individual state have any greater rights or
powers than the nation at large when its good
name is DETAINED?
Regardless OF the question OF guilt or nno-
cence of an individual, law and order should
prevail and the power of the Executive to
pardon or commute when exercised should be
upheld, not only by the citizens of that state,
but by the citizens of the entire country. The
question then arises: In what manner can the
proposed change be accomplished? To the
writer, nothing but amendment to the Con-
stitution can accomplish that purpose unless
Congress has full power under Section 4, Ar
ticle w, as hereinafter suggested. 1t would
be in keeping with the honor and pride of the
nation to seek such an amendment at this time
and thus prevent repetition OF the shameful
violence practsed on Leo M. Frank
If the nation can repel the invasion of
foreign enemy although such an invasion is
confined to but one state, so also should the
national government be permitted to resent
an invasion on the part Of internal enemies
against law and order, when their conduct re-
fleets upon the entire country.
The internal enemy who, with utter dsre-
gard of law and order, steals up in the night
and with one stroke destroys the honor of
people is more to be feared than the enemy
who advances with an army or warshps to
give combat. With loud acclaim the former
declares his patriotism while willing to de-
stroy the foundations of our government and
nterferes with its protection 20 the minority
and the oppressed The advancing army can
be fought in kind; the other. in his coward
ice, turks in the shadow and withholds his
identity.
The national government is far better quail
fed to deal with the contemptuous action of
the Georgia mob than are the representatives
of that state, or OF any state should like
situation there arise. Its sole object would
be the punishment of the Indicators, and
wipe out the stain on the honor OF our land
Give to the Federal authorities, through its
Department. of Justice, authority to enforce
laws of state when the local officers fail in
their duty, either through fear or favor
STATE STATUTE A REMEDY.
Modern violence should be met with mod
ern means. Where old methods have become
antiquated new ones should be devised 10
meet the new conditions. Loud would be the
cry OF advocates OF states rights against
supervision by the Federal government over
the enforcement OF state laws, but more
careful study OF the remedy suggested should
convince them that no attempt is being made
to have Congress legislate for the various

that could be hoped for would be that at

the advance of an invader.
The problem of handling mass of troops is
very easy on sheet OF paper or on map; in
practice it is vastly difficult. Mcclellan aver
aged one mile a day when he attempted to
move 100000 men up the James Peninsula.
In 1868 the same army had acquired little but
not very much mobility. In 1864 it could be
moved effectively at times though blunders,
crossings, delays were not nirequent. And
il was not until 1865 that finally it attained
real rapidity and elasticity. Our public does
not realize the immense problems presented
by the railroad mobilization, the concentration
and the movement of such masses as 100000
men, The Germans have long studied them
and hold no information more precious and
more secret. When we talk of millions OF
volunteers, believe that we are talking OF
national defence We are really doing the
exact opposite. We are talking OF creating
the greatest possible national menace, delu-
sion that would prove merely the means tor
squanderng billions of dollars and thousands
of lives We could not handle them il we had
them, and if we could handle them, in nine
cases out of ten they would be useless against
a trained army. All military history and the
facts Of the present war demonstrate this fully
We have Federal volunteer law based on
the emergency of the Spanish War and on
our recent difficulties in Mexico. The assump-
ton behind this law is that in time OF war
we should create an army by virtual fusion
of regulars and militia, that is, an army
wholly of one line and of low training
Against SPAIN success apparently justified US;
but those who know what happened, how
our opponents helped us, realize that we had
a great deal better luck than we deserved. 1t
may be that at the present juncture the ad-
ministration, which was obviously not placed

interference Of the peace and happiness of the
citizens Of that state. True it is that none but
the inhabitants of Texas are affected directly
by such Interference. but it is conceded that
the invaders become the enemy of the entire
nation, and the national government must
protect one OF its constituent states from
foreign enemy. This particular protection is
given under Section of Article w OF the
Federal Constitution, which provides, THE
United States shall guarantee to every state

What Shall We Do with States That rAisbehave?

Under this article of the Constitution,
it rests with Congress to decide what gov
eminent is the established one in a state
For as the United States guarantees to
each state d republican form OF govern
nent, Congress must necessarily decide
what government is established in the
state before it can determine whether II
is republican or not. And when the Sena'
tors and Representatives OF state are
admitted into the councils of the Union
the authority of the government under
which they are appointed as well as its
republican character is recognized by the
proper constitutional authority. And TINS
decision is binding on every other depart
ment of the government, and could NOT
be questioned in judicial tribunal

One Of the most striking lessons Of the war

troops have been assigned TO tasks measured

quality being the direct result Of high military

ratio OF two to three I think he knew exactly
what he was talking about. And it may be
added that 100000 Austrians under the direct
control Of the German General Staff that is,
Of half dozen highly selected and trained
men, might well be worth 100000 under less
efficient control.
Turning the question again to another angle,
let us examine the records Of those high Of
fcers to establish a finer difference. We
should probably estimate the French and Ger
man armies as representing similar values be

it may be hoped that some states, at least,
will decline to give their support to such
course. The state militias have an important
part to play but it is as second line troops.

defending the nation, and for that purpose it
should be able to mobilize and concentrate

beginnings of an educational system. The
state rnitias are IN a position to set good
