SECRETARY ROOTS PLAN OF Ma
TIONAL DEFENSE.

The department reports which are given
out in advance of the Presidents message
are of interest because they have doubtless
been submitted to and approved by the
President. In their main features, there
fore, they represent his views, and he Will
probably repeat their principal recon-
mendations In his message. Among the i'm
pOrtant matters treated in the report of
Secretary of war Root are the reorganiza-
ton of the militia and the establishment Of
officers schools in which young men in
civil life can be trained in military duties,
fitting them for immediate service in a
volunteer force if needed. This is the sec
retary's plan for making the militia and
volunteer system what it should be-a real
reliance in time of need. In connection
with this he recommends that Congress
provide for organizing. arming and disci-
plining the national guards OF the several
States in such a way as TO bring them in
touch with the regular army and make
them in effect a raine reserve fit for mill
tary duty and subject to call whenever
needed. These recommendations are the
first really practical ones looking to carry
ing out the American idea of depending on
militia and volunteers in case of war. This
has always been the policy of the govern
ment, and it has been a theme for praise
by those who imagine that an effective
army can be improvised or created out OF
raw recruits in a few days. Experience has
proved the fallacy of this theory time and
again. and the Nation has narrowly es-
capped serious dangers from following IL.
The old maxim about preparing for war
in time of peace should be construed to
mean real preparation. If the United States
is 10 maintain its position as a great power
and be prepared for self-defense or for
offensive operations on short notice it must
nave a more reliable dependence thar a
badly organized militia and volunteers from
civil life without any previous military
training. and Differed by men who do not
know any more of military matters than
the privates. Secretary Roots plan looks
to making the national guards of the
various States a real militia with a trained
reserve of citizen soldiers and men who
have been through the officers school. all
subject to military duty and to the call Of
the government in time OF need. The OBJ
lection that Will doubtless be raised by some
that this would promote the spirit of mill
tarism is unfounded. 1t would simply make
our militia and volunteer system what they
ought TO be. a reliable means of national
defense instead of an organization on paper
and an uncertain reliance in emergencies.
It is quite likely the President Will make
some recommendations along the same line.

PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING.

Any people that recognizes the existence
OF a Supreme Being who rules over the
world in righteousness and mercy can find
much for which to be thankful in every
passing year. This is specially true Of the
American people. We have been a specially
favored people in all the years, and in all
the years we have never been 50 signally
favored as during the year which is closing.
1t has been a season in which the wage
Garner has found fuller employment at
better wages than ever before in the history
Of the world. Business enterprises ave
been crowned with unusual success. In
fact, the material prosperity of this coun-
try is without precedent. while in other
lands there has been depression. While
there have been seasons in which crops
were more bountiful, there can be no lack
Of the necessaries Of life. In the midst of
such general prosperity and such a growth
of national prestige as has been ours the
past three or four years, there is danger
lest we forget the source of all blessing
Tha we may not forget it is well that our
forefathers established a day of thanks
giving and praise. And while it may be
wasted in frivolity and revelry by many,
there is reason TO believe that many thou
sands of people will have their minds drawn
by the festival to the Giver of all Good. and
will feel that spirit of t-hankfulness which
will cause them to express their praise and
thanksgiving in the words Of the Psalmist:
Bless the Lord. o my soul: and all that is
within me, bless his holy name.
Bless the Lord. o my sOul, and forget not all
his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who
healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who
crowneth thee with Iovingkindness and tender
mercies;
Who satisfeth thy mouth with good things;
so that thy youth is renewed like the eagles.
The Lord executeth righteousness and judg-
ment for all the oppressed.
He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts
unto the children Of Israel.
The Lord is merciful and gracious. slow to
anger, and plenteous in mercy.
He hath not dealt with US after our sins; nor
rewarded us according TO our iniquities.
The mercy Of the Lord is from everlasting to
everlasting upon them that fear him, and his
righteousness unto ohiIdren's children;
To such as keep his covenant. and to such as
remember his commandments to do them.
The Lord hath prepared his throne in the
heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
Bless the Lord. o my soul o Lord my God.
thou art very great; thou art clothed with honor
and majesty.
o give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his
name; make known his deeds among the people.
Praise We the Lord. o give thanks unto the
Lord; for he Is good: for his mercy endureth
forever.
Blessed be the name OF the Lord from this
time forth and forevermOre.

