Every dollar spent on the develop

militia type.
The administration reorganization
plan begins at the wrong end. Instead
of building up the regular army II
merely aims at tripling or quad
rupling our supply of undertrained
troops. II creates a great bcdy Of
militia officers and thus dilutes the
efficiency of the officers corps as a
whole. IL sets up a demorallzing
distinction between regulars and
Continentals If the Continentals are
called into being we shall have two
national armies, unlike in quality
training and spirit, and therefore ex-
ceedingly difficult TO amalgamate in
case of need We shall simply follow
out to another failure the disastrous
American tradition Of reliance on sec
ond and third class troops which has
caused such a waste of blood and
treasure in all our wars.

New News Of Yesterday
A Millionaire Miner in
the Role Of Guide
By Holland

Judge c. c. Goodwin, Of Salt Lake
CITY whose good fortune it has been
TO have associated with almost all OF
the men who accomplished great
things in California and Nevada, was
familiar with those greater achieve
ments which are identified with the
Comstock mines and which James Z,
Fair. together with Mackay, Flood
and OBrien. so developed 1t that II
nassed into tradition as the Big Bo-
nanza. Judge Goodwin has often en-
tertained his friends with anecdotes
which throw side lights on the char-
acter and achievements o. Far ana
his associates.
Those who saw Mr. Fair when he
was United States Senator from Ne
vada we're probably persuaded that ne
was without any sense of humor. In
fhat opinion Judge Goodwin does not
agree. believing that Mr.. Fair had an
abundant sense of humor, although 1t
was of a quiet kind.
One of the anecdotes which Judge
Goodwin narrated to his friends feW
wears ago illustrates Senator Fair s
sense Of humor There appeared at
Tho mines a man of capital whose
home was i'm Boston, and with him
were his wife and daughter He was
anxious to descend TO lower levels OF
the mines. and after some formality
was told that his request would be
granted. The Boston gentleman ana
his party were furnished with suit
able clothes and then we're escorted
TO the cage. The engine stopped at
level No. 16. and a miner received
them with courtesy and made it clear
10 them that he had perfect under
standing of the workings of the mine
and also of the geological formation.
This miner. in fact, as he showed
them around. delivered what was
really sort OF lecture, explaining the
various engineering processes by
which the ore was taken from the
rock aud how the mines were tim
bered for safety and how they were
ventilated and drained.
The Boston gentleman was visibly
impressed. and apparently found him-
Self wondering how simple miner,
as this man appeared to be, possessed
such an abundant and thorough infor-
nation respecting all the features Of
mining. AT last the inspection of the
deep mine was ended and the sight
seers were led 10 the cage, so that
they could be lifted from the depths
to the surface. Before the cage start
ed upward the Boston man took from
his pocket a silver dollar and offered
il to the miner. saying that he wanted
thus to express his appreciation Of
the courtesy shown to him.
The miner. however, would not re-
ceive the proffered gift, saying that he
was abundantly repaid by the compli-
ment for his time. and that il was
much easier to take visitors around
the mine than il was TO use the pickax.
The Boston man was not to be de-
MED, however, urging the miner TO
take the silver dollar. When again
the gift was refused, the Boston man

Editorial Opinion
TARIFF EDUCATION.
From the Washington Post.

fiOm lle washington fOht.
In letter to Chairman William II
McCombs of the Democratic national
committee. the American Tariff Re-
form League announced that from now
until the next elections it will conduct
an educational campaign on behalf OF
the existing tariff law. While as a
matter of courtesy the assistance OF
this tariff reform league cannot be re-
jected, probably the Democratic Lead
ers would much prefer to handle the
delicate tariff subject in their own
way. Leaders Of the Democratic party
| apparently know more about the exist
ing tariff law and the opinion that is
held with regard to it by the Ameri-
can people than does the American
Tariff Reform League.
In view of the fact that the party
that framed the present law is now
going to change it in several particu-
lars, notably with regard to the free
sugar clause and the insertion of an
antidumping plank, there is appar-
emily no intention on the part of the
party managers to defend the tariff OF
make any of its supposed virtues an
issue in the next campaign.
Neither the tariff reform league
nor any one else will be able to edu-
cate the public into believing that the
present tariff. law has aided industry

The cost of living has not been re-
duced. Nor has the present tariff law

Imitation Preparedness
CFrom the New York Tribune.)

Criticism of the administrators
amateurish plan of army reorganiza-
tion is producing results. Washing
ton dispatches say that Secretary
Garrison is going TO urge President
Wilson to make public the report Of
the General staff Of the Army on the
country's military needs. Congress
certainly ought to know what the
army experts think. as well as what
the Presient and Mr.. Garrison think,
before it takes up the task Of making
over the army.
Mr.. Garrison has sought to excuse
the administration plan of surface
reorganization on the ground that it
represents all that can be gotten
under existing conditions Gotten
from whom? IL may be true that
this patchwork imitation Of real re-
organization is all that can be gotten
Just now from the President But is

so little because he didn't want to
bother Congress with larger demands.

To this question the miner replied
that there was one reason that was
sufficient If there was no other. and
that was that he had 100000 on

wondering all the morning how best
he could invest 1t.

nEFENsE PLANS STILL INDEFINITE.

WY ASHINGTON is hearing every day OF some
w calctrant Democratic Congressman who has
"given his adherence the Presidents programme for
the national defense" And yet in spite of this and in
spite the Presidents speech New York the sub
iect the Presidents programme remains very nebul
ous and whoever gives adherence" to il must neces-
sarily issue banket-promise which covers whatever
the Presidential mind may develop.
So far the plans for the army concerned there
is much mystery regarding both their origin and the
in which they to be applied. Few officials
in the War Department profess have any knowledge
to the originator Of the Administrations program.
Many of them believe that the President himself die
tated the terms and then induced Secretary Garrison
TO advocate them his own The army college
completed report outlining definite military policy
for the United States. This report supposedly to
have been submitted TO both the secretary and the
era staff The general staff, far is known how
ever, has commented upon the colleges re-
port in any way.
Some weeks ago Secretary Of War Garrison sub
mitied report army reorganization to President
Wilson This report sent back from the White
House with orders revise it materially. II is the
opinion Of many officers that II ordered revised
not in the interest Of the country but in the interest
Of the Democratic party.
The head Of one of the most important departments
in the army is said to have been asked his opinion Of
the continental army scheme and the possibility Of OBJ
tanning voluntary eniisments in that army His reply

consideration"
"Ohcers of the general staff, well as the chief
officers in the various divisions" said expert on
military affairs, just much in the dark the
people concerning the plans Of the administration TO
build up It's great continental army How the men
to be recruited? BY counties. by States by Congress
siona districts? Who TO pay for their equipment?
Are they. or is the national government? Who will
pay them for the two months time they put in in
camp each year? II is seriously doubted around the
War Department that 1000 men in this country can
afford TO give up eight weeks each year for military
training without pay unless the government compos
them TO do by law.
1T strikes ne and it strikes many Of my friends,
that this continental army may turn out to be one Of
the greatest political machines in the world. If it
proves failure without pay, the alternative is
with pay Can't you imagine Congressman out getting
recruits in their districts? Why each Congressman
could guarantee each voter many weeks Of camp
life each year at so much pay! fine idea isn't f.?
81 shall be extremely interested in what the admins
tration has to say to methods for raising this con-
tinental army. But at the time, unless the
plans are most carefully worked out ! afraid it
will prove continental failure. II any plans be-
ing made for It's success ! confess haven't been
