lent field service the Regular Army
would stili lack about thirty-four
field batteries. The natural way to
supply this deficiency would be to
call for a sufficient force Of volunteer
field artillery; but. at this iuncture.
the President and Congress would be
met by the section OF tho Dick law
which provides. as just stated. that
the whole Organized Militia shall be
called into the service of the United
States in advance of any volunteer
force which It may be determined 70

lation Just quoted be amended that
as a preliminary il would be impera-
tive to call out. even If their services
were not required. the remainder o
the Organized Militia, exclusive of tho
$4,000 troops already mentioned

100000 men. This. IL is obvious
would commit the country TO a vast
and entirely useless expense.
"As matters now stand. Mr.. Presi-
dent. the country could not pass from
state of peace 10 state Of war
which would necessltate the calling
out of volunteers. much as such a
contingency Is to be deprecated,
without a great deal of special legis-
lation. probably hasty and possibly i'll
considered; but if the legislation now
proposed be enacted into law. a Vol
unteer Army, if needed, could be
quickly and effectively organized.
Congress would have only to decide

additional general officers required,
the rank they are to hold. and the
composition Of their personal staifs. p"

the act of April %, 1898. will dis
close the fact that It confuses the
militia and the Volunteer forces of
the United States, which are entirely
distinct. The militia are state troops
which, under the act Of 1892. are COM
posed OF every able-bodied male citi-
zen OF the respective states and ter
ritories between the ages of Is and
40. Under the act Of 1903. known as
the Dick law, the states and terri
tories have organized a portion OF
their militia into regiments and other
military units on the same basis as
the Regular troops. and the men thus
organized are styled National Guards
or Organized Militia.
The remaining able-bodied citizens
OF each state and territory between
Is and 40 who do not belong 10 the
National Guard are comprised In
what the Dick law designates as the
reserve militia. and are liable not
only to be called out by the Presi-
dent but, subject to congressional en-
actment, to be drafted into the SER
vice of the United States.
THE Volunteer Army is organized
on a totally different principle. It
consists of the men who voluntarily
come forward aud of their own free
will join the organization into which
they are Incorporated; and the mo-
ment they are taken into the service
of the United States they become
Federal troops and are under the
exclusive orders Of the President and
of those TO whom he may lawfully
delegate his authority.
Referring now. Mr.. President. to
the bill reported by the committee.
every effort has been made to pre-
serve all the good features of the act
of 1898 and the supplementary acts
thereto. including the act of March
?. 1899. Let me say at the outset
that it does not involve the appro-
priation Of a single dollar from the
treasury nor the promotion of any in
dividual TO the grade of a general
officer In this latter respect il is
differentiated from the law Of April
%, 1898. as in the Judgment of the
committee it was thought wiser that
the number and the rank Of general
officers and the constitution Of their
personal staffs be determined by the
circumstances of the case when the
exigency arises, this being a
question which requires no pro
found study and which can be
readily arranged upDn presidential
Recommendations. subject to the judg.
ment Of Congress. II is to be oh.
served that when regiments are being
recruited and organized all the de.
tails involved can be readily handled
by the colonels with their subordi-
nate officers. and that the services oi
general officers arc not necessarily
REQUIRED until the regiments have
arrived at such point that
they can be sent forward and CO.
ordinated with other regiments into
higher military units.
"rhe amendment in question is in
tended to obviate a difficulty which
might arise in the future and involve
the Government in an immense and
wholly unnecessary expense. Now

Patrick Free at Last.

March. 1902, of the murder Of William NJ

Franking Campaign Material.
From the Chicago News.


1t has been suggested that the people
nat onal, state and local governments
might with propriety help to finance from
the public funds the campaigns of candi-
dates for public office In Oregon, to cite
one example, the authorities circulate
public expense campaign pamphlet in
which every candidate is allowed a certai1
amount of space to present to the voters
the arguments for his election. This plan
has much to commend 1t, since each can
didate has an equal chance with every
other candidate to place before the voters
his claims to their favor.
The United States government has a
system of aiding some cand dates for
Office while giving no aid to the opposing
candidates. The system is therefore open
% serious objection because of its rank
favoritism. A member of Congress who
Is q cand date for reelection can have
his political documents printed in the
Congressional Record and then he can
send them through the mails free of
charge. He has TO pay the actual cost
of printing. but there is no charge for
postage. which is by far the largest item
of expense when campaign material is
sent to voters. The candidate who is OPP
posing the man in office must pay full
postage on all matter that he sends
through the mails.

Fire-Making Airplanes.

