n PROPOSAL to reduce the English army is

proposition to reduce the navy is nothing short OF
blasphemy against the constitution. The liberal gov
reduction of the army is concerned, the cabinet ap-

It hopes to have the support Of Germany as well.
The proposals are to cut off 10000 men from the
English army, from the italian 10000 and from the
army Of France equal number.
the navy stands on another footing Great Britain
has always chung to the theory that the empires
naval units shall equal those of the next two powers
The German program is such extensive one that,
in the past few years England has with all her

Britain g guarantee of good faith in the matter Of
army reduction. The latter is not vital question
with the continental powers England might reduce
her army considerably without affecting the question
Of continental disarmament. But when she agrees

Beaconsfed and Cavour ruled the old world it had
place in the plans of cabinets. The continent

today are looking at not special field Of
national activity but dread last resort. They
are feeling the taxes of ornaments more bitterly
because their attitude toward the institution Of

in perspective. The British cabinet has taken ad-
vanced ground but it need not be assumed that the
cabinet is ahead Of the people this question It is
more likely that the politicians heard the groanings
of the burden-bear before they proposed the

The Clock of Civilization.

HEY are making clocks in the east now which.
II thru an ingenious adaptation Of the photograph
idea, speak the hour instead of striking it, The value
of this sort Of clock cannot be overestmated. Take
the case Of the young making late call. He
has thru heredty and practice been schooed
to disregard the familiar dingdong Of the oldfash
Toned clock But when he hears g Midnight sounded
forth in grave and heavy voice he is apt to sit
up and take notice Or suppose he musters the
to withstand this shock the voice of at am,
nqirng whether Manda has put the crock for the
milk, will surely finish him.
AS addition to the alarm clock this mechanism
will become invaluable. It is well known that trav
cling sometimes miss their trains thru the alleged
failure of the beboy to call them. At least this is
the report they make to the house. But the supern-
tendent Of orators has the edge any such plea
All he has to do is to supply each travelling with
new clock which will announce in stentorian tones
at the proper hour: & Train time Get up and break
for the breakfast room.'' w.
What boon, too, it will be to the farmer who
man out Of his remorsoless slnmbers Hereafter he
will set the clock oppositea few remarks in his own
well-known voice on the value of early rising The
hired will throw himself against the door in his
hurry to get out, while the farmer will until
the late hour Of $3.50.
There are many uses in the world for such clock.
1t is more to be desired than the grandfather kind,
which will not accommodate themselves to the shelves
provided for them, the hickory dckory kind which
have from time immemorial served merely running
tracks for mice. What should like to know is, how
much such clocks have done for civilization in COM
parison with which in treble shrek will inform
Johnny that if he does not tumble down those stairs
in "a time father will reach him?

AMERICAS APPIAN WAY

'Honk Honk!'' is the slogan Of vast army of
automobile associations and good road folk all over
the country who are pledged to support movement
for an American Appian Way to begin at Washington
D. c. and follow the trail of the historic national pike
thru the passes of the Appalachans, the Ohio
thru the great middle west to St. Louis and them in
two great highways, to the Pacific coast. One Of
these highways will Montana to Puget Sound and
the other will thru Denver and Salt Lake. over the
Rockies and Sierras, to San Francisco
Representative Pearre Of Maryland has set the
ball rolling by introducing bill in congress providing
for the reconstruction Of the old Cumberland pike
This road is prehistoric. It originally "trace"
worn deep across the Appalachians by the pounding
hoofs of millions Of Buffaloes who WERE in reality
trace and made 1t trail; after them came the
AngoSaxo hunters and trappers and finally In their
wake swept tn emighty tide Of immigration.
In 1902 Jefferson signed bill for the survey of
the national pike The first road contract was let in
1911 and the road completed in 1873 In 1926 it
was extended from Wheeling to st. Louis. Clay the
great champion Of the road and Of the policy of in
ternal improvements, all his life popular favorte

natives from far and to the crossroads and ham

served as taverns and afforded shelter to many dis
tinguished travellers from foreign lands among whom
were Dickens, Mrs. Trollope, Prince Macmillan of
Wien, Lafayette, Jenny Lind and Santa Ana
At its last session the Maryland legislature made
appropriation for the reconstruction as boulevard
of the road between Baltimore and Washington When
the time comes why should not the evergreen state

Why Not a Square Deal?

IN a statement published elsewhere today Mayor
=. Jones examines the sensational publication made
by contemporary about the prevalence Of capital
crimes in Minneapolis and shows how very untruthful
and unfair it is and how l-advised 1t is to publish
gard to conditions here in Minneapolis. The wrong
done to the city is the serious aspect of the
Regard for such considerations the: good Of
consid which perhaps is not surprising where
the proposition gravey discussed that crime should
be- tolerated and criminals given license in order that
out Of good will they may betray other criminals
and valuable aids to the police in discrirnin
ating effort to prevent crime.
That is proposition which suggests return to
the days Of graft and wide openness, which of
us have hoped past forever For Minneapolis.
We have made a very distinct advance here since
that time aho it may not be appreciated in all quar-
tiers afford real satisfaction to everybody Indeed
some have way which is not misunderstood or un-
noted Of showing how much they are out of sympathy
with the elevated tone Of municipal life in Minneapolis
The square deal has good many friends nova

How to Build a Party.

