of naval volunteers. The reason is obvious.
A state needs q military force for its own in
ternaI protection, quite apart from any obhga-
uon in the way of national defence. Every
commonwealth has a military staff and per-
manent guard organization. But no state sup
ports navy OF its own, except, perhaps, Tor
the patrol Of oyster grounds or some other rou-
tine police duty. Having no ships of its own
and no use for ships in military sense, state
is likely to look naval guard as mere
luxury But though not so valua bic for strictly
local purposes, naval militia is perhaps more
serviceable from a national point Of view tnan
guard of landsmen. 1t takes longer TO make
good sailor than good soldier, and the ma
terial on which we have to draw for seamen
is, unfortunately. very limited. Either for Of
fence or defence the navy is our more lmpor-
tant weapon. and any scheme by which trained
naval volunteers can be made available IN case
of war deserves eneoura cement II put dl-
rectly in touch with the standing heet naval

THE NAVAL MILITIA BILL.

The Naval Militia bill, which the House of
Representatives has Just passed, aims ar re-

which fulfilled an important function during
The ~er with Spain and which In any future
WEI VIII perform an equally valuable service
In the war with Spain four thousand officers

as organizations into the navy, but, though

charged with harbor defence, with the super
vision Of mines and the maintenance Of q coast
signal service. Their partial training fitted
them 20 serve as an efficient second line and
thereby leave the fighting force OF the navy free
for foreign duty.
In both the army and the navy much friction
was encountered in fusing the regulars and vol

Were state organizations. pure and simple, and
could be called out only to repel invasion They

Then the militia laws were modified and the
state guards were brought into working rela-

the provisions Of the Dick law Of 1903 the state
troops form an auxiliary corps which can be
mustered into the federal service and the two
bodies now have the same equipment and dis

LAST WORDS AT PANAMA.

1t may be assumed that the last words have
now been spoken. so far as the American gov
ernment is concerned, about the elections in
Panama next Sunday and the Sunday following.
The United States did not seek nor desire to say
anything on the subject. The view of this
country that Panama should conduct her
own elections. not only without interference,
but also without even advice admonition
from any other But some of the Panamans
would not have it so. Reviving among them
selves. against their own countrymen, the parti-
san rancor which disfigured and deformed the
old Colombian regime. they have for many
months been soliciting and all but demanding
American intervention in some form. Their
first plan for forcible control by this coun-
try. From that they receded to a scheme of
mere observation and supervision Finally, as
a last resort they suggested a secret spying upon
the electoral methods of the ishmuS.
The improperly and mpracticability of these
schemes have been repeatedly pointed ont. Sec
retary Roots letter to the Liberal Directorate.
which was made public few days ago, must be
regarded as putting a final quietus upon them.
His conclusion, thouShtfuly and deliberately
reached. is precisely what we assumed it would
be-to wit. that the only appropriate "cOnfiden-
tial agent of this government who can look
over the situation" and make authoritative rep
resentatfons to the Panaman government is the
American Minister to Panama. whose action in
the matter WILL of course he conformable with
the usages of diplomatic intercourse between
nations We may be sure that Mr.. Magoon
knows, or will know, all that is TO be known in
the situation; that his conduct will be governed
by strict propriety and that the influence of
the United States as it is eXerted by and through
him--so far as it may httlngly he exerted-will
be altogether for "a free vote and All honest
count"
We cannot imagine that any responsible lead
ers in Panama, whether in the government party
or the opposition, ignorant uncertain Of
the attitude of the United States They must
know that this country expects them to conduct
their domestic affairs in a manner befitting a
free and Independent state. They must also.
however, realize what their own constitution
and laws SO clearly set forth, that a peculiar
relationship exists between Panama and the
United States, and that it would be- Incompatible
with that relationship for the isthmian repub-
! lie to revert to the revolutionary and semi
anarchcal conditions that formerly prevailed In
] that country. The last word of the United
, States is substantially, that II expects tn 1nn