While not much has been heard Of the
use of airplanes in the course of the Bal
kan war. it is known that they have been
employed by the Bulgarians to some ex-
tent for scouting purposes. Quite early
in the campaign a Bulgarian aviator was
killed while accommodating. Now comes
word that confiagration has been start
ed in Adrianople by the dropping of py-
roxylin bombs from planes flying over the
city. This is the first instance In history
of the use of fire bombs from heavier
than-air machines. and it is worthy of
particular record as bearing out the fore
casts of those who have long been urging
that the aeroplane would prove a most
powerful agency of offensive warfare.
Fanciful pictures have been drawn Of the
destruction of great cities by fleets of
war planes, and in most of the fiction

nounced that Rice had just passed away.
though, in fact. he had then been dead
several hours. These circumstances raised
suspicion in the minds of the banking
officials and an in tigation was started
In a few days Patrick and Jones
were under suspi of having brought
about the death the aged man. the
former by melting the latter to admin
lister some form of poison. 1t was after
ward established by Jones testimony and
expert witnesses that chloroform had
been given. Jones, who was weak and
vacillatfng creature, made several con-
LESSONS. which varied materially save in
respect to his accusation that Patrick
had induced him to put his master away.
Patrick was arrested February q. 1901.
and was indicted two months afterward-
His trial began January 20. 1892, and
lasted nearly ten weeks. He was SEN
fenced TO death April 81. In consdera-
tiCn of his turning states evidence Jones
was granted immunity. and after the trial
was released and left New York 1t is
believed he is now in Texas. Then began
a remarkable series of appeals by Patrick
lasting several years. The case was final
ly carried to the state court of appeals.
which decided against Patrick by the &C
ton of four judges AGAINST three. The
9Th of December. 1905. Patrick was form
ally sentenced to be executed on the I'D
of January following. Three days before
that date Gov. Higgins granted the first

motion for new trial and futile ap-
peal TO the United States Supreme Court.
TIE 10Th Of December, 1896. Gov. Hig
gins committed Patrick's sentence to i'm
prsonment fer life. Then this extraor-
binary prisoner showed again the nerve
that had sustained him throughout his
unprecedented struggle. He declared that
he would not accept clemency; that 1t
compromised with the truth: that if he
was guilty he deserved to die, but if in
nocent he was entitled to his liberty. OF
course, he could not carry himself to the
execution chamber and so was forced to
accept the communication, although he
made repeated appeals to the governor
and the courts, not single year passing
without some new development in the now
fnextricably complicated legal record of
the Patrick case. Gov. Dix has granted
d full pardon without condition on the
ground that in his judgment the defendant
had not had a fair and impartial trial.
Whether guilty or innocent, Albert T.
Patrick has proved himself a man of
amazing resource and courage and de-
termination. If he is guilty in truth his
ultimate release is a triumph of unfor-
givable wickedneSs over the law. If he is
innocent his long Imprisonment Is a
grievous blunder that society must al
ways regret. Patrick now declares that
he will devote the remainder of his days
to the complete establishment Of his in
nocence.

Maryland and Protection.

Mr.. Rayner's successor will be a re-
publican and will serve a year. He will
participate in the tariff tussle at the extra
session, and Of course vote with his
party. Will vote against the propo-
sition that protection is unconstitutional
and in favor of reasonable protection
duties in the revision of the Payne law
m1srepresent the sentiment of a majority
of the people of Maryland?
As we all know, Mr.. German was a
protectionist, and never disguised his
tariff views. Six years before he as
leader of the Senate recast the Wilson
tariff bill he was Mr.. Cleveland's rep
resentative at a democratic national con-
vention striving to neutralize the effect
of Mr.. Cleveland's low tariff message of
December. 1881. but failed. The conven-
ton in it's tariff plank held the party
to the message.
After the passage of the German Will
son bill Mr.. German was retired for a
term from the Senate, but not as the
result of his tariff performance. Mary
land would not accept the democratic
platform of 1896, and voted against free
silver coinage Mr.. German supported
Mr.. Bryan, but perfunctorily. He was
as much a gold man as protectionist. and
lost his seat in the Senate, not because
Of what he had done to the Wilson tariff
bill, but because of what his party had
done at Chicago in committing itself to
free silver.
Nor do the figures of the recent cleo
ton show Maryland to ue an anti-pro-
lection state. Mr. Wilson had only a
plurality. The full vote cast for him

Roosevelt. Debs and Chain was 11S.625
To the extent. therefore, that the tariff
figured in the equation Maryland did not
subscribe to Mr.. Bryan's dictum deliv-
cred at Baltimore that protection is un-
constitutional. and that the tariff should
be laid for revenue only.
Maryland is a thriving state and Bal
tinore a thriving city. Manufacturing
has increased rapidly of late years
Enormous sums are now invested, and
the tariff is an interesting question to
both capital and labor. The bus ness in
terests today are quite as much con-
cerned about keeping the wheels turning
as they were in 1896 about keeping
money sound. Maryland. indeed, 1t is
safe to say, is as far from desiring free
trade as she was from desiring free sill
yer coinage The majority of her people
are for both protection and sound money
Mr.. Rayner will be missed by his party
in the Senate He spoke with much
power. and always with sincerity. But
his republican successor in supporting
reasonable protection for both Maryland
industries and the industries of other
states will not go counter to state SEN
timent several times declared at the
polls.
