SUGGESTIONS ANENT MILITIA

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Colonel Weayer's report on the
militia of the United States and your
editorial Of to-day thereon furnish food
for thought to all who are interested in
this vital phase of the military efficiency
of this nation.
In the first place, if the national guard
is handicapped in recruiting by the opposi-
tion of the labor unions-as is 1Indoubted1v
the Case-reCruiting must go on as well a.
il can without the assistance of the unions
Men who are unwilling to do their part in
SuppresSng riots, on account of labor afiI-
iationS, are better off out of the militia
than in it. As for establishing a state CON
stabulary TO deal with disorder thus max
ing the militia no longer obiectionable tn
the unions. this would be q weak course
indeed and would look very much as if
it were necessary for the military author
tiles 70 bow down before the fetish of
unionism in order to keep the militia in =
state of efficiency.
There must he some reasonable wav of
remedying this condition Of a depleted
national guard and in order to discover
the remedy we must first try to anaIvzo
the reasons for the condition For one
thing the militia is subject TO orders from,
TOO many Inherent sources. \ man who
joins must be prepared to be mustered into
the army Immediately in case of war n
be called out on strike duty. to drill ~
least once d week, to give up anv or oil
of his holidays to parades and TO perform
many other duties. The majority of avail
able men do not regard this prospect with
enthusiasm. as the recruiting statistics
show.
Make the guard a reserve of the ree,,Ia-
army i'll fact we'll as in name If the
ranks are to be kept filed Let the guard
regiments be called out to suppress disorder
as soon as the regulars. but no sooner. and
once they are on this service let ii be I'M
derstood that Il man who shoots to kill in
the performance of his duty does not make
himself liable To civil prosecution for man
slaughter by grateful public as soon as
the riot is suppressed Abolish useless ps-
rades and similar wastes of time and Iet
the guardsman understand that he is a sol
der first, last and all the time and that his
work is as serious as that of a regular
whose co-woTker he is in solving the mill
tary problem as it confronts this country

HR. DIN AND DIRECT PRIMARIES.

If Governor-elect Dix is its spokes-
man the Democratic party is exhibiting
coolness toward direct primaries He is
quoted as saying that the sentiment for
direct primaries had been largely manu-
factured by Governor Hughes. As TO the
amount of it. he thought it significant
that in one of his trips through the state
as chairman the subject was brought lp
only once by a local leader Of his own
accord Apparently he does not think
there is much sentiment for direct pri-
marieS. and he is said to have declared it
problematical whether the next election
would see the system in operation.
Nevertheless he said: We must take up
direct primaries and statewide per-
"sonal enrolment without too much cN-
''perimentation, for we are committed to
lit as a party in our platform. And /
.'believe in bringing the voter rs near rs
possible 10 his candidate
Direct primaries and statewide per-
sona1 enrolment. Why are these two
things coupled? Is the enc to be con-
tingent upon the other in the Democratic
party's programme? We have often won
dered how party hostile throughout to
direct primaries was going to dispose OF
its platform declaration for statewide
system. Perhaps these remarks of Mr..
Dix point the way. The Democratic
party declared for direct primaries Of
the statewide sort and for a persona!
enrolment law of statewide appllca ton.
One thing the public wants and to the
ether it is opposed If the two are put into
one bill the unpopular half OF the pro-
pCsal will kill off the popular half and
the Democratic party may hope to escape
responsibility. Is that the plan:
Certainly the statewide personal en-
rolment scheme will never go through
the Legislature, for an Indispensable
part of the Democratic majority comes
from rural territory, and if 1t did go
through the angry farmer subjected 10
the inconvenience of two long trips to
the polls instead of one would settle his
grievance with the Democracy at the
first opportunity If this proposition IS
tied up with direct primaries it will in
sure the defeat of the latter And in
that case the state will have the first
measure of the political morality Of Mr.
Dix and of his party

WHAT WOMEN HAVE DONE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Richard Barry has written for q
current magazine an article about woman
suffrage in the enfranchised states IT pur-
ports to be an impartial presentation of
facts, Lut it IS really piece of special
pleading against equal suffrage. Although
his article is headed. What Women Have
Actually Done he does not mention one
OF the good things that they have actually
done, but only the good things that he
says they have not done
For instance. he says there are fifty-eight
girls in the Florence Crittendeu Home at
Denver, but he does not mention that all
the suffrage states have raised the age of
protection for girls to eighteen, or that
Colorado has made it felony for men to
live on the earnings of fallen women. He
says that Denver went wet" at the last
election, but he does not mention that since
woman suffrage was granted the number
Of no-license towns in Colorado has been
more than quadrupled, and the no-iicense
territory greatly extended in Idaho, Utah
and Wyoming.
