GLENDVE BOYS
ATTRACT ATTENTION

Camp David S. Stanley, Aug. II
-(Staff Correspondence )-Althougf
some of the enlisted men live sixty
miles from Glendive. the home sta.
ton of Company |, second Montana
infantry that company has ffty-eight
men in camp, more than any other
company. Thirty of these are cow
boys, ranchers or sheepmen, scatter.
ed over an area of several hundred
miles, and to allow every man to
drill it is necessary to hold squad
drills in four places, Glendive, Terry,
Wibaux and Ismay.
i Montana officers claim that this or
ganization is the most unique mill
tary company in the world. Two
weeks before the Montana regiment
started for American Lake, the
rough riders of the Montana plains
and hills began to gather at Glendive
and concentration camp similar to
a regimental camp had to be estab-
| lished to care for them. Tents were
put up and messes established. For
four days the men streamed in by
twos and threes. and when all had
arrived the company had it's first full
company drill in a year. Then the
men were taken on to the company
rifle range for five days shoot, and
the cowboys all qualified as marks
men and sharpshooters. Last Thurs
day they went to Helena where the
regiment was concentrated.
Capt. j. A. Mitchell, commanding
Company /, is the chief of police of
Glendive, and First Lieut.. J. H. Mis-
kimen is the Mayor of the town,
which has a population of 3 800. The
company has total enlisted force of
more than seventy men, of whom
forty are from Glendive and vicinity.
The other thirty all live more than
twenty miles from that place.
The farthest man from Glendive
lives sixty miles in one direction, and
another lives forty miles in the other
direction.
Most of the men in this company
are more used to riding than walk
ing, and they have repeatedly asked
that the company be turned into
cavalry troop. Bernie Kempton, one
of the most loyal members, is one of
the largest ranchers in that terri
tory and made an offer to provide
the entire company with horses if
the state would make it a cavalry
troop. Kempton has Indian blood in
his veins and rides score of miles
to drill.
Maj. Daniel ]. Donohue, of the
Second Montana resides at Glendive
and organized this unique company.
He is surgeon in this little frontier
town and spent months in bringing
this company to that point where it
is generally recognized as one of the
most powerful guard fighting units
in the service today. Glendive is now
the center of the vast sheep country
and is the stronghold of the last
stand of the cowmen in the North
west. John R. Paxton, Maj. Dono-
hue's battalion sergeant major, rode
sixty miles to Glendive to come to
camp. Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Dog Was Grateful.
New York World.

At the risk of his own life the brave
and humane George Gordon saved fox
terrier from perishing miserably at
Bloomfield yesterday.
The dog walked out on the ice on the
Morris canal, near the Liberty street
bridge, and fell into big air hole. 1t
tried desperately to get out upon the
ice, but its front paws slipped again
and again, and it fell back.
Gordon, on Liberty street, heard, saw
and acted instantly. He ran down the
embankment and crawled out on the
ice, which cracked under him. Just as
he grabbed the dogs collar the ice
broke and man and dog were plunged
into eight feet of water. Gordon found
himself in the same danger the dog had
been in. AS often as he seized the edge
of the ice it broke, and he never let 20
of the terriers collar, and finally reach
ed land.
Hugging the dog, which gratefully
licked his hand, Gordon hurried to his
home, II Hickory street. To escape
pneumonia the man went to bed and
the dog curled up by the kitchen range.

Do You Know How 10 Walk?
philadelphia Press.

