How to Make Our Army.

Editor National Tribune: An old read
er of your paper would like to ask your
opinion as follows: L see by the papers
the Government has trouble TO get men to
enlist in the Army, etc.
l have an idea if the Government would
take the boys from the several homes, and
boys without a home. aged 10. u, and Is
years, educate them TO be soldiers. it would
be a blessing to the boys and benefit to
mankind. What an army we could have
in short time. As / look at it, the Gov
ernment is now getting the worst .ele-
ment of young men with poor education:
men worth but little for anything any
where. They have been loafers and only
go into the Army to loaf, and desert at the
first opportunity. l do not wish TO say
all are that way. but many are. Take
the young boy, school him. drill him; at
the age of IL or 1S years old we have
fine soldier OF sailor. They are over the
homesickness. most of them never had
home. There would be some bright boys
that would love the service and follow it
thru life. / recall. when We enlisted in
81. how the young boys We're locked at by
older men, but ! also recall that in six
months the boys came up nearer the head
and in two years the boys were there, and
the great. big bullies were all gone-not
killed. but out ! also recollect that on
ambulance or hospital. and the young fell
lows were in the ranks. cOntented and
happy Now we let the how run until he
learns all the vices possible: he gets an
appetite for drink and tobacco. 3Dd as he
gets up to 1S years he has about all the
habits down fine He has squandered his
time and all the money he could get. and
then enlists in the Army. Result-The
Army has wild colt TO break. Another
thing; if we would pick out the best from
the ranks for promotion, could see some
thing for a Young man to work for. As
il is now. il appears. TO me. money buys
cadetship. A cadet is in line Of promo
ton: nothing for a soldier but TO carry an
old gun and drill. Another thing to look
at. the Government would have Young
men that would make good mechanics in
different lines men who at the age would
be CAPABLE to do anything. Now the Gov
ernment only gets those without educa
tion or disposition to learn. We do not
want block-heads. The best educated
soldiers are the hest fighters. If we "o''''l
ask our dear old Generals-Grant, Sher-
man and others-I am sure they would
saw at once. give me the educated boy
and keep your isnGramuses at home. II

HOME RULE QUESTION.

Alter explaining ludL ne L"'O'9 commission of five or more members appointed by the president to gov ern Alaska. President Taft adds:
 Tt win be observed that this is practically the government which was given the Philippine islands, al though the commission there had more legislative authority than it would be wise or necessary to give to the Alaska commission"
 This in itself shows how totally ignorant the president is regarding the true conditions in Alaska, He be- lieyes that this country, pionereed and settled and built up by repre- sentative American citizens, should be more restricted in regard to its legislative functions than the Phll- ippInes. He certainly places a very low estimate upon the character and morals of the people and the esti- mate comes from those actively Op- posed to home rule who have had the ears of the administration.
 The whole question in nutshell Is Just this-vhich, at this time, is the less of three eyIls-the present long range and neglectiul form Of government, a commission appointed by the president and controlled by the same element that now dictates Alaskan legislation, or a partial form Of local government invested in legislature subject to the affirmative approval Of Congress.
 Bryan says that the people of Al aska have the right to make and suffer from their own mistakes, and not from the mistakes of lawmakers who know very little and care less about the Northland. He is right, President Taft and all members Of the administration admit that the ter rItOry has been sadly neglected and  mismanaged and made to suffer in innumerabIe ways, and yet they pro pose a remedy that will perpetuate standardization. They might as well deny municipalities the right to incorporate and govern themselves as to deny the people as a whole any form of franchise and which place them on a lower level than the peO- pie of the Philippines.
 Another objection raised by the president is that Alaska is such a large territory that the people Of one district do not know the needs of the other districts. He does not know Alaskaus. Most of those in Cordova, for instance, are as well ac- quainted with the conditions in the Panama, in Nome, or Southeastern Alaska as they are in their own com munity. The other day in a gather ing of less than twenty men were residents from almost every sec ton of Alaska. Alaskans have a habit of getting over the ground quickly and they know their country. Nor can this fact be taken as evidence that they are migratory and unsettled as charged, for no matter whether they happen to reside at Nome, Ju- neau, Fairbanks. Valdez, CordOva or some other community they are, aOOFe all else, AlaShanS anu nave tue interest Of Alaska at heart
 The presidents contention that Southeastern Alaska would dictate and control politics is contradicted by the election for delegate. Nome and Fairbanks elected the delegates CT each occasion. In an new terri tories and countries the conditions are necessarily somewhat raw, in some respects, leaving a good many things to be desired, but the same thing holds true of politics outside.
