Maj. Goethals quite pleasantly and favor

general terms. Col. Goethals Is a soldier.
He is a professional military engineer.
His life long he has regarded the chief of

Why Should Change Be Madep

Nor do l minimize its importance or
its dignity, for no higher duty could fall
to any one than to maintain the good
order and the law-abiding condition of a
great metropolis of 100000 of people.
But why not keep Col. Goethals in the
place he likes. in the work he likes to do.
and Why suggest that he enter other
fields where success is less assured and
in which possibly men with greater
specific experience in that kind of work
could serve the high purpose that Mayor
Mitchell has? I have personal knowledge
of Col. Harbord's great tact. capacity
and training for such a police service.
and I do not hesitate thus publicly to
recommend him to Mayor Mitchell. should
Col. Goetha.s be treated as / have sug-
gested. and should no other available
New York man fill the requirements.

NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN

Organization Declares Belief That

Announcement was made today at the
Office of the National Defense League
that the league is preparing to take up
with all commercial organisations in
every state in the Union the plan Of In
teresting business men in the Nationa
Guard. which has been so successfully
carried out in Washington with the
Chamber of Commerce and the Board o:
Trade. in behalf of the District Of Column
bia National Guard.
Urged by Representative Kahn of Cali
fornia. chairman of the league; Repre-
sentative .noWland Of California and
other members of the executive COM
mittee, who recently addressed the Cham
Der of Commerce and the Board of Trade
there has been a renewal Of interes;
among the business men of Washington
In the local National Guard. This has
been shown by the action of the Cham
Der Of Commerce ia passing resolutions
that employees who are members OF the
District Guard should be allowed by Their
employers fourteen days in each year fol
military duty without loss Of pay, in ad
dition to their regular vacations. The
Chamber Of Commerce has also created
committee on military affairs, a COM
mttee which in the long history of the
chamber never before existed. This
committee is now taking an active in
terest in District Guard affairs. The
Board of Trade. which was addressed
Thursday night at the New Willard by
Representative Kahn. is expected soon
to take similar action. The matter i:

Agree ON Lock Canal.

The situation in respect to the adop-
ton of the plan was critical. President
Roosevelt and ! had reached a decided
canal. II was within the executive
power TO determine the type of canal,
but IL was so important d matter. and
affected SO much the amount OF money
to be expended, that Mr.. Roosevelt was
unwilling to assume the responsibility
without having his decision supported by
congressional action"
The speaker gave credit to Senator
Knox, Senator then REPRESENTATIVE Bur-
ton and others for the work they did to
convert the members Of Congress. but
said the ''al eat power was the influence
Of President Roosevelt. We hear a
good deal today about the overgrown
executive power, but there were brave
men before .Agamemnon, he said. But
no one Will ever know. except those who
were engaged. how close the tight was
and how uncertain the result" Mr.. Taft
said he acted as parliamentary whip on
that particular issue"
Following the retirement of Engineer
Stevens, in charge of the work on the
isthmus the former President said that
Mr.. Roosevelt and | concluded that we
ought TO avail ourselves of the services OF
that able, patriotic corps, the army en-
gineers. who had had greater civil con-
struction under their control and had had
more contracts to make and more money
to spend than any similar body in the
world.

sued instructions to all heads of bureaus
in their departments that absence of any
employe on National Guard service must
not mitigate against the employees ef-
ticiency record. The other cabinet Off
GERS are expected soon to take similar
action.
These orders are regarded of the utmost
importance to federal employees. who are
ington but everywhere throughout the
country. for the orders apply not only in
this city but to all federal employees
everywhere. The effect is that govern
ment employees throughout the country
will feel more like serving in the Ma
tional Guard. and those already in the
guard will be allowed plenty of time for
military duty
Proposes Nationwide Campaign.
With this problem disposed of the
league is now preparing to take up a
nationwide campaign with all COM
mercial organizations, and to urge
business men to take u greater inter
est in their local National Guard Or
CARNATIONS. to assist and encourage
their employees to serve in the National
Guard and to evince more personal
interest in the second line OF national
defense.

something out the ordinary was to

more than smile a smile accompanied
by nervous witches from time to tim
