\ wAEEruL ECONOMY.

An aGrml In congress has given black eye
to s-a the tit mo Of s 1.ssss s,ss "s,' ss ",o." %
against the cost of the scheme There have
been many good and sensible reasons urged
against this scheme. but Congressman Mondelrs
plea can hardly be called one OF them. There is
such thing as losing money by being over
economical. However, coming at this time
whom tho public ls weary OF the orgy OF extrav-
agant spending through which we have just
passed. and the penalty OF which we must fng
endure. this appeal 20 the pocketbook bids fair
to be most effective and the advocates OF pre-
parednoss alarmed.
There Is little or no sentiment for great
standing army and It's consequent military caste
We endure such things in emergency only but
a permanent arrangement Is repugnant to Amer
lean tradition There is however. great and
growing belief that only by some sensible plan
one under which tho youth OF our land will be
taken into camp for stated periods yearly ana
trained for possible need will our country be
made ready for such emergencies as the future
lis likely to bring. Nobody believes that there
will be no more wars save those blind league
advocates whose enthusiasm has upset their
common sense. We cannot yet envision the era
when the lion and the lamb can lie down to-
gcthcr aud the world be made lovely by uni
yersal brotherhood Present conditions really
show that this ideal condition is very far away.
Compulsory military training sounds bad TO
the American ear Anything compulsory is re-
pugnaut to a liberty loving people. But in no
other way except by some degree OF compusion
was there ever secured that unity OF purpose
and action upon which alone rests security.
The volunteer system stands condemned as i'm
practical after ample experience, and the draft
system imperfect It was, was in itself an
ncknowr dgment that some compulsion was cs-
sontlal to unity We cannot afford to again be

Compcrs ON Radlcalism.

Samuel Gompers is fighting back at the insldi-
GUS forces which now seek to dislodge him, but
he knows, as almost any observer knows. that
the effort at his defeat IL merely an incident in
their campaign OF radicalism. At the same time
his condemnation of bolshcvlsm, published in
The Federationst the official organ OF the
American Federation Of Labor, voices the sober
sentiment OF American labor In expressing
those views Mr., Gompers Is acting as the spokss-
man for millions OF patriotic American workmen
who know that the rule of a soviet proletarIat
is the most hateful form of a minority tyranny
Mr.. Gompers lays particular emphasis on the
pitiabe state OF Russian working men and wo-
men under the Lenine dynasty. Graft pride Is
lost to them. They work under the stimulus OF
the hayonets of the red guard, and their pay is
the worthless ruble and enough bread to keep
body and soul together They are learning that
state monopoly OF capital is inseparable from
the state servitude OF labor, Discipline so rigor-
GUS as to amount to slavery les already their los.
Mr.. Gompers shows In convincing way the Ills
that bolshevism inflicts on the body polite, The
remedy for those Ills he lets the reader infer for
himself
Hut we all know that bolshcvism involves the
repla cement of private industry and individual
virtues by a proletariat mass rule. 1t can best be
eonibatted by return TO the old fashioned prn-
ciples of the supreme worth of the thrift and
industry Of the individual--St Joseph News

The RnnscNnII MnN.

Taking responsibility and doing things that
ought TO be dono without waiting upon da tory
authority seems to be Roosevelt family trait.
Franklin D. Roosevelt assistant secretary OF the
navy, says that he spent $40. 600 for gums for
the navy after war was declared and before con-
gross got around TO the point Of giving permls-
sion TO spend any money whatever. Something
like that was done when went to war with
Spain. but II was done with executive approval,
and tho use OF special emergency fund. This
time there was no executive approval OF prep
arntion In advance OF war. Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt says that In his efforts to put the
navy, into fighting condition he opposed by
the president, who did not want any visible prep
arattCns for war to seem to negative his profess
slons OF desire for peace
This seems TO be the chief reason that for n
wholo year after the American people had been
converted 10 the doctrine OF preparedness by
former Secretary OF War Garrison, Senator
Chamberlain. Representative kahn, and finally
by the president himself IN speaking tour. no
preparation was really made, and at last we en-
tered the war practically az little prepared as we
