was one of considerable progress and
improvement. The loss in number
has brought about increased efficien-
cy, and he believes the result will be
an increase in strength both in organ
izations and personnel
General Mills believes that this i'm
provement may be made more certain
by enactment of a militia pay law. He
strongly urges federal and state CO.
operation on the ground that the or
ganized militia's welfare can be fos-
tered only in that way. The time has
arrived, he says, for the department to
formulate Il scheme for theoretical in
struction of the militia of all the
states.
Some of the states are severely crit
icised for failure to take proper care
of government property. About 81
100000 worth was dropped or carried
on suspended account. OF the total
number of rifles on hand in one state
there We're not enough seryiceable ones
to equip the troops for target practice
through sheer neglect, In another the
number of rifles short would equip Il
regiment at peace strength.
General Mills urges arrangement of
the militia upon proportionate basis
of the various arms and believes the
quickest way of correcting the present
condition lies in the conversion of sutfi-
cient of the infantry into the other
arms to strike n balance. Any legisla-
ton should carry with it provision for
Il reserve to be given Il limited amount
of field training under pay.
The strength of the militia at the
end of the fiscal year was Q, 1870 officers
and 111.672 enlisted men. a net de
crease of II officers and 1.03S enlisted
men as compared with the preceding
year
For some unknown reason the de
partment has failed to secure an in
crease in the coast artillery militia.
and it is suggested that the law be
amended to permit the secretary Of
war to allot the militia funds among
the several arms of the service in
proportion to the strength in which
he considers they should be main

tower of strength in the last Demo

alive to what has been done and what
is now going on in Wisconsin politics.
The article is as follows:
Truth makes an excellent corner
stone for a newspaper which seeks
permanency and popularity. No pub
lie man has ever yet been destroyed by
the purely malicious lying of news
paper. No newspaper was ever built
up by the qualification of the malice of
its editor in the matter of lying. The
experience of many editors in the
campaign of 1919, who tried to divide
the Democratic party by abuse of
Joseph Il. Davies, John Awkward and
other eminent Democrats in charge of
Hon. Woodrow Wilson's campaign il
Wisconsin, ought to teach them thai
the invention of falsehoods and the
lying by innuendo as a means of work

THE STATE CAMPAIGN.

The Milwaukee journal urges Wis
consin Democrats to nominate State
Senator Paul Ilustng as their cand
date for United States Senator.
Two years ago The journal was II
leader among the great independent
newspapers which supported Mr.. Will
son. Both in the primary campaign
and after the nomination its services
were invaluable. 1t was sorcly disap-
pointed because the Democrats of Wis
consin were perverted on state issues.
1t is therefore no wonder that The
journal Is anxious that the right kind
of Democrats be nominated this year.
There is contest, nation wide, and
running through all political parties,
between what Mr.. Wilson calls the
Liberal and the Tory forces. That this
conflict is irrepressible, right here in
Wisconsin The Journal has time and
again very clearly pointed out, This is
the condition which confronts us. To
meet it fairly. and to win and hold
public confidence the Democrats should
nominate capable, tried and trusted,
forward looking man for each Of the
elective state offices ard for United
States Senator, and should adopt
platform in line with the national ad-
ministration, and, true to Democratic
traditions, in favor of rigid economy in
the conduct of public affairs. This can
best be done by concerted action ON tho
part OF Democrats who desire such
candidates and such II platform. Let
the candidates be selected In wisdom,
and let there be right good team work
in supporting them at the primary.
And in this team work we are looking
to The journal to lead the press as it
1t led two years ago. But the Septem

gether. In union il strength.
The fight centers AZ much around the
governorship rs it does around the
senatorship. Now, as never before, the
governor is looked to for responsible
leadership, The whole ticket should
be considered together and good man
selected for each place. 1t is not too
early to consider the merits of different
candidates; but it is too early to prac-
tically nominate them. Let liz first be
sure that we are right; and then, when
the proper time comes, go ahead and
nominate and elect men who will sup
port the Wilson administration and
give the state of Wisconsin good gov

Gratis will pull together.
