CLUBS AND CLUBS.

The so-called literary club which has been
such feature of intellectual life in all parts
of the country within the past few years
has suffered somewhat from overdevelop-
ment. One rather flippant critic recently
remarked that the club had gone to seed"
This is not fair verdict, for it has GER
tainly not outlived its usefulness. The
trouble Is that the men, but more especial
ly the women, who compose the member
ship of these organizations have taken
them too seriously. 1t has not been enough
TO belong to one club; the argument has APP
parently been that if one is good more
must be better, and it is no uncommon
thing for one woman to belong to half a
dozen, if the population of her town adj
member of two three such societies is
an everyday matter. Naturally, the eff
fort to do her part in all these soon becomes
burden instead OF pleasure, interest
flags, and it grows difficult for commit
tees to fill programmes for the season.
This is particularly true of clubs which have
no distinctive purpose beyond that vague
too often accepted by the members to mean
the production of essays on more or less
abstruse and remote topics which even
scholars and specialists might hesitate to
handle. Such essays are apt to be neither
edifying nor entertaining, and unless the
social bond uniting the members is unusu-
ally strong attendance dwindles and the

and other qualities not frequently repre-

undertake special lines of investigation not
beyond the powers Of any intelligent earn
est person are those that are a genuine in
tellectual stimulus in a community. They
may take the world for their theme, as
travel clubs they may follow up the de-

forms; they may study agriculture or horti-
culture, with most attractive object les

Americans are patriotic, but it is not always
an intelligent patriotism which animates
them. There is none too great familiarity
with their national history. and the clubs Of
this class are doing very definite public
service.
There is an excellent field, also, for local
history clubs. Each county has its ira
ditions which are rapidly becoming vague
for want Of verifcation and chronicle. The
history of the State has never been writ
ten in its completeness. This is a day when
people are taking proper interest in an

of early settlers, their trials and triumphs,
and puts them on paper, is contributing
chapters of value to local records If clubs
seek distinct and worthy excuse for ex-
istence they need not go far to find it.

The misinformed and unpatriotic Ameri-
cans who are denouncing 1.-The new policy of
militarism'' mistake a myth of their own
creation for reality. Suppose that a
number of alarmed and hysterieal citizens
should hold meeting and adopt resolu-
lions deprecating the growth Of monarchical
ideas in the United States, or condemning
some imaginary conspiracy for the disso-
luton of the Union and the formation of
an Eastern and Western confederacy, or
expressing alarm at the evidences Of Presi-
dent McKinleys desire to make himself
dictator for life-they would not be a whit
more foolish than the people who are talk
ing about militarism. The essence of mill
tarism is the subordination of civil to mill
tary government and the maintenance of
national power by means Of standing ar
mics. That system prevails in Germany,
where, in order to maintain a standing ar
my of $4,000 men in time of peace and
war strength of 100000 trained soldiers.
every able bodied German, unless exempted
by lot, is called into the active service at
the age of twenty and has to serve two
years in the infantry or three years in the
cavalry and field artillery. Under this sys-
tenn, out of about $4,000 young men who
are physically fit and legally liable TO serve
each year on the completion of their twen-
tieth year, 10000 are annually drafted into
the army. All the able-bodied men between
the ages of seventeen and forty-five who
are not in the standing army are enrolled in
the Landsturm and subject to military or
ders at any moment. This system prevails
and dominates every department of Ger
man life The whole political and social
fabric of the Empire rests upon 1t. and at
the touch of a button the Emperor by di-
vine right can set the machine in motion
and put in the field an army of 100000 men
to the neglect and perhaps the ruin of
every peaceful industry in Germany. 1t is
unnecessary to say that no person thinks
of establishing any such system in the
United States.
The only militarism we have or are likely
to have in this country Is the volunteer
system by which armies are raised from the
ranks of citizens. If these armies go abroad
they become propagandists of civilization.
advance agents of prosperity and repre-
sentatives of good government, as they have
recently in Cuba and Porto Rico, and will
soon be in the Philippines. No one can note
the work the Americans have done and are
doing in Cuba and Porto Rico without adj
hitting that miitarism as it is understood
and practiced in this country is a nursery
of progress and a school of civilization
The kind of militarism that establishes
postoffices and schools, builds roads, stamps
out disease, enforces sanitary regulations,
suppresses brigandage and establishes gov
eminent. law and order, will never hurt
anybody. That is American militarism.

SPEAKING OF THE MONUMENT.

