MILITARISM IN SCHOOLS

Four thousand superintendents and educators. present at the annual convention of the department of su- perintendence of the National Educa- tional association in Detroit last Week, voted to ask Congress to ap- point a commission to investigate the advisability of introducing mili- tary training in the public schools.
 Military training would be supple mented by the courses of regular cal isthenics now a feature of every school that pretends to be up-to- date. The result of this regular work, and the learning of discipline, which the home life of many American children do not give them, would remain with the pupil in ..siness life.
 Whatever the regular" soldier in the United States army may lack. he is a fairly graceful man, with pre- sentable carriage. In a short time he is 100 per cent improved over what he was at the time of enlist ment.

ALASKA COAL

The engineering reports to the fed eral government indicate that large area of coal lands in the Matanuska district of Alaska will he open to pri- vate operation for commercial uses after the government railroad shall have been completed, which will be during the coming fall. There are 77,O0O acres in the Matanuska coal area, and of this the government has set aside 7,500 acres for use of the navy. Therefore, there will be ap- proximately 10000 acres open to lease and operation by private in- terests.
 It is entirely probable that Mat anuska coal will ultimately come into competition at Seattle and San Fran cisco, and other coast points, with

A REAL MENACE.

Citizens over the country generally will rejoice that the editors and pub fishers of The Menace, an anti-Catho- lie paper, have been arrested by the postal authorities for sending copies of their scurrilous papers through the mails, in violation of postal laws. For months citizens all over the country have been receiving this organ de voted to abuse of Catholics and the Catholic church, and they were pow erless to avoid the evil influences it exerted in a community it once en- tered.
 Just why a man or a body of men should endeavor to engender bitter ness toward so great an institution for good is hard to understand. We believe there are bad men in every church, and also a great preponder- ance of good men: but when a paper deliberately tries to foster hatred for any institution, religious or secular it is time the authorities stepped in and stopped it.
 Such acts are ,tn-American. un- constitutional and result in great harm to our country.
 Every man in this great country has the undisputed right to worship in any manner he sees fit. unmolest- ed by the acts of another. and when body of men cons spire to interfere with his privileges they are upsettins the foundation of the universe and paving the way for anarchy and revo. lution.

 It is pity that more of the organs devoted to abuse of personal privi- lege cannot become entangled with the law.

Washington coal. The Alaska coal is rated as fine grade of bituminous comparing with the Pocahontas (Va) coal as 96.3 to 100. It is estimated that it can be laid down in Seattle at $5 per ton, though delivery to consul mers would increase this price $1.50 to $2 per ton.
 The navy now uses 450.000 tons of coal annually on the Pacific coast and in Hawaii and Manila, costing $G.6O per ton delivered in San Francisco. The domestic consumption of coal on tho Pacific coast IS 1,500,00o ton. an- nually, and the Alaska markets take about 100000 tons annually. The Matanuska fields will thus come into competition on a market that con- sumes 100000 tons annually.
 Individuals and corporations are limited to leasing of not more than 2,56O acres each for mining purposes, and the awards are likely to he made by competitive bidding.
 The competition of Matanuska coal in the Seattle market is likely to lower the price of the lower grades of Washington coal, though the tet- ter grades should be able to hold their own. In Alaska the Matan- uska supply, and the Nenana supply as well, will greatly stimulate min- ing and the production of gold and copper by making profitable the min ing of low grade ores.

How much better and more busi- nesslike it would have been for the President to have chosen his Secre- tary of War from the ranks of the many efficient military officers. who. by their training could have handled the military affairs of the nation in more economic and more satisfac- tory manner. The army and navy have been hampered by inefficient Cabinet officers since the nation was first made a republic, and will con- tinue to be hampered by civilians as long as these important positions are considered as political plums. and part of the spells of politics. It would be just as practical to hire a blacksmith to do the carpentering on the White House, as it is to hire men who never received military training or do not know the difference be- tween the "glory hole" and the main- truck to look after the affairs of the army and navy.
