THE MILITARY MUST BE

that serio-comic naval row between the

gress itself will amplify the discussion next
month. But here is one point that might as
well be kept in mind, and is given special
force by the situation in Manchuria.
Over there across the Pacific is war
cloud which, though as yet no bigger than
mans hand, might rise, spread and darken
the world. And that cloud, as interpreted
by intelligent American observers, has re-
suited from the japanese army getting out
of hand
The war minister at Toxic is retired
general, with the military viewpoint and
the spirit of Samurai The japanese army
is controlled by coterie of militarists able
to inflame public opinion There are states
men in Toxic wise, but impotent against
such group. Statemen talked peace, and
probably desired peace, but the army got
out OF hand and committed the government
to defense of its actions
That is the sort of thing always likely
to happen when military men, whose pro-
fession is fighting get in control of national
policies. Admirals have done the same in
Great Britain more than once. The trainers
of the United States Constitution knew
what they were doing when they placed our
army and navy under civilian authority.

Leagues may think, such civilian authority

WASHINGTON, December 2.-Prac-
teal politicians as represented on the
Republican and Democratic National
Committees have college problem on
their hands These directing groups will
meet this month and next for the pur-
pose of shaping the 1882 Presidential
campaign. If they have consulted the
reliable political almanac the master
minds will realize that the session Of
the Electoral College which, under the
law, must convene the second Wednes-
day in February Of 1888, may furnish
them with trouble through nullifica-
ton Of their best laid schemes of con-
quest. Those with an ear to the ground
say the prospects for formation of
powerful third party are excellent The
predictions are that a strong indepen-
dent ticket will serve as wedge and
drive the Presidential contest into
deadlock and probable election of
President and Vice President by Con-
gress.
