PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICANS
PEEvED AT HUGHES BOOM
MedIIi Mccormick Believes q. o. p.
Regulars Started Movement for
Sinister Purpose.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. H.
Considerable peevishness marked the
reception by progressive Republicans
here today Of the boom OF Justice
Charles K. Hughes for the presidency.
The boom was generally character
lied as an attempt by the regulars
to place the progressives In a posi-
ton OF playing politics" The fol-
lowing statement was issued at pro-
gressive headquarters by Medill Nc
Cormick.
mo progressive leader who has al
lied himself with the movement OF
the control of the 1912 convention, so
fur ns known, has declared for the
candidacy OF Justice Hughes. Some
time ago, friends Of Justice Hughes
In New York, started quiet canvass
in his behalf and as Is well.known the
Justice himself nipped the plan in
the bud. He called on his friends
and would not permit consideration
of his name. Progressive Republicans
are making fight to control the next
convention. They believe that pro-
gressive control OF the party means
the salvation OF the party I'm the next
election. The organization which the
progressives have made, is not a pi,f-
tical training concern. II is making
fight for principle.
The fact that the reactionary
newspapers already are In the busi-
ness OF attempting to create the i'm
preston that the men managing this
movement are playing the old-time
worn game OF backstairs politics, is
proof that the progressive strength
over. the country is alarming those
who know nothing but the old game
OF politics"

CHARMED
DETROIT VISITORS
J. L Hudson and Milton A. McRae
Pay Splendid Tributes to Cana
dian Premier.

J. L. Hudson, the father" OF
reciprocity in these parts" was an
interested listener to the speeches
made by Sir wilfrid Laurier and the
Hon. George p. Graham, in Windsor,
Saturday.
AS listened to these gentlemen
and their splendid advocacy of the
cause Of reciprocity, 1t seemed to me
that no one who heard them could fail
their side" said Mr.. Hudson. They
We're fine speeches. and, aside from
political significance were well-worth
listening to as examples of states
man like oratory. Judging from the
manner In which the utterances of
the premier and his colleague were
received by those In attendance at
the meeting, Il seems to me, there
can be no question OF the success Of
the election for reciprocity and the
Liberal party.sg.a44,s I. NJ sis
Mr.. Hudson has favored reciprocity
and better trade relations between
the United States and Canada for
many years, and was chairman OF
the delegation which went to Wash
ington to present to President Taft
the resolutions passed at trade-re-
lation conference. held In Detroit,
a few years ago.
II have always been anxious to see
better trade relations established be-
tween the two countries and have
been twice to Washington, with COM
mittees, appointed with that object
in view" said Mr.. Hudson.
II consider Sir Wilfrid Laurier the
most effective political speaker have
ever listened to-" said President Nc
Rae, of the Detroit Board of Com
merce, who has been prominent in
the campaign for reciprocity. "He
has keen sense of the dramatic and
his platform appearance Is wonderful
for a man Of his years. I am certain
now that reciprocity will carry. I
had some doubts about II week or
80 ago, but there seems to be no
question OF 1t now. Laurier will have
his hardest fight In Quebec, but he
should win out there"

BUSINESS is BETTER.
Volume of Trade Is Large But Devoid
of Enthusiasm.

New York. May 6.-Dunn's Review
SAYS:
The brighter outlook for the wheat
crop is responsible for a better feeling
in business. but the volume of trade,
while necessarily large, is nevertheless
slow, hating and without enthusiasm.
Taken in the aggregate, especially in
iron and steel and dry goods, consump-
ton is below producing capacity, and
concessions in prices fail to produce ac-
tivity.
Fundamental conditions are favor
able, but enterprise continues to wait
for the removal of uncertainties and for
that leadership which is born of faith
in the future. The export trade is more
vigorous than the domestic because
manufacturers no longer finding the
home market sufficient, are seeking out
lets abroad. General dullness prevails
in the pig iron market and advices from
the P1ttsburg district indicate more
new business in finished lines and on
smaller scale.
Railroad buying continues spasmodic
and one mill has closed down for May,
but in the structural division conditions
are more satisfactory.
The mail order houses complain of
reduced orders. The retail trade does
not hold the improvement resulting
from better weather.

increase.
Grander Than niagara.

One is often asked by South Africans
how the Victoria Falls compare with
Niagara. To my mind, the Victoria
Falls are far the more beautiful. 1t is
true that the volume of water at
Niagara is greater. The broad. rushing
river above the cataract, and the fierce
speed of the heaped-up narrows below,
impress one with a sense of tremend-
Gus power. But imam marks the earth
with ruin" Some of the surroundings
of Niagara are distressing to the eye.
The tame, cultivated country, the cleo
trio pow er works, the crowded hotels,
the artificial gardens, the haring ad-
vertisements, all combine to spoil one
of natures grandest works. In Africa
there is nothing of the kind. The work
of nature is left almost untouched.
There is a railway bridge, but it is
from most points invisible, and it is
nowhere a great disagreement. The
unbroken forest stretches away on all
sides just as God made it. You may
wander for hours about the falls and
never see human being or a trace of
mans handiwork. Then the body of
water, though not so great as at Nj
agara, is still immense; the height of
and the way in which the river is split
up by wooded islands and rocks adds
much to the beauty of the picture. So
does the contrast between the calm
broad reach above and the sudden
plunge and thunder of the chaSm. So
do the far-rising columns of smoke.
Perhaps at some time long ago Ma
CARA may have been as beautiful as
the falls of the Zambesi. To my mind,
it is certainly not so now-Sir H.
Mortimer Durand, in Blackwood's.
