In our opinion the great majority ‘of the people of this country, for the first time in its history, would foliow with enthusiasm the leadership of the President and Congress to the goal of a citizen army, trained and equipped to defend the nation. The principle that the first duty of every citizen of a democracy is to be liberties is ailable from whatever standpoint considered.

All who saw the boys march must have been impressed with the im- provement in their military form af: ter some six months of active fleld service under conditions almost as trying as if there had been actual hostilities with Mexico. Their health is excellent and the general appearance of the troops showed the results ‘of arduous train- ing, lf 2 few weeks of drill and dis- cipline, can,, work, such wonders with a body of men such as these, how strong the argument for universal mil- tary training.’ Individually these boys form the ba- sis of a fine army. They are brave, sturdy and patriotic, but the military system which exerts control is wrong and fundamentally weak.

Welcome home! PRIVATE MANAGEMENT BEST. The promptness with which man- ufacturing concerns, great and small, are offering their full service to the government in case of need should go far to check any tendency on the part of Congress to press measures for the taking over and the public op- eration of suci establishments. They can do a great:deal better work under the management of their own officers than under the direction of any talent which the classified civi! service can provide—and they will. THEIR IMPORTANCE. Commercially, the most important feature of the recently acquired West Indies is the fine harbor at Charlotte Amalie on the island of St. Thomas, according to a commercial survey of the islands, just completed by agents of the bureau of foreign and domestic | cording to our, conception, universal | dozen measures which occupied all of commerce, of the department of com-| military training is not an evil, either | jast night and the entire morning, and merce. This survey emphasizes the convenience of the harbor as a dis- tributing center for all of the Lesser Antilles. It lies on the direct line of communication between ‘European ports and the entrance of the. Pana- ma canal, as well as in direct line for vessels plying between the Atlantic ports of the two Americas or between the Atlantic and Pacific ports of these continents. It is 1,400 miles from New York, 1,020 miles from the Atlantic entrance of the Panama ca- nal, and 480 miles from La Guaira, the chief port of Venezuela. Its loca- tion commands the virgin passage to the Carribean sea, the easternmost gateway to that body of water. St. Croix is the largest, wealthiest and most thickly populated of the three islands. It is about 40 miles southeast of St. Thomas and has large areas of very fertile soil. The town of Christiansted, 6n this island, was the seat of the Danish colonial gov- ernment, but Frederiksted, with a much better harbor, is more import- ant commercially, doing approximate- 1¥ 80 per cent. of the import and ex- port business of the island. Sugar is the principal product of St. Croix, al- though some excellent sea-island cot- * members of| platform of national policies, | (Many months ago this newspaper announced as one of the plank eral law providing for the military training of every boy for a sufiicient time to qualify himself physicolly and technically as a soldier ready to re- spond to his country’s call. We said at that time, we have re- peated it many times since anj we re- peat it again now, with all the em- phasis that we can command and with all the sincerity that is in us, that all attempts to solve the problem of cur military defense in any cther way were undemocratic and certuin to prove futile. Two plans for creating a groat citt zen army based upon the military training of every male cit'zen when he attains a certain age are now be- ing worked out in Washington. One is the plan of the general staff of the army; the other the plan of a sub-committee of the senate commit- tee on military affairs. Tho latter is known as the Chamberlain bill, Sena- tor Chamberlain of Oregoa being its proponent. The chief difference in tu2 plans Is |that the general staif plan calls for a year of continuous train‘ne and the Chamberlain plan for six months of continndus training. There are other minor differences, but in the’: funda- Mmentals the plans are «li as, they are both based upon the correct dem- acratic principle that every citizen has equal responsibility for the de- fense of his country and his individ- | ual liberties. | News from Washington as to the attitude of the administration in re- spect to this whole subject of univer- sal military training is rather disqui- eting. . It is to the effect that there is very little, if any enthusiasm for it in the highest places and that it is extreme- ily doubtful whether much progress {can be made with such legislation at the present session of Congress. | The President is unconvinced that |the militia system has proven a fail- ure. He seems to jook upon univer- |sal military training as at best a nec- essary evil to be considered seriously only after every form of voluntary service has been tried and found in- | effective. | If we are right in this