Two-Cent Mileage

Edgar f. Rounds of Portland then
offered his amendment to the mile
age rate plank of the platform, pro-
viding. for the addition of a clause to-
ward passage of a law forbidding any
railraod in Maine from charging more
than two cents a mile for mileage
books. He said that the Cumberland
delegation had voted in favor of such
action.
Ex-Governor Cobb requested infor-
nation as to the reason for and pllr-
pose of the amendment.
Mr.. Rounds read from a railroad
report showing what he defined as
raises for the bosses OF the rail-
roads" He said he didn't know what
they are going to do with the public
utilities commission and thought
some more Immediate action should
be taken. In conclusion he offered
general denunciation Of the Maine
Central Railroad, mingled with
charges of raw deal Tor the citi-
zens of Maine" and monopoly
against Maine for the benefit of Mas
sachusetts" Desultory applause mark
ed completion of his remarks, but
when Governor Cobb arose to reply he
was forced to take the platform amid
cheers.
The former Governors remarks were
quiet but very much to the point He
expressed his reluctance at discussing
such a proposition, but said he was
aware of the temper of the people of
Maine toward corporations He be-
lieyed this due in great measure to
the mismanagement of the railroads in
the past, but he doubted whether any
man on the floor knew whether the
Maine Central can afford to allow a
twc-cent mileage. 1T may be-" he
averred, that they will have to
charge more, or it may be that they
ought to charge less
He continued with the declaration
that the railroads had been the most
important factor in Names indus
trial movement, and expressed the
sentiment of the majority of the State
committee that it would be unfair and
unjust to state what conclusion the
Public Utilities Commission should
make as to mile rates.
1T seems he said. that for the
great Republican party to attempt to
punish the railroads for a fancied
wrong is far from commendatory.
Our relations should be determined in
the earnest hope of cooperation.
The amendment was overwhelming

EDUCATION IN THE ARMY

How Uncle Sam keeps officers and
men in his army up to the top notch
of efficiency is told in a special repor,
on Educational Systems in the Am
erican Army" in the Annual Report OF
the Commissioner of Education just
issued. The statement was prepared
by Capt. Douglas Macarthur and ap-
proved by General Leonard Wood.
mo country in the world has as
complete a system of professional
scholastic training for its officers a:
the United States" declares Capt
Macarthur. This is due to the in.
herent difference between the military
establishments of foreign nations and
that of our own. Their armies are al
all times kept upon a war footing, a.
a result Of which they have ample o.
portunity for the perfect training o.
the practical duties of the military
profession.
In such an army, the main object IS
to train every man for the eficienr
performance Of his duties in the grade
which he holds when war comes. A
lieutenant does not dream of becom-
ing a captain merely as the result OF
war except as a vacancy is made for
him in the casualties of battle. Only
in the same way does a captain expect
to become a colonel; nor would the
idea be tolerated that great numbers
of trained line officers are to be SUD
denly transferred to various staff po-
sitions.
Their organizations are formed up.
On the theory that here is nothing
mysterious in the art of war that
technical and scientific training il
needed by only small portion OF

military officers; that cvertain things
which a Napoleon must know; every
officer must know, and can as readily
acquire as he; while those things
which differentiate a Napoleon from
other generals can not be acquired in
any school, not even in that OF war.
Such a system would be thorough
ly unsound if transplanted to the
American Army, the organization of
which is quite different from contin-
entail armies. In fact, the most strik-
ing feature in our service is the alb
eence of what constitutes the very
essence of the foreign establishments;
rat is, a great standing army serving
N corps, divisions, and brigades, in
hich the average officer CT any grade

tactical work and with the minimum

Our system of military education
must therefore differ from that of the
ether great nations of the world. 1t,
must be such as to educate our officers.

to perform the duties of far-advanc2d

position to demand and get an appro-
priation from the state double the
present pittance of $4,000. $4,000 Will
make the A. & NJ. college a valuable
asset to Americas and Sumter county.
1t is fact that the school already
is accepting pupils from other districts
and even other states. The capacity
of the school is limited and dozens of
pupils were turned away last term for
lack of dormitory facilities. The Amer
icus school can be made valuable as
set for the whole state. All that isl
necessary is for the citizens of Ameri-
Gus to join hands and provide funds
that will prove to the state legislature
that they want to increase the etfcieu-
cy of the school.
1t is fact that several responsible
parties stand ready to contribute heav-
lily to the fund. provided the rest of
Americas will do her share 1t is also
fact that an out-of-town capitalist
who has made his name famous by
the erection of Libraries all over the
country is ready tao assist materially,
provided Americas wants to do her
share.
Will Americas stand still and sec
the college struggle on her yearly ap-
preparation of $4,000 without even au
effort to make her bigger and better
institution? $4,000 is a mere pittance
when compared to the good that Will
result, if it is guided in these channels.

Atlanta with her characteristic get

to raise $4,000 for the Georgia School

CITIZENS MAKE REPLY.

To The Editor
As representatives of the citi-
zens to, whom Mrs. P. M. Fuller re-
fers in her article which appeared
in The Gazette last week, the under
signed desire to. say, that her state
ment is misleading, and in part err
roneous. To the school children to
whom this lady's information was
largely directed, we wish to say that
the United States has no National
air or anthem, never had and in prob
ability never will have. This infor-
nation comes from the New Inter-
national Encyclopedia at the public
library, which doubtless is authentic.
That the Star Spangled Banner is
the official air Of our army and navy
is correct, but there is a vast differ
ence in the two words, national and
official