" ICSS.)
''Do you know how to walk?" sounds
like silly question, but it is one which
we should not answer hurriedly.
Of course, all of US know pretty well
how to move our limbs and to put our
feet down in the proper order, but there
is one feature of walking-using the
pavements with the least inconvenience
to others-that few of US ever bother
about.
We can get striking examples of this
on Chestnut street or any other Ameri-
can thoroughfares at any time. But
the entire disregard of everybody else's
rights by everybody else in London has
led the Express" of that city to say:
At least seventy-five per cent. of those
who walk Tor, rather, attempt to walk
in crowded street do so with entire
contempt of the convenience of others.
They ignore the unwritten law of keep
to the right" and jostle, elbow and
edge their way through their fellow be-
ings with an utter disregard of courtesy,
kindness, or forethought. Or, which
is as bad, if not worse, they loaf and
dawdle as though their feet were made
of particularly heavy kind of lead and
they had hired the pavement for their
exclusive use. Observe that elderly ma
iron zigzagging to and from the shop
windows, lacking like yacht in half a
gale. getting in the way of everybody
| and incidantalIxy ba;1rr ,ushaJ oLo,,+ 49, i
elbowed to her evident discontinue and
disgust. But it is purely her own fault.
If she kept to the right she could go up
the side of the street and down the 9TH
er with the least possible inconvenience
or chance of collision.
Then you will see three stout men
punched together in the middle of the
pavement talking, and every man, wo-
man and child has to make half circle
around them, or else step off into the
motor-omnibus, infested roadway.
An advertisement recently appeared
In Partisan newspaper to the effect
that Professor Pierre Broussett had es-
tablished himself as Especial professor
of instructing foot passengers how to
walk safely in public thoroughfares. -
This seems to be quite good idea, for
truth to tell, if we walk badly, as we
undoubtedly do, Parisians walk ten
times worse. The streets are in a sense
their home. Anyhow, we ought to be
taught at school to keep to the right. 1t
Is SO easy. When we are driving or mo-
toring we know the rule of the road,
and instinctively keep to it; we bear to
the left as matter of course, and there
seems to be no reason, whatever, why
we should not be as careful and con-
scientious in walking as in driving.

The Failures Of 1907.
philadelphia Press. }

The panic of 1907 was remarkable for
no preparatory warning in an increase
of failures. Instead, for the first nine
months of the year the failures in num-
Der and in the amount of their liabili-
ties were among the lowest ever re-
corded, far lower than ever before, tax
ing the total of credits into account.
The last three months of the year,
however, made up for this. The total
number of failures for the year still re-
manned low, 1925. This was larger
than 1902 and 1904, with 1924 and 1870
failures, but slightly below 1904, with
TO- 22 failures, and 1901, with 10, est.
For ten years, 1898 to 1907, failures
have averaged annually GIG. The num-
Der for 1907, 1O,2S5, was therefore
not large. But it included in the last
quarter several large banks. 1t was not
the number of failures, as in 1893 and
1873, that make the collapse serious;
but the size of a few with very large
liabilities.
The severity of the CONFUSION is
made apparent by the aggregate liabili-
ties of failures in 1907. These are
Bradstreet's figures: 1911, S42, 692, the
largest since 1893, when liabilities were
S4O2, 4OO,O These two years are the
largest on record. In the interval firms
have grown in number 81 per cent.
ciearings, a measure of credits, have
tripled. and the gross of wealth of the
country grown at least one-third. While
liabilities are therefore larger than in
any year but 1903, and run close TO that
their proportion to firms is two-thirds,
to credits third and to wealth about
one-half of the proportion the total liza
Utilities of failures bore fourteen years
ago to the firms in business, the credits
and wealth of the land.
A revival may be expected relatively
quicker. In 1898, four lean years fol
lowed. The new year predictions, with
which the papers TEEN, generally lool
to next Autumn, after the November
election, as the probable time for a re
vival.

A VICIOUS MEASURE.

Mr.. Spessard, who is the representa-
tive from Craig and Allegheny counties
in the House of Delegates of Virginia,
has introduced a very Objectionable
measure in that body. Its object is to
change the makeup of four of the Con-
gressional Districts of the State. This
bill provides that Craig county shall lie
taken from the Ninth District and add
ed to the Tenth. 1t also provides that
Halifax county shall be taken from the
Sixth District and added to the Fifth.
1t further provides that Bland, Wythe.
Pulaski and Giles counties shall be ia
ken from the Ninth and added to the
Sixth District.
The whole purpose of this measure
partisan and dishonest. 1t is directly
in the face of the provisions of the
Constitution of Virginia. But what
care such partisans as the patron of this
bill for the Constitution or the good of
thepeople of his section? We would like
for all honest Virginians to look at a
map of the State, and see how the four
Congressional districts would look if
Mr.. Spessard's bill should become a
law. The Sixth District is already a
geographical and Typographical mon
strosity, but if reconstructed according
to the desire of the representative
from Craig, it will be still more hideous
to the size and more repulsive to the
moral element of the State.
Of course some self-seeking politi
clans are behind this movement. If il
should be enacted into law the Ninth
District would be made more perma
nently and surely Republican. But W,
wish to record our protest against sucl
an unjust and unlawful proceeding
We hardly believe that the good peopl
of Bland, Wythe, Giles and Pulaski vii
desire to be severed from the Mint,
District, and even though they ar
Democratic, some of them, we woul
hate to be parted from them.