WHEN Secretary Taft told the republicans Of

be stronger before the people every federal office
were filled by democrat he undoubtedly uttered a
profound political truth, but which will not ap-
peal to the place hunters There is class of parti
zans whom the people hold in lively suspicion
than federal offceholders. Even in republican
tonal conventions they recognized as element
Of weakness rather than Of strength When the re-
pubicans, meeting in Minneapolis in 1892, renomi-
mated President Harrison it remarked that there
too many United States marshals, collectors Of
and customs receipts among the supporters Of
the president in the convention. These men.

of the party been with the administration
those masses would have sent up Harrison dele
gates from the ranks. The election Of many fed
eral offceholders taken evidence that the
administration could not afford to leave single state
to its free will.
The thing applies in state politics. Office
holders do not make good delegates. Their motives
under suspicion In the south the republican party
conventions largely made up Of federal job
holders They do not appeal to the business interests
Of the states. They do not attract the young voters

There local affairs. There only federal jobs
and the old oficeseekers having trust ring drawn
about these depend class Of voters except
those who like themselves would live from the gov

however, that the reverse Of this is the truth.

Il Police Service III America.

THAT the police service Of the great cities Of
- America is inadequate receives startling soon
frmation from New York, where large surety com
pany has recently declared it will issue no more bur
glary policies nor outstanding contracts Inc
reasons given for this that the conditions in New
York are abnormaly bad; that burglary is becoming
an organized industry that this crime is increasing
and convictions decreasing and Insurance IS being
carried at steady loss. #
The police commission, while SOOTHING at the action
OF the company has confessed that a large part OF
New York is only perfunctorily patrolled.
~ The New York complaint is similar to that OF
other Cities Expenditures for police protection do not
keep pace with the rapid increases in population
Minneapolis has recently had warning that here the
expenditures for police protection do not keep pace
with the growth Of the city. The greater part Of
Minneapolis is but "perfunctorily patrolled." The
wages Of policemen have not changed materially in
twenty years and for about the length OF time
there has been fixed tenure Of service in the force
Its members have often been subject to variations OF
city politics. The growth Of Minneapolis warrants the
assumption that the police force totally inadequate
IN numbers that the provisions for removing worn and
aged men from the force are insufficient that the
salaries are too low and the tenure Of place is too
uncertain. s.t& *#at @.&.
To obtain scientific results we shall have to aban-
don speedily the idea that we still in the village
state and assume more metropolitan attitude to-
ward duty to protect life and property The police
force OF the city under every conscientious admin
lstraton in the past has given much greater protec
tion than could reasonably have been expected. But
this is no reason for assuming that it will always
continue to 90 SO without complete and
proper organization the merit system. i

States Rights.

SE~HERE congress which dld thngs
4 which did not incur the anathema Of the
democratic party that portion of it which cings
to the doctrine of states rights And curousy enough
the democratic party always cites Thomas Jefferson
as the exponent Of those rights, atho he admitted
that he stretched the constitution when he bought
Louisiana. It does not matter that the democratic
party's record is inconsistent that when 1t elected
q president it happily elected man who OVERRIDE
states rights by sending troops into a sovereign
state-something republican president ever did In
time Of peace when out of power 1T returns to the
harp Of states rights and the tune Of miserable fore
bodngs.
The hfty-ninth congress passed three bills which
the extremists in the democratic party regard with
doleful countenances, the rate BILL the meat lnsPec
Hon bill and the pure food bill. The Philadelphia
cratic newspaper quarrels with all three Of these bills
the ground that it has ''never been shown that
the states themselves could not effect these reforms
True it had not been ''shown, - but it gravely
suspected everywhere except in the Record office that
the could not legisate interstate
Their jurisdiction being limited they could effect none
Of the reforms aimed at in the curtailment Of the
power of the railroads.
Yet when all is said congress by its legislation
did not destroy the power of the states Their rail
road commissions are lively and their dairy
and food departments still actively engaged IN
their etvi1izing labors There has been invasion
Of the powers Of the states They are as disable as
they ever WERE What the states could do in Jeffer
sons time they do today. What they could not
do then congress has undertaken to do. This
is just what the federal constitution contemplated
The last democratic candidate for president showed
his comprehension Of the problems of his day when
he declared that the common law could do all that
necessary to curb the trusts. He was as unsuc-
oessful in convincing the people that he knew what
he talking about the democratic party will be
in convincing the public that every time congress
passes law to protect the people in their rights it
traverses the rights Of the states. Movements on
parallel lines do not traverse one another.

The Dreyfus Drama,

I'm THE summer Of 1894 a young officer of the
1 French army suddenly called before his
superors and accused Of the crime Of treason against
the country in the selling Of military secrets to
rival power. Protesting his innocence he WAS
fronted with written evidences of guilt apparently
convincing, and after trial by court-martial was
adjudged guilty, degraded publicly by having the
buttons cut from his uniform, his sword seized and
broken in his presence and himself driven thrice like
a dog around the parade followed by the maddenng
roll Of the disgracing drum He Immediately
deported to the Devils island the coast Of French
Guinea and there confined in cage. What Captain
Dreyfus suffered mentally he has made record Of in
his letters to his wife, which have become classic
temptation Of unjust fate. But Dreyfus did not
tears arrested his perilous drift toward insanity He
at length with the aid Of his wife, interested Justice
the extent that he accorded trial. Again
he was convicted, but the second Judgment no
punishment prescribed. He was left free in
France. He could work at will the problem Of
rehabilitatng his reputation. The campaign for JUS
tice was not ended It did not end until Thursday of
this week when the high court Of France annulled
the conviction Of Dreyfus and declared that the docu
mentary evidence upon which he was convicted was
all forged. Dreyfus is to be restored to the army
with the rank he held when convicted. He will be
eligible to promotion tho he had never been out
of the army. The man who stood by him, Colonel
Picquart will also be restored.
Thus France at last wakes from long delirium
of insensate frenzy Thus the family Of Dreyfus
energies at length from the shadow Of an almost in
supportable affection. Thus it is once more demon
