 Too accustomed have many become to thinking of our national guards men as consisting of disiointed groups of young men playing at soldering At best their usefulness is thought of potential nature, lt Is believed that In some mysterious way they could be whipped Into such shape by hercu lean efforts as to be useful in tlmc might have been true in some small degree of some of our mllitiamen a decade or so ago, but, with each pass Ing year, they are showing themselves at such outbreaks as this at Spring field to be a practicable and formidi- ble force, Especially has this been the case since the adoption by most of the states of the new federal law UHiiN ihk Np Nilt IhAlpilhl kudlii uliifl which 1t comes regulations uniform with the regular army.
 We may be accustomed here In peaceful New England to thinking that no such disturbance as that at Springfield would be possible un- doubtedly the good people of Spring. neld with the spirit Lincoln slum- berlng within their city, had as good reason to believe the same way. But we cannot say when a New England 1 city may find itself overrun with such ! a race-war. Then will spring up the great need for such an efficient na- ! tional guard. The recent work of our own New Haven boys at the strike in ! Waterbury Is evidence of what they might be expected to do.
 The average citizen Is apt to look upon the policemen as the exempllH- cation cf the strong arm of the law The position of the national guards men Is higher than theirs, It is when the police show themselves utterly In. adequate for the situation, and wher local governments break down, tha' the latter are called,in and are glver extreme powers, such as policemen seldom or never are allowed, amont them permission to shoot to kill The, are young men of the highest patriot ism.

THE WORLD FOR BRYAN.

Last week the Baltimore Sun bolted Mir Bryan and declared itself strongly for MT. Taft. This week the New York World declares itself for Mir. Bryan The latter's friends and supporters may be disposed to smile with pleasure. They cannot we'll say that they have come out ahead in this little prelim- mary skirmish, but they may feel that they have broken even" The infu- ence of each of the two newspapers may be considered approximately the same. each In it's field. Bryanesque par tisans, then, may believe the political battle has much the same status as at the beginning of last week and that each party has captured pawn in the political chess-game but neither has gained a decided advantage.
 If newspapers are to be matched of one against the other in this way, it is only fair to look the Worlds political gft-horse in the mouth and decide up on the true worth of the Worlds pres ent backing. Allowances must always be made in political fights for changes of opinion. The man or the newspaper that Is not able to change his or It's way of reasoning when there is provo cation for so doing, is bigotted, Yet the man or the newspaper that argues hard on one side of the fence one day and on the other side quite. as vocifer- ously the next, loses not a little of his or its persuasive force. The question of sincerity naturally comes up That is the case with the World now.
 Few papers ridlculed the idea of nom mating MT. Bryan for the democratic standard bearer this year more severe ly than did the New York World. Why then the change? Last February the World was printing daily cartoons de- picting the efforts of Bryan and his prairie schooner to reach their Pike g Peak Editorially the World spoke of Mir, Bryans twelve years of demagogy and defeat" and of him as "the fore most populist In America, "cripping the United states courts and counter acting their jurisdiction over questions arising under the conStituton. Chal-
 lenging MT Bryan straight to his face
 the World said; "A man of your abil-
 ity and address, Mr. Bryan, cannot
 forever assail constitutions, courts
 law, wealth, property, credit, nationa
 honor, and private faith without build
 ing up following which will have tt
 be reckoned with sometime. He canno
 forever inhame social discontent with , out creating class hatred, and sowins

 . And what Is the Worlds reason fo ; changing? It says 1t cannot stant Roosevetism or MT Taft, who 1t call 5 Mr Rooseyelt's proxy so that 1t | ! forced to support the democratic tick |, ct within the limits of true democra cy."

WHEN THE POLICE FAIL.

The unpleasant lessons that are to be learned from the recent Springfield outbreaks have been pointed out. It has been shown that the belief so long held that racial antiquities and inter- were solely confined to the south, has been a false one, that the latter may happen quite as readily in the sup posedly peace-loving north, and that the negro problem is a national, not 8 sectional, problem. But there is at least one pleasing lesson that the Springfield disorders may teach. IL
