We may take such an attitude as will

folly and want of exertion? Shall we
not be justly chargeable for all the
blood and treasure, which shall be
wasted in a lingering war, procrasti-
mated by false expectations OF peace
or timid measures for prosecuting the
war;"
Regular troops alone are equal Ia
the eXigencies of modern war as well
for defense as offense and when a
substitute is attempted it must prove
lillusory and ruinous. The firmness
requisite for the real business oi

constant course of discipline and ser

In these words the spirit of Wash

pert military knowledge, and the in
fuence of men in whom there is no
trace OF the spirit OF Washington,
Congress is undecided and divided.
though we have known our dangers
for 10 months.
In the days OF the Revolution Con-
gress thought that raw troops met all
requirements, and in consequence. our
unframed men died needlessly. Today
there are eminent men hard at work
upon measures that will repeat the
same crime against their fellow men.
Convinced as / am" said Gen. Har-
ry Lee, that a government is a MUIR
derer of its citizens which sends them
to the field uniformed and untaught,
where they are to meet men of the
same age and strength mechanical by
education and discipline for battle, I
cannot withhold my denunciation OF

In the days OF the Revolution de-
pcndence on militia and soldiers en-
listed for short terms was thought to
be expedlent and. economical. but that
mistaken belief was the direct cause
of giving us seven years Of war when
/ the enemy under better system OF
ours, could have been expelled in two
years. Today the delusion Of the eff
cacy of irregular troops is still prev
( alent and the old folly is manifest in
the search for scheme by which we
can have an army and still not have
one.
What Washington counseled on
national defence applies with greater
force to the crisis today than it did in
the years OF the Revolution for time
and oft-repeated events have estab-
ished the accuracy of his judgment.
! Washington advised:
THAT we may be always prepared
for war; but never unsheath the
sword except in self-defense, so Ions
as Justice, and our essential rights
and national respectability, can b'
preserved without it,"

efficient government. the period is no
far off when we may defy material in

TIME riotous scene enacted in the Oklahoma House
of Representatives yesterday a disgrace to
those members Of the Legislature who produced it and
a reproach to the State
That it had its origin in partisan feeling made 1t
none the less inexcusabe. Teegraphic advices from
Oklahoma City show that while at the outset there
was ntemperance OF language both sides the phys
ical violence resulted from the Democratic members
OF the House massing and attacking the Republican
members The latter quite naturally, defended them
selves.
II is a matter of regret that the members Of the
Legislature Of that erratic state cannot conduct the
peope's business IN an orderly and dignihed manner
and that the Democratic members have seen fit to
bring disgrace upon themselves and their state by re-
sorting to violence when putting through piece OF
pernicious political legislation.

His recent change of attitude shows
that he has been a college professor
long enough to realize that there Is
nothing in either the theory Of peace

He has been a college professor
long enough to realize that there is
nothing in the theory of non-political

realized there was nothing in the
theory Of watchful waiting, for he in

Americans were foully murdered he
had already come to realize that there

long enough to realize that there is
nothing in the Democratic platform

Sir:-There is startling similar
ity between conditions that prevail

the birth of Washington
In the days of the Revolution moth
ing menaced the cause of liberty
more than the well-meant but foolish
counsels OF men who knew so little
about military matters that they were
suspicious of advice, and even looked
askance at the poor armies that stood
between them and the invaders. These
men. especially in the legislative body
gave unwilling attention to Washing
toms counsel. and by pursuing a pol
icy OF wilfulness actually so played
into the hands of the enemy that had
the British been strong in initiative
the cause Of liberty would have been
lost
In those days they thought a

listed for the period OF the war was

Sing when the days are lonely,
And the night is dark and long,
There is inspiration and power
In some grand old gospel song.
Sing when the skies are darkest
And clouds above you roll,
And persecution and trial
Sweep down upon your soul.
Sing and the skies will tighten,
The clouds will roll away,
And into your life come the dawning
OF a bright and better day.
