Business Women for Preparedness

That the genuine patriotism of the women Of
the country goes far toward counteracting the
unwholesomc influence of the pachsts will be
proved to the satisfaction Of Washington by the
great preparedness parade on Flag Day, next We'd
nesday. The announcement that hundreds Of the
women of the business world, the employees of
Washngtons big mercantile establishments, will
take part in the demonstration is gratifying Not
only will the appearance of these alert, self
reliant young American women, keeping step with
their fathers and brothers. from every sphere of
the Capitals activities add to the attractiveness
OF the spectacle, but it will furnish convincing
evidence that in the representative homes OF
Washington sentiment is unanimous in favor of
national preparedness. The pubc-spirited men
who are giving their thought and energy to the
arrangement of the details of next Wednesday,
demonstration are to be congratulated upon en-
listing the cooperation of the young women
who are an important factor in the citys business
life and of whom Washington is justly proud.

The Peoples party, which the news
papers of the country promptly dubbed
"Populist." had put forth a plat
form which demanded that the federal
government should itself acquire the
ownership of all railways. telegraphs,
and telephones. that the free coin
age of gold and silver at the ratio of
sixteen to one should be accorded by
law, that a graduated income tax
should be established, postal savings
banks created, and all lands held by
aliens, or by corporations in excess
Of their needs, reclaimed-a radical
programme which jumped with the
humor of hundreds OF thousands of
wOrkingmen and farmers the country
over
1t was noted how universal a de-
feCtion there was from the Republic
an ranks in the West Those who
knew how opinion moved there said
that even those who had voted for
the Republican electors and the Re
publican nominees for Congress had
done so rather out of habit or con-
Servative temper or the hope that time
and the influences OF opinion would
bring their leaders TO a creed and
policy like that of the advocates of
free coinage and OF governmental re-
strictions upon the railways and upon
organized capital than because they
still believed in the doctrines professed
from OF old by their party.
There was apparently no reason why
they should not entertain the hope.
at least with regard to the coinage.
The platforms of both the Republican
and the Democratic nominating con-
ventions spoke very strongly for the
continued use of both gold and sill
yer as money and for some arrange
ment which should maintain them at
an equality in value. and the language
which they held in the matter might
without too much ingenuity be made
to square with almost any policy.
The Republican platform spoke OF
the use of both the metals with such
restrictions and under such provisions,
to be determined by legislation. as
will secure the maintenance of the
parity of values of the two metals
so that the purchasing and debt-pay-
ing power of the dollar. whether OF
silver, gold. or paper. shall be at all
times equal"
The Democratic platform spoke OF
making the units OF the coinage OF
the two metals of equal intrinsic and
exchangeable value. adjusted through
international agreement or by such
sure the maintenance of the parity OF
the two metals and the equal power OF
every dollar at all times in the mar
kets and in the payment of debts.

The ordering Of American forces into
Mexico TO capture Villa made necessary
the Durrhase Of nearly 10000 worth OF
horses and mules. according TO ofhclals
Of the Quartermaster's Department OF
the army.
In order 10 raise the armed forces TO
fuU war strength and to replace unserN-
iceqhle animals held at that time, the
ouartprnaster's assistants picked up no
less than Go horses for both cavalry
and artillery. at a total cost OF $l.36S 900
Additionally. the difficulties of transpor-
ta-ion in Mexico made necessary the pur-
chase Of 2COn rack and draft mules, at a
total cost of S365,cHo.
The cavalry horses were bought at fig
ures rancing from Sl35 to Sl65 each. while
the artillery animals brought prices
ranging from $l35 to SlI5 each. The dra1'
mules were the most expensive Of the
entire lot, bringing prices ranging from
$50 to $500 apiece The pack mules were
not so high. being purchased at prices
ranging from S135 to $50 each.
The Ouartermaster's Department re-
cards the prices paid for this big con-
signment OF animals as extremely rea'
sonable They were much lower than
the officers believed possible. in view oi
the demand for horses and mules by
European armies abroad. At the time the
horses were bought, the army also pur'
chased twenty tank trucks for hauling
either water or gasoline, at total cost
Of $500. They are of the motor type
The entire commissioned personnel OF
the army is interested in learning the
mysterious source of a clause in the re-
cent amy reorganization act which
seems to cffeCtuany block the efforts OF
the Engineer Corps to obtain control OF
the army's construction and repair work
officers claim to see the hand Of the
cuartermaster's department in the clause
mentioned.
The item in the reorganization bill un'
der discussion states that all work per
taining to construction and repair that
has heretofore been done by or unde!
the direction of officers of the quarter
masters corps shall. except as otherwise
now provided by laws or regulations
hereafter be done by or under the direc'
tion OF officers of said corps"
The whole army knows, of course, OF
the constant effort to take out Of the
province of the quartermaster's depart
ment all army work which would fall
under the head of construction and re-
pair" and it is likewise no secret that
the recently-enacted legislation safe
guards the province OF the Quarrtermas
ter corps for years to come.
All efforts to take this work away
from the quartermaster corps have fail
ed, so far, and while there was talk oi
obtaining legislation making such
change possible, the quartermaster corp!
apparently has spiked the plan by OBJ
tanning the passage of the clause in tht
bill

paredness training camp similar to the

After the party conventions had met
and spoken (July ]. 1892 the Republican
Senate passed a bill which provided for
the free coinage of all silver brought
