TWO MILLIONS FOR
TROOPS QUARTERS
IN THE CANAL ZONE:
More Than Six Thousand
Soldiers Will Be Ordered
There Soon.

The Government will soon expeGA
about $4,000 900 In fitting up offices, quaIs
ters. and barracks, along With othar
living facilities, for the $500 troops filur
the War Department will send to de-
fend" the Panama canal.
For more reasons than appear on tho
surface, this action is interesting. Thd
fortification of the canal will not be-.
completed for years, but soldiers will
be sent there as soon as living quar.ers
can be provided. The Government
learned a sharp lesson from the Spanish
war, which cannot be better stated than
in the whimsical complaint of one Of
the swivel chair heroes of the War De-
partment at the time:
IT had my department all organized
and running nicely, and now it is all
broken up"
That was the real trouble with the
United States Army and Navy during
the Spanish war. The military estab-
lishment had beer maintained on a
peace basis, and when war came the
Government was upprepared. Since that
time the effort of succeeding Admins
trations has been &c maintain the mill
tary forces on practically a war basis
during a period of profound peace, and
thus offer strongest guarantee Of actual
peace that could be provided

Vehicle Tags Order Is
Effective on April "a

The Commissioners order requiring
the display of numbered tags on all
horse-driven vehicles in the District of
Columbia will go into effect Monday,
April "a, according to an announcement
Of Commissioner Rudolph today.
1t was at first decided that the regu-
lation should be come effective April 1.
but its enforcement was postponed ow-
ing to delay in the delivery of the tags,
which are now being issued by H. NJ.
Woodward, permit clerk, at the rate of
200 day. The tags are similar to those
used on automobiles, and cost so cents
each.
The regulation was adopted, the Com

ing a vehicle in case of accident. Vio-
lation of the ordinance Is punishable by
$40.

spent in Europe studying the child

Fettered by Tradition.
No law should be above the will of
the people. But we are fettered hand
and foot by tradition in this so-called

any one who rose up and said the

And he added with his shrewd,
humorous smile, the supreme court
should be abolished for it is the great

Although no bones were broken

He was badly shaken. his face

Rodgers left Tournament park at

taking the air and after crcling aim

APPROVES BILL TO EXEMPT :. MILITIAMEN FROM JURY DUTY
By CAPT. c. Fl. MANDY

The organized militia throughout the state will be gratifled to learn that Rep resentative T. H. Motion of Jefferson county will introduce a bill at the present session of the state legislature to exempt all active members of the organized mili tia from jury duty.
 The passage of this bill will certainly work to the best interest of the state troops. The organized militiaman gives to the state without any compensation all the time that he devotes to military duty except when in camp or in active service of the state or nation, and it is believed to be neither just nor fair to demand both military and civil duty from those who volunter to fit themselves to serve the state or nation in possible crises which may demand trained men at arms.
 The service of the state In military du ties is costly both as to time and money to those who show their patriotism by making this sacrifice and to demand fur ther service from the Guardsmen as
