Either Way
weakness

We have not heard yet whether the Mexican mli- tary authorities going to surrender the cap tured Buckeye bandits shoot them The latter disposition of them would this country summary be almost shocking but we think taxpayers would find the somewhat relieved that is, sort of shock absorber, the reflection that there would be public expense for their trials and continued later expense for fatening them in the penitentiary. We just deprived ourselves of cutting off the last item expense and some of our citizens not yet reconcied the doctrine that the worst possible you can make of a man is to hang him"
 The execution of these bandits by the Mexican military would have salutary effect It would convince our criminals that Mexico is not d land of refuge and it would make their capture easier A Mexican robber murderer would hesitate to go there and there is other adjacent state to which he could easily go without danger of detection and capture
 If those bandits should be shot that would not lengthen the already long list Mexican outrages against American citizens

Half an Hour of Oysters

While talking about early Christmas shopping (and the time it is almost past), there Is the neglected subject of Christmas giving. The Salvation Army pots hung in tripods along the street They hung there boil but note with regret that they boiling furously yet What given the splendid work of the Salvation Army should be given early, once for after the purchases which the Salvation Army must make and the preparation for the free Christmas dinner for children who would otherwise have no Christmas dinner
 If one would stop in the vicinity of of those pots and note the eagerness with which of the children measure the generosity of passers- by he would loosen his purse strings Yesterday two little boys, probably prospective guests of the Salvation Army on Christmas standing near one of the pots talking to its custodian T could eat oysters half an hour said of the little boys in glorious anticipation "or turkey either" he added
 That 6 new way to gauge the capabilities of an appetite-by time instead of by volume But a half an hour of oysters meant the this little hoy as so many dozens or many quarts. We hope he will have. anyway oysters for a half and hour and as much longer as may be necessary the requirements of that appetite.
 Times are good now, maybe good for the yei- poor. They good that those in the enjoyment of them forget that there are any very poor We remember that the Christmas of two years ago did fall in very prosperous season The outlook in this community then seemed rather gloomy It happened that many people fairly we'll -do found their money temporarily tied up that they could buy the expensive Christmas things they intended 10 buy. They felt exactly the pinch of poverty but the sensation of having much as they desired. We may call it the gentle restraint of want They were thus reminded that there such a thing poverty. They looked about them and saw it and contributions Christmas gifts and dinners for the needy were more generous than they had ever been before
 There such reminders this year but poverty exists just the If it is quite as widespread then it is just biting. Fill up Saliva ton Army pots and make them boil
 That is not all. There will be many poor children who will not be at the Salvation Army dinner They will report for it and the Army officials will not know about them, but there will be some lady in the neighborhood where they live who will know and who should 1t that they have Christmas dinners.

General Seott's Blunt Words

The annual report of Secretary of War Baker for some unknown reason entirely ignored the problem confronting the United States in connection with ras ing training and equpping adequate military force the only lesson which he able draw from the mobilization of troops the border being the need of suitable program of recreational activity for soldiers during periods of enforced inactivity"
 But while MT. Baker appears have been con- cerned only with insttutng plan playgrounds for soldiers perhaps modelled the excellent system of paygrounds for children introduced in Cleveland while he was serving mayor. Major General Hugh l. Scott chief of the army staff with the buntness of soldier in his annual report tells the people of the United States that the volunteer military system as provided for in the Hay army reorganization act has proven complete failure in connection with opera tons in Mexico
 The report states that the federalized national guard is effective military body and cannot be made without long period of hard training In addition to this with all the agitation over prepared ness it has been found impossible to bring the force up to it's paper strength. The failure" he says should make the whole people realize that the voun. teer system does not and probably will not give us either the men we need for training in peace or for service in war"
 The public has here presented to it without any embroidery of graceful words or honeyed phrases the most important problem of the day. The ghastIy failure Of the democratic scheme for strengthening the army brings the people face face with dis agreeable knowledge that in of trouble with any important nation they would be fully as badly off as any of the smaller nations of Europe in the face of German invasion. Universal military training is what we need General Scott, what we must have If the country is to have any adequate system of defense.
 But here of course pacifism. and the spirit of T didn't raise boy to be soldier" and he kept us out of war" will all make their appearance and will all have to be before the first step can
