vented, and a recurrence of such a
catastrophe can be avoided. The
United States Government should
undertake the work. The control of
the Mississippi river and it's tribu-
taries and the prevention of floods
is a great work in which is needed
the cooperation of the nation with
the states. 1t is true drainage does
not appear in the constitution, but
the words regulation of interstate
commerce do appear, and interstate
commerce means navigation and
navigation means river regulation
and control from the very source TO
he mouth, including all the tribu-
taries; and such river regulation
and control logically means also the
restraint OF the flood waters as de-
structiye agency and their restraint
with view to turning them into a
beneficial agency"

they grind so much flour that Can

Anarchy and Work.

GARNER, the Paris auto bandit
and anarchist, who recently killed
himself after being wounded by the
police, left a diary. In it he admit
ted that he was an anarchist be-
cause he hated work. He called it
zone of the forms of capitalistic ex-
ploitation This Is refFeshingly
frank. Probably other bandits and
anarchists would say the same thing
if they analysed their own motives
and admitted the truth.
The hatred of work makes
grouches of some people, shirks OF
others. tramps Of many, anarchists
of a few, rebels of a number and self
styled slaves of multitude more
The fear TO admit this distaste for
physical exertion also makes hypo-
critics of many who pretend that
they love to work Yet philosophers
generally agree that the really happy
man is the man at work Thomas
A Edison even goes SO far as TO say
that modern men are happier than
modern women because they work
more. AS Edison is reputed to work
SO hard that he often forgets to eat
or sleep, he should speak with au-
thority. Concernig the other philos-
ophers, however-vwell, it is easy &c
philosophize about the labor of other
people.
Speaking of anarchists, the tar.
ring and feathering of Ben Reitman
at San Diego brings up suggestive
point. The anarchists, of course
would remove all governmental au-
thority. That would open the way
to universal mob law. Yet il was
at the hands of the mob that Reit-
man suffered. The San Diego mob
acted in purely anarchistic way
Reitman's anarchy is theory; that
of the mob was practice. 1t looks
like a case of poetic justice. He was
hoist by his own petard.

THE AMERICAN ARMY.

The theory of the army gen.
orally held Is old and obsolete.
We think Of the soldier in the
regular army as q specialist and
a professional man. That is the
idea that goes back to the army
of Frederick the Great and his
professional fighters. Such q
conception Is Inconsistent now
with our other ideas Of govern
ment. We should take On ex-
ample from the country Of Swift
zerland. There the army is held
as a school of patriotism. 1t Is
believed that men should go into
1t long enough to learn their
duty md then 60 back to civil
life. We should look forward TO
such a system here. 1t would
raise the personnel of the army
and give us certain number OF
trimmed men who could be relied
