had been RECALLING themselves in his

discovered that most of the spoons

he met with a refusal. He then sum-

result that patrolmen held up the

ARMY ATHLETICS.

Rriradier General William n. Carter,
commanding the Department OF the
visavas. Philippine Islands, has taken
an advanced position in favor of Vigor-
zous physical training in the army by
announcing that in his department
nhvsical training, Including participa-
ton in authorized athletic contests
shall be regarded as other drills, and
any injury received in such exercise
shall be reported as incurred in line OF
duty. Upon this action of General Car
ter the Army and Navy Journal makes
the following comments with further
information:
general Carter remarks, and officers
generally who have had experience in
such matters will agree with him, that
the value to the service from athletic
contests comes mainly in the general
good effects of the preparation, and his
order. which prescribes conditions for
the Annual Athletic Meet for the De-
partment, states that preference will be
shown for those sports and exercises
in which all the men may engage. 1t
is not required that elderly soldiers
whose physique may have become i'm
paired by long service, shall take part
in the more trying exercises, but in the
case of all not so impaired, participa-
ton is compulsory.
General Carriers view on this matter
is entirely sound and practical. Or
gar zed athletic contests are legiti-
nateIy a part of the soldiers physical
training, and he should have no option
as TO participating in them. What is
needed is some regulation which shall
make them systematic and so ordered
as to engage every enlisted man. The
best means TO that end is to remove
them from the field of option and make
them compulsory. Any hardship in
volved in that arrangement is fully
compensated by the provision that in
.juries received while thus engaged shall
be regarded as incurred in the line OF
duty. That of itself should serve te
popularize organized contests in ever,
command in the service. The Annua

Scores of poems set to familiar airs
drift into the Republican national and
State headquarters these days. Yester-
day the mail brought a verse which the
writer says should be sung to Hail
Columbia 1t is as follows:
Raise your banners, hail the chief
Of our country, great and glorious;
Of our party, long victorious;
Strenuous always-pressing onward,
Ever notwithstanding forward.
Vote for him who is truly leading,
Earnestly all good causes pleading,
Lest our nation come to grief,
Trust in him-our faithful chief.

RESULTS or STRIKE.


An object lesson of the destructive
effects of strikes is furnished in reports
of comparative receipts of live stock
during July at five western markets
made to the Department of Commerce
and Labor through its Bureau of sta
tistics. showing the extent TO which
this branch of domestic commerce has
been affected by the packing-house
strikes. Comparing July of this year
with July of last year, there has been
a decrease of over million head of
live stock, or. from 2,62o,046 head IN
1903 to 1,554.45 head in 1904 at the five
markets of Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha, st. Louis and ST. Joseph. Cat
lie receipts fell off AZ per cent; calves
"a per cent; hogs, 80 per cent; sheep, 40
per cent, and horses and mules per
cent. In the number Of cars of stock
handled the months record shows
decrease in traffic of railroads from 81
75s cars in July, 1903, to sO,741 cars in
July, 1904, or a loss of IL per cent.
In the receipts of animals there was
a shrinkage, comparing July of this
year with July of last year. of S7.3 per
cent at Chicago, 45.4 per cent at Kan
sas City, 52.4 per cent at Omaha, and
30.9 per cent at ST. Louis and a. per
cent at ST. Joseph. The shrinkage in
carloads was 41.9 per cent at Chicago
al per cent at Kansas City, 52.4 per
G at ST
Louis and 45.s per cent at st. Joseph
The returns from the markets taken
separately show as a rule that while
receipts fell off rapidly local consump-
ton was still more notably reduced
AT Chicago, for instance. city use and
local consumption were only one-haf
that of July, 1908, at Kansas City less
than half, at Omaha 60 per cent less
and at st, Joseph SO per cent.
Comparing receipts for seven months |
at these five markets, the total OF TINS
wear was or July 81 still well in adj
vance of either that of 1902 or I9VS-

IT has been suggested to the Adver-
Itfser that enough use is not made Of
the royal palm in beautifying, the
street borders of HonolulbY The curb
line of Bishop street. on the opposite
side from the Alexander Young hotel,
is indicated by the prompter as a good
place for row of those stately trees,
pafalleling another on the edge of the
Bishop lot lately graded and planted
with grass at the instance of Secretary
Atkinson. Strangers taking a look at
the town from trolley cars are gener-
ally observed to exult at the sight of
palms, especially avenues of the royal
variety, as they recognize in these
trees a prime feature of tropical vege-
tation. The royal palm is rapid
grower, a point in its favor for street
adornment. A great obstacle to the
lining of streets and sidewalks with
trees of any kind is the maze of cleo
trical wires with their supporting poles.
Still, with some engineering and selec-
ton of routes, there are many thor
oughfares. in the residence parts espe-
cially, which might be revolutionized
in scenic appearances by judicious tree
planting.

Jossman, Guimaras, November is, IL
and 10. win be devoted to exercises of
three classes. namely, athletic events.
military events and games, and in pur-
suance with General Carriers purpose
the program has been arranged with a
view TO bringing all the men into ac-
ton. Among the military events an
nounced. is a pack train contest. de-
livering ammunition to the firing line
a fine exercise which. with the disap-
pearance of Indian warfare, is almost
forgotten. Inasmuch as we have no
definite and adequate system of rush
ing ammunition TO the firing line the
adoption of the pack train contest as
an event III military athletics is an
admirable step. It is not only capital
physical exercise, but it may develop
method of delivering ammuni-
ton that would be of inestimable value
to the army in time of war. The games
include association football in which no
tackIing is allowed and which for that
reason is desirable as a field exercise. |
All in all the execution of the program
for the meeting in General Carriers de- |
oartment will be awaited with lively |
interest by all who are concerned in :
rational physical training for the
army"