interpreta- |tion of the, President's state of mind, |we differ from him absolutely. Ac- | necessary or unnecessary. | On the contrary, we believe that al- together apart from any conisderation | of national defense, universal mil‘tary training would justify itself juiced solely in relation to its physical, men- tal and moral effect upon the men of the nation. We are as sure as it is safe to be about anything in these uncertain times, that universal military training would prove so popular among all classes of people that a few years af- ter its inauguration no statesman who valued his political future would dare oppose it. If you are in favor of universal mil- itary training why not send a letter | or a post card, or possibly a telegram, to the: President or the secretary of war, or your congressman, if you know who he is, telling him so? You may be sure that the peace- at- any-pricers; the people whose chief regret is that the American has only two cheeks, are not modest about im- pressing their sentiments on official Washington. Japan has taken Hawaii. That is, the hula-hula craze is falling away be- fore the influx of geisha dancers. chised $273,625 worth of goods from | RAIL MAN’ OF FORTY YEARS 1S ~DPPOSING BILL General Manager Rapelje of Northern Pacific Considers Himself in Good Standing COMMITTEE IS IN SESSION MANY HOURS Objection to Full Crew Measure Set Forth by All Sides to Controversy | J. M. Rapelje, general manager of | the Northern Pacific, began braking | 38 years ago, and hag been in active service y since. Thirty-five years ago he joined the } Order of Railway Conductors, Twen- ty-nine years ago ne entered the ser- vice of the Northern Pacific on the| Glendive division, He was the firs general chairman of the O. R, C. for the Northern Pacific system; he was chief conductor on his division for no one knows how long; he was made permanent member of the grand di- vision, a post. that can be gained only | by being electedtat Teast four consecu- | tive times delégate,.to the grand di- vision, Eight years ago this month the Glendive division made him a life member and presnted him with a sol- id card, which is one of his proudest possessions. ' “Tf I thought,” said Mr. Rapelje, at the senate railway committee hearing on the full crew bill last night, “that | there was one iota of merit /in this) bill, I would not want to go back to these men, knowing that I had op- posed the bill, We have no war with our trainmen; we recognize our duty to these men, and to the company and to men, many now dead, who put their money into the company and who died, many of them, safe in the conviction that their investment al- ways would be sound, “Do you suppose for one minute, if we thought this bill would save the life of a single man in our employ that we would be against it?” The Northern Pacfiic and Mr. Rap- elje are against the full crew bill, be- cause they do not believe, they say, that it will do what is claimed for it, nor that it is needed. So, too, is the Great Northern, and the Soo line, which Superintendent Scott Derrick noted at the hearing last night was mot represented there by one of its conductors or trainmen, for the rea- son that differences are settled be- tween''tHe men and their company. withdnt outside interference. The hearing was attended by re-| jpresentatives of all railroad compan- ies operating in North Dakota and| by delegates from a number of state | lodges of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the Order of Railway Conductors, An unusual degree of in- terest was shown, and the committee | room was crowded, General Superintendent Bowen spoke(for:'the Great Northern, assert- ing that-a flagman was of no use from the standpoint of safety on the rear end ofsany freight train. “I can’t conceive,” said the Great Northern man, “of any argument which can convince you that there is any safety in a third man on a through freight.” Representatives of the brother- hoods urged the necessity of a third man in handling trains of 50 cars or over, The hearing continued until mid- night, and the committee adjourned without arriving at a report.

I knew no one, had no place to go, no place to sleep. It might have been difficult for me to wire home and find somebody to iden- tify me. I think this bill will work a hardship on many honest, industrious | men.” Senator Cahill opposed the Dill on} the grounds that it would discriminate | against harvest hands, One of the provisions regards as a vagrant any person found sleeping out of doors, “who cannot give a good account of himself.” The member from Grant) pointed out that in many of the small- er towns there are not suflicient hotel accommodations for the hordes of har- | vest-workers who come in in the fall, where they can, Hamilton shared the objections of league conferes to the bill. It was shown, however, that the clause tc which the greatest opposition was made, that relating to sleeping in the open, is contained in the present law, | which this bill merely amends.

Harding stated that the bill was “handed” to him and that he did not become fam- iliar with the purpose of the measure until after it had been introduced. ‘he administration’s compensation act, exempting from its provisions farm and railroad labor, passed the house by .a big majority.
