Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. I
1t is concededly too early for the
United States to relinquish it's benefi-
cent control of the Philippine Islands
and to throw upon the F'ilipinos the
responsibility of government; for
the withdrawal of support would be
equivalent to limiting to other powers
that 1t was an opportunity for them
to emulate the long and oppressive
control of the people exercised by the
Spaniards, and there would be q recess
sion to former barbarism. But Il
would be folly to maintain that civili-
zation has not made considerable ad-
vancement in the islands.
1t lis stated, on no less authority
than that of the director of educa-
ton of the Philippines, that an unad-
vertised game of baseball between the
girl teams of two primary schools at

THE NEW POLAND"

MYTH much pOmp and circum-
w stance, Germany yesterday pro-
claimed a new Polish Kingdom
at the close of the war, if Germany
wins. But it is Russian Polish King
dom, not an Austrian or a German
Polish Kingdom, and right there is the
fly in the ointment.
The whole world of liberty-loving
people would have rejoiced had the
promise of Germany contained the
proviso that the imperial government
would restore to Poland the slice of
the ancient Kingdom now held by
Germany and would insist that Austria
do the same. That no such pledge
was offered is pretty good proof that
the Germans are doing in Russian
Poland precisely what the allies did
in Rumania and Italy-bid for the
support of those peoples by holding
out the hope of reward in the read
justment after the war. Germany
needs soldiers and hopes to recruit
Poles against Russia. That appears
to be the answer to the much-her-
aided incident at Warsaw yesterday.
No people have suffered more by
reason of this war than those of Po-
land. First, the Russians ran over
that portion lying within the boun-
daries of Germany, and then the tide
of battle swept back, devastating the
land as far as Warsaw. Thousands of
people are homeless. The crops are
negligible quantity, and neither Ger
many nor the allies have thought
enough of the sufferers to cooperate
for the relief of the population by
America and other charitably disposed
nations. The plight of the people is
pitiable. First. they must consider
how TO keep soul and body together
sbefore the question of government
after the war can be seriously dis
cussed, and even then there can be no
lasting Polish Kingdom that does not
include those sections lying within
Germany and Austria as we'll as that
which fell to the lot of Russia when
the early freebooters of Europe di-
vided up the spoils of their conquest.

For five years Wyoming has been
pioneering in this delicate matter of
military instruction in the schools, and
has now reached the stage where it
places before the nation the results
of the experiment. The Swiss and
Australian models have been followed
In some degree, but the big outstand-
ing features of the plan are entirely
original, having particular regard for
American ideals and prejudices.
Like most big ideas, the Wyoming
experiment just happened" writes
one who has devoted considerable
study to the plan. The labor unions
refused to see anything in it but a
training school for the militia, and
they reaffirmed their unalterable
hostility to the National Guard as be-
ing nothing more than an armed force
for the use of the employing class in
industrial disputes. Parents based
military instruction would exalt mar
tial ideals in the mind of every
youngster. Preachers opposed because
they scented militarism, and educators
were antagonistic out of their fear
that individual initiative would be
destroyed and personal responsibility
undermined"
Lieutenant Steever, of the United
States Army, who fathered the idea,
devised ways and means to meet the
various objections and right here is
where the plan left the beaten paths
and took on originality. He made the
enlistments voluntary and promised
complete separation of the cadet corps
from the militia; he declared that he
would make citizens, not soldiers. and
that the boys would be taught the ad-
vantages of a strong body and a clean
mind, the value of self restraint, civic
duties and responsibilities; to the
clergy and pacifists he announced:

ADAMSON LAW ECHOES
TINE railroads announce that tn

II
contemplate advancing freight
rates on all manner of commo-
dities, the increases to go into force
with the new Adamson so-called eight
hour law.
This is where the public is affected
by President Wilson's surrender with
out parley.
The Adamson law is not nearly so
much an eight-hour law as it is a
salary raising law. To put 1t into force
the railroads must have more money.
They propose to get it from the ship
per and the shipper will make up the
difference by assessing the consumer.
1t, therefore. comes about that the
country at large will be assessed to
make up the difference required by
the railroads as a result of the Adam
son law.
Instead of benefiting labor as a
whole, labor as a whole will pay more
for its clothing, its household neces-
stiles and its dinner because of the
Adamson law.

Voters. lay aside your selfish inter-
ests and vote for the good of your chill

and the school board must provide the

is now plainly to be foreseen =
President Wilson predicts that
those Americans who have invest
ments in Mexico and whom he de-
scribes as spectators" will be able
to have in Mexico the kind of law
and order they want"
Unless these men who have done so
much for the development of Mexico
are far different from the other enter
prising Americans who have carried
the outposts of our trade tc the four
corners of the earth, they want no
kind of law and order in Mexico other
than that which should prevail in any
land where a constitutional govern
ment exists and where treaty and
statutory rights are maintained in be-
half of any who seek to transact
legitimate business.
This kind OF law and order in Mex
leo evidently does not appeal to Mr..
Wilson. The kind of law and order
which he prefers in Mexico has been
described by his Secretary of State.

