OUR VOTING POPULATION

toincident with the approach of
the national election the census
bureau has just completed a COM
pilation of statistics of the various
classes of the male population of
the United States proper of voting
age. 1t is found that on the last
census, as taken in 1910, there
were, in 229 cities which had more
than $4,000 inhabitants, a total of
1904 ,422 males Of voting age.
These males constituted 3l.5 per
cent, or nearly one-third of the
combined population, including
femsles. all of the cities, which.
aggregated 28,543,8l6. The list
is classified according to color
nativity and parentage. 1t is also
found that the males Of voting age
in all the cities of more than 25,-
600 represent almost exactly one
third of the entire mules of age
in the United States.
Dist notion is made between
viii e males of native and foreign
birth, respectively, and also for
the native white in respect to
parentage. Those having both
parents native of the United
States are classed as of native
percentage; t.ose having either or
both parents born abroad. are
classed as If foreign or mixed
pal entage. g.. .,....
The p )tential voting strength of
each state and city is expressed by
the number of its males 81 years
of age and over, excluding the
foreign-born who have not become
naturalized. But this does not
mean the actual number of voters.
1t represents, rather, that number
of males who, from the standpoint
Of age alone, are eligible to vote,
aside from qualifications based on
education, length of residence or
considerations of q like nature
imposed by the national or state
government. Washington Herald.

RuSTLING NEVADA CATTLE

Last season the cattlcmen hust-
led over this state and it was be-
lieved cleaned out the surplus cat
tie. They were shipped to the
four quarters and by spring cattle
we're pretty shy article in every
section of the state. At Ely a
beef famine was threatened, while
in western Nevada all the beef
came in by express or freight from
the cold storage houses. A queer
situation iii beef section.
Word comes from every section
in the state that the cattle hust-
lers are again on the job. Every
farm is visited. Where there is
spare head it is bought. When
carload is rounded up it is ship
ped. In the Ely section twelve
hundred head have been bought
from the ranchers and have been
shipped out. Many a carload
we.,t out of here and PRACTICAL y
every head of cattle that is market
able, has been secured by the men
who follow this game.
The result of this continual
drainage is that beef will be higher
than in history. The cutting up
of the range into small farms is
responsible in a large measure
The time was not very far back
when large ranges were MAR
tanned throughout the entire state.
In many Instances the original
owners have died or retired. The
estates were subdivided. Small
far ms occupy the lands and where
thousands of head of beef ranged
ten years ago a small amount is
now available for the market.
The gre at east depends on tft
west for its supply Of daily meat
and in many instances the teei
that is sent out of here in carloads
comes back in quarters with al
the trimming and local profits
taken off in the large slaughter
houses. 1t seems that within a
few years that the local slaughter
house will be an unknown quantity
and be a myth. The beef ques
ion is but one that acgitates thu
minds of the citizens.-Carson Ar

R. O. BAILEY PROMOTED
Succeeds A. P. Andrew as As
sistant Secretary of Treasury.
IFrom The Tribune Bureau J


Washington, July 1.-THE Secretary
of the Treasury announced this after
noon the promotion Of X. q. Bailey, as
sistant secretary "ln charge of public
buildings and miscellaneous, to as
sistant secretary lin charge of fiscal
bureaus" vice \. Piatt Andrew whose
resignation was recently accepted. At
the same time Secretary MacNeagh
issued an order adding To the duties of
the assistant secretary in charge of fs-
cal bureaus supervision over the office OF
internal revenue thus augmenting the
Importance of this already important
section Of the Treasury Department.
Mr.. Bailey, who IL "A young man.

beginning OF this administration, having
been previously newspaper man in the
national capital. He made good 50
RAPIDLY as secretary To Secretary Mac
Veagh that he was promoted at the end
Of two years to he an assistant secretary,
and now takes charge of perhaps the
most complicated and important bureau
in the department, although the as
sistant secretary in charge Of customs
outranks him.
Mr.. MacVeagh placed the highest pos
sible estimate on Mr. Bailey's abilities.
and his promotions have been due solely
10 merit and TO the belief of the Score
tary that when energetic young men
who are competent can be found TO fill
important offices the government does
well to avail itself of their services.
Mr.. Bailey has never had any political
pull" and the prompt and effective rec
ognition of his efficiency is regarded as
rejecting credit on the department, as
well as refuting the somewhat time
worn fallacy that merit has no oppor-
tunity in the federal service unless
backed by powerful political influence.