EXCITING L A RUSH.
Colds Win n Fierce Fight i'm which
Many Are Bruised.

HAMILTON, O., Nov. 2.-In spite of
bruises and bumps. ten pretty co-eds of
Miami University were in a happy frame of
mind last night, for they are the heroines
of the hercest flag rush ever seen at the
old school. Feminine stratagem won the
battle, in which the contestants were near
ly all soaked to the skin or suffered in
storms of missiles, and seventy-hve win
dows in the college bGilding were broken.
Several of the girls were confined to their
beds tonight as the result of the shock of
battle. Ii has been the custom at Miami for
half a century for the incoming freshmen.

the principal tower of the college and plant
their class flag upon ii.
Immediately after morning prayers yes
terday the freshmen, who have about a
dozen co-eds in their ranks. slipped up the
tower stairs and raised their colors on the
hagpOle. Then the men let one of their
number over the edge with a bucket of
paint to decorate the tower. The co-eds
were left on the top landing to guard the
pass. They had logs of wood TO roll down
on invaders, and some of them had bricks
and stones. The painting was we'll under
way, and the freshmen flag was waving
i~mpudently when the sophomores learned
that something was doing. They rushed up
the six flights of tower stairs hoping TO
take the freshmen by surprise. and so
sweep them off their feet, but the vigilant
freshmen coed sentries sent the invaders
back with a volley of blocks and stones
that forced an inglorious retreat.
Several of the s~ophomores were severely
bruised and trampled, and il seemed that
their cause was lost when one Of the girl
members gave the class council a suSges-
ton that won the day. There was a fire
plug at the building and a long coil of
hose in the hail. 1t was only a minutes

insignificant compared with that Of an
abundant and permanent supply of cheap
coal. A distinctive coal road penetrating
the heart OF the great coal fields to the
south of us, controlled in the interests of
the city and perpetually guarded against
absorption or consolidation with any other
line or system. has been a cherished dream
Of progressive men of the city for forty
years past, and. Notwithstanding the city's
many other advantages. would probably be
the most potent single factor in its future
growth. 1t follows. Of course. that every
possible effort, individual, organized and
municipal. should be made to secure so
great a benefit, and that no personal. sem
timental. local, sectional or neighborhood
interest should be allowed to stand in the
way of it's acquisition. If possible, each
interest should be placated, but if that
cannot be done the road should be secured
anyhow on the best terms possible for all
concerned and with the least injury pos
sible to those who have, or think they
have. grounds Of opposition. The question

more easily than IL can now. Time will
only make it more difficult. If the road
had been built thirty or forty years ago
it could have gained entrance to the city
far more easily than it can now, and it's
benefits during that period, if it had con-
tinued to be managed as an independent
coal road, would rave been beyond COM
petition. Great as has been the growth of
the manufacturing interests of the city
during the last thirty years, it might have
been much greater with coal as cheap as it
could be furnished by an independent coal
road. 1t has been a long time since any
addition was made to the city's railroad
facilities. In this regard it has been for
many years past a finished city. Different
movements looking to the construction Of
new lines nave been opposed by individuals
or neighborhoods as vigorously as if they
thought any addition to the present rail-
road facilities of the city would be an in
jury. If the present movement for the
construction of a coal road fails it viii
probably be many years before the project
will be revived, and then opposition to a
new road entering the city viii be stronger
than ever. Now is the time to settle the
matter. 1t should be done on as just and
fair a basis as possible, but it should be
settled.