MILITARY INSTRUCTION GREAT
SUCCESS IN WYOMING SCHOOLS
EXTRACTS from article which appeared ago il
~ EVerYbOdYs Magazine
By BRIGGS

THE essence of militarism is excess
slve ornaments and q huge standing
army, while our purpose is no more
than such training of youth during
the school years as will permit them
to devote their manhood to orderly
civil pursuits. You can't cut militar-
ism out with a moral precept. You've
got to crowd 1t out with something
better and finer.
Hard and fast orders were never
given. From the first Lieutenant
Steever bent every energy to make
the clean cut distinction between
leadership and drivership. In camp
he prefaced all new departures by
conferences with the boys, doping it
out together" because he remembered
his own school days in Washington
and his boyish revolt against the
''rock-crusher' style of drilling.
To cut a long story short, the plan
caught like wildfire and the corps in
the Cheyenne school grew and grew
until it included every member of the
school who was physically fit; and
those who were not were given the
chance to develop themselves for fu-
ture cadetships. Even the girls were
taken in, and each squad had a spon-
sor who became an adept at Red
Cross work The idea spread to other
high schools in the State, and now
after five years of experience, the
Wyoming plan" has attained nation
wide prominence and is looked upon
as settled thing. 1t trains the boys
in the essentials of military experience
while fitting them physically anc
mentally for the battle of life with
out instilling the unpleasant features
of militarism. Who knows but that
the Wyoming plan is the solution of
the. preparedness problem for our
country?

after atrocity, to illustrate the true
nature and extent OF the widespread
conditions of lawlessness and violence
which have prevailed. During the
past nine months in particular, the
frontier of the United States along
the lower Rio Grande has been thrown
into state of constant apprehension
and turmoil because of frequent and
sudden incursions into American
territory, and depredations and muir
ders on American soil by Mexican
bandits who have taken the lives and
destroyed the property of American
citizens across the international
| boundary with the booty seized.
American garrisons have been at
tackled at night, American soldiers
killed and their equipment and horses
stolen; American ranches have been
raided, property destroyed and Amer
lean trains wrecked and plundered.
The attacks on Brownsville. Red
House Ferry, Progreso Post Office
and Las Peladas, all occurring during
September last, are typical. In these
attacks on American territory, Car
ranzista adherents and even Car
rama soldiers took part in the loot
ing, burning and killing"
We say this is evidently the kind of
law and order which Mr.. Wilson
wants" in Mexico, because he made
Carranza the First Chief in Mexico
and because he wants to lend him
millions of dollars with which to
cement his control of the Mexican
presidency in order to continue the
kind of law and order" which Secre-
tary Lansing has depicted.

Dead Yesterday, by Mary Agnes
Hamilton. George H. Doran Co.,
New York. $3.50 metz
While 1t is not particularly thrill
ing book, Dead Yesterday is one OF
unusual perception and understanding
of life. 1t is essentially an elaborate
criticism of the working out of our
inner consciousness and is a book fol
the discriminating mind.
Sustained interest lags in spots and
the author occasionally involves her
self in her own thoughts to the read
er's Generalization. 1t Is a poignant
love story with the scenes laid in q

The Romance of a Christmas Card
by Kate Douglas Virgins. (Hough-
ton, Mifflin Co. $1.00 metz
The nearness of the Christmas sea-
son attracts our interest to books
charged with the holiday atmosphere
in the pleasantly restful style of this
formerly much read author, fairly
radiates Christmas cheer and spirit.
1t is the tale of two wanderers who
are brought back to their childhood
home by the message of a Christmas
card written by the minister's wife.
They arrive in time to assist in the
celebration of an o1d-fashioned Christ
mas and find happiness and peace with
their old friends.

campaigns. However. that was only
one of the reversals of form by the
Democratic bosses and as such things
are regarded as true Democracy any
one who criticises is not loyal, etc.
Another thing about the Demo-
cratic campaign was the manner in
which the State machine got after
postmasters and federal officeholders
when the national machine showed it,
self to be most adept. The methods
adopted were those which Democratic
newspapers, including one noisy one
in Harrisburg, have attributed in hor-
rlned language to Republicans in
years gone by. And still another thing
was the way the State was overrun
with southern congressman and job
holders who yelled about colonization,
gigantic corruption funds and other
things and kept quiet about disfran-
chisement and features of southern
elections.
But even with it all the Demo-
cratic windmill had no claim to put
out on the eve of election as of yore.
