JOB FOR THE STATES ernor Dunne, of Illinois, is of elief that if Congress will make ecessary appropriations there e no difficulty in establishing a bd National Guard of 1,500,000 for the defense of the country. But there is really nothing new e suggestion, although its bob- up at this particular time when ntire nation is primarily inter- in national defense makes it a worthy of comment. To begin the Congress of the United will never undertake to fi- any project that may mean a 1 Guard of such proportions ‘Governor of Illinois sets forth. cause the Congress of the 4 States under the powers in- in it by the Constitution must care of the regular standing army and before anything else of its In the immediate past, the reg- army has fought its main battle g to get from Congress the nec- v appropriations for its existence. e have been some instances when officers of the army have gone ng as three and four months put pay because Congress neg- d to make the necessary provi- » As long as the United States re- a Republic there will never be chance of Congress financing an 1 of too great proportiébns. Any- that approaches militarism will ecried, no matter how much the country is in need of defense. And, strange to say, what is deemed mili- tarism always apples to the army, never to the navy. It makes no differ- ence how big the navy is, no one hears the cry of navalism. So, while Congress may appropriate money each year for bigger and better battle- ships, there will be very little ue and cry from the “Friends of Peace’, and such organizations. But the moment any mention is made of aug- menting the army, the “Small Army Men'" arise en masse and try to start a battle. That is the only time they show flght. So, if Governor Dunne would have his suggestion ‘'needed, and, it is presumed such is his desire, he would best direct his energies to gotting the governors of the various states interested. He ‘can then leave Congress to handle its own army problem. To do this he should ask each state to take more interest in its militia. For, after all, the militia is the state’s guard. It has its uses in other lines than war, and, should be organized and financed by the state itself. Each state in the union, if the question were properly brought to its attention, would shake aside the apathy: of the present day in regard to its militia and go out to make ' the state troops the equal, if not the bet- ter, of the regular army of the United States. -When this spirit is engen- dered in each and every man and boy in every state in the Union there will be an army ten times, yes, twenty times ‘greater than the one suggested by ‘Governor Dunne,—an army that | might repel any foe without suffering severe losses, an army fit to protect its native land without so much as even getting cxeited over the job. THE VICE PRESIDENCY. Accofdlng to despatches from ‘Washington, Vice President Marshall's name may be left off the Democratic ticket next year. Leaders are now casting about for some other man to make the run with Woodrow Wilson. There is nothing surprising in this, inasmuch as it seems to be a prece- dent sanctioned by years and years of political history that the man who occupies the presidency rarely, if ever, makes the second race for office with the name of his vice president pro tem on the short end of the bal- lot. If Mr. Wilson's admirers care to cast aside Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana, say, for one J. Hamlilton Lewis, of Illinois, as hinted, they will have plenty of excuses at hand to sooth the troubled spirit of the pres- ent president of the Senate. For, al- though Mr. Marshall has often made light of his office, characterizing it as the most useless occupation on carth, it is known he is not averse to running again on the same ticket Woodrow ‘Wilson. As evidence of this he refuses to be- lieve that President Wiison said: “It is unlucky to run the same team twice.” Whether the President said it or was misquoted should make no difference to a man who had the fol- lowing jest to sling at his own posi- tion in the political world:—*“If some rival of Nobel should offer a prize of $40,000 to the man who has done the least for humanity the Vice Pres- ident of the United States would easily distance all competitors.” When Mr. Marshall, having cast aside the governorship of Indiana, essayed to the higher honorary office, he at first rather relished his job; after deliver- ing himself of sundry and various with remarks. however, and having had the | “silencer’” put on him by his master, ne changed his opinfon. Of course, a denial has been issued from the White House, and it has been affirmed in no uncertain terms that President Wilson has never ex- pressed a desire that some other man take Mr, Marshall's place as his run- ning mate. This, naturally, was pected. President Wilson is not going to cause any disruption in his party by asking his political partner to step down and out. If Mr. Marshall pressed a desire to go, which he has not, and probably will not, no matter ex- ex- how he jests about the unimportance of the place, then all would be differ- ent. So whatever action is taken on the plan of replacing Mr. Marshall will be started and carried out by friends of other political lights as, for instance, the backers of J. “Ham.” The Lewis boom is on, and his sup- porters announce they will present his name to the Democratic wational convention, providing no honorable rules of political warfare are broken in the attempt. While disclaiming any ill feeling towards Vice President Marchall the I,ewis cohorts say their man was “born for the office.” As evidence of this they point out- the following well known attributes of the Senator from Illinois: a natural sauvity of manner, a Chesterfieldian courtesy, a sartorial splendor, and other indefinable but obvious qualifi- cations which enable him to fit into any social program. So far, Lewis is the only man to appear on the horizon who might give trouble to Marshall in securing a renomination. Whether the present incumkent will step aside Iy and let the glib tongued orator from the windy City replace him, remains to be seen, Just where the gain would be, from a Democratic standpoint, is difficult to see.

