ceptive in the extreme.
So long as the constitution of the United

gress can legally give the national gov

train. or control these state troops. EX-
cepting when they are called out for one
of the three specifications in the constitu-
ton. they are no more subject to the aus
thority of the federal government in tho
essential necessities of military manage
ment than if they were troops of an alien
country. This was the very purpose OF
the trainers of the constitution, and Is
plainly and specifically set forth therein.
All proposals to build a military system
for the United States upon the basis of
state troops are proposals to create or
continue a situation that is illusory and
not real. that is a sham and not substan-
tial; that is a mockery and not honest.
That indeed is the Very situation which
the people have demanded shall be rem
edied. That is our present system. or
more properly speaking, lack of system.
Even If 1t We're possible under the consti-
tuition to do what Is suggested, the folly
of 1t. when considered by sensible men
would cause it's immediate rejection. What
is suggested is that the national govern
ment, which has the most ample power to
raise, maintain, and control national
forces for national defense. shall not only
refrain from exercising this power, but
shall parcel it out to the AS states of the
union, and then buy back some measure
of authority and jurisdiction.
What would be thought of the mental
capacity of n business man who would
father any such proposal concerning q
business operation? Just imagine the
owner of a large plant intended to be OPP
Grated as IA department store, planning
not to retain unity of responsibility n
authority and control in his own hands.

prietors of each department., and then by

sessed the power to retain If he had acted

Weakness of National Defense
Based on State Militia
By Secretary Of War Garrison.

Unless it is settled by affirmative legis-
lation that the nation shall raise. organize,
officer, train. and at all times control the
national forces for national defense. all
other things that are done or left undone
are of little or no moment
Upon this basic principle all sincere sup
porters can unite. and upon 1t all such
must unite If anything worth while is to
be obtained.
This was the basic principle bodied forth
in the recommendations of the president
to congress-. This is the basic principle
which is being assailed by all of the oppo-
nents of real national defense. They are
doing it openly and covertly, s~traightfor-
wardly and subtly. They are suggesting
that a complete and satisfactory remedy
will be applied by voting money to state
troops and relying on them for national
defense. They are suggesting that by
providing by act of congress that those
who participate In these federal %appropr1-
ations shall agree to be mustered in ma
tional service in time of war a complete
and satisfactory solution of the military
problem is reached. Such a solution, of
course. appeals to every p%acifico, to every
politico. and to all those who see therein
an opportunity to divert federal funds to
local purposes. Diverse as are the motives
of the pacifist and the others who are
Joined with him in an assault upon a real
national policy, they both eagerly agree in
support of these suggestions. They see
therein the defeat OF any real, substantial.
valuable policy of national defense. They
realize that If they can deceive the people
into believing that these proposals pro-
vide a substantial response to the insist
ent demand for national defense they will
have accomplished what they set out to
do and in addition will have personally
benefited by the result.
You can not possibly have any military
system worthy of the name based upon 4S
separate armies. operating under AS sepa-
rate authorities, raised. of1icered and
trained by 4S separate commanders in
chief, who are by law absolutely in con-
troll of every authority that is necessary
In military affairs. And the suggestion
that this hybrid, incoherent. utterly insult
ficient system is turned into an effective
and trustworthy system by merely provid-
ing that the men who go into the state

Skating as a Fine Art.
From the Outing Magazine.

NIUII n OUt1IIS 4MdSdZEIC.
First of all, straight skating, should
be mastered. This is a sliding on each
foot alternately in q straight line for
ward of about two o. three yards on
the fla of the skate. To master this
the best way is to take a real friend
and take his or her hands as support
to keep you from stumbling forward.
1t is an important thing for the be-
ginner to really understand what is
done when skating straight ahead.
Leaning lightly forward. the novice
tries with one foo to push the body
forward with a certain amount OF
speed.-thereafter sliding two or three
yards according to his strength or abil-
ity; the foot is turned outward In or.
der to AXE a new grip on the ice TO
give the impetus for the next foot. The
steps should be skated evenly.

WHY CEDARS ARE EVERGREEN.

Copyright. 1916. by the McClure News
paper Syndicate.)
Once upon a time there lived far up
in Russia a rich noble in a castle that
stood on the side of a mountain over
looking the sea. When one day he
went off to the war with his soldiers
he called up the old nurse who a
been with him for years and placed the
boy in her care.
This is my son and heir" he said as
he bent to kiss the child's golden curls.
TAX good care Of him till my re-
turn" Then dow the road he and his
men went out of sight till the shining
armor was lost in the green of the ris-
tant forests.
But the noble had not been gone long
when over the seas there came sailing
a fleet of pirate ships. They stormed
the castle, and when the walls began
to tumble, n the servants fled in
fright the good nurse called to the wife
Of the noble to come with her.
Madam" she said, II know a secret
passage through the bottom of the
castle. 1T opens out among the rocks
some way below on the side of the
mountain. Come with me. 1 hear the
pirates now rushing at the gate. l
hear it clang and fall"
With the child in her arms and the
wife following, the nurse sped down in
to the cellar, then out through a long,
dark. winding passage. 1t was wet
ana nun or pats, but she Kept on till
they came out in the sunlight some
way from the castle. They were by a
spring which dubbed up between the
rocks, so they rested and drank the cool
water from their hands.
Over the spring was a tall, thick
cedar tree in it's fresh green dress. Its
branches Were so close together that no
n could see the trunk. and the lowest
limbs swept the ground, which was
carpeted with it's brown needles.
do not fear, madam" said the nurse.
Climb up this tree. Go as far as YOU
can and l will hand the child up to you
then | will follow"
Up the tree the mother climbed til,
she was seated far up in the very top
branches close to the trunk and com
pletely hidden by the limbs. The nurse
placed the boy in her arms, then fol-
lowed till she, too, was hidden from
sight.
Just then the soldiers burst out OF
the woods. They looked all over the
place. behind every rock. but could sec
nothing of the fugitives, so they kept
on down to the seashore, where they
entered their ship and sailed away

From their place in the tree the nurse
and wife watched the ship till it sank
below the skyline into the glow of the
sunset in the west. Then they came
down n wept for joy over their es-
ape How grateful we will ever. be
to this dear tree" exclaimed the wife
as they rose to go, "and how 1 wish
it were in my power to do something
to reward it for it's help!"
What was her surprise to see a tiny
elf pop up from behind the cedar.
II read your Words" exclaimed he
with a smile. "and l saw your escape.
l know just what the tree would like.

Who can find it in his heart to censure
restful nap on the one morning of all 9TH
crs-the Sabbath?
Tempted by rosy dreams, she let's time
slip away with her. She may be over
tired. That is granted: yet there is only
one place on earth where she can go and
be sure that all her worries and tribula-
tons will be forgiven by her for an hour.
That one place is church. A girl can
easily form the habit of going and quite
as easily contract the habit Of not going.
There is always a golden tie among those
who are gathered there. They have their
enjoyments and pleasures to look forward
to. Elders always look to see that there's
plenty going on to attract the young folks.
They arrange for sociables. oyster sup
pers. cake and ice cream festivals. fairs.
and no end of delightful occasions, includ-
ing sleigh ride parties, husking bee frolics
and barn dances.
