EFFICIENCY OF the MILITIA
ASSISTANT SECRETARY OLIVER
ACTS ON RECOMMENDATIONS.
Proposed Second Series of inspection
and System Of Correspondence
Schools Receives Approval.

AS the representative of the War De-
partment Assistant Secretary Oliver has
acted upon a number of recommendations
made by the national militia board and
designed TO increase the efficiency Of the
organized militia. The recommendation
of the board for the detail of non-com-
missioned officers Of the army for duty
with the organized militia is approved.
conditioned upon the settlement of the
question Of the right to pay the expenses
for quarters. heat. light. medical attend
ance and travelling expenses out OF the
federal appropriations for the militia.
Approval is given Of the recommends
tion for a second series Of inspection with
the view to reporting on the organization,
armament and discipline INSTRUCTION OF
the organized militia: the recommendation
for q system Of correspondence schools
for the militia, and the issue of horses
for militia field artillery to be charged
against federal appropriations for the
militia.
Recommendations Disapproved.
Assistant Secretary Oliver disapproves
the recommendation for the allowance Of
pay and travelling expenses Of officers Of
the militia engaged in giving instruction
in rifle practice, or on continuous duty at
rifle ranges, on the ground that such pay
ments are not authorized by law. The
recommendation for the issue of white
gloves as part of the clothing allowance
is disapproved on the ground that white
gloves do not constitute part Of the field
service uniform.
The views Of the militia board that
some form Of cap and collar insignia be
adopted for the militia to identify the
wearer as q member of the first line of
the national forces. etc, are approved.
with the prOviso. however, that the time
is not yet ripe for the adoption Of such
insignia. The recommendation for an al
lowance for ammunition cases. bandoleers
and clips is still under consideration.
Definite Military Policy.
In its report the national militia board
said 1t regarded as of very great impor-
lance the question Of the adoption of q
definite military policy for the United
States, with particular reference to a COM
plete coordination Of effort between the
regular army and the organized militia
and a combined organization of the two
branches OF the first line Of defense, Gen.
Oliver said that this matter is already
under consideration by the general stan.

Tell the Truth and
Shame the Devil. "

Here is rather 4 curious bit of
mystery picked up from the columns
of the Miami News-Record:
II is being shrewdly guessed that a
recent political deal will appreCiably
cool the ardor of a leading prohibit
zionist. and that state wide pTohibi
ton will not be pressed so hard as to
hurt, much.
The News Record, we know, is an
prohibition paper, but it is to be
presumed that it has the interests of
the state at heart and wishes to for
ward those interests in such manner
as may seem right and proper in its
eyes But even the application of
much dope to its conscience cannot
make it believe that it is right to
conceal the name of some political
knave who it declares has made
deal" so satisfactory to his own
his performance of a duty he owes to
the people.
The citizens of Florida have the
right TO know the names of that kind
of public servants. 1t is the duty of
the News-Record to speak out with
out fear or favor. The state needs
officers who viii represent its inter-
ests, not their own, and who would
scorn the idea of permitting a bride
offered to their ambition to influence
their conduct when question of pub
lie concern might be involved.
Speak out, brother. Tell the truth
Rnd shame the devil" This mys-
terious hint, besides its unrighteous
conceaIment of a name which. if the
charge is true. should be published
from one end of the state to the other
aud receive the stigma it merits, may
cause suspicion to rest where il does
not belong and besmirch some repu-
tation which should be spOtless-

Public Health is
A Public Trust.

The Journal is not in possession OF
the context of the three bills, num-
bered 81, So and Sc, introduced by
Senator Harris. but their titles seem
10 guarantee them as being measures
fraught with good results to the state.
The first permits the state board
of health Ito employ a sanitary en-
gineer''; the second authorizes the
same body ito acquire and maintain
a tuberculosis sanitaTium," and the
third confers upon the board the
right Ito adopt, prOmUlgate and en-
force rules for the betterment and
protection Of the public health" These
bills have all been reported favorably
, and ordered TO third reading.
OF course, there may be technical
Objectionable features in these meas
ures, although We know nothing OF
them; but, on the whole, they GER
taiIly must provide means for a more
consistent and effective war against
disease than ever has been before
undertaken in the state. And what
political, economic or social problem
may be rated along with the preseT-
walton of the public health through
the cure of sickness and prevention
of infections2
Good citizens in all parts of the COM
monwealtn should unite in the hope
that the legislature will adopt every
measure necessary to confer the full
est power on the health authorities
TO carry out their beneficent plans.
Should there be the slightest injica-
ton of apathy on the part OF the leg
isIature its members should be stirred
to activity by a widespread and pro-
nounced expression of disapprOvable
on the part of their constituents.

VOX POPULI.
SHORTER ROUTE TO
MILTON is PROPOSED.

Editor PENSACOLA Journal:
From a copy of The Journal l
noticed that five autos that were pUT-
chased by parties in Milton had to
go by way of Pollard, Ala, to get to
their destination, something over 100
miles Now, as our commissioners
are working on the road to Ferry
Pass, why could not the commission
erS from the two counties get to-
gether and make a hard road to Mil
ton, and get some enterprising man
to build a fiat with a gasoline motor?
Then the trip could be made in
good deal less than two hours from
start to finish. If no individual would
undertake the ferry the two counties
could do it jointly and would not be
heavy on either. | am only making
the suggestion and the details could
be gone into later.