DO SOMETHING.

Z Again from Washington comes the
same old dismal news. The Democrats
will attack the Aldrich bill but may not
present one of their own. And why not?
Is there no constructive craftsmanship
among the Democratic senators and rep
resentatives? Is their ability confined
to criticism and opposition of what 9th
ers do and unequal to offering something
that will appeal to the sense of the
country as better? Are they too timid,
too distrustful of themselves to present
a measure on which they will be willing
TO stake the chances of their party in
the election of this year?
If these questions are answered in the
affirmative, the sooner the remnant of
the Democratic party makes a clean
sweep of its present representatives in
house and senate and all its present
leaders, the better. 1t can not hope to
accomplish anything more than the cleo
ton of a few men to useless eeats in
congress unless it sends to congress
men who can and will do something,
who have the intellect and courage to
put before the people something better
than the Republicans can give them.
The Aldrich bill is vicious, dangerous
and inadequate. The Democrats ought
to fight it. They will gain nothing,
however, by such fight, even if sue
cessful, unless they construct and offer
something better. They will be met
everywhere in Washington and in the
campaign with the just taunt, eff the
Aldrich bill was bad why didn't you
make something better?"
Present conditions offer the Demo
cratic party a beautiful opportunity to
win public confidence and following bv
proving that its representatives have
the ability and courage to devise and
construct a plan of relief from present
currency conditions. We believe the
abolition of the ten per cent. tax on
State bank issues, with uniform regula-
tion for the basis of those issues and
Federal supervision would solve the
ques. N. If that suggestion is reject
ed, it does seem that somewhere in the
responsible leadership of the Democrat
ic party there ought to be somebody
with brains enough to frame a system
for an elastic currency and nerve
enough to command following.
We cannot win by merely snarling,
objecting. eriticizing and picking little
flaws. If we are to hope for any power
in the country we must prove that we
are willing and able to do something and
10 handle big propositions. Richmond
News Leader
This is very severe attack upon the

craftsmanship and constructive ability
of the Democratic senator's and repre-
sentatives in Congress We fully agree
with our contemporary in its estimate
of the ability and craftsmanship of the
representatives Of the party; but it is
fortunate that they are not in position
to construct any financial or other pol
icy for this Government. AS party of
opposition and obstruction it is nearly
always harmless and sometimes useful.
But when it has the power to construct
any policy it becomes both dangerous
and distinctive. Its capacity seems to
be limited to devising and constructing
nothing but time-worn and discredited
economic and financial policies. 1t is
time that there ought to be somebody
with brains enough to frame a system
for an elastic currency and nerve
enough to command a following;;" but
we fear no such person can be found
among the Democratic leadership.
There is one man who is thought by
modern Democrats to possess the above
named qualities, and he seems to pos
sess the necessary amount of nerve, or
we might say cheek, to undertake to
make polio for the party. OF course
we mean Mr.. Bryan. However, such
Democrats as think with our Richmond
contemporary are unwilling to trust
either his nerve or his constructive lead
ership. We don't blame them. So far
he has developed no capacity for origi-
mating anything but some disc-edited
old or new fad of the Democracy or of
Populism.

IhrashinQ a Bov.

An irate citizen dashed up to the
stoop, nearly pulled the old-fashioned
bell out of the socket, stormed till the
master of the house appeared, and thus
saluted him: "Sir, I'm going to thrash
that boy, shaking his finger in the d.
rection of youugster of some II years.
1T is outrageous that you should allow
him to be so mean and contemplate.
don't suppose you ever whipped him in

master of the house, meekly; do not
believe in corporal punishment"
We'll, l do, and I'm going to tan
that young scoundrel's hide. If he had
licking a week he wouldn't be so great

do. The law apparently is in your hands.
If you insist upon it, go ahead and lick
him."

ing when a strange man appeared or

INTO the irate citizen and nearly wal.
loped the hide off him. When the latter
could escape he appealed to the master
of the house, saying in gasps:

fellow who attacked me?"
"Oh! have no boy. That was the
