Rashness

threat TO use the militia to en-
force the law when the enforcement
OF the law is within the province OF
duly constituted civil authorities re-
fleets a dangerous tendency and yet
such a threat was made by Governor
Hatfield few days ago at Parkers-
burg.
The absurdity of such n threat must
become apparent when It is considered
that even If the militia were ordered
into Ohio county. it would not be
within the power Of the militia to try
cases Of violation OF the civil law or
statutes. The military authorities
would have no power to try cases OF
bootlegging. The militia could not
force prosecuting attorney to pros
ccute nor Judge to render a decision
in accordance with the wishes OF the
military power. II would be within
the province OF the militia TO preserve
order If the civil authorities were un-
able 70 cope with disorder
II the authorities I'm Ohio county
are not doing their duty. then they
should be removed and the law pro-
yides way for them TO be removed.
II the Goycs@Or can send an armed
force into Ohio county 20 administer
civil law. he could with equal free
dom order an armed force into any
county to enforce his decrees. The
mere fact that he has threatened 10
use the militia reflects n tendency TO
use the mailed fist whenever the Gov
ernOr would have his own way.
The prohibition laws should be en-
forced in Ohio county II they are
not being properly enforced then II
is the duty Of the Governor to take
steps TO have the officials there re-
moved, but II IS rash indeed when the
executive seeks to substitute the mil
itary for the civil authorities But
did the Governor really intend TO send
the militia to Ohio county, We doubt
IL. II that is the case. why did he an
nounce that he intended to do So.

Preparedness for Defense

There will be a widespread feeling
Of relief through out the country when
it learns that President Wilson will,
through his influence with his party
in Congress. compel such measures to
be taken as shall put the country in a
state OF thorough preparedness for
defense" The presidents remarks TO
the new advisory board OF the navy
yesterday leave no room for doubt
that he has become convinced that
while we may "be too proud to fight"
we are neither too proud nor too
foolish to put our defenses in order.
And 1t Is significant TO find the govern
ment committed TO the principle that
the national defense Is something
more than the building OF battleships
and battle cruisers, than the erection
Of coast fortincations. than the enlist
ing OF more men I'm the military and
naval service II calls for the organ
lied cooperation OF the industries OF
the country, and this is the main in
tent Of the summons to the scientific
experts to confer as TO ways and
means to make the navy adequate and
powerful The details OF prepared
ness should be left to the experts; the
essential thing IS the universal recog-
milton Of the need. The presidents
influence in securing that recognition
is now assured Philadelphia Ledger.

teams next season. They will be able
to do this because they have an appren.
