Bakers Plan Cor an Army.

Secretary Bakers plan for permanent
military establishment is perhaps the best THAI
has been offered 70 this country. Certainly it
is an Improvement over ttss militarism of Eu-
rope which we fought to abolish
Three months training for a young man in
his goth year ought not permanently incline
him toward the profession Of arms and assur-
eddy it is not asking much of each individual
who is fit. Furthermore a rigid medical exam
nation of every young at that age and
subsection to a short period of4arnly discipline
would tend to the physical improvement of the
race while no man of honest Intentions would
object to being registered
The value OF the plan lies mainly:in its pos
sibilitfes for physical improvement and in the
creation of a system for recording the quail
dcations of males of military age, making it
always possible to know how much material
for an army is available, and where to get it
on short notice. Three months of training will
not make soldier Of a young man unless he
has a special bent in that direction.
If we must have an army always ready the
war secretary has outlined a working scheme
which seems to 1T our conditions fairly well.
However, it remains to convince majority of
the people that future requirements of this
government call for anything $50 elaborate. A
standing army of more than half a million
men for a country of peaceful, proclivities and
unexposed to sudden attack is rather extrava-
giant, especially in view of what is being at
tempted on behalf Of permanent peace among
first class powers.
This country favors that which will enable
it to defend itself and it is ready to go to any
necessary length for purely defensive purposes.
It believes, however, in the efficacy of strong
navy and well developed air equipment rath
or than in large body of professional SOL
diers It never has been warlike in its ten
dencies and it is inclined less now than ever
to take chances of becoming inoculated with
the germ of militarism. ..---

party in Canada. the choice to be
made at the great party convention

premier of the province of Sas-

brought up in the nanse at Exeter,
in the same province. After a
preparatory schooling he went to
Toronto university, where he was
graduated with honors in the class

awhile and, in 1903, removed to Re
gina. where he studied and later
practiced law. In 1908 he was sent
to the national legislature as mem
Der for Regina, and was returned in
1911. His ability and force OF char

insured ultimate prominence in
provincial and federal politics as a

Making Dire Predictions.

The prediction by a British labor leader
that there will be a spasm of popular rage
during the next few months which will wipe
out the remains of civilization in Europe is in
tAresting in that it shows the depths OF mental
depression to which a good many people are
descending
During the war popular rage among the
allies was properly directed against Germany
If Germany was responsible for the war it is
also responsible for the train of events which
is following it. There is no use, however. in
carrying the state of mind any further. The
wrath which inspired the deeds which humbied
the Hun is no longer in order and accom-
plish nothing but injury to the wrathful.
As to the humiliation of civilization it isn't
going to be done. Whatever happens enough
will be left for seed and there will be a new
crop more fourishing than ever in short
while.
People of the allied countries have borne
a great deal and they not going to COM
pletely lose their heads now and sacrifice the
advantages for which they successfully fought.
This is a good time to keep your temper
and not allow your mind to stray too far from
your knitting,

The Vets Last Hope.

Nobody ever fought more hopeless battle
than the wets,-who today announced their
plan of campaign against the national prohi-
bition amendment Chief dependence is placed
upon a referendum in states whose 1egisla-
lures already have ratified.
Fifteen out Of the Is states which have rati-
fed have the right of referendum. Petitions
filed asking for submission of the question of
prohibition to the people have been thrown out
in three of them. In these three cases an ap-
peal has been made to the United States SUI
preme court to compel acceptance of the petit
tons and the calling of elections.
In the y states remaining it is proposed
to force vote. Inasmuch as So states must
stand by the amendment to keep it in force, if
the legislatures are overruled in 10 states ma
tional prohibition will have been defeated. The
IL states in which five out of six must reg
lister for John Barleycorn are Michigan, Ohio,
Missouri. Arkansas, New Mexico, Colorado, Ne
braska, Washington. California, Nevada, Maine
and Oklahoma. Several of these have been dry
for number of years and so it must take a
great deal of optimism to hope for a reversal
Of the verdict already returned.
Aside from the referendum the vets have
only one other plan and that is to contest the
validity Of the amendment in actions before

