A STATE MILITARY FORCE

One OF the most important measures
pending before the Legislature Is the
Hough police bill. or rather. bill TO re-
establish the national guard. One Of
nude West Virginia Of its former ef
ticient military force. The probabilities
can expect a reorganization OF The state
militia In the mea nwhile It IS evident
that some military OF policr organiza-
tion should be at the disposal of the
Governor. From past experiences we
know how difficult it IS. 10 obtain suf
ticient police protection under certain
conditions from local authorities.
County shcrifs have become in this
state tax collectors and jail keepers
rather than police officers and deputy
sherifTs hastily levied from among cit
izcns and without training and wi;hou:
equipment are poor material with which
to preserve order in /, riotous commun-
ity.
The Governor ought 10 hav" the
means TO secure the protection Of life
and property IN any county OF the state
regardless Of local conditions. Such 4
force need not be large. but it should
be active and we'll trained. 1t should be
maintained on a liberal basis. The In
tellisencer hopes TO see at a not distant
date a complete reorganization of the
state militia 1t believes that local mil
itary companies appeal to the pride Of
a community, stimulate their martial
enthusiasm. and bring home to all cit
liens a keener conception OF this duty
to help to defend by arms If need be
the integrity Of the state. and the lives
and the property Of its citizens. Not
all the danger to the commonwealth
comes from the outside The safety Of
any Republican form of government de-
pends on respect for law and the orderly
enforcement Of law, and every govern
mcnt should have the means 10 compel
disorderly clements to respect law and
to obey them.
