WASHINGTON Militia a Model.

All in all, army officers are inclined
to hold up the Washington national
guard as a model for those of other
states. 1t is conceded that no state
militia is more proficient, in COMPARE
son to it's size; none better organized
and none. more ready or better equip
ped to enter the service of the govern
ment at a moments notice And
what is equally assuring. the national
government is advised that every
member of the militia in Washington
is ready and willing to serve at call.
There is no member of that organi-
cation. SO it is reported, who is un-
willing to respond in time of emer-
gency. Willingness to so serve is one
requisite for service in this model or
ganization.

Although the obligation of officers

Iient has been on the statute books
more than hundred Years, and of
the organized militia OF national
guard for nearly forty and the neg
icet 70 s." respond punishable by such
penalties ass "a court martial may di-
rect. experience has shown that this
obligation is theory rather than
fact. It is recalled that at the time
of the Spanish war the proportion of
the membership of militia organ!za-
tiOns who actually responded to Sucn
calls of the president bore Il very
small proportion to those actually
carried IN the company rolls. Many
members of militia organizations
with family or business connections
which Woui suffer by their absence
from home We're excused from service
in the Spanish war. About % per
cent of those who volunteered were re-
Jected upon physical examination. and
others were discharged for physical
disabilities after they had once been
mustered into the volunteer service.
1t is estimated that only about 80 per
cent of the membership of the original
companies that offered their services
during the Spanish war were actually
received into the service of the United
States.
1t so happened that that war was
one in which a great number of volun-
teers were not needed. and troops
were furnished as speedily as re-
Quired. Had the emergency been
greater. the demand for troops more
pressing and more immediate. the gov
eminent would have been embarrassed
on account of the militia companies

ship of the organized militia had not
understood that they We're under OBJ
Iizations under their contract of en-
listment to respond to call of the
president. nearly 90 per cent declared
themselves prepared and willing to re-
spond promptly to such call.
But even this proportion is not sat
isfactory and the department will not
be satisfied until it has reduced the
entire militia to dependable basis,
until every officer and enlisted man
in the organized militia understands
that he is obligated to serve the ma
tional government on call and is ready
and willing to perform such service.
The aim of the department is to break
down the idea that prevails III some
sections that the militia is primarily
4 social organizations, and that mill
tarY duties are OF secondary M
portance. The reorganlzed militia is
distinctiVely an auxiliary fighting

Praise for Washington Guard.
In this connection it may be re-
highly pleased with the organization
of the militia of the state of Washing
ton. For some time this body has
been as near the ideal militia as any
in the United States. The Washing
ton militia has been built up on the
national idea. as a purely militia or
ganization, modelled very closely after
the regular army of the United States.
Army officers have repeatedly praised
the rigidity of the examinations
through which applicants for admis-
sion to the Washington militia have
been subjected. They assert that it
insures an effective fighting force; one
that will stand the regular army ex-
animation in time of emergency, and
one that will not have to be reorgan-
lied because of countless disabled
Commends Officers.
The manner of appointment and
promotion of officers in the Washing
ton militia is equally commended. In
so many states it has been the Gus
tom to elect national guard officers.
The result has been that popular fell
lows have secured the commissions,
while in many instances the proficient
soldiers are confined to the ranks or

Difference BETWEEN ENGLISH

English trusts are comparatively
harmless affairs. and cannot and have
not arbitrarily advanced prices except
in a few instances, like that OF brass

give some credit to Almighty God for

that the percentage he was going to
credit to the Almighty was SO small

CARL ScHURz FOR PARKER
German American Leader Says Tele-

The following letter addressed TO

has caused no little satisfaction to
party leaders. because ii shows that
the powerful independent element Of
the east is returning 10 the democratic
fold:
Not as a party man, but as an in
dependent. feel bound to express 10
you my sincere respect The prin.
ciples and opinions you are known 10
hold as 20 the currency. imperialism.

ly commend themselves to men OF my
way o. thinking. But II. as an inde.
pendent. ! ever was doubling for what
candidate my duty commanded me to
vote, your action on the terms Of your
nomination has completely solved that
doubt IL has rendered to the republic
a double service Of incalculable value.
no man can honestly deny that II
has demolished the last pretext for
still treating the gold question as a
live issue Of party controversy, and
that it has thus relieved the business
community Of an element OF peculiarly
unhealthy agitation and dangerous I'M
certainty. This is so evident that any
attempt to continue that agitation
artifcially for mere party advantage
must be condemned by every good cit
izen as absolutely wicked-indeed.
as little less than criminal.
And. second. your manly declara.
tion that you would accept the offered
nomination for the presidency only II
the offer came IN harmony with your
sense OF public duty has set up before
the American people one Of those
noble standards OF moral courage and
civic virtue Of which our public. life
stands so much in need The higher
You lift that standard the higher you
will rise in the esteem and confidence
OF your countrymen. and the more
surely they will h.d you worthy Of
their highest trust"
