the data it appears to
the medical officers that blondes are
quite ss weir able as brunettes to with
stand the influences of the Philippine
climate for a period of two years and
probably for over five years.
Additional Enlisted Hen.
The recruiting division ot the' bureau
ot navigation is busily engaged In prepa
ration for the enlistment of additional
men tor the navy, which have been pro
vided in the naval appropriation bill.
Four thousand men have been added to
the enlisted force, which will bring the
total up to about (2,000 men. Congress
has likewise appropriated 330,000 addi
tional for expenses of recruiting these
men, and new recruiting parties will ' be
sent In various directions, and the cam
paign of . advertising and personal solici
tation will be carried on with renewed
energy. It will be necessary to recruit
about 20,000 men this year, owing to the
large number of expirations of enlistment
It will be recalled that In 1908 provision
was made for an additional .(,000 men to
the enlisted force of the navy and by
January, 1909, the total number had been
recruited, This was due In a great de
gree to the cruise of the battleship fleet,
which attracted many men desirous of
taking the trip around the world. While
the method of recruiting Is far superior
to what it was In 190S, it is believed some
little difficulty may . be . encountered in
securing the men desired on account of
the unusual demand tor laborers at this
period of the year. The large crops In
the west call for a great many men and
It is also a noticeable fact that a large
number of possible recruits who have
been born in - this country, - but whose
parents came from Italy, have answered
the call ' of that country and have been
going home to take part in the' Italian
Turkish war. In order to recruit ths
men necessary to man the vessels of the
navy the recruiting parties will have to
show returns averaging at least 3to re
cruits a week.
SWAN SONG OF THE RANGE
Canadian B&nges Vanish like Those of the United States. ...
" . ..-? St-Louis Globe-Democrat. '
Ths last "roundup "of the cattlemen "of
North America will be at Calgary? in
the1 Province of Alberta; British America,
from September 2 to 8, 'inclusive of both
dates. It is significant ot how the bor
der line between Canada and the United
States IS being practically, though not
politically, wiped out by the close con
tact of the peoples, that cattlemen on all
of our northern ranges are preparing to
move on Calgary In force. On all the
wide expanses of our northwest, where
the men who know how to throw a rope
In a way to drop It over the horns of a
steer; who know how to ride bucking
bronches or other fiery, untamed steeds;
who know what ' "bulldogging" a steer
means; who can ride 111 relay races or
do anything ever done on a cattle range
anywhere under the sun, are now getting
ready to "hit the trail" for Calgary.
Some of them will compete for the many
prises offered by the cattlemen of the
Canadian ranges, under whose auspices
the meet will be held. But by far the
most will go to be at the last roundup,
literally "In at the death" of range life,
an expression which Is not nearly so
much of a solecism as it sounds.
Something like a swan song Is sung
by the cattle barons ot Alberta, in is
suing their Invitations, Alberta, with
its vast expanses of fertile lands, free
for graslng, has long had a race of
cattle barons as wealthy as any of ours
In the days when pave Payne and his
boomers roared and raged all around
Oklahoma, with our cattle barons, hold-''
lng it as a vast estate Closed to settle
ment 1 Everywhere In the world where
population la rapidly growing, and there
Is an increasing pressure for ownership
ot the soil, the herdsmen are being forced
out. It ls 'now In Alberta as it Vas n
Oklahoma a quarter of a century ago.
The Alberta cattle barons sing in the
swan song: "They realize that the old
west they knew, the west of the wild
and woolly days, is dying out. The trails
once ridden by the cowpuncher are now
being crossed by barbed wire fences.
The steam plow has cut up the range
land, and the noisy locomotive streaks
across the prairie on bright steel rails,
while the painted Indian has settled' down
to a lite of ease on the treaty money of
the Dominion government They are
anxious to have one big reunion of the
boys ot ths early 70s and 80s, the . men
who were' In Alberta ahead of the rail
road," ; "
Cattlemen whose combined fortunes
run far into the millions are financing
t'iie enterprise. They Include Pat Burns,
who roJe Into the country without a dol
lar about a quarter of a century ago, and
who is now several times a millionaire.
Ths evolution of Canada appears to be
along lines so very similar to those we
Ourselves have followed, that the homo
geneity of the two peoples, if ever
doubted, can be doubted no longer The
Canadians are traveling the same roads
we have traveled, and must in time con
front the same problems. One of these
la forcibly suggested by the passing ot
the cattle ranges there as here. It is
the passing of our cattle ranges which
has forced one element ot our high cost
ot living problem, because the small land
owner has not as yet turned, his atten
tion to stock raising on a small scale,
tie seems obsessed with the notion that
farming means sowing and reaping and
little more. The Canadian farmer may
be wiser In his generation. ,
