PuBLlCLY-OWNED
MAYORS.

Last fall there we're surprising
number of Socialist mayors elected in
American cities. If there are not so
many next fall, It may be the fault Of
the Socialists themselves, for failing to
support their own representatives in
Mayor Lunn of Schenectady, n. y,
plainly tends to prejudice the public
against the Socialist party.
Mayor Lunn is in the peculiar posi-
lie. and at the sac time displeased his
own party TO such a degree that 1t has
repudiated him. The mayor maintains
that he is as good a Socialist as he
that he has filled city offices with
competent men regardless of politics.
instead of appointing orthodox social
lists at the dictation of the party Or
ganiLatIon.
The question at issue, he says, is
whether elected Socialist officials
should be publicly or privately owned.
1 stand for public ownership"
Public ownership of mayors is a
platform easily accepted by citizens
of any faith. Socialists Intensely $
should be the last to antagonize it.
And after all their lofty professions of
disinterested public service. II seems
odd to see them splitting on the same
rock of party regularity and succumb-
ing 20 the same lust for office that
have often discredited the older
parties.

A RATIONAL.
DEFENSE MEASURE.

There can be no difference of
opinion regarding the senate bill

Point This is in line with genuine
military efficiency, and without a sug.
gestion Of militarism.
1t is recognized by all who have
studied our army situation that our
chief need Is officers. AS long as we
hold to our traditional policy of a
small standing army, il is imperative
that the organization should contain
as high a percentage of trained Off
GERS as possible. In on other way can
the reserve forces be promptly and
effectively utilized In emergency, and
in no other way can volunteer recruits
be quickly trained and made avail
able.
II Is held by many experts that the
ideal standing army for this country
would be skeleton organization, en-.

There rs obvious economy in the
present plan. West Point. like An.
napolis, has never been used to It's
capacity. II its output can be doubled
with slight increase of expense, the
cost of producing an officer, now said
to be about $4,000, will be nearly cut
in two. The prospect of more efficient
business management Is an agreeable
one. Our army has been costing far
too much Tor the results shown.

FORTS
ARE o. X.

In the fierce light of criticism that
with our national defense, our coast
defenses have Jared bettsT than any
other department. Army experts have
pronounced them as good as any in
the world. and recent tests seem to
support their Judgment.
The most convincing test was that
made at Fort Morgan, near Mobile,
Ala, to determine what show such a
fertilization would stand against mod.
ern dreadnaughts. A typical section
of the fort was bombarded for two
days by the 14-inch guns of the New
York and Arkansas. The fort made
no attempt to reply. The battles hips
hurled $50 huge shells. The guns "ere
aimed by some of the best gunners in
the navy. with fleet of hydroplanes
helping to direct that fire. II was a
scientific attack. After every shot OBJ
servers on land took photograph
showing the effect. That was TO pro.
vide data for future study.
At the end of the bombardment II
was found that there was no serious
damage done to the masonry and
earth embellishments, and the guns had
entirely failed in their attempt to
cripple the batteries and operating ma
chinery of the fort.
Some such result might have been
anticipated after the failure of the
powerful British fleet to smash the
Dardanelles forts. The experts say
our own coast defense units are better
than those at the Dardanelles, al
though they are not fully manned and
some of them ought to have guns OF
longer range.

REAL
PREPARE DNESS.

Much is being said in our country
nowadays about preparedness, and the
average person naturally construes
that to mean to so fix things as to be
able to meet an attack, come ii in
what form 1t may, from the outside.
1t is not much of a feat for a great
people to learn the manuel of arms
and TO prepare a great store of war
munitions. But that is but a branch
of that thing which is called prepared
ness.
There is as much need of prepared
ness for peace as for war. for the for
mer involves so much that when
achieved, it is but single step to the
accomplishment of the latter.
In aristocratic England great stress
is laid upon the sacredness of British
citizenship. A few years ago the Brit.
ish government sent an army under
one of It's foremost generals into the
heart Of a barbarous empire, to res
cue an imprisoned British citizen to
to punish the dusky savage who had
insulted and maltreated him. 1t was
a splendid deed; but the chances are
ten to one that the citizen, after hav-
ing been rescued and brought home,
might have starved to death for want
of a place to work.
In Democratic America the citizen
has perfect right to do any legiti
mate thing, to aspire to any honor, but
the state, having extended these privi-
leges to the citizen, in effect says to
him: Now go out and rustic for
yourself" and IL the news comes that
citizen Is, or body Of citizens are
in jeopardy in a foreign country, the
rule of late has been to send him or
them word that he or they had better
come home. Then on arriving the for
mer message is repeated to Ego out
and rustic"
But in inspired Germany affairs are
managed differently.
The thought that governs there is
that preparedness must begin In the
cradle. that there must be sanitary
surroundings for the child and suffi.
cient food, that It may be physically
perfect.
When school age begins all children
must be sent to school and by string.
ent laws employees are compelled to
grant all lads and lasses between the
ages of fourteen and eighteen years
attendance In continuation schools. BY
this method the German child gets far
more schooling than the American
child.
The children OF the very poor are
fed. An essential thing is to see that
work is provided for all the people
The Bismarck idea Is followed. Said
he: "A man is entitled to say: Give
me work. and the state is bound To
give him work"
This is secured largely through CO
operative labor exchanges throughout
the empire. The result of this for the
eight years ending in 1911 was that
the unemployed in Germany ranged
from IL percent to 30 percent OF the
total wage-earning population, while In
New York and Massachusetts for Q
like period, 1t ranged from 6.8 percent
to ISL percent.
OF course in citing the above one
