the association and introduced In the
Senate by the President of the AS
sociation, General Charles Dick, sena'
tor from Ohio, and in the House by the
Honorable Halvor Steenerson, OF
Minnesota, chairman of the House
Militia committee.
The new law has for its most Inn
portant feature the removal OF the
nine months limitation heretofore
placed on militia war service. and now
places as a limitation the existing en-
listments of the man. II further pro
National Guard whenever the Presi
dent, under the direction of Congress,
shall call forth the militia, anywhere
that he may choose TO employ that
force, either within or without the
borders of the United States. Provis
ion is made, by an appropriation which
shall not exceed $4,000, 900 in any year
to fully equip the National Guard for
active duty at federal expense.
Under the terms of the law Of 1908
great improvement in efficiency mas
gone on in the National Guard, and il
is expected that the new law will
raise the standard still higher. Onder
it's operation, the United States, fol
the first time in its history, will have
piece force which will be of immedi
ate use when war comes.
The tendeIcy of the American peo
pie is for volunteer armies and against
large standing army. The trans
formation of the National Guards as
it stands into a volunteer army ready
for service anywhere adds to the first
line of defense for war just that mum
ber of men which the force contains
Thus, the first line will consist of the
Regular Army and the National Guard
behind which the great mass of vol
unteers which any great war will re
duire can be raised. BY this import
ant step the United States guarantees
herself against the excessive losses il
men and money which have always at
tended the inception OF all her wars.
TIE National Guard is in no way
changed for its state duties; it is mere
ly made ready for instant national
service should war come. The class
of men who will be attracted to this
service force will be far in advance, in
serious purpose and interest, to those
who in the past may have joined it fol
a frolic. The National Guard becomes
now in fact as well as in name The
National Guard.

TUBERCULOSIS CONGRESS.

President Roosevelt's many-sided-
ness was sIrikingly illustrated during
the week the conference of governors
was in session. In spite of the many
interests political, personal and social
engaging his attention, he found time
to inform the officers of the Interna-
tional Congress on tuberculosis OF his
acceptance of the presidency of that
Congress, which is to be held in Wash.
ington on September 21 to October IL.
incidentally, in commenting upon the
Importance of the anti.tubercufosis cru
sade from an economic standpoint, he
characterized the movement as full of
hope for the individual and sure to
confer material benefit on the country
as a whole. He touched upon the op-
portunity the gathering of scientists
and investigators from every part of
the world will afford for the inter
change of knowledge and for the con-
sequent increased efficiency on the part
of the medical profession to be expect
ed. He referred also to the strength
ening of international ties, and to the
profounder realization of the brother
hood of man to be gained from the un-
ion of all nations in the fight against
the foe-the white plague-that is COM
mon to all.

THE NATIONAL GUARD.

The most important military legs
lation ever enacted by an American
Congress has just passed the Senate
and House. From 1892 down to 1905.
period OF III years, no general act
relating to the Militia was fayorably
considered by Congress.
In 1903 what is known as the Dick
Law was written upon the statute
books. This law sought to cause the
Organized Militia, or National Guard,
to conform in organization, armament
and discipline to the Regular Army
and provided portion of the funds
necessary to accomplish this purpose.
This law took its name from Charles
Dick, of Ohio. then Congressman and
now Senator from the state. who in
troduced the bill in the lower House
at the request OF the National Guard
Association OF the U. s., which had
formulated It. Another act was pass
ed in 1906. having its origin in the
same association, which appropriated
additional sums to assist in the sup
port of the National Guard and extend
ed the purposes for which the same
could be expended.
The act just passed was prepared
by the National Guard Association
executive committee. OF which General
James A. Drain is chairman. II was

WEATHER BUREAU.

Des Moines, Ia, June From Mon
day morning to Friday night, the tem-
perature was considerably above nor
NAL, with frequent and general show
ers. The rainfall was excessive; the
total for the week at many stations ex-
ceeded the monthly normal. Continu-
GUS rains prevented any field work be-
ing done until Saturday. and the loss
to crops by washing and floods will be
considerable, q Asigreat deaf,. of corn
will have to be replanted, and, as a
result, there is now nearly as large an
acreage to be planted as there was two
weeks ago. The early planted fields
are becoming very weedy, but the more
favorable conditions which prevailed
during the last two days afforded an
opportunity to do some cultivating on
high and well drained land. All small
grain, grass, clover, and potatoes have
made rank growth, but reports indicate
that the condition is good except on
low land where the grain is becoming
yellow. Geo. M. Chapel,

Des Moines, June 3.-The makeup of
the democratic state ticket was GER
tainty, even before the voting began
yesterday, except for one position, the
state superintendency of schools. For
every nomination but this, there was
but one candidate; for the superintend-
ency there were two aspirants, Cap E.
Miller of Sigourhey and John M. Stoke
of Charlton. Which Of these two men
secured the democratic nomination will
not be certain until the final returns
are all in. .-......
Apart from the superintendency the

claiming victory. In the Eighth the
early indications were that w. d..
Jameson had been elected over V. r..
McGinnis In the Fourth the contest
between NJ. E. Geiser of New Hampton
and A. J. Anders of Oelwein was un-
certain, and the official count will be
required to determine the result. In
the Tenth the fight was between John