(New York World.) To the Editor of the World— “Newspaper Graduate” makes me tired. Writing to the World with his plea for charity for newspaper report- ers, he says, “There is no future in their occupation.” Fudge! I'll cut out generalities and mention a few names: William Jennings Bryan was cover- ing the Democratic National Conven- tlon as a reporter when he won the nomination for President; and his op- ponent of later years, President Taft, worked as a reporter on the Cincin- nati Times. No future? Here in New York, ex-Mayor Mc- Clellan was a reporter, and so was Borough President McAneny. Bob Adamson, Fire Commissioner, was a reporter not so long ago, and so was Joe Johnson his predecessor, and Dave Ferguson, who is running the City Record cheaper than it was ever run before. Maximilian Foster, the short-story writer, went out on assign- ments until he had to quit to catch up on his orders from the magazines. The late David Graham Phillips, one of the most brilliant novelists of our own day, began as a $15 reporter and 8ot to be a crackerjack. Max Marcin, who has just achieved the signal fame of having two pla produced on Broadway in one week, was a re- porter a couple of years ago. Frank A. Vanderbilt, president of the Na- tional City Bank, biggest bank in the United States, was a reporter but a few years back (and a gobd one), and so was Bishop Burch, suffragan of New York, and Supt. Maxwell of the public schools worked as a Brooklyn reporter. The late Sereno S. Pratt, who died the other day in harness as secretary of the Chamber of Com- merce and a nation-wide authority on matters financial and commercial, covered many a fire and murder be- fore he learned enough for his bigger job. A 1ot of reporters are army officers, and the late Capt. Archie Butt, Presi- dent Taft’s militarv aide, who tipped his hat as he gave a woman his seat in the boat and went down with the Titanic, was a reporter.

Roosevelt aroused the 2,500 men and women who attended the celebration of Columbus Day at Car- negie Hall, given by the New York chapter of the Knights of Columbus, to tremendous enthusiasm by his at- tack on the hyphens and his strong demand for preparedness, physical and mental. “There is no place here for the hyphenated American,” de- clared the colonel. “‘and the sooner he returns to the country of his real allegiance, the better.” This senti- ment was cheered to the echo. The colonel emphasized the fact that for- elgn birth did not make a hyphen. Some of the ablest and bravest gen- erals who have fought in the wars of the United States have been men of foreign birth. It is only when an American was first a son of the fatherland and only second an Amer- ican that he became a hyphen. Turning to preparedness, the colo- nel once more emphasized the value of the Swiss plan of universal service, saying: “I would have the son of the multi-millionaire and the son of the immigrant who came over in the steerage, sleep under the same dog tent and eat the same grub. It would help mightily to a mutual comprehen- sion of life.” Incidentally, he in- dulged in a bit of sarcasm, which his audience cheered to the echo: “I want to call the attention of the individ- uals who sing about the mother who didn’t bring up her hoy to be a sol- dier, to the fact that if the song had been popular from 1776 to 1781 there wouldn’t be anyone to sing it today.” The colonel also attacked the labor unions for their lack of patriotism, laying it down as a general principle that in time of war neither the man who ran the factory for the govern- ment nor the man who worked in it should make extra money either in wage or profit. The enthusiasm with which Col. Roosevelt was received by the Knights of Columbus proves how misrepresen- t{~tive of the majority of American citizens of more recent foreign de- scent, for all Americans are of for- eign descent, is the hyphenated citi- zen. No audience made up of May- flower descendants or Colonial War- riors, who trace their forebears back to the beginning of things on this continent, would have given him a more enthusiastic or patriotic recep- tion than was given him at Carnegie hall, Trial of New Haven Directors. (New Haven Journal-Courier.) The average man will, we suspect, approach the consideration of the trial of the directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company with mingled feelings. In spite of the misfortunes which have overtaken the company, largely through reckless expenditures of money in financing a vision of rail- road consolidation which has by no manner of means: heen found faulty in principle, many of us have been unable to reconcile deliberate con- spiracy on the part of the directors with our personal knowledge of their characters. Many of us have been equally unable to reconcile Mr. Mel- len’s attitude as chief witness against these directors in the trial begun vesterday with the sense of justic among associates which usually pre- vails as a personal obligation. To speak definitely only of those who reside in this section of the state of Connecticut while gladly attribut- ing to their associates a like reputa- tion for square dealing among the people of their section, there has been nothing in the conduct of these gentlemen hitherto to warrant the belief that they were men lacking to any degree in the probity and in- tegrity with which they had always been accredited. They were men of recognized standing in the community, were foremost in movements of a charitable and philanthropic charac- ter, and in certain