Not long since the Journal suggested the
propriety and desirability of having the re-
naming sculptural work for the soldiers
monument put into the hands of American
artists. However favorably the public may
regard the great groups now In place. there
is no doubt that much disappointment was
felt when foreigner was engaged to fur
nish the designs for them, the more so that
the ideas TO be brought out were so dis
tinctively American and that the services
of any one of several American sculptors
of distinction might have been secured
There was also the feeling when the con-
tract went TO Schmitz that as he was an
architect and not sculptor there was dam
ger that for commercial reasons the work
would be turned over to inferior artists
The chief argument in favor of having
Schmitz furnish the groups was that as he
had constructed the shaft he would be more
likely than another to bring the parts 20 be
added into proper proportions, but. as it
happens, one of the most frequent criti-
cisms made, both by artists and by lay OBJ
servers. upon these groups is their lack
public is favorable on the whole
but it may be noted that
there is no such enthusiastic and irrepressi-
BILE admiration for these groups as the
great Shaw me norial. by St. Gaudens
arouses in all classes of spectators. But the
Journal has no disposition to criticise the
work now finished. 1t merely wishes to
smaller groups designed by one of the
American sculptors who have made and are
making great names for themselves. The
monument commission has. 1t is true, ad-
vertised for bids for this work, but up to
this time, we believe. only in the local
press. and not in the art journals. Without
discussing the propriety of advertising for
bids on art work or the possibility of any
sculptor of repute entering into that form
of competition, it certainly seems desirable
that the attention of such sculptors should
be attracted TO the work by more direct
means, If only for advisory purposes. This
may easily he done. The National Sculp-
ture Society of which J. Q. A. Ward is
president, and of which all the leading
sculptors of the country are members, has
a committee whose duty ii is to give adj
vice concerning art work whenever called
upon. They do not criticise what is
done; they make suggestions in re-
gard 10 what is to be done. The
help of this society and this commit
tee was sought by the government archi-
tect when the Congressional Library was
built, and it is largely due to their work
and their aid that the decorations of this
building are so highly artistic and so greatly
admired Surely it is worth while to have
advice from this quarter in regard to the
finishing touches which may add or detract
so much from the beauty of our great
war memorial.

was made by Rev. W. F. Richardson. OF
Kansas City. who virtually admitted that a
bishop would be a most useful man in that
church. He did not use the word bishop"
but spoke of the advantage which might be
derived from "a supervisor OF churches"
which Is the same thing, Ito protect our
churches against bad preachers and the

ardson further declared that I'VE are leav-
ing our churches defenseless to-day: we arc
leaving them to the wolves: / am not so
much afraid Of ecclesiasticism as OF the
false independently that is running thou
sands of our churches to-day. This is
remarkable admission for minister of a
church which believes that 1.-The ccngrega-
ton is the unit" but the report says that
the expression received generous applause.
A supervisor OF churches with power to pre-
vent unfit men from being made pastors
would prevent a large part of the quarrels
which frequently disgrace religion and
destroy the usefulness of churches under the
congregational system.

The Rage for Publicity.


G. s. Street, in Pail Mall Magazine.
Yes. we are growing very public. Lack OF
respect for private life and private friend
ship is a serious part of publicity-a part
which really matters. Stories and tittle-tat-
tie about the great, or the merely known,
matter far less when they do not proceed
from friends and relations, but we have a
sufficiency of them. The matter goes far
Their, indeed, for many papers are full or the
very ordinary proceedings OF people known
to nobody but their friends. but presumably
known by sight TO the strange witness; you
read how some young man, who Is very
likely minor clerk in a bank or subal-
tern in a militia regiment, has been seen
walking in Sloane street" Or you read how
some half-doZen people, whose reputation

suggest two improvements on this line. one
is that the Iames should be fictitious they
would mean quite as much as the others 10
the general public, and an advantage would
be that weird and fascinating stories might
be told about them without risk of libel &C
tions. The other Improvement Is that all
little societies and lotteries should hire
columns in newspapers TO be filled exclu-
sively with their picnics and at homes.
1t might end in free publicity being granted,
like education by the state. In this way we
all from footing TO Tennessee, would have
the qualification now enjoyed by the subal-
tern i'm Sloane street, of seeing our doings,
our shoppings and saunterings, and supper
parties, recorded in print, and so at last the
spirit of the age would find complete ex-
preston.

The outside world hears little of move
ments in the vast empire of Russia beyond
the fact that the Car cannot safely go
abroad and the secret detective is omnipres-
ent. Heretofore the hostile element has been
composed of mobiles who lost their estates
when serfdom was abolished. OF late there
are reports of revolutionary agitation in the
manufacturing districts, The workers have
learned to organize, and this organization is
along socialistic lines. Troops have been
sent to those districts to put down local in
surrections. Hundreds of strikers have been
arrested and much property has been de-
stroyed. In addition to the open discomfort
in the cities. famine is consuming the agri-
cultural people over wide areas. While
Russia has displayed great energy in ex-
panding it's territory. it has given no atten-
ton to the education and well-being Of the
masses. No people, according to ability to
pay, is so heavily taxed TO further the ambi-
tious schemes OF the small number of men
who constitute the government. Russia has
the largest army in the world, and large
navy has been created at immense cost. Its
immense Siberian railroad, designed for ma
tionel ACKNOWLEDGMENT, is and probably
always will be the cause of large national
outlay 1t has borrowed TO the limit that it
can find credit in the capitals of Europe.
Thus internally weak, Russia is rather
forced to ask the nations to agree to stop
further armament
