MILITARY TRAINING HEREAFTER.

There is good deal of confusion about the military
policy of the United States hereafter. Many speakers
and writers saying that the present system must be
continued It hardly possible that the public viii to
crate this system in its present form anywhere near
it. To the ordinary American mind such policy, in
peace tme would too much of oldfashioned mtar
sn and would be inexcusable burden to the nation
The principle of the draft is probably established for
good For any purpose of peace it is recognized
farer and more democratic than the volunteer system
Such men as are chosen for mill ary drill du should
undoubtedly be chosen by the seecte draft process But
this is not saying that all young men, they of
a certain age, should be forced into military life.
1t is necessary to make distinction 1t is not uni
versa military service that the American people acquiesce
in 1t is universal liability for military service" which
is different thing Out of all those liable, the de-
partment might choose, by fair pan from year to-
year, many needed for immediate purposes and
for the creation of sufficient army AS for
taking all boys and training them for soldiers ac-
cording to the established method anybody who tries
that will run up against powerful public opposition
The only way in which universal service or training
might be tolerated would be to modify the regular army
system and train the majority of the boys primarily for
physical development and for national service outside of
the ordinary military purpose No such system seems
yet to have been worked out.

ONE OF THE "suREs."

Wyoming is one of the seven states
which will vote upon the question Of
statewide prohibition next November.
The Republican party Of that state has
through Its central committee declared
itself emphatically for the measure.
The resolution indorsing prohibition
concludes with these words:
"We, the representatives of the Re
publican party of the state Of Wyom-
Ing, In committee assembled, do here
and now pledge every person recelv-
ing a nomination for any public office
within the state of Wyoming at our
hands, from United States senator
down to ward constable, to the policy
Of absolute prohibition and the en-
fOrcement of every law enacted for the
purpose of bringing about the COM
plete prohibition of the manufacture,
barter and sale of alcoholic liquors for
beverage purposes"
Entirely surrounded by dry states, on
the south and west two deep, Wyoming
cannot logically remain wet. Ninety.
nine per cent of the state Is already
dry under state and municipal statute.
Women have voted there since 1859.
That statewide prohibition will win
next fall is a foregone conclusion.

aYou Man Have Seen ThIs.n

The woman was so elderly the pas
sengers concluded the child she carried
must be her grandchild. Anyhow, she
was elderly enough that without her
burden, she should have been entitled
to seat in the car. But the seats
were already taken, mostly by women.
It happened that the strap the old
woman elected to cling to hung d.
rectly over the head Of young man in
olive drab, busily engaged in conversa-
ton with a young woman. Block after
block the car ambled on, and from time
to time the old woman shifted the child
to the other arm and chung to the
strap with the other hand. Block after
block, and still the soldier sat. "At
this point" says our gentlemanly in
formant, "we arrived at my corner,
and then the old lady got a seat

EXPLODED ARGUMENTS!

Estates which have already adapted
themselves to prohibition can smile at
the arguments advanced by its oppO-
nents In New York, for they have al
ready been exploded" says the Port
land Oregonian, paper formerly
opposed to prohibition. "The lost rev.
enus is already made up by other
forms Of taxation without hardship or
complaint, especially as the effect Of
prohibition is already becoming APP
parent In a dimlnu.iOn Of crime and
insanity and consequently of public
burdens. Brewerles are applied to
other uses than making beer and other
retail business has occupied vacant
saloons. Former employees Of brewer
les and saloons have found other occu.
pations, for there are practically no
unemployed in Oregon who wish to
work. States and cities have learned
that they can get along without liquor
revenue, capital has learned that 1t
can find profitable use for property
which was formerly applied to pro-
duction Of revenue, and workingmen
have found other jobs. The liquor
traffic has disappeared and we have
quickly closed the gaps which 1t left"

QUESTIONS FOR LABOR TO AN.

In an appeal to the labor unions of
the country to refuse to longer be the
catspaw of the liquor industry when
labor circles are In reality largely dry,
Charles Stelze says: "Shall the trades
unions be made the scapegoat for an
evil which it is sought to continue,
against the best judgment of increas-
ing numbers of workingmen? Shall
future generations hold 1t against or
ganized labor that, in the twentieth
century, 1t allied itself with those who
stood for sin and the debauchery Of
the saloon? Shall the saloon dom
mate the labor movement when every
other decent organization and institu-
ton is breaking loose from its power?
These are questions which labor must
answer, and answer so emphatically
that no one can mistake the real at
titude of the trades unions"
