Site for Woman's Reformatory.
The state board OF control will en-
deavor to decide upon the location OF
the proposed women's reformatory
authorized by the Thirty-fifth general
assembly within the next few days.
The longer the n after is delayed the
more difficult the task will become
for the reason that the women's clubs
OF the state are sending in petitions
and counter petitions urging loca-
tons
The board received petition sign
ed by 800 prominent women of Ce-
dar Rapids, asking that the reforma-
terry for women be located at Ana
mosa. A similar petition has been
received from the women's organiza-
tions OF Cedar Falls. Several other
cities are urging the board to buy
site near Des Moines. Other petit
tions favor any place but Anamosa
for the reformatory. Rockwell City
and Atlantic are bidding for the in
stitution. m
A tract of land OF about 1G0 acres
is all that will be needed for the new
institution, II is said.

They look Robes Of Pietx.

When Rev. F. w. Carstens, pastor
of the North Broadway Baptist church
at Los Angeles, suggested that his
hearers clothe themselves in the garb
of righteousness. he spoke figuratiye-
ly. But someone apparently lacked
the power of abstraction, and the pas
tor now believes his words were mis-
construed. While he launched the
exhortation, in speaking on High
Ideals for 1915 Actualized," some per-
son. presumably the literal one, made
away with the minister's overcoat and
hat and also an overcoat of one of the
deacons.
The police are now searching for
one who quite missed the 1915 ideals,
but equipped himself with enough Of
the garb of righteousness for two.

The Bogey of Militarism.

The pacfst, in his impassioned TRADES
against militarism, would imply that it
connotes a highly contagious state Of
mind. This is at the basis Of all his ar
guments against increase of armament
or greater preparation for war: once re-
lax the strict quarantine which confines
militarism to a very small, detached por-
ton Of our populace, and it will spread
like a pestilence corrupting the nation.
The proposal to introduce military train
ing into the schools and colleges Of the
country, 10 maintain a reserve Of poten-
tial fighting men, meets with his hyster-
ical opposition on this ground. It Is one
Of his fundamental errors.
Miitarism is the reverse Of contagious,
and particularly in a democracy. Where
it permeates nations life, as in Ger
many. it Is the product Of most assiduous
cultivation. Even in Germany Bern
hardi deplored the strong tendency away
from il which is inherent in modern
society i is probably safe to say that
in this country not even universal con-
scription. if such q thing could be con-
ceived, would permit it to make eppre-
ciable Roadway against its two natural
enemies, democracy and commercislism.
This is due largely TO the stern Writ
ues inherent in mlit&rism-ob obedience,
self-discipline, unrcmunerative and eX-
acting industry, high physical efficiency
and reverential patriotism. These
things we as a people are deficient in.
We have. on the other hand q plethora
of the commercial virtues atquisitiye-
ness, Imagination. energy, democracy.
These are indigenous with us. They
need little or no cultivation. Commercial
ism is. in fact, contagious state Of
mind, in contrast 10 miitarism. since it
is based not on self-sacrifice but on self
indulgence.
Both commercialsm and militarism
have their grave evils, but the virtues
of one help TO offset the evils of the
other. We, as a nation. need an antidote
10 commcrcialsm. We could stand a
heavy dose Of militarIsm without any
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-03-01

ocratic failure is that it has been so
complete that there is no present pros
pect that the Republican party will feel
the necessity to nominate its best, TO face
and abolish the evils within and the
abuses that have once produced an In
surrection. If the Democratic party has
suffered from the Wilson failure, the Re
publican has not suffered less. About tho
worst thing that can happen 70 the latter
would he 10 win negative victory in
1916, to win on Democratic blunders ard
shortcomings and not through any new
and real effort on its own part to satisfy
the intelligence and conscience of new
generation just rising TO political COM
mand.

danger Of its engulfng us. Yet Ameri-
can educators, openly In favor Of the un-
necessary cultivation Of the commercial
virtues, resent the suggestion that the
educational system be used TO build up
a much needed reserve for the defence
Of the country. "Organized insanity is
the term applied to what Mr.. Schaeffer
Superintendent of Public Schools in
PENNSYLVANIA calls the introduction OF
militarism into the public schools OF the
United States" Dr. Finley, our own
state Commissioner, also emphatically
vetoes the idea.
Perhaps these gentlemen now think
the Boy Scout movement, hailed such
short time ago rs splendid agency Tor
the promotion of discipline and whole
some morals, n pernicious planting OF the
militaristic germ. The introduction into
our high schools and colleges of the mill
tary instruction and training advocated
by General Wood would simply amplft
and extend the Boy Scout movement, cul-
tivating exactly the same manly virtues
it is designed TO bring out. Does this
sound like Prussanizing of our youth?
The trouble is the word "militarism'
has been gathering obnoxious associa-
tions at such rate in the last SIX
months that with certain minds It has
come TO embrace almost everything that
is anathema. But in view o. this coun-
try's defencelessness in war-ridden
world and its natural immunity from the
Aorescence OF militarism, is it not high
time that we looked facts in the face and
substituted common sense for hysteria?
