TRAINING, NOT SERVICE.

Inc state DOdrQ Oh agriculture, at
it's annual meeting in Topeka this
week. went on record in opposition
to compulsory military training.
Three years ago the people of this
country knew little or nothing about
military training. Its advantages were
uncertain and debatable. We have
now put two millions of our finest
young men thru the training camps
and we know what the results are.
After an unparalleled cooperation of
all classes of citizens we have won
the greatest war in history, but we
have future to face that calls for
stout hearts, clear vision and a rugged
manhood. We shall have a tremendous
burden to bear and a feavy interest
debt to meet. A new civilization must
be built UP and many big questions
dealt with.
In the last analysis, we. know when
we think of it that the prime factor to
meet the future successfully is man.
power. Now, as never before, must
this be brought to the maximum. I'm
Gle Sam will need a family of trained
and sturdy workers to help him on his
feet. In the new order there will be
no room for the weak and inefficient.
Universal military training is not
military service. Under the plan con-
templated, the young men are trained
and disciplined in self-control, care of
health, personal cleanliness; they are
taught the principles of citizenship:
they are built up into a strong, virile
manhood under the most expert plan
ever evolved; they are trained so they
can promptly and effectively serve
their country in a crisis. Except for
this, rot one of the millions to be
trained will ever see a day of actual
army service. This is the American
plan for a trained and vigorous citi-
zenship, and embraced within a period
of six to nine months.
The militaristic or Germanic plan
puts the boys for two and three years
into actual army service, the purpose
being to make soldiers who would be
subject to the will of Kaiser or other
war lord. Nothing could be more
dangerous or undemocratic than this
Our boys serve in a training camp, the
others serve in the army.
1t is within the knowledge of every
observant person that the military
training in the cantonments has really
worked miracles in developing young
men; thousands have gone into
these training camps narrow chested,
stoop-shouldered, anemic, with little
endurance and a logy eye; and in a
! few months have taken on an aspect
SO wonderfully improved that their
friends hardly know them. They have
become strong, rugged, alert, broad
shouldered. deep-chested, with mus
cles like whipcords; they are ready for
any task requiring strength and en-
durance.
| Every boy is benefited; every boy is
better because of the discipline he has
received. He went into camp perhaps
unruly with little regard for the rights
of others, opinionated, headstrong.
There he quickly learned obedience to
authority. self control, respect for the
rights of others-he became every
| inch man.
In all fields of activity-on the
farm, in the factory. or elsewhere
the capacity of these men will be
| enormously INCREASED, sometimes more
| than doubled, and we shall have
stronger and better fathers for the
coming generations.

GETTING NOWHERE AZ LAST.

Aside from discussion of the situa-
ton. little or nothing is being done
toward solving the railroad problem.
1t seems improbable that government
retention of the railroads for the full
time allowed by law, would in great
measure aid in reaching a proper con-
clusion regarding what is best to do.
Business men, generally, appear to be-
lieve that extending the time five years
would be a serious menace to the
country's best interests.
1t will take a great amount Of dis
cussion-discussion in congress, and
public discussion to get any kind of IA
clear popular conception and deci-
sion. The questions to be decided are
many and full of difficulties. What
is to be done about rate regulation ?
What about state commissions con-
stantly taking lifeblood out of trans
portation? What about over-ca pital-
ization?
There was always a settled suspicion
on the part of large majority of
the shipping public and on the part OF
labor that railroads were heavily
over-capitalized and that all the show
ings made by the railroad companies
as to need for additional revenue
were based on false premises because
they were based on over-ca capitalization
This has from the start of regu1a-
tion been the great obstacle to salts
factory rate making.
Here is a part of the discussion
which it will take a long time to get
settled public opinion upon and with

Pending the compilation of exact
figures it is estimated by government
officials that the. loss to the United
States in the operation of the rail-
roads in 1918 will reach S15O,OO0,O0O.
The aggregate compensation paid by
the government for all roads is about
$3.50. 100000 and the net income has
been about $500, 100000. Receipts of
the roads have been nearly 20 per
cent greater than in 1917, but the
expenses under government control
have increased at a far more rapid
rate. In 1917 about 40 per cent OF
revenue was needed for the payment
of operating expenses. while in 1918,
so per cent was required for that
purpose. In addition the roads have
become indebted to the extent of al
most $200,ooO,O0O for new rolling
stock. That money was loaned by the
government and must be repaid.

Ari&Ona Copper
Company Takes
OUe1- Property
Sale Consummated at Dem
ing Of Shannon Com
pany ID Boston.

Clifton, Ark. Oct. is.-It IS under
stood that the sale OF the shannon
properties TO the Arizona Copper
company. Ltd, was consummated at
Boston on October z. An adjourned
meeting was necessary. a quorum did
not develop at the regular stockhold-
ers meeting. After payments OF all
debts. the Shannon company will be
left with a treasury balance Of about
$3.50. 900. This 70 be used for the de-
velopment OF Its mines at Gleason
and, possibly. at Eeager Canyon. in
NaVapaf county. There is doubt
about the latter, for, while rich ore
has been found, it Is not in sufficient
quantity to establish value for the
property.
The Gleason property. which cost
the company $4,000, can be sold now
for at least $500, 900, according to a
company statement Though the ores
are generally low grade, Il is be-
lieved that enough reserves can be
developed to warrant the establish
ment OF a smelter. According to
president Anster, the Gleason has
been carrying the Shannon for sew
eral years past and in the sale OF
the Clifton-Metcalf property the cor
poration has disposed OF its least
valuable holdings.
