OUR MILITARY PROWESS

+. In his article today on the military
history and resources of the United
States, Oscar King Davis tells The
Times readers just how the military
establishment of this country COM
pares with those of other countries.
We are wont to think of the United
States as in the class with the great
powers of Europe; to imagine that
we deserve comparison with Ger
many, France, Russia, Britain, and
the rest. In wealth, it is, true, we
lead them all, in population we are
second only to Russia.
( But in military efficiency we drop
into the class with Montenegro!
Roumania could put into the field a
trained army Of 100000 men if need
required; which explains why Rou-
mania is courted by all Europe at
this time. The United States would
require at least year and half to
duplicate that achievement. Bull
garia could, in few hours, turn out
an army, skilled, trained, veteran,
equipped, as big as the United States
could prepare in year.
These despised little states of Bal
kama in short, are vastly our super
iors in military power. True, we
have the people and the resources;
but they would be of little use once
war were started and we were not
ready.

MISTAKES IN COLORADO

In less than one year after the
Ludlow massacre" in which the
wives and children of striking coal
miners were suffocated in burning
tent colony after militiamen had
opened fire with a machine gun the
house of representatives of the Col
orado Legislature has just passed a
series of bills which, if enacted, can
have no other effect than to stir up
again such bitterness of feeling as
brought Ludlow to dire straits.
This series of measures is pal
pably designed to increase the power
and the terror of the State militia.
One bill makes it a felony for any
one to attack a militiaman. An
other makes it misdemeanor to re-
fuse to obey an order from militia
officer. Gaping the remarkable
series is a bill defining treason"
against the State and prescribing
penalties Of life Imprisonment or
death.
This is getting pretty close to ter

SERGIUS WITTE

; Benjamin Disraeli came up from
the people of England, to be the
leader of reactionism in its effort
to suppress the people. He was the
high priest of toryism and of i'm
perialism, which commonly go to-
gether; because the glamour of
imperialistic designs blinds people
to the fact that they must pay the
bills.
Sergius Witte was to Russia very
much what Disraeli was to Britain.
He was first of all, the great in
,telligence of his time and his party.
AS Disraeli was Jew, Witte made a
Jewess his wife; and as Disraeli was
eternally the victim of the snobbery
of the very faction that was COM
PEELED to accept his leadership, so
"Witte was made to suffer for his al
lance with the unfortunate race. To
his credit be it said, he was always
the loyal friend of the Jews, and in
this regard, at least, did not surren-
der to his natural impulse of rigor
and reaction.
1t is true that Witte was the great
constructive publicist of his genera
ton in Russia; and because of his
constructive achievements, many
have imagined he was liberal. Far
from it. He was, on one side of his
family, descended from that same
Morse strain that also gave the
Romanoff dynasty to rule over the
Russians. He was, like the ruling
family, more outlander than Rus
sian; the representative of an ut
terly different attitude and purpose
than that Of the real Russian people.
Witte was prominently the intel
ligent tory. He knew that the peo-
pie would not be denied entirely. He
wanted the state to be powerful, and
he wanted its power held firmly in
the grip of the ruling class in or
der that with it they might give the
people just enough to keep them
complaisant. He was the Hamilton
of Russia; the apostle of sound
money and of protection, seeking to
bring prosperity to the people, but
to keep them from getting too much
political power. He started the de.
velopment of the industries of Rus.
sia, nationalized its railroad system
created the government monopoly ir
the liquor traffic, builded the trans.
Siberian road, created the golc
standard which did more than any
other thing to command recognition
for Russia as great, modern, civil
lied state. He borrowed money
wherever he could get it; borrowed il
in billions; and he created sources OF
revenue whereWith TO carry his loans
and develop his great projects. H,
was in short the great constructive
figure in his country; and though HI
did not believe in forcing the wal
with Japan, he helped to carry it,
financial burdens, and when tn,
peace conference sat down at Ports
mouth to discuss terms, Witte wa
the dominating figure in the confer
ence; to him was due chief credit fo
diplomatic victory that well-nigl
wiped off the discredit of the scan
dalous military defeat that Russi;
had suffered. He was made premie
at the time when Nicholas seemed
determined to make some substantial
concessions to the democratic sen
timent of the country; but the con

cessions amounted to little, and
Witte was skillful enough to steer
the government back into the hands
of the reactionaries without permit
ting the new duma TO acquire any
real power.

In this weeks Hummer we are
announcing the candidacy of Mr..

ty.
Mr.. GiIfoy is now unable to make
a thorough canvass of the county
and sincerely hopes that the voters
will kindly consider his present CON
ditiOn with a good word down the
line.
His father was once a prominent
Representative Of our county and
known by everybody as a man of
honest ideals and high intellectual
power to do the right and best
things for his people. His son is
che ditto of his father and no man
can say aught against him. High
morals, kind to his People, neigh
bOrly and friendly-tell in a few
words the inner self of MIR. Hitler
Gilfoy
For some years he was a grocery
man and made good in that call
ing. Now he is convaIescing from
a severe sickness of several months.
Wearing a plaster cast over bis
body only few people can AnOw
just how much he suffers day and
night. But we are to say that his
health is much improved and before
many weeks he feels that he will be
a well man. His legion of friends
hopeful hope for that desired rejuv-
enation.
The Hummer believes that he is
qualified for this position and earn

ton of his claims on the big cleo
ton day.
