Hard to Understand.

Arnold DAILY says that once, when
he was talking to Bernard Shaw, the
latter admonished him, If you wish to
get on in the world never take any
body's advice"
This" said DAILY, resolved itself
into a paradox, for if l took Mr..
Shaw's advice was taking some
body's advice, and If l took some,
body's advice then 1 should never get
on, yet If / didn't take Mr.. Shaw's ad-
vice l shouldn't get on, and dwell,
came to the conclusion that Bernard
Shaw was one of those people whom,
as Lord Dundreary says, no feller can
understand Baltimore Sun.

National defense, however,
must not be confused with mill
tarism. Extensive and competitive
ornaments and preparation for war
have not stopped war, but have
furnished the means and causes
for bringing about war. Nations
must be able to make effective their
best conceptions of what will pro-
mote the welfare of nations and
continued progress of civilization.
The power to enforce the right Is
tremendous element in establish
ing justice. Under present condi-
tions it would be suicidal for any
one nation TO begin disarmament.
The power of self-defense, even
though not exercised, is the
greatest force for the maintenance
of justice and national rights. An
ti-militarism does not mean to
give up the right of national de-
Tense
Q. Do you recognize the fact
that the present strength of our
land fcrces is totally inadequate
for the defense of the nation, and
that some policy should be adopted
by the Government, by which
there wonld be available a large
force of trained men who could be
called out In the event of war; Do
you think that this could be done
without creating militarism In this
country
President Gompers: 'Prepard-

ness for national defense must keep
pace with the increased growth
and the increasing interests of ma
tions. Some governmental policy
must be adopted that will provide
the necessary means for this de
fense. National defense can be
provided for without creating mill
tarism if the organizations for de-
fense are democratic and are under
democratic control. In our coun-
try control over the Army and
Navy is placed in the hands of the
President of the United States, who
is elected by the people. The con-
manders- in-chief of the state Mill
tias are the governors of the states,
who are elected by the people.
Thus control over national defeuse
is finally vested in the citizenship,
provision which is In harmony
with deme ecratic ideas. 1t may be
true that the people of our country
do not fully realize the political
power that they have in their own
political interests in using that
power to the fullest extent; never
theless, the fact remains that ulti
mate control is vested in the people
who can use it wheu necessity
arises. 1t is also true that the
functions of the State Militia have
frequently been perverted and that
the working people have suffered
through such perversions. Abuses
of military power can be remedied
by the people themselves when the
military is demecratically organ
lied and controlled citizen soldiery.
"The more democracy that is In
fused into the military the less will

parativeiy small number of highly
trained professional soldiers.
Whenever any one group becomes
exclusive and isolated from the
general interests and life of the ma
tion there is created condition
out of which may come an insidious
danger to democracy. However,
any policy for general military
training must be carefully safe
guarded to prevent its becoming
mere agency for inculcating mill
tary ways and purposes. In any
such plan publicity and democracy
of control are necessary to safe
guard the national welfare.

SteIIer,s Sea Cow.

An inhabitant of the northern seas
which has disappeared is Steller's sea
cow. When Behring'S expedition was
caught In the ice near the strait
which bears his name his crew lived
mainly on the flesh Of this huge and
stupid Arctic animal. 1t was larger
than an elephant, full grown speci-
mems being as much as twenty five
feet long and weighing five or six tons
apiece. 1t had no teeth at all, their
place being taken by great horny
plates. The very last of these harm
less monsters is said to have been
killed by Russian sealer in the sum-
mer of 1S4S.-New York Press.

be the danger Of developing the
pernicious characteristics of milf
tarism. The human element in all
of us makes US want to follow the
trade or profession which we have
acquired. The lawyer wishes to
practice his profession; the banker
wants to give his mind and ability
TO financial problems, and it is only
reasonable to suppose that a soldier
trained for his profession hopes
some day to have an opportunity
to practice that profession. 1t is
necessary to provide a curb for this
lingoism, which frequently has led
nations into conflict with other na-
tions.
