FOR HOME DEFENSE
sFifteen Divisions Now Formed,

to Be Organized.
WILL STRENGTHEN POLICE

More than 5000 citizens of the Dis
trict of Columbia are now enrolled In
the Home Defense League. Weekly
drills are being held by the several d.
visions and the entire institution is
rapidly becoming thoroughly organized.
1t now has fifteen divisions. including
constabulary, rifles and motor cars. The
motor boat division is in process Of forma-
ton.
In but little more than two months
since the first meeting of the officers
was held the league has been develop
ed to a point where 1t would be OF
valuable assistance to the authorities
in the event Of any local emergency. Its
efficiency is expected to increase
steadily. however. as the organization
becomes more nearly perfect, and as
the men gain more knowledge and ex-
perience through their weekly drills
and instruction. Although the war was
the primary cause for the formation OF
the league, it is intended that the body
shall become a permanent institution.

themselves with the sections of the city

Home Defense League patrolmen for
each police patrolman. SO that if the
latter is called away in emergency
there will be three civilians ready to

rupling the police force. The members
of the league are to go over the
beats with the respective patrolmen
on whose territory they would be sta
toned in the event of an emergency.
In this way 1t is anticipated that a bet

Would Prove of Greatest Value.

1t has been pointed out that no one
can tell at what moment such an or
ganiZation as the Homo DEFENSE
League may be needed. and badly. In
the event of an emergency such
large body of organized men supple
menting the police force would prove
of the greatest value in the protection
of life and property.
Stating the objects of the league. in
troductory remarks in a pamphlet
which has recently been issued IN tho
interests Of the organization and CIV
ing instruction for the members ex-
plain:
while the Home Defense League Is
intended to be second line of police
defense for the District Of Columbia,
there is no telling what position 1t Will
have to fill before the war Is over. 1t
is not impossible that Washington may
suddenly be stripped of troops called
to other places and the regular police
may have their hands full in quelltn g
riots and preventing incendiarism. In
this case the Home Defense League
might not only have to replace the
police in their regular work. but the
buildings. grounds and monuments
would have their work cut out for
them and the rifles and mounted con-
stabulary would have to take the place
works and bridges. while the motor
car division would transport the men
wherever required and the motor boat
division would help in policing the
water front and in protecting piers and
bridges. We do not anticipate such
conditions. but If we are well prepared
for any emergency we shall be fully
able successfully to meet the lesser
troubles which are likely to occur.

HIGHER-PRICED LABOR
AND IT'S RESULTS

The result is going to be that we
are going to have to materially in
crease the wages of Southern farm la
Dor. And if crop prices have so ad-
vanced as to justify it, we ought to
do it. We even question the morality
and Christianity of trying to keep the
poor man who has only the muscle
God gave him for support from get
ting the most the worlds market will
give him for it.. We ought to face
the competition Of other sections not
by taxing and mobbing "labor agents"
but by treating our own labor so fair
ly that it will be willing to stay with
US.
We ought also to recognize the fact
that the scarcity of labor is going to
force us into using much improved
machinery heretofore neglected.
Moreover, if the labor to make the
cotton crop leaves or secures higher
pay, this will mean higher prices for
the cotton thus repaying in greater
or less degree the man who hires high
priced labor; while the man who has
labor in his own family will get all
the advantages of higher priced labor
without any of the disadvantages Of
paying out money for it. In fact, if
we had not had cheap labor race in
the South-in other words, if we had
had to pay the wages paid in North
ern and Western states-cotton would
probably have sold for at least a
fourth more every year we have madeI
a crop. So if labor now advances in
prices, the man who hires labor will
probably find compensation in in
creased cotton prices, while the farm
er who works with his own hands will
naturally fare better than ever before.
vance wages arbitrarily without
This does not mean of course that
1T pays any class of employers to ad-
vance wages arbitrarily without
rhyme or reason. 1t does mean that
if the law of supply and demand
brings about increased wages there
will be compensation in the form of
increased crop prices. 1t is also in
teresting to find that the profit-shar-
ing idea is beginning to win approval
among farm employers as we'll as
among city employers.-The Progress
sive Farmer.
