The Panama canal negotiations and the
litigation for possession of the Minneapolis
Times continue to drag.
Not Afraid of It.

The Dick militia bill was yesterday or
ate by the military affairs committee Of
that body, on the motion Of Senator Cock
rill Of Missouri. Senator Cockrill has been
among those democrats who have pro
fessed to be fearful of the total subjec-
ton of the state militia to the federal
government. They have opposed the sew
eral bills heretofore introduced providing
for a larger annual appropriation by con-
gress for the promotion of efficiency In
the militia, and declined to take rational
and progressive view that, If the original
intent of our militia organization Is to
be carried out; there must be such con-
nection between it and the general gov
ernment that when it's services are re-
quired, the organized militia will take it's
place beside the regular army and present
one mogeneous front.
It Is singular that so many people take
a narrow view Of the design Of our militia
organization, regarding it as state or
local interest, or, at best, as only a Sec
ond line for national defense. The ques-
ton is whether we shall be content with
the regular army of 60, 900 men or supple
ment that force with the organization Of
a we'll selected, clothed, instructed, armed
and disciplined body of militia who can,
at once, go afield and show itself ready
for instant action.
1t Is to approximate to such degree
Of preparation that the militia bill ap-
tDo
devised. It provides for an ample appro-
preparation by congress for the proper
arming, equipment and drill Of the militia.
Instead Of the greater portion Of our mill
tia appearing armed with RIFLES Of obso-
lete type. and inferior otherwise in equip
ment, it Is proposed to make militia and
regular army homogeneous whole in
drill, equipment and discipline. the state
being required to adopt such changes as
are necessary to produce this result, and
changes which by no means conflict with
the legitimate rights Of the state, and
which ought to be accepted willingly and
with a high degree of national pride, indi-
eating deep appreciation Of the fact that
the American citizen IS proud that he
has a national as we'll as a state duty to
perform.
It should DO remembered that congress
is empowered by the constitution to, PRO
vide for organizing, arning and discip-
lining the militia" Congress has not yet
adequately performed that duty, be-
cause the nation back Of congress
has not been sufficiently insistent
that it shall be done. The militia was
designed for something more than state
duty The largest patriotism was en-
bodied in the original proposition.

A Socialist on Socialism.
To the Editor of The Journal.

10 Tie IOltOI VI uc
An article on the socialist movement
that appeared in T h e Journal Of the
22d ultino disclosed at least two interest
ing facts, namely, that the rising tide of
socialism in America and Europe can not
longer be ignored by It's opponents, and
that the writer Of said article has a very
crude idea Of tn actual principles or
which socialism is based The socialist
republic is theoretical form of Industrial
organization whose practicability remains
to be demonstrated. Is that cause for
objection to the movement? If SO, please
name some form Of government or or
ganization that exists to-day or ever did
exist, which was not once a theory in the
minds of men! Every move forward in
the worlds history has been made, not by
the assistance of the dominant class, but
in spite Of it; therefore, the opposition
encountered from the benehciaries of our
present system is no argument against the
final triumph of socialism. The socialist
forms his opinions, not through ignorance
Of the peculiarities that exist in human
ma tnre, but as a result of carefully study
ings,those peculiarities. He deals chiefly
