 eountry's insular possessions. If an army of defense had to be mobilized on short notice, regulars and national guardsmen combined available for duty would scarcely total 100000.
 One reason, and the principal req son, why the National Guard is not considerably larger than it is today is because of the attitude of en- ployers of young men toward the citi- zen-soldiery. Many business concerns will not employ man who belongs to the military While such policy may be justified in some cases, employers, as a rule, should be patriotic enough to allow men in their service to serve their country, especially when the time taken from their usual work is almost negligible.
 The National Guard should be fully 0,000 strong. Were it so the war would ask for only small increase in the regular establishment.

WASTED TIME

From the Memphis News-Scimitar
 Some people find curious ways of em- ploying their talents, and Prof. w. A. Cook of the University of Colorado. and Prof M " O'Shead of the University of Wisconsin, have made study of the spell inC and vocabularies of a large number or persons in every station in life. and they
 have published the result of their in vestigations in a book In list Of WO,ooo words used in private correspondence, they find the following classes of words dc mirant in letters written my women:
 Articles of food and terms relating to the consumption and preparation thereof; articles of wearing apparel, textiles and terms closely relateds parts of the body. care of the body, personal appearance,
 animals, aesthetics, color, diseases and their treatment, parts of the house fur rltude, measures. correspondence, domes- tie activities and relationships Words dominant in letters written by women; aggression, contest, physical and mental; institutional life and social organizations Naturally they found good many words that could not be classified at all. And to the average mind it would appear that there was no necessity for classifying any of them. unless as a means of wasting time.

pealed to the supreme court, and that this administratio ton, which has given these re- cent welcome assurances to the business same course as that pursued by it's prede- cessor in attempting without just cause to dissolve the largest industrial corpora tion in the country.
 The reason given by Attorney General Gregory for appealing the case is not that it is important and should finally be set tied by the supreme court, but because "f am in complete accord with the yiews of the law upon which it is based" In otfer words, MT. Gregory stands in regard to this case precisely where President Taft and Mir Wickersham stood. and kolds his and their opinions as to the meaning of the Sherman antitrust act or more value than the recent unanimous decision of the United States district court of New Jersey
 Either the President was insincere in his protestations of assurance to Ameri- can business, which is impossible, or At torrey General Gregory's declara tion is inconsistent with the administration openly proclaimed policy and the Presi- dents declaration that the road lies clear and firm before business; a road which it can travel without fear of em rrassment." This statement and Mr. Gregory's reason for appealing are ir- reccnciable. The administration either means business when it talks business to American business or it is guilty of insin- cerity and inconsistency.

Russia and the United States

A profound hatred of all things German. which has been created In Russia by the war and has resulted in sweeping reforms" directed against Germans and Austrians Tn the Russian empire, will mean a great deal eventually to the United States.
 The Russians have determined to abolish all German colonies Tn Russia; to give to war veterans, both officers and privates, lands belonging to Aus trians and Germans, except those ot Slav origin; to prohibit the naturali- zation of Germans and to prevent their holding lands in Russia, and to seouestrate all lands and goods of Aus trian and German subjects, except Slavs. They will, besides, break off permanently all trade relations with Germany.
 If will be necessary for Russia to seek new markets where she may buy goods. and her leading business men are turning to the United States. The purchase of war supplies on a tre- mendous scale is but the forerunner of a mighty commerce which seems destined to spring up between the two countries in the future. Not only are the Russians extremely friendly to- ward America, but they see many resemblances between their own coun- try and ours and they realize that the United States has solved some of it's problems in ways that may be fol- lowed in Russia. Our tremendous re- sources, our railway facilities and many phases of industrial life in this country are being studied with keen interest.
 The Russians need capital and technical experience in developing their industries. They also need raw material, which America is prepared to furnish in unlimited quantities. The United States will find in Russia a good customer for cotton, machinery and agricultural instruments. Russia expects to begin new life after the war and the indications are that her friendly attitude toward this country will give to us the trade that formerly went to Germany.

Inadequacy of the National Guard

Tn most of the states the organized militia, known as the National Guard, is not only we'll drilled, but in general efficiency it ranks very high. The trouble is there are too few of them.
 In ordinary times it has made little difference whether the National Guard was numerically strong or numerically weak; but now when the question of this country's lack of preparedness n the event of war is being widely dis cussed every phase of the army and navy is of general interest.
 The National Guard numbers-on paper-about 120,000, but less than 100000 guardsmen are available for mobilization. The organized militia is closely connected with the regular army These volunteers are almost as well drilled as the regulars and in addition to that they are well versed in the rules of war. The guard is, therefore, a valuable branch of our military system as far as it goes.
 When Congress meets Secretary of War Garrison will ask for large in- crease in the standing army; that is to say a comparatively large increase. If the purpose of the war department is to reorganize the army on basis of 25O,000 enlisted men, such num- bers would seem large in view of the fact that the army at present aggre- gates less than sO,000, with nearly half of the number stationed in this

From the Clncinnau Enqulrer-
 Maybe it is lucky for one-half the world that his better half does not know how he lives.
 Some men proclaim their honesty in loud tones so as to distract your atten- tion when they are dealing from the bot tom of the deck.
 The women laugh at the fool men who buy hair restorer from bald-headed bar bers. And the men laugh at the fool women because the beauty specialists are all so homely.
 It doesn't hurt to tell the truth once in a while. More people die from food jags than die from booze jags.

Boy Scout Moxemcnt

The recent encampment of the Boy scouts of this district was undoubtedly the finest of it's kind ever held in the state" said Louis Gelders. "The Loys enjoyed themselves to the fullest ex- tent and nothing happened to mar the success of the camp
 Owing to the fine sanitary condi- tions and the care of the scoutmasters there was not case of sickness dur Ing the entire encampment and with out doubt all the boys are benefited by their outing in the woods It oc- CUTS to me that as the Boy Scout movement is growing rapidly in this and other parts of the country now would be the time to start move ment toward establishing permanent camping grounds within easy distance to the city
 These grounds could be utilized cur ing the summer months for week end camps and would in my opinion ma terially help the movement along. consider the Boy Scout movement one of the best things ever started to make boys more manly. more brave and more chiyalric, and the movement is worthy of the support of everyone interested in the welfare of our future citizens.

STICK TO YOUR OWN GAME


 An offer of slO000. .Oo0 was once made to Augustus Heinze for hls copper mines. His estate has now been inventoried at less than sl,50o000. Heinze knew copper in Montana, but he didn't understand cop ger stocks in Wall street He refused to stick to the game he had learned in the far west. and ventured upon the tempes- tuous struggle in the east with results that paraleled disastrously the cxper- fences of other magnates. So Jim Keene had piled up a fortune in Cali fornia of several millions made in min ing stocks during the Comstock boom and lost 1t in less than a year when he tried to play the bigger game with Jay Gould. The world is fairly crowded with men who refuse to cling to the games they know and launch upon enterprises that look easy, but which they pay dear to learn. A Collins. Cobb or Baker. who are stars of the baseball diamond would scarcely shine in boat, while a Nickalls himself at the oars would proba bly, he a poor substitute in a bush league baseball team. One game well played is worth more to a man than half dozen done in- differently.
