The State Militia and the Nation.

| The report of the state special com
mission on military education and re
serve, ordered by a resolve of the gen
eral court and appointed by Governor
| Walsh transeends the limits of its officia
title in this particular, that it treats Of
the whole question of the common
wealth's relation to the defense Of the
union. 1t was proper that it should dc
so, for a partial examination of the sub
ject, or a recommendation concerning
military education or militia reserve
alone, would have been useless.
The report is particularly to be COM
mended for two things. 1t insists upon
thorough physical education in the
schools, with particular reference to the
fitting of boys for subsequent military
training, and it recommends process
which is practically a liberalization of
the state militia. With due allowance
for existing forms and constitutional re-
quirements, the report in effect proposes
the Incorporation of the state militia in
national body. 1t calls attention to
the absurdity of the states of the Amer
lean union maintaining As different arm
les. There is certainly nothing more alb
surd than this fact in our military his
tory, unless it is the Chinese system Of
provincial armies, which has resulted in
the downfall of that country. To take
the place of the existing militia, as
means OF maintaining law and order at
home, the commission proposes a state
police, on the Pennsylvania
plan. And it is worth noting that, al
though labor sentiment in most of the
states is supposed to be hostile to the
idea of state police forces to be employed
in dealing with disorder accompanying
strikes, this recommendation is signed by
Mr.. O'Hare, secretary OF the Boston
Printing Pressmen's union, the represen-
tative of organized labor ON the commits
sion.
The commission does not recommend
military training, taking the
ground that for years to come there can
rot be officers enough to make any such |
'ystem possible, and because so radical"
/ proposition requires much time to ma
,ure. But it viii be observed that it I
loes not oppose compulsory service on
principle. The whole broad question of |
rational defense is considered by the
commission, and the report will take a

Bradstreet's Burlington office report;
the total number OF failures in the state
during 1915 were greater In number thar
in 1914; yet the amount of money in
volyed was nearly 2s per cent less thar
for that year. The failures during the
year just closed were confined to mei
chants with small capital. As is to be
expected, the greater number, So per cent
of the failures were attributed TO lack
of capital, while rs per cent failed be-
cause of incompeteney, One failure was
elassed as fraudulent.
In comparing the two years in ques-
ton, it is noted that the year just closed
included four mercantile companies hav-
ing liabilities of $4,000 or over, while
the year previous had seven. The first
quarter of the year showed a larger
amount of money involved than the last
quarter. The fourth quarter of the year
gave less amount of money involved
than was shown for the same quarter in
1914. June of 1914 was free from mer-
camille failures, while April of the year
just closed showed no failures.
