MR.. PARKER'S BOSS.

! After you have heard Mr..
Parker solemnly dedicate him
self TO the cause of boss deStruc
tlon in Lou siana, We advise You
to take up two planks of the
Republican candidates original
platform and figure ont for Your
self what would happen if a
miracle came to pass and Mr..
| Parker was elected
One Of these planks concerns
the short ballot The other re
fers to constitutional conyen
ton.
Mr. Parker is for The short
ballot. He wants the primary
abolished and the Governor
authorized to appoint the Lieu.
tenant Governor. Attorney Gen
eral, Secretary of State. Auditor,
Treas surer. Commissioner of
Agriculture. Superintendent of
Ed ucation and Register of the
Land Office. ~
Also he is for a constitutional
convention. But he wants
hand picked convention com
posed of two from each con
gressional district and nine at
large and ali appointed by the
govern himself. ~
Would the p aople Of Louisiana,
after having precipitated revo-
luton to obtain a voice in the
selection of their public officials
and after having in unmistak
able terms declared against any
convention which did not give
each parish it's proportioneth
share of representation consent
to vest the tremendous power
Of choosing all the officers of the
state and the farmers of a new
organic law in the hands of one
man.
Are they ready to create such
a Boss as Mr.. Parker proposes?
Is it conceivable that they would
make Mr.. Parker such a Boss
when in the case of Judge Coco
he showed that he is so petty
and so narrow and withal SC
|ordIy that he would not hes
tate to crush any man with the
nerve to criticize him..
If Mr.. Parker could carry his
policy to a final analysis he
would make himself so powerful
hat it would be difficult to
carry on an election against his
will.
Would the people of Louisiana
'e willing, through the instru-
mentally of convention of
twenty-five automata to make a |
lew constitution for the State,
italy affecting their property,
heir liberties and their lives, is
nd jam it down their throats
With which he seeks to brush 9
udge Coco aside? y
The question answers itself.

Any Number of Rockies
for Var, but Practically
None for Training, Is
the Experience of the Re-
cruiting officer
KzxEEsyvyE2ssSA
By W. O. M'GEEHAN

THE mobilization Of the National Guard
is spectacular revelation OF the ma
terial and moral unpreparedness OF the
United States for defence against any first
class power. 1t was intended, Of course, to
have exactly the opposite effect.
The cry of preparedness" had become very
annoying to certain gentlemen in politics.
They had hoped at first that the cry would
die down as did certain other slogans which
annoyed gentlemen in Office But even the
song writers could not make it appear ridicu-
lous. Consequently some concession had to be
made to popular clamor and chance, in the
person of Sehor Venustiano Carranza of Mex
leo, came to the aid of the powers.
The National Guard was called to the colors
suddenly and theatrically. Some Of it re-
sponded briskly and enthusiastically and was
shunted of TO the border, one quarter drilled
half equipped and wholly unfit for any sort of
rough service The gentlemen in politics
sent various commissions TO report that the
men were entirely fit and altogether in that
happy state which will permit the newspapers
70 use that alliterative and cheerful line, "Fit

York "Imbressively Went

Preparedness"

be equally distributed The privilege should be
open to all, the willing and the unwilling. The
burden should be placed upon those who can
carry it in the order Of their ability, physical
and financial.
l should advise the gentlemen in politics
who concocted the scheme-with tho aid Of
Fate and Carranza-to hide the national un-
preparedness and not to be too optimistic. The
complaints from the half-mutinous militia regi-
ment are ominous. Tho unequal burdens are
commencing to gall the backs Of young men
who were not morally prepared to realize the
responsibilities of service.
By all means, the gentlemen In politics
must keep those young men at the border,
where they cannot vote or influence votes. To
achieve the ends Of the plotters against pre-
paredness there must be found a military ne
cessity for retaining the modified National
Guard until after November. For the men will
return fully enlightened and determined ad-
vocates for preparedness, moral and physical.
In this regard the gentlemen in politics
will unconsciously and unintentionally do .
great deal of good, but they will have secured
themselves for another four years frst
New-York tribune., 1916-07-30

troops like these on three-day call was un-
prepared"
Having shouldered my antiquated musket in
1898 and served through two wars, near-wars,
picnics, skirmishes or whatever you care to
call them feel privileged to answer, Grub
bish." Those men are relatively as unprepared
as were the volunteers of 1898. The truth OF
this will come out, but not until after Novem-
Der, if the gentlemen in politics can prevent it.
Whether or not this mobilization actually was
intended to block all efforts for real prepared
ness, it will have that effect for the time. The
gentlemen in politics, with ears acutely
attuned, are beginning to smile hopefully. They
think they detect decided diminution of the
cry for preparedness"
Go to one Of the National Guard armores
where the recruiting officer in charge Of
the base battalion is waiting for young men
willing to be put through the school Of the
soldier. Ask him how many recruits have ap-
piled since it became evident that the National
Guard mobilization probably would not mean
war but merely preparation. He will be glad
to talk to you, for he is lonesome. Able-bodied
men walk blocks to avoid even glancing at the
sign. Recruits wanted" And the great New
York preparedness parade was only few
months ago.
With pathetic pride some newspapers point
to the fact that whenever war with Mexico
seemed certain recruits for the regular army
and the militia were plentiful. Some news
papers were foolish enough to exult in the
revelation that while the young men Of the
United States were willing to fight for their
country they were obstinately unwilling to
learn how to fight. That is part of the dan
gerous national self-suficiency.
Already the wall comes from the militia
camps on the border, "You have tricked u.s.
New-York tribune., 1916-07-30

