\ GREAT STANDING ARMY?


A report comes from Washington to
the effect that the war department is
| hurrying plans for the naturalization
| Of the State militia.
The local corps are to be trained FOR
war by annual service at great man
euver camps. The regulars and The
state troops are to be merged into a
thoroughly organized and efficient
whole
An act of Congress approved Jan. q.
1908. provided that within FIVE years
the uniformed militia OF the various
States and territories should be crgan-
lied. armed and disciplined like rcgu-
lars. trained in joint maneuvers with
regular troops.
Subsequent Legislation has strength
ened the Federal authority over state
militia, until as Gen. Oliver now as
serts, There are no longer any militia
men, but United States Volunteers out
of which. in combination with regular
troops the War Department plans to
create virtual standing army $50
600 strong"
Col. Glenn, a recognized expert in
military affairs. explains that we arc
to have an army of $4,000 men, and
that we ought TO have $4,000 men To-
Gated in at least eight camps Of in
struction in different parts of the Unit
ed States
The Colonel Enthusiastically be-
lieyes that for an efficient national de-
Tense every able bodied citizen shall he
subject to the call of his government
and shall have received such previous
training as will render him an efficient
instrument OF national defense instead
of a menace when called upon and
placed in ignorant. unframed and un-
wieldy bodies called armies. though in
reality mobs, that are menace to
themselves as we'll as to society.
This military authority concludes in
these words;
For these reasons It is very much
hoped that the Secretary of War has
devised some scheme that will insure
the instruction OF all our able bodied
citizens. II he has not done SO and
only contemplates an army OF 25o,010
ment ~ national defense, then his
scheme Is most defective. An army of
100000 men is not sufficient 10 form
a first lire OF defense for either the
Atlantic, Pacific or Gulf seacoast."
Just what America requires large
standing army for is not clear That
every adult, able-bodied citizen should
virtually become soldier In time of
piece IN order to prepare for an unlikely
war Is. as we understand it, an un-
American conception. Unlike navy,
an army can be created and drilled
quickly. Considering the remote posi-
bility OF an attempted invasion by any
foreign power. the proposition for a
large standing army In the United
States with reserves on the plan of
Germany or France. seems very
strange.

no DISCUSS THE BONDS.

ON Friday evening q mass meeting
OF citizens Interested in the proposed
bend issue has been called, by a com
rliltee, TO convene in the twentieth
ward Amusement hail This meeting
should be well attended. The TAX
nayers all over the City should be
given chance to express themselves
OH ah issue of vital Importance TO
them
Tho more tho bond issue is consid-
cred. the more objectionable 1t becomes
as solution Of the financial problem
The money is asked FOR under the pre-
tense that 1t is needed for improve
ments." AT the same time it Is adj
mitted tina, one Of these improve
mentsp consists in the wiping out of
an Illegally created Indebtedness.
The law is very plain ON this point.
No debt in excess OF the taxes for the
current year shall be created UNI
less the proposition to create such
debt. shall have been submitted to a
vote OF qualified electors. That being
the law, II Is clear that the debt cree
ated during the last so-called "Amen-
can" administration, through extraNa-
ganoe and ignorance. Is Illegal Can
the tax payers consistently come to the
rescue of the law breakers with an
other loan?
Further. the promise is made that
some Of the money will be used for
the construction of an aqueduet. That
cannot be done legally. The consttu-
ton provides that city. after having
submitted the question to the decision
OF the voters may incur an indebted
ness, within certain limits. FOR sup-
plying such city or town with water,
artiticial lights or sewers, when the
works for supplying such water. light
and sewers, shall be owned and con-
trolled by the municipality Aque-
ducts are not Included in the purposes
tor which the indebtedness of the city
can be Increased. No matter how
much needed, they cannot be built
with funds procured that way. The
citizens are, therefore, urged by the
so-called American" administration to
authorize 1t TO borrow money to be
used for Illegal purposes. They are
urged by the so-called American adj
mimstration TO set aside the Constitu-
zion of the state, just as the gang
behind the scenes demanded that the
United States Senate disregard the
Constitution of the land, in the Smoot
case. Can anyone believe for a mo-
nent that vote for bonds for Illegal
purposes would be pronounced legal
by the courts? And We fully believe
that II the party should succeed, by
the tricks and manipulatlons familiar
10 its dictators. to outvote the bona
hde taxpayers, the matter would be
taken into the courts. There is
prospect that a vote for bonds at this
time, while law breakers are in evil
denee In the affairs of the City. would
mean law suits instead OF improve
ments."
The question ought to be fully dis
russed at public meetings of tax-pay-
ers, in order that general interest be
aroused and the vote be cast intelli-
gently.

THE MAYOR is CORRECT.

The position of Mayor Bransford In

srlcan party dictators ON the appoint

IS strictly correct. The Mayor puts the
Interest of the people above party in

The Tribune owns up to having de-
lirlum on the bond question. That can
be believed. 1t says OF the Big Cot
tonwood conduit as contracted for by
the Morris administration: "Of course,
where there was no water to run
through, 1t would not make much diff
ference whether the conduit would
carry water or not" insinuating that
no water was procured during the adj
ministration mentioned. The fact Ia
that the so-called American adminis-
tration has not secured one drop of
water for that conduit Every drop
now flowing through 1t was bought by
an honest administration. II Is easy
TO believe that the paper Is suffering
from dellrium.

The Editor Of the Magazine OF His
tory is pursuing violators of the rules
on smoking on the street cars of New
York. and some denounce him as I'M
manly for doing so.
Commenting on this controversy, the
Chicago Record Herald tells the fol-
lowing story Of ungallant conduct,
which may be duplicated in any city,
in almost any public place:
Some time ago a resident of this
city got on Madison street car with
his wife. II was an open car. and the
two passengers seated themselves well
toward the front and facing each 9TH
err The woman sat next to a man
who was smoking n cigar and who was
at least three seats ahead of the place
where he should have been under the
rules. II happened that the smoke
was very offensive to the woman, and
his attention was called 10 the fact by
her escort and to- the other fact that
he was not In the place reserved for
smokers, Upon this, his indignation
knew no bounds He advised the
other man to attend To his own bust
ness and grew moro and more wrath
full NJ his impertlnence. Naturally
harmony was not promoted by this
exhibition, and the conductor was
summoned to enforce the rules.
Many men have no regard for the
rights of their fellow-mcn. Being
free" American citizens. themselves,
no matter how many vices they are
the slaves Of, they consider It un-
necessary TO inquire Into the rights OF
others, They are oblivious OF the
fact that though they are endowed
with arms ana have an undoubted
right TO swing them. yet. other people
have noses, and the right to swing tho
arm ends lust where the nose Of the
other fellow begins. But for the fact
that 80 many are entirely obliyous OF
this simple, but important truth. there
would not he SO much friction in this
world
