was the actual purpose of his visit 70

piled that upon the previous day he

Senator Chamberlain, ranking Democratic member of
the senate committee military affairs OF Saturday
issued statement in which he denounced the War de-
partment army reorganization bill as case of militar-
ism gone mad and virtually charged that it is con-
spiracy the part of the staff to free the army of
congressional control. Doubtless the army has be-
come imbued also with exaggerated notions as result
of the war; but congress has all the power it needs TO
check any tendency in that direction that promises
to become harmful. But congress will have to
remember that while the country has sympathy for
movements that show desire to Prussianize the United
States it also has no intention Of permitting the army
and navy set into the state Of unpreparedness we
were in when We were drawn into the war. Senator
Chamberlain and others in congress who oppose the
War department scheme will have to stop scolding and
present an alternative which command the
confidence of the public if they do not want the bill
under consideration passed.

AT The most critical period Washington, who had been
chairman Of the convention declared himself with the IN
falibe judgment Of his which always saw the way to VIC
tory. He said:
"The constitution or disunton before US
to choose from. II the constitution is our
choice, constitutional door is open for
amendments, and they may be adopted in a
peaceable manner, without tumult or disor-
der"
The Constitution was finally ratified. Twelve amend
ments were submitted by the first congress ten Of which
were adopted Those who wish to pursue the subject fur

Critical Period Of American History.
