Improying the s1ilitis,
Washburn, N. D.

The seasons military doings. includ.
ing sham war, rifle range work and
summer camps. disclose a desire on
the part Of the rank and file for prac-
tical work. The fever of militarism
is o widespread. but it takes hold
hard where it makes Roadway at all.
There is no a to ctiticise this
state Of things in the main. Perhaps.
however, it would be we'll If there
were more young men smitten with
militarism and fewer ambitious for
place in a 'crack' corps.
The state militia. Or national guard,
by taking federal support and accept
ing federal regulation feels in duty
bound to train up to the standard Of
the regular army. Practically the ideal
of today is to have the expert military
knowledge and skill of the country
limited to about 100000 Of the sew
eral millions Of a%blebodied mel in the
country. 1t is to be hoped that 300
600 soldiers will always be equal to
any military emergency forced upon
US. Still, it may be unwise to leave
too wide a gap between this elite corps
and the great mass of young men who
will have to defend the nation III time
of peril. The regular army re-en.
forced by all the militia could barely
patrol the great centers in time Of ex.
element and while thus engaged
would have little chance to break i'll
the raw levies that would be the bull
wark of defense. 1t is possible that
military knowledge can be too highly
specialized and it's distribution too
narrow for a democracy.

Justice Quick and Cheap.

Chicago in September was the hrst III
which he dealt with the subject III
definite terms. Words then spoken
have been widely echoed and generals
" commended. Coming from a presl-
dent who is a lawyer and has been a
Judge. this indictment of u system
Of justice. the one thing we boast OIL
is worthy of heed. The president did
not rest with merely condemning. but
suggested a remedy. He would nave
the federal courts reformed so as to
secure quick and cheap justice 10
litigants' before them and also to fur-
nish models for the state courts.
At first thought it seems strange
that the administration of justice has
degenerated so far that the president
must sound an alarm. The fact Is
that the development and movement
Of the machinery of justice has been
one sided. The people, aside from the
comparatively few who have clashed
with it, pay very little attention. The
average mans motto is keep out OF
the tolls Of the criminal law and pay
twice or lose all rather than bring or
dofopd a civil action" SvmnathV for
any who break this rule is lukewarm
and at best spasmodic. Swifter move
ment in all courts would be a boon to
the communities involved. With laws
quick acting the people might take
keeper interest in how they act and
the net results.
