The Mistake of Mount Rainier.

Far be it from US to criticise the
dear, good people of Mount Rainier
for dethroning the Honorable Robert
Emmet Joyce from his high position
as mayor. Equally indifferent are we
to the sterling qualities of the Honor
able Joseph Theophilus Kirk Plant,
who has been chosen as his successor.
When great principles are at stake men
are mere pawns.
The question which disturbs our So
licitous soul is why there should be any
election at all in Mount Rainier. For
at least month previous to last Mon
day there was much excitement in the
town. Handbills were circulated, citi-
zens were buttonholed, mass meetings
were held, charges and countercharges
were made Politics took possession OF
the place Men even sat up late at night
mulling over the merits of the various
aspirants, and on the trolley cars in the
morning, when they might have been
discussing the higher life, they were en-
gagged in the wicked pastime of betting
on their favorite candidates. No Won
der that the gods on Mount Olympus
wept copious tears.
And to think that all this gould and
should have been avoided. On the very
borders of the town is the District OF
Columbia, an object lesson not only to
Mount Rainier, but to all mankind
where the turmoil of politics is Stunned
like a plague; where there is the most
splendid government on earth, and
where three estimable gentlemen watch
over the destinies of all the people with
tender and loving care All this is for
Mount Rainier to know and to expert
ence if it only will. Why not try Ii
and enter upon a new era in the history
of the town:
We suggest that the new mayor ap-
point a committee to visit Washington
and interview our authorities We feel
sure that their report will convince their
fellow-citizens that political battles and
election days belong to the archaic past
With this conviction in their minds
they will abandon the ballot box, ac-
cspt government by commission. and
rerel in the righteousness and peace
which Washington enjoys

Would Abolish French Army.

The real French character reveals it.
self in the bill of NJ. Jaures, a Social
ist deputy, to change the French army
establishment from a conscript force
to a militia organization for home de-
lenses only Such plan, though Wis
ionary to every practical statesman and
military student, is in line with the
traditional idealism of the French peo-
pie. Every people subscribe to the safe
doctrine of the brotherhood of men
every nation discusses disarmament, but
no nation has produced political leader
of repute to advocate the abolition OF
standing army There are Socialists
in Germany, but when it comes to a
discussion of Germany's war strength,
even the German Socialist is mlitar-
ist There are Socialists in Great Bri-
tain, but they are willing that England
shall be supreme in military and naval
force.
NJ Jaures' bill provides that all cit:-
zens between the ages of twenty and
forty-hve shall contribute to the ma
tional defense, from the age of twenty
to thirty-four in the active army, from
thirty-four to forty in the reserve, from
forty to forty-five in the territorial
army. The citizen army is to be re-
cruited within definite geographical dis
tricts. The education of the proposed
army has three phases-preparatory in
struction for children and youth, train
ing of recruits, and periodical convoca-
tions of reserves. The preparatory edu-
cation shall not consist in an appren-
ticeship anticipatory of military drill,
but shall be instruction in health and
suppleness by means of gymnastics,
walking, rhythmic motions, games of
agility and skill, and rifle practice. On
reaching their twenty-frst year, young
men are to enter school for recruits
for a period of six months. Such
schools are not to be permanent military
units like the battalions and regiments
of to-day. but just what the name inn
plies-places of instruction upon grad
uating, from which the citizen-soldier
returns to become member of his local
military unit
The new army is to be oficered by
men of whom only one-third shall be
professional officers who have received
a special training The other two-thirds
shall be chosen by mixed system Of
seniority and election from among the
noncommissioned officers, who, IN turn,
are to be selected from among the most
promising recruits. Workmen's asso-
stations, such as labor unions and bene-
fit and cooperative societies, are to be
authorized to set aside funds for the
education to the grade Of professional

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.
r.. BY A. w. MACY.
A SAVAGE KING WHO BECAME
CIVILIZED.


There is one great character in
Hawaiian history. King Kane
hameha. He was born in 1884,, a
pagan. By his own personal
prowess he became the leader OF
his people. He conquered all the
islands and was crowned their
King. 1t is a remarkable fact
that he developed from a savage
into a civilized ruler. He was
vigilant and strict, introducing
many reforms and doing away
with many heathenish practices.
While he did not become Chris
tian, he abandoned the worship OF
idols, and on his deathbed re-
fused to allow the customary hu-
man sacrifices in the hope Of pro-
longing his life, He died In 1913.
the year before the arrival OF the
Christian missionaries from the
United states. There is a fine
statue Of him in front Of the gov
ernment building In Honolulu,
ana his memory IL held in great
reverence by the native Ha-
vaiians. In the Bishops Museum.
in Honolulu IL preserved his war
coat, made Of the yellow feathers
OF q rare bird Of the islands.
Mine gens5ations are said to have
been employed In making this
coat, and its value is estimated at
$3.50. 900.

4 Deliberative House.

pearance of new men in Congress. They
approach national legislation from new
point of view They have not been
running in rut. They are not crusted
over with tradition, and when they find
the courage to speak they offer inter-
esting topics for discussion.
Take, for instance, Representative
Lewis, of Maryland. He insists that
the House has entirely lost its delibera-
tive function Its membership, he says,
has completely delegated to mere frac-
ton of itself the exclusive power to
deliberate on measures. The commit
tees and not the House frame legisla-
ton. This, he believes, was never in
tended by the founders of the govern
rnent. THE absence of a real preroga-
tive of deliberation," he insists, SIS a
most serious inhrnity in any parlia-
mentary body, because it reduces the
members to mere yea-and-nay voters
on referendum from the committees"
1t is unnecessary to enter into an
extended resume of Mr.. Lewis asser-
tions. because their truth will be gen.
orally recognized. Much more inter
esting to discuss is his suggestion as to
a remedy. Every country with rep
resentative body. except Great Britain
and the United States, has given to that
body a deliberative character. Austria,
Hungary, Belgium, France, Germany,
Italy, Japan, and even Russia have de-
vised scheme whereby every measure
submitted receives the careful attention
of each member Take Germany, for
instance. The parliamentary body is di-
vided by lot into sections. Each section
has its chairman and its reporter or
spokesman. the latter being the member
who is most familiar with details. After
each section has considered the pro-
posed legislation, in relevant, sugges-
tive, and consultative fashion. the re-
porters meet in a central section, COM
plete the draft. and then submit it to
the parliamentary body for final action.
Mr.. Lewis finds many virtues in the
plan. 1t affords each member an eff
fective opportunity to perfect a proposed
law during its plastic and formative
period. 1t gives the new member an
equality with the old 1t develops the
real legislative qualities Of each men,
Der and insures the largest degree of
prominence for those who actually de-
serve it. It was through inherent ability
as a member of a section, then as the
leader of the central section, and finally
as the best qualified representative on
the floor that BRAND became prime min
lister of France.
In this country, notwithstanding all
that may be said of Our enterprise and
progress, we are ultra-conservative in
many things One of these is Our de-
votion to the detail of our system of
government. 1t is not likely, therefore.
that Mr.. Lewis suggestion will be
needed. We will follow along in the
path we have been so accustomed to
tread, because no one will have the
courage to blaze a trail in new direc-
ton. Nevertheless, Mr.. Lewis has
spoken a truth as to the lack of de-
liberation in the House, and some of
these days reform may be undertaken,
Even though the method which he sug-
gests may not be wholly practical, it
contains a germ Of thought which is
wei! worthy of serious consideration.