for anything from fight TO frolic." These
commissions are turning in their reports now.
The gentlemen in politics are very hap
py. AS November draws near their orators
will call upon Heaven to witness how wonder
fully well we are prepared. Why should any
one in this gull-lorious land of the free advo-
cate preparedness when on any call we can
gather together such a splendid body OF hgnt-
ing men? They will invoke the old militarlsm
bugaboo. They will point TO the moollizatlon
of the National Guard to vindicate the VICIOUS
Hay bill which Pounds the reserve OF the
United States army upon the eternally made
auate and inefficient militia.
The truth, the gentlemen in politics
fondly hope, will not come out until later. The
commissions will not report that there is not
one of these National Guard regiments equip
ned according to the standards required by
the regulations. Neither will they report on
how long it would take to equip them properly.
They will not mention the subject Of machine
guns. for that is an awkward one. In fact,
there are many little details which the gen.
tlenen in politics feel had better be left un-
mentioned, especially with the month Of No
vember so near.
The orators for the gentlemen IN politics
will have the floor and all of the advantage.
The American people love to feel that they
are eternally ready to click all creation" and
now that the bands have blared their boys
away to the sage brush and their minds are
wholly intoxicated by this entirely amateurish
dress rehearsal it is hard work to talk reason.
"No one could see those splendid young fel-
lows march away and not be thrilled by 1t"
declared one writer tanning the popular hys-
terra. "No one could look upon the business
like khaki-clad ranks and assert with any sin
cerity that a country which could turn out
New-York tribune., 1916-07-30

We were given to understand that we wers
brought here to fight Now we see clearly that
we are merely to do the work of the regular
army"
Now that is the vocing of the worst phase
of our unpreparedness our moral unprepared-
ness. Certainly the militia reserve is expected
to do the same work as the regular army, and
it should be mentally as we'll as physically pre-
pared TO undertake that work uncomplainingly
But it is not their fault. 1t is the fault of a
criminal system, system which has been per-
petuated by the present Administration through
the Hay army bill. The situation has been ag-
gravated by the Administrations timidity
about impressing upon the men who might be
called to the colors the meaning of the word
service This is the time when an Administra-
ton that can be frank and courageous in
preaching this gospel is sorely needed
Most of the men who were mustered in for
this border service are "men who should not
have gone" | am quoting from hundreds Of
regular army officers with whom have talked.
There were too many partings from wives and
children when the National Guardsmen
marched away to the border. No nation with
population over lOO,oOo,OoO strong should have
to tear or entice fathers of families and the
providers for dependents into the olive drab
and khaki to raise 100000 reservists. In
country really prepared abe-bodied men would
be graded, so that a reserve army twice as
large could be called out with no hystera and
no heartaches. And that will come when the
magnitude of our unpreparedness is realized.
There is great deal of bitterness now tow
ard the employer who promised TO pay his en-
ployes who went into the service. Personally,
! cannot blame him so much. He was unpre-
pared morally, bewildered factor in the ma
tional unpreparedness. In the first hysteria he
New-York tribune., 1916-07-30

promised to pay and felt that he was doing his
patriotic duty. Then he became aware that
other employers were lucky enough to have no
patriotic duties to perform and were signing
no pay checks which did not bring immediate
results. The fact that there was no immediate
war increased his resentment Finally he de-
clared: 81 agreed to pay Mr.. Smiths salary on
the distinct understanding that he was to shoot
and to be shot at by Greasers. Our Mr.. Smith
has not shot any Greasers and it appears that
no Greasers have shot at our Mr.. Smith. Con-
sequently our Mr.. Smith has not kept his part
of the contract, and it is therefore null and
void. 1t will be little hard on our Mr.. Smiths
family, of course, but then the whole thing is
unfair"
And that epitomizes it. The system Of vol
untary service Is manifestly unfair and i'm
moral. The good men, physically fit or unfit
rush to the colors, while the Stacker stays. The
sacrifices which the National Guardsmen have
made are all in vain. and the Stacker will grin
derisively at the soldiers who were not in a
war.
In the first hysteria which followed the call
for the National Guard some mitiamen with
families and responsibilities were humilated
by their thoughtless fellow guardsmen because
they refused to take the Federal oath. Some
employers declared frankly that they would not
continue the salaries Of their men who went
and that they would not guarantee to give them
back their positions when they returned. These
men and these employers saw the unfairness of
system which did not distribute the burden
of military service equally They saw through
the scheme of the gentlemen at Washington to
cloak the national unpreparedness, moral and
physical, and they refused to be buncoed
II military service is privilege, it should be
equally distributed. If it is burden it should