cases were fre- quently drafted to represent thelr fellow townsmen in positions of an fimportant political charcter. With this record in their favor. Tt would be in the highest degree ungracious to accept as true the charges brought against them by the government. If ever a group of men were ever en- titled to be considered innocent until proven guilty, it is this group. Kven if it is shown that they were actively connected Wwith the company when those things were done which brought the railroad to the verge of hank- ruptey, it Wwill still be necessary to prove, in order to convince many of us of their guilt that they were not more sinned against than sinning. On the other hand, as the Hart- ford Courant suggests, it would be more satisfactory to all concerned if Mr. Mellen was among the indicted and not the star witness for the gov- ernment. It strikes many that some- how, by means of the law's surprises, that the case has been turned upside down, and that, instead of those most responsible for what happened being tried for thelr liberty, we find those least responsible, or, if responsible, no more responsible than as directors who followed their leader. To quote again from the Courant of Hartford: “The Mcllen regime was a regime of dictatorship, and those who think they know say the dictator was Char- les S. Mellen. He dominated the board of directors: with his siren song of ‘benevolent monopoly’ he cap- tivated legislatures and put legisla- tive lobbying on the top shelf with the dodo. He professed faith in New Haven stock when it was not worth half its price, and the widows and orphans have him to thank for being deprived of their income. Tt was on his urgent advice that they kept their stock; and they had no inside infor- mation later on when to sell stock short, and thus recoup their losses as he recouped his. For these and many other reasons the people of this part | of New England, who clamor for even- handed justice, would prefer that Charles S. Mellen stood at bar today rather than that as accuser he submit testimony that may put in the peni- tentiary the men who supported his regime.” No one wants to interfere with the progress of justice, the meting out to the guilty the punishment they have earned by their criminal behavior, but a complete sense of justice will not be vindicated if the directors are punished and Mr. Mellen is given his liberty. That would be too raw meat for the stomach of the average man, even though the directors were let go with a nominal fine with the stain of guilt upon their characters. Increase in Vice, (Bridgeport Standard-) Members of the vice commission are learning what has been common knowledge to many people for a long time. That the social evil has not grown any ]ess in the 1ast twenty years and that its worst feature is the clan- destine immorality that exists in places least suspected and, apparently, with the least economic reason. Com- mercialized vice, like a boil, is appar- ent and unlovely, painful to those of refined or religious bent. and not al- together pleasant to those who choose the ‘“primrase path.” The other, more insidious form, while a matter of personal choice,—and some will claim a right to choose—is more dam- aging to the municipality and to the nation. Youths who have been' decently brought up are repelled by the aver- age denizen of the underworld. Girls wha have been cared for in comfort- | able homes find no attraction in the half-world life, if they know of it. But these same classes, if not properly instructed upon the perils and respon- sibilities of future parents, may, through curiosity and mere animal spirits, enter upon secret ways that bode no good to them ar to humanity. The church, through its teachingzs, keeps many pure in body, though some may err in mind. Pride pre- vents others from doing evil things. Fear of scanda] restrains others. But outside of these | classes are those whose religious training has been scant, whase pride 18 not overwhelm- ing, and others who will ‘“take a chance” of eluding the gossips. It is these, as well as the more secluded ones, that the city must reach. Men and women must be pure in heart be- fore any great reform can come. They must not only do no evil, but they must not desire to evil. Commercialized vice may be great- ly restrained or entirery eliminated if the great mass of the people desire it. The other phase is more difficult to reach. Better wages, more sane en- tertainments, greater personal purity and worthier examples among those who have prospered in the community would help tremendously. Misdirecting Letters, have been worrying unduly The man in the White House is tmnkln“ of America first, and the nltentlon which he is giving to reports upon the ‘ needs of both the army and the navy show that he is alive to the question. | Indeed neither he nor any of us could be indifferent to the very perplexing problem which the war in Europe has brought to the front. It is being amply demonstrated that congress and the country, as well as the presi- dent, are ready for some forward ac- tion. The difficulty lies in doing the wise and sound thing. Indeed, as it looks as if the need might come | public sentiment is being developed, later on for some slowing down, rath- | er than speeding up. We must be ! ready to play our part in the world as the great helpful neutral nation, but as one in whose heart is ever the hope of peace and good-will between men. But for the present the need of | caring for our own is at the front, and it will be met. In this connection the Chicago Post has been attempting to poll congress on the question, “Do you favor an increase in the army and navy for defense preparedness?”’ The returns by mail which that newspaper had received up to Tuesday revealed that out of 228 answers, 194 from rep- resentatives and thirty-eight from senators, the vote was more than ten to one for a larger army and navy. Both the Massachusetts senators, Messrs. Lodge and Weeks, voted yes; and so did ten of our representatives —Messrs. Treadway, Gillett, Paige, Rogers, Roberts, Greene, Walsh, Gal- negative vote had come from this livan, Dallinger and Tinkham. Nota The Dr) (Nashville Tennessean.) Somebody—we think we know his | name, though it isn't signed—has « poem in the Columbia (S. C.) state, headed “Southern Politics.” That may not be a very good title, but it certainly is a mighty good humorous poem. It has to do with the passing of liquor from the South. There is a fascihating swing to the thing, and there is a touch of fantastic rhyme making, not quite so quaint, perhaps, as Ted Robinson’s, but mighty clever. | Get it in this:— By the still side on the hilislde in | Kentucky all is still, For the only damp refreshment must be dipped up from the rill N'th C'lina’s stately ruler gives his cola glass a shove And discusses local option with tha South C'lina Gov. We have been serious about this matter a long time. It is timely and good that we smile a little, now that the victory is won. And there's no better way of stating a serious fact effectively than to state it humorous- ly. Can you beat this for driving the point home that the South no longer drinks ?7— Lay the jest, about the julep in the camphor balls at last. the miracle has happened and the olden days are past That which makes Milwaukee famous For (Waterbury Democrat.) The postmaster of Chicago is quot- ed as saying that 43 per cent. of the mail handled by the Chicago post office is not properly addressed. and that it costs about $1,000,000 a year to correct the addresses and see that the letters get to their destination. Maybe that's an excessive estimate. But there’s no doubt tnat the care- lessness of the public is responsible for an immense amount of unneces- sary wark in the post office depart- ment, and an expenditure of many millions of dollars a year which might be put to a worthier purpose. The man or woman who misdirects a letter through carelessness or laziness is in the same class with che one who gives a telephone number from an uncertain memory, instead of laoking it up. It is harder on the post office, however, than it is on the telephone company. It may take days to clear up a dublous address. The delivery of one mis-directed letter may take more time and trouble than a hundred letters 1d- dressed properly, but the department gets only the usual two cents for it. And of course, in supporting this public institution, the careful people pay for the expenses caused by the careless. Wouldn't it he a good thing if the sender of a misdirected letter were made to pay something extra for the trouble he causes the post office. The Nose For News. (Letter to the New York Sun.) As to the suggested requirement of an examination for license to practice the profession of journalism, one possession which the schools may enlarge, but cannot give. It is known in the shop talk of newspaper men as “a nose for news.” The points in a story which, con- spicuously developed in the telling, add interest are not tagged, and are frequently buried from the eyes of the reporters in a mass of inconsequence. | A seeker with a nose for news scents them, an instinct visualiz them for him so that in his mind's eyes he sees them pictured in print; h(- knows the) are the features which, “played up, will make his story attractive, and minimized will make it commonplace. Could the examiners of a candidate for license determine his possession or lack of this instinct? To some it would seem enlightening to try to determine the value of a bird dog’s nose without a field trial. A nose for news is a combination of a sense of proportion, an intuitive grasp of relative values, a feeling for what will brighten a narrative of facts, a positive, if indefinable, con- gciousness that this will interest, that bore, a quick guess where lie the facts which, secured, will develop those ends of the story most certain to make interesting reading. Who can teach it? Massachusetts in a Poll for parednes (Springfield Republican.)

Yes, the South is dry—drier than any other section of the country, It eats the kernel out of a good many honorable old chestnuts, but they had served their day and ought to be dead, anyhow. It never was true that we drank more down here than the people of other sections drank, but maybe we talked about it more. The World Should Slow Down. (St. Louis Republic.) The world has lost its silencé. That's the trouble with it. By silence we mean, of course, a sense of lelsure. That surely is gone. The lamps are no longer lit on quiet. Every minute is packed with noise or action. The photograph, the “movie,” the automo- bile mean always something to hear, something to see, somewhere to go. That is constituency the modern ar- tist addresses. It has developed In him a new technic, a spur-of-the- moment style. Were a Dickens hero today, who would listen to him- Cer- tainly people of professed culture would not. They no longer read Dick- ens, Thackeray grows tiresome with the years, Trollope, ‘whose fiction surely was engaging, is a dead let- ter.
