No more khaki uniforms for the
Virginia militia.
- Instead OF the camralcn. khaki the
State troops Will have to. wear the
olive drab at the maneuvers this year.
The war department yesterday noti-
fed the adiutant- general Of Virginia
that. because of the strike in the
New England mills. no moro khaki
was available for the present.
1t was the intention of the adiutant-

the letter from the war department

TINkERING WITH PROGRESSIVE PR1N-
CIPLE.

The passing by the House of the, publicity
bill aimed at the several Republican candidates
for the Presidential nomination is another
one of number of vain things which the
Democratic majority has done in the effort to
play politics. Not that a publicity bill is not
In itself a good thing. Not that it is not
needed or that the evidences of great ex-
penditures on behalf of both Taft and Roose-
Welt are not conclusive. But 1t naturally oc-
ours to one to wonder In what way Congress
would go about enforcing the law, should it
finally get it upon the statute books.
1t must be remembered that the presidential
primaries are not only utterly irregular, but
so extra-legal as to cast much doubt upon their
constitutionality, there any way to test
that question. AS the question stands, now.
there is apparent reason why State may
not provide for elections of party delegates as
Iit may provide for the exercise OF any other
political function. 1t may require the dele
gates themselves to announce their expendi-
lures. or that campaign managers within the
State shall give the greatest publicity to their
activities. 1t would be utterly different
matter. however for State to attempt to re-
qure a Presidential candidate to file n state
ment of expenses. and it is not perfectly easy
the Presidential primary itself Is a frank de-
parture from the constitutional method of
choosing the highest officer in the land.
Neither MIR Roosevelt Mr.. Taft is really
running for the Presidency or seeking to be
nominated to convention No one will vote
for, either the one the other, even II nomi-
mated 1t is therefore difficult TO how
Congress expects to pass law which will re-
qure an accounting for what takes place in
the political life of State which is doing
no more than. using as a State. It's influence
in the nomination or final choice of President
We fully recognize that the people are rest

timent OF the country is set upon choice OF

in that manner which will give to the people

ION But until the Federal Constitution shall
have been amended in orderly fashion to con-
Congress might we'll. defeat itself and set back
what will otherwise be a certain development.
In respect to the initiative and referendum
as exercised by an individual State. the SUI
preme Court has recently declined to inter-
fere, on the ground that such laws are no more
than normal use OF political power. But
should Congress endeavor to take control OF
species OF elections which manifestly ir-
regular, the constitutionality Of the laws them
selves would instantly become question for
the decision of the Court. Until such time as
another amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton shall open the way for direct. instead OF
indirect. popular rule, the danger OF Congress
undertaking to grasp the jurisdiction of regu-
lating the manner OF its exercise is more than
anything else dangerous and subversiye Of the
very principle which the effort seeks to eatab-
fish and maintain.

PROBLEM FOR SOLUTION.

London, July -31.-The Evening
Standard publishes the following:
GA great crisis in the evolution Of
civilization is approaching which
holds many pregnant possibilities TO,
the leading nations Of the world, in
the opinion of Mr.. William Randolph
Hearst, the millionaire publisher of
the New York American and other in
auential journals in his great news
paper syndicate.
"The coming of this crisis" said
Mr.. Hearst to the Standard interview.
er when seen at the Savol Hotel, "is
Enthusiastically indicated by the labo,
unrest, frenzied speculations, and bust
ness uncertainties that prevail in all
countries in spite of the much-herald
ed era of prosperity. There is plenty
of prosperity, it is true, according to
statistics, but it is unfairly distribut:
ed. The already rich are getting toe
big share Of it, and the working
classes too little.
"Don't infer from this, however,
that I am in favor If any socialistic
doctrine Of equal division, or even OF
limitation of the opportunities fol
acquiring wealth. !. believe that very
man is entitled to as much money as
he can make, either with his hands
or with his brains.
II think that, too, is the general
opinion. Most men realize that the
discomfort in the world of labor is
the piling up of great fortunes for
those who do nothing to earn them.
"In other words the law of prim-
ogenltu1e and entailing of estates for
the enrichment of unborn generations
is the root of the present economic un.
rest which all governments must solve
before long, if they expect to stand.
Education of the masses has develop.
ed their powers of logic and thought,
and they have begun to see the in
justice of the present system.
"1n the United States some steps
have already been taken to meet the
approaching crisis by placing a heavy
inheritance tax on all fortunes, and
by providing against their retention
within limited family circles.
"Any man is free to amass as much
wealth as he can, but he must scatter
it widely at his death. The purpose
Of this is to get rid of the idlers,
whose inherited wealth has deprived
them of all understanding of the value
Of money, and that in turn has bred
an extravaganza which has had as
much to do as anything else with the
high cost of living in America.n
