An Unnecessarily Frightened Bishop
lRnSfon Ira nscrinfl

Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, who last
evening, at the Mount Vernon
Church, voiced his apprehensions
concerning the Authorization of
this country as a result Of universal
training, may rest easy in his mind.
There is nothing ''militaristic." moth
ing Prussian at all, in this PROPOSE
ton. On the contrary, it is against
such militarism. as the experience of
the republic of Switzerland has
proved. and as indeed the early his
tory of the American Republic when
every able bodied youth and man
belonged to "trainband." proved;
universal military capacity in the
citizen not only provides an efficient
national defence. but obviates all
necessity for militaristic control of a
nations affairs. 1t is precisely upon
the average citizens indifference to
defence. and upon his incompetence
for it. that militaristic control rests
in any country. If YOU have univer-
sal training. says Bishop Hughes,
you will have mighty Army and a
mighty Navy" Well, if we have a
citizen body devoted to the arts of
peace, but competent upon occasion
for the business Of war when that
business is brought to our doors, we
shall indeed have mighty Army"
it will be good thing, and a mighty
inducement to our enemies to let US
alone.

Proposition to Tax Advertising

\ proposition to tax advertising
looks much like taxing efforts to get
business as well as the business it
self. This method for obtaining rev.
snue is provided for in a bill intro
duced by Congressman Thompson
March s. and referred to the House
Committee on Ways and Means.
This measure would impose a tax
of ten per cent on all advertising in
publications including books and
pamphlets excluding in newspaper
advertising what are known as the
classified advertisements.
Tho need of increasing the income
Of the government is so urgent, and
the retrenchment of expenditure is
so unpopular with those pinched by
it that every possible source of rev.
cnue is considered. with, often, too
little consideration of the result.
Hunger would eat the goose which
laid the golden eggs. That would
seem to be the only explanation of
!. proposition like this.
This tax on newspaper advertis-
ing. with the responsibility of it's
collection by the publishers. would
in our judgment be a severe blow to
a large number of smaller publica
tons throughout the United States.
Many publications in this class have
already been forced to discontinue
on account of the high cost of publ
cation expenses, and to further ham
per them would be ill advised, a very
serious hardship to many publica-
lions.

Whatever opinion may be held re-
speeding the necessity for the en-
ployment of Mr.. Hughes as counsel
to represent Maine before the FEEDER
al court in the prohibition test case.
the necessity for enjoining the Gov
ernor from doing this has not, we
think. been apparent to most people.
Moreover the suspicion that the in
junction was instigated by influ-
ences having their origin in some
thing besides public spirit, undoubt-
eddy has existed.
Assuming good grounds for such
a suspicion the result is merited, lu-
dicrous as it was. 1t might we'll be
termed a flzzle dramatized. Those
who brought the Injunction assumed
the Governor had done or proposed
to do this thing to be enjoined and
their only source of evidence was
the Governor himself. There GER
tainly were dramatic possibilities in
placing a Governor on the witness
stand and having the Chief Justice
administer the oath-something
which is said never before to have
occurred in this State-something Of
the tragic the enjoiners may have
thought. But. when after this i'm
pressive preliminary the Governor
stated that he had not done this
thing. ard it appeared the Attorney
General of the State had done it as
ne had a perfect right to do under
the conditions, the spectacle became
a comedy.

bic to have the first divisional en-
campment. Those who have been
in touch with military matters must
greatly appreciate the advantages
that can be offered at these great
environments over the ordinary
campgrounds of the various states
The large drill fields. both for close
and extended order, the best of sani-
tary arrangements, the ranges for
artillery. machine guns and small
arms practice, where one or more
regiments may shoot at the same
time, beside many other advantages
as to remount stations end trans
portation problems which arc SO
bothersome in the small camp. all are
there and will be benefited by.
I'm the future. whatever is to be
done for the National Guard. our aim
will be to make it the NEST efficient
possible. Whatever may lie the feel
ing Of the National Guard officers as
to the efficiency of the Guard or the
feelings of the regular army officers,
who felt that it was rotten to the
core, it was called into the service in
1917 and the divisions of the Ma
tional Guard were the first complete
ones to reach Europe. Notwith-
standing the criticisms heaped upon
them, they were able to meet and
defeat the best drilled troops Of the
world and to plant the American flag
on German soil.
with these facts. whatever may
be our feelings toward the National
Guard as to efficiency, it was able to
do wonderful job and military men
today agree that it is a system that
has proved it's worth and must be
continued. With the hearty support
of the public, the War Department
and Congress, il ever again called
into service, will prove a more eff
fective organization than it did in
1918.
Without the National Guard-and
no one can deny the statement-we
could not have entered the World
war in strength before the summer
Of 1919. Indeed. not in time to have
helped poor France and her allies.
These officers and enlisted men,
who had long endured an unremit-
ting howl against them, being called
tin soldiers and other slanderous and
degrading names. pitted themselves
against the worlds best trained
troops and maintained the reputa-
ton of the American soldier"
