FINE WORDS FOR THE
' NATIONAL GUARDSMEN
St. Paul Dispatch

Nearly three thousand Minnesota
boys returned to their homes today
after two weeks of intensive military
training at Fort Smelling. They are
all vounteers-members of three
regiments of the Minnesota national
guard. They are going back to their
various civilian tasks in the pink of
physical condition. They have gain
ed an average of three or four pounds
each in weight, their muscles are
those Of carefully trained athletes,
and their faces are tanned by the sun
and wind of the ranges and the
parade grounds. They have been
taught how to take care Of their
bodies, and how to take care of their
country II their country ever calls
upon them For two weeks they
have marched and counter marched,
accustomed themselves to their
weapons. and studied all the methods
of modern warfare learned by the
hard experience in France. In one
respect their experience has been
Two of the regiments-the Fifth and
Sixth-have chosen as their colonies
the inspector instructors assigned to
them by the var department. The
other regiment, the First Minnesota
Field artillery, is commanded by
Colonel Leach who commanded it in
France throughout the war. These
three officers all are hardened vet
Grams of the French battle fields. All
three Of them commanded regiments
in action, all three Of them are dis
tinguished soldiers, and no men are
better fitted to teach American boys
how to take Of themselves than
they. Under them, the Minnesota
national guard is in better condition
than 1t has ever been before, and the
tor Instructors to the colonelcies of
the regiments seems to US a most
useful and valuable one.
In this connection, We hope that
the war department may be pre-
vailed upon to abandon its ANNOUNCE
ed intention to raZe the cantonment
buildings at Fort Smelling. The De-
partment spent a great deal ST mon
ey on these buildings, and the fact
that they have been of great service
to the state guard during the en-
campment would seem to indicate
the a~dvisability of permitting them
to stand. Except for artillery target
practice, Forst Smelling is admirably
" such as the
n which comes to an end today,
and the war department ought to
keep the cantonment buildings for
just such uses. The st. Paul and
Minneapolis commercial associations
have protested against the razing of
the buildings, and very properly.
she brigade eneampment has been a
convincing demonstration of their
value.

SOLEMN REFERENDuMs

Solemn referendums didn't fare

polls November 2 there were many

them being President Wilson's Leag lie

TO adopt his views. We do not beileVe
he will attempt any such thing, and II
he should it would be deplorable. The
convention is to be supreme in the
state, and its views should be para
mount in all things, irrespective OF
the views Of any individual or set OF
individuals. Safe, sane and sound ad'
vice should be needed, but any at
tempt to inject a smattering of auto
cracy into the states organic law
should be spurned by the delegates,
and If they should fall by the wayside
and listen to the siren song OF any
politician with an axe to grind, their
work should be rejected by the peo-
pie If they have that democratic priv
'ilege.
We have had dinned in our ears the
evil of boss and ring rule. So loud
has become the cries OF the reformers
that their hulabaloo each campaign
has become nuisance in every sense
Thier the othe the hheh hemb
Their idea of reform is to kick the
other fellow out and let themselves in.
Their expostulations against ring rule
have become ridiculous and to the
thinking man bear no weight whatever.
If they are sincere In their old time
Ipreachments they will keep hands off
the convention and let it work out its
own destiny and frame the constitu-
ton without interference. If Mr.. Par
ker exerts any influence with this
class~of politicians he will WELD the
"big stick" over their halo-crowned
heads and bid them avaunt. Their pres
ence in the lobby will spell no future
good for the much concerned people
of this sovereign state, and If their
protestations of love and affection for
Louisiana are sincere they will make
their presence only felt by their abb
sence.
We want and need a constitution
that will spell the most good for the
most people. and that can not and will
not be attained if the special and pol
itical interests mix in and tie the con-
vention's hands and feet. This is a
time for craftsmanship and unselfish-
ness and if the reformers now seem
ingly in power are sincere they will
show their sincerity by keeping hands
off.