ceeding the state Of Rhode Island, which re

The Chicago Riots.
louisville Courier ournaD


Starting with the stoning and drowning Of
a negro who had drifted on a raft into the
water of a beach used by whites, the Chicago
race riots spread in the manner generally as
sumed by that species of lawlessness, both
whites and blacks running amuck and wreak-
ing their rage upon one another the color Of
their skins being the only offease of many of
their victims.
Such riots are matters Of race and not of
erners to inquire the significance of>the fact
which have shocked the country recently oc-
Cured in the south. long indicted by north
erners as responsible for negro batting. Moth
ing that has taken place in the south, even in
the chaotic days of reconstruction, fills black
page in the story of racial relations
than these unbridled rampages in Washington
and Chicago of the beast that is in human kind
Chicago especially has been pharisaically con-
demnatory of the south's treatment of the
negro. The Tribune, from the days of Medill
to the present has been rabid in its abuse of
the south on this score, while the Inter Ocean,
during its long life of stalwart partisanship,
was even more extreme, if possible.
The moral is palpable. Race conflicts, dis
graceful to our civilization and indefensible
under our organized government are liable to
develop when the conditions are favorable :
and they have been exceptionally favorable
lately in northern cities which have had in
fuxes of negro population and which have
made special professions Of treating the negro
in accordance with his abstract rights of equal
ity with the whites.

Congress Weakness.

Whatever measures congress may adopt to
reduce the cost of living will have to be taken
in spite of the opposition OF members who rep
resent special interests. Debate in the senate
yesterday made it evident that there is
duction or distribution to which the country
is looking for relief from extortionatet charges;
Senators from the manufacturing districts
felt sure that the fault did not lie with the
manufacturers; those from the wheat growing
area believed that the price of wheat is too
small an item to be worth considering and
Senator Sherman was positive that the packers
have nothing to do with it. And SO it went
Individually and collectively congress is lit
tie better equipped to wrestle with the question
now uppermost in the public mind than an
equal number of people chosen at. random
among successful men in different communi-
ties To offset greater experience in public
affairs it labors under a chronic dread of po-
litical consequences which makes it hard for
members to keep their minds fixed upon the
subject under discussion.
The present emergency demands straight
thinking and prompt action. There is no time
to look about to see whether the galleries

Der are of about as much relative consequence
as the life of an ant which tries to cross the

Interests of all the people, not of those of
any particular locality must be considered.
Congress- unfortunately, is in the habit of
thinking by districts.

Answer-Man's heat-regulating
apparatus is designed to work eff
GENTLY in a medium of lower tenn
perature than blood heat. Ordi-
nary life processes (metabolism)-
that is, functional activities of all
the organs-produce heat which
must be dissipated. This is most
readily done when the surrounding
air is of a temperature rather less
than the temperature of the blood.
CaIOmel Not For the Liver.
You say calomel does not act on
the liver. Will you please tell me
what does act on it? Il. VI
Answer-Exercise and such food
as fresh greens, relishes and vege-
tables and fresh fruits act as slim
ulants to the liver. I know of no
medicine which may be considered
as acting on the liver. Calomel has
no more influence on the liver than
has any other strong physic.

mel cloth, and with a few drops of
turpentine, good for anybody trou-

sea with its breakers roaring in sui

whispered low from the mystic
caves afar. The sea gulls circled
with graceful sweep on the broad

by like sheeted ghosts in the twi-

Getting Warm on Colds.
NQTER

OSN~AhS w ga A1 U6 AVA0oa
Long weeks have passed without
a twang of the string of the harp
about catching cold. So today We
take pleasure in presenting a new
number, words by an editorial
writer in the New York Medical
Journal, music by the eastern
hemisphere.
In a word, the respiratory af-
fections appear to be more serious
than a generation ago, in spite OF
the fact that our homes are more
comfortably heated. Indeed, this
is so true that many authorities
are inclined to- suspect that our
heating arrangements have made
people generally more susceptible
to respiratory diseases and the
death rates higher. The old i'm
Heads up. here. Understand, I
didn't write this.
The old impression that these
diseases are due to cold has, of
course disappeared entirely from
the minds of hygienists and sani-
tarians, though it is still current
in the popular view, and even
some members of the medical pro-
fession continue to cherish this
belief. Perhaps the best demon
stration that cold, even when ex-
IRENE and under unusual condi-
lions is not dangerous to humanity
is to be found in the vital stats
tics Of New York City for the past
year. Winter before last we had
the coolest weather that New York
has known in the history of its
weather bureau, the worst months
being January and February. On
account of the war and labor con-
ditions the supply of coal gave out
and many people had to be salts
fed with lower temperatures ana
less comfortable living conditions
than they were accustomed to. In
spite of this fact, the death rate
in New York for the two months
was lower than it had been in the
corresponding two months for
years.
Respiratory diseases, then, are
not predisposed to by cold, but on
the contrary, the reaction pro-
duced by cold creates protection
against them"
That final verse is so good that
we had better sing it over again
and again as a chorus.
1 hate to say, / told you so, but
the truth will out.
