GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS.

When w. Cameron Forbes declared that the Gov ernment should get out of business and stay out ha expressed what is becoming to be generally accepted as demonstrated doctrine in the United States This country is too large much territory differ ing in character and climate and contains too many people, to in business except that of general government which concerns all That does mean that good cannot come from government ownership Of certain classes of business the owning gov ernment is local in character and jurisdiction For instance, there businesses which very properly may be owned and managed by municipalities or States where all the people are interested in the results and may watch their management
 great democracy is not organized along the pro per lines for effective management specific business enterprises In fact, large democracies very often exhibit very imperfect manage of the govern mental machinery itself. The very theory of a de mocracy Is that il should be organized that the masses are supreme. The opinions the masses often change and it is the purpose that there should then be a change in governmental policies Effective 'business manageemnt nearly always depends upon having definite head for the enterprise When the policies Of any business enterprise changed it must be because expert and trained minds have weighed all the matters involved and determined that change Is needed and upon the details of the needed change cannot be, if the enterprise is succeed through wave Of public sentiment that causes public opinion 10 swerve from previous course

 No sovereign citizen of the Middle West or the Gulf the Pacific Coast is sufficiently informed to exercise sovereignty business that directly concern New England only No sovereign citizen of the States qualified 10 exercise sovereignty over Alaska IL is ot fair to ask the distant citizen to educate himself Q that he may be so qualified If he did so he would ot have the time necessary to earn ,y.ux for him.

HEROES IN PEACE TIMES.

The assassination of Deputy Marshal finders at Hot Springs the fourth killing of peace officers the Federal service in Alaska within short time -a percentage of fatalities that equals that of troops killed in battle during the World War. Deputy Marshal Evans at Seward, Deputy Marshal Cal houn at Craig, Assistant District Attorney Ragan at Ketchikan and Deputy Marshal Anders have all paid the supreme sacrifice in their service of the public
 The lesson of these tragic deaths is that all good citizens should take into account the hazard that take upon themselves when they enter the ic of the public peace officers and give to them the support and sympathy that they deserve All of these met death because they pursuing their duties under their oaths in the service of the pople. The officials who have taken up their duties about to do under the risks have been their predecessors
 Another lesson is that in times of peace as well as have army Of who serving their fellows and their countries with life in jeopardy. These men who have been cruelty murdered in the service of the law in Alaska heroes who just worthy of place in the memory of those who live the other heroes who met their death in the excitement and turmoil of battle in France.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-"The Weekly
Dispatch" quotes four British experts
as favoring the Washington proposals.
They are ViceAdmiral Mark Kerr (re~
tired); Viscount Sydenham, Comman-
der Joseph Kenworthy, Independent
Liberal Member of Parliament for
Hull, and John Robert Clynes, former
Food Controller and Labor Member of
Parliament.
Mr.. Clynes is quoted as saying: "The
proposals are good, but limitations
upon such basis would be purely
arithmetical. They do not rise to the
height of the spirit which should
dominate the conference"
"The Sunday Express" halls armis-
tice week as "a week of moral won
ders," and says: "The dawn was break
ing on the long night Of Ireland as the
soul of the British nation bowed itself
in prayer for the peace of the whole
world. Saturday crowned week Of
miracles with the supreme miracle of
Washington. Never in the history Of
mankind has the world been nearer

is something not ourselves shaping the

Weeks Ready to Oppose
Further Cuts in Army
Many Forts and Departments
Must Be Abolished in Case
of Reductions

From Tho TribuMe's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov. l2.-Opposition
to any further reduction in the land
forces Of the American government was
declared to-day by Secretary of War
Weeks, who said that the army could
not further be cut unless many Of the
forts and army departments, where
small garrisons were now quartered.
are abolished.
"The program outlined by Secretary
of State Hughes at to-day's conference
Mr.. Weeks said, "offers the real solu-
ton. 1t concerned naval reduction, be-
cause that is the crux of the whole
question of armament. There was no
statement on land forces because this
government can make no further cnts.
| will oppose any further reductions in
cur army unless corresponding reduc-
tions are made in the overhead, such
as forts and other posts where garri-
sons are maintained"
The American army now is smaller
than that of any Of the principal pow
ers participating in the arms confer
ence. The strength of the army on
October 81, according to official figures
obtained to-day, was l44,199 enlisted
men and 1926 officers. This total
strength of l6o,435 is divided as fol-
lows:
In the United States, 1o7,7ss; in the
Philippines, 15.575; in Hawaii, 2,947:

Of these ships has been begun.

(the Mutsu, launched; the Tosa, the
Kago, in course Of building), and
four battle cruisers (the Amagi and
Akagi, in course of building, and the
Atoga and Takao, not yet laid down,
but for which certain material has
been assembled).
"The total number of new capital
ships to be scrapped under this para
graph is seven. The total tonnage
OF these new capital ships, when COM

ut is proposed that it should be
agreed by the United States, Great
Britain and Japan that their navies,
with respect to capital ships, within
three months after the making of the
agreement, shall consist of certain
ships designated in the proposal and
number for the United States, 1S; for

The tonnage of these ships would
be as follows: Of the United States,
5o0,650; of Great Britain, 6O4,45o; of
Japan, 299, 200. In reaching this result
the age factor, in the case of the re-
spective navies, has reached appro-
pirate consideration.

With respect to replacement, the
United States proposes:
"I) That it be agreed that the first
replacement tonnage shall not be laid
down until ten years from the date of
the agreement.
"(2) That requirements be limited
by an agreed maximum of capital ship
tonnage, as follows:
"For the United States, 100000
tons.
For Great Britain, 100000 tons.
"For Japan, 100000 tons.

limitation above fixed and the maxi
mum standard, capital ships may be
