On paper, the mili and National Guard, have for some time been organized in tactical di- visions, twelve of them.

The animal was his. For him it must die. the most gregarious of men. He is unhappy in a minority. His letter to the Progressive National Committee might aptly be entitled “I Must ot Back into the Republican Party.” To enable him to accomplish that task, will the progressive party, which came “to stay,” disrupt, dissolve, fall upon the impenitent bosoms of the “crooks” of 19122 FHe weeps over it before he knifes it: “Before speaking of anything else, T wish to express my heartiest and most unstinted admiration for the character and services of the men and women who made up the Progressive National Convention in 1916. The form put forth in 1912 was much the most important public document promulgated in this country since the death of Abraham Lincoln.” Suppose the republican party, beat- en in 1856, had given up in 1860 its fight against the extension of slavery? If the platform of 1912 was “the most important public document promul- gated in this country since the death of Abraham Lincoln,” why doesn’t Mr. Roosevelt stick to it? But where is that platform now? It has been thrown into the ashheap of history. Tt was forgotten even by the pro- gressives at their Chicago convention. Where is the recall of judicial de- cisions?

I do not be- lieve that Mr. Hughes would have been nominated if it had not heen for the fight on behalf of public de- cency and efficiency which the pro- gressive party has waged past four years. In any event, and without any regard to what the per- sonal feelings of any of us may be as regards the action of the republi- can convention, I wish very solemnly to ask the representatives of the pro- gressive party to consider at this time only the welfare of the people of the United States.’ “We do not wish to reproduce here for the article itself. .

Obregon has the right idea of what war should be. The only dif- ficulty about it is that it is not prac- tical, is not war at all in the sense that nations go at war. Here is what Obregon says: “In all contests of hon- or the contestants first take the meas- ure of their arms, in order that they may be able to fight on equal :erms. It the United States desires to de- fend its honor, unquestionably it should take the same number of men as we have and equally armed, and fight on flelds selected by mutual con- sent.” And, of course, the men should be selected to the end that they should have equal ability to Aght, in the aggregate, and the umplire should be careful not to place them so that the sun would shine in the eves of one side any more than it blinded the enemy. That 's by no means a bad idea. Tt would require a half-million or more American sol- diers to prevent raids on Americans while the finely arranged war was going on, and the Mexicans would have no such bother as that, because they know there are no bandits to rald their people. And that is the reason why the perfectly fair war is Impossible. The nation capable of making that kind of war has got on its hands the duty of whipping the other nation into a sense of its cussedness. There is no honor involved, because there is nothing in the history of the Mexican people which establishes a recognized code of honor. The Responsibility. (New Haven Journal Courfer.) While this is no time to chide a neighbor, we cannot refrain from ex- pressing surprise at these words taken from an editorial in the otherwise ex- cellent columns of the Waterbury American: “But there is time yet, be- fore duty imposes silence, to . place the responsibility for this condition of unpreparedness where it belongs so that the country may understand what it means in the face of a little war and insist that it be not allowed | to continue against the possibility of a great one.” b We have no desiffe to lift from the shoulders of the "administration in American | than one hundred members of parlia- in Great Britain have enlisted | ! ship. | Section 6, | Streaks!” 1 | We have no desire to see that sort | ior hut, | (Bridgeport Post). If there is nothing in the constitu- tion to prevent it, no absolute prohi- bition, then senators and members of congress should be allowed to hold their positions while serving in the army during the war times. This question comes up at the present time because there are members of both branches of congress, in the wmilitia, who have responded to the call of duty in that direction and who may be sworn in to the Federal service as war needs demand. One of these congressmen is John Q. Tilson of New Haven, who Is lieutenant colonel of the Second Regi- ment. He is a man of long service in the National Guard. He has always taken a keen interest in its svelfare and his experience in that service made him a member of the commit- tee on military affairs, where he has been useful.
