bly, may fall to them, the general be-
lief in the Army is that the next chief
of staff will be Maj..Gen. Leonard
Wood. Maj.-Gen. William II. Carter
also is considered n likely candidate.
Between these two officers there
seems at present to be little to choose
as far as the apparent chance of pre-.
ferment is concerned, but n strong be-
lief exists nevertheless that if the rank
ing officer, Wood, lets it be known even
indirectly to President Taft that he
would like to come to Washington to
direct army affairs the President will
ray heed and give him an opportunity.
There is one objection to General
Woods preferment, as army officers re-
gard it, and that is that every timc
that the general has been named for
promotion there has been strong oppo-
sition in congress to his advancement.
This opposition was based largely on
the belief of the Legislators that the
general had been given too rapid pro
motion.

The New Cry From the West.

1t appears that the West is sending
in new appeal for laborers. The
cry from Nebraska is not NOW for
handy men about the farm, but for
such as can work in factones. Help
is wanted at once at Omaha, Lincoln
and the smaller cities. A story OF
the same sort comes from Wisconsin.
Ut has. been said when there is a
great demand for harvesters that
even good wages are nos as 'tractive
as they might be because the term Of
employment is so short. Men do not
care to make long journey into a
ard thaE is strange to them, with the
prospect eli being turned adnlft with
IN few weeks. But this demand for
factory workers suggests permanent
snployment 1t also suggests in
CREASE OF business activity and the
development OF new industries. For
this reason it will extdte pleasalrable
antbcipations all over the country.
There is good omen in the new cry
from the West.
