The Shoe Situation.

Most footwear producers, both East and
West, have booked sufficient fall and winter
orders to keep plants busly occupied for a
considerable period. Yet some manufacturers
are not SO rushed on c. ntracts for prompt ship
ments. and are taking stock and overhauling
machinery during the temporary lull. These
matters are being attended to la.er than usual
this year, owing to the previous pressure for
immediate deliveries. Prices continue high on
all lines and by some are expected to go still
higher.-Dun's Review, Aug. 18th.

Americans Learn to Shoot.

NO more interesting reflection OF the attitude
OF the nation with reference to prcnaredness NAV
be found than that contained in the reports Just
made through the National Rifle Association OF
the tremendous interest developed in rifle shoot
ing throughout the country
1t seems that the introduction OF army rifles
to the civilian rifle clubs OF the country has re-
suited in the organization Of almost 1000 clubs
since the first OF January last. The actual in
crease has been from little more than 600 to
something like 1000. The aggregate membership
OF these clubs is reported to be about o5ooo
Through the appropriation Of 100000 for rifle
practice among civilians, the War Department
will be able to carry this work further and ac-
quaint many more Americans with the ease with
which craftsmanship be developed One hun
drcd years ago this nation was nation of marks
men, Today there few men who know how
to shoot the modern high power military maga-
zinc rifle.
While the campaign for civilian riflemen has
been active but about six or eight months, it was
really started some six years ago when Capt W.
c. Harllee, U. S. Marine Corps, began mission
airy work to build up body of marksmcn in the
Marine Corps Capt Harllee did so we'll he was
chosen vice president of the National Rifle As
soclation and placed the National Board for
the Promotion of Rifle Practice On this board
he has been able to carry out his work in the
nation at large. The result has been what the
National Rifle Association now reports.
1t is understood that the director of civilian
rifle practice who is to take charge of the spend
ing Of the money just appropriated by Congress
is to be Capt. Harllee. The appointment of this
officer is said to be foregone conclusion, as it
is his effort and energy and initiative and enhus-
iasm that has brought rifle practice among civil
ians to its present state. 1t would not do to let
this officer haCL ipto l.
Of commander of marine guard on some bat
tleship. He has made the business of rifle shoot
ing attractive to civilians. He should be chosen

James X. Polk was the only Presi-
dent who permitted his hair to fall in
long and graceful tresses. so to speak,
so that the back OF his neck was con-
cealed. His flowing locks were some
times described as suggesting the
name of a highly-bred and graceful
horse, but II was not for this reason
that President Polk was called a
dark horse"
He was the first OF the presidential
candidates to be nominated without
having been, before the meeting of
the convention, spoken OF as an avail
able candidate for the nomination. His
service as Speaker of the House of
Representatives had given him some
Influence worthy of recognition, il was
thought, by nominating him as candi-
date for viCe-president. That was an
office which PoIk's friends said ne
would gladly have accepted, looking
upon it as promotion from the
speakership Of the House.
When the Democratic convention
met in 1874. the common presumption
was that Martin Van Buren would be
for the third time nominated for the
presidency. The middle West believed
that the time had come when a repre-
sentative citizen of that section should
be named as the Democracy's candi-
date for president and there was no
one who had gained greater favor
than General Lewis Cass. OF Michigan.
