preparing for Preparedness.

The earnest opponents OF a general program
for national defense have almost reached their
last ditch in their retrest before the facts that
confront the country. They now admit the pos
sibilty OF the United States being called upon to
defend its people, or maybe it's territory against
aggression from some foreign power. This need
they hold, readily can be met through means
now at hand Herein lies the ultimate weak
ness of their proposition. II is no longer
question OF willingness, but OF ability to fight.
The call for volunteers undoubtedly would real
ise MIR. Bryan's prophecy OF "a million men leap
ing to arms between sunrise and sunset" and
these million men and the other millions who
would follow them would be comparatively help
less, even with guns In their hands. because OF
the lack Of that training which distinguishes
soldier from citizen.
In every war the United States has engaged
in thousands OF lives have been neediessly sac
rifced because Of the ignorance of men and Off
GERS alike OF military practice. 1t is not alone
the discipline and training that mouids the mob
into the efficient machine. and unfies its action
so that its strength is multiplied many times be-
cause OF the coordination OF individual men,
bers. but It Is the subordinate. though tremend-
ously Important knowledge OF camp life requi-
site to health and the preservation of proper con-
ditions that must be instilled before the volun-
teers are fit for the service as soldiers.
These elemental facts have been stated and
restated yet for some reason the pacifists refuse
10 recognize them. II we are going to have an
army for defense, no matter how Il is TO be made
up, we must not neglect the lessons OF expert
ence. The United States cannot afford to again
face the disgrace that overlook It's army in 1898.

Dealing with Unemplorment.

The Welfare board and the city council have
Jointly tackled the unemployment question, at
least TO the extent OF elsboratey discussing con-
ditions and suggesting local pslliatives Plans
for providing employment during the winter to
those who would otherwise be out Of work, and,
therefore, dependent public charity may be
put into force. It is quite possible 10 do great
deal of work in the winter that is ordinarily left
over for summer. Some OF this work can easily
be undertaken at this time and great deal Of
good be accomplished in the way OF removing
the condition of unemployment. Popular belief
to the contrary, not a great many men prefer to
be supported In idleness. The great majority
OF them are not only willing. but eager to work
at anything that will give them living wages
The fact that work Is to precede charity will
inevitably operate to drive away the professional
beggar.
Tho plan Is not new and has been success
fully tried by other communities. II the city
commissioners or the county commissioners
have ready any program that will provide en-
ployment for any number Of men. they should
not hesitate to set the work going. This applies
equally to private enterprises. Well remuner-
ated work Is far more desirable than the most
generous OF giving.
