IMPRoMPTU WAR MINISTER
How Benjamin Franklin Organized
the Militia for National Defense

the Militia for National Defense
About 1744 Great Britain was at
war with Spain and France. Among
the American colonies Pennsylvania
was the only one that was absolutely
defenseless The Quaker Assembly
refused TO pass a militia law. and
there was no reason why the enem-
les of the mother country could not
sail up the Delaware. land force
and devastate the commonwealth.
Benjamin Franklin was just coming
into public life He had changed the
old night-watchman system into a
regulated police force. formed vol
unteer fire brigade, founded a public
library and established the Philoso
phical society He was determined
that Pennsylvania should no longer
be defenseless-the doctrine of non.
resistance to the contrary notwith-
standing Ate publishing a pamph-
let, entitled plain Truth he called
a meeting of the younger citizens OF
Philadelphia, haranged them on the
impending obliteration of the city by
the Spaniards and French. called for
volnnteersand then and there raised
regiment of 1900 men Within Il
very brief period adjacent places con-
tributed their quota and Pennsyl-
ania had an oiglrized drilled and &C
coutered militia 10000 strong.
When it came to providing artil
lery. Franklins ingenuity again suf-
feed. BY means of a lottery enough
money was raised to construct FORTH
cations and purchase cannon. some
from Boston and some from England
These were deemed insufficient.
Franklin headed committee to wait
upon Gov Clinton and borrow add
tional guns. Clinton refused to lend.
but the same night at dinner he so
softened by degrees under the in
fiuences of Ma,,lerl that with each
bumper he offered Pennsylvania the
loan of more and more artillery. until
his proffer reached IS mounted can
non, which duly arrived in this city
That was 10 years ago Ten thous-
and men, supported by artillery, was
not considered more than adequate
for the defense of the sparsely popu.
lated commonwealth. Man for man,
by hardness and resourcefulness the
rank and file must have been much
above the level OF the paid soldiery
of Europe. as the subsequent Revolu-
tionary war amply demonstrated. -

RINEHART SAYS
AMENDMENT IS GOOD

TUCSON. Nov. 1S.-G. F. Rine-
hart. secretary OF the State Temper
ance Federation, who has returned
to Tucson, declares that the prohi-
bition amendment to the constitu-
ton is seli-executing, and that it
will go into effect one minute after
midnight OF December 81. in spite
OF the efforts OF some attorneys to
get fees from the liquor men upon
the pretext OF fighting it.
The section providing for the en-
actment by the legislature OF such
laws as may be necessary to enforce
it was put in for safety" he contin-
ued. Il know what that amendment
is better than any lawyer in the
state because / drew it up and
nave studied the law on the subject
thoroughly. ] have read the objec-
tons by the Prescott attorney and
they are all bosh.
The amendment is patterned al
ter the fifteenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States
which guarantees the right to vote
regardless OF race, color, or pre-
vious condition of servitude. There
is section in it which provides for
legislation by congress such as nee
essary to carry it into effect. That
was put in as precaution.
Under the legislative clause in
the prohibition amendment we want
an custer law, to put out OF office
any official who refuses to enforce
it. a search and seizure law. a law
providing for a permanent injunc-
ton against property owners from
allowing their places to be used for
the sale of liquor. and prima facie
evidence law. which will make a
federal license prima facie evidence
of the intent to violate the prohibit
ton law"
