WASHINGTON NOTES
Expensive Blunders

Thirty millions of dollars is the
price the people will pay as a result
of the Daniels experiment in con-
sGructing the mosquito fleet" of sub
marine chasars. Contracts were plac-
cd last April for the construction of
about $50 of these boats at from $780,
900 to 100000 each. The SECRETARY
of the navy recently grnourced that no
more of these boats would be con
structed as they have proved to be
absolutely untitled for the work for
which they were intended, being too
small @nd too slow. 1t is blundcrs OF
this sort that explain President VIII
sons opposition to the creation of q
joint committee on expenditures in
the conduct of the war There have
been many others. There will be
many others if the people are not per
mitted to know how the money which
is taken from their pockets s spent
A joint committee of the representa-
tives of the people formed to scruti-
nize these expenditures would put the
brake on the financial joy-riding OF
such men rs McAdoo, Daniels, and
Baker.

Nickname Not Essential

Efforts to apply some arbitrary
nickname to United States soldiers
serving in Europe will be unavailing.
Nick-names of that sort are born, not
made. When some proper occasion
arises or when some popular name
shall be inadvertently suggested, the
name will stick. The soldiers them
selves will make the name and no one
else can make it for them. Whether
they have a nickname or not, they
will give a good account of themselves
on the firing line or wherever they
may be.

The Reason

Portland is enjoying some
of that prosperity that the
dry leaders tell us about.
Portland enjoyed an immense
tourist business before the
State went dry, and she had
many fine hotels and other
places of entertainment for
her guests. Many of these
buildings are now vacant be-
cause people who travel do
not care to be annoyed by
detectives going through
their luggage; so they do
not stop in Portland any
more. Such tourist trade as
Portland gets now comes
largely from Kansas and
other arid territory. These
people do not stop in hotels,
but carry their bedding and
lunch with them.
Portland is not to blame
for her condition. State
wide prohibition gave to the
farmers and villagers up
State an opportunity to de.
StrOy values that they had
no part in creating, and an
opportunity which they took
great delight in embracing;
that of giving to the Oregon
metropolis a law not of her
own choosing. Portland
contains more than One-third
of the population of the
Otate ana neT domination,
for so many years, of the
politics of that common
wealth created a sentiment
in the rural districts that the
dry leaders were not slow to
recognize and use with telling
effect. Valley Times.

MILITARY CENSUS

ers, Sees Commissioners.

Representing several hundred citi-
zens who are advocates Of the pre-
paredness movement, a committee
consisting of Frederick L. Huide-
koper, chairman; Edward ]. Stell-
wagen. 'and w. d. Hoover, called on
the District Commissioners today TO
urge that immediate steps be taken to
have q complete military census
made OF all male citizens above the
age of eighteen IN the District, OF
"all women who will volunteer to per-
form such service as they are fitted
for in the event OF war, and all aliens
above the age of eighteen resident
or temporarily sojourning within the
District" The other members OF the
committee are 8. w. Woodward ana
Theodore W. Noyes.
Received by Commissloners.
The committee was received by all
three Commissioners. Assurances
were given that the recommendations
would be given consideration, being
in line with plans already formulated.
The following letter was left WIN
the board:
"In advocating such an enumera-
tion, this committee Is OF the opinion
that we should endeavor to profit by
the experience of other nations under
similar conditions and to anticipate a
step which is indispensably neces.
sary IL the man and woman power of
the nation Is to be utilized effectively
in war. Such a measure would also
act as a decided deterrent upon aliens
who might work harm to our coun-
try during hostilities.
"An enrolment and registration
similar to that now advocated was
provided by the organic act OF May
8, 1892, the purpose of which was
more effectually to provide for the
national defense by establishing
uniform militia throughout the
United States This law, moreover,
exacted compulsory training and ser
vice on the part of every free, able
bodied white male citizen between
the ages of eighteen and forty-five
years. Although never properly en-
forced, II stood upon our statute
books until January 81, 1908, when II
was repealed by the so-called Dick
BILL which sought to promote the
efficiency of the militia
IN urging sucn Census ds ihuI'
Gated above, this committee is ami
mated solely by a desire to assist in

perative that the Federal Govern
ment take for national defense"
Champion Of Preparedness
Mr.. Huidekoper IL one of the vice
presidents OF the National Security
League and has long been one Of the
foremost champions OF preparedness.
THE Commissioners have announced
that endeayor will be made to obtain
an early appropriation from Congress
for carrying into effec. the law of
March 1, 1899, providing for a mill
tary census of the District.
An item OF 5000 for this purpose
was included in the general defici-
ency bill which failed OF passage at
