ARMY RESERVE CORPS.
General Woods Plan and the Terms
of Enlistment.



of Enlistment.
New York Sun,
General Leonard Woods opinion that fl
would be mistake to increase the term
OF enlistment in the army from three to
five years, as proposed In the Hay bill.
Is shared by many officers in close touch
with the enlisted man.
long term works well in England where
a career is made Of service In the army
for the reason chiefly that civil life offers
few better opportunities to the private
soldier. II five year term were substituted
for the present term of enlistment in the
United States there would De n marked
and alarming increase in assertions, Not
even the rigorous methods adopted by the
adjutant general would keep the discon-
tented ones in the army. The service
would naturally. fall into discredit when
the authorities would even reduce the
present three year term to two, and the
argument in, it's favor is by no means con-
temptible
Whether General Woods plan to form
reserve corps by persuadlng soldiers at
the expirations of the three years term OF
enlistment to hold themselves in readiness
to be called to the colors for the consldera-
ton of two dollars a month Is practicable
or desirable may be doubted II we under
stand him he would not encourage re-enlist-
ment, deeming It OF more Importance to
create gradually a reserve corps. But 1t
is the experienced soldiers in the army who
are OF the most value, men Of at least
two enlistments The long term in England
makes excellent fighting men and capable
noncommissioned officers Re-enistments
should be encouraged. Let the reserve corps
consist of men who do not want TO stay
in the army Moreover, the difficulty Of
obtaining recruits is to be considered. There
are slack seasons when 1t is impossible
to fill the ranks.
Three years soldering in time of peace
does not make a lasting impression upon
a man. An ex-soldier before long would
rate below a National Guardsman in effec-
tiveness. 1t may be doubted, too, whether
for two dollars a month most Of the re-
seryists would appear for the biennial drill
which Gehersl Wood, recommends, Unless
the country Is prepared, to spend con
siderable sum of money on reserve corps
upon a more ambitious plan than that pro-
posed 1t is submitted that 1t would be bet
ter to place entire dependence upon the
national guard. With closer contact with
the regular army it is increasing steadily

Corporations and Public Control.

President Delano of the Wabash
railroad is not the only utility corpora
ton man who advocates subsection of
these industries to public control,
though he takes very advanced posi-
ton on II. Theodore N. Vail, presi-
dent OF the American Telephone and
Telegraph company, in his last annual
report declares:
service corporations by permanent com
missions, has come and come TO stay.
Mr.. Vail makes the distinction, how
ever, in favor of regulation by COM
mission as preferable to that of legis-
lative enactment, and insists, of
course, with propriety, that such
control or regulation can and should
stop all abuses of capitalization, OF
extortion or Of overcharges or un-
reasonable division of profits" He
Will find the majority Of people with
him, too. in the theory that govern
ment control should protect the inves-
tor as we'll as the public.
Addressing other railroad execu-
tives at Chicago. President Delano
spoke favorably not only OF this con-
troll OF corporations, but went further
and pronounced the recent rate de-
cision as a blessing to them in dis
guise. AS Mr.. Vail declares, public
control has come to stay, and this
kind OF influence on the part of men
like himself and Mr.. Delsno will help
to make that control fair and equita-

A Basic Difference.

The basic difference between demo-
Gratis and republicans IL emphasized
by the withdrawal of Senator MARITIME
from the democratic caucus as con-
trasted with the refusal of Senator La
Toilette and his associates to partici-
pate in the republican caucus. When
the vote was taken the other day on
the choice of a president of the senate
Mr.. La Toilette boldly declined to REQ
ognize the caucus decree, declaring:
I deny the right of any secret caucus
held outside Of the senate chamber behind
closed doors with no reporter present to
dispose of the public business, or anything
which may exercise an important or con-
trolling influence upon the public business
and / regard the election of a pro tempore
president OF this great body as of great
Importance in the conduct of it's business.
Republican insurgents, so far as
Senator La Toilette speaks for them,
recognize no obligation whatever to
accept caucus decisions.
When, however, the democrats came
to caucus on the manner of conduct
ing the Lorimer investigation, Senator
MARITIME finds himself alone in reject
ing the caucus yoke, and even In that
makes his refusal conditional on the
ground that a moral question ia In
volved. the intimation being that In
matters of policy, politics and patron
age the action OF the caucus would be
supreme and govern him too.

BILE, as It should be to effect it's real
purpose. A control that throws all
it's BENEFITS on one side, no matter
which side that may be, is not the
control that is needed. Like organ
ICED labor, organized capital and cor
porations are as essential to modern
business systems as is their restric-
ton within proper bounds. and that
fact has to be kept clearly in mind
in all plans looking to the regulation
of these industries.

"GRANDFATHER" LAW.
Ruling of Lower Court Opens Way
for an Appeal. .~
st. Paul Pioneer Press.


St. Paul Pioneer Press.
The decision Of the federal district court
declaring the grandfather clause OF the
Oklahoma constitution invalid is important
in that 1t paves the way for q final deci-
sion by the supreme court of the United
States on the form Of laws and constitu-
tional provisions that are very generally
used in the south for the purpose of dis
franchising the negro. While most OF the
southern states have such laws, the ques-
ton has never been brought squarely to
issue before the supreme court of the
United States. The highest judicial trib-
unal has had the question before 1t several
times, but not In form that brought the
question fairly to test and, as a result, no
direct decision has been rendered on the
right OF states to pass such snactments, in
evasion. If not in direct violation of the
fifteenth amendment. .r' 90
Under the provision of the Oklahoma
constitution, the educational test was APP
piled only to voters whose ancestors were
not entitled to vote on January l, 1866 The
cause worked to the direct disfranchise-
ment of the negroes. The federal court,
before which a test case was brought, de-
cided that the provision was a discrimina-
ton against the negro and in violation Of
the fifteenth amendment. which declared
that the right Of franchise shall not be de-
MED TO any person because of race color
or previous condition OF servitude"
The equivalent Of the grandfather
clause" is embodied in the laws of Ala
bama, Georgia, Mississippi South Carolina,
Florida, Louisiana and other southern
states. The effect OF these laws It TO pre-
vent the negro from voting, As the Okla
homa case will be taken to the supreme
court OF the United States, the final de-
cision Of that body will be awaited with
interest because of it's ultimate effect upon
the political conditions throughout the
south.
