Power of Congress to Deal With EIeo.
 toraI College Roturns.
 The electoral commission established the precedent that congress should not seek to go behind certificates regularly submitted by recognized state govern ments. That principle is also embod- jed in the Edmunds law of 1887, which defined and enlarged the power of con- gress to deal with electoral college re- turns.
 :, This act directs that if any state shall have provided by law before the selection of electors for the final deter mination of contests regarding their appointment the states decision shall be final unless the regularity of the states action is questioned by both houses of congress.
 If two or more returns are received these rules govern:
 First.-If the state shall have deter mined that the votes forwarded in one of the returns were given regularly those votes shall be counted.
 Second.--If two authorities, each claiming regularity, shall both have de- termined that the different sets of voters were regularly cast then con gress must decide which set shall be accepted.
 Third.-If. the state shall have made no determination, then congress shall be free to determine But if the houses cannot agree the votes of those electors whose appointment is certified by the governor shall be counted.
 The general purport of the act Is to recognize the right of congress to de- eide all disputed questions in regard to the counting of electoral votes which the state has not decided or has de cided frregularly.-New York Tribune.

UNIVERSAL TRAINING

Col. Roosevelt has again found speech, after
a comparatively long period of silence, for him.
He goes hammer and tongs after President Will
son.
Omitting his enthusiastically free flngng of
those short and singing words, there is one topic
on which he cannot say too much. And that is
the subject of universal training
We cannot afford to forget the problem of ma
tional defense. We cannot risk keeping quiet on
that Whether we like Roosevelt or not, whether
his tone is right or wrong, whether most
things or on many things he talks too much, on
this one topic he cannot say enough.
For more than six months the Hay bill, de-
signed to give this country an adequate system Of
defense, has been in effect.
1t provides for the increase of the standing
army and national guard forces.
Our militia system, which never got much SYM
pathy from professional soldiers, was smiled
upon with favor by the politicians
The militia didn't stand the sun on the Mex-
lean border, and former defenders have lost heart
and hope.
A day or so ago Some troops in Texas went
marching to the song, eve Want to Go Home"
Our own Troop B, at Calexco, would like to
come home The governor of the state has asked
the war department to send them back
The national guard, even though in such ex-
cellent shape in this state, has proved in
adequate.
What then, the answer?
1.-THE American people must sooner or later
come around to Roosevelt's viewpoint that those
who enjoy the privileges of the democracy must
shoulder its obligations equally. Our national
defense is at stake-and universal training is our
refuge
The Times has consistently pleaded, since the
war with its lessons has been inprogress, for uni
versal training, believing that it is both demo-
cratic and a national necessity.
Now again we urge our readers to think sober
ly on this vital problem.
''The strength of the pack is the WOLF and the
strength of the wolf is the pack"
I gathers, mothers, sisters wives and sons of
Tacoma need be thinking of this step.
1t may be that your boy, who now sits on the
floor with pile of blocks between his legs, will
face future invaders with rifle at his shoulder.
He should not be unit in a mob
lie should know how to be soldier
And it's time we took definite steps to train
him.
